59 ROYAL GOLD, INC. | INVESTOR PRESENTATION | FEBRUARY 2025 Non-GAAP Measures Overview of non-GAAP financial measures: 4. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by the Company as net cash provided by operating activities for a period minus acquisition of stream and royalty interests for that same period. We believe that free cash flow represents an additional way of viewing liquidity as it is adjusted for contractual investments made during such period. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. We believe it is important to view free cash flow as a complement to our consolidated statements of cash flows. 5. 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. 6. Total Cash Cost per GEO is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by the Company by subtracting depreciation, depletion and amortization, impairment of royalty interests and non-cash employee stock compensation from total costs and expenses for a period and dividing the result by total GEOs for the same period. We believe Total Cash Costs per GEO provides a useful comparison to an operator’s total cash costs per ounce.
