Ian Cockerill, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We are pleased with our solid operational performance in H1-2026 which has positioned us firmly on track to achieve our full-year guidance. In Q3, as previously highlighted, we anticipate throughput and grades to be impacted by the wet season and phased waste stripping respectively, before both improve significantly in Q4.

Our solid operational performance together with continued strength in the gold price has translated into record financial performance. We generated record adjusted EBITDA of $1,611 million, up 41% over H2-2025, and record free cash flow of $761 million, up 19% over H2-2025. Given the strong free cash flow generation and healthy net cash balance sheet position of $254 million, we are well positioned to achieve our strategic objectives; delivering sector leading organic growth and shareholder returns.

For the first half of the year, we have returned a record $301 million to shareholders, a 39% increase over H2-2025 and more than double our minimum commitment, comprised of a record $230 million dividend and $71 million of share buybacks. Our shareholder returns programme has now delivered over $1.9 billion since Q1-2021, 85% above our minimum commitment over the period.

Our most significant value creation lever has been, and continues to be, organic growth through exploration and project development.

At Assafou, all of the critical path items are on track and we expect to make a final investment decision by year-end. Simultaneously, we expect to launch the underground expansion at Sabodala-Massawa, where we aim to break ground in the coming weeks. Together, these two projects underpin our sector-leading organic growth profile, and position us to deliver production growth to 1.5 million ounces by 2030.

On exploration, during H2-2026 we expect to finalise significant resource increases at our Vindaloo Deeps and Kawsara discoveries, both offering multiple million ounce potential to support production and life of mine upgrades at our Houndé and Sabodala-Massawa mines, respectively. Longer-term, our New Ventures exploration programme continues to expand and diversify our footprint into several highly fertile, immature, tier 1 gold provinces, generating the next wave of greenfield projects.

During the first half of the year, we also launched a new transparency initiative with our host communities to showcase our on-the-ground impact. Central to this was the June publication of our inaugural Impact Report, highlighting our $11.5 billion, five-year economic contribution to our host countries, alongside the broader social and environmental benefits that we deliver.

Our robust operating outlook, strong cash flow generation and healthy financial position, coupled with a highly disciplined approach to capital allocation, underpins sustained sector-leading organic growth and shareholder returns, creating long-term value for all stakeholders.”

1Free cash flow, net cash/(net debt), and adjusted EBITDA are Non-GAAP measures. Refer to the non-GAAP measure section in this press release and in the Management Report. 2From all operations; calculated as Operating Cash Flow less Cash used in investing activities. 3Cash and cash equivalents are net of bank overdraft (nil at 30 June 2026; nil at 31 March 2026; nil at 31 December 2025; $6.3 million at 30 June 2025).

NOTES:

1)  Operating cash flows decreased by $420.1 million from $737.4 million (or $3.05 per share) in Q1-2026 to $317.3 million (or $1.31 per share) in Q2-2026 due to higher income tax and withholding tax payments, lower realised gold prices, and higher operating costs. This was partially offset by a working capital inflow compared to an outflow in the prior quarter and lower royalty costs due to the lower realised gold price. 

Operating cash flows increased by $308.7 million from $746.2 million (or $3.07 per share) in H1-2025 to $1,054.9 million (or $4.36 per share) in H1-2026 due to the higher realised gold prices, realised losses on gold collars in the prior period and a lower working capital outflow, partially offset by lower production, higher income tax payments, higher royalty costs and higher operating costs. 

Notable variances are summarised below:

Total taxes paid465.045.5233.1510.6272.0

1Included in the “Other” category is income and withholding taxes paid/(received) by Corporate and Exploration entities.

2)  Cash flows used in investing activities increased by $43.7 million from $124.8 million in Q1-2026 to $168.5 million in Q2-2026 driven by an increase in strategic investments of $22.3 million, related to our New Venture exploration partners Altair Minerals Limited ($20.0 million) and Koulou Gold Corp ($4.9 million), an increase in non-sustaining capital spend of $8.2 million, an increase in growth capital spend of $6.2 million and a decrease in restricted cash inflows of $3.3 million following payment of the incremental FY-2025 royalty rates in Côte d’Ivoire in Q1-2026.

Cash flows used in investing activities increased by $61.0 million from $232.5 million in H1-2025 to $293.5 million in H1-2026 due to an increase in strategic investments of $23.6 million related to New Venture exploration investments into Altair Minerals Limited and Koulou Gold in Q2-2026 and into East Star Resources in Q1-2026, a decrease in proceeds from settlement of consideration receivable of $20.8 million from the prior period related to the final cash consideration from the State of Burkina Faso related to the settlement agreement with Lilium and an increase in sustaining capital spend of $16.5 million. This was partially offset by a decrease in non-sustaining capital spend of $11.8 million and a decrease in restricted cash inflows of $9.8 million following the resolution of the Ity land claim and other tax appeals in the prior period. 

3)  Free cash flow decreased by $463.8 million from $612.6 million in Q1-2026 to $148.8 million in Q2-2026 largely due to higher income and withholding tax payments, lower realised gold prices, and higher operating costs, as well as higher investing cash flows due to an increase in strategic investments related to our New Venture exploration programme and an increase in non-sustaining and growth capital spend.

Free cash flow increased by $247.7 million from $513.7 million in H1-2025 to $761.4 million in H1-2026 largely due to higher realised gold prices and lower realised losses following the completion of the revenue protection programme in the prior period and a lower working capital outflow, partially offset by increased investing cash flows due to an increase in strategic investments related to our New Venture exploration programme and higher sustaining capital spend. 

4)  Cash flows from financing activities decreased by $10.6 million from $35.8 million in Q1-2026 to $25.2 million in Q2-2026 due to the payment of the $200.4 million H2-2025 shareholder dividend during the quarter, an increase of $18.2 million in financing fees, a $16.9 million increase in the repurchase of shares through the Group’s share buyback programme, and $14.0 million in payments to minority shareholders. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in net drawdown of $240.3 million on the Group’s revolving credit facility.

Cash flows from financing activities improved by $384.3 million from an outflow of $323.2 million in H1-2025 to an inflow of $61.1 million in H1-2026 largely due to an increase in net inflow of $424.2 million on the Group’s revolving credit facility, and a $25.1 million decrease in financing fees, partially offset by a $61.1 million increase in shareholder dividends paid, a $2.5 million increase in purchases of shares through the Group’s share buyback programme, and a $1.7 million increase in repayments of leases.

5)  Endeavour’s net cash position decreased by $151.8 million, from $405.4 million at the end of Q1-2026 to $253.6 million at the end of Q2-2026, while the Net Cash (Debt)/ Adjusted EBITDA (LTM) leverage ratio decreased slightly from 0.16x at the end of Q1-2026 to 0.09x at the end of Q2-2026. Endeavour’s total available liquidity remained strong at $1,541.8 million, consisting of $1,251.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $290.0 million available through the Company’s revolving credit facility.

NOTES:

6)  Revenue decreased by $128.7 million from $1,349.0 million in Q1-2026 to $1,220.3 million in Q2-2026 primarily due to a decrease in the realised gold price from $4,810/oz in Q1-2026 to $4,348/oz in Q2-2026.

Revenue increased by $519.3 million from $2,050.0 million in H1-2025 to $2,569.3 million in H1-2026 due to an increase in the realised gold price from $3,107/oz, exclusive of the impact of the Group’s Revenue Protection Programme, in H1-2025 to $4,579/oz in H1-2026, partially offset by lower volumes of gold sold.

7)  Operating expenses increased by $27.7 million from $308.5 million in Q1-2026 to $336.3 million in Q2-2026, driven by a decrease in capitalised waste at Houndé and Lafigué, higher mining volumes at Mana, Ity and Lafigué as well as higher mining and processing costs at Sabodala-Massawa driven by scheduled maintenance requirements. This was partially offset by a smaller inventory drawdown at Lafigué and a build-up of stockpile inventory at Mana and Houndé. Depreciation and depletion increased slightly by $4.1 million from $148.7 million in Q1-2026 to $152.9 million in Q2-2026.

Operating expenses increased by $86.9 million from $557.9 million in H1-2025 to $644.8 million in H1-2026 due to higher mining volumes at Houndé and Lafigué, higher processing costs at Houndé and Ity related to reduced grid power availability during the period, an increase in inventory drawdown at Lafigué and a decrease in inventory build at Ity. Depreciation and depletion decreased by $23.7 million from $325.3 million in H1-2025 to $301.6 million in H1-2026 due to lower production.

8)  Royalties decreased by $7.0 million from $125.2 million in Q1-2026 to $118.2 million in Q2-2026 primarily due to lower realised gold price during the quarter.

Royalties increased by $90.2 million from $153.3 million in H1-2025 to $243.5 million in H1-2026 due to the higher realised gold price and the increase in Côte d’Ivoire royalty rates from 6% to 8%, partially offset by lower volumes of gold sold.

9)  Corporate costs decreased by $2.0 million from $14.0 million in Q1-2026 to $11.9 million in Q2-2026 largely due to a decrease in employee compensation following bonus payments earlier in the year and other corporate expenses.

Corporate costs decreased by $2.1 million from $28.0 million in H1-2025 to $25.9 million in H1-2026 due to a decrease in professional services and other corporate expenses. 

10)  Other expenses increased by $12.1 million from $9.0 million in Q1-2026 to $21.1 million in Q2-2026. For Q2-2026, other expenses included $9.7 million in legal and other fees, $5.6 million in indirect tax claims, $4.4 million in supplier and employee claims, $0.8 million in community contributions and $0.6 million in acquisition and restructuring costs.

11)  Credit loss reversal and impairment of financial assets decreased by $2.7 million from $3.9 million in Q1-2026 to $1.2 million in Q2-2026 primarily related to an improved recovery assumption against the outstanding VAT receivables in Burkina Faso.

12)  Exploration costs increased by $1.2 million from $10.8 million in Q1-2026 to $12.0 million in Q2-2026 due to acceleration of exploration programmes across the portfolio.

Exploration costs increased by $5.3 million from $17.4 million in H1-2025 to $22.7 million in H1-2026 following the launch of the new 2026 - 2030 exploration strategy and the acceleration of greenfield exploration spend.

13)  The loss on financial instruments increased by $26.6 million from $1.0 million in Q1-2026 to $27.6 million in Q2-2026. The loss on financial instruments in Q2-2026 included a loss of $21.7 million on foreign exchange movements between the Euro and US dollar and a $9.8 million loss on marketable securities, partially offset by a $2.2 million gain on net smelter royalties and a $1.1 million gain on the early redemption of Senior Notes.

The loss on financial instruments improved by $45.1 million from $82.8 million in H1-2025 to $28.6 million in H1-2026. The improvement is primarily driven by a $133.1 million loss on the Group’s revenue protection programme in H1-2025, partially offset by a $67.9 million increase in loss on foreign exchange movements and a $24.3 million increase in loss on marketable securities.

14)  Current income tax expense increased by $126.9 million from $188.3 million in Q1-2026 to $315.2 million in Q2-2026, largely due to an increase in withholding tax expenses due to the timing of local board approvals for cash upstreaming, partially offset by a decrease in current corporate income taxes driven by lower taxable profits.

Current income tax expense increased by $182.1 million from $321.4 million in H1-2025 to $503.5 million in H1-2026 due to an increase in current income taxes driven by higher taxable profits and an increase in withholding tax expenses due to increased cash upstreaming.

Deferred tax recovery increased by $234.2 million from a deferred tax expense of $96.7 million in Q1-2026 to a deferred tax recovery of $137.5 million in Q2-2026, primarily due to the reversal of deferred tax liabilities following the local board approval and payment of withholding taxes associated with cash upstreaming in Q2-2026.

Deferred tax recovery decreased by $86.8 million from $127.5 million in H1-2025 to $40.7 million in H1-2026, largely due to an increase in foreign exchange loss recognised on deferred tax balances, compared to a foreign exchange gain recognised in H1-2025.

15)  Net comprehensive earnings from operations decreased by $87.5 million from $421.9 million in Q1-2026 to $334.5 million in Q2-2026. The decrease in earnings is largely driven by lower revenue due to the lower realised gold price, higher operating expenses and an increase in losses on financial instruments, partially offset by a decrease in net income tax expense and royalty costs due to the lower realised gold price.

Net comprehensive earnings from operations improved by $191.4 million from $565.1 million in H1-2025 to $756.5 million in H1-2026. The increase in earnings was largely driven by higher revenue as a result of the higher realised gold price, a decrease in losses on financial instruments following the completion of the revenue protection programme in Q4-2025 and lower depreciation and depletion due to lower volumes of gold produced. This increase was partially offset by higher income taxes, higher royalty costs due to the higher realised gold price, and higher operating expenses.

16)  For Q2-2026, add-back adjustments included a $27.6 million loss on financial instruments, other expenses of $21.1 million, and a non-cash tax adjustment of $9.6 million related to foreign exchange on deferred taxes, partially offset by a $1.2 million reversal of the credit loss related to VAT.

17)  Net earnings attributable to non-controlling interests increased by $18.7 million, from $71.3 million in Q1-2026 to $90.0 million in Q2-2026 reflecting a change in the earnings split by mine as earnings increased significantly at the Ity mine and decreased at the Sabodala-Massawa mine. 

18)  Adjusted net earnings attributable to shareholders decreased by $68.8 million from $370.4 million (or $1.53 per share) in Q1-2026 to $301.6 million (or $1.25 per share) in Q2-2026 due to the lower realised gold price and higher operating expenses, partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense and royalty costs.

Adjusted net earnings attributable to shareholders increased by $274.0 million from $398.0 million (or $1.64 per share) in H1-2025 to $672.0 million (or $2.78 per share) in H1-2026 mainly due to the higher realised gold price, partially offset by lower volumes of gold sold, higher income tax expense, higher royalties and higher operating expenses.

1 Net loss/(gain) on financial instruments is the loss/(gain) on financial instruments excluding the realised gains/losses on forward contracts, gold collars and inter-quarter LBMA averaging arrangement.
2 Non-cash and other adjustments mainly relate to non-cash fair value adjustments to inventory associated with the purchase price allocation of Teranga, abnormal operating costs and net realisable value adjustments. Non-cash and other adjustments have been excluded in the adjusted EBITDA as they are non-recurring items which are not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations, as well as to be consistent with calculation of adjusted earnings. 
 

19)  EBITDA decreased by $189.2 million from $872.5 million in Q1-2026 to $683.3 million in Q2-2026 primarily driven by lower earnings before taxes attributable to the lower realised gold price and higher operating expenses.

EBITDA increased by $420.0 million from $1,136.1 million in H1-2025 to $1,556.0 million in H1-2026 due to higher earnings before taxes attributable to the higher realised gold price, partially offset by the decrease in production, higher royalty costs due to the higher realised gold price, the increase in Côte d’Ivoire royalty rates and higher operating expenses.

20)  Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $147.9 million from $879.6 million in Q1-2026 to $731.8 million in Q2-2026 due to a decrease in EBITDA, partially offset by an increase in adjustments driven by an increase in losses on financial instruments and an increase in other expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $442.7 million from $1,168.7 million in H1-2025 to $1,611.4 million in H1-2026 due to an increase in EBITDA as well as an increase in adjustments primarily driven by a loss on financial instruments compared to a gain in the prior period, partially offset by a reversal of credit losses and impairment of financial assets compared to an expense in the prior period and a decrease in other expenses.

22)  Mining interests increased by $5.2 million from $3,717.0 million at the end of Q1-2026 to $3,722.2 million at the end of Q2-2026 due to increased capitalised spend during the quarter, as detailed in the Cash Flow Summary section, partly offset by depreciation and depletion.

23)  Other long-term assets increased by $39.8 million from $700.3 million at the end of Q1-2026 to $740.2 million at the end of Q2-2026 due to an increase in non-current VAT receivables in Burkina Faso and higher long-term stockpiles as a result of mining volumes exceeding processing volumes especially at Ity during the period.

24)  Other current liabilities increased by $299.8 million from $461.6 million at the end of Q1-2026 to $761.4 million at the end of Q2-2026 due to a $302.9 million increase in trade and other payables related to balances owed to minority shareholders and increased supplier payables due to the timing of payments. 

25)  Income taxes payable decreased by $158.1 million from $645.4 million at the end of Q1-2026 to $487.3 million at the end of Q2-2026 due to the timing of corporate income tax and withholding tax payments at the operations, with increased taxes paid in Q2-2026 compared to Q1-2026.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This document contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are "forward-looking statements", including but not limited to, statements with respect to Endeavour's plans and operating performance, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of future production, future capital expenditures, the success of exploration activities, the anticipated timing for the payment of a shareholder dividend and statements with respect to future dividends payable to the Company’s shareholders, the completion of studies, mine life and any potential extensions, the future price of gold and the share buyback programme. Generally, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "expects", "expected", "budgeted", "forecasts", "anticipates", "believes", "plan", "target", "opportunities", "objective", "assume", "intention", "goal", "continue", "estimate", "potential", "strategy", "future", "aim", "may", "will", "can", "could", "would" and similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements, while based on management's reasonable estimates, projections and assumptions at the date the statements are made, are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: risks related to the successful completion of divestitures; risks related to international operations; risks related to general economic conditions and the impact of credit availability on the timing of cash flows and the values of assets and liabilities based on projected future cash flows; Endeavour’s financial results, cash flows and future prospects being consistent with Endeavour expectations in amounts sufficient to permit sustained dividend payments; the completion of studies on the timelines currently expected, and the results of those studies being consistent with Endeavour’s current expectations; actual results of current exploration activities; production and cost of sales forecasts for Endeavour meeting expectations; unanticipated reclamation expenses; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; fluctuations in prices of metals including gold; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; increases in market prices of mining consumables; possible variations in ore reserves, grade or recovery rates; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; extreme weather events, natural disasters, supply disruptions, power disruptions, accidents, pit wall slides, labour disputes, title disputes, claims and limitations on insurance coverage and other risks of the mining industry; delays in the completion of development or construction activities; changes in national and local government legislation, regulation of mining operations, tax rules and regulations and changes in the administration of laws, policies and practices in the jurisdictions in which Endeavour operates; disputes, litigation, regulatory proceedings and audits; adverse political and economic developments in countries in which Endeavour operates, including but not limited to acts of war, terrorism, sabotage, civil disturbances, non-renewal of key licences by government authorities, adverse community relations or delay in agreeing, implementing or completing resettlement activities and plans, or the expropriation or nationalisation of any of Endeavour’s property; risks associated with illegal and artisanal mining; environmental hazards; climate-related physical and transition risks; the availability and performance of emissions-reduction and renewable energy technologies; changes in climate-related disclosure requirements or ESG-related regulation; evolving stakeholder expectations; the reliability and accuracy of ESG-related data (including greenhouse gas emissions estimates, particularly Scope 3 emissions); reliance on third-party information, contractors and suppliers for ESG metrics; and the Company’s ability to achieve ESG-related targets or ambitions; and risks associated with new diseases, epidemics and pandemics.

Although Endeavour has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Please refer to Endeavour's most recent Annual Information Form filed under its profile at www.sedarplus.ca for further information respecting the risks affecting Endeavour and its business.

ESG-related disclosures are inherently subject to measurement uncertainties and methodological limitations. Certain ESG metrics, including greenhouse gas emissions, climate scenario analysis, biodiversity impacts and supply chain data, are based on evolving standards, estimates, assumptions and third-party information, and may not have the same degree of accuracy, comparability or assurance as financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS. As ESG reporting frameworks and regulatory requirements in the United Kingdom and Canada continue to develop, the Company may revise or update its methodologies, baselines or disclosures in future reporting periods.

The declaration and payment of future dividends and the amount of any such dividends will be subject to the determination of the Board of Directors, in its sole and absolute discretion, taking into account, among other things, economic conditions, business performance, financial condition, growth plans, expected capital requirements, compliance with the Company's constating documents, all applicable laws, including the rules and policies of any applicable stock exchange, as well as any contractual restrictions on such dividends, including any agreements entered into with lenders to the Company, and any other factors that the Board of Directors deems appropriate at the relevant time. There can be no assurance that any dividends will be paid at the intended rate or at all in the future.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

Some of the indicators used by Endeavour in this press release represent non-IFRS financial measures, including "all-in margin", "all-in sustaining cost", "net cash / net debt", "EBITDA", "adjusted EBITDA", "net cash / net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio", "cash flow from continuing operations", "total cash cost per ounce", "sustaining and non-sustaining capital", "net earnings", "adjusted net earnings", "free cash flow", "operating cash flow per share", "free cash flow per share", and "return on capital employed". These measures are presented as they can provide useful information to assist investors with their evaluation of the pro forma performance. Since the non-IFRS performance measures listed herein do not have any standardised definition prescribed by IFRS, they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Accordingly, they are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Please refer to the non-GAAP measures section in this press release and in the Company’s most recently filed Management Report for a reconciliation of the non-IFRS financial measures used in this press release. Certain figures presented within the news release may not precisely match corresponding totals or variances in the tables due to rounding.
