Topaz completed the previously announced NEBC Montney tuck-in royalty acquisition from Tourmaline on September 30, 2025 which fully aligns Topaz to each of Tourmaline’s future growth projects under their multi-year NEBC Montney build-out plan.
Third Quarter 2025 Update
Financial Overview
Topaz generated total revenue and other income of $76.4 million, 49% from crude and heavy oil royalties, 20% from natural gas and NGL royalties, and 31% from the infrastructure portfolio.
Cash flow of $74.8 million was 12% higher than Q3 2024 attributed to 16% higher processing revenue and other income and a 13% overall reduction in operating and interest costs.
Topaz’s Q3 2025 FCF Margin of 95% realized a meaningful increase from Q3 2024 (88%) attributed to 30% lower operating expense, a 24% reduction in Topaz’s effective borrowing rate under the Company’s credit facility and an $8.7 million hedging gain ($0.06 per share(2)) realized during the third quarter.
Paid $52.3 million in dividends ($0.34 per share and 70% payout ratio(1)) which represents a 5.3% trailing annualized yield to the Q3 2025 average share price.(8)
Topaz exited Q3 2025 with $535.4 million of net debt(1) (1.6x net debt to Q3 2025 annualized EBITDA(1)). As at November 3, 2025, Topaz has over $0.4 billion of available capacity under the facility.(6)
Royalty Activity, Commodity Pricing & Hedging
Q3 2025 average royalty production of 21,596 boe/d(4) includes natural gas production of 89.6 mmcf/d and 6,661 bbl/d of oil and liquids production which increased 17% and 11%, respectively from Q3 2024.
During the quarter, Topaz generated $52.3 million total royalty revenue (99% operating margin(1)) and an average realized price of $26.32 per boe (before hedging). Topaz’s $8.7 million Q3 2025 realized hedging gain includes a $7.1 million gain attributed to natural gas contracts which represents a 144% premium relative to Topaz’s Q3 2025 realized natural gas price. The third quarter natural gas price volatility is largely attributable to third-party maintenance activity that restricted natural gas transmission line flow and WCSB export, particularly during the month of September. The maintenance activity and physical egress restrictions are expected to be alleviated during the fourth quarter. For the fourth quarter of 2025, approximately 31% of natural gas is hedged at a weighted average fixed price of C$3.06 per mcf, and approximately 30% of oil and total liquids is hedged at a weighted average floor price of C$97.64 per barrel.(11)
Topaz estimates that operators invested $0.5 billion to $0.6 billion of development capital across the Company’s royalty acreage in Q3 2025 ($2.0 billion to $2.1 billion YTD 2025)(3), with drilling activity (161 gross wells spud(7)) diversified as follows: 61 Clearwater, 23 NEBC & Alberta Montney, 38 Deep Basin, 12 Peace River 12, SE Saskatchewan, 9 Central AB, and 6 Manitoba.
During Q3 2025, 184 total gross wells were brought on production(7) and at September 30, 2025, 94 gross wells were drilled but not yet completed (representing 58% of Q3 2025 new wells drilled).
Topaz estimates that over 30% of its Clearwater royalty production is currently stabilized under waterflood. Waterflood application over the past four years has contributed to a significant decrease in the base decline rate attributed to the developed Clearwater reserves, increased the oil recovery rates, and together, reduced operator maintenance capital required to sustain production. Through 2025, this operator capital has been re-allocated and resulted in the identification of incremental zones and increased waterflood application across Topaz’s acreage. Topaz’s Clearwater royalty production achieved a new record of 3,555 boe/d(13) (92% oil) during Q3 2025, representing a 12% increase from Q3 2024.
Based on planned operator drilling activity, Topaz expects between 27 and 31 active drilling rigs on the Company’s royalty acreage through the fourth quarter of 2025.(3)
Infrastructure Activity
During Q3 2025, Topaz generated $24.2 million in processing revenue and other income which increased 16% from the prior year. The infrastructure assets generated 99% utilization and Topaz incurred $1.5 million in operating expenses, providing a 94% operating margin.(1) Topaz incurred $1.1 million in maintenance-related capital expenditures (before capitalized G&A).
Acquisition Activity
Topaz completed the previously announced NEBC Montney tuck-in royalty acquisition from Tourmaline on September 30, 2025 for $71.7 million. The acquisition provides a new royalty interest over approximately 134,000 gross acres (over 65% undeveloped with 410 tier one future Montney drilling locations identified), multi-zone upside optionality, and fully aligns Topaz to each of Tourmaline’s future growth projects under their multi-year NEBC Montney build-out plan. YTD 2025, Topaz has completed $115.2 million of royalty and infrastructure acquisitions in the Montney, $72.5 million of which was funded through YTD 2025 Excess FCF and $42.7 million using the Company’s existing credit facilities.
Dividend
Topaz’s Board approved the Company’s fourth quarter 2025 dividend of $0.34 per share(10) which is expected to be paid on December 31, 2025, to shareholders of record on December 15, 2025. The quarterly cash dividend is designated as an “eligible dividend” for Canadian income tax purposes.
Topaz’s 2025e dividend remains sustainable down to $0.01 per mcf natural gas and US$55.00 per bbl crude oil(3) attributable to: (i) the Company’s high-margin, stable infrastructure revenue which represents 43% of the 2025e dividend(3); (ii) hedging strategy and financial derivative contracts in place(11); (iii) the stabilized production supported by secondary recovery in Topaz’s Clearwater and Weyburn royalty areas; and (iv) the quality and financial strength of Topaz’s asset portfolio and strategic partners’ planned development activity.
Guidance Outlook
2025e Guidance Estimates Reconfirmed
Topaz reconfirms the Company’s 2025e guidance estimates(3)(14) of average annual royalty production between 21,000 boe/d and 23,000 boe/d(3)(4) and processing revenue and other income between $88.0 and $92.0 million.(3) Based on estimated commodity pricing(5), Topaz expects to exit 2025 with net debt between $500.0 and $510.0 million(3)(12) (net debt to EBITDA 1.5x(1)(3)), before consideration of incremental acquisitions, and generate a modest payout ratio at the lower end of the 60% – 90% long-term targeted payout range.
