BULGOLD FY Results — Data Required for Institutional Note

BULGOLD released fiscal-year results that were summarized by Seeking Alpha on Apr 14, 2026 (Seeking Alpha news ID 4574872). For Fazen Markets to produce an authoritative, data-driven institutional note that meets our quality thresholds, we need the primary financial and operational metrics as disclosed in the company release or the audited financial statements. The summary alone does not provide the level of granularity required for robust YoY and peer comparisons, cash‑flow modeling, capital allocation assessment, or scenario-based stress testing. Below I detail the specific datapoints required, why each matters for institutional investors, and the provisional analytical framework we will apply once the raw figures are provided.

Context

The timing of the Seeking Alpha summary — Apr 14, 2026 — indicates the company is reporting full-year results for a fiscal year that likely ended on Dec 31, 2025 or Mar 31, 2026 depending on BULGOLD's reporting calendar. Historical context matters: many mid‑tier gold/mining producers saw production variability across 2024–25 driven by grade fluctuation, input-cost pressure (fuel and diesel), and capex phasing. For comparability, we require the fiscal year-end date and the 12-month comparatives (FY2024) so we can compute year‑over‑year (YoY) deltas and trailing‑12‑month (TTM) metrics. Providing the company press release, the audited financial statements, or the Management Discussion & Analysis (MD&A) will allow us to reconcile non‑GAAP measures (e.g., AISC — all‑in sustaining cost) with statutory accounting.

Data Deep Dive — Required Numeric Inputs

To deliver a Bloomberg/FT‑quality institutional note we need the following specific data fields from the release or filings. Please paste numeric values, units, and footnote references where they appear in the filing. 1) Revenue — full‑year amount and currency (e.g., USD 120.4m) and FY2024 comparative. 2) Net income or loss and basic/diluted EPS (e.g., net loss USD 3.2m; EPS (diluted) $(0.03)). 3) Operational metrics — production volumes (ounces of gold, tonnes of ore) and grade (g/t) for the year and for the prior year. 4) Cost metrics — AISC, cost per tonne, cash cost per ounce. 5) Cash flow and balance sheet snapshots — operating cash flow, free cash flow, cash and equivalents, net debt (or cash). 6) Capital expenditure (capex) and guidance (e.g., FY2026 capex guidance USD 15–20m). 7) Dividend policy or declared distributions (amount and payment date). 8) Forward guidance and management commentary on key project milestones or commissioning dates. 9) Any material one‑off adjustments, impairments, or disposals. 10) Auditor opinion (clean/qualified) and subsequent events noted.

Each numeric item should include the citation line (e.g., "Source: BULGOLD press release, Apr 14, 2026") so we can attribute. If the release contains pro forma or non‑GAAP metrics (AISC, EBITDA, adjusted EPS), include the reconciliation schedules or notes. Without these inputs we cannot produce definitive YoY comparisons, margins, or capex efficiency metrics.

Sector Implications and Peer Comparison Framework

Once we have the raw numbers we will apply a comparative framework: (A) YoY growth rates for revenue, net income, production and AISC; (B) margin analysis vs peers — for example, comparing BULGOLD AISC to mid‑tier gold producers such as Newcrest or Kirkland Lake (peer selection will be finalized based on company scale and jurisdiction); and (C) balance sheet health metrics including net debt/EBITDA, cash runway, and covenant headroom. Institutional investors require quantified comparisons: e.g., "Revenue grew 12% YoY to USD X, while AISC increased 8% YoY to USD Y/oz, leaving EBITDA margin at Z% vs peer median of W% (source: company FY2025 release; S&P Global Market Intelligence)."

Operationally, production guidance versus actuals is critical. If BULGOLD reported FY2025 production of 120,000 oz (example only) versus guidance of 130,000 oz, that variance drives questions about grade, mine sequencing, and sustaining capital. Similarly, a reported net debt position (e.g., net debt USD 45m as of Dec 31, 2025) changes risk assessment and cost of capital assumptions. Please provide actuals; the example figures above are illustrative and should not be used in analysis.

Fazen Markets Perspective

Our preliminary, contrarian view — conditional on receiving the primary data — is that headline earnings moves in mid‑tier mining companies often overstate or understate economic profitability when capital expenditure cycles are in transition. Specifically, if BULGOLD reports higher revenue but simultaneously widens AISC, conventional headline metrics may look positive while underlying free cash flow compresses. Conversely, conservative accounting (higher depreciation or a one‑off impairment) can depress reported EPS even as operating cash flow improves. We will look for signs of capex transformations (a ramp in sustaining/expansion capex), balance sheet repairs (asset sales, equity raises), and management guidance changes. That non‑obvious signal — divergence between operating cash flow and reported net income — is often the best early indicator of whether a recovery in EBITDA will translate to shareholder value.

Practical steps we will take on receipt of data include: constructing a three‑scenario cash‑flow model (base, upside, downside) through FY2028; benchmarking AISC and cash costs against a selected peer set; and stress‑testing debt capacity under 200–400 bps higher local interest rates and a 15–30% drop in realised commodity prices. For readers who prefer a short primer on our modelling approach, see our internal methodology page here: topic.

Risk Assessment

Key risk vectors we will quantify once the numbers are available include: commodity price sensitivity (USD/oz), grade and throughput variability risk, currency exposure (if costs are in local currency but revenue in USD), permitting or geopolitical risk, and liquidity risk stemming from maturities or covenant triggers. For each identified risk we will calculate a downside cash‑flow tail that demonstrates how many quarters of stress the current liquidity position can withstand. If the company reports any contingent liabilities, legal disputes, or environmental provisions in its FY filing, please include those verbatim so we can model probabilistic outcomes and expected value adjustments.

How you can help — specific deliverables we need now

To proceed, please paste the company FY press release (ideally the full PDF), the audited financial statements, or the investor presentation that accompanied the FY release. If you prefer, provide the following minimum set of fields: 1) FY end date; 2) Revenue (FY and FY‑1) with currency; 3) Net income (FY and FY‑1) and EPS; 4) Production volumes and grade (FY and FY‑1); 5) AISC or cash cost per ounce; 6) Capex (sustaining and growth) and FY2026 guidance; 7) Cash and net debt at year‑end; 8) Any declared dividend or buyback; 9) Managements’ guidance and key project milestones. Once received, we will produce a full institutional note with YoY figures, peer comparisons, and a quantified impact matrix. For examples of our prior notes and sector methodology see our resource hub: topic.

FAQ

Q: If I only have an investor presentation and not the audited statements, can you proceed? A: Yes — an investor presentation often contains the headline numbers we need to start. However, audited financials are required to reconcile non‑GAAP metrics and to verify the accounting treatment of one‑offs, impairments, and tax effects. We can produce a preliminary note from the presentation and then update it after reviewing the audited statements.

Q: How will Fazen Markets handle restatements or qualified audit opinions? A: If the filing includes restatements or a qualified opinion, we will highlight the nature, quantify the effect on previously reported comparatives, and adjust trailing metrics (TTM EBITDA, net debt/EBITDA) accordingly. We will also run sensitivity cases that assume the restatement is material (greater than 10% of operating profit) vs immaterial.

Bottom Line

I cannot produce a definitive institutional analysis based solely on the Seeking Alpha summary dated Apr 14, 2026; please provide the primary FY filing, press release, or the specific numeric fields listed above so Fazen Markets can deliver a full, data‑driven note with peer comparisons and scenario analysis.
