Ian Cockerill, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Our strong operational performance over the first three quarters positions us on track to deliver our full-year guidance, as outperformance at Lafigué has largely offset underperformance due to stoppages at Mana.

This operational performance, coupled with higher realised gold prices, has supported record financial results. Year-to-date, we have generated record adjusted EBITDA of $2.3 billion, up 38% year-on-year, and record free cash flow of $1.0 billion, up 50% year-on-year. With our strongest operational quarter planned for Q4, we expect an even better financial performance to round off a record year.

Our record free cash flow generation underpins continued balance sheet strength. We maintained a healthy net cash position of $263 million and reduced our gross debt by $412 million, while returning a record $312 million to shareholders so far this year, more than double our annualised minimum commitment. Since launching our shareholder returns programme five years ago, we have increased returns by 12% a year, on average, and we have returned more than $1.9 billion to shareholders, 86% above our minimum commitment.

We will continue to prioritise shareholder returns while we organically grow the business, and we have made significant progress in de-risking our organic growth strategy, completing two important milestones. At our top tier Assafou project, we have approved the final investment decision and launched project development, targeting first gold in H1-2029. Meanwhile, at Sabodala-Massawa, we launched Phase 1 of the underground expansion targeting first development ore by the end of the year and commercial production by early 2028. Together, these projects are central to our sector-leading organic growth profile and position us to deliver more than 27% production growth, to 1.5 million ounces of production per year, by 2030.

Our exploration programme is delivering further organic growth upside through our Vindaloo Deeps and Kawsara multimillion-ounce discoveries that are expected to significantly improve our life of mine outlook at the Houndé and Sabodala-Massawa mines respectively, when we publish resources later this year.

Looking ahead, strong operational performance and cash flow generation will continue to support our sector-leading shareholder returns and organic growth, generating value for all of our 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 September 2026; nil at 30 June 2026; nil at 31 December 2025; $37.5 million at 30 September 2025).

NOTES:

1)Operating cash flows increased by $89.3 million from $317.3 million (or $1.31 per share) in Q2-2026 to $406.6 million (or $1.68 per share) in Q3-2026 due to lower income and withholding tax payments, partially offset by lower gold sales and lower realised gold prices, and a working capital outflow compared to an inflow in the prior quarter.
  
 Operating cash flows increased by $406.7 million from $1,054.7 million (or $4.35 per share) in YTD-2025 to $1,461.4 million (or $6.04 per share) in YTD-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:

2)Cash flows used in investing activities decreased by $23.0 million from $168.5 million in Q2-2026 to $145.5 million in Q3-2026 driven by a decrease in sustaining capital spend of $33.8 million as well as a decrease in strategic investments of $25.0 million, following the strategic investment in Altair Minerals in the prior period. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in non-sustaining capital spend of $32.2 million primarily driven by an increase in waste stripping activity at the Houndé and Lafigué mines and an increase in growth capital spend of $1.2 million due to the ramp up of development at the Assafou project.
  
 Cash flows used in investing activities increased by $63.8 million from $375.1 million in YTD-2025 to $438.9 million in YTD-2026 due to an increase in sustaining capital spend of $28.5 million, an increase in strategic investments in New Ventures exploration of $23.6 million, a decrease in proceeds from settlement of consideration receivable of $20.8 million related to the settlement agreement with Lilium from the prior period, a decrease in cash inflows related to restricted cash of $8.0 million following the resolution of claims in the prior period, and an increase in growth capital of $5.0 million. This was partially offset by a decrease in exploration capital spend of $13.4 million and a decrease in non-sustaining capital spend of $1.7 million.
  
3)Free cash flow increased by $112.3 million from $148.8 million in Q2-2026 to $261.1 million in Q3-2026 primarily driven by lower income and withholding tax payments, a decrease in sustaining capital spend as well as a decrease in strategic investments related to our New Venture exploration. This was partially offset by lower gold sales and realised gold prices, a working capital outflow compared to an inflow in the prior quarter, and an increase in non-sustaining and growth capital spend.
  
 Free cash flow increased by $342.9 million from $679.6 million in YTD-2025 to $1,022.5 million in YTD-2026 largely due to higher realised gold prices and lower realised losses on financial instruments 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 higher sustaining capital spend and an increase in strategic investments related to New Venture exploration.
  
4)Cash flows from financing activities decreased by $681.7 million from a $25.2 million inflow in Q2-2026 to a $656.5 million outflow in Q3-2026 due to a $726.1 million increase in repayments of the Group’s outstanding debt, including a $410.0 million repayment of the Group’s revolving credit facility and a $10.4 million repayment on the Lafigué term loan, as well as a $213.1 million increase in payments to minority shareholders due to the timing of cash upstreaming. This decrease was partially offset by lower shareholder dividend payments due to the timing of semi-annual dividend payments, a $43.3 million decrease in the repurchase of shares through the Group’s share buyback programme, and a decrease of $13.6 million in financing fees.
  
 Cash flows from financing activities improved by $297.7 million from an outflow of $893.1 million in YTD-2025 to an outflow of $595.4 million in YTD-2026 largely due to a decrease in net outflow of $437.5 million mostly related to the Group’s revolving credit facility, a $31.7 million decrease in financing fees and a $12.6 million decrease in purchases of shares through the Group’s share buyback programme, partially offset by a $122.0 million increase in payments to minority shareholders and a $61.1 million increase in shareholder dividends paid.
  
5)Endeavour’s net cash position improved by $9.1 million, from $253.6 million at the end of Q2-2026 to $262.7 million at the end of Q3-2026, while the Net Cash/(Net Debt) / Adjusted EBITDA (LTM) leverage ratio remained stable at 0.09x at the end of Q3-2026. Endeavour’s total available liquidity remained strong at $1,549.1 million, consisting of $849.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and $700.0 million available through the Company’s revolving credit facility.

NOTES:

6)Revenue decreased by $111.8 million from $1,220.3 million in Q2-2026 to $1,108.5 million in Q3-2026 due to lower volumes of gold sold as well as a decrease in the realised gold price from $4,348/oz in Q2-2026 to $4,258/oz in Q3-2026.
  
 Revenue increased by $717.7 million from $2,960.0 million in YTD-2025 to $3,677.8 million in YTD-2026 due to an increase in the realised gold price from $3,221/oz, exclusive of the impact of the Group’s Revenue Protection Programme, in YTD-2025 to $4,477/oz in YTD-2026, partially offset by lower volumes of gold sold.
  
7)Operating expenses increased by $3.0 million from $336.3 million in Q2-2026 to $339.3 million in Q3-2026, driven by higher inventory drawdown at Mana as well as higher mining unit costs at Houndé and Lafigué, partially offset by lower production at the Houndé, Ity, Mana and Lafigué mines. Depreciation and depletion increased by $5.1 million from $152.9 million in Q2-2026 to $157.9 million in Q3-2026, despite lower quarterly production, due to the net draw down of stockpiles during the quarter, particularly at Sabodala-Massawa, depreciating historically capitalised stockpiles.
  
 Operating expenses increased by $145.6 million from $838.5 million in YTD-2025 to $984.1 million in YTD-2026 due to higher mining volumes at Ity and Lafigué, an increase in mining unit costs at Houndé and Sabodala-Massawa, as well as an increase in inventory drawdown at Lafigué and Sabodala-Massawa. Depreciation and depletion of $459.6 million in YTD-2026 was in line with the prior period.
  
8)Royalties decreased by $21.3 million from $118.2 million in Q2-2026 to $96.9 million in Q3-2026 due to lower volumes of gold sold as well as a decrease in the realised gold price during the quarter.
  
 Royalties increased by $116.7 million from $223.7 million in YTD-2025 to $340.4 million in YTD-2026 due to the higher realised gold price and the increase in Côte d’Ivoire royalty rates, partially offset by lower volumes of gold sold.
  
9)
Corporate costs increased by $1.4 million from $11.9 million in Q2-2026 to $13.3 million in Q3-2026 due to the timing of professional services and other corporate costs.
  
 Corporate costs decreased by $0.2 million from $39.4 million in YTD-2025 to $39.2 million in YTD-2026 due to a decrease in corporate expenses, partially offset by an increase in professional services and employee compensation.
  
10)
Other expenses increased by $0.4 million from $21.1 million in Q2-2026 to $21.5 million in Q3-2026. For Q3-2026, other expenses included $12.4 million in legal and other fees, $6.4 million in indirect tax claims, $1.9 million in supplier and employee claims, $0.7 million in acquisition and restructuring costs and $0.2 million in community contributions.
  
11)
Credit loss expense and impairment of financial assets increased by $3.0 million from a reversal of $1.2 million in Q2-2026 to an expense of $1.7 million in Q3-2026, related to a credit loss adjustment on the net smelter royalty receivable from the Group’s divested Wahgnion mine, and credit loss adjustment against the outstanding VAT receivables in Burkina Faso.
  
12)
Exploration costs in Q3-2026 remained in line with the prior quarter at $12.0 million as the FY-2026 exploration programmes continued across the Group’s portfolio of assets.
  
 Exploration costs increased by $11.7 million from $23.0 million in YTD-2025 to $34.7 million in YTD-2026 following the launch of the new 2026 - 2030 exploration strategy and the acceleration of greenfield exploration spend.
  
13)
The loss on financial instruments decreased by $25.7 million from $27.6 million in Q2-2026 to $1.9 million in Q3-2026. The loss on financial instruments in Q3-2026 included a loss of $19.6 million on foreign exchange movements between the Euro and US dollar, and a $4.6 million fair value loss on the early redemption feature of Senior Notes, largely offset by a $22.4 million gain on marketable securities from Altair Minerals and Turaco Gold, and a $0.4 million gain on net smelter royalties.
  
 The loss on financial instruments decreased by $101.1 million from $131.6 million in YTD-2025 to $30.5 million in YTD-2026. The improvement is primarily driven by a $181.5 million loss on the Group’s revenue protection programme in the prior period, as well as a $8.3 million increase in gain on other financial instruments related to investments in Koulou Gold. This was partially offset by a $83.8 million increase in loss on foreign exchange movements, a $3.8 million increase in fair value loss on the early redemption of feature of Senior Notes and a $2.2 million increase in loss on marketable securities.
  
14)
Current income tax expense decreased by $180.3 million from $315.2 million in Q2-2026 to $134.9 million in Q3-2026, largely due to a decrease in current corporate income taxes driven by lower taxable profits and lower withholding taxes recognised due to the timing of local board approvals for cash upstreaming.
  
 Current income tax expense increased by $233.6 million from $404.7 million in YTD-2025 to $638.4 million in YTD-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 expense increased by $174.8 million from a deferred tax recovery of $137.5 million in Q2-2026 to a deferred tax expense of $37.3 million in Q3-2026, primarily due to the reversal of deferred tax liabilities in the prior period following the payment of withholding taxes associated with cash upstreaming, as well as the accrual of FY-2026 withholding taxes in the current period.
  
 Deferred tax recovery decreased by $98.1 million from $101.5 million in YTD-2025 to $3.4 million in YTD-2026, largely due to an increase in foreign exchange loss recognised on deferred tax balances, compared to a foreign exchange gain recognised in YTD-2025.
  
15)
Net comprehensive earnings from operations decreased by $76.7 million from $334.5 million in Q2-2026 to $257.8 million in Q3-2026. The decrease in earnings is largely driven by lower revenue due to the lower volume of gold sold as well as lower realised gold price, partially offset by a decrease in losses on financial instruments, royalty costs and net income tax expense.
  
 Net comprehensive earnings from operations improved by $247.7 million from $766.6 million in YTD-2025 to $1,014.3 million in YTD-2026. The increase in earnings was largely driven by higher revenue as a result of the higher realised gold price, as well as a decrease in losses on financial instruments following the completion of the revenue protection programme in Q4-2025. This increase was partially offset by higher income taxes, higher royalty costs due to the higher realised gold price as well as the increase in Côte d’Ivoire royalty rates, and higher operating expenses.
  
16)For Q3-2026, add-back adjustments included other expenses of $21.5 million, a non-cash tax adjustment of $10.2 million related to foreign exchange on deferred taxes, a $1.9 million loss on financial instruments, and a $1.7 million credit loss related to net smelter royalty receivables and VAT.
  
17)Net earnings attributable to non-controlling interests decreased by $38.5 million, from $90.0 million in Q2-2026 to $51.6 million in Q3-2026 due to the decrease in net comprehensive earnings.
  
18)Adjusted net earnings attributable to shareholders decreased by $60.1 million from $301.6 million (or $1.25 per share) in Q2-2026 to $241.5 million (or $1.00 per share) in Q3-2026 due to lower revenue from lower gold sales and realised price, partially offset by a decrease in losses on financial instruments, royalty costs and net income tax expense.
  
 Adjusted net earnings attributable to shareholders increased by $357.1 million from $556.4 million (or $2.29 per share) in YTD-2025 to $913.5 million (or $3.78 per share) in YTD-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 $73.5 million from $683.3 million in Q2-2026 to $609.7 million in Q3-2026 primarily driven by lower earnings before taxes attributable to the lower gold sales and realised gold price.
  
 EBITDA increased by $558.0 million from $1,607.7 million in YTD-2025 to $2,165.8 million in YTD-2026 due to higher earnings before taxes attributable to the higher realised gold price, partially offset by the decrease in production, higher royalty costs and higher operating expenses.
  
20)Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $92.8 million from $731.8 million in Q2-2026 to $638.9 million in Q3-2026 due to a decrease in EBITDA as well as a decrease in adjustments driven by a decrease in losses on financial instruments.
  
 Adjusted EBITDA increased by $616.0 million from $1,634.3 million in YTD-2025 to $2,250.3 million in YTD-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.

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; the creditworthiness of financial institutions, governments, customers and other counterparties; 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, cybersecurity incidents, 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; compliance with regulatory requirements, including local content, environmental, health and safety, anti-bribery, sanctions and other regulations, 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 including political and government intervention; disputes, litigation, regulatory proceedings and audits; adverse geopolitical, political, security and economic developments in countries in which Endeavour operates, including but not limited to acts of war, terrorism, sabotage, civil disturbances, failure to issue, non-renewal of, or delays in issuing or not renewing, key licences and permits by government authorities, adverse community relations or delay in agreeing, implementing or completing resettlement activities and plans or critical project infrastructure including highway routing and construction and access to power, or the expropriation or nationalisation of any of Endeavour’s property; risks associated with illegal and artisanal mining; risks associated with attracting and retaining key personnel; occupational health and safety risks and related operational disruption; 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.
