Non-GAAP Financial Measures The reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 to the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with IFRS are presented below. Total Cash Royalty Receipts, Total Cash Receipts and Normalized Total Cash Receipts Total Cash Receipts refers to Total Cash Royalty Receipts plus cash receipts from all products. Total Cash Receipts includes cash receipts from interest as well as non-recurring cash receipts such as the principal payments related to the Trust's loan receivable, fees and premiums related thereto and proceeds from the sale of royalty assets which consist of the proceeds from the sale of the Tzield royalty. Total Cash Royalty Receipts refers to aggregate cash royalty receipts from the Trust's portfolio of royalty assets and forms part of Total Cash Receipts. Because of the lag between when the Trust records royalty income and receives the corresponding cash payments on its royalties, management believes Total Cash Receipts and Total Cash Royalty Receipts are useful measures when evaluating the Trust's operations, as they represent actual cash generated in respect of all royalty assets held during a period. The Trust also presents Normalized Total Cash Receipts, which refers to Total Cash Receipts adjusted to remove cash receipts that are not expected to recur in the normal course of its operations. Management believes that Normalized Total Cash Receipts will assist readers in evaluating the period over period performance of the Trust's royalty portfolio since Normalized Total Cash Receipts only includes cash receipts generated by royalties and other amounts payable pursuant to the terms of the Trust's royalty assets and interest on the Trust's loan receivable. Three months ended Nine months ended (thousands of US dollars) September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 Total income 45,555 34,143 125,226 90,437 [-] Other interest income (596) (179) (1,895) (468) [+] Royalties receivable, beginning of period 43,542 29,110 64,082 87,632 [-] Royalties receivable, end of period (45,580) (40,886) (45,580) (100,770) [+] Acquired royalties receivable 1 — 3,061 3,560 5,343 [-] Non-cash royalty income 2 — — — (4) [-] Non-cash interest and other income on loan receivable 3 — — — (1,102) [+] Principal repayment of loan receivable — — — 50,000 [+] Exit fee 4 — — — 1,000 [+] Proceeds from sale of royalty assets — — — 210,000 Total Cash Receipts 38,921 25,249 145,393 342,068 [-] Principal repayment of loan receivable 4 — — — (50,000) [-] Exit fee received for loan receivable 4 — — — (1,000) [-] Premiums for prepayment of loan receivable 4 — — — (2,140) [-] Proceeds from sale of royalty assets 4 — — — (210,000) Normalized Total Cash Receipts 38,921 25,249 145,393 78,928 [-] Interest and other income on loan receivable — — — (6,506) [+] Non-cash interest and other income on loan receivable 3 — — — 1,102 [+] Premiums for prepayment of loan receivable 4 — — — 2,140 Total Cash Royalty Receipts 38,921 25,249 145,393 75,664 __________________ 1 Acquired royalties receivable represent the Trust's royalty entitlements prior to the completion of the royalty transactions they relate to, as described under the Transactions Completed section of the MD&A. Acquired royalties receivable of $96 previously recognized for the Tzield transaction were reversed during the second quarter of 2023 as the royalty asset and its associated royalty interest was sold. 2 Non-cash royalty income is related to excess royalty payments received in prior periods in which the Trust has an obligation to the royalty payers. Royalty income of nil and nil, respectively, was used to reduce the obligation during three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 (2023 – nil and $4, respectively). Royalty income earned in future periods related to other royalty assets will be used to repay the remaining obligation of $136. 3 As the loan receivable was fully prepaid on June 26, 2023, there was no non-cash interest and other income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, non-cash interest and other income on loan receivable represents the amortization of commitment fees of nil and $368, respectively, and the accretion of exit fees receivable of nil and $734, respectively. 4 This item represents cash received by the Trust that is not expected to recur in the normal course of its operations. As such, this item is not included in Normalized Total Cash Receipts. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin Management believes Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful information about the Trust's operating cash flows as it eliminates the effects of other non-cash expenses and accruals and income and expenses that are not expected to recur, that have been recorded on the statement of net earnings (loss) and comprehensive earnings (loss). The Trust refers to EBITDA when reconciling its comprehensive earnings (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA but does not use EBITDA as a measure of its performance. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a useful supplemental measure to demonstrate the operating efficiency of the Trust's business on a cash basis.

The related amortization expense is recorded in other operating expenses. 3 Acquired royalties receivable represent the Trust's royalty entitlements prior to the completion of the royalty transactions they relate to, as described under the Transactions Completed section of the MD&A. Acquired royalties receivable of $96 previously recognized for the Tzield transaction were reversed during the second quarter of 2023 as the royalty asset and its associated royalty interest was sold. 4 For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, unit-based compensation expense were $347 and $7,589, respectively (2023 – $2,843 and $3,700, respectively, which includes $1,206 and $1,348, respectively, paid in cash). 5 Certain members of the board of trustees elected to be compensated fully or partially in deferred units ("DUs") under the Trust's Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan. 6 Non-cash royalty income is related to excess royalty payments received in prior periods in which the Trust has an obligation to the royalty payers. Royalty income of nil and nil, respectively, was used to reduce the obligation during three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 (2023 – nil and $4, respectively). Royalty income earned in future periods related to other royalty assets will be used to repay the remaining obligation of $136. 7 As the loan receivable was fully prepaid on June 26, 2023, there was no non-cash interest and other income for the three months ended September 30, 2024.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, non-cash interest and other income on loan receivable represents the amortization of commitment fees of nil and $368, respectively, and the accretion of exit fees receivable of nil and $734, respectively. 8 The Trust received a prepayment premium for prepayment of the loan receivable, as described under the Loan receivable section of the MD&A. 9 During the second quarter of 2023, the Trust sold its royalty interest in the worldwide sales of Tzield, as described under the Tzield Transactions section of the MD&A. 10 During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Trust paid management fees of $13,650 and performance fees ofS$18,616 related to the sale of the Tzield royalty asset, pursuant to the investment management agreement, as described in note 2(n) to the Trust's 2023 amended and restated annual consolidated financial statements. 11 During the second quarter of 2024, the Trust refinanced its 2023 Preferred Securities and 2023 Warrants, as result of the refinancing an accounting gain was recorded. Adjusted Cash Earnings per Unit Management believes that Adjusted Cash Earnings per Unit provides meaningful information about the Trust's performance as it provides a measure of the cash generated by the Trust's assets on a per unit basis, excluding  cash earnings that are not expected to recur.
