Franco-Nevada Reports 2018 Results
“Franco-Nevada’s largest investment, Cobre Panama, has now begun milling ore. Along with improved production from a
number of our key assets, we expect very good growth in our gold equivalent ounces over the next five years. We are also
seeing an increasing number of gold investment opportunities and have already added several smaller gold royalties this
year,” stated David Harquail, CEO. “Last year, our U.S. energy royalties substantially exceeded our expectations. We expect
these assets will continue to grow over the next five years.”

For Q4/2018, revenue was sourced 87.7% from gold and gold equivalents (66.3% gold, 10.9% silver, 7.6% PGM and 2.9%
other mining assets) and 12.3% from energy (oil, gas and NGLs). 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
79.0% from the Americas (35.6% Latin America, 25.0% U.S. and 18.4% Canada). Operating costs and expenses decreased
year-over-year, reflecting lower stream ounce deliveries.
Corporate Updates
Salares Norte: On January 31, 2019, Franco-Nevada, through a wholly-owned Chilean subsidiary, acquired an existing
2% NSR on Gold Fields’ Salares Norte gold project in the Atacama region of northern Chile for $32.0 million, comprised
of $27.0 million of Franco-Nevada common shares (366,499 common shares) and $5.0 million in cash. Gold Fields
has an option to buy back 1% of the NSR for $6.0 million within 24 months of commercial production.
Valentine Lake: On February 21, 2019, Franco-Nevada acquired a 2% NSR on Marathon Gold Corporation’s
(“Marathon”) Valentine Lake Gold Camp in central Newfoundland for C$18.0 million. Marathon has an option to buy
back 0.5% of the NSR for $7.0 million until December 31, 2022.
2019 Guidance
In 2019, Franco-Nevada expects attributable royalty and stream production to total 465,000 to 500,000 GEOs from its
mining assets and revenue of $70 to $85 million from its energy assets. Of the royalty and stream production from mining
assets, 305,000 to 335,000 GEOs are expected from Franco-Nevada’s various stream agreements. For 2019 guidance,
silver, platinum and palladium metals have been converted to GEOs using assumed commodity prices of $1,300/oz Au,
$15.25/oz Ag, $825/oz Pt and $1,500/oz Pd. The WTI oil price is assumed to average $55 per barrel. The Company
estimates depletion expense of $295 to $325 million. 2019 guidance and 5-year outlook below is based on public forecasts
and other disclosure by the third-party owners and operators of our assets or our assessment thereof.
5-Year Outlook
Our outlook to 2023 assumes that the Cobre Panama project will have reached its initial 85 million tonnes per year mill
throughput capacity before 2023 with no additional expansion. Using the same commodity price assumptions as were used
for our 2019 guidance (see above) and assuming no other acquisitions, Franco-Nevada expects its existing portfolio to
produce between 570,000 to 610,000 GEOs by 2023. Energy revenues at the same $55 per barrel WTI oil price assumption
are expected to range between $140 to $160 million, and assumes all of the committed capital for the Continental Royalty
Acquisition Venture is funded.
Q4/2018 Portfolio Updates
Mining — Latin America: GEOs from Latin American mining assets decreased in Q4/2018 to 42,435 GEOs compared
with 60,568 GEOs in Q4/2017. Reduced deliveries from Candelaria and Guadalupe-Palmarejo had the largest impact.
Cobre Panama (gold and silver stream) – First Quantum announced on February 13, 2019 that first ore had been
introduced to the milling circuit at Cobre Panama. Ramp-up is scheduled over 2019 and 2020 with First Quantum
expecting production between 140,000 – 175,000 tonnes of contained copper in 2019. The agreement, which
indexes precious metal deliveries off the copper in concentrate shipped, would equate the midpoint of 2019
production to ~59,000 GEOs due to Franco-Nevada. There will be a delay in timing of revenue recognition from the
production schedule noted above, particularly in 2019 due to shipping schedules and timing of payment for
concentrates. As a result, Franco-Nevada expects deliveries to be between 20,000 to 40,000 GEOs in 2019.
Candelaria (gold and silver stream) – GEOs earned from Candelaria were lower due to the temporary processing of
lower grade materials as well as a delay in year-end deliveries. Processing of higher grade ore is expected to
resume later in 2019.
3
Antapaccay (gold and silver stream) – Antapaccay had a good quarter and year, and was Franco-Nevada’s largest
revenue contributor for 2018.
Antamina (22.5% silver stream) – GEOs earned from Antamina were lower as expected and forecasted in
Antamina’s 2018 life of mine plan.
Cerro Moro (2% royalty) – Cerro Moro began production in 2018. Franco-Nevada will benefit from the first full year
of production in 2019.
Guadalupe-Palmarejo (50% gold stream) –GEOs sold in Q4/2018 were down year-over-year as less mining
occurred on Franco-Nevada stream lands.
Mining — U.S.: GEOs from U.S. mining assets increased by 9.2% in Q4/2018 compared with Q4/2017 mainly due to
higher payments from Goldstrike and Bald Mountain. GEOs received from the U.S. mining assets were 21,244 GEOs.
Goldstrike (2-4% royalty & 2.4-6% NPI); Gold Quarry (7.29% royalty) – Barrick and Newmont’s proposed joint
venture in Nevada is expected to realize synergies. This could positively impact the NPI royalty at Goldstrike.
Rosemont (1.5% royalty) – Hudbay announced in March 2019 the receipt of the final key federal permit
outstanding allowing the company to advance Rosemont towards construction. Hudbay subsequently announced
that it has reached an agreement to purchase United Copper & Moly LLC’s 7.95% interest in the project and
terminate the earn-in and off-take rights. 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.
Stillwater (5% royalty) – Sibanye-Stillwater is forecasting PGM production between 645,000-675,000 ounces for
2019 as the Blitz project continues to ramp-up. Blitz is anticipated to increase total PGM production from
Stillwater by more than 50% to approximately 850,000 ounces per year by late 2021 or early 2022.
Fire Creek/Midas (2.5% royalty) – The fixed delivery requirement for Fire Creek/Midas was met in 2018. The new
operator, Hecla, has placed the Midas mine on care and maintenance with more focus being placed on increasing
production from Fire Creek.
Mining — Canada : GEOs from Canadian mining assets decreased slightly in Q4/2018 to 16,066 GEOs compared with
Q4/2017 mainly due to reduced payments from Sudbury and Golden Highway.
Brucejack (1.2% royalty) – Brucejack surpassed the approximate 500,000 gold ounce production threshold in
December 2018 which triggered the start of royalty payments to Franco-Nevada. Gold production for 2019 is
expected in the range of 390,000–420,000 ounces.
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 has 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 largely offset by plans to put the Levack mine on care
and maintenance at the end of March 2019.
Golden Highway (0.25–10% royalty) – Franco-Nevada and Kirkland Lake amended the royalty agreement on the
Holloway property to a fixed 3% NSR royalty versus the previous sliding scale royalty. Kirkland Lake is now targeting
approximately 20,000 ounces of production in 2019, growing to approximately 50,000 ounces by 2021.
Previously, the Holloway mine was on care and maintenance.
Timmins West (2.25% royalty) – Pan American Silver completed its acquisition of Tahoe Resources in February
2019, the previous operator of the Timmins West mine.
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 the goal of increasing production at Macassa to over 400,000 ounces per
year over the next five to seven years.
Dublin Gulch (Eagle) (1.5–2% royalty) – Victoria Gold estimates that the Eagle Gold project is 60% complete as of
January 2019 with first gold pour expected in the second half of 2019. Eagle is expected to produce 190,000
ounces per year over a 10 year mine life.
Mining — Rest of World: GEOs from Rest of World mining assets were 25,132 GEOs during the quarter, a 7.1%
increase compared to Q4/2017 as increased production from Subika and Tasiast positively impacted the quarter.
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 and declare commercial
production in the second half of 2019.
4
Duketon (2% royalty) – Regis Resources announced plans to proceed with development of an underground mining
operation directly below the current Rosemont open pit.
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.
Agi Dagi (2% royalty) – Alamos received its operating permit for Kirazli (not part of royalty) and expects to start
earthworks at the project. When Kirazli is constructed, the development focus is expected to shift to Agi Dagi.
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 engages in discussions with the Government of Mauritania.
Energy: Revenue from the energy assets increased to $18.2 million in Q4/2018 compared to $14.0 million in
Q4/2017, reflecting the additional contributions from our new investments in the SCOOP/STACK and positive year-
over-year production from the Permian Basin interests. This was partially offset by lower revenue from our Canadian
assets which were negatively impacted by price differentials and other factors.
SCOOP/STACK (Continental) (various royalty rates) – The transaction with Continental closed on October 23, 2018
and generated $1.7 million in revenue in Q4/2018. The Royalty Acquisition Venture is having good success at
acquiring additional royalties. As at December 31, 2018, Franco-Nevada has funded $261.8 million to the Royalty
Acquisition Venture and its remaining commitment over the next three years is $258.2 million.
SCOOP/STACK (other) (various royalty rates) – These assets generated $3.2 million in revenue in Q4/2018 versus
$1.4 million in Q4/2017, due to an increase in volumes from new wells on royalty lands. Encana is now a
significant operator over our STACK royalty lands.
Weyburn (NRI, ORR, WI) – Weyburn contributed $4.6 million in revenue in Q4/2018 versus $8.8 million in
Q4/2017. Revenues in the quarter were affected by lower realized prices and increased capital spending at the
operation. Looking to 2019, realized prices are expected to improve as a result of a more balanced market in
western Canada and capital spending at Weyburn is expected to be lower.
Permian Basin (various royalty rates) – Our interests in the Permian Basin earned revenue of $6.3 million in
Q4/2018 versus $0.8 million in Q4/2017, reflecting the addition of the Delaware royalties, an increase in volumes
from new wells and proceeds received from prior periods.
Orion (4% GORR) – Orion generated $0.6 million in revenue in Q4/2018 versus $1.2 million in Q4/2017. Revenue
was negatively impacted by price differentials and government mandated volume curtailments which are both
expected to improve in 2019.

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 Q4/2018, the average commodity prices
were as follows: $1,228 gold (2017 - $1,274), $14.55 silver (2017 - $16.70), $822 platinum (2017 - $920) and
$1,157 palladium (2017 - $993). For 2018, the average commodity prices were as follows: $1,268 gold (2017 -
$1,257), $15.71 silver (2017 - $17.05), $881 platinum (2017 - $948) and $1,028 palladium (2017 - $870).
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 sale 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.
