Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. Background and basis of preparation:

Ivanhoe Electric Inc. (“Ivanhoe Electric” or “the Company”) is a United States based minerals exploration and development company with a focus on copper and other critical metals vital to electric transmission and generation, manufacturing, infrastructure development, technology, and national security. The Company’s mineral exploration efforts focus on copper as well as other metals including nickel, cobalt, platinum group elements, gold and silver. The Company’s projects include the Santa Cruz Copper Project in Arizona.

In addition to mineral projects in the United States, the Company also holds direct and indirect ownership interests, and in some cases controlling financial interests, in other non-U.S. mineral projects, and in proprietary mineral exploration and minerals-based technologies.

The Company holds a 50% interest in a joint venture with Saudi Arabian Mining Company Maaden (“Maaden”) to explore prospective land in Saudi Arabia.

The Company conducts the following business activities through certain subsidiaries:

VRB Energy Inc. (“VRB”) is establishing a United States-based grid scale vanadium redox flow battery manufacturing business. Ivanhoe Electric had an ownership interest in VRB of 90.0% as at March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025 —90.0%). VRB also holds a 49% interest in VRB Energy System (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (“VRB China”) which operates in the same industry in China.

Computational Geosciences Inc. (“CGI”), provides data analytics, geophysical modeling, software licensing and artificial intelligence services for the mineral, oil & gas, geothermal, and water exploration industries. Ivanhoe Electric had an ownership interest in CGI of 94.3% as at March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025 —94.3%).

Cordoba Minerals Corp. (“Cordoba”) sold the Alacrán copper-gold project in northern Colombia in March 2026 (Note 12). Ivanhoe Electric had an ownership interest in Cordoba of 59.3% as at March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025 —60.8%).

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Therefore, this information should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes contained on its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The information furnished herein reflects all normal recurring entries, that are in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

References to “$” refer to United States dollars.

In a prior period, management identified an immaterial misclassification in the condensed interim consolidated statement of cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. The misclassification related to proceeds of $9.7 million received from the disposal of a subsidiary which were incorrectly classified as a cash receipt from operating activities in those periods. The cash receipt has been appropriately reflected as an investing activity in the condensed interim consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The reclassification has no impact on the prior period figures in the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets and the condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

  1. Significant accounting policies:

The Company discloses in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, those accounting policies that it considers significant in determining its results of operations and financial position. There have been no material changes to, or in the application of, the accounting policies previously identified and described in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted:

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This update was issued to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The Company is required to adopt ASU 2024-03 on January 1, 2027 and is currently evaluating the expected impact on the consolidated financial statements.

  1. Use of estimates:

The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

  1. Cash and cash equivalents:

Of the total cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $19.9 million and $9.1 million, respectively, was not available for the general corporate purposes of the Company as it was held by non-wholly-owned subsidiaries.

(a) As at December 31, 2025, VRB was owed the remaining tranche of $10.3 million from its sale of 51% of the shares in VRB China to China Energy Storage Industry Co., Ltd. (“Red Sun”). At December 31, 2025, the Company recorded a provision for expected credit loss in the amount of the full second tranche payment as it was due on June 30, 2025 and had not been received.

On April 1, 2026 VRB received $5.0 million of the second tranche payment, while the remainder is still outstanding. At March 31, 2026, the Company reduced the provision for expected credit loss by $5.0 million and continues to carry a provision of $5.3 million due to prolonged delinquency, an absence of contractual modification and a high degree of risk and uncertainty with cross-border collection risk and contractual remedies.

  1. Investments subject to significant influence:

The Company’s principal investments subject to significant influence are its investment in Maaden Ivanhoe Electric Exploration and Development Limited Company ("Maaden Joint Venture") and VRB China. Others include its investments in Sama Resources Inc. (“Sama”).

On July 8, 2021, VRB issued a convertible bond for gross proceeds of $24.0 million. The bond has afive-year term and interest accrues at a rate of 8% per annum.

Prior to the maturity date of July 8, 2026, the convertible bond is automatically converted into equity of VRB upon an equity financing or sale event, at a price per share equal to the lower of:

the transaction price of the equity financing or sale event; and

the valuation cap price of $158.0 million divided by the total shares outstanding at the time of the event.

If no equity financing or sale event occurs, VRB must repay the outstanding principal and interest on maturity.

The Company has accounted for the convertible bond, including its embedded features, as a debt instrument accounted at amortized cost, as it was determined the embedded features are not required to be bifurcated.

  1. Equity:

(a) Common stock transactions:

As at December 31, 2025, the Company had 11.6 million warrants outstanding, exercisable to purchase one share of Ivanhoe Electric stock at $7.00 per share. In January and February 2026, all of the warrants were exercised for proceeds of $81.5 million.

(b) Stock-based compensation:

Stock-based payment compensation was allocated to operations as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31,
20262025
General and administrative expenses$2,107$2,560
Exploration expenses475413
$2,582$2,973

(i) Stock-settled restricted stock units ("RSU’s"):

On March 6, 2026, the Company granted 454,112 stock settled RSU's to certain officers and employees of the Company. The RSU’s vest inthree equal tranches beginningone year from the grant date. The fair value of the stock-settled RSU’s is amortized over the vesting period. The total grant date fair value of these RSU's was $6.0 million based on a grant date share price of $13.13 per share.

(ii) Performance share units ("PSU's"):

On March 6, 2026, the Company granted PSU's to certain officers and employees of the Company. The PSU's vest on December 31, 2028, with the number of units to vest determined by Ivanhoe Electric’s share price performance against constituents from a Base Metals Index. The number of units to vest ranges between zero times totwo times the target number of PSU's. The total target number of PSU's is 405,360, which isone times the target. The grant date fair value of these PSU's was $7.1 million.

Monte Carlo valuation methodology was used to determine the fair value of the PSU's, which required the input of the following assumptions.

Grant date: March 6, 2026
Expected volatility69.0%
Expected life of PSU's (in years)2.8
USA risk-free interest rate3.4%
Canada risk-free interest rate2.6%
Weighted average grant-date fair value (per unit)$17.56

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company's share price over a term commensurate with the remaining life of the PSU's. The USA risk-free interest rate was based on the yield observed on the US Dollar treasury curve as at the grant date, while the Canadian risk-free rate was based on the yield observed on the Canadian dollar government bond curve as at the grant date.

  1. Earnings per share:

Basic net income per share of common stock was computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share of common stock was calculated by including the basic weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding adjusted for the effects of all potential dilutive shares of common stock, unless their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Reconciliations of net income or loss and weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net income per share are as follows:
