(Kitco News) - Precious metals stream and royalty company Royal Gold (NASDAQ: RGLD) yesterday announced Q2 2023 revenue of $144.0 million (Q2 2022: $146.4 million) and operating cash flow of $107.9 million (Q2 2022: $120.2 million).
The company said that the decrease in total revenue in the second quarter resulted primarily from lower gold sales at Andacollo, lower copper sales at Mount Milligan and lower gold and silver production attributable to its interest at Peñasquito.
“The decrease in operating cash flow was primarily due to higher interest payments on amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and lower royalty revenue, compared to the prior year period,” it added.
The company also reported Q2 2023 net income of $63.4 million or $0.97 per share (Q2 2022: net income of $71.1 million or $1.08 per share), while adjusted net income was $57.2 million or $0.88 per share (Q2 2022: adjusted net income of $54 million or $0.81 per share).
Royal Gold explained that the decrease in net income was primarily attributable to higher debt-related interest expense.
Importantly, the company informed that there is no change to previously issued guidance for sales of 320,000 to 345,000 gold equivalent ounces (GEOs) for 2023.
“However, if operations at Peñasquito remain suspended through the remainder of 2023, and absent other unforeseen events at our producing properties, total GEO sales may come in around the low end of the 2023 guidance range,” the company said in a press release.
