Franco-Nevada Reports Strong Q2 Results

(in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted)

Cobre Panama first deliveries received subsequent to quarter end

TORONTO, Aug. 7, 2019 /CNW/ - "Franco-Nevada had a strong second quarter and a record first half of the year in terms of revenue, EBITDA and net income" stated David Harquail, CEO.  "Subsequent to quarter end, we started to receive our first gold and silver stream ounces from Cobre Panama.  The project is ramping up well and we have increased our expectations from Cobre Panama this year.  As a result, we expect GEOs delivered to be towards the upper end of our previously announced guidance.  In early July, we added to our energy interests with the purchase of a 1% royalty in the Marcellus.  This is immediately accretive to our energy revenues and our energy revenue guidance for the year has also been increased.  Franco-Nevada expects to have a strong second half with a growing revenue outlook over the next five years."

The portfolio is actively managed to maintain a focus on precious metals (gold, silver and PGM) with a target of no more than 20% from energy. Geographically, revenue was sourced 80.1% from the Americas (35.7% Latin America, 21.1% U.S. and 23.3% Canada).

Corporate Updates

• Marcellus: On July 22, 2019, Franco-Nevada acquired from Range Resources Corporation a 1% overriding royalty interest on approximately 350,000 acres in the Marcellus for a gross purchase price of $300 million. The royalty applies to existing production and future development from the Marcellus formation as well as future potential development from the Utica and Upper Devonian formations.
  
  Since the effective date of March 1, 2019 and the closing date, the royalty has generated approximately $9 million in revenue, with roughly half of the revenue generated from natural gas liquids and condensate. At current commodity prices, revenue for 2020 is expected to be approximately $25 million growing to approximately $30 million per annum in five years.
  
  
• 2019 Guidance: Based on the strong results year to date and the increase in expected deliveries from Cobre Panama, Franco-Nevada now expects 2019 GEO deliveries to be at the higher end of the previously announced guidance range of 465,000 to 500,000 GEOs. To reflect the addition of the Marcellus royalty and continued strong performance of the energy assets, Franco-Nevada now expects to generate $100 to $115 million in revenue from the energy portfolio for 2019 versus $70 to $85 million previously. This guidance assumes a WTI oil price of $55 per barrel and a Henry Hub natural gas price of $2.40 per mcf for the remainder of 2019.
  
  
• At-the-Market Equity Program: Franco-Nevada has established an at-the-market program (the "ATM Program") that allows the Corporation to issue up to $200 million worth of common shares from treasury to the public from time to time at the prevailing market price through the Toronto Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange or any other marketplace on which the common shares are listed, quoted or otherwise trade. The volume and timing of distributions under the ATM Program, if any, will be determined at the Corporation's sole discretion, subject to applicable regulatory limitations. The ATM Program will be effective until July 18, 2020, unless terminated prior to such date by the Corporation.

Q2/2019 Portfolio Updates

• Gold Equivalent Ounces:
• GEOs sold for the quarter were 107,774, essentially unchanged from the 107,333 sold in Q2/2018. Candelaria, Stillwater, Goldstrike, Brucejack, Tasiast and Subika had higher deliveries year-over-year which were largely offset by lower contributions from Guadalupe-Palmarejo, Antapaccay, Antamina, FireCreek/Midas and Bald Mountain.

Latin America:

• Cobre Panama (gold and silver stream) – Franco-Nevada received its first gold and silver stream ounces in early July, subsequent to quarter end. Deliveries are expected to ramp-up and be the major growth driver for the second half of the year. First Quantum reiterated its guidance of 140,000 – 175,000 tonnes of copper for 2019.
• Candelaria (gold and silver stream) – GEOs earned from Candelaria in the quarter were higher year-over-year. Production is expected to be higher in the second half as ore is sourced directly from the open pit and less from the low grade stockpile as well as the continued development of the Candelaria Underground South Sector.
• Guadalupe-Palmarejo (50% gold stream) – GEOs sold in Q2/2019 were down year-over-year as less mining occurred on Franco-Nevada stream lands. Development at the La Nación deposit, located between the Independencia and Guadalupe mines and predominantly on stream lands, remains on schedule with production expected in the second half of 2019.
• Antapaccay (gold and silver stream) – GEOs from Antapaccay were lower year-over-year as expected from the life of mine plan. Timing of deliveries also negatively impacted sales for the quarter.
• Antamina (22.5% silver stream) – GEOs earned from Antamina were lower year-over-year as expected from the life of mine plan.
• Cerro Moro (2% royalty) – Cerro Moro deliveries increased in Q2/2019 as only a partial quarter's deliveries were received in Q2/2018. Cerro Moro continues to pursue an aggressive drill program in 2019 to delineate near-mine targets in order to extend the mine life.

U.S.:

• Stillwater (5% royalty) – Stillwater benefitted from a strong quarter as volumes increased due to the continued ramp-up of the Blitz project as well as higher palladium prices. The Blitz project is anticipated to increase total PGM production from Stillwater to approximately 850,000 ounces per year by late 2021 or early 2022.
• Bald Mountain (0.875-5% royalty) – Bald Mountain revenue was down significantly year-over-year as mining transitioned away from royalty ground and production decreased as expected from an exceptionally strong 2018.
• Goldstrike (2-4% royalty & 2.4-6% NPI); Gold Quarry (7.29% royalty) – Barrick and Newmont's joint venture in Nevada may reprioritize ore sources to various processing plants. Synergies could positively impact the NPI at Goldstrike.
• Fire Creek/Midas (2.5% royalty); Hollister (3-5% royalty) – The fixed delivery requirement for Fire Creek/Midas was met in 2018. Hecla announced in June 2019 an updated plan for its Nevada operations which includes mining the currently developed portion of Fire Creek, mining at Midas for the balance of the year and shutting down the Hollister mine. Exploration will continue on the Hatter Graben deposit at Hollister but at a reduced rate.
• Rosemont (1.5% royalty) – Hudbay announced in March 2019 the receipt of the final key federal permit allowing the company to advance Rosemont towards construction. In August 2019, the U.S. District Court of Arizona overturned the issuance of the Final Record of Decision from 2017 and as a result, Hudbay may not proceed with construction at this time. Hudbay stated that it intends to appeal the decision. Franco-Nevada's royalty is on all metals produced.
• South Arturo (4-9% royalty) – Joint venture operators Barrick and Premier Gold continue to advance the construction of the El Nino underground and Phase 1 open pit. A small amount of production is expected in 2019 with more meaningful production expected in 2020.

Canada:

• Brucejack (1.2% royalty) – The mine passed the 503,386 gold ounce production threshold in December 2018 which triggered the start of royalty payments to Franco-Nevada. Pretium provided an updated mine plan for the Brucejack operation in April 2019. The updated plan assumes average annual production of over 525,000 ounces of gold over the first 10 years and over 440,000 ounces of gold per year over the 14-year mine life.
• Sudbury (50% precious metals stream) – KGHM announced that it has resumed mining the PM zone at the McCreedy mine which contains higher grade precious metal ore. As part of the revised arrangements with KGHM, Franco-Nevada agreed to increase its ongoing cost to $800 per GEO delivered from McCreedy until December 31, 2021. The increase in deliveries from McCreedy will be partially offset going forward as the Levack mine has been placed on care and maintenance.
• Musselwhite (5% NPI) – An underground fire at the end of March 2019 caused the operation to be suspended. Newmont Goldcorp, the new operator, expects the mine to resume full operations in mid-2020. The focus for the remainder of the year will be on replacing the conveyor system and to progress development work.
• Canadian Malartic (1.5% royalty) – Exploration programs continue to evaluate several deposits to the east of the Canadian Malartic open pit which have the potential to provide new sources of ore for the Canadian Malartic mill. These are mostly underground zones, some of which are partially covered by our royalty.
• Kirkland Lake (1.5-5.5% royalty & 20% NPI) – Kirkland Lake continues to advance the construction of the #4 Shaft at the Macassa mine. Kirkland Lake has a goal of increasing production at Macassa to over 400,000 ounces per year over the next 5 to 7 years. Underground drilling continues to expand the South Mine Complex.
• Golden Highway (0.25–10% royalty) – Franco-Nevada and Kirkland Lake amended the royalty agreement on the Holloway property to a fixed 3% NSR versus the previous sliding scale royalty.

Rest of World:

• Subika (2% royalty) – Newmont declared commercial production at the Subika Underground in Q4/2018. The second major project, the Ahafo Mill expansion, is expected to have first production in Q3/2019 and achieve commercial production by Q4/2019, a slight delay from previous estimates.
• Tasiast (2% royalty) – The Phase One (12,000 tpd) expansion is complete. Phase Two activities are paused as Kinross continues to analyze expansion options and engage in discussions with the Government of Mauritania. 
• Duketon (2% royalty) – Regis Resources commenced underground development below the current Rosemont open pit and delineated a maiden mineral reserve for this additional deposit of 123,000 ounces.
• Ity (1–1.5% royalty) – Franco-Nevada has a 1.5% royalty on the project until 35 tonnes of gold are produced. With Endeavour's increased production forecast for 2019, this threshold may be met by the end of the year.

• Energy:
• Revenue from the energy assets increased to $27.6 million in Q2/2019 compared to $22.7 million in Q2/2018, reflecting contributions from new investments in the SCOOP/STACK by the Royalty Acquisition Venture with Continental but offset by lower commodity prices versus the same period a year ago.

U.S.:

• SCOOP/STACK (Continental) (Royalty Acquisition Venture) –The Royalty Acquisition Venture is having good success acquiring additional royalties. In Q2/2019, Franco-Nevada contributed $35.1 million to the Royalty Acquisition Venture and its remaining commitment over the next three years is $171.7 million. Revenue in Q2/2019 totalled $5.0 million.
• SCOOP/STACK (Other) (various royalty rates) – These assets generated $1.9 million in revenue in Q2/2019 versus $3.3 million in Q2/2018. Payment for a number of new wells was received after quarter-end which will contribute to revenue in Q3/2019.
• Permian Basin (various royalty rates) – Franco-Nevada's interests in the Permian Basin earned revenue of $4.9 million in Q2/2019 versus $6.2 million in Q2/2018, reflecting a natural decline in some high-royalty interest wells that had come online in the same period last year as well as a decrease in realized gas prices as a result of transportation bottlenecks out of the basin.

Canada:

• Weyburn (NRI, ORR, WI) – Weyburn contributed $10.5 million in revenue in Q2/2019 versus $10.2 million in Q2/2018. Revenues and production in the quarter were generally in-line with the same period in 2018.
• Orion (4% GORR) – Orion generated $3.2 million in revenue in Q2/2019 versus $0.9 million in Q2/2018. Revenues were significantly higher as a result of increased production volumes from the asset and a recovery in price differentials for heavy oil resulting from government-mandated volume curtailments.

Dividend Declaration

Franco-Nevada is pleased to announce that its board of directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share.  The dividend will be paid on September 26, 2019 to shareholders of record on September 12, 2019 (the "Record Date").  The Canadian dollar equivalent is to 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.

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 our gold, silver, platinum, palladium and other mining 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. Platinum, palladium, silver and other minerals are converted to GEOs by dividing associated revenue, which includes settlement adjustments, by the relevant gold price. The gold 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 for the month, quarter, or year in which the mineral was produced or sold. For Q2/2019, the average commodity prices were as follows: $1,310 gold (Q2/2018 - $1,306), $14.89 silver (Q2/2018 - $16.57), $842 platinum (Q2/2018 - $904) and $1,388 palladium (Q2/2018 - $979). For H1/2019, the average commodity prices were as follows: $1,307 gold (H1/2018 - $1,318), $15.23 silver (H1/2018 - $16.65), $833 platinum (H1/2018 - $941) and $1,435 palladium (H1/2018 - $1,008).
2. Cash Costs attributable to GEO production and Cash Costs per GEO are non-IFRS financial measures. Cash Costs attributable to GEO production is calculated by starting with total costs of sales and excluding depletion and depreciation, costs not attributable to GEO production such as our Energy operating costs, and other non-cash costs of sales such as costs related to our prepaid gold purchase agreement. Cash Costs is then divided by GEOs sold, excluding prepaid ounces, to arrive at Cash Costs per GEO.
3. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share are non-IFRS financial measures, which exclude the following from net income and earnings per share ("EPS"): income tax expense/recovery; finance expenses; finance income; depletion and depreciation; non-cash costs of sales; impairment charges related to royalty, stream and working interests and investments; gains/losses on sale of royalty interests; gains/losses on investments; and foreign exchange gains/losses and other income/expenses.
4. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share are non-IFRS financial measures, which exclude the following from net income and EPS: foreign exchange gains/losses and other income/expenses; impairment charges related to royalty, stream and working interests and investments; gains/losses on sale of royalty interests; gains/losses on investments; unusual non-recurring items; and the impact of income taxes on these items.
