These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“interim financial statements”) of Fortitude Gold Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures required by United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules, although the Company believes that the disclosures included are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The interim financial statements included herein are expressed in United States dollars and in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring nature) and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation. The results reported in these interim financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year.

Operating Segments and Related Disclosures

Operating Segments and Related Disclosures

We manage our company as one reportable operating segment, mining operations, which produces gold for sale to our customers. The segment information aligns with how the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reviews and manages our business. The Company’s CODM is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

Financial information and annual operating plans and forecasts are prepared and reviewed by the CODM at a consolidated level. The CODM assesses performance for the mining operations segment and decides how to better allocate resources based on consolidated net income that is reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company's objective in making resource allocation decisions is to optimize the consolidated financial results. The accounting policies of our mining operations segment are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Refer to Note 1 to the financial statements included in the Company’s 10-K report for the year ended December 31, 2025 for a description of our Significant Accounting Policies.
