* Recurring cash revenue excludes buyback premium receipts and cash gains from equity sales

** Total cash revenue is monthly cash distributions from Duke's royalty partners plus cash gains received from the sales of equity assets and buyback premiums

Neil Johnson, CEO of Duke Royalty, said:

"We are pleased to report that despite the macroeconomic backdrop, we continue to deliver revenue growth, with Q3 FY23 on course to maintain this upward trend. This is supporting the delivery of our quarterly dividend, which represents an annualised yield of over 8% at the current share price.

"In Q4 FY23, we expect to see continued new deployments, as shown by Duke's recent investment into New Path Fire & Security. Duke will be opportunistic in taking advantage of the current market where we are seeing other lenders pulling back from making new investments. Duke's access to capital and long term, aligned investment horizon is perfectly positioned for the current challenging macro environment."
