(Unaudited - Expressed in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated, except for share, ounce, per ounce, and per share amounts)
 

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Metalla Royalty & Streaming Ltd. ("Metalla" or the "Company"), incorporated in British Columbia, Canada, is a precious metals royalty and streaming company, which engages in the acquisition and management of gold, silver, and copper royalties, streams, and similar production-based interests. The Company's common shares ("Common Shares") are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") under the symbol "MTA" and on the NYSE American ("NYSE") under the symbol "MTA". The head office and principal address is 501 - 543 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

The Company has incurred a cumulative deficit to date of $69.6 million as at March 31, 2025, and has had losses from operations for multiple years. Continued operations of the Company are dependent on the Company's ability to generate positive cash flow in the future, receive continued financial support, and/or complete external financing. Management expects that its cash balance, cash flows from operating activities, and available credit facilities will be sufficient to fund the operations of the Company for at least twelve months from the date of this report.

2. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Statement of Compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

(b) Basis of Preparation and Measurement

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments, which have been measured at fair value. In addition, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

The Company is currently assessing the impact of the following new and amended standards:

  • The IASB has issued classification and measurement and disclosure amendments to IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures, which are effective for years beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with earlier application permitted. The amendments clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities and introduce a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic payment system. Other changes include a clarification of the requirements when assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest criteria and new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows (including instruments where cash flow changes are linked to environmental, social or governance targets).

A&R Loan Facility

In March 2019, the Company entered into a convertible loan facility with Beedie to fund acquisitions of new royalties and streams which has subsequently been amended from time to time. The loan facility bears interest on amounts advanced and a standby fee on funds available. Funds advanced are convertible into Common Shares at Beedie's option, with the conversion price determined at the date of each drawdown or at the conversion date (in the case of the conversion of accrued and unpaid interest).

In August 2022, the Company and Beedie closed a first supplemental loan agreement to extend the maturity date of the loan facility from April 22, 2023, to January 22, 2024. In May 2023, the Company and Beedie closed an additional supplemental loan agreement to further amend the loan facility by, among other things, extending the maturity date to May 10, 2027, increasing the loan facility by C$5.0 million from C$20.0 million to C$25.0 million, and increasing the interest rate from 8.0% to 10.0% per annum.

(Unaudited - Expressed in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated, except for share, ounce, per ounce, and per share amounts)
 

6. LOANS PAYABLE (CONT'D…)

The conversion feature, prepayment options, and availability of credit under the new loan facility (together the "Derivative Loan Liabilities") have all been determined to be non-cash embedded derivatives that are not closely related to the principal amounts due under the loan facility, and as such are bifurcated from the loan facility and the Derivative Loan Liabilities will be accounted for at fair value through profit and loss. The debt portion of the loan facility along with any transaction costs and fees directly attributable to the loan facility will be included in the respective effective interest rate calculation for the debt portion and will be measured at amortized cost.

Effective December 1, 2023, Metalla and Beedie entered into an amended and restated convertible loan facility agreement (the "A&R ‎Loan Facility") to further amend and restate ‎the‎ loan facility by:

i. increasing ‎the ‎maximum aggregate ‎principal amount of the facility from C$25.0 million to C$50.0 million;

ii. amending the conversion price of the ‎C$4.2 million outstanding balance to a conversion price of C$6.00 per share under the A&R Loan Facility;

iii. a further draw down of C$12.2 million with a conversion price of C$6.00 per share to refinance the principal amount due under the Nova Loan Facility (the total C$16.4 million comprised of the C$4.2 million outstanding balance plus the C$12.2 million additional draw down being the "Principal Amount");

iv. a draw down of C$2.0 million from the A&R Loan Facility to refinance the accrued and unpaid interest outstanding under the Nova Loan Facility at the close of the Nova acquisition with a conversion price equal to the market price of the shares of Metalla at the time of conversion (the "Accrued Interest Amount");

v. a draw down of C$0.8 million to refinance the accrued and unpaid fees outstanding under the Nova Loan Facility at the close of the Nova acquisition, which will not be convertible into Common Shares (the "Accrued Fees Amount");

vi. establishing an 18-month period whereby the interest of ‎‎10.0% per ‎annum ‎compounded monthly will be added to the Accrued Interest Amount and ‎on June 1, 2025, reverting to a cash interest payment of 10.0% on a monthly basis, the additional Accrued Interest Amount having the same conversion price equal to the market price of the shares of Metalla at the time of conversion;

vii. incurring an amendment fee of C$0.1 million and any outstanding costs and expenses are to be paid by Metalla; and

viii. updated the ‎‎existing security arrangements to ‎include security to be provided by Nova and certain other subsidiaries of Metalla and Nova for the ‎A&R Loan Facility.

On December 1, 2023, following the changes to the A&R Facility and the drawdown of the C$12.2 million, the Derivative Loan Liabilities were remeasured and were assigned a fair value of $0.9 million, and the debt portion of the Principal Amount was assigned a fair value of $11.2 million for a total face value of $12.1 million (C$16.4 million). The debt portion, including any directly attributable transaction costs and fees will be accounted for at amortized cost using the implied effective interest rate of 14.6%. The Accrued Interest Amount and the Accrued Fees Amount under the A&R Loan Facility are both accounted for as loans payable which were initially valued at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost and are included in the total A&R Loan Facility balance.

(Unaudited - Expressed in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated, except for share, ounce, per ounce, and per share amounts)
 

6. LOANS PAYABLE (CONT'D…)

The Derivative Loan Liabilities were remeasured at March 31, 2025, and were assigned a fair value of $0.1 million (December 31, 2024 - $0.1 million) and were calculated using a convertible debt and swaption pricing model with the following major market inputs and assumptions:

    As at  
    March 31,     December 31,  
    2025     2024  
Maturity date   May 10, 2027     May 10, 2027  
Risk free interest rate   2.33%     2.72%  
Share price   C$4.16     C$3.62  
Expected volatility   48%     54%  
Dividend yield   $Nil     $Nil  
Conversion price   C$6.00      C$6.00   

On February 20, 2024, Beedie elected to convert C$1.5 million of the Accrued Interest Amount into Common Shares at a conversion price of C$3.49 per share, being the closing price of the shares of Metalla on the TSX-V on February 20, 2024, for a total of 429,800 Common Shares which were issued on March 19, 2024.

On January 13, 2025, Beedie elected to convert C$1.5 million of the Accrued Interest Amount into Common Shares at a conversion price of C$3.64 per share, being the closing price of the shares of Metalla on the TSX-V on January 13, 2025, for a total of 412,088 Common Shares which were issued on February 4, 2025. Additionally, on January 31, 2025, the Company made a payment of C$2.0 million to Beedie to reduce all of the Accrued Interest Amount and Accrued Fees Amount to $Nil as of the payment date.

As at March 31, 2025, under the A&R Loan Facility, the Company had C$16.4 million outstanding from the Principal Amount with a conversion price of C$6.00 per share, C$0.3 million outstanding from the Accrued Interest Amount with a conversion price equal to the market price of the shares of Metalla at the time of conversion, and had C$30.9 million available under the A&R Loan Facility with the conversion price to be determined on the date of any future advances.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized finance charges of $0.1 million (March 31, 2024 - $0.1 million) related to costs associated with the A&R Loan Facility, including standby fees on the undrawn portion of the A&R Loan Facility, as well as set up and other associated costs.

Amendment to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements

The Company adopted an amendment to IAS 1 effective January 1, 2024, which requires the A&R Loan Facility to be presented as a current liability rather than a non-current liability even though the maturity date is not within the next twelve months. This is because the lender has the unconditional right to convert the debt into equity at any time, including within the next twelve months. There are no changes to the expected cash outflows from the convertible debt, and no changes to the liquidity of the Company and the maturity date of the debt remains May 10, 2027, however due to the change in IAS 1 the Company is required to disclose the A&R Loan Facility as a current liability.

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company classified its financial instruments as follows:

    As at  
    March 31,     December 31,  
    2025     2024  
Financial assets            
Amortized cost:            
Cash and cash equivalents $ 8,974   $ 9,717  
Royalty and stream receivables   1,557     2,253  
Other receivables   216     263  
Fair value through profit or loss:            
Marketable securities   347     305  
Total financial assets $ 11,094   $ 12,538  
             
Financial liabilities            
Amortized cost:            
Trade and other payables $ 312   $ 1,188  
Loans payable   10,607     12,625  
Acquisition payables   2,285     2,233  
Fair value through profit or loss:            
Derivative loan liabilities   99     68  
Total financial liabilities $ 13,303   $ 16,114  

Fair Value

Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the consolidated statement of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

a) Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

b) Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly; and

c) Level 3 - Inputs for assets and liabilities that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market inputs whenever such inputs exist. A financial instrument is classified to the lowest level of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been considered in measuring fair value.

Cash, accounts receivables (royalty, and stream receivables, and other receivables), and accounts payable (trade and other payables), are carried at amortized cost. Their carrying value approximated their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments or because they reflect amounts that are receivable to the Company without further adjustments. Marketable securities are carried at fair value and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2025, and the year ended December 31, 2024.

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONT'D…)

Loans payable and acquisition payables are carried at amortized cost. The fair values of the Company's loans payable are approximated by their carrying values as the interest rates are comparable to market interest rates. The derivative loan liabilities are carried at fair value and were valued using a swaption model, with inputs that are not observable (Note 6). Therefore, the derivative loan liabilities are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. 

Capital Risk Management

The Company's objectives when managing capital are to provide shareholder returns through maximization of the profitable growth of the business and to maintain a degree of financial flexibility relevant to the underlying operating and metal price risks while safeguarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The capital of the Company consists of share capital. The Board of Directors does not establish a quantitative return on capital criteria for management. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. The Company may issue new shares in order to meet its financial obligations. The management of the Company believes that the capital resources of the Company as at March 31, 2025, are sufficient for its present needs for at least the next twelve months. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from cash deposits, as well as credit exposures to counterparties of outstanding receivables and committed transactions. There is no significant concentration of credit risk other than cash deposits. The Company's cash deposits are primarily held with a Canadian chartered bank. Receivables include value added tax due from the Canadian government. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements represents the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk. The Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk and overall, the Company's credit risk has not declined from the prior year.

Liquidity Risk

The Company strives to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from royalty interests, its holdings of cash, and its committed liabilities. The maturities of the Company's loan liabilities are disclosed in Note 6. All current liabilities with the exception of the convertible loan facility are settled within one year. The convertible loan facility has been disclosed as a current liability upon the adoption of the amendments to IAS 1 (see Note 6), however any settlement of the liability within the next twelve months would be upon conversion into Common Shares and is not expected to be settled in cash within the next twelve months.

Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. The Company primarily operates in Canada, Australia, Argentina, Mexico, and the United States and incurs expenditures in currencies other than United States dollars. Thereby, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposure. The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations. Based on the above net exposure, as at March 31, 2025, and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 1% depreciation or appreciation of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Argentinian peso, and Mexican peso would result in an increase/decrease in the Company's pre-tax income or loss of approximately $0.1 million.
