ROYAL GOLD, INC. | INVESTOR UPDATE | APRIL 2021 16 Non-GAAP Measures
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Certain Other Measures Overview of non-GAAP financial measures:
Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because the presentation of these non- GAAP financial measures varies among companies, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
We have provided below reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors for analysis of our business. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to compare period-over-period performance on a consistent basis and when planning and forecasting for future periods. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are used by professional research analysts and others in the valuation, comparison and investment recommendations of companies in our industry. Many investors use the published research reports of these professional research analysts and others in making investment decisions. The adjustments made to calculate our non-GAAP financial measures are subjective and involve significant management judgement. Non-GAAP financial measures used by management in this report or elsewhere include the following:
1. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, or adjusted EBITDA, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by the Company as net income adjusted for certain items that impact the comparability of results from period to period, as set forth in the reconciliation below. We consider adjusted EBITDA to be useful because the measure reflects our operating performance before the effects of certain non-cash items and other items that we believe are not indicative of our core operations. 2. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated by the Company as net income and net income per share adjusted for certain items that impact the comparability of results from period to period, as set forth in the reconciliations below. We consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful because they allow for period-to-period comparisons of our operating results excluding items that we believe are not indicative of our fundamental ongoing operations. The tax effect of adjustments is computed by applying the statutory tax rate in the applicable jurisdictions to the income or expense items that are adjusted in the period presented. If a valuation allowance exists, the rate applied is zero. 3. Cash general and administrative expense, or cash G&A, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by the Company as general and administrative expenses for a period minus non-cash employee stock compensation expense for the same period. We believe that cash G&A is useful as an indicator of overhead efficiency without regard to non-cash expenses associated with employee stock compensation.

ROYAL GOLD, INC. | INVESTOR UPDATE | APRIL 2021 11 BD Process – Unique Attributes of Royalty Packages
• With the right assets and at the right price, royalty packages can provide significant long-term value through optionality • Earlier-stage projects may advance over time and provide future revenue potential • Many portfolios have traded hands, but few that have met Royal Gold’s criteria
Portfolio Example: Barrick Gold Package Barrick royalty package acquired by Royal Gold (US$M) Optionality continues to surface • Acquired package of royalties in 2008 from (e.g. Bellevue) Barrick Gold for US$ 150M • Top 10 royalties have generated ~US$ 285M
in revenue to date Revenue Generation by Top 10 Royalties • Optionality continues to surface, e.g.: $285 • RG holds a 2% NSR royalty on production from the Bellevue Gold project in Australia • Latest Bellevue FS (February 2021) indicates LOM recovered gold of 1.1 Moz with further -$150 potential beyond the proposed mine plan
Acquired Top 10 2008 Cumulative
ROYAL GOLD, INC. | INVESTOR UPDATE | APRIL 2021 12 Business Development Process – Structuring
Creativity is our competitive advantage Pueblo Viejo Structure
• Listen to the counterparty and customize a solution that works for all parties • Negotiate commercial features and financial provisions which encourage and facilitate continued investment by the operator • Draw from credit-oriented project finance experience to integrate investment protections that fit the circumstances
No “one size fits all” solution
ROYAL GOLD, INC. | INVESTOR UPDATE | APRIL 2021 13 Case Study – New Business – Khoemacau
WhyWhy we we like like Khoemacau: Khoemacau • People: Experienced executive and project teams with de-risked execution plan, focus on ESG • Project: +20-year initial mine life, competitive cost position, attractive exploration and expansion potential, meaningful contribution to Royal Gold portfolio • Place: Botswana is a stable, multi-party democracy with a long history of mining • Commodity: Strong copper fundamentals support the mine; attractive entry point for a silver investment (spot price < $16/oz at time of investment)
Key Considerations for Cupric Key Considerations for Royal Gold • Maximize non-equity sources of capital (significant • Want to see robust financing plan, address potential equity already invested) for cost overruns upfront • Expansion planning was already underway • Expansion plans at early stage difficult to attribute • Large unexplored land package desire to limit upfront value area of interest • No direct experience in Botswana
ROYAL GOLD, INC. | INVESTOR UPDATE | APRIL 2021 14 Case Study – New Business – Khoemacau
PracticalPractical solutions solutions agreed agreed to meetmeet each each party’s party’s needs needs: • Robust base-case financing plan • Resource Capital Funds brought in as partner to provide equity component of financing package • Royal Gold security interest subordinated to Red Kite debt facility; protections governed by an intercreditor agreement • Cost overrun options provisioned • Additional silver stream, subordinated debt and equity options earmarked upfront to manage and provide flexibility for any potential cost overruns • Commercial features to capture optionality while encouraging growth • Progressive cash price adjustments for expansions beyond 130% of initial design • Agreement on 176 km2 area of interest provides significant exploration upside to Royal Gold • Country risk • Royal Gold drew upon industry relationships and diplomatic channels to confirm view on Botswana as an attractive investment jurisdiction
ROYAL GOLD, INC. | INVESTOR UPDATE | APRIL 2021 15 Business Development Process – Contract Management
When circumstances change, Royal Gold changes with them
• “Life of mine” nature of contracts means they require occasional amendment to address new circumstances • Royal Gold works with its partners to ensure the investment continues to work for all parties while preserving or enhancing its interest; notable examples include:
Mount Milligan, 2016 Wassa, 2020
• Partial gold-for-copper stream swap to attract gold • Single agreement governing both mines separated to producers to Thompson Creek sale process facilitate Prestea divestiture • Thompson Creek benefitted from more robust auction • Golden Star and Royal Gold both benefitted from a • Centerra Gold benefitted from greater exposure to its transaction that allows Golden Star to accelerate core metal growth and development of world-class Wassa • Royal Gold benefitted from: resource • Improved counterparty financial position • Royal Gold benefitted further from: • Discount rate arbitrage between copper and gold • Increased exposure to Wassa • Attractive copper/gold price ratio • Motivated new operator at Prestea
