Gold Royalty Corp.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited, expressed in thousands of United States dollars unless otherwise stated)

 

1. Corporate information

 

Gold Royalty Corp. (“GRC” or the “Company”) is a company incorporated in Canada on June 23, 2020 and domiciled in Canada. GRC is principally engaged in acquiring gold-focused royalty and mineral stream interests. The registered office of the Company is located at 1000 Cathedral Place, 925 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3L2, Canada. The principal address of the Company is located at 1030 West Georgia Street, Suite 1830, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 2Y3, Canada.

 

The Company was a subsidiary of GoldMining Inc. (“GoldMining”) until the Company completed its initial public offering (the “IPO”) on March 11, 2021. The Company’s common shares (the “GRC Shares”) and common share purchase warrants are listed on the NYSE American under the symbols “GROY” and “GROY.WS”, respectively.

 

On August 23, 2021, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding common shares of Ely Gold Royalties Inc. (“Ely”) which has been consolidated from the date of acquisition.

 

On November 4, 2021, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Golden Valley Mines and Royalties Ltd. (“Golden Valley”) and Abitibi Royalties Inc (“Abitibi”) which have both been consolidated from the date of acquisition.

 

2. Basis of preparation and Significant accounting policies

 

2.1 Statement of compliance

 

The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements including International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2021.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) on August 15, 2022.

 

2.2 Basis of presentation

 

The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“U.S. dollar”, “$” or “dollar”). All values are rounded to the nearest thousand except where otherwise indicated.

 

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2021. The Company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of its results for a full year.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Gold Royalty Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, being Gold Royalty U.S. Corp., Ely Gold Royalties Inc., 1320505 B.C. Ltd., Nevada Select Royalty, Inc., Ren Royalties LLC, VEK Associates, DHI Minerals (U.S.) Ltd, Golden Valley Mines and Royalties Ltd., Abitibi Royalties Inc., Calone Mining Ltd. and Abitibi Royalties (USA) Inc. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date the Company obtained control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that its control ceases. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

 

All inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated through the consolidation process.

2. Basis of preparation and Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

2.3 Basis of consolidation

 

The accounts of all subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. The functional currency of the Company and all its subsidiaries is the United States dollar. Prior to the completion of the Company’s IPO on March 11, 2021, the functional currency of GRC was the Canadian dollar. For the periods prior to the change in functional currency, the results of GRC, the parent entity, were translated from Canadian dollars using period end exchange rate for its assets and liabilities and average exchange rates for income and expenses. All resulting exchange differences noted were recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

3. Acquisitions of Golden Valley and Abitibi

 

On November 5, 2021, the Company completed business combinations with Golden Valley and Abitibi by way of statutory plans of arrangement (the “Arrangements”). Pursuant to the Arrangements, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding Golden Valley and Abitibi common shares, whereby:

GRC issued 2.1417 GRC Shares to Golden Valley shareholders for each Golden Valley common share; and
GRC issued 4.6119 GRC Shares to Abitibi shareholders for each Abitibi common share.

The total consideration paid by the Company to holders of Golden Valley and Abitibi shares on the closing date consisted of an aggregate of 61,104,200 GRC Shares. Additionally, pursuant to the Golden Valley Arrangement, each of its 1,166,389 options that were outstanding immediately prior to the effective time were exchanged for 2,498,045 options to purchase GRC Shares.

Based on the GRC share price, GRC Shares issued, and the fair value of GRC share options issued in exchange for Golden Valley options, the total consideration for the acquisition was $305,957. The Company also incurred consulting fees payable to financial advisors of approximately $3,000. On the closing date, the total amount of cash and marketable securities acquired by the Company was $34,922. The Company began consolidating the operating results, cash flows and net assets of Golden Valley and Abitibi beginning on November 5, 2021.

On completion of the transaction, the Company acquired royalties, included, among other things:

Four royalties (1.5% net smelter return (“NSR”), 2% NSR, 3% NSR, 15% Net Profit Interest (“NPI”)) on portions of the Canadian Malartic Property; and
A royalty (2.5% to 4.0% NSR) on Cheechoo, proximate to Newmont Corporation’s (“Newmont”) Éléonore Mine in Québec.

The fair value of short-term investments and investment in associates was estimated based on quoted market prices. The fair value of derivative liabilities was estimated based on quoted market prices of the put and call option contracts (Note 11). The fair values of producing and development stage royalties were estimated using discounted cash flow models. Expected future cash flows used to estimate the fair value of these royalties are based on estimates of future gold prices, projected future production, estimated quantities of mineral reserves and resources, expected future production costs, and discount rates at the closing date. The fair values of exploration stage royalties were estimated using a market approach based on comparable market transactions. The fair value of receivables and payables are equal to their gross contractual amounts at the closing date. The fair value of the option has been estimated based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 0.40%, expected life of 4.1 years, expected volatility of 37%, expected dividend yield of 0% and estimated forfeiture rate of 0%. Any changes to the preliminary fair value estimates for these assets will also impact deferred income taxes.

 

The Company’s preliminary purchase accounting was based upon preliminary valuations performed to determine the fair value of the net assets as of the acquisition date and is subject to adjustments for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition to reflect final valuations. The Company is currently in the process of completing its valuation work related to the estimation of the fair values of royalty interests and exploration and evaluation assets. The final valuations of these assets could have a material impact on the preliminary purchase accounting disclosed above.

 

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, Golden Valley and Abitibi contributed revenue of $746 and $909, respectively, and net loss of $2,487 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and net profit of $1,150 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 to the Company’s financial performance since the date of acquisition, respectively.

 

If the acquisitions had occurred on October 1, 2021, consolidated pro forma revenue and net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 would have been $3,078, and consolidated pro forma net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 would have been $18,214, respectively. The pro forma net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 included transaction costs and change of control payments related to the acquisitions of Golden Valley and Abitibi by the Company of approximately $11,300.

12.2 Restricted Shares

 

On October 19, 2020, the Company issued 1,500,000 restricted shares (the “Restricted Shares”) to certain officers and directors of the Company and GoldMining, the terms of which were subsequently amended on January 10, 2021. The Restricted Shares are subject to restrictions that, among other things, prohibit the transfer thereof until certain performance conditions are met. In addition, if such conditions are not met within applicable periods, the restricted shares will be deemed forfeited and surrendered by the holder thereof to the Company without the requirement of any further consideration. The performance conditions are as follows:

 

(1)
with respect to one-third of the Restricted Shares awarded to the holder, if the Company’s initial public offering or any liquidity event (being any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company or distribution of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets among shareholders or a change of control transaction) occurs that values the Company at a minimum of $50,000,000 (condition met);

 

(2)
with respect to one-third of the Restricted Shares awarded to the holder, if the Company receives $1,000,000 of royalty payments under any of the Company’s royalty interests prior to October 19, 2023 (condition met); and

 

(3)
with respect to one-third of the Restricted Shares awarded to the holder, if the holder continues to be a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company or an entity that is under common control with the Company for a period of one year after the initial public offering is completed (condition met).

 

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $Nil (2021: $43) and $276 (2021: $328) related to the Restricted Shares, respectively.

The RSUs vest in three equal annual instalments during the recipient’s continual service with the Company.

The compensation expense is calculated based on the fair value of each RSU as determined by the closing value of GRC Shares at the date of the grant. The Company recognizes compensation expense over the vesting period of the RSUs.

 

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $114 and $225 related to the RSUs, respectively.

12.4 Reserves (continued)

 

The fair value of the 552,031 share options granted during the nine months ended June 30, 2022 was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

Risk-free interest rate

Expected volatility

 

 

47.12

%

Expected dividend yield

 

 

0.15

%

Estimated forfeiture rate

 

 

3.67

%

 

As there is insufficient trading history of the Company's common shares prior to the date of grant, the expected volatility is based on the historical share price volatility of a group of comparable companies in the sector in which the Company operates over a period similar to the expected life of the share options.

14. Financial instruments

 

The Company’s financial assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, lease obligation, bank loan and derivative liabilities.

 

The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing fair value of financial instruments:

 

Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs have a significant effect on the recorded fair value which are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

 

The Company’s short and long-term investments are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently revalued to their fair market value at each period end based on inputs such as equity prices. The Company’s short-term investments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified as level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of short-term investments is based on the quoted market price of the short-term investments. The fair value of the long-term investment is classified as Level 3 and measured based on data such as the price paid by arm’s length parties in a recent transaction. The fair value of the derivative liabilities related to Ely Warrants is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The fair value of derivative warrants to purchase shares in the Monarch and Val-d’Or were initially determined on a residual value basis and subsequently measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The significant inputs used are readily available in public markets and therefore have been classified as Level 2. Inputs used in the Black-Scholes model for derivative liabilities include risk-free interest rate, volatility, and dividend yield. The fair value of the derivative liabilities related to the put and call option contracts is based on the quoted market price of these contracts.

 

The fair value of the Company’s other financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short term to maturity.

 

14.1 Financial risk management objectives and policies

 

The financial risk arising from the Company’s operations are credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, equity price risk and interest rate risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations and all transactions undertaken are to support the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The risks associated with financial instruments and the policies on how the Company mitigates these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner.

 

14.2 Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third-party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk for the Company is primarily associated with the Company’s bank balances and accounts receivable. The Company mitigates credit risk associated with its bank balance by holding cash with large, reputable financial institutions. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is equivalent to the carrying value of its cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

14. Financial instruments (continued)

 

14.3 Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or manage its obligations associated with financial liabilities. To manage liquidity risk, the Company closely monitors its liquidity position and ensures it has adequate sources of funding to finance its projects and operations. The Company’s working capital (current assets less current liabilities) as at June 30, 2022 was $6,326 compared to $6,380 as at September 30, 2021. The Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities and bank loan are expected to be realized or settled, respectively, within a one-year period.

 

The Company’s future profitability will be dependent on the royalty income to be received from mine operators. Royalties are based on a percentage of the minerals or the products produced, or revenue or profits generated from the property which is typically dependent on the prices of the minerals the property operators are able to realize. Mineral prices are affected by numerous factors such as interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation and global and regional supply and demand. The Company has the required liquidity to meet its obligations and to finance its planned activities.

 

14.4 Currency risk

 

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk when the Company undertakes transactions and holds assets and liabilities in currencies other than its functional currency. The Company currently does not engage in foreign exchange currency hedging. The currency risk on the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and derivative liabilities are minimal.

 

14.5 Equity price risk

 

The Company is exposed to equity price risk associated with its investment in other mining companies. The Company’s short-term investments consisting of common shares are exposed to significant equity price risk due to the potentially volatile and speculative nature of the businesses in which the investments are held. Based on the Company’s short-term investments held as at June 30, 2022, a 10% change in the market price of these investments would have an impact of approximately $808 on net loss.

 

Interest rate risk

 

The Company's exposure to interest rate risk arises from the impact of interest rates on its cash and secured revolving credit facility, which bear interest at fixed or variable rates. The interest rate risks on the Company's cash balances are minimal. The Company's secured revolving credit facility bears interest at a rate determined by reference to the U.S. dollar Base Rate plus a margin of 3.00% or Adjusted Term SOFR plus a margin of 4.00%, as applicable and an increase (decrease) of 10 basis point in the applicable rate of interest would not have a significant impact on the net loss for nine months ended June 30, 2022. The Company's lease liability is determined using the interest rate implicit in the lease and an increase (decrease) of 10 basis point would not have a significant impact on the net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2022.
