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

Key operating and financial metrics for the Company include:

    Three months ended  
    March 31,       March 31,  
    2026       2025  
Revenue from royalty interests(1) $ 3,064     $ 1,721  
Net income (loss) $ 111     $ (731 )
Adjusted EBITDA(2) $ 1,863     $ 866  
Total attributable GEOs(2)   660       628  
Average realized price per attributable GEO(2) $ 4,871     $ 2,855  

(1) Includes fixed royalty payments.

(2) For the methodology used to calculate these measures see Non-IFRS Financial Measures.

OUTLOOK

In 2026, the Company expects to receive or accrue payments on 3,500 to 4,500 attributable GEOs(1)(2). The lower end of the range reflects current operating assumptions and known constraints, while the upper end incorporates the potential impact of improved grades, continued ramp-up of key assets, and contributions from new sources of cash flow. Primary sources of cash flows from royalties and streams for 2026 are expected to include Tocantinzinho, Wharf, Aranzazu, Endeavor, La Encantada, La Guitarra, and based on operator disclosures, the Company also expects to receive initial cash flows in 2026 from Amalgamated Kirkland and La Parrilla.

Attributable GEOs are expected to be weighted toward the second half of 2026, reflecting the timing of higher-grade production and the continued ramp-up of key assets.

Achievement of guidance will be influenced by the following:

  • Wharf deliveries are expected to be lower in the first half of 2026, with crushing capacity anticipated to be restored in the second quarter of 2026;
  • Tocantinzinho deliveries are expected to be more heavily weighted to the second half of the year, as higher grade ore is scheduled to be mined under the mine plan;
  • Deliveries from Endeavor are expected to increase progressively over the course of the year as operations continue to ramp up; and
  • Relative price performance of gold versus other commodities and the resulting impact on GEO calculation.

(1) For the methodology used to calculate attributable GEOs, see Non-IFRS Financial Measures.

(2) The pricing used to calculate the attributable GEOs include Gold $4,500/oz, Silver $75/oz, and Copper $5/lb.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026
(Expressed in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated, except for share, ounce, per ounce, and per share amounts)
 

Metalla accrued 253 GEOs from Tocantinzinho for the first quarter of 2026.

Metalla holds a 0.75% GVR royalty on Tocantinzinho.

Wharf

On May 6, 2026, Coeur Mining, Inc. ("Coeur") reported first quarter gold production of 9.8 koz at Wharf. Production for the quarter was lower than the previous quarter due to the impact of fire damage to portions of the tertiary crusher which occurred in November 2025. Crushing during the period was completed via a temporary mobile crusher, with a second temporary crusher added early in the second quarter. Coeur reported that commissioning of the repaired crusher was now complete and is expected to allow a return to normal crushing and placement rates for the balance of 2026. Exploration expenditures during the first quarter were $3 million, exploration in 2026 is expected to build on the 2025 expansion and infill drilling at Juno and North Foley with the aim of adding to both Reserves and Resources. Other targets, including Annie Creek and Summit Flat, are also expected to undergo expansion and infill drilling, while scout drilling is expected to commence to continue development of the inferred pipeline. Coeur also reiterated its previous guidance for 2026 of 72-90 koz gold production and $10-$12 million on exploration expenses.

On February 17, 2026, Coeur announced an updated NI 43-101 compliant technical report for Wharf that nearly doubled the mine life to approximately 12 years. Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves at Wharf increased by 65% to 1.25 Moz of gold at a grade of 0.71 g/t, contained within 55.1 Mt, and Measured and Indicated Resources of 1.19 Moz gold at a grade of 0.6 g/t, contained within 61.8 Mt. Coeur stated that Wharf remains positioned for additional meaningful mine life extensions, with a total Inferred resource estimate of 72.9 Mt at 0.63 g/t for 1.49 Moz gold.

Metalla accrued 115 GEOs from Wharf for the first quarter of 2026.

Metalla holds a 1.0% GVR royalty on the gold produced at Wharf mine.

Aranzazu

On April 10, 2026, Aura Minerals Inc. ("Aura") reported first quarter production from Aranzazu of 15,694 GEOs (as defined by Aura), marking a 17% decrease over the fourth quarter of 2025, resulting mainly from metal prices as higher gold and silver prices negatively impacted the conversion to GEOs (as defined by Aura). Aura stated that the results were in line with their mine plan and expects production to increase in the back half of the year.

Metalla accrued 133 GEOs from Aranzazu for the first quarter of 2026.

Metalla holds a 1.0% NSR royalty on Aranzazu.

Endeavor

On April 14, 2026, Polymetals Resources Ltd. ("Polymetals") reported silver production of 547,302 oz, zinc production of 1,917 kt, and lead production of 1,148 kt in the first quarter of 2026. A total of 59,264 tonnes were mined and processed from the Main Lode in January and February, with mill maintenance conducted in March. Access development to higher-grade Main Lode stopes was advanced during the quarter with planned production in the June quarter. Polymetals also reported that it expects continuous mining of the Upper North Lode ("UNL") at a rate of 20,000 tonnes per month for at least 18 months from May 2026.

On March 9, 2026, Polymetals reported that mining of high-grade silver ore from the UNL at the Endeavor mine commenced in February, with stoping now underway and about 11,000 tonnes mined to date. Polymetals also stated that, given the exceptional value of the UNL material, it plans to undertake a trial shipment of 30,000 tonnes of ore directly to a smelter to take advantage of highly attractive smelter terms and strong demand for silver. Direct shipment of ore has the potential to enhance realized metal value relative to concentrate production.

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

Below are updates during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and subsequent period to certain development stage assets, based on information publicly filed by the applicable project owner:

Côté-Gosselin

On May 5, 2026, IAMGOLD reported it plans to release an updated technical report prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 in the fourth quarter of 2026 that is expected to outline a larger scale Côté gold mine with a conceptual mine plan including both the Côté and Gosselin zones. The technical report is expected to envision an expansion of the processing plant from 36,000 tpd to 50,000 - 55,000 tpd, with a mine plan targeting a subset of the combined mineral inventory that currently measures 18.2 million ounces Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources and 2.2 million ounces Inferred Mineral Resources. IAMGOLD also stated that it will publish an updated Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimate for Côté gold in the second quarter of 2026 to incorporate the final infill holes at the end of last year with the goal to further upgrade ounces to Measured and Indicated.

IAMGOLD also reported that following the completion of the delineation diamond drilling program in 2025, 2026 activities will include 10,000 m of exploration drilling to test the north and north-east area of the Gosselin zone, of which 4,400 m were drilled in the first quarter. The results of the 2025 Gosselin drilling program will be included in the updated Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources estimate expected in the second quarter of 2026. The estimate will inform the planned updated technical report which will consider a larger scale Côté gold mine with a conceptual mine plan targeting both the Côté and Gosselin zones.

Metalla holds a 1.5% NSR royalty that covers substantially all of the Gosselin Mineral Resource estimate and less than 10% of the Côté Mineral Reserves and Resources estimate in the northeastern portion of the Côté pit. The royalty provides significant leverage to the advancement and potential development of the Gosselin deposit.

Taca Taca

On February 19, 2026, First Quantum announced the filing of an updated technical report for the Taca Taca project prepared in accordance with NI 43-101, with an effective date of December 31, 2025. The findings of the technical report support the development of Taca Taca as an open pit mine with an initial processing capacity of 40 Mtpa with an expansion to 60 Mtpa in the fifth year of operations. Highlights of the technical report include:

  • average annual copper production of 291 kt in the first ten years and life-of-mine average annual production of 209 kt;
  • average annual gold production of 133 koz in the first ten years and life-of-mine average annual production of 96 koz;
  • initial mine life of 35 years;
  • pre-stripping and construction activities expected to take approximately 3.5 years;
  • Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves total 1,990 Mt grading 0.42% copper and 0.09 g/t gold, containing an estimated 8,429 kt of copper and 5,532 koz gold; and
  • Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources total 2,078 Mt grading 0.42% copper and 0.09 g/t gold, containing an estimated 8,716 kt of copper and 5,715 koz gold.

First Quantum also stated that next steps at Taca Taca include approval of the main permit required for development of the project, the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment ("ESIA"). First Quantum continues to work with the Province of Salta on the ESIA and approval is expected in the first half of 2026. First Quantum will continue to work towards an application to the RIGI regime, an incentive regime for large investments created by the Argentine government.

Metalla holds a 0.42% NSR royalty on Taca Taca subject to a buyback based on the amount of Proven Reserves in a feasibility study multiplied by the prevailing market prices of all applicable commodities.

Changes in revenues, net income (loss), and cash flows on a quarter-by-quarter basis are affected primarily by changes in production levels and the related commodity prices at producing mines, acquisitions of royalties and streams, as well as the commencement or cessation of mining operations at mines the Company has under royalty and stream agreements.

A summary of material changes impacting the Company's quarterly results are discussed below:

  • For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net income increased compared to the prior period primarily due to lower general and administrative expenses which are typically the highest in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year.
  • For the three months ended December 31, 2025, revenue decreased compared to the prior period primarily due to a decrease in revenue from Endeavor, due to a safety incident and a temporary suspension of operations. Net loss increased compared to the prior period due to a decrease in revenue and higher general and administrative expenses, which are typically higher for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year.
  • For the three months ended September 30, 2025, revenue increased compared to the prior period primarily due to the commencement of payment from Endeavor. Net income increased compared to the prior period primarily due to the increase in revenue and not incurring the one-time charges in the prior period related to the retirement of the convertible loan facility.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026
(Expressed in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated, except for share, ounce, per ounce, and per share amounts)
 
  • For the three months ended June 30, 2025, revenue increased compared to the prior period primarily due to increases from Tocantinzinho, Wharf, and Aranzazu. Net loss increased primarily due to the loss on extinguishment of the convertible loan facility of $0.7 million and $0.5 million in foreign exchange losses upon extinguishment of the C$ denominated convertible loan facility, offset partially by the increase in revenue.
  • For the three months ended March 31, 2025, revenue decreased compared to the prior period primarily due to lower amounts from Wharf and Tocantinzinho. Net loss decreased due to lower general and administrative expenses, and lower share-based payments compared to the prior period, offset partially by lower revenues and foreign exchange gains compared to the prior period.
  • For the three months ended December 31, 2024, revenue increased compared to the prior period primarily due to the increase in revenue from Tocantinzinho as it ramped up to full production in the period.
  • For the three months ended September 30, 2024, revenue increased, and net loss decreased compared to the prior period primarily due to the start of payments from both Tocantinzinho and La Guitarra.
  • For the three months ended June 30, 2024, revenue decreased due to lower amounts compared to prior periods from Wharf and El Realito. Net loss decreased due to lower general and administrative expenses, and higher mark-to-market gains on loan liabilities compared to the prior period, offset partially by lower gross profit compared to the prior period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 2026

The Company earned net income of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 ("Q1 2026"), compared with a net loss of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 ("Q1 2025").

Significant items impacting the change in net income included the following:

  • an increase in revenue from $1.7 million in Q1 2025 to $3.1 million in Q1 2026, primarily due to increases in revenue earned in the current period from Tocantinzinho, Aranzazu, Wharf, and due to the addition of revenue from Endeavor which had not started in the comparative period;
  • an increase in general and administrative expenses from $0.9 million in Q1 2025 to $1.5 million in Q1 2026, primarily due to higher compensation and corporate administration costs; and
  • an increase in tax expense from less than $0.1 million in Q1 2025 to $0.2 million in Q1 2026, primarily related to higher revenues earned in the current period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company considers items included in shareholders' equity and debt as capital. The Company's objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company's cash balance as at March 31, 2026, was $10.0 million (December 31, 2025 - $9.8 million) and its working capital was $10.0 million (December 31, 2025 - $9.0 million). The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.

The Company believes it will have access to sufficient resources to undertake its current business plan for at least the next twelve months. In order to meet its capital requirements, the Company's primary sources of cash flows are expected to be from the Tocantinzinho, Aranzazu, Wharf, Endeavor, La Encantada, and La Guitarra royalties, and drawdowns under the revolving credit facility. The Company may also raise funds by entering into new debt agreements, selling non-core assets, or issuance of shares through public and/or private placements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, cash increased by $0.2 million. The increase was due to cash provided by operating activities of $1.0 million, cash used in investing activities of $1.1 million, and cash generated by financing activities of $0.2 million. Exchange rate changes had an impact on cash of less than $0.1 million.

Upon close, the Company drew down $13.1 million from the RCF and incurred transaction costs of $1.1 million which will be amortized over the term of the loan.

The RCF will be available to finance acquisitions and investments, and for general corporate purposes. The RCF has a maturity date of June 24, 2028, which is extendable annually for one year on the mutual agreement of Metalla, BMO, and NBF. Drawdowns under the RCF can either be USD base rate advances which will bear an interest rate equal to a base rate plus applicable margin, or can be term benchmark advances which will bear an interest rate equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, plus an applicable margin of 2.50% to 3.50% per annum depending on the Company's net leverage ratio. The undrawn portion of the RCF is subject to standby fee of 0.56% to 0.79% per annum depending on the Company's net leverage ratio.

The RCF is subject to standard conditions and covenants which include a net leverage ratio, an interest coverage ratio, and a minimum liquidity amount. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as at the last day of the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The RCF is secured by a first-ranking security interest over all present and future property and assets of the Company and its material subsidiaries.

As at March 31, 2026, the amount drawn on the RCF was $13.1 million, the availability under the RCF was $26.9 million, and the transaction costs, net of accumulated amortization were $0.8 million.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, cash provided by operating activities was $1.0 million and was primarily the result of net income of $0.1 million, increased by $1.5 million for items not affecting cash, and partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in non-cash working capital items. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash provided by operating activities was $0.6 million and was primarily the result of a net loss of $0.7 million, partially offset by $1.5 million for items not affecting cash, and a $0.2 million decrease in non-cash working capital items.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, cash used by the Company's investing activities was $1.1 million and was primarily related to payments in the period to settle acquisition payables partially offset from payments of dividends from Silverback. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash provided by the Company's investing activities was $0.1 million and was primarily related to payments of dividends from Silverback.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, cash provided by the Company's financing activities was $0.2 million, and was primarily related to proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $0.5 million offset by the payment of interest of $0.2 million and finance charges of less than $0.1 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash used in the Company's financing activities was $1.4 million, and was primarily related to payment of interest of $0.8 million and payment of finance charges of $0.6 million.

Dividends

The Company's long-term goal is to pay out dividends with a target rate of up to 50% of the annualized operating cash flow of the Company, however, the timing and amount of the payment of a dividend is determined by the Board of Directors by taking into account many factors, including (but not limited to), an increase and stabilization in operating cash flows, and the potential capital requirements related to acquisitions. Going forward, the Board of Directors of the Company will continually assess the Company's business requirements and projected cash flows to make a determination on whether to pay dividends in respect of a particular quarter during its financial year.

Requirement for Additional Financing

Management believes that the Company's current operational requirements and capital investments can be funded from existing cash, cash generated from operations, and funds available under the RCF. If future circumstances dictate an increased cash requirement and the Company elects not to delay, limit, or eliminate some of its plans, the Company may raise additional funds through debt financing, the sale of non-core assets, the issuance of hybrid debt-equity securities, or additional equity securities. The Company has relied on equity financings, and loans for its acquisitions, capital expansions, and operations. Capital markets may not be receptive to offerings of new equity from treasury or debt, whether by way of private placements or public offerings. The Company's growth and success may be dependent on external sources of financing which may not be available on acceptable terms.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

The aggregate value of transactions and outstanding balances relating to key management personnel were as follows:

Key management compensation for the Company consists of remuneration paid to management (which includes Brett Heath, the Chief Executive Officer, Jason Cho, the President, and Saurabh Handa, the Chief Financial Officer) for services rendered and compensation for members of the Board of Directors (which includes Lawrence Roulston, Alexander Molyneux, James Beeby, Amanda Johnston, and Chris Beer in their capacity as directors of the Company).

The aggregate value of transactions relating to key management were as follows:

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Classification

The Company classified its financial instruments as follows:

    As at  
    March 31,       December 31,   
    2026       2025  
Financial assets              
Amortized cost:              
Cash and cash equivalents $ 9,971     $ 9,794  
Royalty and stream receivables   2,932       4,312  
Other receivables   86       67  
Fair value through profit or loss:              
Marketable securities   405       260  
Total financial assets $ 13,394     $ 14,433  
               
Financial liabilities              
Amortized cost:              
Trade and other payables $ 1,953     $ 3,966  
Revolving credit facility   12,264       12,176  
Acquisition payables   2,148       2,446  
Total financial liabilities $ 16,365     $ 18,588  

The Company's activities expose it to financial risks of varying degrees of significance which could affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives for growth and shareholder returns. The principal financial risks to which the Company is exposed are credit risk, liquidity risk, and currency risk. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework and reviews the Company's policies on an ongoing basis.

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 and cash equivalents, 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, included in prepaid expenses and other on the Company's statement of financial position, 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, 2026, and the year ended December 31, 2025.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026
(Expressed in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated, except for share, ounce, per ounce, and per share amounts)
 

The RCF and acquisition payables are carried at amortized cost. The RCF is classified within Level 2 because its applicable interest rate includes an adjustment based on the Company's net leverage ratio and a credit spread adjustment. As at March 31, 2026, the fair value of the RCF was $11.5 million (December 31, 2025 - $11.4 million). In prior periods, the Company had derivative loan liabilities embedded in the A&R Loan Facility that were carried at fair value and were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, with the retirement of the A&R Loan Facility on June 24, 2025, the Company no longer has any derivative loan liabilities.

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 goods and service tax refunds due from the Canadian federal 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 significantly from the prior year.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk by continuing to monitor forecasted and actual cash flows. The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company's normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis and its development plans. The Company strives to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from royalty and stream interests, its cash on-hand, and its committed liabilities. The maturities of the Company's loan liabilities are disclosed in Note 5 of the Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2026. All current liabilities are settled within one year.

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, 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, 2026, and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 1% depreciation or appreciation of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, and Mexican peso would result in an increase/decrease in the Company's pre-tax loss of less than $0.1 million.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument or cash flows associated with the instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The only financial instrument that is subject to interest rate risk is the RCF, which bears a variable interest rate when drawn. The undrawn portion of the RCF is subject to standby charges. There is no significant impact on the Company's pre-tax loss with a 1% increase or decrease in the interest rate charged on the RCF as at March 31, 2026.

Commodity Price Risk

The Company's royalties, streams, and other interests are subject to fluctuations from changes in market prices of the underlying commodities. The market prices of gold, copper, and silver are the primary drivers of the Company's profitability and ability to generate free cash flow. All of the Company's future revenue is not hedged in order to provide shareholders with full exposure to changes in the market prices of these commodities.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company has included, in this document, certain performance measures, including (a) attributable GEOs, (b) average cash cost per attributable GEO, (c) average realized price per attributable GEO, (d) operating cash margin per attributable GEO, which is based on the two preceding measures, and (e) Adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of these non-IFRS measures 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. These non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, and other companies may calculate these measures differently.

Attributable Gold Equivalent Ounces (GEOs)

Attributable GEOs are composed of gold ounces attributable to the Company, calculated by taking the revenue earned by the Company in the period from payable gold, silver, copper and other metal ounces attributable to the Company divided by the average London fix price of gold for the relevant period. In prior periods the GEOs included an amount calculated by taking the cash received or accrued by the Company in the period from the derivative royalty asset divided by the average London fix gold price for the relevant period. 

The Company presents attributable GEOs as it believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance in comparison to other streaming and royalty companies in the precious metals mining industry who present results on a similar basis.

Average Cash Cost Per Attributable GEO

Average cash cost per attributable GEO is calculated by dividing the Company's total cash cost of sales, excluding depletion by the number of attributable GEOs. The Company presents average cash cost per attributable GEO as it believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance in comparison to other streaming and royalty companies in the precious metals mining industry who present results on a similar basis.

The Company's average cash cost per attributable GEO was:

    Three months ended  
    March 31,       March 31,  
    2026       2025  
Cost of sales for NLGM(1) $ 15     $ 7  
Total cash cost of sales   15       7  
Total attributable GEOs   660       628  
Average cash cost per attributable GEO $ 23     $ 11  

(1) Adjusted for the Company's proportionate share of NLGM held by Silverback.

Average Realized Price and Operating Cash Margin Per attributable GEO

Average realized price per attributable GEO is calculated by dividing the Company's revenue, excluding any revenue earned from fixed royalty payments, and including cash received or accrued in the period from derivative royalty assets, by the number of attributable GEOs.

The Company presents average realized price per attributable GEO as it believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance in comparison to other streaming and royalty companies in the precious metals mining industry that present results on a similar basis.

The Company's average realized price and operating cash margin per attributable GEO were:

    Three months ended  
    March 31,       March 31,  
    2026       2025  
Royalty revenue (excluding fixed royalty payments) $ 3,064     $ 1,719  
Revenue from NLGM(1)   151       74  
Sales from stream and royalty interests   3,215       1,793  
Total attributable GEOs sold   660       628  
Average realized price per attributable GEO $ 4,871     $ 2,855  
               
Operating cash margin per attributable GEO(2) $ 4,848     $ 2,844  

(1) Adjusted for the Company's proportionate share of NLGM held by Silverback.

(2) Operating cash margin per attributable GEO is calculated by subtracting from the average realized price per attributable GEO, the average cash cost per attributable GEO.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure which excludes from net income taxes, finance costs, depletion, impairment charges, foreign currency gains/losses, share based payments, and non-recurring items. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the Company's operating performance, to plan and forecast its operations, and assess leverage levels and liquidity measures. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA as it believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance in comparison to other streaming and royalty companies in the precious metals mining industry who present results on a similar basis. However, Adjusted EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss) or cash flow provided by operating activities as determined under IFRS.

The Company's Adjusted EBITDA was:

    Three months ended  
    March 31,       March 31,  
    2026       2025  
Net income (loss) $ 111     $ (731 )
Adjusted for:              
Interest expense    349       448  
Finance charges   37       80  
Income tax provision   186       25  
Depletion   364       497  
Foreign exchange loss   36       1  
Share-based payments (1)   780       546  
Adjusted EBITDA $ 1,863     $ 866  

(1) Includes stock options and restricted share units.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformance with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. The Company's material accounting policies and estimates are disclosed in Note 2 of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management, including the CEO and CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate Internal Control over Financial Reporting ("ICFR") and Disclosure Controls and Procedures ("DCP"), as those terms are defined in NI 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings, for the Company.

The Company's ICFR and DCP 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 of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with the Company's policies and procedures.

There have been no changes in the Company's ICFR during the three months ended March 31, 2026, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the CEO and CFO, management will continue to monitor and evaluate the design and effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, and may make modifications from time to time as considered necessary.

Limitations of Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the control. The design of any systems of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

RISK FACTORS

The Company's ability to generate revenues and profits from its natural resource properties is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. For a full discussion on the risk factors affecting the Company, please refer to the Company's Annual Information Form dated March 25, 2026, which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedar.com and in the Company's Form 40-F filed with the SEC and available on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.

QUALIFIED PERSONS

The technical information contained in this MD&A has been reviewed and approved by Charles Beaudry, geologist M.Sc., member of the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario and of the Ordre des Géologues du Québec. Mr. Beaudry is a Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101.

TECHNICAL AND THIRD-PARTY INFORMATION

Metalla has limited, if any, information on or access to the properties on which Metalla (or any of its subsidiaries) holds a royalty, stream or other interest and has no input into exploration, development or mining plans, decisions or activities on any such properties. Metalla is dependent on (i) the operators of the mines or properties and their qualified persons to provide technical or other information to Metalla, or (ii) publicly available information to prepare disclosure pertaining to properties and operations on the mines or properties on which Metalla holds a royalty, stream or other interest, and generally has limited or no ability to independently verify such information. Although Metalla does not have any knowledge that such information may not be accurate, there can be no assurance that such third-party information is complete or accurate. Some information publicly reported by operators may relate to a larger property than the area covered by Metalla's royalty, stream or other interests. Metalla's royalty, stream or other interests can cover less than 100% and sometimes only a portion of the publicly reported mineral reserves, resources and production of a property.
