Company Overview

Triple Flag is a precious-metals-focused streaming and royalty company offering bespoke financing solutions to the metals and mining industry. Our mission is to be a preferred funding partner to mining companies throughout the commodity cycle by providing customized streaming and royalty financing, while offering value beyond capital as partners via our networks, capabilities and sustainability support.

Since inception, we have invested in and systematically developed a long-life, low-cost, high-quality diversified portfolio of streams and royalties providing exposure primarily to gold and silver. As at August 7, 2024 our portfolio is comprised of 236 assets, consisting of 17 streams and 219 royalties.

1.Asset count as at August 7, 2024.
2.Represents 48 development stage assets and 156 exploration stage assets.

Our portfolio is underpinned by a stable base of cash flow generating streams and royalties and is designed to grow intrinsically over time through exposure to potential mine life extensions, exploration success, new mine builds and throughput expansions. In addition, we are focused on further enhancing portfolio quality by executing accretive investments to grow the scale and quality of our portfolio of precious metals streams and royalties. We believe we have a differentiated approach to deal origination and due diligence, increasing the applicability of stream and royalty financing to an underserved mining sector, expanding the application of this form of financing through bespoke deal generation for miners while creating a high-quality, precious-metals-focused portfolio of streams and royalties for our investors. We focus on ‘‘per share’’ metrics with the objective that accretive new investments are pursued with careful management of the capital structure to effectively compete for quality assets without incurring long-term financial leverage.

Market Overview

The market prices of gold and silver are primary drivers of our profitability and ability to generate free cash flow.

The following table sets forth the average gold and silver prices, and the average exchange rate between the Canadian and U.S. dollars, for the periods indicated.

Gold

The market price of gold is subject to volatile price movements over short periods of time and can be affected by numerous macroeconomic factors including, but not limited to, the value of the U.S. dollar, the sale or purchase of gold by central banks and financial institutions, interest rates, inflation or deflation, global and regional supply and demand and global political and economic conditions. The market price of gold is a significant contributor to the performance of our gold streams and related interests and royalty portfolio.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the gold price set an all-time record, ranging from $2,265 to $2,427 per ounce, averaging $2,338 per ounce for the period, an 18% increase from the same period in the prior year. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the gold price ranged from $1,985 to $2,427 per ounce, averaging $2,203 per ounce for the period, a 14% increase from the same period in the prior year. As at June 30, 2024, the gold price was $2,331 per ounce (based on LBMA PM fix).

Silver

The market price of silver is also subject to volatile price movements. Silver, often considered a proxy for gold with a high level of correlation to the metal, is predominantly used in industrial applications and silver demand is also correlated to the Industrial Index. A rebound of manufacturing activity is expected to have a positive effect on silver as silver has many uses. The market price of silver is driven by factors similar to those influencing the market price of gold, as stated above. The market price of silver is a significant contributor to the performance of our silver streams.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the silver price ranged from $25.65 to $32.01 per ounce, averaging $28.84 per ounce for the period, a 20% increase from the same period in the prior year. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the silver price ranged from $22.09 to $32.01 per ounce, averaging $26.07 per ounce for the period, a 12% increase from the same period in the prior year. As at June 30, 2024, the silver price was $29.37 per ounce (based on the LBMA fix).

Currency Exchange Rates

We are subject to minimal currency fluctuations as the majority of our revenue and cost of sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, with the majority of general administration costs denominated in Canadian dollars. The Company monitors foreign currency risk as part of its risk management program. As at June 30, 2024, there were no hedging programs in place for non-U.S. denominated dollar expenses.

2.Australian Cash Taxes are payable for Triple Flag’s Australian royalty interests.
3.Assumed commodity prices of $1,900/oz gold and $21.00/oz silver.

Our 2024 outlook on stream and royalty interests is based on publicly available forecasts of the owners or operators of the underlying properties and/or operations on which we have stream and royalty interests. When publicly available forecasts on properties are not available, we obtain internal forecasts from the owners or operators, or use our own best estimate. We conduct our own independent analysis of this information to reflect our expectations based on an operator’s historical performance and track record of replenishing Mineral Reserves and the operator’s publicly disclosed guidance on future production, the conversion of Mineral Resources to Mineral Reserves, timing risk adjustments, our view on opportunities for mine plan optimization and other factors. We may also make allowances for the risk of uneven stream deliveries, timing differences in the deliveries under our streams or the payment of our royalties, and the attainment of public guidance ranges for our counterparties. Achievement of the GEOs and the other metrics set forth in the guidance above is subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including changes in commodity prices and the ability of operators to attain the results set out in their forecasts. Accordingly, we can provide no assurance that the actual GEOs and such other metrics for 2024 will be in the ranges set forth above. In addition, we may revise our guidance during the year to reflect more current information. If we are unable to achieve our anticipated guidance, or if we revise our guidance, our future results of operations may be adversely affected, and our share price may decline.

Sustainability Initiatives and Talent

In late June 2024, we published our 2023 Sustainability Report, “Resourcing Tomorrow.” This report aligns with the recommendations of the IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures, which aim to increase transparency on climate-related risks and opportunities. In partnership with Key Carbon, we retired 20,000 Gold Standard-verified carbon credits in April, offsetting over 15,000 tons of emissions attributable to downstream mining activities, known as Scope 3 emissions, that took place in 2023. This project allows clean and efficient cookstoves to be distributed at a subsidized price, enabling access to Nigerian families who otherwise could not afford them. To date, we have offset over 73,000 tons of attributable emissions to remain carbon neutral since inception. We are proud to have our 2030 target of a 50% reduction in Scope 2 emissions (using a 2018 baseline) published by the Science-Based Target initiative (SBTi) in June 2024. After an update by Sustainalytics in May 2024, our ESG Risk Rating improved to 6.7 (negligible risk), upgrading our ranking to 2nd out of 118 companies in the precious metals industry and 1st in the precious metals mining subindustry.

Throughout the second quarter of 2024, we added bench strength to our team in various areas, notably, a new Managing Director for Triple Flag International, based out of Bermuda, who started subsequent to quarter-end. This role will oversee day-to-day management of Triple Flag International and provide additional depth to the team.

2024 also marks the second consecutive year of the Triple Flag Summer Student Program, which has resulted in the hiring of two summer students. To further our commitment to quality education, Triple Flag became the first royalty & streaming sponsor of the Young Mining Professionals Toronto Chapter, which aims to foster retention and build connections across the mining industry.

As part of the Triple Flag Impala Bafokeng Bursary Program, we interviewed and awarded bursaries to two students from Charora High School in South Africa, in addition to the nine continuing students from the 2023 cohort. In Australia, we awarded three new scholarships, through the Triple Flag Northparkes Scholarship program, to students pursuing careers in pharmaceutical medicine and occupational therapy. This is in addition to ongoing financial support to a fourth student studying medicine; all of whom intend to contribute to rural communities in New South Wales post-graduation.

Portfolio of Streaming and Related Interests and Royalty Interests

The following tables present our revenue and GEOs sold by asset for the periods indicated. GEOs are based on stream and related interests as well as royalty interests and are calculated on a quarterly basis by dividing all revenue from such interests for the quarter by the average gold price during that quarter. For periods greater than one quarter, GEOs are summed for each quarter in the period. The gold price is determined based on the LBMA PM fix.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we sold 27,192 GEOs, an increase of 2% from 26,616 GEOs sold for the same period in the prior year largely due to higher GEOs from Cerro Lindo and Northparkes due to higher deliveries. This was partially offset by lower GEOs from ATO and Moss due to lower deliveries and lower GEOs from Fosterville due to lower attributable royalty ounces. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we sold 54,986 GEOs, an increase of 3% from 53,215 GEOs sold for the same period in the prior year, largely due to higher GEOs from Northparkes and Cerro Lindo and higher deliveries and GEOs from the Kensington royalty which began paying earlier this year. This was partially offset by lower GEOs from ATO and Moss due to lower deliveries and lower GEOs from Fosterville due to lower attributable royalty ounces.

Key Developments

Subsequent to June 30, 2024

Acquisition of 3% gold streams on Agbaou and Bonikro

On August 7, 2024, Triple Flag acquired 3% streams on each of the Agbaou and Bonikro mines operated by Allied Gold Corp. (“Allied”) for total cash consideration of $53.0 million. Triple Flag will make ongoing payments of 10% of the spot gold price for each ounce delivered under the streams. The streams will cover the existing mining and exploration licenses for the Agbaou and Bonikro mines, both located in Cote d’Ivoire.

Under the Agbaou stream, the gold stream will step down to 2% payable gold after the delivery of 29,000 ounces of gold, and under the Bonikro stream the gold stream will step down to 2% payable gold after the delivery of 39,300 ounces of gold. From 2024 to 2027 the streams are subject to a period of annual minimum deliveries, under the Agbaou stream an annual minimum of 2,500 to 2,750 GEOs will be delivered and under the Bonikro stream an annual minimum of 3,500 to 4,250 GEOs will be delivered. A parent guarantee is provided by Allied.

Acquisition of additional Tamarack Royalty

On July 5, 2024, Triple Flag acquired an additional 1.0% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty from Talon Nickel (USA) LLC (“Talon”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Talon Metals Corp., a TSX-listed company, for total consideration of $8 million (“Additional Tamarack Royalty”). The royalty will be paid out of Talon’s participating interest in the Tamarack project. Triple Flag also received 8 million common share purchase warrants, each exercisable to acquire one share of Talon Metals Corp. for an exercise price of C$0.20 per share for a period of two years. The royalty is subject to a buydown right to reduce the Additional Tamarack Royalty to 0.6% for $5 million, exercisable for a period of two years, subject to certain conditions. This Additional Tamarack Royalty is in addition to the 1.11% NSR royalty Triple Flag already owns on Tamarack.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024

Kensington litigation settlement

On March 28, 2024, Triple Flag and Coeur Mining, Inc. (“Coeur”) entered into a settlement agreement to resolve litigation regarding the terms of a royalty held by Triple Flag on Coeur’s Kensington gold mine.

As part of the settlement agreement, Triple Flag shall receive $6.75 million in Coeur shares ($3.0 million received in April 2024, and $3.75 million to be received in the first quarter of 2025).

Steppe Gold Prepaid Gold Interest

On March 15, 2024, Triple Flag and Steppe Gold Ltd. (“Steppe Gold”) agreed to amend and restate the Steppe Gold Prepaid Gold Interest agreement such that the Company would make a further cash payment of $5.0 million in exchange for delivery of 2,650 ounces of gold over five months, with the first delivery under the amended and restated agreement to be made in August 2024.

The Steppe Gold Prepaid Gold Interest is accounted for as a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss.

Operating Assets – Performance

Our business is organized into a single operating segment, consisting of acquiring and managing precious metals and other high-quality streams and royalties. Our chief operating decision-maker, the CEO, makes capital allocation decisions, reviews operating results and assesses performance.

Asset Performance — Streams and related assets (producing)

1.Cerro Lindo (Operator: Nexa Resources S.A.)

Under the stream agreement with Nexa Resources S.A. (“Nexa”), we receive 65% of payable silver produced from the Cerro Lindo mine until 19.5 million ounces have been delivered and 25% thereafter. Typically, deliveries under the stream lag production by up to four months. As at June 30, 2024, 15.5 million ounces of silver had been delivered under the stream agreement with Nexa since inception.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we sold 688,921 ounces of silver delivered under the agreement, a 104% increase from the same period in the prior year driven by higher deliveries. GEOs sold were 8,584 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 4,054 for the same period in the prior year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we sold 1.3 million ounces of silver delivered under the agreement, an 31% increase from the same period in the prior year driven by higher deliveries. GEOs sold were 15,169 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 11,448 for the same period in the prior year.

Ongoing exploration at Cerro Lindo is primarily focused on extending the mineralization of near mine targets known as Orebodies 8B, 9 and 6a, as well as the Patahuasi Millay target located within Triple Flag’s stream area. Assays returned during the second quarter of 2024 included 32.1 meters grading 4.56% Zn, 1.53% Pb and 80.33 g/t Ag at Orebody 8BC, which compares to the current proven and probable silver reserve grade of 22.6 g/t.

2.Northparkes (Operator: Evolution Mining Limited)

Under the stream agreement, we receive 54% of payable gold from Northparkes until an aggregate of 630,000 ounces have been delivered and 27% of payable gold thereafter. We also receive 80% of payable silver until an aggregate of 9 million ounces of silver have been delivered, and 40% of payable silver thereafter. Typically, deliveries under the stream may lag production by approximately two months. As at June 30, 2024, 52,832 ounces of gold and 897,374 ounces of silver had been delivered under the stream agreement since inception.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we sold 6,000 ounces of gold and 49,639 ounces of silver. This compares to 3,657 ounces of gold and 70,857 ounces of silver delivered and sold for the same period in the prior year. GEOs sold were 6,620 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 4,558 for the same period in the prior year.

12


For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we sold 11,134 ounces of gold and 143,068 ounces of silver. This compares to 5,930 ounces of gold and 116,157 ounces of silver delivered and sold for the same period in the prior year. GEOs sold were 12,906 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 7,304 for the same period in the prior year.

During the second quarter of 2024, Evolution Mining Limited (“Evolution”) hosted an analyst and investor site visit to showcase recent developments and future growth strategies at Northparkes. Notably, partial mining of E48 via a sub-level cave (“SLC”) is now being contemplated, as E48 is a well-established mine that until December 2023 was being extracted by block cave. The introduction of a potential SLC at E48 represents optimization of the mine plan under Evolution’s operatorship as this portion of the upper area would have been lost to dilution under the former block cave-only mine plan. With the first SLC at E48 expected to be commissioned starting from the second quarter of 2025, as well as the orebody’s high reserve grade of 0.41 g/t Au, the operator now expects Northparkes to deliver a steadier production profile following the depletion of the E31 and E31N open pits and through to commissioning of E22. First production from the E22 orebody is now expected during Evolution’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2029, with a current reserve grade of 0.37 g/t Au. The average milled head grade at Northparkes from 2021 to 2023, prior to the introduction of the higher-gold grade E31 and E31N open pits, was approximately 0.15 g/t Au.

For the E48 SLC, a pre-feasibility study is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2025. Currently, the mine life for E48 SLC is expected to end in 2034.

The E22 block cave feasibility study was completed at the end of June 2024, as planned, and is currently subject to review by the Evolution Board of Directors. Additionally, a SLC and hybrid option study for E22 is expected to be completed by Evolution by June 30, 2025.

Higher-grade gold ore from the E31 and E31N open pits continue to contribute to mill feed blend, which is expected to drive significant GEOs sales growth in 2024 versus 2023.

3.Impala Bafokeng Operations, previously known as Royal Bafokeng Platinum (Operator: Impala Platinum Holdings Limited)

Under the stream agreement, we receive 70% of payable gold until 261,000 ounces are delivered and 42% of payable gold thereafter from the Impala Bafokeng Operations (“Impala Bafokeng”). Typically, deliveries under the stream may lag production by approximately five months. As at June 30, 2024, 31,161 ounces of gold had been delivered under the stream agreement since inception.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we sold 1,407 ounces of gold delivered under the stream agreement, this is a decrease from the 1,600 ounces delivered and sold for the same period in the prior year. GEOs sold were 1,405 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 1,601 for the same period in the prior year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we sold 2,943 ounces of gold delivered under the stream agreement, this is a decrease from the 3,135 ounces delivered and sold for the same period in the prior year. GEOs sold were 2,942 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 3,122 for the same period in the prior year.

Subsequent to quarter-end, on July 4, 2024, Impala Platinum Holdings confirmed that the illegal work stoppage at the North Shaft of the BRPM operation at Impala Bafokeng had been resolved. The illegal strike action involving members of the contractor workforce, who demanded permanent positions, commenced on June 27, 2024.

4.Altan Tsagaan Ovoo (Operator: Steppe Gold)

Under the stream agreement with Steppe Gold, we receive 25% of the payable gold until 46,000 ounces of gold have been delivered and thereafter, 25% of payable gold subject to an annual cap of 7,125 ounces. We also receive 50% of the payable silver until 375,000 ounces of silver have been delivered and thereafter, 50% of payable silver subject to an

13


annual cap of 59,315 ounces. As at June 30, 2024, 28,281 ounces of gold and 104,085 ounces of silver had been delivered under the stream agreement with Steppe Gold since inception.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we sold 1,012 ounces of gold and 18,336 ounces of silver delivered to the Company under the stream, compared to the 2,678 ounces of gold and 14,609 ounces of silver delivered and sold under the stream and related interests for the same period in the prior year, respectively. GEOs sold were 1,254 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 2,843 for the same period in the prior year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we sold 2,262 ounces of gold and 28,206 ounces of silver delivered to the Company under the stream, compared to the 5,895 ounces of gold and 15,006 ounces of silver delivered and sold under the stream and related interests for the same period in the prior year, respectively. GEOs sold were 2,630 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 6,076 for the same period in the prior year.

Subsequent to quarter end, on August 1, 2024, the previously announced merger of Steppe Gold and Boroo Gold was completed. The completion of this acquisition has established Steppe Gold as the largest gold producer in Mongolia, providing further financial strength, asset diversification and scale.

Commissioning of the ATO Phase 2 Expansion project remains on track for the first half of 2026. Early works at site continue to progress, which includes field work for a feasibility study, geotechnical studies and trade-off studies to optimize the grinding circuit and use of Jameson cells versus conventional flotation. These activities are expected to be completed by the end of September 2024. Separately, WSP has been appointed as design partner, focusing on the detailed engineering design for a new flotation plant.

5.Buriticá (Operator: Zijin Mining Group Co.)

Under the stream agreement, we receive 100% of payable silver from Buriticá based on a fixed silver-to-gold ratio of 1.84 over the life of the asset.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we sold 118,345 ounces of silver delivered to the Company under the agreement, compared to 118,626 ounces of silver delivered and sold for the same period in the prior year. GEOs sold were 1,455 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 1,430 for the same period in the prior year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we sold 201,699 ounces of silver delivered to the Company under the agreement, compared to 246,865 ounces of silver delivered and sold for the same period in the prior year. GEOs sold were 2,429 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 2,908 for the same period in the prior year.

Throughout the second quarter of 2024, Buriticá was able to maintain steady operations; however, due to the ongoing presence of illegal miners, certain areas of the mine were avoided as a precautionary measure. The mine site continues to engage closely with the surrounding community on illegal mining and is supported by the National Army and National Police of Colombia during this period of heightened security concern.

Asset Performance — Royalties (Producing)

1.Fosterville Gold Mine (Operator: Agnico Eagle Mines Limited)

The Company holds a 2% NSR royalty interest in Agnico Eagle Mines Limited’s (“Agnico Eagle") Fosterville mine in Australia.

GEOs earned were 901 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 1,697 for the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we earned 1,952 GEOs compared to 2,587 in the prior year.

14


During the first half of 2024, gold production decreased when compared to the prior year period, mainly driven by expected lower gold grades under the mining sequence, including the Swan Zone.  

Fosterville is also currently advancing an upgrade of the primary ventilation system to sustain the mining rate in the Lower Phoenix zones in future years. The operator expects the project to be completed by early 2025. Fosterville continues to focus on productivity gains and cost control at the mine and the mill to maximize throughput and reduce unit costs.

2.Beta Hunt (Operator: Westgold Resources Limited, effective August 1, 2024)

The Company holds a 3.25% gross revenue return (“GRR”) and 1.5% NSR royalty on all gold production and aggregate 1.5% NSR royalties on all nickel production from the Beta Hunt mine, located in Australia.

GEOs earned were 1,444 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 1,443 for the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we earned 2,658 GEOs compared to 2,414 in the prior year.

As per the operator, the expansion project to increase mine capacity at Beta Hunt to 2 million tonnes per annum remains on track for completion by the end of 2024.

On August 1, 2024, Westgold Resources and Karora Resources Inc. (“Karora”) closed the previously announced friendly merger pursuant to which, Westgold has acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Karora. Completion of the transaction is expected to create one of the top 5 largest, ASX-listed gold producers operating exclusively in Western Australia with a strong balance sheet, a significantly expanded exploration fleet to deploy at Beta Hunt’s Fletcher zone, and a secondary TSX listing.

On June 10th, 2024, Karora announced successful exploration results with the extension of the Fletcher zone to 800 meters of strike with assays of 17.3 g/t Au over 14.5 meters, as well as some clusters of fine visible gold mineralization. The operator’s focus for the remainder of the year is to deliver a maiden mineral resource for the Fletcher zone, and ongoing development access to Fletcher from existing workings.

3.Young-Davidson Gold Mine (Operator: Alamos Gold Inc.)

The Company holds a 1.5% NSR royalty interest in Alamos Gold Inc.’s (“Alamos”) Young-Davidson mine in Canada. GEOs earned were 677 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 700 for the same period in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we earned 1,329 GEOs compared to 1,327 in the prior year.

On May 14, 2024, Alamos Gold released intercepts from underground exploration drilling from the mid-mine, revealing a new style of higher-grade gold mineralization in zones within the hanging wall of the 100%-owned Young-Davidson producing mine.

These zones are located between 10 and up to 200 meters south of existing infrastructure and reserves & resources, demonstrating production upside potential with grades well above the current reserve grade of 2.31 g/t Au. Highlight intercepts include: 7.41 g/t Au over 22 meters, 19.94 g/t Au over 4.55 meters, 5.24 g/t Au over 9 meters and 10.73 g/t Au over 15.55 meters.

A total of $12 million has been budgeted for exploration at Young-Davidson in 2024. As of December 31, 2023, Alamos estimates a mine life of approximately 15 years for Young-Davidson based on current underground mining rates.

Total assets were $1,740.8 million as at June 30, 2024, compared to $1,894.5 million as at December 31, 2023. Our asset base primarily consists of non-current assets such as mineral interests, which consist of our interests in streams and related interests and royalties. Our asset base also includes current assets, which generally includes cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and investments. The decrease in total assets from December 31, 2023 was driven by

16


impairment charges, combined with depletion of mineral interests, partially offset by acquisitions of assets, including prepaid gold interests and mineral interests.

Total liabilities were $40.0 million as at June 30, 2024, compared to $83.7 million as at December 31, 2023. The decrease in total liabilities is largely driven by net repayment of the Credit Facility. Total liabilities consist largely of debt, amounts payable and other liabilities, deferred tax liabilities and lease obligations. For information about the Credit Facility, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

Total shareholders’ equity as at June 30, 2024 was $1,700.9 million, compared to $1,810.7 million as at December 31, 2023. The decrease in shareholders’ equity largely reflects the net loss generated during the period.

Three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to three months ended June 30, 2023

Revenue was $63.6 million, a quarterly record, an increase of 21% from $52.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was largely driven by $5.7 million higher revenue due to higher gold prices, $4.7 million higher revenue due to higher silver prices, and $1.9 million increase from greater volume from streams and related interests, partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in revenue from lower volumes from royalties. Higher revenue from streams and related interests were driven by higher deliveries from Cerro Lindo and Northparkes, partially offset by lower deliveries from ATO. Lower revenue from royalties was largely due to lower attributable ounces from Fosterville, partially offset by higher attributable royalty ounces from Camino Rojo and Kensington, which began paying earlier this year.

18


The average market gold price and actual gold sales volume for our streams were $2,338 per ounce, a quarterly record, and 8,851 ounces, respectively, compared to $1,976 per ounce and 7,634 ounces, respectively, in the prior year. The average market silver price and actual silver sales volume were $28.84 per ounce and 875,241 ounces, respectively, compared to $24.13 per ounce and 661,345 ounces, respectively, in the prior year.

Cost of sales represents the price of metals acquired under our stream agreements, cost of sales related to prepaid gold interests, as well as the depletion expense for streams and royalties, both of which are calculated based on units of metal sold or attributable royalty ounces. Cost of sales was $24.7 million (including depletion) from streams and related interests and royalties, compared to $25.6 million (including depletion) from streams and related interests and royalties for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was largely due to cost of sales associated with lower attributable ounces from royalties as well as lower cost of sales from prepaid gold interests, partially offset by higher cost of sales driven by higher deliveries from the Cerro Lindo and Northparkes streams.

Gross profit was $38.9 million, an increase of 44% from $26.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was largely driven by higher realized gold and silver prices, combined with higher stream deliveries from Cerro Lindo and Northparkes, partially offset by lower gross profit from Fosterville due to lower attributable royalty ounces and lower deliveries from the Moss stream.

General administration costs were $6.5 million, compared to $5.2 million for the same period in the prior year. Higher costs for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were largely driven by the impact of a higher share price on share-based payments as well as fees relating to the renewal of our base shelf prospectus.

Business development costs were $1.4 million, compared to $0.8 million for the same period in the prior year. Business development costs represent ongoing business development costs incurred throughout the year including use of third-party service providers, net of costs capitalized, and costs reimbursed from our counterparties.

Impairment charges and expected credit losses of $141.8 million largely due to impairments and expected credit losses taken on the Nevada Copper stream and related interests ($104.1 million) as well as impairments and expected credit losses taken on the Moss stream and related interests ($33.2 million).  Refer to the Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments section for more detail.

The increase in the fair value of our prepaid gold interests for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was $3.4 million, compared to $0.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase is driven by a higher market gold price during the period.

The decrease in the fair value of investments represents the decrease in the market value of our equity investments.

Finance costs, net was $1.4 million, in line with the same period in the prior year. The finance costs largely reflect interest charges and standby fees on the Credit Facility, net of interest earned on cash and loan balances.

Income tax expense was $0.3 million, compared to $1.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in income tax expense was largely driven by tax recovery associated with the impairment charges as well as sales mix.

Net loss was $111.4 million compared to net earnings of $16.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The loss was largely driven by the impairment charges from Nevada Copper and Moss which was partially offset by a higher gross profit across the portfolio driven by higher metal prices as well as higher metal deliveries.

Six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to six months ended June 30, 2023

Revenue was $121.1 million, an increase of 18% from $102.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was largely driven by $9.1 million higher revenue due to higher gold prices, $6.2 million higher revenue due to higher silver prices, and $6.5 million from attributable royalty ounces from Kensington, partially offset by a $3.3 million decrease from lower volume from streams and related interests and $0.3 million decrease in revenue from lower attributable ounces from royalties. Lower volume from streams and related interests were driven by lower deliveries from ATO, Moss and El Mochito, partially offset by higher deliveries from Cerro Lindo and Northparkes. Lower volume from royalties was largely due to lower attributable royalty ounces from Fosterville, partially offset by higher attributable royalty ounces from Beta Hunt and Camino Rojo as well as attributable royalty ounces from Kensington, which began paying earlier this year.

The average market gold price and actual gold sales volume for our streams and related interests were $2,203 per ounce, and 17,328 ounces, respectively, compared to $1,932 per ounce and 13,817 ounces, respectively, in the prior year. The average market silver price and actual silver sales volume were $26.07 per ounce and 1.7 million ounces, respectively, compared to $23.31 per ounce and 1.6 million ounces, respectively, in the prior year.

Cost of sales represents the price of metals acquired under our stream agreements, cost of sales related to prepaid gold interests, as well as the depletion expense for streams and royalties, both of which are calculated based on units of metal sold or attributable royalty ounces. Cost of sales was $48.9 million (including depletion) from streams and related interests and royalties, compared to $53.0 million (including depletion) from streams and related interests and royalties for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was largely due to cost of sales associated with lower attributable ounces from royalties as well as lower cost of sales from prepaid interests and lower deliveries from the ATO, Moss and El Mochito streams, partially offset by higher cost of sales driven by higher deliveries from Cerro Lindo and Northparkes.

Gross profit was $72.2 million, an increase of 45% from $49.8 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was largely driven by higher stream deliveries, combined with higher realized gold and silver prices from Cerro Lindo and Northparkes and attributable royalty ounces from Kensington which began paying earlier this year, partially offset by lower deliveries from the Moss stream.

General administration costs were $12.0 million, compared to $10.9 million for the same period in the prior year. Higher costs for the six months ended June 30, 2024, were largely driven by the impact of a higher share price on share-based payments as well as fees relating to the renewal of our base shelf prospectus.

Business development costs were $2.2 million, in line with $2.4 million for the same period in the prior year. Business development costs represent ongoing business development costs incurred throughout the year including use of third-party service providers, net of costs capitalized, and costs reimbursed from our counterparties.

Impairment charges and expected credit losses of $148.0 million largely due to impairments and expected credit losses taken on the Nevada Copper stream and related interests ($104.1 million) as well as impairments and expected credit losses taken on the Moss stream and related interests ($40.1 million). Refer to the Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments section for more detail.

The increase in the fair value of our prepaid gold interests for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was $5.5 million, compared to a $2.8 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase is driven by a higher market gold price during the period.

The decrease in the fair value of investments represents the decrease in the market value of our equity investments.

20


Finance costs, net was $2.7 million, in line with the same period in the prior year. The finance costs largely reflect interest charges and standby fees on the Credit Facility, net of interest earned on cash and loan balances.

Income tax expense was $3.0 million, in line with the same period in the prior year. The decrease in income tax expense due to tax recovery associated with the impairment charges was offset by an increase in tax expense from the sales mix.

Net loss was $94.0 million compared to net earnings of $32.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The loss was largely driven by the impairment charges from Nevada Copper and Moss which was partially offset by a higher gross profit across the portfolio driven by higher metal prices as well as higher metal deliveries.

Operating cash flow was $49.4 million, a quarterly record, and an increase of 21% compared to $40.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was due to higher operating cash flow before working capital and taxes. Operating cash flow before working capital and taxes was $49.9 million, an increase of 15% from $43.2 million for the same period in the prior year.

21


partially offset by $16.4 million of proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants, and $5 million of drawdown from the Credit Facility.

Six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to six months ended June 30, 2023

Operating cash flow was $88.2 million an increase of 11% compared to $79.7 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was due to higher operating cash flow before working capital and taxes. Operating cash flow before working capital and taxes was $96.6 million, an increase of 18% from $81.8 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was largely driven by higher cash flows from streams, royalties and related interests, partially offset by higher general administration costs.

Net cash used in investing activities was $21.4 million, compared to $180.0 million for the same period in the prior year. Net cash used in investing activities in 2024 included $14.6 million of loans, $5.0 million for the acquisition of the Steppe Gold Prepaid Gold Interest, $2.8 million from the proceeds of disposal of investments and $2.0 million of funding for the Prieska royalty. Net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2023, included $146.0 million of net cash outflows pursuant to the Maverix Metals Inc. (“Maverix”) acquisition, $17.6 million of asset acquisitions mainly for a royalty on Agbaou, and $17.0 million of long-term loans, partially offset by $2.0 million of proceeds from the buy-back of the Eastern Borosi royalty by the operator.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at June 30, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents were $21.1 million, compared to $17.4 million as at December 31, 2023. Significant variations in the liquidity and capital resources during the period are explained in the ‘‘Condensed Statements of Cash Flows’’ section of this MD&A.

Our primary uses of capital are to finance operations, acquire new stream and royalty assets, general working capital and payment of dividends. Our objectives when managing capital are to ensure that we will continue to have enough liquidity to achieve our acquisition growth strategy, finance working capital requirements and provide returns to our shareholders. The timing of metal sales from inventory from our stream and related interests is based on commercial considerations, including our assessment of market conditions and our financial requirements. We believe our cash on hand, estimated cash flow from royalties and the sales of metal credits will be sufficient to fund our anticipated operating cash requirements, payment of dividends and share repurchases under the NCIB for the next 12 months and beyond.

Credit Facility

The Company currently has a Credit Facility of $500 million with an additional uncommitted accordion of up to $200 million for a total availability of up to $700 million, maturing on August 30, 2026. As at June 30, 2024, the Credit Facility balance was $20 million.

Finance costs relating to the Credit Facility for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $1.4 million, including interest charges, amortization of debt issue costs and standby fees, this compares to finance costs of $1.3 million for the

22


three months ended June 30, 2023. The net finance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $2.7 million which is in line with the same period in the prior year. The Credit Facility includes covenants that require us to maintain certain financial ratios, including leverage ratios, as well as certain non-financial requirements. As at June 30, 2024, all such ratios and requirements were met. The Credit Facility is used for general corporate purposes and investments in the mineral industry, including the acquisition of streams and related interests and royalties.

Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, we are and may be involved in disputes with other parties arising in the ordinary course of business that may result in litigation. If we are unable to resolve these disputes favorably, it may have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, cash flow and results of operations. We record a liability when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. We are not currently involved in any material legal proceedings.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

In the normal course of business, we enter into contracts that give rise to commitments for future minimum payments.

As of June 30, 2024, we had significant commitments to make per-ounce cash payments for precious metals and copper pursuant to the terms of the metals purchase and sale agreements and prepaid interests, as detailed in the following table:

Contingencies can be either possible assets or possible liabilities arising from past events which, by their nature, will be resolved only when one or more future events, not wholly within our control, occur or fail to occur. The assessment of such contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events. Refer to Note 18 of the Annual Financial Statements for further details on the contingencies.

We are not aware of any known trends, commitments (other than as described above), events or uncertainties that will materially affect the Company.

Risk and Risk Management

We are in the business of rational risk-taking in pursuit of value creation. Effective risk management is core to the attainment of those often-competing priorities. The ability to deliver on our vision and strategic objectives depends on our ability to understand and effectively respond to and mitigate the risks or uncertainties we face. For additional information about these risks see the “Risk and Risk Management” section of the Company’s most recent Annual Report and the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s most recent AIF, both of which are available from time to time on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. Also see the “Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Information” in this MD&A.

Disclosure Controls & Procedures

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that all material information relating to the Company is gathered and reported to senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, on a timely basis so that appropriate decisions can be made regarding public disclosure, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that the Company files or submits under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “U.S. Exchange Act”), and applicable Canadian securities laws is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and the Canadian securities regulatory

26


authorities. Management, under the oversight of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in National Instrument 52-109 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings and in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the U.S. Exchange Act) were effective as of June 30, 2024.

The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer do not expect that the disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that all relevant information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to senior management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls over financial reporting in order to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. The Company’s internal control framework was designed based on the criteria set forth in Internal  Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) of the Treadway Commission 2013 Framework.

There was no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as at June 30, 2024 using the COSO framework. Based on management’s assessment, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as at June 30, 2024.

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believe that any internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed, can have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

IFRS Accounting Standards Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates

Management has discussed the development and selection of our critical accounting estimates with the Audit & Risk Committee and Board of Directors, and the Audit & Risk Committee has reviewed the disclosure relating to such estimates in conjunction with its review of this MD&A. The accounting policies and methods we utilize determine how we report our financial condition and results of operations, and they may require management to make estimates or rely on assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Our material accounting policies are disclosed in Note 3 to the Annual Financial Statements, including a summary of current and future changes in accounting policies, which are included in Note 5 to the Annual Financial Statements.

27


Newly Enacted Excessive Interest and Financing Expenses Limitation (“EIFEL”) Rules

The Company is within the scope of the newly enacted Excessive Interest and Financing Expenses Limitation (“EIFEL”) rules, effective for taxation years beginning on or after October 1, 2023. Under the legislation, the Company and its Canadian subsidiaries are generally restricted on the deductibility of their respective interest and financing expense to the extent of an amount that is equal to a fixed percentage of the Company’s adjusted taxable income (as defined in the Federal Income Tax Act), subject to certain adjustments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no material restrictions on the deductibility of the interest and financing expense for the Company and its Canadian subsidiaries.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

Certain accounting estimates have been identified as being “critical” to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations because they require us to make subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain; or there is a reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions and estimates. Our significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions are disclosed in Note 4 to the Annual Financial Statements and in Note 3 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Impairment charges and expected credit losses

In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, management assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there are any indicators that the carrying value of mineral interests may not be recoverable or that an impairment loss previously recognized should be reversed or partially reversed.

Management applies significant judgment in assessing whether impairment indicators exist including, among others, significant adverse changes to (i) future production and operator reserve and resource estimates, (ii) current and forecast commodity prices, (iii) industry or economic trends, and (iv) other relevant operator information.

Impairments in the carrying value of each cash-generating unit (“CGU”) are measured and recorded to the extent that the carrying value of each CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal (“FVLCD”) and value-in-use (“VIU”), which is generally calculated using an estimate of future discounted cash flows. Impairment charges are included in the ‘‘Impairment charges and expected credit losses’’ line within the condensed interim consolidated statements of income (loss).

In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, loans receivable and receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, among others, the failure of a debtor to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, and the inability of a debtor to fulfil a repayment plan. Impairment losses on loans receivable and receivables are presented as impairment charges within the ‘‘Impairment charges and expected credit losses’’ line in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income (loss). Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the same line item.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, Triple Flag recorded the following impairment charges and expected credit losses in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income (loss):

1.Nevada Copper

Triple Flag has a 97.5% fixed ratio gold and silver stream on the Pumpkin Hollow underground mine, operated by Nevada Copper. As of December 31, 2023, Triple Flag also had the Tranche A-2 secured loan receivable from Nevada Copper of $11.8 million, which carried interest at SOFR plus an adjustment spread and a fixed margin. The loan matures on July 31, 2029, and can be repaid prior to maturity with no penalty.

As of June 30, 2024, Triple Flag had funded a total of $20.0 million to Nevada Copper, $15.1 million through the Tranche A-2 secured loan receivable and $4.9 million through unsecured funding. The funding was provided as part of the restart financing package for operations at the Pumpkin Hollow underground mine, and for working capital and for Chapter 11 preparation purposes.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, Nevada Copper experienced financial difficulties, including increased ramp-up costs associated with the underground mine, failure to obtain funding through a change of control transaction and failure to secure additional interim funding from key stakeholders. This resulted in Nevada Copper filing a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court of the District of Nevada on June 10, 2024.

Triple Flag identified the above as an indicator of impairment as of June 30, 2024. Management performed an impairment analysis for the Nevada Copper stream interest in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets (“IAS 36”), and for the loan receivables under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”).

Triple Flag considered a variety of factors to determine the recoverable amount of the Nevada Copper stream and the recoverability of the loan receivable, including expected cash flows to be recovered from the Chapter 11 process under various scenarios, the contractual terms of the stream agreement in a Chapter 11 process, and Triple Flag’s security and position in Nevada Copper’s creditor rankings relative to other secured creditors. Triple Flag concluded that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery of the loan receivables and determined that the recoverable amount of the Nevada Copper stream was nil as of June 30, 2024, resulting in an impairment charge of $104.1 million.

29


Triple Flag also has a 2.0% NSR royalty on the Pumpkin Hollow open pit project and a 2.0% NSR royalty on the Tedeboy exploration project. Management performed impairment analysis over these royalty interests by considering a variety of factors, including relevant production and commodity price scenarios, various production start date scenarios, and relevant contractual rights of the royalty agreements. Triple Flag concluded that the recoverable amount exceeded the carrying amount of $46.2 million, and as such, no impairment charge was recognized related to Triple Flag’s royalty interests in the condensed interim consolidated statement of income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

2.Elevation Gold

Triple Flag acquired the 100% silver stream on the Moss mine, operated by Elevation Gold, as part of the Maverix acquisition in January 2023. In conjunction with this transaction, Triple Flag also acquired a $10.2 million loan receivable from Elevation Gold, which had an outstanding balance receivable of $17.7 million as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, Triple Flag also had promissory and demand notes receivable from Elevation Gold of $6.5 million and recorded a provision for expected credit losses of $9.7 million against these loans. The loan receivable accrues interest at an interest rate of 10% per annum and is repayable on or before February 28, 2025.

As at March 31, 2024, Triple Flag had a total of $30.7 million loan receivable and promissory and demand notes receivable from Elevation Gold, and a total provision for expected credit losses of $16.6 million related to the loan receivables.

As at March 31, 2024, Triple Flag identified an indicator of impairment for its stream interest in the Moss mine. As a result, the Company performed an impairment assessment considering relevant production and commodity price scenarios. The Company concluded that the recoverable amount exceeded the carrying amount and as such, no impairment charge was recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, Elevation Gold continued to experience financial difficulty due to lower-than-expected production. As a result, Elevation Gold suspended royalty/finder fee payments and silver stream delivery obligations. This resulted in one royalty holder filing a claim in the Arizona State Superior Court against Elevation Gold for amounts owning pursuant to their royalty agreement. Elevation Gold reported on July 30, 2024, that it filed an application for creditor protection under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (“CCAA”) and will proceed with an interim cessation of active mining from the open pit at the Moss mine.

Triple Flag identified the above as an indicator of impairment as of June 30, 2024, and performed an impairment analysis for the Elevation Gold stream interest in accordance with IAS 36, and for the loan receivables and promissory and demand notes under IFRS 9.

Triple Flag considered a variety of factors to determine the recoverable amount of the Elevation Gold stream and the recoverability of the loan receivable and promissory and demand notes, including cash flows expected to be recovered from the CCAA process under various scenarios, as well as Triple Flag’s security and creditor ranking. Triple Flag concluded that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery of the loan receivable and promissory and demand notes and determined that the recoverable amount of the Elevation Gold stream was nil as of June 30, 2024, resulting in a total impairment and expected credit loss charge of $40.1 million.

Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures

Gold Equivalent Ounces (“GEOs”)

GEOs are a non-IFRS measure that is based on stream and royalty interests and calculated on a quarterly basis by dividing all revenue from such interests for the quarter by the average gold price during such quarter. The gold price is determined based on the LBMA PM fix. For periods longer than one quarter, GEOs are summed for each quarter in the period. Management uses this measure internally to evaluate our underlying operating performance across our stream and royalty portfolio for the reporting periods presented and to assist with the planning and forecasting of future operating results. GEOs are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized definition under IFRS Accounting Standards and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. The measures are not necessarily indicative of gross profit or operating cash flow as determined under IFRS Accounting Standards. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. The following table reconciles GEOs to revenue, the most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measure:

Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share

Adjusted net earnings is a non-IFRS financial measure, which excludes the following from net earnings:

impairment charges, write-downs, and reversals, including expected credit losses;
gain/loss on sale or disposition of assets/mineral interests;
foreign currency translation gains/losses;
increase/decrease in fair value of investments;
non-recurring charges; and
impact of income taxes on these items.

Management uses this measure internally to evaluate our underlying operating performance for the reporting periods presented and to assist with the planning and forecasting of future operating results. Management believes that adjusted net earnings is a useful measure of our performance because impairment charges, write-downs, and reversals, including expected credit losses, gain/loss on sale or disposition of assets/mineral interests, foreign currency translation gains/losses, increase/decrease in fair value of investments, and non-recurring charges do not reflect the underlying operating performance of our core business and are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. The tax effect is also excluded to reconcile the amounts on a post-tax basis, consistent with net earnings. Management’s internal budgets and forecasts and public guidance do not reflect the types of items we adjust for. Consequently, the presentation of adjusted net earnings enables users to better understand the underlying operating performance of our core business through the eyes of management. Management periodically evaluates the components of adjusted net earnings based on an internal assessment of performance measures that are useful for evaluating the operating performance of our business and a review of the non-IFRS measures used by industry analysts and other streaming and royalty companies. Adjusted net earnings is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized definition under IFRS Accounting Standards and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. The measures are not necessarily indicative of

gross profit or operating cash flow as determined under IFRS Accounting Standards. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. The following table reconciles adjusted net earnings to net earnings, the most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measure.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is a non-IFRS measure that deducts acquisition of other assets (excluding acquisition of investments and prepaid gold interests or mineral interests) from operating cash flow. Management believes this to be a useful indicator of our ability to operate without reliance on additional borrowing or usage of existing cash. Free cash flow is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized definition under IFRS Accounting Standards and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. The measure is not necessarily indicative of operating profit or operating cash flow as determined under IFRS Accounting Standards. Other companies may calculate this measure differently.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure, which excludes the following from net earnings:

income tax expense;
finance costs, net;
depletion and amortization;
impairment charges, write-downs, and reversals, including expected credit losses;
gain/loss on sale or disposition of assets/mineral interests;
foreign currency translation gains/losses;
increase/decrease in fair value of investments;
non-cash cost of sales related to prepaid gold interests; and
non-recurring charges

Management believes that adjusted EBITDA is a valuable indicator of our ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations and fund acquisitions. Management uses adjusted EBITDA for this purpose. Adjusted EBITDA is also frequently used by investors and analysts for valuation purposes, whereby adjusted EBITDA is multiplied by a factor or ‘‘multiple’’ that is based on an observed or inferred relationship between adjusted EBITDA and market values to determine the approximate total enterprise value of a company.

In addition to excluding income tax expense, finance costs net, and depletion and amortization, adjusted EBITDA also removes the effect of impairment charges, write-downs, and reversals, including expected credit losses, gain/loss on sale or disposition of assets/mineral interests, foreign currency translation gains/losses, increase/decrease in fair value of investments, non-cash cost of sales related to prepaid gold interests and non-recurring charges. We believe these items provide a greater level of consistency with the adjusting items included in our adjusted net earnings reconciliation. We believe this additional information will assist analysts, investors and our shareholders to better understand our ability to generate liquidity from operating cash flow, by excluding these amounts from the calculation as they are not indicative of the performance of our core business and not necessarily reflective of the underlying operating results for the periods presented.

Adjusted EBITDA is intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and does not have any standardized definition under IFRS Accounting Standards and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily indicative of operating profit or operating cash flow as determined under IFRS Accounting Standards. Other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently. The following table reconciles adjusted EBITDA to net earnings, the most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measure.

Gross Profit Margin and Asset Margin

Gross profit margin is an IFRS Accounting Standards financial measure which we define as gross profit divided by revenue. Asset margin is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define by taking gross profit and adding back depletion and non-cash cost of sales related to prepaid gold interests and dividing by revenue. We use gross profit margin to assess profitability of our metal sales and asset margin to evaluate our performance in increasing revenue, containing costs and providing a useful comparison to our peers. Asset margin is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized definition under IFRS Accounting Standards and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.

Forward-looking information may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “targets”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “outlook”, “forecasts”, “projection”, “prospects”, “strategy”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “believes” or variations of such words and phrases or terminology which states that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might”, “will”, “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. Forward-looking information in this MD&A includes, but is not limited to, statements with respect to the Company’s annual guidance, operational and corporate developments for the Company, developments in respect of the Company’s portfolio of royalties and streams and related interests and those developments at certain of the mines, projects or properties that underlie the Company’s interests and our assessments of, and expectations for, future periods (including, but not limited to, the long-term production outlook for GEOs). Our assessments of and expectations for future periods described in this MD&A, including our future financial outlook and anticipated events or results, business, financial position, business strategy, growth plans, strategies, budgets, operations, financial results, taxes, dividend policy, plans and objectives, are considered forward-looking information. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, intentions, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances contain forward-looking information. Statements containing forward-looking information are not historical facts but instead represent management’s expectations, estimates and projections regarding possible future events or circumstances.

The forward-looking information included in this MD&A is based on our opinions, estimates and assumptions in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that we currently believe are appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances. The forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are also based upon the ongoing operation of the properties in which we hold a stream, royalty or other similar interest by the owners or operators of such properties in a manner consistent with past practice; the accuracy of public statements and disclosures made by the owners or operators of such underlying properties; and the accuracy of publicly disclosed expectations for the development of underlying properties that are not yet in production. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, the following: assumptions in respect of current and future market conditions and the execution of our business strategies; that operations, or ramp-up where applicable, at properties in which we hold a royalty, stream or other interest continue without further interruption through the period; and the absence of any other factors that could cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated, intended or implied. Despite a careful process to prepare and review the forward-looking information, there can be no assurance that the underlying opinions, estimates and assumptions will prove to be correct. Forward-looking information is also subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, those set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in our most recently filed AIF, which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. In addition, we note that Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability and inferred resources are considered too geologically speculative for the application of economic considerations.

Although we have attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking information, there may be other risk factors not presently known to us or that we presently believe are not material that could also cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking information. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information, which speaks only as of the date made. The forward-looking information contained in this MD&A represents our expectations as of the date of this MD&A and is subject to change after such date. We disclaim any intention or obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking information whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable securities laws. All of the forward-looking information contained in this MD&A is expressly qualified by the foregoing cautionary statements.

Cautionary Statement to U.S. Investors

Information contained or referenced in this MD&A or in the documents referenced herein concerning the properties, technical information and operations of Triple Flag has been prepared in accordance with requirements and standards under Canadian securities laws, which differ from the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K (“S-K 1300”). Because the Company is eligible for the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System adopted by the SEC and Canadian Securities Administrators, Triple Flag is not required to present disclosure regarding its mineral properties in compliance with S-K 1300. Accordingly, certain information contained in this MD&A may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC.

Technical and Third-Party Information

Triple Flag does not own, develop or mine the underlying properties on which it holds stream or royalty interests. As a royalty or stream holder, Triple Flag has limited, if any, access to properties included in its asset portfolio. As a result, Triple Flag is dependent on the owners or operators of the properties and their qualified persons to provide information to Triple Flag or on publicly available information to prepare disclosure pertaining to properties and operations on the properties on which Triple Flag holds stream, royalty or other similar interests. Triple Flag generally has limited or no ability to independently verify such information. Although Triple Flag does not believe that such information is inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect, there can be no assurance that such third-party information is complete or accurate.
