THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 7, 2024 /CNW/ - "Wheaton achieved record cash flow from operations in the third quarter of 2024, underscoring the effectiveness of our business model in leveraging rising commodity prices, with our cash operating margins increasing by over 30% relative to the third quarter of 2023. Our portfolio of operating assets delivered solid production levels, continuing to support our annual production guidance range for 2024 of 550,000 to 620,000 gold equivalent ounces," said Randy Smallwood, President and CEO of Wheaton Precious Metals. "Shortly following the quarter, Wheaton announced two accretive, precious metals streaming agreements, including a new stream on Montage's Koné Project and an amendment to the existing stream on Rio2's Fenix Project. Together, these transactions further diversify our strategic partnerships and the geography of our portfolio. Once ramped-up, the Koné Project is forecast to contribute meaningful near-term production, reinforcing Wheaton's already prominent position as a leader in the sector's growth landscape."

Solid Financial Results and Strong Balance Sheet

Third quarter of 2024: $308 million in revenue, $254 million in operating cash flow, $155 million in net earnings and $153 million in adjusted net earnings¹, and declared a quarterly dividend¹ of $0.155 per common share.
Balance Sheet: cash balance of $694 million, no debt, and an undrawn $2 billion revolving credit facility as at September 30, 2024 after making total upfront cash payments of $30 million relative to mineral stream and royalty interests in the quarter.

High Quality Asset Base

Streaming and royalty agreements on 18 operating mines and 28 development projects⁵, including the addition of the Koné project announced subsequent to the quarter.
93% of attributable production from assets in the lowest half of their respective cost curves^2,4.
Attributable gold equivalent production³ ("GEOs") of 144,200 ounces in the third quarter of 2024 and 448,400 for the first nine months of 2024, with quarterly production consistent with the comparable period of the prior year, as lower production from Salobo and Constancia was largely offset by higher production from Peñasquito.
Average annual forecast production guidance for 2024 of 550,000 to 620,000 GEOs³ maintained, with forecasted sector-leading growth to over 800,000 GEOs³ by 2028, and average annual forecast attributable production growing to over 850,000 GEOs³in years 2029 to 2033.
Further de-risked forecast growth profile as construction activities advanced at the Blackwater, Goose, Platreef, and Mineral Park projects, all of which are expected to be producing within the next 12 months.
Subsequent to the quarter, the Company announced two accretive precious metals streaming agreements:
- On October 23, 2024, the Company entered into a precious metals purchase agreement ("PMPA") with Montage Gold Corp. in respect to the Koné Gold Project located in Côte d'Ivoire.
- On October 21, 2024, the Company amended the Fenix PMPA, increasing the amount of attributable gold it is entitled to under the contract.

Financial Review

Revenues
Revenue in the third quarter of 2024 was $308 million (61% gold, 37% silver, 1% palladium and 1% cobalt), with the $85 million increase relative to the prior period quarter being primarily due to a 26% increase in the average realized gold equivalent³ price; and a 10% increase in the number of GEOs³ sold.

Revenue was $904 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, representing a $202 million increase from the comparable period of the previous year due primarily to a 16% increase in the average realized gold equivalent³ price; and an 11% increase in the number of GEOs³ sold.

Cash Costs and Margin
Average cash costs¹ in the third quarter of 2024 were $437 per GEO³ as compared to $445 in the third quarter of 2023. This resulted in a cash operating margin¹ of $2,075 per GEO³ sold, an increase of 34% as compared with the third quarter of 2023, a result of the higher realized price per ounce coupled with the lower average cash costs due to changes in the sales mix.

Average cash costs¹ for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $434 per GEO³ as compared to $457 in the comparable period of the previous year. This resulted in a cash operating margin¹ of $1,885 per GEO³ sold, a 22% increase from comparable period of the previous year.

Cash Flow from Operations
Operating cash flow in the third quarter of 2024 amounted to $254 million, with the $83 million increase due primarily to the higher gross margin.

Operating cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 amounted to $708 million, with the $200 million increase from the comparable period of the previous year being due primarily to the higher gross margin.

Balance Sheet (at September 30, 2024)

Approximately $694 million of cash on hand
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company made total upfront cash payments of $30 million relative to the mineral stream and royalty interests consisting of:
- $25 million relative to the Mineral Park PMPA; and
- $5 million relative to the DeLamar Royalty.
With the existing cash on hand coupled with the fully undrawn $2 billion revolving credit facility, the Company believes it is well positioned to fund all outstanding commitments and known contingencies as well as providing flexibility to acquire additional accretive mineral stream interests.

Global Minimum Tax
The Company is within the scope of global minimum tax ("GMT") under the OECD Pillar Two model rules ("Pillar Two"), under which large multinational entities are subject to a 15% GMT. On June 20, 2024, Canada's Global Minimum Tax Act ("GMTA"), received royal assent. The GMTA enacts the OECD Pillar Two model rules where in scope companies are subject to a 15% GMT for fiscal years commencing on or after December 31, 2023. With the enactment of the GMTA on June 20, 2024, the income of the Company's subsidiaries which operate in jurisdictions with a statutory tax rate of 0% are subject to the GMTA. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 an amount of $28 million current tax expense associated with GMT was recorded (nine months - $78 million). GMT accrued to December 31, 2024, is payable on or before June 30, 2026 (18 months following year-end).

Third Quarter Operating Asset Highlights

Salobo: In the third quarter of 2024, Salobo produced 62,700 ounces of attributable gold, a decrease of approximately 9% relative to the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to lower grades, partially offset by higher throughput. On July 25, 2024, Vale S.A. ("Vale") reported that the Salobo III processing plant operations resumed in July, after being halted for 31 days due to a fire on a conveyor belt. Vale confirmed that 2024 copper production guidance of 320-355 kt has been maintained.

Antamina: In the third quarter of 2024, Antamina produced 0.9 million ounces of attributable silver, an increase of approximately 3% relative to the third quarter of 2023 primarily due to higher recoveries, partially offset by lower throughput.

Peñasquito: In the third quarter of 2024, Peñasquito produced 1.8 million ounces of attributable silver, with Peñasquito producing no ounces in the third quarter of 2023 as a result of a labour strike which lasted from June 7 to October 13, 2023.

Constancia: In the third quarter of 2024, Constancia produced 0.6 million ounces of attributable silver and 10,400 ounces of attributable gold, a decrease of approximately 7% and 45%, respectively, relative to the third quarter of 2023. The decrease in silver production was primarily due to lower recoveries. The decrease in gold production was primarily the result of lower gold grades due largely to the planned stripping activity in the Pampacancha pit, which commenced in the second quarter, and continued throughout the third quarter. On August 13, 2024, Hudbay Minerals Inc. ("Hudbay") reported that the stripping program for the next mining phase at Pampacancha was underway and expected to lead to significantly higher copper and gold grades in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Sudbury: In the third quarter of 2024, Vale's Sudbury mines produced 4,300 ounces of attributable gold, an increase of approximately 11% relative to the third quarter of 2023, due to higher throughput.

Stillwater: In the third quarter of 2024, the Stillwater mines produced 2,200 ounces of attributable gold and 4,000 ounces of attributable palladium, a decrease of approximately 8% for gold relative to the third quarter of 2023, due primarily to lower recoveries, while palladium production was virtually unchanged. On September 12, 2024, Sibanye Stillwater ("Sibanye") announced that as a result of low palladium prices it was placing the Stillwater West operations into care and maintenance, while Stillwater East and East Boulder operations continue to operate. Sibanye reports that Stillwater West could return to production as prices permit. Based on Sibanye's Q3 MD&A, the Company's management estimates that with the Stillwater West operations in care and maintenance, 2025 production relative to the Stillwater PMPA will be approximately 40% to 45% lower than historical levels.

Voisey's Bay: In the third quarter of 2024, the Voisey's Bay mine produced 397,000 pounds of attributable cobalt, an increase of approximately 118% relative to the third quarter of 2023, as the transitional period between the depletion of the Ovoid open-pit and ramp-up to full production of the Voisey's Bay underground mine nears completion. Vale reported that physical completion of the Voisey's Bay underground mine extension was 99% at the end of the third quarter, with all surface construction completed and the commissioning of the Reid Brook power plant remaining. In the Eastern Deeps Mine, the Bulk Material Handling system achieved mechanical completion in early October and Vale indicated that the focus is now on commissioning, with handover to Operations within 2024. Demobilization efforts are ongoing, with Surface contractors already fully demobilized.

Other Silver: In the third quarter of 2024, total Other Silver attributable production was 1.2 million ounces, a decrease of approximately 34% relative to the third quarter of 2023. The decrease from the comparable period of the prior year is primarily due to the temporary suspension of attributable ore mined at Aljustrel commencing September 24, 2023.

Detailed mine-by-mine production and sales figures can be found in the Appendix to this press release and in Wheaton's consolidated MD&A in the 'Results of Operations and Operational Review' section.

Corporate Development

Koné Gold Project

On October 23, 2024, the Company entered into a PMPA (the "Koné Gold PMPA") with Montage Gold Corp. ("Montage") in respect of its 90% owned Koné Gold Project located in Côte d'Ivoire. Under the terms of the agreement, Wheaton will purchase 19.5% of the payable gold production until 400,000 ounces of gold have been delivered (subject to adjustment if there are delays in deliveries relative to an agreed schedule), 10.8% of the gold production until the delivery of a further 130,000 ounces and 5.4% gold production thereafter for the life of mine. Under the terms of the Koné Gold PMPA, the Company is committed to pay Montage total upfront cash payments of $625 million, payable in four equal installment payments during construction, subject to certain conditions, including that all permits have been obtained.

In addition, Wheaton will make ongoing production payments for the gold ounces delivered equal to 20% of the spot gold price. For the first five years after the PMPA is signed, there will be a price adjustment mechanism in place if the spot price of gold is less than $2,100 per ounce or greater than $2,700 per ounce.

The Company has also provided Montage with a secured debt facility of up to $75 million (the "Facility").

Amendment to the Fenix PMPA

On November 15, 2021, the Company acquired a gold stream in respect of gold production from the Fenix Project (the "Fenix PMPA"). Under the terms of the Fenix PMPA, the Company was to acquire an amount of gold equal to 6% of the gold production until 90,000 ounces have been delivered, 4% of the gold production until the delivery of a further 140,000 ounces and 3.5% gold production thereafter for the life of mine.

On October 21, 2024, the Company amended the Fenix PMPA. Under the terms of the amended agreement, the Company is entitled to purchase an additional 16% of payable gold production (22% in total, subject to adjustment if there are delays in deliveries relative to an agreed schedule). Once Rio2 delivers the incremental 95,000 ounces (as adjusted), the stream reverts to the percentages and thresholds under the original Fenix PMPA (as described above). Rio2 has a one-time option to terminate the requirement to deliver the additional gold production from the end of 2027 until the end of 2029 by delivering 95,000 ounces (as adjusted) less previously delivered gold ounces, excluding those gold ounces which would have been delivered under the original Fenix PMPA. Finally, the Company has also agreed to adjust the production payment for all gold ounces delivered to 20% of the spot gold price. In exchange for the amendment, the Company is committed to pay additional upfront cash consideration of $100 million, payable in two equal installments, subject to various customary conditions being satisfied.

Wheaton will also provide a $20 million contingent secured debt facility in the form of a standby loan facility. Lastly, Wheaton has committed to participate in a private placement of Rio2 common shares for Cdn$5 million at a price per share equal to, and concurrent with, a public offering by Rio2.

Sustainability

Future of Mining Challenge

On September 16, 2024, Wheaton announced the launch of the inaugural Future of Mining Challenge, which will award US$1 million to a winning venture to advance their technology. The Future of Mining Challenge invites cleantech ventures from around the world to submit and propose industry solutions. This year's challenge focuses on identifying eligible technologies with the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across mining operations. In alignment with Wheaton's business model, the solutions should be applicable to base and/or precious metal mining. They should also be scalable globally, with the aim of future implementation at operating mines. The challenge is being supported by Foresight Canada. Submissions for challenge applications opened in September 2024, and the winner will be announced in March 2025 at the PDAC Convention in Toronto, the world's largest mining conference. More information can be found at www.futureofmining.ca.

Community Investment Program

In August 2024, the BC Cancer Foundation's Tour de Cure presented by Wheaton raised C$7.3 million to advance groundbreaking cancer research and care enhancements in British Columbia.

2024 and Long-Term Production Outlook

Wheaton's estimated attributable production in 2024 is forecast to be 325,000 to 370,000 ounces of gold, 18.5 to 20.5 million ounces of silver, and 12,000 to 15,000 GEOs³ of other metals, resulting in annual production of approximately 550,000 to 620,000 GEOs³, unchanged from previous guidance^2,3.

Annual production is forecast to increase by approximately 40% to over 800,000 GEOs³ by 2028, with average annual production forecast to grow to over 850,000 GEO³in years 2029 to 2033, also unchanged from previous guidance⁶. The transactions announced in 2024, including the new stream associated with the Koné Project and the amendment related to the Fenix Project, have not been incorporated into the long-term guidance.

The Company will provide updated longer-term guidance in normal course in the first quarter of 2025, which will incorporate the impact of recent developments and the acquisitions announced in 2024.^2,3

1)	All figures in thousands except gold and palladium ounces produced.
2)	Quantity produced represent the amount of gold, silver, palladium and cobalt contained in concentrate or doré prior to smelting or refining deductions. Production figures and payable rates are based on information provided by the operators of the mining operations to which the mineral stream interests relate or management estimates in those situations where other information is not available. Certain production figures and payable rates may be updated in future periods as additional information is received.
3)	Comprised of the Coleman, Copper Cliff, Garson, Creighton and Totten gold interests.
4)	Under the terms of the San Dimas PMPA, the Company is entitled to an amount equal to 25% of the payable gold production plus an additional amount of gold equal to 25% of the payable silver production converted to gold at a fixed gold to silver exchange ratio of 70:1 from the San Dimas mine. If the average gold to silver price ratio decreases to less than 50:1 or increases to more than 90:1 for a period of 6 months or more, then the "70" shall be revised to "50" or "90", as the case may be, until such time as the average gold to silver price ratio is between 50:1 to 90:1 for a period of 6 months or more in which event the "70" shall be reinstated. For reference, attributable silver production from prior periods is as follows: Q3 2024 - 262,000 ounces; Q2 2024 - 285,000 ounces; Q1 2024 - 291,000 ounces; Q4 2023 - 378,000 ounces; Q3 2023 - 387,000 ounces; Q2 2023 - 423,000 ounces; Q1 2023 - 401,000 ounces; Q4 2022 - 348,000 ounces.
5)	Comprised of the Stillwater and East Boulder gold and palladium interests.
6)	On May 13, 2023, Minto Metals Corp. announced the suspension of operations at the Minto mine.
7)	There was a temporary suspension of operations at Peñasquito due to a labour strike which ran from June 7, 2023 to October 13, 2023.
8)	On September 12, 2023, it was announced that the production of the zinc and lead concentrates at the Aljustrel mine will be halted from September 24, 2023 until the second quarter of 2025.
9)	On December 14, 2022 the Company terminated the Yauliyacu PMPA in exchange for a cash payment of $132 million.
10)	GEOs, which are provided to assist the reader, are based on the following commodity price assumptions: $2,000 per ounce gold; $23.00 per ounce silver; $1,000 per ounce palladium; and $13.00 per pound cobalt; consistent with those used in estimating the Company's production guidance for 2024.

Non-IFRS Measures

Wheaton has included, throughout this document, certain non-IFRS performance measures, including (i) adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share; (ii) operating cash flow per share (basic and diluted); (iii) average cash costs of gold, silver and palladium on a per ounce basis and cobalt on a per pound basis; and (iv) cash operating margin.

i.	Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share are calculated by removing the effects of non-cash impairment charges (reversals) (if any), non-cash fair value (gains) losses and other one-time (income) expenses as well as the reversal of non-cash income tax expense (recovery) which is offset by income tax expense (recovery) recognized in the Statements of Shareholders' Equity and OCI, respectively. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, management and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance.

	The following table provides a reconciliation of adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share (basic and diluted).

	iii.	Average cash cost of gold, silver and palladium on a per ounce basis and cobalt on a per pound basis is calculated by dividing the total cost of sales, less depletion and cost of sales related to delay ounces, by the ounces or pounds sold. In the precious metal mining industry, this is a common performance measure but does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. In addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, management and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance and ability to generate cash flow.

		The following table provides a calculation of average cash cost of gold, silver and palladium on a per ounce basis and cobalt on a per pound basis.

The cost of sales related to delay ounces is a non-cash expense. Please see the Company's MD&A for more information.

Cash cost per pound of cobalt sold during the third quarter of 2023 was net of a previously recorded inventory write-down of $0.1 million (nine months - $1.6 million), resulting in a decrease of $0.51 per pound of cobalt sold (nine months - $2.05 per pound of cobalt sold).

iv.	Cash operating margin is calculated by adding back depletion and the cost of sales related to delay ounces to the gross margin. Cash operating margin on a per ounce or per pound basis is calculated by dividing the cash operating margin by the number of ounces or pounds sold during the period. The Company presents cash operating margin as management and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance in comparison to other companies in the precious metal mining industry who present results on a similar basis as well as to evaluate the Company's ability to generate cash flow.

Cautionary Language Regarding Reserves and Resources

For further information on Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources and on Wheaton more generally, readers should refer to Wheaton's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed on March 28, 2024 and other continuous disclosure documents filed by Wheaton since January 1, 2024, available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. Wheaton's Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources are subject to the qualifications and notes set forth therein. Mineral Resources, which are not Mineral Reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Cautionary Note to United States Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources: The information contained herein has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. The Company reports information regarding mineral properties, mineralization and estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources in accordance with Canadian reporting requirements which are governed by, and utilize definitions required by, Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") – CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the "CIM Standards"). These definitions differ from the definitions adopted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") which are applicable to U.S. companies. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources that the Company may report as "proven mineral reserves", "probable mineral reserves", "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the reserve or resource estimates under the standards adopted by the SEC. Accordingly, information contained herein that describes Wheaton's mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. United States investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in Wheaton's Form 40-F, a copy of which may be obtained from Wheaton or from https://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml.
