      2.

      Calculated as the trailing 12-month Free Cash Flow† over the average trailing 12-month market capitalization in USD.

      Gerard Bond, President and CEO of OceanaGold, said: "2025 was a stellar year for OceanaGold, with strong operational execution translating to record financial outcomes and shareholder returns. We safely and responsibly delivered production, cost and capital Guidance for the year. We generated record net profit, record EPS and record Free Cash Flow†, and further strengthened our balance sheet to nearly half a billion dollars of cash with no debt. We were able to invest in our attractive organic growth opportunities, pay an increased dividend and return a substantial amount of capital to shareholders via an upsized share buyback.

      Looking ahead to 2026, we expect higher production, lower unit costs, and expect another year of strong Free Cash Flow† in the current gold price environment. We are excited to progress development and exploration activity to accelerate one of the highest‑grade undeveloped gold projects in our industry, the Waihi North Project, as well as commence development of Palomino Underground at Haile. We are increasing our investment in exploration in 2026 by 50%, to a Company record, in pursuit of high return, near mine options.  We are confident this growth investment will continue to drive value creation for shareholders.

      We are committed to maximizing returns to shareholders via our disciplined capital allocation framework and will do so by tripling the dividend from 2025 levels, and doubling our share buyback program to $350 million. To further broaden our investor base and enhance liquidity, we are also excited to be listing on the NYSE in April this year."

The list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect the Company's forward-looking statements.

      The Company's forward-looking statements are based on the applicable assumptions and factors Management considers reasonable as of the date hereof, based on the information available to Management at such time. These assumptions and factors include, but are not limited to, assumptions and factors related to: the Company's ability to carry on current and future operations, including: development and exploration activities; the timing, extent, duration and economic viability of such operations, including any mineral resources or reserves identified thereby; the accuracy and reliability of estimates, projections, forecasts, studies and assessments; the Company's ability to meet or achieve estimates, projections and forecasts; the availability and cost of inputs; the price and market for outputs, including gold; foreign exchange rates; taxation levels; the timely receipt of necessary approvals or permits; the ability to meet current and future obligations; the ability to obtain timely financing on reasonable terms when required; the current and future social, economic and political conditions; and other assumptions and factors generally associated with the mining industry.

      Non-IFRS Financial Information

      Adjusted Net Profit/(Loss) and Adjusted Earnings/(Loss) per share

      These are used by Management to measure the underlying operating performance of the Company. Management believes these measures provide information that is useful to investors because they are important indicators of the strength of the Company's operations and the performance of its core business. Accordingly, such measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted Net Profit/(Loss) is calculated as Net Profit/(Loss) less the impact of impairment expenses and reversals, write-downs, foreign exchange (gains)/losses, gain on sale of assets, listing costs and restructuring costs related to transitioning certain corporate activities from Australia to Canada.

      EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

      Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a valuable indicator of its ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flows to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations and fund capital expenditures. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA less the impact of impairment expenses and reversals, write-downs, gains/losses on disposal of assets, listing costs, foreign exchange gains/losses and other non-recurring costs. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

      Cash Costs and AISC

      Cash Costs are a common financial performance measure in the gold mining industry; however, it has no standard meaning under IFRS. Management uses this measure to monitor the performance of its mining operations and its ability to generate positive cash flows, both on an individual site basis and an overall company basis. Cash Costs include mine site operating costs plus indirect taxes and selling cost net of by-product sales and are then divided by ounces sold. In calculating Cash Costs, the Company includes the value of cash-settled stock-based compensation in the year of vesting. Cash costs are reduced by copper and silver by-product credits that are considered incidental to the gold production process, thereby allowing Management and other stakeholders to assess the net costs of gold production. The measure is not necessarily indicative of cash flow from operations under IFRS or operating costs presented under IFRS.

      Management believes that the AISC measure provides additional insight into the costs of producing gold by capturing all of the expenditures required for the discovery, development and sustaining of gold production and allows the Company to assess its ability to support capital expenditures to sustain future production from the generation of operating cash flows, both on an individual site basis and an overall company basis, while maintaining current production levels. Management believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance and ability to generate cash flow per ounce sold. AISC is calculated as the sum of Cash Costs, capital expenditures and exploration costs that are sustaining in nature and corporate G&A costs. AISC is divided by ounces sold to arrive at AISC per ounce.

      Prior to the first quarter of 2025, Didipio's AISC calculation excluded local corporate G&A costs which is consistent with the calculation of AISC for the other operations. In order to align the Company's reporting of AISC with local reporting requirements in the Philippines, Management has included local corporate G&A costs in Didipio's AISC calculation beginning in the first quarter of 2025.

      Free Cash Flow

      Free Cash Flow has been calculated as cash flows from operating activities, less cash flow used in investing activities. Management believes Free Cash Flow is a useful indicator of the Company's ability to generate cash flow and operate net of all expenditures, prior to any financing cash flows. Free Cash Flow per share is calculated as the Free Cash Flow divided by the fully diluted weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding.
