2021 Guidance Increased

(in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted)

TORONTO, Aug. 11, 2021 /CNW/ - "Franco-Nevada is on track to achieve record results in 2021, thanks to both organic growth and the acquisitions completed in the first half of the year. The diversified portfolio performed well in the second quarter and, with the first Vale Royalty Debenture contribution, delivered record GEOs, revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income", stated Paul Brink, President & CEO. "Franco-Nevada generated Adjusted EBITDA of $290.0 million in the quarter, has no debt and has $197.7 million in cash and cash equivalents. Our revenue-based business model is particularly attractive during periods of industry cost inflation, as reflected in earnings, Adjusted EBITDA and Margins that are at or close to record highs. We have raised the bottom end of our GEOs sold guidance and, with the recovery in energy prices, have materially increased our Energy revenue guidance for the year."

For Q2/2021, revenue was sourced 86.4% from Mining assets (56.2% gold, 13.0% silver, 6.3% PGM and 10.9% other mining assets). Geographically, revenue was sourced 91.7% from the Americas (33.4% South America, 25.9% Central America & Mexico, 19.1% U.S. and 13.3% Canada).

Portfolio Additions

Vale Royalty Debentures: As previously announced, on April 16, 2021, the Company acquired 57 million of Vale S.A.'s ("Vale") outstanding participating debentures ("Royalty Debentures") for $538 million. Royalty payments are made on a semi-annual basis on March 31st and September 30th of each year reflecting sales in the preceding half calendar year period. Franco-Nevada has estimated its attributable royalty payment for the six-month period from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021 to be $28.0 million. This amount represents our accrual estimate for two quarters' worth of royalty payments. The first payment for the H1/2021 period will be payable to the Company on September 30, 2021.

Increased 2021 Guidance

Based on the strong results year-to-date, Franco-Nevada now anticipates GEO sales for 2021 to be near the higher end of the previously announced guidance and has revised the GEOs sold guidance range to 590,000 to 615,000 GEOs. Franco-Nevada is also pleased to raise its Energy revenue guidance to reflect higher commodity prices. Energy revenue guidance is now expected to range from $155 to $170 million, an increase from the prior range of $115 to $135 million. Commodity prices used in our revised guidance are the following: $1,800/oz Au, $25.00/oz Ag, $1,000/oz Pt, $2,700/oz Pd, $150/t Fe 65% CFR China, $60/barrel WTI and $2.75/mcf Henry Hub.

Please see our annual MD&A for more details on our guidance and see "Forward-Looking Statements" below.

Q2/2021 Portfolio Updates

Gold Equivalent Ounces Sold: GEOs sold for the quarter were 166,856, an increase of 59.9% from the 104,330 sold in Q2/2020. Higher contributions from our largest streams as well as the additions of the Vale Royalty Debentures and Condestable stream were slightly offset by lower production from Hemlo. Further, the impact of COVID-19 on our assets continued to be minimal this quarter, in comparison to Q2/2020, where a number of our assets were impacted by suspensions of production.  

South America:

  • Antamina (22.5% silver stream) – GEOs delivered and sold were significantly higher in Q2/2021 than in Q2/2020, which was impacted by a temporary suspension of production. In addition, higher silver prices in the current period have resulted in a more favourable GEO conversion ratio. We expect Antamina silver deliveries to remain strong for the remainder of 2021.
  • Antapaccay (gold and silver stream) – GEOs delivered and sold greatly increased in Q2/2021. Concentrate shipments in the prior year period were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Candelaria (gold and silver stream) – GEOs delivered and sold increased in Q2/2021 relative to Q2/2020. Production at Candeleria was higher this quarter than in the same quarter in the previous year due to higher mill throughput. Lundin reported that due to changes in mine sequencing, it reduced 2021 copper and gold production guidance. Gold production guidance is now 85,000-90,000 ounces on a 100% basis, down from 95,000-100,000 ounces. Lundin is also reviewing the impacts of changes on the operation's life of mine plan. Preliminary plans anticipate production forecasts to be 10-15% lower for 2022 and 2023.
  • Condestable (gold and silver stream) – Franco-Nevada received its second quarter of deliveries from the recently acquired stream, with the asset contributing an incremental 3,246 GEOs in Q2/2021.
  • Vale Royalty Debentures (iron ore royalty) – Franco-Nevada accrued an estimated $28.0 million, or 15,493 GEOs, for its attributable royalty payment for the six-month period from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021. Due to the timing of the acquisition, this initial accrual represents two quarters' worth of royalties. Payment is due on September 30, 2021. Future accruals will be on a quarter-by-quarter basis.

Central America & Mexico:

  • Cobre Panama (gold and silver stream) – GEOs delivered and sold more than doubled relative to one year earlier, which was impacted by a suspension of operations due to COVID-19. Cobre Panama's production in Q2/2021 was a near record of 81.7 kt of copper produced due to increased mill availability, throughput rates and ore grade. Mining is expected to transition to softer ore later in the year and First Quantum is targeting 85 Mtpa of throughput for 2021. First Quantum increased copper production guidance for Cobre Panama to 310,000-335,000 tonnes from 300,000-330,000 tonnes. 
  • Guadalupe-Palmarejo (50% gold stream) – GEOs sold from Guadalupe-Palmarejo were significantly higher than in the same quarter in 2020. Production in the prior year period reflected a temporary suspension at the operation to comply with COVID-19 government-mandated measures.

U.S.:

  • Stillwater (5% royalty) – GEOs from Stillwater increased from one year earlier, as higher platinum and palladium prices more than offset lower PGM production during the quarter. For our revised 2021 guidance, we adjusted our price assumptions from $2,200/oz Pd to $2,700/oz Pd, and from $1,100/oz Pt to $1,000/oz Pt.
  • Goldstrike (2-6% royalties) – Production was impacted by planned maintenance shutdowns as well a mechanical failure at the Goldstrike roaster. The roaster is currently working at a reduced rate and work to repair the mill is expected to be completed in Q3/2021. The impact from the reduced production was offset by $7 million in royalties related to prior periods.

Canada:

  • Sudbury (50% gold and PGM stream) – In February 2021, KGHM approved an updated life of mine plan which extends mining operations at the McCreedy West mine for another 5 years. To support this extension of operations,  Franco-Nevada agreed to increase its purchase price per GEO effective June 1, 2021, from $800 per ounce to 60% of the prevailing monthly average gold spot price during periods when monthly average gold prices exceed $1,333/oz. When the gold spot price is greater than $2,000/oz, the purchase price is $1,200/oz.
  • Detour Lake (2% royalty)Kirkland Lake Gold reported continued exploration success, with significant potential for mineral resource growth between the existing Main Pit and planned West Pit, and progress on key growth projects during Q2/2021. A new technical report and life of mine plan is targeted for release during H1/2022.
  • Hemlo (3% royalty & 50% NPI) – Revenue from Hemlo was significantly lower than in Q2/2020 reflecting a decrease in production from grounds where Franco-Nevada has royalty interests and higher costs.
  • Kirkland Lake (1.5-5.5% royalty & 20% NPI)Kirkland Lake Gold reported that the Macassa #4 Shaft is on track for completion in late 2022. Once completed, production at Macassa is targeted to grow to over 400,000 ounces of gold per year, compared to targeted production of 220,000-255,000 ounces of gold for 2021.
  • LIORC (0.7% royalty) – LIORC declared a cash dividend of C$1.75 per common share, compared to C$0.45 per common share in the prior year quarter. Including this dividend, Franco-Nevada has recouped its initial investment.
  • Canadian Malartic (1.5% royalty) – Agnico Eagle and Yamana reported record quarterly production due to higher grade and recoveries from the ore found deeper in the Malartic pit. Throughout 2021, the mine will continue its 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. Surface drilling is ongoing to infill and expand the East Gouldie zone, where Franco-Nevada's royalty claims cover a portion of the deposit.
  • Eskay Creek (1% royalty) – In July 2021, Skeena Resources announced a positive pre-feasibility study, outlining average annual production of 249,000 ounces of gold and 7.2 million ounces of silver over a 10-year mine life. Skeena anticipates further increases to the annual production profile as part of a feasibility study expected in Q1/2022.
  • Ring of Fire (1-3% royalties) – In July 2021, BHP and Noront announced a board-supported take-over bid by BHP to acquire all of Noront's issued and outstanding common shares. The transaction represents a premium offer relative to the indicative offer proposed by Wyloo in May 2021.
  • Red Lake (Bateman) (2% royalty) – In May 2021, Evolution Mining completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Battle North. The acquisition is expected to create synergies between the Bateman project and Evolution's existing operations in the region.
  • Valentine Lake (2% royalty) – In July 2021, Marathon Gold announced it had entered into an indicative non-binding term sheet for a project financing facility of $185 million to fund the construction of the project. Marathon also reported positive exploration results from ongoing in-fill drilling of the Berry Deposit.

Rest of World:

  • Tasiast (2% royalty) – In June 2021, Kinross announced a temporary suspension of mill operations due to a fire at its Tasiast mine. Kinross expects to re-start the mill in Q4/2021. The Tasiast 24k project remains on schedule to be completed in mid-2023.
  • Aği Daği (2% royalty) – In April 2021, Alamos announced its filing of an investment treaty claim against the Republic of Turkey for failing to grant routine renewals of key licenses and permits for Alamos' Kirazli gold mine. Though Franco-Nevada does not have a royalty on the Kirazli mine, cessation of development activities at Kirazli are expected to negatively impact the advancement of the Aği Daği project. Franco-Nevada wrote-off the entire carrying value of $7.5 million associated with this royalty in Q2/2021.

Energy:  Revenue from the Energy assets increased to $47.3 million in Q2/2021 compared to $14.6 million in Q2/2020. Revenues were positively impacted by higher realized prices across the portfolio compared to Q2/2020 which were historically low. Revenue in Q2/2021 also reflects the addition of royalty interests in the Haynesville shale play at the end of 2020.

U.S.:

  • Haynesville (various royalty rates) – The portfolio of assets contributed $7.2 million of incremental revenue in Q2/2021, of which $1.2 million was attributable to prior periods.
  • SCOOP/STACK (various royalty rates) – Royalties from SCOOP/STACK more than doubled compared to Q2/2020 with higher realized pricing more than offsetting the impact of reduced drilling by the operators on royalty lands.
  • Permian Basin (various royalty rates) – Royalties from the Permian increased significantly due to higher realized prices offsetting a production decrease from operators in the basin.
  • Marcellus (1% royalty) – Revenue from the Marcellus asset, operated by Range Resources, generated $7.4 million in Q2/2021 versus $4.9 million in Q2/2020, where higher realized NGL and natural gas prices offset slightly lower production volumes.

Canada:

  • Weyburn (NRI, ORR, WI) – Revenue from the Weyburn Unit was $10.6 million in Q2/2021 compared to a loss of $0.6 million in Q2/2020. Revenue in Q2/2020 was negative due to the operating and capital costs in Q2/2020 exceeding sales from the NRI interest due to the low price environment in 2020.

NON-IFRS MEASURES:  Cash Costs, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. For a reconciliation of these measures to various IFRS measures, please see below or the Company's current MD&A disclosure found on the Company's website, on SEDAR and on EDGAR. Comparative information has been recalculated to conform to current presentation.

  1. GEOs include Franco-Nevada's attributable share of production from our Mining assets, after applicable recovery and payability factors, and do not include Energy assets. 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 and other mining 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 mining commodity was produced or sold. For Q2/2021, the average commodity prices were as follows: $1,816/oz gold (Q2/2020 - $1,711), $26.69/oz silver (Q2/2020 - $16.38), $1,180/oz platinum (Q2/2020 - $790) and $2,788/oz palladium (Q2/2020 - $1,965), $232/t Fe 65% CFR China (Q2/2020 - $109).  For H1/2021 prices, the average commodity prices were as follows: $1,805/oz gold (Q2/2020 - $1,645), $26.47/oz silver (Q2/2020 - $16.65), $1,170/oz platinum (Q2/2020 - $848) and $2,593/oz palladium (Q2/2020 - $2,128), and $212/t Fe 65% CFR China (H1/2020 - $106). 
  2. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share are non-IFRS financial measures, which exclude the following from net income and earnings per share ("EPS"): impairment charges related to royalty, stream and working interests and investments; gains/losses on the sale of royalty, stream and working interests and investments; foreign exchange gains/losses and other income/expenses; unusual non-recurring items; and the impact of income taxes on these items.
  3. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share are non-IFRS financial measures, which exclude the following from net income and EPS: income tax expense/recovery; finance expenses and finance income; depletion and depreciation; non-cash costs of sales; impairment charges related to royalty, stream and working interests and investments; gains/losses on the sale of royalty, stream and working interests and investments; foreign exchange gains/losses and other income/expenses; and unusual non-recurring items.
  4. Margin is a non-IFRS financial measure which is defined by the Company as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.
