02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition. Announcement of Receipt of Quarterly Royalty Report and Royalty Payment On October 30, 2025, Mesabi Trust received the quarterly royalty report of iron ore shipments out of Silver Bay, Minnesota during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 (the "Royalty Report") from Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. ("Cliffs"), the parent company of Northshore Mining Company ("Northshore"). As further explained under Item 7.01 below, the Royalty Report indicated that Mesabi Trust received total royalty payments of $4,005,142 on October 30, 2025.
01 Regulation FD
Item 7.01 Regulation FD. Quarterly Royalty Report and Royalty Payment On October 30, 2025, the Trustees of Mesabi Trust received the Royalty Report from Cliffs, the parent company of Northshore. As reported to Mesabi Trust by Cliffs in the Royalty Report, based on shipments of iron ore products by Northshore during the three months ended September 30, 2025, Mesabi Trust was credited with a base royalty of $2,817,500. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, Mesabi Trust was also credited with a bonus royalty in the amount of $973,410. The royalty payment received by the Trust did not include any adjustments related to prior quarters. In addition, a royalty payment of $214,232 was paid to the Mesabi Land Trust. Accordingly, the total royalty payments received by Mesabi Trust on October 30, 2025 from Cliffs were $4,005,142. The royalties paid to Mesabi Trust are based on the volume of iron ore pellets and other products produced or shipped during the quarter and the year to date, the pricing of iron ore product sales, and the percentage of iron ore pellet production and shipments from Mesabi Trust lands rather than from non-Mesabi Trust lands. In the third calendar quarter of 2025, Cliffs credited Mesabi Trust with 987,370 tons of iron ore shipped, as compared to 972,154 tons shipped during the third calendar quarter of 2024. Cliffs' Royalty Report reported three sale transactions of iron ore pellets shipped to a single third-party during September 2025, which are subject to continued due diligence review. Cliffs' Royalty Report also indicated that royalty calculations are based on prices that are subject to change. The volume of iron ore pellets (and other iron ore products) produced or shipped by Northshore varies from quarter to quarter and year to year based on a number of factors, including, among others, Cliffs' decisions to idle Northshore operations (which occurred from May 2022 until April 2023), the requested delivery schedules of customers (
Forward-Looking Statements
Forward-Looking Statements This report contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to iron ore pellet production, iron ore pricing and adjustments to pricing, shipments by Northshore during 2025, royalty (including bonus royalty) amounts, and other matters, which statements are intended to be made under the safe harbor protections of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Actual production, prices, price adjustments, and shipments of iron ore pellets, as well as actual royalty payments (including bonus royalties) could differ materially from current expectations due to inherent risks and uncertainties such as general adverse business and industry economic trends, uncertainties arising from war, terrorist events, imposition or termination of duties or tariffs, including retaliatory tariffs, and other global events, higher or lower customer demand for steel and iron ore, decisions by mine operators regarding curtailments or idling production lines or entire plants, environmental compliance uncertainties, difficulties in obtaining and renewing necessary operating permits, higher imports of steel and iron ore substitutes, processing difficulties, consolidation and restructuring in the domestic steel market, market inputs tied to indexed price adjustment factors found in some pellet supply agreements between Cliffs and some of its customers, resulting in future adjustments to royalties payable to Mesabi Trust and other factors. In addition, any future production curtailments or idling of Northshore operations, about which the Trust may have little or no prior notice, could materially adversely affect the royalty income of the Trust, as well as the resulting cash available for distribution by the Trust to Unitholders. Further, such developments could have a material adverse impact on the market price of the Trust's Units. Although the Mesabi Trustees believe that any such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumpti
