Endnotes NASDAQ: RGLD 1. 2. 3. Gold Equivalent Ounces (“GEOs”) are calculated as revenue divided by the average gold price for the same period. Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP measure.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Reconciliation Non-GAAP Financial Measures NASDAQ: RGLD Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Reconciliation Management of the Company uses adjusted net income (loss) to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, and for planning and forecasting future business operations. The Company believes the use of adjusted net income (loss) allows investors and analysts to understand the results relating to receipt of revenue from its royalty interests and purchase and sale of gold from its streaming interests by excluding certain items that have a disproportionate impact on our results for a particular period. The net income (loss) adjustments are presented net of tax generally at the Company’s statutory effective tax rate. Management’s determination of the components of adjusted net income (loss) are evaluated periodically and based, in part, on a review of non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts. Net income (loss) attributable to Royal Gold stockholders is reconciled to adjusted net income (loss) as follows: | 14
