On-Track to Meet Full Year Guidance

(in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted)

“Our diversified portfolio performed well in the quarter with declines in precious metal prices partially offset by strong oil and gas prices”, stated Paul Brink, CEO. “Cobre Panama’s record production for the quarter is not fully reflected in our Q3 GEO sales due to timing of shipments. Franco-Nevada has record GEOs, revenue, net income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA for the three quarters through September 30, 2022 and is on-track to meet full year guidance. The weaker gold price environment has led to an increase in demand for royalty and stream financing. We are pleased to have acquired a royalty on Argonaut’s Magino project in Ontario that is currently under construction and our business development group remains very active.”

In Q3 2022, we earned $304.2 million in revenue, down 3.8% from Q3 2021. The decrease was driven by lower revenue from our Precious Metal and Iron Ore assets reflecting lower metal prices, largely offset by higher revenue from our Energy assets due to realized oil and gas prices. Precious Metal revenue accounted for 67.9% of our revenue (54.7% gold, 10.0% silver, 3.2% PGM). Revenue was sourced 90.1% from the Americas (27.7% South America, 20.2% Central America & Mexico, 26.1% U.S. and 16.1% Canada).

Environmental, Social and Governance Updates

During the quarter, we expanded the Franco-Nevada Diversity Scholarship program by awarding four new tuition scholarships to diverse mining engineering students attending McGill, UofT and Queens. As part of the Magino transaction, we committed to $225,000 of environmental and community-support programs over three years. We continue to rank highly with leading ESG rating agencies.

Q3 2022 Portfolio Updates

Precious Metal assets: GEOs sold from our Precious Metal assets were 120,542, compared to 127,692 GEOs in Q3 2021. Higher contributions from Candelaria, Tasiast and Sudbury were more than offset by lower deliveries from Cobre Panama, Stillwater, Antamina and Guadalupe-Palmarejo.

South America:

• Candelaria (gold and silver stream) – GEOs delivered and sold in Q3 2022 were higher than in Q3 2021 due to higher head grades. Lundin Mining reported that following the detection of a sinkhole on July 30, 2022, operations at the Alcaparrosa mine, which is part of the Candelaria operations, remain suspended. Lundin expects the suspension of operations to reduce Candelaria’s copper production by 2%.
• Antapaccay (gold and silver stream) – GEOs delivered and sold were consistent in Q3 2022 compared to Q3 2021 due to the timing of shipments. For the first nine months of 2022, copper production at Antapaccay was lower than in the same period in 2021 due to anticipated lower grades and a temporarily elevated strip ratio which is expected to improve during 2023.
• Antamina (22.5% silver stream) – GEOs delivered and sold were lower in Q3 2022 compared to Q3 2021. As expected, silver ounces sold decreased in the current quarter compared to the prior year period where silver production was particularly strong. In addition, the decrease in GEOs reflects a less favourable silver to gold GEO conversion ratio when compared to the 2021 period.
• Salares Norte (1-2% royalty) – Gold Fields reported total project completion for the construction of Salares Norte of 82% at the end of September 2022. First production, which has been expected at the end of March 2023, may be marginally delayed by a few months as construction has been impacted by COVID and severe weather.
• Tocantinzinho (gold stream) – In September 2022, G Mining Ventures announced that its board of directors made a formal decision to proceed with the construction of the Tocantinzinho gold project and that it had received extension for key installation licenses. First gold production is expected in H2 2024 with the first full year of production in 2025. Franco-Nevada currently anticipates that funding for its recently acquired stream of $250 million will commence in H1 2023.
• Cascabel (1% royalty) – In October 2022, SolGold and Cornerstone Capital Resources announced a friendly merger, consolidating the ownership of the Cascabel project under one combined entity. Prior to the agreement, the Cascabel project was owned by SolGold and Cornerstone on an 80%/20% basis, respectively.
• Cerro Moro (2% royalty) – Yamana advanced ore sorting testing and plans for a phased plant expansion to increase production up to 200,000 gold equivalent ounces from the current ten-year outlook of 150,000-160,000 gold equivalent ounces per year.

Central America & Mexico:

• Cobre Panama (gold and silver stream) – First Quantum reported record quarterly copper production of 92,000 tonnes and mill throughput of 22.4 million tonnes in Q3 2022. Copper production guidance for 2022 has been narrowed from 330,000 – 360,000 tonnes to 340,000 – 350,000 tonnes. Franco-Nevada received and sold fewer GEOs than in Q3 2021 due to the timing of shipments.
• Guadalupe-Palmarejo (50% gold stream) – GEOs sold from Guadalupe-Palmarejo decreased in Q3 2022 compared to the same quarter in 2021 due to a lower proportion of production being sourced from ground covered by our stream.

U.S.:

• Stillwater (5% royalty) – GEOs from Stillwater decreased compared to Q3 2021 due to lower realized palladium and platinum prices and PGM production. In August 2022, Sibanye-Stillwater announced a revised mine plan prompted by various operational constraints and changing market conditions, reducing production growth to 700,000 PGM ounces by 2027, down from 850,000 PGM ounces previously expected. Production in Q3 2022 at the East Boulder operation was also impacted by a Mine Health and Safety Administration stop order from September 18, 2022.
• Copper World/East Pit (Rosemont) (2.085% royalty) – Hudbay is prioritizing the completion of the pre-feasibility study, state level permits, bulk sampling program and a minority joint venture partner process in 2023, and deferred the definitive feasibility study to 2024. Hudbay also submitted remaining state permit applications for Phase I in September and October 2022.
• Stibnite Gold (1.7% royalty) – Perpetua Resources announced that the U.S. Forest Service released the Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement for public comment in October 2022, with comments due in January 2023.

Canada:

• Detour Lake (2% royalty) – In October 2022, Agnico Eagle reported that improvements to increase mill throughput to 28 million tonnes per year continue to advance as planned, achieving daily average throughput equivalent to 28 mtpa for the month of September 2022. Agnico Eagle completed a technical evaluation which extended the expected mine life of Detour by 10 years to 2052 and is also evaluating the potential to expand operations to 32 mtpa, develop an underground mining operation and increase production to 1.0 million ounces or more per year.
• Hemlo (3% royalty & 50% NPI) – Revenue from our Hemlo royalties was higher than in Q3 2021 reflecting an increase in production on royalty lands. Barrick reported that it expects Hemlo to be below its 2022 guidance range of 160,000 to 180,000 ounces following lower production in Q3 2022 driven by lower ore grades mined and processed, as well as an impact to productivity from a temporary water inflow that occurred in late Q2 2022.
• Brucejack (1.2% royalty) – Newcrest Mining announced on October 24, 2022, that it had suspended operations at the Brucejack mine due to a fatality. An investigation into the incident is currently underway.
• Kirkland Lake (1.5-5.5% royalty & 20% NPI) – Agnico Eagle reported that the focus at Macassa remains on completing Shaft #4 infrastructure, with commissioning expected to commence in December 2022 and completion in the first quarter of 2023. The extension of the ramp from Macassa to the Amalgamated Kirkland (“AK”) deposit is now completed, with two underground drills operating in the ramp. Agnico Eagle believes ore could be sourced from AK for the Macassa mill in early 2024. Franco-Nevada has multiple royalties at Macassa that include AK.
• Canadian Malartic (1.5% royalty) – Agnico Eagle reported that the Odyssey underground project, which is expected to extend the life of the complex to at least 2039, is progressing on schedule and on budget, with shaft sinking activities expected to commence in January 2023 and initial pre-commercial production in March 2023.
• Island Gold (0.62% royalty) – Alamos Gold reported construction activities on the Phase 3+ Expansion have increased, with pre-sinking of the shaft having started in August 2022. The Phase 3+ Expansion is expected to more than double gold production to an average of 287,000 ounces per year starting in 2026.
• Greenstone (Hardrock) (3% royalty) – Equinox Gold reported that construction of the project is on schedule and budget, with the Greenstone project 57% complete as of the end of October 2022 and first gold pour expected in H1 2024.
• Valentine Lake (2% royalty) – Marathon Gold reported that early works commenced in October 2022, following the project’s release from environmental assessment in both the province of Newfoundland and Labrador and federally. Marathon Gold anticipates first ore to the mill at the end of 2024 and, first gold production early 2025 with production ramping-up during the first quarter of 2025.
• Ring of Fire (1-3% royalties) – Exploration activities resumed at the Eagle’s Nest project, with drilling to finalize infrastructure planning for the mine’s development, a diamond drilling program, geological surveys and collection of soil samples. Noront Resources was renamed Ring of Fire Metals following its acquisition by Wyloo Metals in May 2022.
• Eskay Creek (1% royalty) – Skeena Resources released a feasibility study for the Eskay Creek project, outlining average annual production of 431,000 gold equivalent ounces for years 1 to 5 and total life of mine production of 3.2 million gold equivalent ounces. Skeena also announced drilling results for the 23 Zone and 21A West Zone, along with additional results indicating a new discovery that extends the Eskay Creek Rift north and west of the current defined resources for the project.

Rest of World:

• Tasiast (2% royalty) – Kinross reported that the process plant averaged 21,000 tonnes per day during June and July 2022 and that the second phase of the Tasiast 24k project, which aims to reach throughput of 24,000 tonnes per day by mid-2023, is continuing to progress on schedule.
• Séguéla (1.2% royalty) – Fortuna Silver Mines reported that construction activities are progressing on time and on budget with the overall project 83% complete as of the end of October 2022, with the first gold pour expected in mid-2023.

Diversified assets:  Our Diversified assets, primarily comprising our Iron Ore and Energy interests, generated $97.5 million in revenue, up from $88.8 million in Q3 2021. The increase is primarily due to higher realized oil and gas prices relating to our Energy assets.

Iron Ore:

• Vale Royalty (iron ore royalty) – Revenue from the Vale royalty decreased compared to Q3 2021 due to lower iron ore prices and attributable sales. In addition, royalty payments relating to the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 were lower than had been estimated by Franco-Nevada in its H1 2022 accruals with the adjustment reflected in the current quarter.
• LIORC – LIORC declared a cash dividend of C$1.00 per common share, reflecting lower iron ore prices, compared to C$2.10 per common share in Q3 2021. Iron Ore Company of Canada reported significant capital expenditures to upgrade existing infrastructure at the Carol Lake mine.

Energy:

• Marcellus (1% royalty) – Revenue from the Marcellus asset increased compared to Q3 2021. Revenues benefited from significantly higher NGL and natural gas prices, partly offsetting a slight decrease in production.
• Haynesville (various royalty rates) – Revenue from the Haynesville portfolio increased compared to Q3 2021, reflecting current high NGL and natural gas prices.
• SCOOP/STACK (various royalty rates) – Revenue from the SCOOP/STACK increased compared to Q3 2021 due to higher prices and increased production from our interests earned through the Royalty Acquisition Venture with Continental Resources. In October 2022, Continental Resources announced it had entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by an entity owned by the family of Harold G. Hamm, Continental Resources’ founder. The transaction is currently expected to close prior to December 31, 2022 and does not directly impact our Royalty Acquisition Venture with Continental.
• Permian Basin (various royalty rates) – Revenue from the Permian Basin increased compared to Q3 2021. The increase in revenue in the current period reflects higher realized prices.
• Weyburn (NRI, ORR, WI) – Revenue from the Weyburn Unit was significantly higher compared to Q3 2021, reflecting the increase in commodity prices which more than offset higher operating and capital expenditures.

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 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. 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 Q3 2022, the average commodity prices were as follows: $1,728/oz gold (Q3 2021 – $1,789), $19.22/oz silver (Q3 2021 – $24.36), $886/oz platinum (Q3 2021 – $1,024) and $2,074/oz palladium (Q3 2021 – $2,459), $105/t Fe 62% CFR China (Q3 2021 – $191), $91.56/bbl WTI oil (Q3 2021 – $70.52) and $7.91/mcf Henry Hub natural gas (Q3 2021 – $4.32). For YTD 2022 prices, the average commodity prices were as follows: $1,825/oz gold (YTD 2021 – $1,801), $21.94/oz silver (YTD 2021 – $25.78), $958/oz platinum (YTD 2021 – $1,122) and $2,163/oz palladium (YTD 2021 – $2,551), $129/t Fe 62% CFR China (YTD 2021 – $205), $98.09/bbl WTI oil (YTD 2021 – $64.82) and $6.65/mcf Henry Hub natural gas (YTD 2021 – $3.34).
