Franco-Nevada Reports Record Q2 2025 Results

Acquisitions Increase Growth Outlook (in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted) , /PRNewswire/ - "I am very pleased with our record financial results this quarter," stated Paul Brink, CEO. Our portfolio largely produced as expected for the quarter and higher gold prices contributed to record revenue, operating cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA margins2 and earnings. We also saw constructive developments in Panama, including the shipment of the remaining copper concentrate from Cobre Panama. During the quarter, we acquired a royalty on IAMGOLD's Côté Gold Mine, one of Canada's newest large-scale gold mines and, post quarter-end, a royalty on AngloGold's Arthur Project, one of the largest gold discoveries in Nevada. We anticipate new contributions from Côté and growing contributions from Porcupine and Tocantinzinho to be the main drivers for higher GEOs in the second half of the year. Our acquisitions over the last 18 months have positioned us for strong long-term growth that may be further enhanced by a potential restart at Cobre Panama.

We benefited from record gold prices during the quarter and contributions from Precious Metal assets which were acquired or commenced production in the past year. Production from our Diversified assets was in-line with expectations, although revenue was slightly lower than in Q2 2024 due to lower commodity prices. The outperformance of the gold price relative to our other commodities resulted in a reduction in GEOs reported from our Diversified assets. Precious Metal assets accounted for 82% of our revenue (70% gold, 10% silver, and 2% PGM). Revenue was sourced 86% from the Americas (38% South America, 12% Central America & Mexico, 20% Canada and 16% U.S.). Guidance Our 2025 guidance is based on assumptions including the forecasted state of operations from our assets based on the public statements and other disclosures by the third-party owners and operators of the underlying properties and our assessment thereof. We earned record revenue in H1 2025, benefiting from record gold prices and contributions from recently acquired or producing Precious Metal assets. We expect an increase in GEO sales for the latter part of 2025, as we anticipate an increase in deliveries from Antapaccay, a first full quarter of contributions from Porcupine and Côté, and initial contributions from Vale's Southeastern System. In addition, we expect approximately 10,000 GEOs from Cobre Panama in connection with the sale of concentrate that had remained on site when production was suspended in November 2023. We remain on track to meet our previously announced 2025 GEO sales guidance notwithstanding the impact of the outperformance of gold prices on the conversion of non-gold revenues into GEOs. Our 2025 updated guidance is based on the following assumed commodity prices for the remainder of 2025: $3,250/oz Au, $37/oz Ag, $1,300/oz Pt, $1,150/oz Pd, $90/tonne Fe 62% CFR China, $65/bbl WTI oil and $3.00/mcf Henry Hub natural gas. 2025 Guidance H1 2025 Actual Precious Metal GEO sales 385,000 to 425,000 GEOs 193,072 GEOs Total GEO sales 465,000 to 525,000 GEOs 238,678 GEOs Portfolio Additions Acquisition of Royalty on Arthur Gold Project: Subsequent to quarter-end, on July 23, 2025, we acquired a 1.0% NSR (of an existing 1.5% NSR) on AngloGold Ashanti plc's Arthur Gold Project (previously the Expanded Silicon Project) from Altius Minerals Corporation for $250.0 million in cash, plus a contingent cash payment of $25.0 million. Funding of the transaction was completed with cash on hand, and a $175.0 million draw from our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility. Acquisition of Additional Royalty on Gold Quarry Gold Mine: Subsequent to quarter-end, on July 11, 2025, we acquired from a third party an additional 1.62% NSR on Nevada Gold Mines LLC's Gold Quarry mine for $10.5 million plus a $1.0 million contingent payment. As a result, Franco-Nevada now holds a combined 8.91% NSR based on production with an annual minimum payment amount tied to Mineral Reserves and stockpiles attributed to the royalty property. Acquisition of Royalty on Côté Gold Mine: On June 24, 2025, we acquired an existing royalty package on the Côté Gold Mine in Ontario from a private third party for total cash consideration of $1,050.0 million. The royalty consists of a 7.5% gross margin royalty on the Côté Gold Mine. Royalty deductions include cash operating costs but exclude all capital, exploration, depreciation and other non-cash costs. The Côté Gold Mine is operated through an unincorporated joint venture by IAMGOLD Corporation and is owned by IAMGOLD (70%) and Sumitomo Metal Mining Co. Ltd. (30%). IAMGOLD and Sumitomo hold a time-limited option, exercisable at their discretion, to buy down up to 50% of the royalty at Franco-Nevada's attributable cost, plus a return, in two equal tranches of 25%. Financing Package with Discovery Silver on the Porcupine Complex: On April 15, 2025, we acquired a 4.25% NSR for $300.0 million on Discovery Silver Corp.'s Porcupine Complex, located in Ontario, Canada. We also committed to a $100.0 million senior secured term loan and provided $48.6 million (C$70.9 million) of equity financing. The financing package, totaling $448.6 million, provided Discovery with proceeds to acquire and fund a planned capital program for the Porcupine Complex. No draws have been made against the term loan facility. Cobre Panama Cobre Panama Updates Cobre Panama remains in a phase of Preservation and Safe Management ("P&SM") with production halted. First Quantum Minerals Ltd. has been working with the Government of Panama (the "GOP") and the Ministry of Commerce and Industry ("MICI") to implement a plan that would allow for the execution of environmental and asset integrity measures during the P&SM phase of Cobre Panama (the "P&SM Plan"). On May 30, 2025, the GOP, through MICI, approved and formally instructed the execution of the P&SM Plan, including the shipment of 121 thousand dry metric tonnes of copper concentrate that had been stored at site since operations were suspended in November 2023. The shipments have now been successfully completed. Franco-Nevada expects to receive approximately 10,000 GEOs (9,000 ounces of gold and 105,000 ounces of silver) in reference to the shipped copper concentrate. The deliveries, some of which have already been received subsequent to quarter-end, are largely expected in Q3 2025. As a result of the approval of the P&SM Plan and the expected stream deliveries, we recorded a partial impairment reversal of $4.1 million in Q2 2025. This carrying value will subsequently be depleted when the ounces are sold. Arbitration Updates On June 18, 2025, Franco-Nevada agreed to suspend its arbitration proceeding against the GOP. Franco-Nevada reiterates its hope for a resolution with the State of Panama providing the best outcome for the Panamanian people and all parties involved. Sustainability Updates During the quarter, we published our 2025 Sustainability Report, highlighting our 2024 achievements and reaffirming our sustainability commitments. Areas of focus include the sustainability-related performance of operators of our top producing assets, our recent community contributions, our diversity and inclusion initiatives, tracking progress against recently adopted emissions reduction targets, and our alignment with leading sustainability standards and frameworks. Franco-Nevada was also recognized for the third time on Corporate Knights' list of the Best 50 Corporate Citizens in Canada. We continued to strengthen our community engagement and contributions through operator partnerships, including support for SolGold's waste management initiative at Cascabel, construction of a community dome project near the Guadalupe project with Coeur Mining, and a bursary program for Webequie and Marten Falls First Nations in partnership with Wyloo. Q2 2025 Portfolio Updates Precious Metal assets: GEOs sold from our Precious Metal assets were 92,449 GEOs, up 12% from 82,350 GEOs in Q2 2024, primarily due to strong deliveries from Guadalupe-Palmarejo and contributions from Tocantinzinho, Western Limb Mining Operations, Yanacocha and Porcupine. Contributions from our Hemlo and Musselwhite NPIs increased significantly due to their leverage to gold prices. South America: Candelaria (gold and silver stream) – GEOs sold in Q2 2025 were slightly higher than those sold in Q2 2024. Production in the quarter benefitted from increased throughput due to softer ore feed and higher ball mill runtime due to rescheduled maintenance in the quarter. Production is expected to continue at similar levels through H2 2025. Antapaccay (gold and silver stream) – GEOs sold were lower in Q2 2025 compared to Q2 2024 due to a delay in shipments. We expect a stronger Q3, having already received significant deliveries in July 2025. Glencore anticipates H2 production at Antapaccay to benefit from higher grades. Antamina (22.5% silver stream) – Silver ounces sold in Q2 2025 were higher than in Q2 2024. Silver production in Q1 2025, for which deliveries were received in Q2 2025, was higher due to higher silver grades. In April 2025, a fatality occurred at the mine, which resulted in a shutdown of approximately one week. Operations ramped up to full production in June 2025. While annual production guidance provided by Teck remains unchanged, we expect deliveries of silver ounces in Q3 2025 to be lower than initially anticipated. Tocantinzinho (gold stream) – We sold 4,500 GEOs from Tocantinzinho in Q2 2025. During the quarter, mill performance improved following the installation of new steel liners. Nameplate capacity of 12,890 tonnes per day was reached in July 2025. Yanacocha (1.8% royalty) – Yanacocha contributed 2,412 GEOs in the quarter. Newmont reported strong production at the mine from the use of patented injection leaching technology which continues to significantly outperform compared to our initial expectations at the time of acquisition. Salares Norte (1-2% royalties) – In May 2025, Gold Fields exercised its option to buy back 1% of Franco-Nevada's 2% NSR on Salares Norte, after having paid $6.0 million in cumulative royalty payments since commencing production in Q2 2024. In May 2025, Gold Fields reported that the project continued to ramp-up production during Q1 2025 while advancing preparations for the winter period. Cascabel (gold stream and 1% royalty) – In July 2025, SolGold released a project execution plan for its Cascabel project, with first production scheduled to begin in 2028. SolGold is advancing early development activities, including securing project funding, drilling at Tandayama-America, and preparing for the commencement of long-lead construction works. Subsequent to quarter-end, on July 17, 2025, Franco-Nevada disbursed the second of three equal-sized payments of $23.3 million to fund pre-construction activities at Cascabel. Mara Rosa (1% royalty) – In June 2025, Hochschild Mining announced a temporary suspension of the processing plant to carry out maintenance activities while it carries out a comprehensive review of its operations. Central America & Mexico: Guadalupe-Palmarejo (50% gold stream) – GEOs sold from Guadalupe-Palmarejo in Q2 2025 were substantially higher than in Q2 2024, reflecting both higher overall production and a greater proportion of production being mined from stream ground. Canada: Hemlo (3% royalty and 50% NPI) – GEOs earned from Hemlo were significantly higher this quarter as the NPI benefited from higher gold prices and increased production from royalty ground. Detour Lake (2% royalty) – In Q2 2025, Agnico Eagle initiated development of the exploration ramp for the underground project with the mobilization of the contractor, completion of the ramp portal and the first blast for the exploration ramp. Exploration drilling in the West Pit zone further defined high-grade domains and drilling into the Western Extension zone further confirmed grade and continuity of the western plunge of the deposit. Sudbury (gold and PGM stream) – Since acquiring McCreedy West, Levack and Podolsky in February 2025. Magna has undertaken initiatives aimed at improving operations at McCreedy West and initiated drilling programs at both McCreedy West and Levack. Magna expects to be developing into mining areas from the 700 Copper Zone at McCreedy West that have better grades starting in Q4 2025 and is upgrading mobile equipment and increasing planned underground development. Macassa (Kirkland Lake) (1.5-5.5% royalty & 20% NPI) – Agnico Eagle reported that gold production at Macassa was higher than planned as a result of a change in mining sequence and positive grade reconciliation. Agnico Eagle continues to focus on asset optimization, with construction of the new paste plant continuing in Q2 2025 with commissioning scheduled in Q3 2025. Greenstone (3% royalty) – In June 2025, Equinox announced that it was reducing its 2025 guidance for Greenstone to between 220,000 and 260,000 gold ounces, from 300,000 to 350,000 gold ounces previously, due to slower than planned ramp-up. Magino (3% royalty) and Island Gold (0.62% royalty) – In June 2025, Alamos released a life of mine plan integrating Island Gold and Magino. The life of mine plan, which is based on mineral reserves only, outlines an average annual gold production of 411,000 ounces starting in 2026 over the initial 12 years of the 20-year mineral reserve life. Alamos anticipates releasing an expansion study later this year which is expected to include a larger mineral reserve and a potential further expansion of up to 20,000 tonnes per day. Canadian Malartic (1.5% royalty) – Agnico Eagle reported that underground development reached a quarterly record, with development of the East Gouldie production levels advancing for the planned production start up in H2 2026. Exploration drilling continued to extend the East Gouldie deposit to the east in both the upper and lower portions of the deposit. Musselwhite (2% royalty and 5% NPI) – Since acquiring the mine from Newmont in March 2025, Orla Mining has announced it intends to aggressively explore the concession, including following up on historical drilling that suggests 2 to 3 kilometres of mineralized strike potential beyond the current reserves. Valentine Gold (3% royalty) – Calibre and Equinox completed their business combination in June 2025. Equinox reported in July 2025 that construction at Valentine Gold was progressing on schedule and expects first ore through the mill in late August. First gold is expected approximately a month later with ramp-up anticipated into Q1 2026. New Prosperity (gold stream) – In June 2025, Taseko announced the signing of an agreement with the Tŝilhqot'in Nation & the province of British Columbia, providing more clarity with respect to the potential development of the copper-gold resource. Franco-Nevada has the right to acquire a 22% gold stream on the New Prosperity project for $350 million. U.S.: Copper World (2.085% royalty) – After receiving all major permits required for the development and operations of Copper World in January 2025, Hudbay commenced a process to sell a minority joint venture stake in the project and is working on a definitive feasibility study and potential construction decision in 2026. Stibnite (1.7% gold royalty, 100% silver royalty) – In June 2025, Perpetua Resources announced it had received the Clean Water Act Section 404 permit, the final federal permit for its Stibnite gold project. Perpetua also announced a $474 million equity raise to advance the project. Rest of World: Western Limb Mining Operations (gold and platinum stream) – Our recently acquired stream on Sibanye-Stillwater's Western Limb Mining Operations delivered 3,246 GEOs. In H2 2025, we expect to benefit from the increase in platinum prices, which rallied in June and subsequent to quarter-end. Subika (Ahafo) (2% royalty) – GEOs from our Subika (Ahafo) royalty were higher than in Q2 2024 reflecting strong production in the first half of 2025. Production at Subika is expected to decrease over the course of the year as mining activities in the Subika open pit are planned to be completed in H2 2025. We expect production from royalty ground to continue from the Subika Underground. Diversified assets: Our Diversified assets, primarily comprising our Iron Ore and Energy interests, generated $62.7 million in revenue, compared to $64.6 million in Q2 2024. When converted to GEOs, our Diversified assets contributed 19,644 GEOs, down 30% from 27,914 GEOs in Q2 2024. Other Mining: Vale Royalty (iron ore royalty) – Revenue from our Vale royalty decreased compared to Q2 2024. Production from the Northern System benefited from record output at S11D and lower shipping cost deductions, offset by lower estimated iron ore prices. We expect contributions from the Southeastern System to commence in H2 2025 once the cumulative sales threshold of 1.7 billion tonnes of iron ore is reached. LIORC – Revenue from our attributable interest on the Carol Lake mine in Q2 2025 was lower than in Q2 2024. Production from IOC increased compared to the prior year quarter with a Q2 record for material moved. The impact of higher production was offset by lower average realized prices. Energy: U.S. (various royalty rates) – Revenue from our U.S. Energy interests increased compared to Q2 2024. We benefited from an increase in volumes in the Permian Basin, which more than offset lower realized prices. Canada (various royalty rates) – Revenue from our Canadian Energy interests was lower than in Q2 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to our Weyburn NRI which is paid net of costs and therefore more heavily impacted by lower commodity prices.

ENDNOTES: 1. Gold Equivalent Ounces ("GEOs") and Net Gold Equivalent Ounces ("Net GEOs"): 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 NSRs 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. Where the Company receives gold and silver bullion in-kind as payment for its royalties, GEOs are recognized at the time of receipt of such bullion. 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 varies depending on the royalty or stream agreement of each particular asset, 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 Q2 2025, the average commodity prices were as follows: $3,279/oz gold (Q2 2024 - $2,338), $33.64/oz silver (Q2 2024 - $28.86), $1,073/oz platinum (Q2 2024 - $981) and $990/oz palladium (Q2 2024 - $972), $98/t Fe 62% CFR China (Q2 2024 - $110), $63.74/bbl WTI oil (Q2 2024 - $80.57) and $3.51/mcf Henry Hub natural gas (Q2 2024 - $2.34). For H1 2025, the average commodity prices were as follows: $3,071/oz gold (H1 2024 - $2,205), $32.77/oz silver (H1 2024 - $26.11), $1,021/oz platinum (2024 - $945) and $976/oz palladium (H1 2024 - $975), $101/t Fe 62% CFR China (H1 2024 - $118), $67.58/bbl WTI oil (H1 2024 - $78.77) and $3.69/mcf Henry Hub natural gas (H1 2024 - $2.22). Net GEOs are GEOs sold, net of direct operating costs, including for our stream GEOs, the associated ongoing cost per ounce.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES: Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share, Adjusted Net Income Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures with no standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS Accounting Standards") and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. For a quantitative reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure under IFRS Accounting Standards, refer to the below tables. Further information relating to these non-GAAP financial measures is incorporated by reference from the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of Franco-Nevada's MD&A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 dated August 11, 2025 filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities on SEDAR+ available at www.sedarplus.com and with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission available on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share are non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude the following from net income and earnings per share ("EPS"): impairment losses and reversal related to royalty, stream and working interests and investments; gains/losses on disposals of royalty, stream and working interests and investments; impairment losses and expected credit losses related to investments, loans receivable and other financial instruments, changes in fair value of investments, loans receivable and other financial instruments, foreign exchange gains/losses and other income/expenses; the impact of income taxes on these items; income taxes related to the reassessment of the probability of realization of previously recognized or de-recognized deferred income tax assets; and income taxes relating to the revaluation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities as a result of statutory income tax rate changes in the countries in which the Company operates. Adjusted Net Income Margin is a non-GAAP financial measure which is defined by the Company as Adjusted Net Income divided by revenue. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share are non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude the following from net income and EPS: income tax expense/recovery; finance expenses and finance income; depletion and depreciation; impairment charges and reversals related to royalty, stream and working interests and investments; gains/losses on disposals of royalty, stream and working interests and investments; impairment losses and expected credit losses related to investments, loans receivable and other financial instruments, changes in fair value of investment, loans receivable and other financial instruments, and foreign exchange gains/losses and other income/expenses. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a non-GAAP financial measure which is defined by the Company as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.
