Regis has delivered an outstanding result for FY26, generating record net profit after tax of $715M, record EBITDA of $1.345B and record statutory operating cash flows of $1.247B. This performance reflects the consistency of our operations and the continued strengthening of our balance sheet.

Looking ahead, Regis has reaffirmed its FY27 guidance, targeting between 360,000 and 400,000 ounces of gold production and group AISC of $2,990â$3,390 per ounce. Growth capital of $250â$270 million is weighted towards the first half, as new open pits are developed and the Rosemont Stage 3 project progresses.
The company’s unhedged position and strong cash balance put it in good shape to invest further in operations and growth opportunities, while keeping shareholder returns front of mind. Management projects a “catch-up” tax payment of $220â$240 million later in the year as part of its ongoing obligations.
