Analysis · RGLD · Energy & Transportation
A standout quarter saw revenue more than double year-over-year to $450.5 million, while operating cash flow reached a record $335.2 million. The windfall was put to work immediately—$500 million of debt was repaid in the first half, and a $500 million share buyback program was launched. With $1 billion in available liquidity, the balance sheet is now in its strongest position in years. The subsequent completion of the Hod Maden restructuring further de-risks the portfolio by swapping equity for a royalty. The only minor blemish is the CEO's adoption of a 10b5-1 trading plan, though the share count is immaterial.
