1 The term “free cash flow” is a non-GAAP financial measure. Free cash flow is defined by the Company as operating income plus depreciation, depletion and amortization, non-cash charges and impairment of mining assets, if any, less non-controlling interests in operating income from consolidated subsidiaries. See page 26 for a GAAP reconciliation.

2 Net income attributable to Royal Gold shareholders for FY2010 was impacted by pre-tax effects of severance and acquisition costs of $19.4 million, or $0.33 per share, related to the International Royalty Corporation transaction.

3 Net income attributable to Royal Gold shareholders for FY2009 was impacted by two one-time gains related to the Barrick royalty portfolio acquisition and the Benso royalty buy-back by Golden Star. The effect of these gains was $0.62 per basic share after taxes.

4 Dividends are paid on a calendar year basis, as shown on page 1, and do not correspond with the fiscal year dividend amounts shown in this table.

The Company computes and discloses free cash flow and adjusted EBITDA. Free cash flow and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Free cash flow is defined by the Company as operating income plus depreciation, depletion and amortization, non-cash charges, and any impairment of mining assets, less non-controlling interests in operating income of consolidated subsidiaries. Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as net income plus depreciation, depletion and amortization, non-cash charges, income tax expense, interest and other expense, and any impairment of mining assets, less non-controlling interests in operating income of consolidated subsidiaries, interest and other income, and any royalty portfolio restructuring gains. Other companies may define and calculate these measures differently. Management believes that free cash flow and adjusted EBITDA are useful measures of performance of our royalty portfolio. Free cash flow and adjusted EBITDA identify the cash generated in a given period that will be available to fund the Company’s future operations, growth opportunities, shareholder dividends and to service the Company’s debt obligations. Free cash flow and adjusted EBITDA, as defined, are most directly comparable to operating income and net income, respectively, in the Company’s Statements of Operations. Below is a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures:
