Hedge Against Inflation

(in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted)

TORONTO, May 4, 2022 /CNW/ - "I am pleased to announce another strong quarter demonstrating our high margin business", stated Paul Brink, President & CEO. "The portfolio benefited from strong precious metal, energy and iron ore prices. The Energy contribution was particularly strong, offset somewhat by lower precious metal deliveries. Total GEOs are on track to meet annual guidance. Our NSR and stream interests are inflation-proof and our G&A expenses are less than 3% of revenue. This allows revenue growth to translate directly into expanded earnings.  Franco-Nevada is debt-free and is growing its cash balances. Our recent Asset Handbook highlighted good resource growth at our assets and we have a strong pipeline of precious metal opportunities."

For Q1 2022, we earned $338.8 million in revenue, up 9.7% from Q1 2021. The growth was primarily driven by higher realized oil and gas prices from our Energy assets and revenue from our Vale Royalty. These more than offset the decrease in Precious Metal revenue and resulted in 71.7% of our revenue being sourced from Precious Metal assets (55.4% gold, 12.1% silver, 4.2% PGM). Revenue was sourced 90.4% from the Americas (30.2% South America, 23.4% Central America & Mexico, 21.6% U.S. and 15.2% Canada).

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Updates

During the quarter, we made further progress on our diversity goals with additional diverse representation through recruitment at the senior management level.  We also published our fourth annual ESG report providing comprehensive emissions disclosure for our producing mining assets and our second year of TCFD and SASB-aligned disclosure. We continue to work with our partners on expanding our community contributions.

Portfolio Additions

  • Acquisition of Caserones Royalty: Subsequent to quarter-end, on April 14, 2022, we agreed to acquire an effective 0.4582% NSR royalty on JX Nippon Mining and Metals Group's producing Caserones copper-molybdenum mine located in the Atacama Region of northern Chile for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $37.4 million. In connection with the royalty acquisition, we completed a $10.0 million private placement with EMX Royalty Corporation ("EMX"). EMX used the proceeds from the private placement to acquire an NSR on the Caserones mine on similar terms as Franco-Nevada.
  • Acquisition of Additional Castle Mountain Royalty: Subsequent to quarter-end, on May 2, 2022, we acquired an existing 2% NSR on gold and silver produced from the Pacific Clay claims, which comprise a portion of the JSLA pit of Equinox Gold's Castle Mountain project in San Bernardino County, California, for $6.0 million. When combined with our 2.65% NSR on the broader Castle Mountain land position, we now have a 4.65% NSR on the Pacific Clay claims.

Q1 2022 Portfolio Updates

Precious Metal assets: GEOs from our Precious Metal assets were 128,627, compared to 145,969 GEOs sold in Q1 2021. Higher contributions from Guadalupe-Palmarejo and Candelaria were more than offset by lower deliveries from Hemlo, Antamina and Antapaccay.

South America:

  • Candelaria (gold and silver stream) – GEOs delivered and sold increased in Q1 2022 compared to Q1 2021. Copper and gold production were higher than in the prior year quarter primarily due to better grades. Deliveries in Q1 2021 were also relatively low due to the timing of shipments.
  • Antapaccay (gold and silver stream) – GEOs delivered and sold were lower in Q1 2022 compared to Q1 2021, due to anticipated lower than normal grades in 2022, as well as lower recoveries reflecting a temporarily elevated strip ratio.
  • Antamina (22.5% silver stream) – GEOs delivered and sold were lower in Q1 2022 compared to Q1 2021. In the prior year period, we benefited from particularly strong silver production as well as a more favourable GEO conversion ratio. In mid-April 2022, Antamina applied for an amendment to its currently approved environment impact study. The primary scope is to extend mine life from 2028 to 2036 by increasing storage capacities for waste and tailings in their current locations.
  • Cascabel (1% royalty) – In April 2022, SolGold released a prefeasibility study on the Cascabel project. The prefeasibility study mine plan targets the high grade core of the Alpala deposit with an initial Mineral Reserve of 558 million tonnes containing 3.3 million tonnes of copper at 0.58%, 9.4 million ounces of gold at 0.52 g/t and 30 million ounces of silver at 1.65 g/t over an initial 26-year mine life. SolGold plans to release a prefeasibility study addendum to include the Tandayama-America deposit in H2 2022 and a feasibility study in H2 2023.
  • Posse (Mara Rosa) (1% royalty) – In April 2022, Hochschild Mining announced the completion of the acquisition of Amarillo Gold, including Amarillo's flagship Posse gold project, located in Brazil. Hochschild is targeting for construction to start in 2022, with production commencing in 2024.

Central America & Mexico:

  • Cobre Panama (gold and silver stream) – GEOs sold were relatively consistent with those sold in Q1 2021. For Q1 2022, Cobre Panama delivered copper production of 78,337 tonnes and achieved a record mill throughput of 7.6 million tonnes in March. Copper production was marginally down from Q4 2021 on slightly lower throughput due to planned SAG mill relines. Lower head grade compared to the same period in Q1 2021 accounted for 5% lower copper production, but full-year grades are expected to be consistent with full year 2021.
  • Guadalupe-Palmarejo (50% gold stream) – GEOs sold from Guadalupe-Palmarejo increased in Q1 2022 compared to the same quarter in 2021, owing to higher production from ground covered by the stream and higher mill throughput.

U.S.:

  • Stillwater (5% royalty) – GEOs from Stillwater decreased compared to Q1 2021. Production has been impacted by operational challenges and restrictions following a fatality in June 2021. Sibanye-Stillwater is assessing the operational output to optimise for operational constraints and market conditions.
  • Castle Mountain (2.65-4.65% royalties) – In 2021, Equinox Gold completed a feasibility study for a proposed Phase 2 expansion that is expected to increase average production to more than 200,000 ounces of gold annually, from 25,300 ounces produced in 2021. Equinox Gold submitted the Phase 2 permit amendment application in March 2022.
  • Rosemont/Copper World (2.085% royalty) – Hudbay Minerals is expecting to complete a preliminary economic assessment contemplating the development of the Copper World deposits in conjunction with the Rosemont deposit in the first half of 2022.
  • Stibnite (1.7% royalty) – Perpetua Resources announced that permitting continues to progress at its Stibnite Gold project and that it expects the U.S. Forest Service to publish a Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement for public review and comment in early Q3 2022.

Canada:

  • Detour Lake (2% royalty) – In Q1 2022, Agnico Eagle reported new high-grade intersections at Detour Lake confirming the existence of a broad and continuous corridor of mineralization with the system remaining open at depth. An updated life of mine plan is expected in H2 2022. Agnico Eagle is also evaluating the potential to expand operations to 32 million tonnes per year and develop an underground mining operation.
  • Hemlo (3% royalty & 50% NPI) – Revenue from Hemlo was significantly lower than in Q1 2021 reflecting a decrease in production from ground where Franco-Nevada has royalty interests and higher operating costs which affected royalties under the NPI. Barrick expects improved underground activity in 2022.
  • Brucejack (1.2% royalty) – In March 2022, Newcrest Mining completed the acquisition of Pretium and the Brucejack mine. Newcrest Mining is focused on exploring the near-mine, extensional and district scale opportunity across the Brucejack district.
  • Kirkland Lake (1.5-5.5% royalty & 50% NPI) – Agnico Eagle reported that the focus at Macassa is on completing Shaft #4 infrastructure and ramping up production. Agnico Eagle is also evaluating the potential integration of the Amalgamated Kirkland ("AK") deposit with production potentially starting in 2024. Franco-Nevada has an effective 3.5% NSR on the AK claims.
  • Canadian Malartic (1.5% royalty) – Production continues to transition from the Malartic pit to the Barnat pit. The Odyssey underground project, which is expected to extend the life of the complex to at least 2039, is progressing as planned with shaft sinking expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2022. Infill and step-out drilling at the East Gouldie zone, where Franco-Nevada's royalty claims cover a portion of the deposit, support continuity and point to increased scale.
  • Island Gold (0.62% royalty) – In April 2022, Alamos Gold reported that the Ontario Government had approved the Closure Plan Amendment for the Phase III Expansion which allows for the commencement of construction activities. An optimized mine plan is expected to be released mid-2022 and completion of the Phase III expansion is expected in 2025.
  • Ring of Fire (1-3% royalties) – In April 2022, Wyloo completed its acquisition of Noront. In addition to owning several royalties over Wyloo's property, Franco-Nevada also has a loan receivable from Noront that had a contractual maturity date of September 30, 2022. Subsequent to Q1 2022, following the change of control, we elected for repayment of the loan and received $42.7 million on May 4, 2022.
  • Valentine Lake (2% royalty) – In April 2022, Marathon Gold reported that, upon receipt of final regulatory approvals and site permits, it intends to start early works activities in Q3 2022, supporting a schedule for first gold production in late 2024. A new technical report is also being prepared for Q4 2022. Marathon Gold continues to report positive exploration results at the Berry and Victory deposits.
  • Eskay Creek (1% royalty) – In March 2022, Skeena Resources announced further drilling results from the 2021 regional and near mine exploration programs at Eskay Creek including the 21A West Zone expansion discovery.

Rest of World:

  • Karma (4.875% gold stream) – In March 2022, Endeavour Mining sold its 90% interest in Karma to Néré Mining.
  • Duketon (2% royalty) – Development of the Garden Well South underground mine continues to progress, with commissioning of the primary pump station and first ore delivered during Q1 2022 and stoping in late Q2 2022.
  • Aphrodite (2.5% royalty) – In April 2022, St Barbara announced the completion of its acquisition of Bardoc Gold. The acquisition is expected to advance the development of the Bardoc Gold project, which encompasses the Aphrodite underground deposit, located in Western Australia.
  • Séguéla (1.2% royalty) - In March 2022, Fortuna Silver Mines announced a maiden Inferred Mineral Resource estimate for the satellite Sunbird discovery of 3.4 million tonnes at an average grade of 3.16 g/t gold containing 350,000 gold ounces.

Diversified assets:  Our Diversified assets, primarily comprising our Iron Ore and Energy interests, generated $96.0 million in revenue, up from $51.7 million in Q1 2021. The increase is primarily due to higher realized oil and gas prices and the addition of the Vale Royalty in April 2021. 

Iron Ore:  

  • Vale Royalty (iron ore royalty) – We recorded $16.8 million in revenue from our Vale Royalty. Revenue recorded in Q1 2022 included $4.5 million of royalty payments related to the H2 2021 production period, reflecting retroactive volume adjustments and higher realized prices. As the royalty was acquired in April 2021, there is no revenue in the comparative period.
  • LIORC – LIORC declared a cash dividend of C$0.50 per common share, compared to C$1.00 per common share in Q1 2021, reflecting lower iron ore prices. Iron Ore Company of Canada ("IOC") reported increased capital expenditures to upgrade existing infrastructure at the Carol Lake mine.

Energy:

  • Marcellus (1% royalty) – Revenue from the Marcellus asset increased compared to Q1 2021. Production was relatively consistent compared to the prior-year period, but revenues benefited from significantly higher NGL and natural gas prices.
  • Haynesville (various royalty rates) – Revenue from the Haynesville portfolio increased compared to Q1 2021, reflecting current high NGL and natural gas prices.
  • SCOOP/STACK (various royalty rates) – Revenue from the SCOOP/STACK increased compared to Q1 2021 due to slightly higher production from our royalties acquired through the Royalty Acquisition Venture with Continental, as well as higher prices.
  • Permian Basin (various royalty rates) – Revenue from the Permian basin increased compared to Q1 2021. The increase in revenue in the current period reflects higher realized prices, while volumes were relatively consistent with those produced in the prior year period.
  • Weyburn (NRI, ORR, WI) – Revenue from the Weyburn Unit was significantly higher compared to Q1 2021, reflecting the increase in commodity prices and the operating leverage of our NRI.

ENDNOTES:

  1. GEOs: Starting in Q4 2021, revenue from Franco-Nevada's Energy assets is included in the calculation of GEOs. GEOs for comparative periods have been recalculated to conform with the current presentation. GEOs include Franco-Nevada's attributable share of production from our Mining and Energy assets after applicable recovery and payability factors. GEOs are estimated on a gross basis for NSR royalties and, in the case of stream ounces, before the payment of the per ounce contractual price paid by the Company. For NPI royalties, GEOs are calculated taking into account the NPI economics. Silver, platinum, palladium, iron ore, oil, gas and other commodities are converted to GEOs by dividing associated revenue, which includes settlement adjustments, by the relevant gold price. The price used in the computation of GEOs earned from a particular asset varies depending on the royalty or stream agreement, which may make reference to the market price realized by the operator, or the average price for the month, quarter, or year in which the commodity was produced or sold. For Q1 2022, the average commodity prices were as follows: $1,874/oz gold (Q1 2021 - $1,794), $24.00/oz silver (Q1 2021 - $26.26), $1,041/oz platinum (Q1 2021 - $1,161) and $2,423/oz palladium (Q1 2021 - $2,405), $142/t Fe 62% CFR China (Q1 2021 - $166), $94.29/bbl WTI oil (Q1 2021 - $57.84) and $4.57/mcf Henry Hub natural gas (Q1 2021 - $2.73).
  2. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES:  Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIDA per share, and Margin are non-GAAP financial measures with no standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers.
