PERFORMANCE MEASURES

Adjusted earnings per shareThroughout this report a number of financial measures are used to assess the Group's performance. The measures are defined as follows:

Portfolio contribution

Portfolio contribution represents the funds received or receivable from the Group's underlying royalty related assets which is taken into account by the Board when determining dividend levels.

Adjusted earnings represents the Group's underlying operating performance from core activities. Adjusted earnings is the profit/ (loss) attributable to equity holders, plus royalties received from royalty financial instruments carried at fair value through profit or loss, less all valuation movements and impairments (which are non-cash adjustments that arise primarily due to changes in commodity prices), together with amortisation charges, foreign exchange gains/(losses), any associated deferred tax and any profit or loss on non-core asset disposals.

Portfolio contribution is royalty and stream related revenue (refer to note 5) plus royalties received or receivable from royalty financial instruments carried at fair value through profit or loss ('FVTPL') and principal repayment received under the Denison financing agreement (refer to note 21). Refer to note 35 to the financial statements for portfolio contribution.

Adjusted earnings divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue gives adjusted earnings per share. Refer to note 12 to the financial statements for adjusted earnings/(loss) per share.

Dividend cover

Operating profit/(loss)

Dividend cover is calculated as the number of times adjusted earnings per share exceeds the dividend per share. Refer to note 13 to the financial statements for dividend cover.

Operating profit/(loss) represents the Group's underlying operating performance from its royalty and stream interests. Operating profit/(loss) is royalty income, less amortisation of royalties and operating expenses, and excludes impairments, revaluations and gain/(loss) on disposals. Operating profit/(loss) reconciles to 'operating profit/(loss) before impairments, revaluations and gain/(losses) on disposals' on the income statement.

Free cash flow per share

Free cash flow per share is calculated by dividing net cash generated from operating activities, plus proceeds from the disposal of non-core assets and any cash considered as repayment of principal, less finance costs, by the weighted average number of shares in issue. Refer to note 34 to the financial statements for free cash flow per share.

ROYALTIES AND STREAMS EXPLAINED

GRR: GROSS REVENUE ROYALTY

OVER THE PAST EIGHT YEARS ANGLO PACIFIC HAS TRANSFORMED ITS COMMODITY EXPOSURE

Towards 21st century commodities and driving global decarbonisation. Our 15 principal royalty and streaming related assets across 10 commodities.

Read more in our business review.

A natural resources royalty is a non-operating interest in a project that provides the royalty holder with the right to a proportion of revenue, profit or production.

Historically, royalties originated as a result of the sale of a mineral property, allowing the seller to retain some ongoing economic participation in the property. However, an increasing number of royalties are now created directly by operators and developers as a source of finance. A royalty holder is not generally obligated to contribute towards operating or capital costs, nor environmental or reclamation liabilities.

TYPES OF NATURAL RESOURCES ROYALTIES AND STREAMS

The Group's royalties are mostly revenue or production-based royalties. Typically, these royalties are either Gross Revenue or Net Smelter Return royalties, each of which can be described in more detail opposite.

A GRR entitles the royalty holder to a fixed portion of the gross revenues generated from the sales of mineral production from a property. In calculating a GRR payment, deductions, if any, applied by the property owner to reduce the royalty payment are usually minimal, and GRRs are therefore the simplest form of royalty to account for and implement.

NSR: NET SMELTER RETURN ROYALTY

NSR royalties entitle the holder to a fixed portion of the net revenues received from a smelter or refinery from the sales of mineral production from a property, after the deduction of certain offsite realisation costs. Typical realisation costs include those related to transportation, insurance, smelting and refining. These deductions are generally higher in base metals mines due to the semi-finished product, such as concentrate, often being produced at the mine site, when compared to precious metals mines, which produce a nearly-finished product on site

PRIMARY VERSUS SECONDARY ROYALTIES

Primary royalties are entered into between a royalty company and the property owner directly, where the property owner grants a royalty to the royalty company in return for one or more up-front cash payments from the royalty company. In contrast, secondary royalties are existing royalties that are acquired from a third party with no payment made to the owner of the underlying property.

METAL STREAMS

A metal stream is an agreement that provides, in exchange for an upfront payment, the right to purchase all or a portion of one or more metals produced from a mine, at a price determined for the life of the stream. Streams, whilst providing similar outcomes for Anglo Pacific, are not royalties because they do not constitute an interest in land and there is an ongoing cash payment required to purchase the physical metal. However, a stream holder is not ordinarily required to contribute towards operating or capital costs, nor environmental or reclamation liabilities.

INNOVATIVE STRUCTURES

Our primary focus is on royalty and streaming transactions, however, we will also review alternative structures that deliver superior long-term cash flows. An example would be the Denison financing arrangement executed in 2017 which was structured as a long-term loan with a separate stream element, deriving income from a tolling agreement on the McClean Lake uranium mill, which processes ore from the world class Cigar Lake uranium operation in Canada. We will always look for ways of gaining exposure to tier one natural resource projects and sometimes this will involve creative thinking and structuring to support our main objective of acquiring royalties and streams.
