Material Increase in Annual Production (Musselwhite Acquisition)
Orla more than doubled annual gold production following the Musselwhite acquisition (>100% increase year-over-year). Musselwhite produced nearly 76,000 ounces of gold in Q4 after mining 371,000 tonnes and processing 361,000 tonnes at a mill grade of 6.77 g/t with 95.65% recovery.
Record Throughput and Operational Stability at Musselwhite
Musselwhite achieved 6 consecutive months of consistent ore production, averaging approximately 3,800 tonnes per day (6-month rolling average), the highest throughput since at least 2012; Q4 lateral development totaled 3,338 meters and six drills are currently underground.
Strong Quarterly Financial Performance
Q4 revenue of $378 million from the sale of just under 93,000 ounces at a realized price of $4,025/oz (including prepay); excluding prepay, average realized price was $4,187/oz. Net income of $79 million ($0.23/share) and adjusted earnings of $143 million ($0.42/share).
Robust Cash Generation and Liquidity Position
Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital was $165 million in Q4 with free cash flow of $133 million. Cash balance at year-end was $421 million and total liquidity $481 million (including undrawn revolver).
Capital Return and Deleveraging Actions
Initiated first quarterly dividend (initial payment made in February). Subsequently repaid $30 million on revolving credit facility (bringing outstanding balance to $60 million), demonstrating commitment to balanced capital allocation across growth, exploration, deleveraging and returns.
Advancement and Permitting Success at Camino Rojo
Mexican authorities approved the environmental impact statement and change of land use at Camino Rojo, permitting mining of the remainder of the oxide pit and construction of an exploration drift; a PEA for the underground project projects annual production >220,000 oz over first 10 years (doubling current output).
South Railroad: Strong Project Economics and Construction Readiness
Optimized feasibility study for South Railroad (Nevada) shows average 130,000 oz/year over first 5 years at AISC ~$1,485/oz; at $4,500/oz gold price delivers after-tax NPV of $1.7 billion and ~95% IRR. Engineering ~38% complete, initial capital estimate ~$395 million, targeting final record of decision mid-2026 and first production in 2028.
Exploration Momentum and Resource Upside
Musselwhite deep directional drilling (12,500+ m in 2025) confirms mineralization continues at least 2 km beyond current operations; >32,000 m of underground drilling in 2025 delivered multiple strong intersections supporting reserve replacement. Camino Rojo completed ~22,000 m of drilling supporting updated underground resource and upcoming PFS inputs.
