The business had revenue of $427.82 million during the quarter. Allied Gold had a positive return on equity of 24.45% and a negative net margin of 3.58%.

Here are the key takeaways from Allied Gold’s conference call:

• Shareholders overwhelmingly approved an acquisition by Zijin for CAD 44 per share (all-cash), valuing Allied Gold at $5.5 billion and representing a 27% premium to the ~30-day VWAP, with management saying approval exceeded 99%.
• The agreement has no financing condition and Allied/Zijin expect to close by the end of May (with two possible two‑month extensions), but closing remains subject to customary regulatory and court approvals.
• Management highlighted strong operational momentum — Kurmuk is coming into production this year, Sadiola’s first expansion phase is complete, 2026 production guidance is ~55% above 2023, and the company ended the year with $480 million in cash and says it is fully funded for development.
• Management acknowledged heightened market and geopolitical volatility and the need for regulatory approvals, creating a residual risk that could delay closing or complicate the transition despite cooperative engagement with Zijin.
