Mako Mining posts record $68.6M Q1 revenue on soaring gold prices
Mako Mining (NASDAQ:MAKO) reported record financial and operational performance for the first quarter of 2026, driven by an unprecedented surge in global bullion prices and production contributions across its expanding North American asset portfolio.
The gold producer, which recently listed its shares on the NASDAQ under the ticker MAKO, generated total revenue of $68.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
The record top-line result allowed the company to deliver an adjusted EBITDA of $40.1 million and Mine Operating Cash Flow (OCF) of $46.1 million.
Consolidated net income reached $23.1 million, translating to earnings of $0.26 per share.
Mako's first-quarter performance was heavily supported by a historically high macro pricing environment.
The company sold 13,721 ounces of gold during the quarter at an average realized price of $4,902 per ounce.
Production volumes were anchored by the core San Albino mine in Nicaragua, which contributed 10,398 ounces of sales, and the newly integrated Moss Mine in Arizona, which accounted for 3,323 ounces.
However, escalating operational complexities partially offset the revenue windfall.
The company reported cash costs of $1,843 per ounce and an All-In Sustaining Cost (AISC) of $2,275 per ounce for the quarter, influenced by a high waste-to-ore strip ratio of 43.9:1 at San Albino and initial ramp-up activities at the Moss facility.
The high-margin environment significantly bolstered the company's capital efficiency and balance sheet.
Mako reported a Return on Equity (ROE) of 36.4% and a Return on Average Assets (ROA) of 23.5% for the period.
The firm concluded the first quarter with a combined $96.1 million in cash and trade receivables while maintaining a debt-free status, following the complete settlement of an outstanding $13.2 million annual tax obligation.
