Non-IFRS Measures:
Nomad has included certain performance measures in this press release that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), including (i) adjusted net income (loss), (ii) cash operating margin attributable to Nomad and (iii) cash cost of sales.
These non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, and other companies may calculate these measures differently. 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.
In addition to the non-IFRS performance measures described below, the Company's royalty and stream revenue are converted to GEOs by dividing revenue for a specific period by the average realized gold price per ounce for the gold stream revenue and by dividing revenue by the average gold price for the gold royalty revenue, for the respective period. Silver earned from royalty and stream agreements are converted to gold equivalent ounces by multiplying the silver ounces by the average silver price for the period and dividing by the average gold price for the period. The Company's gross amount received or receivable from the Caserones copper NSR royalty is converted to GEOs by dividing the dividend received or receivable before taxes for a specific period by the average gold price, for the respective period.
Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are calculated by removing the effects of the non-cash cost of sales related to the Premier Gold Prepay Loan, the non-cash change in fair value of the conversion option for the Deferred Payment to Yamana Gold Inc. and the non-cash change in fair value of the Premier Gold Prepay Loan and the deferred income tax recovery related to stream interests subject to the reverse take-over transaction. The Company believes that, in addition to measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, management and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance.
Cash operating margin attributable to Nomad is calculated by subtracting the cash cost of sales from the total revenue adjusted to remove revenue attributable to non-controlling shareholders. The Company presents cash operating margin attributable to Nomad as management and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance in comparison to other streaming and royalty companies who present results on a similar basis as well as to evaluate the Company's ability to generate cash flow.
Cash cost of sales is calculated by subtracting depletion and non-cash costs of sales related to the Premier Gold Prepay Loan from the total cost of sales. In addition to measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, management and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance and ability to generate cash flow in comparison with other streaming and royalty companies in the precious metals mining industry who present similar measures of performance.
