(#) Labrador Iron Ore Royalty Corporation dividends received

 

 

Base and battery metals (primarily copper) revenue of $4.2 million for the quarter compares to $5.5 million reported for the comparable quarter of 2022 due primarily to the scheduled closure of the 777 mine in Q2 of 2022 and lower copper stream deliveries from Chapada. The Corporation recognized a small royalty from the ramp up of Groto do Cirilo during the quarter marking its first lithium royalty revenue.

Potash portfolio revenue during the quarter was $3.9 million, which compares to $10.3 million in the comparable quarter of 2022, reflecting significantly lower average realized prices.

Iron ore royalty revenue in the form of dividends from Labrador Iron Ore Royalty Corp., which serves as a pass-through vehicle for royalty income and equity dividends related to the operations of Iron Ore Company of Canada (IOC), was $3.6 million, as compared with Q3 2022 iron ore revenue of $3.7 million.

Renewable energy royalty revenue of $2.6 million compares to $2.1 million recorded in the same period last year.

Thermal coal royalty revenue of $2.0 million was received in Q3 2023 compared to $3.8 million during the comparable quarter of last year reflecting lower attributable production volumes at the Genesee Mine that were partially offset by a higher inflation-linked royalty rate. The operator of the Genesee power plant continues to invest in a conversion to natural gas-based fuelling and plans to bring an end to coal usage by early next year.

The Corporation's preliminary cost of sales on the Chapada copper stream, excluding any depletion for the quarter, is $1.1 million compared to $1.3 million in the prior year quarter. All other royalty assets owned by the Corporation have no associated cost of sales.

Non‐GAAP Financial Measures
1.		Management uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: attributable revenue, attributable royalty revenue, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA), adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted net earnings (loss). Management uses these measures to monitor the financial performance of the Corporation and its operating segments and believes these measures enable investors and analysts to compare the Corporation’s financial performance with its competitors and/or evaluate the results of its underlying business. These measures are intended to provide additional information, not to replace International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) measures, and do not have a standard definition under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. As these measures do not have a standardized meaning, they may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies. Further information on the composition and usefulness of each non-GAAP financial measure, including reconciliation to their most directly comparable IFRS measures, is included in the non-GAAP financial measures section of our MD&A.
