1. Nature of activities
Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd and its subsidiaries (together, "Osisko" or the "Company") are engaged in the business of acquiring and managing royalties, streams and similar interests on precious metals and other commodities that fit the Company's risk/reward objectives. Osisko is a public company domiciled in the Province of Québec, Canada, whose shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange and is constituted under the Business Corporations Act (Québec). The address of its registered office is 1100, avenue des Canadiens-de-Montréal, Suite 300, Montréal, Québec. The Company owns a portfolio of royalties, streams, offtakes, options on royalty/stream financings and exclusive rights to participate in future royalty/stream financings on various projects. The Company's main asset is a 3-5% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty on the Canadian Malartic Complex, located in Québec, Canada.
2. Basis of presentation
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements under IAS 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 years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB. The accounting policies, methods of computation and presentation applied in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those of the previous financial year.
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are currently effective requirements or forthcoming requirements. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's current or future reporting periods and are therefore not discussed herein, with the exception of the amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (Non-current Liabilities with Covenants), the issuance of IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, and the amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, which are discussed below.
Amendments - IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (Non-current Liabilities with Covenants)
Amendments made to IAS 1 in 2020 and 2022 clarified that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is affected by the entity's expectations or events after the reporting date (e.g. the receipt of a waiver or a breach of covenant).
Covenants of loan arrangements will not affect classification of a liability as current or non-current at the reporting date if the entity must only comply with the covenants after the reporting date. However, if the entity must comply with a covenant either before or at the reporting date, this will affect the classification as current or non-current even if the covenant is only tested for compliance after the reporting date.
The amendments require disclosures if an entity classifies a liability as non-current and that liability is subject to covenants that the entity must comply with within 12 months of the reporting date. The disclosures include:
- the carrying amount of the liability;
- information about the covenants; and
- facts and circumstances, if any, that indicate that the entity may have difficulty complying with the covenants.
The amendments also clarify what IAS 1 means when it refers to the "settlement" of a liability. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the transfer of the entity's own equity instrument can only be ignored for the purpose of classifying the liability as current or non-current if the entity classifies the option as an equity instrument. However, conversion options that are classified as a liability must be considered when determining the current/non-current classification of a convertible note.
The amendments must be applied retrospectively in accordance with the normal requirements in IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. These amendments did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
2. Basis of presentation (continued)
IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, the new standard on presentation and disclosure in financial statements, with a focus on updates to the statement of profit or loss. IFRS 18 was issued in response to investors' concerns about the comparability and transparency of entities' performance reporting. The new requirements introduced in IFRS 18 will help to achieve comparability of the financial performance of similar entities, especially related to how 'operating profit or loss' is defined. The new disclosures required for some management-defined performance measures will also enhance transparency. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to:
- the structure of the statement of profit or loss;
- required disclosures in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity's financial statements (that is, management-defined performance measures); and
- enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes in general.
IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1; many of the other existing principles in IAS 1 are retained, with limited changes. IFRS 18 will not impact the recognition or measurement of items in the financial statements, but it might change what an entity reports as its 'operating profit or loss'. IFRS 18 will apply for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027 and also applies to comparative information. Management has not yet evaluated the impact that this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Amendments - IFRS 9, Financial Instruments and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures
On May 30, 2024, the IASB issued targeted amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, which respond to recent questions arising in practice. The amendments were issued to:
- clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system;
- clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest criterion;
- add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows; and
- update disclosures for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The new requirements will apply from January 1, 2026, with early application permitted. Management has not yet evaluated the impact that this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Acquisition - Cascabel stream
On July 15, 2024, the Company announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Osisko Bermuda Limited ("Osisko Bermuda"), in partnership with Franco-Nevada (Barbados) Corporation ("FNB"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation, entered into a definitive Purchase and Sale Agreement (Gold) (the "Gold Stream") with SolGold plc and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, "SolGold"), with reference to gold production from SolGold's 100%-owned Cascabel copper-gold project located in Ecuador ("Cascabel").
Pursuant to the terms of the Gold Stream, Osisko Bermuda and FNB (collectively, the "Stream Purchasers") will make initial deposits totaling US$100 million to SolGold in three equal tranches to fund the Cascabel's pre-construction costs (the "Pre-Construction Deposit"). The first tranche of the Pre-Construction Deposit was funded at closing, with the two subsequent tranches subject to achievement of key development milestones. Thereafter, the Stream Purchasers will make additional deposits totaling US$650 million to SolGold to fund construction costs once Cascabel is fully financed and further derisked (the "Construction Deposit", and together with the Pre-Construction Deposit, the "Deposit").
7. Royalty, stream and other interests (continued)
Acquisition - Cascabel stream (continued)
Osisko Bermuda will provide 30% of the Deposit (US$225 million, comprised of US$30 million in Pre-Construction Deposit and US$195 million in Construction Deposit) in exchange for a 30% interest in the Gold Stream and FNB will provide 70% of the Deposit in exchange for a 70% interest in the Gold Stream.
The deposit is payable as follows:
- US$10 million paid at closing;
- US$10 million on achievement of operational milestones, including execution of the amended investment protection agreement, completion of geotechnical drilling and finalization of the tailings storage facility design sufficient for a minimum of 10 years of operation;
- US$10 million on achievement of operational milestones, including submission of all final permit applications for the construction and operation of the project; and
- US$195 million payable pro rata drawdowns with construction facility.
Osisko Bermuda will purchase refined gold equal to 6% of the contained gold produced from Cascabel until 225,000 ounces of gold have been delivered to it, and 3.6% thereafter for the remaining life of the mine. Osisko Bermuda will make ongoing cash payments for refined gold delivered equal to 20% of the spot price of gold at the time of delivery.
Impairment - Eagle Gold mine royalty interest
On June 24, 2024, Victoria Gold Corp. ("Victoria") announced that the heap leach facility at the Eagle Gold mine experienced a failure. Operations were suspended while the site operations team, along with management and the Yukon government officials continued to assess the situation and gathered information. Victoria confirmed that there had been some damage to infrastructure and a portion of the failure had left containment. Subsequently, on July 4, 2024, Victoria advised that it had received notices of default from its lenders under the credit agreement dated December 18, 2020. A default under the Eagle Royalty Agreement dated April 13, 2018 was also triggered and, consequently, Osisko provided a notice of default to Victoria on July 4, 2024. On July 12, 2024 and July 30, 2024, Victoria reported that there can be no assurance that the company will have the financial resources necessary to repair the damage to the equipment and facilities, to remediate the impacts caused by the incident or to restart production.
These elements were considered indicators of impairment, among other facts and circumstances, and, accordingly, management performed an impairment assessment on its Eagle Gold mine royalty interest as at June 30, 2024. The recoverable amount, in accordance with IAS 36, Impairment of Assets, was estimated to be $nil at June 30, 2024 based on management's assessment of the facts and circumstances which include, amongst others, the complete halt of production, the social and political environment surrounding the incident, the capital requirements related to mitigation and site restoration, and the ability to restart operations with authorization from the Yukon Director of Mineral Resources or with the necessary financial resources. As a result, the Company recognized a full impairment loss of $67.8 million ($49.9 million, net of income taxes) on June 30, 2024.
Subsequently, on August 14, 2024, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. as receiver and manager, at the direction of the Yukon Government and under the supervision of the court, of all the assets, undertakings and properties of Victoria, which properties include but is not limited to the Eagle Gold mine.
In the event that there is a change in the facts and circumstances surrounding the situation at the Eagle Gold mine, and there is a restart of operations and resumption of precious metal deliveries to Osisko under its royalty agreement, a re-assessment of the recoverable amount of the Eagle Gold mine royalty interest will be performed at that time, which may lead to a reversal of part or all of the impairment loss that has been recognized.

The options, when granted, are accounted for at their fair value determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the vesting period and on the following weighted average assumptions:
| | Nine months ended September 30, 2024 | | | Year ended December 31, 2023 | |
Dividend per share | | 1.3% | | | 1.5% | |

Weighted average share price | $ | 18.72 | | $ | 18.08 | |
Weighted average fair value of options granted | $ | 5.65 | | $ | 5.88 | |
The expected volatility was estimated using Osisko's historical data from the date of grant and for a period corresponding to the expected life of the options. Share options are exercisable at the closing market price of the common shares of the Company on the day prior to their grant.
The fair value of the share options is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the total share-based compensation related to share options amounted to $0.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively ($1.9 million and $3.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively).

(i) Unless otherwise decided by the Board of Directors of the Company, the DSU vest the day prior to the next annual general meeting and are payable in common shares, cash or a combination of common shares and cash, at the sole discretion of the Company, to each non-executive director when he or she leaves the board or is not re-elected. The accounting value of the payout is determined by multiplying the number of DSU expected to vest at the settlement date by the closing price of the Company's shares on the day prior to the grant date. The fair value is recognized over the vesting period. On the settlement date, one common share will be issued for each DSU, after deducting any income taxes payable on the benefit earned by the director that must be remitted by the Company to the tax authorities. The DSU granted in the first nine months of 2024 have a weighted average value of $21.84 per DSU (the DSU granted during the first nine months of 2023 had a weighted average value of $21.21 per DSU).
(ii) One half of the RSU is time-based (the "time-based RSU") and the other half is time-based and depends on the achievement of certain performance measures (the "performance-based RSU"). The time-based RSU granted prior to 2024 vest and are payable three years after the grant date. The time-based RSU granted in 2024 vest and are payable in three equal tranches at each anniversary of the grant date. The performance-based RSU vest and are payable three years after the grant date. The RSU are payable in common shares, cash or a combination of common shares and cash, at the sole discretion of the Company. The accounting value of the payout is determined by multiplying the number of RSU expected to vest at the settlement date by the closing price of the Company's shares on the day prior to the grant date. The fair value is recognized over the vesting period and is adjusted for the performance-based components, when applicable. On the settlement date, one common share is issued for each vested RSU, after deducting any income taxes payable on the benefit earned by the employee that must be remitted by Osisko to the tax authorities. The RSU granted in the first nine months of 2024 have a weighted average value of $18.79 per RSU the (RSU granted during the first nine months of 2023 had a weighted average value of $17.87 per RSU).
The total share-based compensation expense related to the DSU and RSU plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 amounted to $1.7 million and $4.8 million, respectively ($2.1 million and $5.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively).
Based on the closing price of the common shares at September 30, 2024 ($25.05), and considering a marginal income tax rate of 53.3%, the estimated amount that Osisko is expected to transfer to the tax authorities to settle the employees' tax obligations related to the vested DSU and RSU to be settled over time in equity amounts to $4.9 million ($3.7 million as at December 31, 2023) and to $15.8 million based on all DSU and RSU outstanding ($11.4 million as at December 31, 2023).

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, 53,200 and 327,300 share options, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect was anti-dilutive. As a result of the net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2023, all potentially dilutive common shares are deemed to be antidilutive for the period and thus diluted net loss per share is equal to the basic net loss per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 0.7 million share options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect was anti-dilutive.

14. Fair value of financial instruments (continued)
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, there were no transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, common shares having a fair value of $3.0 million were transferred from Level 3 to Level 1 as these common shares began trading on a recognized stock exchange.
The following table presents the changes in the Level 3 investments (comprised of warrants and convertible instruments) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:
| | | 2024 | | | 2023 | |

Balance - September 30 | | 9,130 | | | 16,316 | |
| | | | | | |
| (i) Recognized in the consolidated statements of income (loss) under other (losses) gains, net. | |
The fair value of the financial instruments classified as Level 3 depends on the nature of the financial instruments.
The fair value of the warrants on equity securities and the convertible instruments of publicly traded mining exploration and development companies, classified as Level 3, is determined using directly or indirectly the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The main non-observable input used in the model is the expected volatility. An increase/decrease in the expected volatility used in the models of 10% would have resulted in an insignificant variation of the fair value of the warrants and convertible instruments as at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Financial instruments not measured at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets
Financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are represented by cash, short-term investments, revenues receivable from royalty, stream and other interests, other receivables, non-current notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long-term debt. The fair values of cash, short-term investments, revenues receivable from royalty, stream and other interests, other receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of the liability under the revolving credit facility approximates its fair value given that the credit spread is similar to the credit spread the Company would obtain under similar conditions at the reporting date. The fair values of the non-current notes approximate their carrying values as there were no significant changes in economic and risk parameters or assumptions related to the instruments since these financial instruments have been fully provisioned.
15. Segment disclosure
