All amounts are in United States dollars, unless otherwise stated.

TORONTO, Feb. 18, 2026 — Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX:AGI; NYSE:AGI) (“Alamos” or the “Company”) today reported its financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.

“Our full year production was lower than planned and costs higher due to a challenging year at our Canadian operations. Despite these challenges, we established a number of new financial records including record free cash flow of $352 million while investing in our high-return growth initiatives. This included advancing the Phase 3+ Shaft Expansion, delivering a 32% increase in Mineral Reserves, and incorporating that growth into a larger expansion of the Island Gold District,” said John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“Collectively, we expect these growth projects to drive a significant improvement into 2026, and sustained low-cost growth over the next five years to approximately one million ounces annually by 2030. All of this growth is in Canada, and we expect to fund it all internally while generating increasing free cash flow. Reflecting this strong outlook and growing free cash flow, we are pleased to announce a 60% increase in our dividend,” Mr. McCluskey added.

Operational and Financial Highlights

• Produced 545,400 ounces of gold in 2025, below revised annual guidance and a 4% decrease from 2024.

• Cash and cash equivalents were $623.1 million at December 31, 2025, up from $463.1 million at the end of the third quarter, and $327.2 million at the end of 2024.

Mineral Reserves and Resources, Growth Projects and Other Highlights

• Announced the Island Gold District Expansion Study (“IGD Expansion Study”) on February 3, 2026, outlining a long-life operation that is expected to become one of the largest, lowest-cost, and most profitable gold mines in Canada. Compared to the Base Case Life of Mine Plan (the “Base Case LOM Plan”) released in June 2025, the IGD Expansion incorporates a 30% increase in Mineral Reserves and an expansion of the Magino mill to 20,000 tpd, driving increased annual production of 534,000 ounces over the initial 10 years (starting in 2028) at average mine-site AISC of $1,025 per ounce. At a gold price of $4,500 per ounce and USD/CAD foreign exchange rate of $0.74:1, the Island Gold District has an estimated after-tax net present value (“NPV”) (5%) of $12.2 billion, making it one of the most valuable gold mines in Canada
• Issued three-year guidance on February 4, 2026, with production expected to increase 12% in 2026 to between 570,000 and 650,000 ounces, and 46% by 2028 to between 755,000 and 835,000 ounces. AISC are expected to decrease 18% by 2028 relative to 2025, driven by low-cost growth from the Island Gold District following the completion of the Phase 3+ Shaft Expansion late in 2026 and the IGD Expansion in 2028. Further growth in production and reduction in costs is expected after the completion of the Lynn Lake project in 2029

• Reported year-end 2025 Mineral Reserves of 15.9 million ounces (265 million tonnes (“mt”)), a 32% increase from the end of 2024, with grades also increasing 5% to 1.87 grams per tonne (“g/t Au”). The growth was driven by the successful conversion of a large portion of Mineral Resources to Reserves at the Island Gold District. Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources also increased 6% to 5.5 million ounces (119 mt grading 1.44 g/t Au) driven by additions at Young-Davidson, Lynn Lake and Mulatos. Inferred Mineral Resources decreased 63% to 2.0 million ounces (35 mt grading 1.82 g/t Au) reflecting the successful conversion of Mineral Resources at the Island Gold District to Reserves
• Advanced the Phase 3+ Shaft Expansion at the Island Gold District. This included shaft sink progressing to a depth of 1,350 metres (“m”), or 98% of the ultimate depth, and advancing the paste plant construction. The Phase 3+ Shaft Expansion completion is expected in the fourth quarter of 2026
• Announced an updated development plan for the Lynn Lake project incorporating the BT and Linkwood deposits, and several scope changes including a 13% increase in mill capacity to 9,000 tpd, driving production higher and stronger economics. Lynn Lake is expected to average 186,000 ounces over its initial 10-years at first quartile mine-site AISC of $829 per ounce. Construction activities are expected to ramp up in the spring of 2026, with initial production expected in the first half of 2029
• Received approval of an amendment to the existing environmental impact assessment (Manifestación de Impacto Ambiental) by Mexico’s Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources in January 2025, allowing for the start of construction on the PDA project within the Mulatos District. PDA remains on budget and on schedule for initial production by mid-2027
• Closed the sale of the Company’s Turkish development projects, which consist of Kirazlı, Ağı Dağı and Çamyurt, to Tümad Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş (“Tümad”) for total cash consideration of $470 million in October 2025. Upon closing, Alamos received the first payment of $160 million. The remaining cash payments, totaling $310 million, are expected to be received on the first and second anniversaries of the closing of the transaction
• Closed the sale of the option to earn 100% interest in the non-core Quartz Mountain Gold Project (“Quartz Mountain”), located in Oregon, to Q-Gold Resources Ltd. (“Q-Gold”) in October 2025. Quartz Mountain was sold for total consideration of up to $21 million and a 9.9% equity interest in Q-Gold
