Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd Management’s Discussion and Analysis
2018 – First Quarter Report  

Description of the Business

Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd was formed following the friendly acquisition of Osisko Mining Corporation (“OMC”) by Yamana Gold Inc. (“Yamana”) and Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (“Agnico Eagle”) and commenced active operations on June 16, 2014. The Company is incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Québec) and is focused on acquiring and managing precious metal and other high-quality royalties, streams and similar interests in Canada and worldwide. 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, mainly in Canada. The cornerstone assets include a 5% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty on the Canadian Malartic mine, a sliding scale 2.0% - 3.5% NSR royalty on the Éléonore mine, a 9.6% diamond stream on the Renard diamond mine and a 4% gold and silver stream on the Brucejack mine, all located in Canada, in addition to a 100% silver stream on the Mantos Blancos copper mine in Chile. In addition, the Company invests in equities of exploration, development and royalty companies.

Business Model and Strategy

The Company’s objective is to maximize returns for its shareholders by growing its asset base, both organically and through accretive acquisitions of precious metal and other high-quality royalties, streams and similar interests, and by returning capital to its shareholders through share repurchases and/or dividend payments. The Company believes it can achieve this by putting its team’s strong technical expertise to work seeking out high margin growth opportunities that provide exposure to the upside of commodity prices and to the optionality of mineral reserve growth and new discoveries. Osisko’s main focus is on high quality gold assets located in favourable jurisdictions and operated by established mining companies, as these assets are expected to support a premium valuation in the marketplace. The Company will also evaluate opportunities in other commodities and jurisdictions. Given that a core aspect of the Company’s business is the ability to compete for investment opportunities, Osisko plans to maintain a strong balance sheet and ability to deploy capital. The Company may also invest or maintain investments in gold bullion as part of its overall treasury management, through the acquisition of gold bullion on the market or through holding in-kind royalties received.

Highlights – First Quarter of 2018

  • Quarterly gold equivalent ounces (“GEOs”) earned of 20,0361 (92% increase compared to Q1 20172 );
  • Record quarterly revenues from royalties and streams of $32.6 million (90% increase compared to Q1 2017);
  • Record net cash flows provided by operating activities of $23.3 million (compared to $12.0 million in Q1 2017);
  • Net earnings attributable to Osisko’s shareholders of $2.3 million, $0.01 per basic share (compared to $4.1 million, $0.04 per basic share in Q1 2017);
  • Adjusted earnings3 of $8.9 million, $0.06 per basic share3 (compared to $6.6 million, $0.06 per basic share in Q1 2017);
  • Delivery of the shares of AuRico Metals Inc. to Centerra Gold Inc. for a $1.80 cash consideration per share and for proceeds of $25.5 million, generating a gain4 of $15.5 million, based on the cash cost4 of the shares;
  • Acquisition for cancellation of 1,607,099 common shares for $20.3 million (average acquisition cost of $12.65 per share);
  • Converted the gold offtake agreement on the Matilda property operated by Blackham Resources Limited into a 1.65% gold stream, effective April 1, 2018;
  • Agreement to acquire from Victoria Gold Corp. (“Victoria”) a 5% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty for $98.0 million on the Dublin Gulch property which hosts the Eagle Gold project located in Yukon, Canada; and
  • Declared a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per common share to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 30, 2018, paid on April 16, 2018.

Highlights – Subsequent to March 31, 2018

  • Disbursement of the first tranche of the 5% NSR royalty acquired from Victoria for $49.0 million and subscribed to 100 million common shares of Victoria for $50.0 million;
  • Repayment of $32.0 million on the revolving credit facility in April; and
  • Declaration of a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per common share payable on July 16, 2018 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 29, 2018.

GEOs are calculated on a quarterly basis and include royalties, streams and offtakes. Silver earned from royalty and stream agreements was converted to gold equivalent ounces by multiplying the silver ounces by the average silver price for the period and dividing by the average gold price for the period. Diamonds, other metals and cash royalties were converted into gold equivalent ounces by dividing the associated revenue by the average gold price for the period. Offtake agreements were converted using the financial settlement equivalent divided by the average gold price for the period. Refer to the portfolio of royalty, stream and other interests section for average metal prices used.

Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd Management’s Discussion and Analysis
2018 – First Quarter Report  

Canadian Malartic Royalty (Agnico Eagle and Yamana)

One of the Company’s cornerstone assets is a 5% NSR royalty on the Canadian Malartic property which is located in Malartic, Québec, and operated by the Canadian Malartic General Partnership (the “Partnership”) created by Agnico Eagle and Yamana (the “Partners”). The Canadian Malartic property includes the Canadian Malartic mine, which was constructed and developed by Osisko Mining Corporation and commenced production in April 2011. Canadian Malartic is Canada’s largest and the world’s 12th largest producing gold mine.

In February 2018, initial inferred mineral resources have been declared on the East Malartic deposit, which lies on the Canadian Malartic mine property close to the Odyssey Zone. Inferred mineral resources are estimated at 2.4 million ounces of gold (38.0 million tonnes grading 2.02 grams of gold per tonne) at underground depths above the 1,000 metre elevation.

Osisko also holds a 3% NSR royalty on the Odyssey North zone and a 5% NSR royalty on the Odyssey South zone, which are located adjacent to the Canadian Malartic mine on Osisko’s royalty ground. In February 2017, the Partners have declared initial inferred underground mineral resources at Odyssey, estimated at 1.4 million ounces of gold (20.7 million tonnes grading 2.15 grams of gold per tonne).

Update on operations

In February 2018, Agnico Eagle released its guidance for gold production at the Canadian Malartic mine to 650,000 ounces in 2018 and 2019 and 690,000 ounces in 2020.

On April 26, 2018, Agnico Eagle reported its first quarter results and announced record quarterly gold production of 166,806 ounces at Canadian Malartic. Gold production in the first quarter of 2018 increased when compared to the prior-year period due to higher throughput and higher grades. The Barnat extension project continues to progress on schedule and on budget and production activities are scheduled to begin in late 2019.

Agnico Eagle reported that the 2018 exploration program will consist of 140,000 metres of drilling, including 80,000 metres for valuation in the upper and middle parts of the East Malartic Zone. There are currently three drill rigs at the East Malartic project and six rigs at the Odyssey project. In the first quarter of 2018, 22,089 metres of drilling (46 holes) were completed at the Odyssey project and 13,600 metres (18 holes) were completed at the East Malartic project.

For more information, refer to Agnico Eagle’s press release dated February 14, 2018 entitled “Agnico Eagle reports fourth quarter and full year 2017 results” and Agnico Eagle’s press release dated April 26, 2018 entitled “Agnico Eagle Reports First Quarter 2018 Results; Nunavut Development Projects Progressing on Budget and on Schedule; Exploration Drilling Yields Favourable Results at Multiple Projects”, both available on www.sedar.com.

Éléonore Royalty (Goldcorp Inc.)

Through the acquisition of Virginia Mines Inc. (“Virginia”) in 2015, Osisko owns a sliding scale 2.0% to 3.5% NSR royalty on the Éléonore gold property located in the Province of Québec and operated by Goldcorp Inc. (“Goldcorp”). Commercial production for the Éléonore mine was declared on April 1, 2015. Current NSR royalty is at 2.2% .

Update on operations

In January 2018, as part of their Investor Day update, Goldcorp presented its outlook activities of the Éléonore mine. The new plan outlined a long-term production profile of the property to approximately 360,000 ounces of gold in 2018 and 400,000 ounces of gold thereafter.

On April 25, 2018, Goldcorp released its results for the first quarter of 2018 and reported that, as planned, gold production was lower than the same period in the prior year reflecting the optimized mine sequence. Éléonore's tonnes milled were planned to be lower in the first half of 2018 and are expected to increase in the second half of the year as part of the mine sequence and ramp up process. Goldcorp also reported that during the first quarter of 2018, Éléonore advanced the ramp to the bottom of the shaft in Horizon 5, ahead of schedule, creating access to Horizon 5 as an additional area for active mining. The additional mining fronts will add mining flexibility and support lower mining unit costs. Goldcorp reported that, with the completion of this key piece of infrastructure, the mine is on pace to achieve optimum sustainable gold production rates by the second half of 2018.

For additional information, please refer to Goldcorp’s Management and Discussion Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, as well as the Investor Day 2018 presentation available on www.goldcorp.com.

2018 – First Quarter Report  

Renard Stream (Stornoway Diamond Corporation)

The Renard diamond mine is operated by Stornoway Diamond Corporation (“Stornoway”) and is Québec's first and Canada's sixth producing diamond mine. It is located approximately 250 kilometres north of the Cree community of Mistissini and 350 kilometres north of Chibougamau in the James Bay region of north-central Québec. Commercial production was declared on January 1, 2017. Under the terms of the Renard streaming agreement, Osisko is entitled to 9.6% of the Renard diamond mine production in exchange for payments of US$50 per carat, subject to an increase of 1% annually after January 1, 2020.

Update on operations

On April 11, 2018, Stornoway reported first quarter diamond production from the Renard mine of 285,851 carats produced from the processing of 562,520 tonnes of ore at an average grade of 51 carats per hundred tonnes (“cpht”). Grade and carat recoveries during the quarter reflected the processing of lower grade production ore and ore stockpiles as the Renard mine transitions from open pit to underground mining. Stornoway expects to complete the transition by the end of the second quarter of 2018.

During the first quarter of 2018, Stornoway reported sales of 399,135 carats sold at an average price of US$112 per carat ($141 per carat) from three tender sales. The third sale will be recognized in the second quarter of 2018 as deliveries to the clients were made in April. Therefore, revenues and GEOs earned from this sale will be recorded by Osisko in the second quarter of 2018, estimated at $1.7 million and 1,000 GEOs.

Stornoway mentioned that sales pricing achieved during the first quarter was within or above 2018 financial year guidance provided in January 2018. Carat production during the first quarter was lower than planned. As a result, higher than budgeted carat production in the remainder of the year will be required to achieve Stornoway’s full year production guidance of 1.6 million carats produced and 1.6 million carats sold.

For additional information, please refer to Stornoway’s press release dated April 11, 2018 entitled “Stornoway Reports First Quarter 2018 Production and Sales Results” and filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

The Mantos stream agreement is for the life of mine and is based on 100% of the payable silver from the Mantos Blancos copper mine until 19,300,000 ounces have been delivered, after which the stream percentage will be 30%. The purchase price for the silver under the Mantos stream is 25% of the monthly average silver market price for each ounce of refined silver sold and delivered and/or credited by Mantos to Osisko Bermuda Limited (“OBL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Osisko. Mantos may elect to reduce the amount of refined silver to be delivered and sold to OBL by 50% in 2018, 2019 or 2020, provided that Mantos has delivered no less than 1.99 million ounces of silver to OBL under the stream agreement in which case Mantos shall make a cash payment of US$70.0 million to OBL.

OBL has a right of first refusal in respect of a financing by Mantos of any royalty, stream, participation or production interest in gold at the Mantos Blancos copper mine or the Mantoverde mine prior to June 30, 2018.

Update on operations

Production of silver at the Mantos Blancos mine and concentrator plant for the first quarter of 2018 was 143,671 ounces of payable silver, which was slightly lower than the corresponding period of 2017, due to phases being mined that had a lower silver grade.

Work on the Mantos Blancos concentrator debottlenecking project (“MB-CDP”) is proceeding according to the plan and the feasibility study being developed by Hatch was completed in April 2018. The MB-CDP project is expected to increase processing capacity at the concentrator by approximately 70%. The key environmental permits have all been received.

Amulsar Stream (Lydian International Ltd.)

The Amulsar project is a gold-bearing quartzite deposit located in southern Armenia. The Amulsar project is in the development and construction stage and production is expected to begin in the second half of 2018. Amulsar will be Armenia's largest gold mine, with estimated mineral resources containing 3.5 million measured and indicated gold ounces and 1.3 million inferred gold ounces. The details of the mineral inventory can be found under Lydian International Ltd.’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Gold production is targeted to average approximately 225,000 ounces annually over an initial 10-year mine life. OBL’s entitlement under the Amulsar stream applies to 4.22% of refined gold production and 62.5% of refined silver until 142,454 ounces of refined gold and 695,549 ounces of refined silver are delivered. The stream agreement includes ongoing transfer payments by OBL to Lydian International Ltd. (“Lydian”) of US$400 per ounce of refined gold and US$4.00 per ounce of refined silver delivered under the stream subject to a 1% annual increase starting on the third anniversary of commercial production.

  (i)

the stream percentage may be reduced by 50% on the second anniversary of commercial production for US$55M (US$34.38M attributable to OBL); or

  (ii)

the stream percentage may be reduced by 50% on the third anniversary of commercial production for US$50M (US$31.25M attributable to OBL).

Update on development and construction activities

On February 22, 2018, Lydian announced that construction activities at Amulsar continued to progress well in key areas: engineering was essentially complete, procurement was approaching 90%, and construction work was more than 50% complete.

Lydian’s management reported that first gold production remained on track for the third quarter of 2018, although some areas had progressed slower than planned, due, in large part, to unfavorable geotechnical conditions in several areas that required mitigation and pushed certain construction activities into the winter season. Lost work days due to weather are within the scheduled allowance.

For more information on the Amulsar project, refer to Lydia’s press release dated February 22, 2018, entitled “Lydian Provides Construction Update for Its Amulsar Gold Project” filed on www.sedar.com.

2018 – First Quarter Report  

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

The Company has a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that allows Canadian shareholders and U.S. shareholders (commencing with the dividend paid on October 16, 2017) to reinvest their cash dividends into additional common shares either purchased on the open market through the facilities of the TSX or the NYSE, or issued directly from treasury by the Company, or acquired by a combination thereof. In the case of a treasury issuance, the price will be the weighted average price of the common shares on the TSX or the NYSE during the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the dividend payment date, less a discount, if any, of up to 5%, at the Company’s sole election. No commissions, service charges or brokerage fees are payable by shareholders who elect to participate in the DRIP.

As at March 31, 2018, the holders of 27,302,917 common shares had elected to participate in the DRIP, representing dividends payable of $1,365,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company issued 24,513 common shares under the DRIP, at a discount rate of 3%. On April, 2018, 113,459 common shares were issued under the DRIP at a discount rate of 3%.

Normal Course Issuer Bid

In October 2016, the TSX approved the Company’s notice of intention to make a normal course issuer bid (the “2016 NCIB Program”). Under the terms of the 2016 NCIB Program, Osisko could acquire up to 5,330,217 of its common shares from time to time in accordance with the normal course issuer bid procedures of the TSX. Repurchases under the 2016 NCIB Program were authorized until October 23, 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company purchased for cancellation a total of 150,000 common shares under the NCIB Program for $1,823,000, which were paid in 2017.

In December 2017, Osisko renewed its normal course issuer bid (the “2017 NCIB Program”). Under the terms of the 2017 NCIB Program, Osisko may acquire up to 10,567,441 of its common shares from time to time in accordance with the normal course issuer bid procedures of the TSX. As at March 31, 2018, Osisko has acquired and cancelled a total of 1,607,099 common shares under the 2017 NCIB Program for $20.3 million (average acquisition cost of $12.65 per share) as Osisko’s Management considered the value of Osisko’s common shares undervalued.

Gold Market and Currency

Gold Market

Commodity prices increased in early 2018 supported by a boost in global economic growth and depreciation in the U.S. dollar. Gold had a positive start building on gains made in late December 2017 with the prices rising above US$1,366 in January 2018 surpassing the previous high of US$1,357 reached in September 2017. The price of gold has rallied 10% from the December 2017 lows and has recorded its best-performing quarter since the third quarter of 2016. Metal prices were under pressure in February 2018 and since then, gold has continued to trade sideways in a US$1,300 to US$1,350 range. The activity has been driven by a softer U.S. dollar, extremely loose monetary policy pursued by nearly all key central banks, geopolitical tensions and fear of potential trade wars.

Gold prices rose 2.6% during the first quarter of 2018 and gained US$33 per ounce quarter over quarter on the London fix to close at US$1,324 per ounce. The average price was higher from the fourth quarter of 2017 at US$1,329 per ounce and US$110 per ounce higher on a year over year basis.

The historical price is as follows:

(US$/ounce of gold)  High  Low Average Close
         
2018 (Q1) $1,355 $1,308 $1,329 $1,324
2017 1,346 1,151 1,257 1,291
2016 1,366 1,077 1,251 1,146
2015 1,296 1,049 1,160 1,060
2014 1,385 1,142 1,266 1,206

In Canadian dollar terms, the average price per ounce of gold for the first quarter of 2018 averaged $1,681 per ounce compared to $1,621 per ounce in the fourth quarter of 2017. Gold price closed at $1,707 per ounce on March 31, 2018 compared to $1,620 as at December 31, 2017 as a result of a higher gold price in U.S. dollars and a weaker Canadian currency. The Canadian dollar was under pressure reacting to a more cautious tone taken by the Bank of Canada concerned by residential markets and the NAFTA negotiations.

Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd Management’s Discussion and Analysis
2018 – First Quarter Report  

Currency

The Canadian dollar continued its appreciation versus the U.S. dollar in January 2018 after the central bank lifted the overnight rate to 1.25%, but lost momentum since then to reach an 8-month low at 1.31 in March 2018. During the first quarter of 2018, the dollar lost almost 3% against the U.S. dollar delivering the worst performing returns among major currencies. The Canadian dollar has been negatively affected by the outcome of negotiations on NAFTA with a possible dissolution of the agreement with the rise of U.S. protectionism. The Canadian dollar was also affected by Canada-U.S. real interest rate spreads. The dollar traded between a range of 1.3088 and 1.2288, closed on March 31, 2018 at 1.2894 and averaged 1.2647 during the first quarter of 2018.

In January 2018, the Bank of Canada increased the overnight rate target by 0.25% to 1.25%, but maintained it unchanged in March and took a more cautionary language for future policy adjustments including concerns about the housing market, the economy’s sensitivity to higher rates and the increase risks of protectionism and inflation.

2018 – First Quarter Report  

Overview of Financial Results

Financial Summary

  • Record revenues from royalties and streams of $32.6 million ($125.6 million including offtakes) compared to $17.1 million in Q1 2017;

  • Gross profit of $18.7 million compared to $13.7 million in Q1 2017;

  • Operating income of $13.1 million compared to $6.2 million in Q1 2017;

  • Net earnings attributable to Osisko’s shareholders of $2.3 million or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, compared to $4.0 million or $0.04 per basic and diluted share in Q1 2017;

  • Adjusted earnings1 of $8.9 million or $0.06 per basic share1 compared to $6.6 million or $0.06 per basic share in Q1 2017;

  • Record net cash flows provided by operating activities of $23.3 million compared to $12.0 million in Q1 2017.

Revenues increased in 2018 mainly as a result of the acquisition of Orion’s portfolio on July 31, 2017.

Gross profit reached $18.7 million in the first quarter of 2018 compared to $6.2 million in the first quarter of 2017 as a result of higher revenues, partially offset by higher cost of sales and depletion of royalty, stream and other interests. Cost of sales increased from $0.1 million to $93.7 million mainly as a result of the offtake agreements acquired through the acquisition of a portfolio of assets from Orion Mine Finance Group (“Orion”). Under the offtake agreements, the metal is acquired from the producers at the lowest market price over a certain period of time (quotational period), and is subsequently sold by Osisko, resulting in a net profit that will usually vary between 0% and 5% of the sales proceeds. The depletion expense increased mainly as a result of the producing assets acquired in 2017 which are depleted using the units-of-production method.

The increase in operating income in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the corresponding period of 2017 is mainly the result of higher gross profit and lower general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses and business development expenses. The decrease in G&A expenses and business development expenses is mainly due to a share-based compensation recovery related to the deferred and restricted share units resulting from the lower share price at March 31, 2018, compared to an increase in the share price for the same period in 2017.

The decrease in net earnings attributable to Osisko’s shareholders in the first quarter of 2018 is mainly the result of higher finance costs of $5.7 million (which are related to the convertible debentures of $300.0 million issued in November 2017 and the revolving credit facility outstanding during the quarter, which was drawn to finance the acquisition of Orion’s portfolio in July 2017) and other net losses of $2.6 million on financial assets (compared to other net gains of $2.0 million during the first quarter of 2017).

Adjusted earnings increased to $8.9 million in the first quarter of 2018 compared to $6.6 million in the first quarter of 2017 as a result of a higher gross profit, lower G&A expenses and business development expenses and a positive realized foreign expense impact, partially offset by higher finance costs.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities reached a quarterly record during the first quarter of 2018 to $23.3 million compared to $12.0 million during the first quarter of 2017, as a result of higher gross profit before depletion of royalty, stream and other interest, partially offset by higher finance costs paid.

Cost of sales represents mainly the acquisition price of the metals and diamonds under the offtake and stream agreements, as well as minimal refining, insurance and transportation costs related to the metals received under royalty agreements. The significant increase in the first quarter of 2018 is mainly the result of the offtake and stream interests acquired from Orion on July 31, 2017.

     
  (c)

The royalty, stream and other interests are depleted using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the properties or the life of the agreement.

During the first quarter of 2018, G&A expenses decreased to $4.4 million (net of cost recoveries from associates of $0.5 million) compared to $5.7 million during the first quarter of 2017 (net of cost recoveries from associates of $0.5 million). The decrease is mainly due to a share-based compensation recovery of $0.1 million related to the deferred and restricted share units resulting from the lower share price at March 31, 2018, compared to an expense of $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2017.

     
  (f)

During the first quarter of 2018, business development expenses decreased to $1.2 million (net of cost recoveries from associates of $0.8 million) compared to $1.8 million (net of cost recoveries from associates of $0.5 million) during the first quarter of 2017. The decrease is mainly due to lower share-based compensation expense related to the deferred and restricted share units resulting from the lower share price at March 31, 2018.

     
  (g)

Other expenses, net, of $8.9 million in the first quarter of 2018 include finance costs of $6.6 million, a net loss on investments of $2.6 million and a share of loss of associates of $1.4 million, partially offset by interest income of $1.5 million.

     
 

Other expenses, net, of $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2017 include a loss on foreign exchange of $1.4 million, a share of loss of associates of $1.4 million and finance costs of $0.9 million, partially offset by a net gain on investments of $2.0 million and interest income of $1.3 million.

     
  (h)

The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2018 is 44.6% compared to 30.1% for the first quarter of 2017. The statutory rate is 26.7% in 2018 and 26.8% in 2017. The elements that impacted the effective income taxes are the non- taxable (or deductible) part of capital gains (or losses) (50%) and non-deductible expenses. In the first quarter of 2018, an amount of $0.2 million is related to cash taxes on royalties earned in foreign jurisdictions. In the first quarter of 2017, the income tax expense was only related to deferred income taxes.

Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities during the first quarter of 2018 amounted to $23.3 million compared to $12.0 million during the first quarter of 2017.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities increased in 2018 as a result of higher revenues, partly offset by higher cost of sales and interests paid on long-term debt.

Investing Activities

Cash flows provided by investing activities amounted to $2.6 million during the first quarter of 2018 compared to cash flows used of $82.5 million in the first quarter of 2017.

During the first quarter of 2018, Osisko invested $13.6 million in investments, $10.0 million in royalty interests and $0.5 million in short-term investments. Proceeds on the sale of investments generated $25.6 million, mainly from the disposal of its AuRico Metals Inc. shares to Centerra Gold Inc. for a $1.80 cash consideration per share for proceeds of $25.5 million. Exploration and evaluation activities generated $1.1 million as the Company received payments of previously claimed governmental tax credits.

During the first quarter of 2017, Osisko invested $62.8 million in investments, $42.9 million in royalty and stream interests, including $42.7 million to acquire a silver stream on the Gibraltar mine (including transaction costs and net of the fair value of the warrants received as part of the transaction), and increased its short-term investments by $0.5 million. Proceeds on the sale of investments generated $22.5 million and exploration and evaluation activities generated $1.2 million as the Company received payments of governmental tax credits.

During the first quarter of 2018, cash flows used in financing activities amounted to $28.3 million compared to $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2017.

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company paid $20.3 million under the 2017 NCIB Program to acquire and cancel a total of 1,607,099 common shares as Osisko’s management considered the value of Osisko’s common shares undervalued. The Company also paid $7.5 million in dividends to its shareholders.

2018 – First Quarter Report  

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company paid $4.1 million in dividends to its shareholders and $1.8 million under the 2016 NCIB Program. The cash outflows were partially offset by investments of non-controlling interests in Mines Coulon Inc., which increased liquidities by $1.3 million, and by the exercise of share options and the employee share purchase plan that generated $0.9 million.

Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd Management’s Discussion and Analysis
2018 – First Quarter Report  

Outlook

Osisko’s 2018 outlook on royalty, stream and precious metal offtake interests is based on publicly available forecasts, in particular the forecasts for the Canadian Malartic mine published by Yamana and Agnico Eagle, for the Éléonore mine published by Goldcorp, for the Renard mine published by Stornoway, for the Brucejack mine published by Pretium, and for the Island Gold mine published by Alamos. When publicly available forecasts on properties are not available, Osisko obtains internal forecasts from the producers, which is the case for the Sasa mine and the Mantos Blancos mine, or uses management’s best estimate.

Attributable gold equivalent ounces for 2018 are estimated between 77,500 and 82,500. For the 2018 guidance, silver, diamonds and cash royalties have been converted to GEOs using commodity prices of US$1,300 per ounce of gold, US$18 per ounce of silver and US$110 per carat for diamonds from the Renard mine and an exchange rate (US$/C$) of 1.25.

Related Party Transactions

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, an amount of $1,280,000 ($990,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017) was invoiced by Osisko to associates for recoveries of costs related to professional services and rental of offices, of which $460,000 ($504,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017) is reflected as a reduction of general and administrative expenses and $820,000 ($486,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017) is reflected as a reduction of business development expenses in the consolidated statements of income.

An amount of $1,269,000 (including sales taxes) is receivable from associates and included in accounts receivable as at March 31, 2018 ($1,245,000 as at December 31, 2017).

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is a royalty, stream, and offtake interests holder and investor that operates in an industry that is dependent on a number of factors that include environmental, legal and political risks, the discovery of economically recoverable resources and the conversion of these mineral resources to mineral reserves and the ability of third-party partners to maintain an economic production. An investment in the Company’s securities is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. An investor should carefully consider the risks described in Osisko’s most recent Annual Information Form and the other information filed with the Canadian securities regulators and the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) before investing in the Company's securities. If any of such described risks occur, or if others occur, the Company's business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed and investors may lose a significant proportion of their investment.

There are important risks which management believes could impact the Company’s business. For information on risks and uncertainties, please also refer to the “Risk Factors” section of Osisko’s most recent Annual Information Form filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”) of the Company are responsible for establishing and maintaining the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (“DCP”) including adherence to the Disclosure Policy adopted by the Company. The Disclosure Policy requires all staff to keep senior management fully apprised of all material information affecting the Company so that they may evaluate and discuss this information and determine the appropriateness and timing for public disclosure.

The Company maintains DCP designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under applicable Canadian securities laws and the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the appropriate time periods and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The CEO and CFO have evaluated whether there were changes to the DCP during the three months ended March 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the DCP. No such changes were identified through their evaluation.

In designing and evaluating DCP, the Company recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived or operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and management is required to exercise its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

24



Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd Management’s Discussion and Analysis
2018 – First Quarter Report  

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management, including the CEO and the CFO, are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) for the Company to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. The fundamental issue is ensuring all transactions are properly authorized and identified and entered into a well-designed, robust and clearly understood accounting system on a timely basis to minimize risk of inaccuracy, failure to fairly reflect transactions, failure to fairly record transactions necessary to present financial statements in accordance with IFRS, unauthorized receipts and expenditures, or the inability to provide assurance that unauthorized acquisitions or dispositions of assets can be detected.

The CEO and CFO have evaluated whether there were changes to the ICFR during the three months ended March 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the ICFR. No such changes were identified through their evaluation.

The Company’s ICFR may not prevent or detect all misstatements because of inherent limitations. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with the Company’s policies and procedures.

Basis of Presentation of Consolidated Financial Statements

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018 have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS as issued by the IASB applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The accounting policies, methods of computation and presentation applied in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for the adoption of new accounting standards (presented below) and the presentation of the general and administrative expenses and the business development expenses, which are now presented net of the cost recoveries from associates instead of the cost recoveries from associates being presented on a separate line on the consolidated statements of income (cost recoveries from associates). The comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current fiscal year. The Board of Directors approved the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements on May 3, 2018.

The significant accounting policies of Osisko are detailed in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018 (for the new revenue recognition policy, which is also disclosed below), both filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, EDGAR at www.sec.gov and on Osisko’s website at www.osiskogr.com.

IFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers (“IFRS 15”)

IFRS 15 replaces all previous revenue recognition standards, including IAS 18, Revenue, and related interpretations. The standard sets out the requirements for recognizing revenue. Specifically, the new standard introduces a comprehensive framework with the general principle being that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard introduces more prescriptive guidance than was included in previous standards and may result in changes to the timing of revenue for certain types of revenues. The new standard will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue that would result in an entity providing comprehensive information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts with customers. As of January 1, 2018, the Company has adopted IFRS 15 on a full retrospective basis and as such, has revised its revenue recognition policy based on the requirements of IFRS 15. Management has concluded that, based on its current operations, the adoption of IFRS 15 had no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Revenue recognition policy

Revenue comprises revenues from the sale of commodities received and revenues directly earned from royalty, stream and other interests.

25



Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd Management’s Discussion and Analysis
2018 – First Quarter Report  

For royalty and stream agreements paid in-kind and for offtake agreements, the Company’s performance obligations relate primarily to the delivery of gold, silver or other products to the customers. Revenue is recognized when control is transferred to the customers, which is achieved when a product is delivered, the customer has full discretion over the product and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the product. Control over the refined gold, silver and other products is transferred to the customers when the relevant product received (or purchased) from the operator is physically delivered and sold by the Company (or its agent) to the third party customers. For royalty and stream agreements paid in cash, revenue recognition will depend on the related agreement.

Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable when management can reliably estimate the amount, pursuant to the terms of the royalty, stream and other interest agreements. In some instances, the Company will not have access to sufficient information to make a reasonable estimate of revenue and, accordingly, revenue recognition is deferred until management can make a reasonable estimate. Differences between estimates and actual amounts are adjusted and recorded in the period that the actual amounts are known.

IFRIC 22, Foreign currency translation and advance consideration (“IFRIC 22”)

IFRIC 22 addresses foreign currency transactions or parts of transactions where there is consideration that is denominated or priced in a foreign currency and where the entity recognizes a non-monetary asset or liability in respect of that consideration, in advance of the recognition of the related asset, expense or income. The date of the transaction, for the purpose of determining the exchange rate, is the date of initial recognition of the non-monetary asset or liability. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, a date of transaction is established for each payment or receipt. As of January 1, 2018, the Company has adopted IFRIC 22 retrospectively and has concluded that, based on its current operations, it had no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgement based on various assumptions and other factors such as historical experience and current and expected economic conditions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Critical judgements in applying the Company’s accounting policies are detailed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, EDGAR at www.sec.gov and on Osisko’s website at www.osiskogr.com.

Financial Instruments

All financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition. The fair value is based on quoted market prices, unless the financial instruments are not traded in an active market. In this case, the fair value is determined by using valuation techniques like the Black-Scholes option pricing model or other valuation techniques. Measurement in subsequent periods depends on the classification of the financial instrument. A description of financial instruments and their fair value is included in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018, both filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, EDGAR at www.sec.gov and on Osisko’s website at www.osiskogr.com.

Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures

The Company has included certain non-IFRS measures including “Adjusted Earnings” and “Adjusted Earnings per basic share” to supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with IFRS.

The Company believes that these measures, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS, provide investors with an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. Non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore they may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies. The data is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings per Basic Share

“Adjusted earnings” is defined as “Net earnings (loss) attributable to Osisko’s shareholders” less certain items: “Foreign exchange gain (loss)”, “Impairment charges”, “Gains (losses) on disposal of evaluation and evaluation assets”, “Write-off of property and equipment”, “Unrealized gain (loss) on investments”, “Impairment on financial assets and investments in associates”, “Share of income (loss) of associates”, “Deferred income tax expense” and other unusual items such as transaction costs.

Adjusted earnings per basic share is obtained from the “adjusted earnings” divided by the “Weighted average number of common shares outstanding” for the period.

Forward-looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this MD&A may be deemed "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws. All statements in this MD&A, other than statements of historical fact, that address future events, developments or performance that Osisko expects to occur including management’s expectations regarding Osisko’s growth, results of operations, estimated future revenues, requirements for additional capital, mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates, production estimates, production costs and revenue estimates, future demand for and prices of commodities, business prospects and opportunities and outlook on gold, silver, diamonds, other commodities and currency markets are forward-looking statements. In addition, statements (including data in tables) relating to mineral reserves and resources and gold equivalent ounces are forward-looking statements, as they involve implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, and no assurance can be given that the estimates will be realized. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by the words "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "intends", "estimates", "projects", "potential", "scheduled" and similar expressions or variations (including negative variations), or that events or conditions "will", "would", "may", "could" or "should" occur including, without limitation, the performance of the assets of Osisko, the realization of the anticipated benefits deriving from Osisko’s investments and transactions and the estimate of gold equivalent ounces to be received in 2018. Although Osisko believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, most of which are beyond the control of Osisko, and are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may accordingly differ materially from those in forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include, without limitation: fluctuations in the prices of the commodities that drive royalties, streams, offtakes and investments held by Osisko; fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar; regulatory changes by national and local governments, including permitting and licensing regimes and taxation policies; regulations and political or economic developments in any of the countries where properties in which Osisko holds a royalty, stream or other interest are located or through which they are held; risks related to the operators of the properties in which Osisko holds a royalty, stream or other interests; the unfavorable outcome of litigation relating to any of the properties in which Osisko holds a royalty, stream or other interests; business opportunities that become available to, or are pursued by Osisko; continued availability of capital and financing and general economic, market or business conditions; litigation; title, permit or license disputes related to interests on any of the properties in which Osisko holds a royalty, stream or other interest; development, permitting, infrastructure, operating or technical difficulties on any of the properties in which Osisko holds a royalty, stream or other interest; rate and timing of production differences from resource estimates or production forecasts by operators of properties in which Osisko holds a royalty, stream or other interest; risks and hazards associated with the business of exploring, development and mining on any of the properties in which Osisko holds a royalty, stream or other interest, including, but not limited to unusual or unexpected geological and metallurgical conditions, slope failures or cave-ins, flooding and other natural disasters or civil unrest or other uninsured risks. The forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are based upon assumptions management believes to be reasonable, including, without limitation: the ongoing operation of the properties in which Osisko holds a royalty, stream or other interest by the owners or operators of such properties in a manner consistent with past practice; the accuracy of public statements and disclosures made by the owners or operators of such underlying properties; no material adverse change in the market price of the commodities that underlie the asset portfolio; no adverse development in respect of any significant property in which Osisko holds a royalty, stream or other interest; the accuracy of publicly disclosed expectations for the development of underlying properties that are not yet in production; and the absence of any other factors that could cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. For additional information on risks, uncertainties and assumptions, please refer to the Annual Information Form of Osisko filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and EDGAR at www.sec.gov which also provides additional general assumptions in connection with these statements. Osisko cautions that the foregoing list of risk and uncertainties is not exhaustive. Investors and others should carefully consider the above factors as well as the uncertainties they represent and the risk they entail.

Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd Management’s Discussion and Analysis
2018 – First Quarter Report  

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Regarding the Use of Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Estimates

Osisko is subject to the reporting requirements of the applicable Canadian securities laws, and as a result reports its mineral reserves according to Canadian standards. Canadian reporting requirements for disclosure of mineral properties are governed by National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Properties (“NI 43-101"). The definitions of NI 43-101 are adopted from those given by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”). U.S. reporting requirements are governed by the SEC’s Industry Guide 7 (“Guide 7”). This MD&A includes estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources reported in accordance with NI 43-101. These reporting standards have similar goals in terms of conveying an appropriate level of confidence in the disclosures being reported, but embody different approaches and definitions. For example, under Guide 7, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. Consequently, the definitions of “Proven Mineral Reserves” and “Probable Mineral Reserves” under CIM standards differ in certain respects from the standards of the SEC. Osisko also reports estimates of “mineral resources” in accordance with NI 43-101. While the terms “Mineral Resource,” “Measured Mineral Resource,” “Indicated Mineral Resource” and “Inferred Mineral Resource” are recognized by NI 43-101, they are not defined terms under standards of the SEC and, generally, U.S. companies are not permitted to report estimates of mineral resources of any category in documents filed with the SEC. As such, certain information contained in this MD&A concerning descriptions of mineralization and estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources under Canadian standards is not comparable to similar information made public by United States companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC. Readers are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of Measured Mineral Resources or Indicated Mineral Resources will ever be converted into Mineral Reserves. Readers are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable. Further, an “Inferred Mineral Resource” has a great amount of uncertainty as to its existence and as to its economic and legal feasibility, and a reader cannot assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies.
