Initial Contributions from Tocantinzinho
Stream
(in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted)
TORONTO,
Nov. 6,
2024 /CNW/ - "Record gold prices generated higher
revenues, Adjusted EBITDA and earnings in Q3 compared to Q2 2024,"
stated Paul Brink, CEO. "GEO sales
were stable compared to Q2 although lower compared to Q3 2023
without the contribution from Cobre Panama. The quarter benefitted
from contributions from the newly commissioned Tocantinzinho mine
in Brazil, and increased
contributions from royalties from the recently completed Greenstone
mine and the newly acquired Yanacocha royalty. Candelaria reported an increase in copper and
gold production for the quarter. While Candelaria's copper output is on track, Lundin
Mining has revised its 2024 gold production guidance lower to
reflect revised gold grades for the period. In addition, revenue
from our Diversified assets translated into lower GEOs reflecting
record gold prices. We have adjusted our 2024 guidance as a result.
Franco-Nevada continues to benefit from higher gold prices with
limited exposure to cost inflation. The company remains debt-free
with substantial available capital and has a strong pipeline of
potential precious metal streams and royalties."
Financial Summary
- $275.7 million in revenue, -11%
compared to Q3 2023, or +14% when excluding the impact
of Cobre Panama remaining on preservation and safe management
during the quarter
- 110,110 GEOs sold in the quarter, -32% compared to Q3
2023, which partly reflects:
- 22% due to the impact of Cobre Panama, and
- 3% due to record gold prices, reducing the conversion of
non-gold revenue into GEOs
- $213.6 million in operating cash
flow, -9% compared to Q3 2023
- $152.7 million in net income or
$0.79/share, -13% compared to Q3

In Q3 2024, we recognized $275.7
million in revenue, down 10.9% from Q3 2023 (up 13.8%
excluding Cobre Panama). Revenue in the 2023 period included
contributions from Cobre Panama, which remained on preservation and
safe management during the current period. During the quarter, we
benefited from record gold prices, offset by lower contributions
from Candelaria and our Energy
assets. Precious Metal revenue accounted for 76.8% of our revenue
(64.5% gold, 10.3% silver, 2.0% PGM). Revenue was sourced 81.2%
from the Americas (38.3% South
America, 8.1% Central
America & Mexico, 17.0%
U.S. and 17.8% Canada).
Guidance
We benefited from record gold prices in the first nine months of
2024, with revenue exceeding our initial expectations. Our
full-year revenue for 2024 is expected to be between $1,050 million and $1,150
million. However, lower than expected gold production at
Candelaria and slower ramp-ups at
our newly contributing mines have resulted in fewer Precious Metal
GEOs than originally anticipated. In addition, record gold prices
in the current year have impacted the conversion of our non-gold
revenue into GEOs. As a result, we are revising our GEO sales
guidance as follows:

Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG")
Updates
We continue to rank highly with leading ESG
rating agencies. During the quarter, we expanded the Franco-Nevada
Diversity Scholarship program by awarding four new diversity
scholarships to mining engineering students at University of
Toronto, Université du Québec, and École Polytechnique.
Franco-Nevada is now providing scholarships to 13 students. We also
renewed our funding support for the Enseña Perú education
initiative in Peru.
Portfolio Additions
- Acquisition of Royalty on Yanacocha Operations: As
previously announced, on August 13,
2024, we indirectly acquired from Compañía de Minas
Buenaventura ("Buenaventura") and its subsidiary, an existing 1.8%
NSR on all minerals covering Newmont's Yanacocha mine and adjacent
mineral properties, including Conga, located in Peru. Consideration for the Yanacocha royalty
consisted of $210 million paid in
cash on closing, plus a contingent payment of $15 million payable in Franco-Nevada common
shares payable upon the Conga project achieving commercial
production. The acquisition of the Yanacocha royalty was effective
July 1, 2024.
- Acquisition of Gold Stream on Cascabel Copper-Gold
Project: As previously announced, on July 15, 2024, our wholly owned subsidiary,
Franco-Nevada (Barbados)
Corporation ("FNB") acquired a gold stream from SolGold with
reference to production from the Cascabel project located in
Ecuador. FNB partnered with Osisko
Gold Royalties' subsidiary, Osisko Bermuda Limited ("Osisko"), to
participate in the financing package on a 70%/30% basis. FNB will
provide a total of $525 million and
Osisko a total of $225 million for a
total combined funding of $750
million, consisting of $100
million in pre-construction funding and $650 million towards construction once the
project is fully funded and further derisked. During the quarter,
FNB funded $23.4 million upon closing
of the agreement.
- Term Loan with EMX Royalty Corporation: As previously
announced, on August 9, 2024, we
funded a term loan to EMX Royalty Corporation of $35 million. Interest is payable monthly at a
rate equal to the 3-Month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate
plus an applicable margin based on EMX's net debt to adjusted
EBITDA ratio.
- G Mining Ventures Private Placement and Warrants: As
previously announced, on July 12,
2024, we completed a private placement of $25 million with G Mining Ventures at a price of
C$2.279 per share (equivalent to
C$9.116 per share following the
merger between G Mining Ventures and Reunion Gold on July 15, 2024). La Mancha Investments S.à r.l.
completed a concurrent $25 million
private placement resulting in total proceeds to G Mining of
$50 million. The placement was
related to G Mining Ventures' business combination with Reunion
Gold and advancement of the Oko West gold development project in
Guyana. Franco-Nevada also holds
share purchase warrants which allow the Company to acquire
2,875,000 common shares of G Mining Ventures at a price of
C$7.60 for a total cost of
C$21.9 million. Franco-Nevada expects
to exercise such warrants prior to the accelerated expiry date of
December 4, 2024.
- Option to Acquire Royalty with Brazil Potash Corp.:
Subsequent to quarter-end, on November 1,
2024, we acquired an option from Brazil Potash for
$1.0 million to purchase a 4.0% gross
revenue royalty on potash produced from Brazil Potash's Autazes
project in Brazil.
Q3 2024 Portfolio Updates
Precious Metal assets: GEOs sold from
our Precious Metal assets were 84,377, down 32.7% from 125,337 GEOs
in Q3 2023, or down 6.6% from 90,370 GEOs when excluding Cobre
Panama. Lower contributions from Candelaria and Antapaccay were partly offset
by higher GEOs from Subika, and contributions from the recently
constructed Tocantinzinho and Greenstone mines and the newly
acquired Yanacocha royalty.
South
America:
- Candelaria (gold and silver
stream) – GEOs delivered and sold in Q3 2024 were lower than
those sold in Q3 2023. In Q2 2024, mining rates were impacted by
the interface of the open pit and historic underground mining
stopes, requiring more stockpiled ore to be processed which reduced
grades and recoveries. While production in the quarter increased
due to access to higher grade ore and improved runtime in the SAG
mills, Lundin Mining has revised its 2024 annual gold production
guidance for Candelaria down to
between 92,000 and 102,000 gold ounces (from 100,000 to 110,000
gold ounces previously) due to revised gold grades and expected
recoveries for the period. Lundin Mining expects to achieve its
original copper production guidance for Candelaria for 2024.
- Antapaccay (gold and silver stream) – GEOs delivered and
sold were lower in Q3 2024 compared to Q3 2023. Mine scheduling was
adjusted in part due to a geotechnical event which occurred in Q2
2024 and temporarily limited pit access. Deliveries improved in Q3
2024, and we expect deliveries to be between 50,000 to 60,000 GEOs
as originally guided for 2024.
- Antamina (22.5% silver stream) – GEOs delivered and sold
were relatively consistent in Q3 2024 compared to Q3 2023. While
throughput and copper production increased compared to the prior
year period, silver grades were lower, as expected based on the
life of mine plan.
- Tocantinzinho (gold stream) – In September 2024, G Mining Ventures announced its
Tocantinzinho mine achieved commercial production. The mine is
planned to ramp up production through H2 2024, targeting nameplate
throughput by Q1 2025. Tocantinzinho is expected to average annual
gold production of 174,700 ounces over a 10.5-year mine life and
196,200 ounces for the first five full years. Franco-Nevada
received initial deliveries of 1,108 GEOs in Q3 2024.
- Yanacocha (1.8% royalty) – Newmont reported higher
leach pad production in Q3 2024 as a result of injection leaching.
Newmont's production guidance for 2024 for the Yanacocha mine
was approximately 290,000 ounces and the mine produced 260,000 gold
ounces year-to-date as of the end of September 2024. Franco-Nevada recognized 1,156
GEOs in revenue in Q3 2024.
- Cascabel (gold stream and 1% royalty) – SolGold
continues to report progress on the development of the project,
including the receipt in August 2024
of the underground exploration and geotechnical drilling
permits.
- Salares Norte (1-2% royalties) – Gold Fields
reported that following the first gold pour at Salares Norte in
March 2024, the plant was temporarily
shut down and ramp-up suspended due to severe winter weather
conditions. Gold Field's most recent guidance indicated an
estimated gold equivalent production for the mine of between 40,000
and 50,000 ounces for 2024 (220,000 and 240,000 ounces
initially).
Central
America & Mexico:
- Cobre Panama (gold and silver stream) – Production at
Cobre Panama has been halted since November
2023 with mining activities currently on preservation and
safe management. During the quarter, President Mulino made public
statements to the effect that his government intends to address the
Cobre Panama mine in early 2025. An integrated audit of Cobre
Panama is also expected to be conducted with international experts
to establish a factual basis to aid in decision making for the
future of the mine. As disclosed in Q2, 2024, Franco-Nevada filed a
request for arbitration to the International Centre for Settlement
of Investment Disputes on June 27,
2024. While we continue to pursue these legal remedies, we
strongly prefer and hope for a resolution with the State of Panama providing the best outcome for
the Panamanian people and all parties involved.
- Guadalupe-Palmarejo (50% gold stream) – GEOs sold from
Guadalupe-Palmarejo in Q3 2024 decreased relative to Q3 2023 due to
lower grades.
U.S.:
- Stillwater (5% royalty)
– GEOs from our Stillwater royalty
decreased in Q3 2024 compared to Q3 2023. Sibanye-Stillwater
announced in September 2024 a further
restructuring of its US PGM operations as a result of current PGM
prices. Sibanye-Stillwater is now guiding to production of 265,000
PGM ounces starting in 2025. Production guidance for 2024 remains
unchanged and is expected to be between 440,000 to 460,000 PGM
ounces.
- Goldstrike (2-4% royalties & 2.4-6% NPI) – GEOs from
our Goldstrike royalties decreased in Q3 2024 compared to Q3 2023
due to less open pit stockpile tons from royalty ground being
processed through the Goldstrike processing facilities, resulting
in lower payments for our royalties.
- South Arturo (4-9% royalty) – GEOs from South
Arturo increased in Q3 2024 compared to Q3 2023 as royalty payments
from the restart of open pit mining are beginning to be received.
South Arturo is part of Nevada Gold
Mines' Carlin
operations.
Canada:
- Detour Lake (2% royalty) – In June 2024, Agnico Eagle released the results of a
technical study reflecting the potential for a concurrent
underground operation at Detour Lake that would increase annual
production to approximately one million ounces for 14 years
starting in 2030. Agnico Eagle expects to commence a two-kilometre
exploration ramp in Q1 2025, which will be used collect a bulk
sample and to facilitate infill and expansion drilling of the
current underground mineral resource.
- Macassa (Kirkland Lake)
(1.5-5.5% royalty & 20% NPI) – GEOs from Macassa were
higher in Q3 2024 than in Q3 2023, reflecting productivity gains
since the completion of #4 Shaft and the new ventilation
infrastructure in 2023.Agnico Eagle is continuing to focus on asset
optimization and is working on further improving mill
throughput.
- Magino (3% royalty) and Island Gold (0.62%
royalty) – Alamos
completed the acquisition of the Magino mine in July 2024. The transaction is expected to result
in substantial synergies through shared infrastructure between the
adjacent Magino and Island Gold mines. Alamos has noted potential longer-term upside
through a single optimized milling complex at Magino with an
expansion to between 15,000 and 20,000 tonnes per day.
- Greenstone (3% royalty) – The mine achieved its
inaugural gold pour in May 2024.
While the operation has experienced some commissioning issues, it
continues to progress toward design capacity, ramping up both
mining rates and plant throughput. Equinox Gold has revised its
2024 production estimate to between 110,000 and 130,000 gold ounces
(from 175,000 to 205,000 gold ounces previously).
- Canadian Malartic (1.5% royalty) – Agnico Eagle
reported that ramp development, shaft sinking activities and
surface construction progressed on schedule in Q3 2024. Exploration
drilling continued to return positive results in the eastern and
upper extensions of the East Gouldie deposit, demonstrating the
potential to add significant mineral resources along extensions of
the main East Gouldie deposit.
- Valentine Gold (3% royalty) – Calibre Mining
reported that construction at the project was 81% complete as of
the end of September 2024 and remains
on track for completion of construction in Q2 2025. Production is
expected to average 195,000 gold ounces per year over an initial
mine life of 12 years.
Rest of World:
- MWS (25% stream) – GEOs delivered and sold from our MWS
stream were higher than in Q3 2023 reflecting an increase in tonnes
processed and higher recoveries. Subsequent to quarter-end,
following the delivery of 1,587 gold ounces in Q4 2024, our MWS
stream reached its cumulative cap of 312,500 gold ounces.
- Subika (Ahafo) (2% royalty) – GEOs from our Subika
(Ahafo) royalty were higher than in Q3 2023. Gold production at the
mine increased 60% due to higher mill throughput and higher ore
grade milled.
Diversified assets: Our Diversified
assets, primarily comprising our Iron Ore and Energy interests,
generated $61.2 million in revenue,
down 10.9% from $68.7 million in Q3
2023. When converted to GEOs, our Diversified assets
contributed 25,733 GEOs, down 27.5% from 35,511 GEOs in Q3 2023, of
which 21.9% was due to changes in gold prices used in the
conversion of non-gold revenue into GEOs.
Iron Ore:
- Vale Royalty (iron ore royalty) – Revenue from our
Vale royalty increased slightly compared to Q3 2023. Production
from the Northern System benefited from strong production at S11D,
partly offset by lower estimated iron ore prices and higher
shipping cost deductions. Higher production from the Southeastern
System was driven by enhanced performance at the Itabira plant and
higher output at Brucutu. We expect royalty payments from the
Southeastern System to commence approximately mid-2025.
- LIORC – LIORC declared a cash dividend of C$0.70 per common share in the current period,
compared to C$0.95 in Q3 2023.
Production from Iron Ore Company of Canada was 11% lower than Q3 2023 due to an
11-day site-wide shutdown following forest fires in mid-July 2024.
- Caserones (0.517% effective NSR) – GEOs from our
interest in Caserones were lower in Q3 2024 than in Q3 2023 in part
due to our lower effective NSR interest in the current period. In
January 2024, EMX exercised an option
to acquire 0.0531% of our NSR, such that we now own a 0.517%
effective NSR, compared to 0.5701% in Q3 2023.
Energy:
- U.S. (various royalty rates) – Revenue from our
U.S. Energy interests was relatively consistent with Q3 2023. We
benefited from an increase in production due to new wells at our
Permian interests and new contributions from our new Haynesville
interests, which mostly offset the impact of lower realized prices
and reduced drilling activity.
- Canada (various royalty rates) – Revenue from
our Canadian Energy interests was lower than in Q3 2023. Higher
production at Weyburn was more
than offset by lower realized prices.
Dividend Declaration
Franco-Nevada is pleased to announce that its
Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of
US$0.36 per share. The dividend will
be paid on December 19, 2024, to
shareholders of record on December 5,
2024 (the "Record Date"). The dividend has been declared in
U.S. dollars and the Canadian dollar equivalent will be determined
based on the daily average rate posted by the Bank of Canada on the Record Date. Under Canadian tax
legislation, Canadian resident individuals who receive "eligible
dividends" are entitled to an enhanced gross-up and dividend tax
credit on such dividends.
The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the
"DRIP") which allows shareholders of Franco-Nevada to reinvest
dividends to purchase additional common shares at the Average
Market Price, as defined in the DRIP, subject to a discount from
the Average Market Price in the case of treasury acquisitions. The
Company will issue additional common shares through treasury at a
1% discount to the Average Market Price. The Company may, from time
to time, in its discretion, change or eliminate the discount
applicable to treasury acquisitions or direct that such common
shares be purchased in market acquisitions at the prevailing market
price, any of which would be publicly announced. Participation in
the DRIP is optional. The DRIP and enrollment forms are available
on the Company's website at www.franco-nevada.com. Canadian and
U.S. registered shareholders may also enroll in the DRIP online
through the plan agent's self-service web portal at
www.investorcentre.com/franco-nevada. Canadian and U.S. beneficial
shareholders should contact their financial intermediary to arrange
enrollment. Non-Canadian and non-U.S. shareholders may potentially
participate in the DRIP, subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions. Non-Canadian and non-U.S. shareholders should contact
the Company to determine whether they satisfy the necessary
conditions to participate in the DRIP.
This press release is not an offer to sell or a
solicitation of an offer for securities. A registration statement
relating to the DRIP has been filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission and may be obtained under the Company's profile
on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's website at
www.sec.gov.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains "forward-looking
information" and "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
applicable Canadian securities laws and the United States Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, respectively, which may
include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to future
events or future performance, management's expectations regarding
Franco-Nevada's growth, results of operations, estimated future
revenues, performance guidance, carrying value of assets, future
dividends and requirements for additional capital, mineral
resources and mineral reserves estimates, production estimates,
production costs and revenue, future demand for and prices of
commodities, expected mining sequences, business prospects and
opportunities, the performance and plans of third party operators,
audits being conducted by the Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA"), the
expected exposure for current and future tax assessments and
available remedies, and statements with respect to the future
status and any potential restart of the Cobre Panama mine and
related arbitration proceedings. In addition, statements relating
to mineral resources and mineral reserves, GEOs or mine lives are
forward-looking statements, as they involve implied assessment,
based on certain estimates and assumptions, and no assurance can be
given that the estimates and assumptions are accurate and that such
mineral resources and mineral reserves, GEOs or mine lives will be
realized. Such forward-looking statements reflect management's
current beliefs and are based on information currently available to
management. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can
be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects", "is
expected", "budgets", "potential for", "scheduled", "estimates",
"forecasts", "predicts", "projects", "intends", "targets", "aims",
"anticipates" or "believes" or variations (including negative
variations) of such words and phrases or may be identified by
statements to the effect that certain actions "may", "could",
"should", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be
achieved. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual
results, performance or achievements of Franco-Nevada to be
materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements. A number of factors could cause actual events or
results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement,
including, without limitation: fluctuations in the prices of the
primary commodities that drive royalty and stream revenue (gold,
platinum group metals, copper, nickel, uranium, silver, iron-ore
and oil and gas); fluctuations in the value of the Canadian and
Australian dollar, Mexican peso and any other currency in which
revenue is generated, relative to the U.S. dollar; changes in
national and local government legislation, including permitting and
licensing regimes and taxation policies and the enforcement
thereof; the adoption of a global minimum tax on corporations;
regulatory, political or economic developments in any of the
countries where properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty,
stream or other interest are located or through which they are
held; risks related to the operators of the properties in which
Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest, including
changes in the ownership and control of such operators;
relinquishment or sale of mineral properties; influence of
macroeconomic developments; business opportunities that become
available to, or are pursued by Franco-Nevada; reduced access to
debt and equity capital; litigation; title, permit or license
disputes related to interests on any of the properties in which
Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest; whether or
not the Company is determined to have "passive foreign investment
company" ("PFIC") status as defined in Section 1297 of the United
States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; potential changes
in Canadian tax treatment of offshore streams; excessive cost
escalation as well as development, permitting, infrastructure,
operating or technical difficulties on any of the properties in
which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest;
access to sufficient pipeline capacity; actual mineral content may
differ from the mineral resources and mineral reserves contained in
technical reports; rate and timing of production differences from
resource estimates, other technical reports and mine plans; risks
and hazards associated with the business of development and mining
on any of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty,
stream or other interest, including, but not limited to unusual or
unexpected geological and metallurgical conditions, slope failures
or cave-ins, sinkholes, flooding and other natural disasters,
terrorism, civil unrest or an outbreak of contagious disease; the
impact of future pandemics; and the integration of acquired assets.
The forward-looking statements contained herein are based upon
assumptions management believes to be reasonable, including,
without limitation: the ongoing operation of the properties in
which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest by
the owners or operators of such properties in a manner consistent
with past practice; the accuracy of public statements and
disclosures made by the owners or operators of such underlying
properties; no material adverse change in the market price of the
commodities that underlie the asset portfolio; the Company's
ongoing income and assets relating to determination of its PFIC
status; no material changes to existing tax treatment; the expected
application of tax laws and regulations by taxation authorities;
the expected assessment and outcome of any audit by any taxation
authority; no adverse development in respect of any significant
property in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other
interest; the accuracy of publicly disclosed expectations for the
development of underlying properties that are not yet in
production; integration of acquired assets; and the absence of any
other factors that could cause actions, events or results to differ
from those anticipated, estimated or intended. However, there can
be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be
accurate, as actual results and future events could differ
materially from those anticipated in such statements. Investors are
cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of
future performance. In addition, there can be no assurance as to
(i) the outcome of the ongoing audit by the CRA or the Company's
exposure as a result thereof, or (ii) the future status and any
potential restart of the Cobre Panama mine or the outcome of any
related arbitration proceedings. Franco-Nevada cannot assure
investors that actual results will be consistent with these
forward-looking statements. Accordingly, investors should not place
undue reliance on forward-looking statements due to the inherent
uncertainty therein.
For additional information with respect to
risks, uncertainties and assumptions, please refer to
Franco-Nevada's most recent Annual Information Form as well as
Franco-Nevada's most recent Management's Discussion and Analysis
filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities on
www.sedarplus.com and Franco-Nevada's most recent Annual Report
filed on Form 40-F filed with the SEC on www.sec.gov. The
forward-looking statements herein are made as of the date hereof
only and Franco-Nevada does not assume any obligation to update or
revise them to reflect new information, estimates or opinions,
future events or results or otherwise, except as required by
applicable law.
ENDNOTES:
- GEOs: Gold equivalent ounces ("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 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
Q3 2024, the average commodity prices were as follows: $2,477/oz gold (Q3 2023 - $1,929), $29.42/oz
silver (Q3 2023 - $23.57),
$963/oz platinum (Q3 2023 -
$931) and $970/oz palladium (Q3 2023 - $1,251), $100/t Fe
62% CFR China (Q3 2023 - $113),
$75.09/bbl WTI oil (Q3 2023 -
$82.26) and $2.24/mcf Henry Hub natural gas (Q3 2023 -
$2.66). For YTD 2024 prices, the
average commodity prices were as follows: $2,296/oz gold (YTD 2023 - $1,932), $27.21/oz
silver (YTD 2023 - $23.44),
$951/oz platinum (YTD 2023 -
$985) and $973/oz palladium (YTD 2023 - $1,422), $112/t Fe
62% CFR China (YTD 2023 - $116),
$77.54/bbl WTI oil (YTD 2023 -
$77.39) and $2.22/mcf Henry Hub natural gas (YTD 2023 -
$2.58).
- 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

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 following tables. Further information
relating to these non-GAAP financial measures is incorporated by

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; unusual non-recurring
items; and the impact of income taxes on these items.
- 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, foreign exchange
