Overview
The earnings call presents a mixed picture. Record high revenue and adjusted earnings are strong positives, but challenges such as cost pressures and production issues at Florida Canyon offset these gains. The Q&A revealed some investor interest due to GDXJ inclusion, yet management's vague responses on cost impacts may raise concerns. The neutral sentiment reflects these balanced positives and negatives, suggesting limited immediate stock price movement.
Key Financial Performance
Gold Production 70,927 ounces of gold produced in 2025, within the company's annual guidance of 70,000 to 75,000 ounces. This was achieved despite challenges such as dust suppression issues and a liner tear in a solution pond.
Cash Costs $1,937 per gold ounce for the full year 2025. Slightly higher costs were attributed to elevated gold prices, which increased royalty and tax payments.
Mine Site All-In Sustaining Costs (AISC) $2,693 per gold ounce for the full year 2025. Higher AISC was due to increased royalties and excise taxes driven by elevated gold prices.
Average Realized Gold Price $3,411 per ounce for the full year 2025. This higher price contributed to significant cash flow leverage.
Revenue $243.9 million for the full year 2025, a record high. This was driven by strong gold production and high gold prices.
Operating Cash Flow $72.3 million generated from Florida Canyon in 2025. This was supported by strong production levels and high gold prices.
Sustaining and Growth Capital $52.4 million deployed at Florida Canyon in 2025 for initiatives like heap leach pad expansions, fleet refurbishments, and growth drilling.
Adjusted Earnings $47.3 million or $0.28 per share for the full year 2025, a record high. This reflects a full year of operations compared to only two months in 2024.
Cash Balance $63.1 million at the end of 2025, positioning the company to execute on major objectives.
Mine Operating Earnings $94.5 million for the full year 2025, equating to a 39% operating profit margin. This was driven by increased gold prices and full-year operations.

Risk or Challenges
Production Challenges: Unplanned production impacts at Florida Canyon, including a temporary water shortage in Q3 2025 caused by a problematic historic water well and a liner tear in a solution pond in Q4 2025, which temporarily reduced solution flow rates.
Cost Pressures: Elevated gold prices have increased royalty and tax payments, adding cost pressure to cash costs and mine site AISC. A $100 per ounce change in gold price impacts cash costs and mine site AISC by approximately $7 per gold ounce.
Capital-Intensive Operations: Significant investments required for Florida Canyon, including heap leach pad expansion, fleet refurbishments, and increased waste stripping, leading to higher sustaining capital expenditures and mine site AISC in 2026.
Environmental and Regulatory Risks: Permitting and environmental review processes for DeLamar and Nevada North projects involve multiple federal, state, and local regulatory authorities, which could delay project timelines.
Operational Risks: Challenges in maintaining consistent production levels and addressing historical underinvestment at Florida Canyon, requiring ongoing capital-intensive improvements.
Market Dependency: The company's financial performance is highly dependent on gold prices, which directly impact revenue, cash flow, and cost structures.

Guidance & Outlook
Florida Canyon Investments and Expansion: Significant investments in 2025 will continue into 2026, focusing on heap leach pad expansion, waste stripping, equipment upgrades, process optimization, and mine planning. These efforts aim to sustain and grow Florida Canyon, extend its mine life, and improve production and cost profiles. An updated life of mine plan is expected in mid-2026.
Florida Canyon Production Guidance: Gold production is expected to be 70,000 to 75,000 ounces in 2026, with increased waste stripping and a strip ratio of 1.39. Sustaining capital expenditures are projected at $62 million to $68 million, focusing on waste stripping, equipment upgrades, and drilling. Mine site AISC is expected to range from $2,750 to $2,950 per ounce, reflecting a capital-intensive period.
Florida Canyon Growth Projections: Annual gold production is expected to increase to 80,000 to 90,000 ounces in 2027 and 2028. Growth capital of $7.5 million to $9.5 million will be deployed in 2026 for expansion projects and exploration drilling. An updated technical report incorporating growth drilling results is expected by Q2 2026.
DeLamar Project Permitting and Feasibility: The DeLamar project is advancing through permitting with a 15-month NEPA schedule. A feasibility study completed in December 2025 confirmed robust economics for a 10-year mine life, producing 1.1 million gold equivalent ounces. The project has an after-tax NPV of $774 million at base case prices, with potential for significant upside at higher gold and silver prices.
Nevada North Development: The Nevada North project will see expanded exploration and drilling campaigns in 2026, supported by environmental and permitting progress. An updated technical report at the PFS level is targeted for H1 2027.
Strategic Objectives for 2026: Integra aims to optimize production and cash flow at Florida Canyon, complete an updated life of mine plan, refine the DeLamar feasibility study, and advance permitting. The company also plans to de-risk Nevada North and evaluate strategic M&A opportunities to support its goal of becoming a mid-tier gold producer.

Key Q&A
Q:How should the waste stripping in the higher pits be modeled quarter-by-quarter for the year, and what is the quantifiable impact on costs?
A:The waste stripping will be heavily concentrated in the first part of the year and will start tapering off as the deposit gets deeper, though not very visibly in the second half. Waste stripping is expected throughout the year. Cost-wise, it is weighted towards the front half of the year, with approximately 55% of sustaining costs in H1 and 45% in H2.
Q:Have there been any incremental interests from investors following the GDXJ inclusion?
A:Yes, there has been increased interest from new institutions, including three large generalist funds that were not previously on the registry. There was also increased trading liquidity in advance of the GDXJ announcement, though there is no firm proof that generalists piled in anticipation of the news. The bespoke financing for DeLamar early works programs also attracted new institutional interest.
Q:Review of Unclear Management Responses
A:The management avoided providing a direct and scientific answer to the question about modeling waste stripping quarter-by-quarter and its quantifiable impact on costs. They acknowledged the complexity and provided a general timeline and cost distribution but lacked specific numerical details.
