INSIGHT

Record Year Validates Royalty Business Model

Q4 alone had 4,430 GEOs, $18.4M revenue and massive margin expansion validating the royalty model.

INSIGHT

2026 Guidance Implies Big Revenue Step Change

Guidance for 2026 is 20,000–23,000 GEOs implying well over $100M revenue at recent prices.
Management expects ~93% margins because royalties avoid upstream operating costs and capital spend.

ADVICE

Allocate Capital To Strong Operators

Focus capital on high-quality operating partners to capture upside without operational risk.
Royalties benefit from operators' expansion (e.g., Culpa mill upgrade to 2,300–2,500 tpd) at no extra cost to VersaMet.
