Wheaton is the world’s premier precious metals streaming company with the highest-quality portfolio of long-life, low-cost assets. Its business model offers investors commodity price leverage and exploration upside but with a much lower risk pro?le than a traditional mining company.

As a result, Wheaton has consistently outperformed gold and silver, as well as other mining investments. The company is committed to strong ESG practices and giving back to the communities where Wheaton and its mining partners operate. Wheaton creates sustainable value through streaming for all of its stakeholders.

Letter from the President & CEO I’d like to start by thanking you, our stakeholders, for your continued support and investment in Wheaton in a year where the aftereffects of the pandemic, and global conflicts, had an impact on each of our lives, our society and the economy. Because of this, it has become more important than ever to create value for and provide support to our full range of stakeholders, including our mining partners, host communities and, of course, our shareholders.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [2]

Overview

Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. is a precious metal streaming company which generates its revenue primarily from the sale of precious metals (gold, silver and palladium) and cobalt. The Company is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and the London Stock Exchange (“LSE”) and trades under the symbol WPM.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company has 28 long-term purchase agreements (three of which are early deposit agreements), with 22 different mining companies, for the purchase of precious metals and cobalt (“precious metal purchase agreements” or “PMPA”) relating to 20 mining assets which are currently operating, 12 which are at various stages of development and 3 which have been placed in care and maintenance or have been closed, located in 13 countries. Pursuant to the PMPAs, Wheaton acquires metal production from the counterparties for an initial upfront payment plus an additional cash payment for each ounce or pound delivered which is fixed by contract, generally at or below the prevailing market price. Attributable metal production as referred to in this MD&A is the metal production to which Wheaton is entitled pursuant to the various PMPAs. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the per ounce price paid by the Company for the metals acquired under the agreements averaged $472 for gold, $5.33 for silver, $377 for palladium and $5.87 per pound for cobalt. The primary drivers of the Company’s financial results are the volume of metal production at the various mining assets to which the PMPAs relate and the price realized by Wheaton upon the sale of the metals received. Throughout this MD&A, the production and sales volume of gold, silver and palladium are reported in ounces, while cobalt is reported in pounds.

Metal	2023               Forecast1	5-year Annual       Average (2023-2027)2	10-year Annual       Average (2023-2032)2
Gold Ounces	320,000 to 350,000
Silver Ounces (‘000s)	20,000 to 22,000
Other Metals (Palladium & Cobalt) (GEOsi)	22,000 to 25,000
Gold Equivalent Ounces based on: $1,850 / oz gold, $24 / oz silver, $1,800 / oz palladium, $1,100 / oz platinum and $18.75 / lb cobalt	600,000 to 660,000	810,000	850,000

1) Ounces produced represent the quantity of silver, gold, palladium and cobalt contained in concentrate or doré prior to smelting or refining deductions

2) Five- and ten-year guidance do not include optionality production from Pascua Lama, Navidad, Cotabambas, Metates or additional expansions at Salobo outside of the project currently in construction. In addition, five-year guidance also does not include any production from Kutcho, or the Victor project at Sudbury.

In 2023, gold equivalent production is forecast to be slightly higher than 2022 as expected stronger attributable production from Salobo and Constancia is forecast to be offset by weaker production from Antamina and the termination of the silver stream on Yauliyacu. Attributable production is forecast to increase at Salobo as a result of uninterrupted operations as well as the start-up of the Salobo III mine expansion and at Constancia due to higher grades associated with the mining of the Pampacancha deposit. Attributable production is forecast to decrease at Antamina due to lower grades as per the mine plan.

Average forecast production over the next five years is expected to increase primarily due to anticipated continued production growth from Salobo, Stillwater, Constancia, Voisey’s Bay and Marmato as well as incremental production ounces from Blackwater, Toroparu, Marathon, Copper World Complex (formerly referred to as Rosemont in this MD&A) and Santo Domingo towards the latter end of the forecast period. Average forecast production over the next ten years includes additional incremental production from the Fenix project, Kutcho project and the Victor mine in Sudbury. Vale S.A. has indicated the potential for an additional expansion after the Salobo III expansion, but Wheaton does not currently include this in its forecast. Lastly, although Barrick Gold Corp. continues to advance a comprehensive review of the Pascua Lama project, Wheaton does not include any production from the project in its estimated average ten-year production guidance.

From a liquidity perspective, the $696 million of cash and cash equivalents as at December 31, 2022 combined with the liquidity provided by the available credit under the $2 billion revolving term loan (“Revolving Facility”) and ongoing operating cash flows positions the Company well to fund all outstanding commitments and known contingencies as well as providing flexibility to acquire additional accretive mineral stream interests.

Updates on the Operating Mineral Stream Interests

Salobo – Mill Throughput Expansion

The Salobo mine historically had a mill throughput capacity of 24 million tonnes per annum (“Mtpa”). Vale reports the Salobo III mine expansion project successfully commenced at the end of 2022. The project consists of two lines, which will increase the mill throughput by 50%, the first of which started up in the fourth quarter of 2022 and the second expected to start in the first quarter of 2023.

Subsequent to the quarter, Wheaton and Vale agreed to amend the Salobo PMPA (“Amended Salobo PMPA”) to adjust the expansion payment terms. If actual throughput is expanded above 32 Mtpa by January 1, 2031, then under the terms of the Amended Salobo PMPA, Wheaton will be required to make additional set payments to Vale based on the size of the expansion and the timing of completion. The set payments range from a total of $283 million if throughput is expanded beyond 32 Mtpa by January 1, 2031, to up to $552 million if throughput is expanded beyond 35 Mtpa by January 1, 2024. In addition, Wheaton will be required to make annual payments of between $5.1 million to $8.5 million for a 10-year period following payment of the expansion payments if the Salobo mine implements a high-grade mine plan.

Voisey’s Bay – Underground Mine Extension

Vale reports that physical completion of the Voisey’s Bay underground mine extension was 81% at the end of the fourth quarter. In the second quarter of 2021, Vale achieved the first ore production from the Reid Brook deposit, the first of two underground mines to be developed in the project. Eastern Deeps, the second deposit, has started to extract development ore from the deposit and is scheduled to start the main production ramp-up in the second half of 2023.

Yauliyacu

On August 18, 2022, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with Glencore plc (“Glencore”) to terminate its silver stream on the Yauliyacu mine in Peru for a cash payment of $150 million, less the aggregate value of any deliveries to Wheaton, prior to closing, of silver produced subsequent to December 31, 2021. The transaction closed on December 6, 2022 and the Company received a cash payment of $132 million. The Yauliyacu PMPA was terminated on December 14, 2022.

777

On August 8, 2012, the Company entered into a PMPA with Hudbay Minerals Inc. (“Hudbay”) in respect to the 777 mine. Under the terms of the 777 PMPA, should the market value of gold and silver delivered to Wheaton through the initial 40 year term of the contract, net of the per ounce cash payment, be lower than the initial $455 million upfront consideration, the Company is entitled to a refund of the difference (the “Refundable Deposit”) at the conclusion of the 40 year term. On June 22, 2022, Hudbay announced that mining activities at the 777 mine have concluded after the reserves were depleted and closure activities have commenced.

At December 31, 2022, the balance of the Refundable Deposit was $79 million. The Company has estimated that a credit facility with similar terms and conditions would have an interest rate of 8%, resulting in the Refundable Deposit having a fair value of $8 million at December 31, 2022, resulting in a $2 million impairment on the 777 PMPA. The Company has derecognized the 777 PMPA and recognized a long-term receivable, with interest to be accreted on a quarterly basis until maturity which is August 8, 2052.

Updates on the Development Mineral Stream Interests

Fenix – Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”)

Under the terms of the Fenix PMPA related to the Fenix Gold project (“Fenix Gold”) in Chile, the Company is committed to pay total cash consideration of $50 million to Rio2 Limited (“Rio2”), of which $25 million was paid on March 25, 2022.

On July 5, 2022, Rio2 announced that the Regional Evaluation Commission voted to not approve the EIA. On September 7, 2022, Rio2 further announced that it had identified numerous discrepancies with the factual and procedural matters in the Environmental Qualification Resolution (“RCA”), resulting in the filing of an administrative appeal on August 31, 2022. In parallel with the administrative appeal process, Rio2 indicated that they will work closely with regional authorities to address any remaining concerns. On September 7, 2022, Rio2 stated that the estimated timing for obtaining EIA approval is approximately one and a half to two years.

The Company’s management has determined that no indicator of impairment existed as of the balance sheet date and will continue to monitor Rio2’s response to the Regional Evaluation Commission decision.

Copper World Project

Hudbay reports that it has executed a new strategy at the Copper World Project focused on project de-risking and a two-phase mine plan with the first phase located on private land claims. The pre-feasibility study for Phase I of Copper World is well-advanced with the main facility engineering completed and metallurgical test work being analyzed as part of the concentrate leaching trade off evaluations. The pre-feasibility study is expected to be released in the second quarter of 2023.

Blackwater Project

Artemis Gold Inc. (“Artemis”) announced that it had executed an order for construction equipment required for major construction activities with the initial fleet expected to be delivered in early Q2 2023. In addition, plant site preparation is well advanced with the majority of the bulk earth works completed, and work on the construction camp is proceeding on schedule with 150 rooms and kitchen facilities on track to be ready for occupation by the end of February. Artemis also announced that it has closed the $385 million project loan facility to fund a significant component of the estimated construction costs of the Blackwater project. On March 9, 2023, Artemis announced the approval of its BC Mines Act Permit for the Blackwater project. The approval of the BC Mines Act Permit is the final step required to allow Artemis to commence major works construction activities at the Blackwater Mine in Q1 2023 with the expectation of an initial gold pour in the second half of 2024.

Marathon Project

Gen Mining announced that the Marathon Project was approved by the joint Federal and Provincial Environmental Assessment process, and that they will now proceed to obtain the necessary permits for construction and operation.

Curipamba Project

Adventus announced that the Government of Ecuador has signed the Investment Contract in support of the development of the El Domo deposit, which is part of the Curipamba Project.

Goose Project

Subsequent to the quarter, Sabina announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which B2Gold Corp. has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Sabina.

Early Deposit Mineral Stream Interests

Early deposit mineral stream interests represent agreements relative to early stage development projects whereby Wheaton can choose not to proceed with the agreement once certain documentation has been received including, but not limited to, feasibility studies, environmental studies and impact assessment studies. Once Wheaton has elected to proceed with the agreement, the carrying value of the stream will be transferred to Mineral Stream Interests.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [9]

1) Expressed in thousands; excludes closing costs and capitalized interest, where applicable.

2) Please refer to the section entitled “Other Contractual Obligations and Contingencies” on page 33 of this MD&A for details of when the remaining upfront consideration is forecast to be paid.

3) Once 90 million silver equivalent ounces attributable to Wheaton have been produced, the attributable production will decrease to 16.67% of gold production and 66.67% of silver production for the life of mine.

Kutcho – Contract Modifications

As discussed in the Convertible Notes Receivable section of this MD&A, on February 18, 2022, the Company agreed to modify the Kutcho Early Deposit Agreement, including the elimination of the drop-down in attributable gold and silver to 66.7% once certain thresholds had been achieved, and eliminating the requirement to make an additional payment to Kutcho, of up to $20 million, if processing throughput is increased to 4,500 tonnes per day or more within 5 years of attaining commercial production.

Mineral Royalty Interests

On January 5, 2021, the Company paid $3 million for an existing 2.0% net smelter return royalty interest on the first 600,000 ounces of gold mined from ore extracted from the Brewery Creek quartz mineral claims located in the Yukon Territories, Canada owned by Golden Predator Exploration Ltd., a subsidiary of Sabre Gold Mines Corp. (“Golden Predator”) and any mineral tenure derived therefrom, and a 2.75% net smelter returns royalty interest thereafter (the “Brewery Creek Royalty”). The Brewery Creek Royalty agreement provides, among other things, that Golden Predator may reduce the 2.75% net smelter returns royalty interest to 2.125%, on payment of the sum of Cdn$2 million to Wheaton.

Additionally, the Company has a 0.5% net smelter return royalty interest in the Metates properties (the “Metates Royalty”) located in Mexico from Chesapeake Gold Corp. (“Chesapeake”) for the life of mine. The carrying cost of the Metates Royalty is $3 million. The Company also has a right of first refusal on any silver streaming, royalty or any other transaction on the Metates properties.

To date, no revenue has been recognized and no depletion has been taken with respect to these royalty agreements.

Long-Term Equity Investments

The Company will, from time to time, invest in securities of companies for strategic purposes including, but not limited to, exploration and mining companies. The Company held the following investments as at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

(in thousands)	December 31 2022		December 31 2021
Common shares held	$	255,535	$	59,941
Warrants held		560		1,536
Total long-term equity investments	$	256,095	$	61,477

The Company’s long-term investments in common shares (“LTI’s”) are held for long-term strategic purposes and not for trading purposes. As such, the Company has elected to reflect any fair value adjustments, net of tax, as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to net earnings on disposal of these long-term investments but is reclassified to retained earnings.

While long-term investments in warrants are also held for long-term strategic purposes, they meet the definition of a derivative and therefore are classified as financial assets with fair value adjustments being recorded as a component of net earnings under the classification Other (Income) Expense. Warrants that do not have a quoted market price are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [10]

By holding these long-term investments, the Company is inherently exposed to various risk factors including currency risk, market price risk and liquidity risk.

A summary of the fair value of these equity investments and the fair value changes recognized as a component of the Company’s OCI during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 is presented below:

Convertible Notes Receivable

Kutcho Copper Corp.

Effective December 14, 2017, in connection with the Kutcho Early Deposit Agreement, the Company advanced to Kutcho $16 million (Cdn$20 million) and received the Kutcho Convertible Note. The Kutcho Convertible Note, which had a seven year term to maturity, carried interest at 10% per annum, compounded and payable semi-annually. Kutcho elected to defer the first seven interest payments. The deferred interest carried interest at 15% per annum, compounded semi-annually.

In addition to the Kutcho Convertible Note, on November 25, 2019, the Company entered into a non-revolving term loan with Kutcho, under which Kutcho had drawn $0.8 million (Cdn$1.0 million). The credit facility carried interest at 15% per annum, compounded monthly.

Effective February 18, 2022, the Company agreed to settle and terminate the Kutcho Convertible Note and the non-revolving term loan with Kutcho in exchange for shares of Kutcho valued at $6.7 million in addition to certain other modifications to the Kutcho Early Deposit Agreement, including the elimination of the drop-down in attributable gold and silver to 66.7% once certain thresholds had been achieved, and eliminating the requirement to make an additional payment to Kutcho, of up to $20 million, if processing throughput is increased to 4,500 tonnes per day or more within 5 years of attaining commercial production.

A summary of the fair value of the Kutcho Convertible Note and the fair value changes recognized as a component of the Company’s net earnings during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 is presented below:

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. Operations at the Sudbury mines were suspended from June 1, 2021 to August 9, 2021 as a result of a labour disruption by unionized employees.

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. Effective April 1, 2020, the fixed gold to silver exchange ratio was revised to 90:1, with the 70:1 ratio being reinstated on October 15, 2020. For reference, attributable silver production from prior periods is as follows: Q4 2022 - 348,000 ounces; Q3 2022 - 412,000 ounces; Q2 2022 - 382,000 ounces; Q1 2022 - 408,000 ounces; Q4 2021 -544,000 ounces; Q3 2021 - 472,000 ounces; Q2 2021 - 467,000 ounces; Q1 2021 - 429,000 ounces.

1) All figures in thousands except gold and palladium ounces produced and sold, per unit amounts and per share amounts.

2) Expressed as dollars per ounce and for cobalt per pound.

3) Refer to discussion on non-IFRS beginning on page 52 of this MD&A.

4) Cash cost per pound of cobalt sold during the fourth quarter of 2022 includes an inventory write-down of $1.6 million, resulting in an increase of $8.71 per pound. The Company reflects the cobalt inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value, and will continue to monitor the market price of cobalt relative to the carrying of the inventory at each reporting period.

Changes in sales, net earnings and cash flow from operations from quarter to quarter are affected primarily by fluctuations in production at the mines, the timing of shipments, changes in the price of commodities, the commencement of operations of mines under construction, as well as acquisitions of PMPAs and any related capital raising activities.

GEO Production

For the three months ended December 31, 2022, attributable GEO production was 148,300 ounces, with the 36,300 ounce decrease from the comparable period in 2021 being primarily attributable to the following factors:

· 11,200 ounce or 29% decrease from the Other mines (comprised of 5,300 gold ounces and 438,000 silver ounces), primarily due to the placement of Stratoni into care and maintenance, the closure of the 777 mine and the disposal of the Keno Hill and Yauliyacu PMPAs;

· 10,300 ounce or 21% decrease from Salobo resulting from a decrease in throughput and grades due to changes in maintenance routines, with the two 12 mtpa lines operating at approximately 67% of capacity during Q4-2022 as compared to 73% during Q4-2021;

· 5,100 ounce or 18% decrease from Peñasquito (385,000 silver ounces), primarily due to lower recovery and grades consistent with their mine plan;

· 4,600 ounce or 66% decrease from Voisey’s Bay (253,000 cobalt pounds), primarily attributable to lower grades during the ongoing transitional period between the depletion of the Ovoid open-pit mine and ramp-up to full production of the Voisey’s Bay underground project;

· 3,700 ounce or 27% decrease from San Dimas, primarily due to lower grades, with First Majestic reporting that this was primarily the result of processing lower grade development ores from the Perez vein and higher tonnages from underground areas with challenging ground conditions within the Jessica and Regina veins in the Noche Buena area; and

· 3,400 ounce or 19% decrease from Antamina (259,000 silver ounces), primarily due to lower grades, consistent with their mine plan.

GEO Production

For the year ended December 31, 2022, attributable GEO production was 638,100 ounces, with the 116,500 ounce decrease from the comparable period in 2021 being primarily attributable to the following factors:

· 44,500 ounce or 22% decrease from Salobo, resulting from the mining grades and throughput due to changes in maintenance routines, with the two 12 mtpa lines operating at approximately 74% of capacity during 2022 as compared to 81% during 2021;

· 28,800 ounce or 68% decrease from Voisey’s Bay (1,569,000 cobalt pounds), primarily attributable to the comparable period in the prior year including approximately 12,400 GEOs (676,000 pounds of cobalt) which had been produced in prior periods and the mining of lower grade material during the ongoing transitional period between the depletion of the Ovoid open-pit mine and ramp-up to full production of the Voisey’s Bay underground project;

· 24,600 ounce or 15% decrease from the Other mines (comprised of 12,000 gold ounces and 945,000 silver ounces), primarily due to the placement of Stratoni into care and maintenance, the closure of the 777 mine and the disposal of the Keno Hill and Yauliyacu PMPAs;

· 12,300 ounce or 15% decrease from Antamina (926,000 silver ounces), primarily due to lower grades, consistent with their mine plan;

· 9,300 ounce or 26% decrease from Stillwater (comprised of 2,900 gold ounces and 5,400 palladium ounces), primarily attributable to lower throughput resulting from the effect of significant weather events in June; and

· 6,200 ounce or 5% decrease from Peñasquito (468,000 silver ounces), primarily due to lower recovery and grades consistent with their mine plan; partially offset by

· 10,200 ounce or 19% increase from Constancia (comprised of 5,700 gold ounces and 336,000 silver ounces), primarily due to the mining of higher grades resulting from the commencement of ore production from the Pampacancha satellite deposit and, for gold production, the increase in fixed recoveries from 55% to 70%, both occurring during Q2-2021.

Voisey’s Bay – Impairment Reversal

At June 30, 2019, the Company determined there to be an impairment charge relative to the Voisey’s Bay cobalt interest (“Voisey’s Bay PMPA”) due to a significant decline in market cobalt prices and a sale of a similar PMPA by a third-party group at a price significantly below Wheaton’s comparable carrying value for the Voisey’s Bay PMPA. At June 30, 2019, management estimated that the recoverable amount under the Voisey’s Bay PMPA was $227 million, representing its FVLCD and resulting in an impairment charge of $166 million.

At December 31, 2021, an indicator of impairment reversal was identified relative to the Voisey’s Bay PMPA as a result of significant and sustained increases in the market prices of cobalt over the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to market prices of cobalt at the time the original impairment was recorded. Management estimated that the recoverable amount at December 31, 2021 of the Voisey’s Bay PMPA exceeded the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depletion, had no impairment charge been recognized for the PMPA in prior years. The recoverable amount represented its FVLCD and resulted in an impairment reversal of $157 million at December 31, 2021 which represented a full reversal of the impairment charge recorded in the year ended December 31, 2019, net of depletion that otherwise would have been recorded. The recoverable amount of the Voisey’s Bay PMPA was estimated using a discounted cash flow model with an average discount rate of 8% and an average projected market price of cobalt of $23.97 per pound. As this valuation technique requires the use of estimates and assumptions such as commodity prices, discount rates, recoverable pounds of cobalt and operating performance, it is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Keno Hill – Impairment Reversal

At December 31, 2015, the Company determined there to be an impairment charge of $10.5 million relative to the Keno Hill silver interest (“Keno Hill PMPA”) due to the suspension of operations at the Bellekeno mine.

On September 7, 2022, the Company terminated the Keno Hill PMPA in exchange for 34,800,989 common shares of Hecla valued at $141 million. This value exceeded the carrying amount of the Keno Hill PMPA that would have been determined, net of depletion, had no impairment charge been recognized for the PMPA. As a result, an impairment reversal of $10.3 million has been recorded for the year ended December 31, 2022, which represents a full reversal of the impairment charge recorded in the year ended December 31, 2015, net of depletion that otherwise would have been recorded. The recoverable amount of the Keno Hill PMPA was determined based on the value of the consideration received in exchange for its termination, and as such is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

1) The production payment is measured as either a fixed amount per unit of metal delivered, or as a percentage of the spot price of the underlying metal on the date of delivery. Contracts where the payment is a fixed amount per unit of metal delivered are subject to an annual inflationary increase, with the exception of Loma de La Plata and Sudbury. Additionally, should the prevailing market price for the applicable metal be lower than this fixed amount, the per unit cash payment will be reduced to the prevailing market price, subject to an annual inflationary factor.

2) Subject to an increase to $9.90 per ounce of silver and $550 per ounce of gold after the initial 40-year term.

3) 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. Currently, the fixed gold to silver exchange ratio is 70:1.

4) The Company is committed to purchase 4.5% of Stillwater palladium production until 375,000 ounces are delivered to the Company, thereafter 2.25% of Stillwater palladium production until 550,000 ounces are delivered to the Company and 1% of Stillwater palladium production thereafter for the life of mine.

5) To be increased to 22% once the market value of metal delivered to Wheaton, net of the per ounce cash payment, exceeds the initial upfront cash deposit.

6) Once the Company has received 31 million pounds of cobalt, the Company’s attributable cobalt production will be reduced to 21.2%.

7) To be increased to 22% once the market value of cobalt delivered to Wheaton, net of the per pound cash payment, exceeds the initial upfront cash deposit. Additionally, on each sale of cobalt, the Company is committed to pay a variable commission depending on the market price of cobalt.

8) Once the Company has received 150,000 ounces of gold and 120,000 ounces of platinum under the Marathon PMPA, the attributable gold and platinum production will be reduced to 67% and 15%, respectively.

9) Wheaton only has the rights to silver contained in concentrate containing less than 15% copper at the Aljustrel mine.

10) The Company is committed to acquire 100% of the first 30,000 ounces of gold produced per annum and 50% thereafter.

11) Effective January 12, 2023, the cash payment per ounce of gold and silver delivered was at 90% of the spot price until February 28, 2023. The parties are currently in discussions in connection with a possible restructuring of the Minto PMPA and as a result, the cash payment per ounce of gold delivered will be maintained at 90% during the negotiation period, with the production payment for silver reverting to the price under the existing Minto PMPA. In the event that the parties are unable to agree to terms for the restructuring, the production payment for gold will remain as set out in the existing Minto PMPA, being 65% of spot price of gold.

12) Copper World Complex (formerly referred to as Rosemont in this MD&A).

18) Once the Company has received 90,000 ounces of gold under the Fenix PMPA, the Company attributable gold production will be reduced to 4% until 140,000 ounces have been delivered, after which the stream drops to 3.5%.

19) Once the Company has received 279,908 ounces of gold under the Blackwater gold PMPA, the attributable gold production will be reduced to 4%. Once the Company has received 17.8 million ounces of silver under the Blackwater silver PMPA, the attributable silver production will be reduced to 33%.

20) Once the Company has received 145,000 ounces of gold under the Curipamba PMPA, the attributable gold production will be reduced to 33%, and once the Company has received 4.6 million ounces of silver, the attributable silver production will be reduced to 50%.

21) The Company is committed to purchase 4.15% of Goose gold production until 130,000 ounces are delivered to the Company, thereafter 2.15% of Goose gold production until 200,000 ounces are delivered to the Company and 1.5% of Goose gold production thereafter for the life of mine.

22) Once 90 million silver equivalent ounces attributable to Wheaton have been produced under the Cotabambas PMPA, the attributable production will decrease to 16.67% of gold production and 66.67% of silver production for the life of mine.

3) As more fully explained on the following page, assuming the Salobo III expansion project results in throughput being expanded beyond 35 Mtpa by January 1, 2024, the Company would expect to pay an expansion payment of $552 million.

Copper World Complex

The Company is committed to pay Hudbay total upfront cash payments of $230 million in two installments, with the first $50 million being advanced upon Hudbay’s receipt of permitting for the Copper World Complex (formerly referred to as Rosemont in this MD&A) and other customary conditions and the balance of $180 million being advanced once project costs incurred on the Copper World Complex exceed $98 million and certain other customary conditions. Under the Copper World Complex PMPA, the Company is permitted to elect to pay the deposit in cash or the delivery of common shares. Additionally, the Company will be entitled to certain delay payments, including where construction ceases in any material respect, or if completion is not achieved within agreed upon timelines. Hudbay and certain affiliates have provided the Company with a corporate guarantee and other security.

As per Hudbay’s press release of May 12, 2022, the Ninth Circuit affirmed the U.S. District Court for Arizona’s previous decision to vacate and remand the Final Record of Decision for the Rosemont deposit within the Copper World Complex in Arizona. This decision does not impact the development of deposits within the Copper World Complex on private lands.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [33]

Loma de La Plata

Under the terms of the Loma de La Plata PMPA, the Company is committed to pay Pan American Silver Corp. (“PAAS”) total upfront cash payments of $32 million following the satisfaction of certain conditions, including PAAS receiving all necessary permits to proceed with the mine construction and the Company finalizing the definitive terms of the PMPA.

Marmato

Under the terms of the Marmato PMPA, the Company is committed to pay Aris Mining total upfront cash payments of $110 million. Of this amount, $34 million was paid on April 15, 2021; $4 million was paid on February 28, 2022; and the remaining amount is payable during the construction of the Marmato Lower Mine development portion of the Marmato mine, subject to customary conditions. Under the amended terms of the Marmato PMPA, the Company is committed to pay Aris Mining additional upfront cash consideration of $65 million, $15 million of which was paid to Aris Mining on April 11, 2022 and the remaining $50 million is payable during the construction and development of the Lower Mine.

Santo Domingo

Under the terms of the Santo Domingo PMPA, the Company is committed to pay Capstone total upfront cash payments of $290 million, $30 million of which was paid on April 21, 2021 and the remaining portion of which is payable during the construction of the Santo Domingo project, subject to customary conditions being satisfied, including Capstone attaining sufficient financing to cover total expected capital expenditures.

Salobo

The Salobo mine historically had a mill throughput capacity of 24 Mtpa. In October 2018, Vale’s Board of Directors approved the investment in the Salobo Expansion, which is proposed to include a third concentrator line and will use Salobo’s existing infrastructure. Vale reports the Salobo Expansion successfully commenced at the end of 2022. The project consists of two lines, which will increase the mill throughput by 50%, the first of which started up in the fourth quarter of 2022 and the second expected to start in the first quarter of 2023.

Subsequent to year end, Wheaton and Vale agreed to amend the Salobo PMPA (“Amended Salobo PMPA”) to adjust the expansion payment terms. If actual throughput is expanded above 32 Mtpa by January 1, 2031, then under the terms of the Amended Salobo PMPA, Wheaton will be required to make additional set payments to Vale based on the size of the expansion and the timing of completion. The set payments range from a total of $283 million if throughput is expanded beyond 32 Mtpa by January 1, 2031, to up to $552 million if throughput is expanded beyond 35 Mtpa by January 1, 2024. In addition, Wheaton will be required to make annual payments of between $5.1 million to $8.5 million for a 10-year period following payment of the expansion payments if the Salobo mine implements a high-grade mine plan.

Fenix

Under the terms of the Fenix PMPA, the Company is committed to pay total cash consideration of $50 million, of which $25 million was paid on March 25, 2022. The remaining $25 million is payable subject to Rio2’s receipt of its Environmental Impact Assessment for the Fenix Project, and certain other conditions.

On June 28, 2022, Rio2 provided an update on the Fenix Gold environmental assessment process. The Environmental Assessment Service (“SEA”) published the Consolidation Evaluation Report with the recommendation to reject the EIA as it has been alleged that Rio2 has not provided enough information during the evaluation process to eliminate adverse impacts over the chinchilla, guanaco, and vicuña. On July 5, 2022, Rio2 announced that the Regional Evaluation Commission has voted to not approve the EIA. On September 7, 2022, Rio2 announced that on review of the Environmental Qualification Resolution (“RCA”), Rio2 identified numerous discrepancies with factual and procedural matters in the RCA and Rio2 has filed an administrative appeal on August 31, 2022. In parallel with the administrative appeal process, Rio2 indicate that they will work closely with regional authorities to address any remaining concerns. On September 7, 2022, Rio2 stated that the estimated timing for obtaining EIA approval is approximately one and a half to two years.

The Company’s management has determined that no indicator of impairment existed as of the balance sheet date and will continue to monitor Rio2’s response to the Regional Evaluation Commission decision.

Blackwater

Under the terms of the Blackwater Silver PMPA, the Company is committed to pay total upfront consideration of $141 million, which is payable in four equal installments during the construction of the Blackwater Project, subject to customary conditions being satisfied.

Marathon

Under the terms of the Marathon PMPA, the Company is committed to pay total upfront cash consideration of $178 million (Cdn$240 million), $16 million (Cdn$20 million) of which was paid on March 31, 2022 and $15 million (Cdn$20 million)

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [34]

was paid on September 7, 2022. The remainder is to be paid in four staged installments during construction, subject to various customary conditions being satisfied.

Curipamba

Under the terms of the Curipamba PMPA, the Company is committed to pay total upfront cash consideration of $175.5 million, $13 million of which is available pre-construction and $500,000 of which will be paid to support certain local community development initiatives around the Curipamba Project. The initial payment of $13 million was paid on December 6, 2022. The remainder will be payable in four staged installments during construction, subject to various customary conditions being satisfied.

Goose

Under the terms of the Goose PMPA, the Company is committed to pay total upfront cash consideration of $125 million in four equal installments during construction of the Goose Project, subject to customary conditions. The initial payment of $31.25 million was paid on September 28, 2022 and the second installment of $31.25 million was paid on December 6, 2022.

Toroparu

Under the terms of the Toroparu Early Deposit Agreement, the Company is committed to pay a subsidiary of Aris Mining, an additional $138 million, payable on an installment basis to partially fund construction of the mine. Aris Mining is to deliver certain feasibility documentation. Prior to the delivery of this feasibility documentation, Wheaton may elect to (i) not proceed with the agreement or (ii) not pay the balance of the upfront consideration and reduce the gold stream percentage from 10% to 0.909% and the silver stream percentage from 50% to nil. If option (i) is chosen, Wheaton will be entitled to a return of the amounts advanced less $2 million. If Wheaton elects option (ii), Aris Mining may elect to terminate the agreement and Wheaton will be entitled to a return of the amount of the deposit already advanced less $2 million.

Cotabambas

Under the terms of the Cotabambas Early Deposit Agreement, the Company is committed to pay Panoro a total cash consideration of $140 million, of which $13 million has been paid to date. Once certain conditions have been met, the Company will advance an additional $1 million to Panoro. Following the delivery of a bankable definitive feasibility study, environmental study and impact assessment, and other related documents (collectively, the “Cotabambas Feasibility Documentation”), and receipt of permits and construction commencing, the Company may then advance the remaining deposit or elect to terminate the Cotabambas Early Deposit Agreement. If the Company elects to terminate, the Company will be entitled to a return of the portion of the amounts advanced less $2 million payable upon certain triggering events occurring.

Kutcho

Under the terms of the Kutcho Early Deposit Agreement, the Company is committed to pay Kutcho a total cash consideration of $65 million, of which $7 million has been paid to date. The remaining $58 million will be advanced on an installment basis to partially fund construction of the mine once certain conditions have been satisfied.

Taxes - Canada Revenue Agency – 2013 to 2016 Taxation Years - Domestic Reassessments¹

The Company received Notices of Reassessment in 2018, 2019, and 2022 for the 2013 to 2016 taxation years in which the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) is seeking to change the timing of the deduction of upfront payments with respect to the Company’s PMPAs relating to Canadian mining assets, so that the cost of precious metal acquired under these Canadian PMPAs is equal to the cash cost paid on delivery plus an amortized amount of the upfront payment determined on a units-of-production basis over the estimated recoverable reserves, and where applicable, resources and exploration potential at the respective mine (the “Domestic Reassessments”).

In total, the Company expects the Domestic Reassessments to have assessed tax, interest and other penalties of approximately $2 million.

Management believes the Company’s position, as reflected in its filed Canadian income tax returns and consistent with the terms of the PMPAs, that the cost of the precious metal acquired under the Canadian PMPAs is equal to the market value while a deposit is outstanding, and the cash cost thereafter, is correct. The Company has filed Notices of Objection and paid 50% of the disputed amounts in order to challenge the Domestic Reassessments.

Tax Contingencies

Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal and tax matters are outstanding from time to time, including audits and disputes.

¹  The assessment by management of the expected impact of the Domestic Reassessments on the Company is “forward-looking information”. Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in the MD&A for material risks, assumptions and important disclosure associated with this information.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [35]

Under the terms of the settlement with the CRA of the transfer pricing dispute relating to the 2005 to 2010 taxation years (the “CRA Settlement”), income earned outside of Canada by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries will not be subject to tax in Canada under transfer pricing rules. The CRA Settlement principles apply to all taxation years after 2010 subject to there being no material change in facts or change in law or jurisprudence. The CRA is not restricted under the terms of the CRA Settlement from issuing reassessments on some basis other than transfer pricing which could result in some or all of the income of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries being subject to tax in Canada.

It is not known or determinable by the Company when the currently ongoing audits by CRA of international and domestic transactions will be completed, or whether reassessments will be issued, or the basis, quantum or timing of any such potential reassessments, and it is therefore not practicable for the Company to estimate the financial effect, if any, of those ongoing audits.

From time to time there may also be proposed legislative changes to law or outstanding legal actions that may have an impact on the current or prior periods, the outcome, applicability and impact of which is also not known or determinable by the Company.

General

By their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events. If the Company is unable to resolve any of these matters favorably, there may be a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial performance, cash flows or results of operations. In the event that the Company’s estimate of the future resolution of any of the foregoing matters changes, the Company will recognize the effects of the change in its consolidated financial statements in the appropriate period relative to when such change occurs.

Share Capital

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company received proceeds of $11 million from the exercise of 493,129 share purchase options at a weighted average exercise price of Cdn$28.76 per option. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company received proceeds of $8 million from the exercise of 398,880 share purchase options at a weighted average exercise price of Cdn$24.96 per option.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company released 87,838 RSUs, as compared to 116,880 RSUs during the comparable period of the previous year.

The Company has implemented a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) whereby shareholders can elect to have dividends reinvested directly into additional Wheaton common shares. During the three months ended December 31, 2022, there were 192,351 common shares issued under the DRIP (twelve months - 873,607). During the three months ended December 31, 2021, there were 254,600 common shares issued under the DRIP (twelve months - 889,798).

As of March 9, 2023, there were 452,318,526 outstanding common shares, 1,477,000 share purchase options and 349,916 restricted share units. The 10,000,000 share purchase warrants expired on February 28, 2023 unexercised.

At the Market Equity Program

The Company has established an at-the-market equity program (the “ATM Program”) that allows the Company to issue up to $300 million worth of common shares from treasury (“Common Shares”) to the public from time to time at the Company’s discretion and subject to regulatory requirements. The ATM Program will be effective until the date that all Common Shares available for issue under the ATM Program have been issued or the ATM Program is terminated prior to such date by the Company or the agents.

Wheaton intends that the net proceeds from the ATM Program, if any, will be available as one potential source of funding for stream acquisitions and/or other general corporate purposes including the repayment of indebtedness. As at December 31, 2022, the Company has not issued any shares under the ATM program.

Financial Instruments

The Company owns equity interests in several companies as long-term investments (see page 10 of this MD&A) and therefore is inherently exposed to various risk factors including currency risk, market price risk and liquidity risk.

In order to mitigate the effect of short-term volatility in gold, silver and palladium prices, the Company will occasionally enter into forward contracts in relation to gold, silver and palladium deliveries that it is highly confident will occur within a given quarter. The Company does not hedge its long-term exposure to commodity prices. The Company has not used derivative financial instruments to manage the risks associated with its operations and therefore, in the normal course of business, it is inherently exposed to currency, interest rate and commodity price fluctuations.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [36]

Risks and Uncertainties

The primary risk factors affecting the Company are set forth below. For discussion of additional risk factors, please refer to the Company’s Annual Information Form, which is available on the Company’s website, www.wheatonpm.com, and on SEDAR, www.sedar.com, or is available upon request from the Company. The “Mining Operations” consist of all of the mineral stream interests currently owned by the Company.

Commodity Prices and Markets: Changes in the market price of commodities that we purchase under our PMPAs and in the commodities markets will affect the our profitability

The price of the common shares and the Company’s financial results may be significantly and adversely affected by a decline in the price of precious metals and cobalt. The price of precious metals and cobalt fluctuates widely, especially in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control, including, but not limited to, the sale or purchase of precious metals by various central banks and financial institutions, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation, fluctuation in the value of the United States dollar and foreign currencies, global and regional supply and demand, and the political and economic conditions of major precious metals and cobalt producing countries throughout the world. The precious metals and cobalt markets tend to be cyclical, and a general downturn could result in a significant decrease in the Company’s revenue. Any such price decline may have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The profitability of Wheaton’s interests under the PMPAs is directly related to the market price of precious metals and cobalt. The Company’s revenue is sensitive to changes in the price of precious metals and cobalt and the overall condition of the precious metal and cobalt mining industry and markets, as it derives all of its revenue from precious metals and cobalt streams. If Wheaton is unable to sell precious metals or cobalt production as a result of a reduction in, or an absence of, demand for precious metals or cobalt, there could be a significant decrease in the Company’s revenue which may have a material adverse effect on the Company or result in the Company not generating positive cash flow or earnings.

In the event that the prevailing market price of precious metals and cobalt is at or below the price at which the Company can purchase such commodities pursuant to the terms of the PMPAs associated with its precious metals and cobalt interests, the Company will not generate positive cash flow or earnings, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Precious metals and cobalt are by-product metals at all of the Mining Operations, other than silver at the Loma de La Plata zone of the Navidad project, gold at the Toroparu project, Marmato mine, Fenix project, Blackwater Project and Goose Project, and palladium at the Stillwater mines, and therefore, the economic cut off applied to the reporting of precious metals and cobalt reserves and resources will be influenced by changes in the commodity prices of other metals at the mines.

Risks Relating to the Mining Operations

To the extent that they relate to the production of precious metals or cobalt from, or the continued operation of, the Mining Operations, the Company will be subject to the risk factors applicable to the operators of such mines or projects, as more fully described in the Company’s Annual Information Form.

No Control Over Mining Operations: The Company has no direct involvement in the operation of the Mining Operations and as a result the activities of third-party operators at these Mining Operations could negatively affect the cash flows generated by the Company

The Company has agreed to purchase a certain percentage of the gold, silver, palladium and/or cobalt produced by the Mining Operations. The Company is not directly involved in the ownership or operation of mines and has no contractual rights relating to the operation of the Mining Operations. The owners and operators will generally have the power to determine the manner in which the relevant properties subject to the asset portfolio are exploited, including decisions to expand, advance, continue, reduce, suspend or discontinue production from a property and decisions about the marketing of products extracted from the property. The interests of the Company and the operators of the relevant properties may not always be aligned. As a result, the cash flows of the Company are dependent upon the activities of third parties, which creates the risk that at any time those third parties may: (i) have business interests or targets that are inconsistent with those of the Company, (ii) take action contrary to the Company’s policies or objectives, (iii) be unable or unwilling to fulfill their obligations under their agreements with the Company, or (iv) experience financial, operational or other difficulties, including insolvency, which could limit or suspend a third-party’s ability to perform its obligations under the PMPAs. At any time, any of the operators of the Mining Operations may decide to suspend or discontinue operations, including if the costs to operate the mine, or observe the obligations of the PMPA, exceed the revenues from operations.

The ability for the operators of the Mining Operations to act in their sole discretion could therefore have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [37]

Except in limited circumstances, the Company will not be entitled to any material compensation if such operations do not meet their forecasted precious metals or cobalt production targets in any specified period or if the operations shut down, suspend or discontinue on a temporary or permanent basis. There can be no assurance that the precious metals or cobalt production from such properties will ultimately meet forecasts or targets. In addition, payments from production generally flow through the operator and there is a risk of delay and additional expense in receiving such revenues. The PMPA payments are calculated by the operators based on reported production and calculations of the Company’s payments are subject to, and dependent upon, the adequacy and accuracy of the operators’ production and accounting functions. Failure to receive payments under the PMPAs to which the Company is entitled may have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, the Company must rely on the accuracy and timeliness of the public disclosure and other information it receives from the owners and operators of the Mining Operations, and uses such information, including production estimates, in its analyses, forecasts and assessments relating to its own business. If the information provided by such third parties to the Company contains material inaccuracies or omissions, the Company’s ability to accurately forecast or achieve its stated objectives may be materially impaired.

Taxes: New or changed tax legislation, or changes to the interpretation of existing tax legislation or jurisprudence, could impact the profitability of the Company

The majority of the Company’s income generating activities is conducted by its 100% owned subsidiary, Wheaton Precious Metals International Ltd., which operates in the Cayman Islands and is not subject to tax.

The introduction of new tax laws, regulations or rules, or changes to, or differing interpretation of, or application of, or court decisions in respect of, existing tax laws, regulations or rules in Canada, the Cayman Islands, Barbados, Luxembourg, the Netherlands or any of the countries in which the Company’s subsidiaries or the Mining Operations are located, or to which deliveries of precious metals, precious metals credits or cobalt are made, could result in an increase in the Company’s taxes, or other governmental charges, duties or impositions.

On December 20, 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) issued model rules for the Pillar Two initiative (“Pillar Two”) which provided a framework for the imposition, by individual countries, of a 15% global minimum tax on the adjusted financial statement income of large multinational companies, such as the Company. On April 7, 2022, as part of the Canadian Federal Budget, the Canadian federal government confirmed its commitment to implementing in 2023 a 15% global minimum tax in line with Pillar Two, which would seek to apply a 15% minimum tax on the Company’s non-Canadian subsidiaries. If legislation is released in a jurisdiction in which the Company operates, then management can fully evaluate the impact to the Company. Nevertheless, while awaiting legislation, the Company continues to evaluate the OECD model rules, guidance and clarifications as published. If such rules are enacted in a jurisdiction in which the Company operates, it could materially increase the amount of taxes the Company owes thereby negatively affecting the results of operations and cash flows from operations.

No assurance can be given that new tax laws, regulations or rules will not be enacted or that existing tax laws, regulations or rules will not be changed, interpreted, applied or decided upon in a manner which could result in the Company’s profits being subject to additional taxation or which could otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company or the price of the Common Shares.

Under the terms of the CRA Settlement, income earned outside of Canada by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries will not be subject to income tax in Canada under transfer pricing rules. The CRA Settlement principles apply to all taxation years after 2010 subject to there being no material change in facts or change in law or jurisprudence.

It is not known or determinable by the Company when any ongoing audits by CRA of international and domestic transactions will be completed, or whether reassessments will be issued, or the basis, quantum or timing of any such potential reassessments, and it is therefore not practicable for the Company to estimate the financial effect, if any, of any ongoing audits.

Counterparty Credit and Liquidity: The inability of the Company’s counterparties to perform their obligations under agreements with the Company or the inability of the Company to meet operating expenditure requirements could adversely impact the Company’s cash flows

The Company is exposed to counterparty risks and liquidity risks including, but not limited to: (i) through the companies with which the Company has PMPAs which may experience financial, operational or other difficulties, including insolvency, which could limit or suspend those companies’ ability to perform their obligations under those PMPAs; (ii) through the companies with which the Company has advanced funds in exchange for convertible notes receivable; (iii) through financial institutions that hold the Company’s cash and cash equivalents; (iv) through companies that have payables to the Company, including concentrate customers; (v) through the Company’s insurance providers; (vi) through companies that owe a refund of the Refundable Deposit under the terms of the respective PMPA; and (vii) through the Company’s lenders. The Company is also exposed to liquidity risks in meeting its operating expenditure requirements in instances where cash positions are unable to be maintained or appropriate financing is unavailable. These factors may impact the ability of the Company to obtain loans and other credit facilities in the future and, if obtained, on terms favourable to the Company. If these risks materialize, the Company’s

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [38]

operations could be adversely impacted and the trading price of the Company’s securities could be adversely affected.

In the event that a counterparty with which the Company has a PMPA were to experience financial, operational or other difficulties (such as Vale in connection with the Brumadinho Incident as discussed on page 40 of this MD&A or a counterparty that is unable to favourably resolve the application of new or existing tax laws, regulations or rules or any tax audits or disputes), then that counterparty may (i) be unable to deliver some or all of the precious metals or cobalt due under the applicable PMPA with that counterparty; (ii) otherwise default in its obligations under that PMPA; (iii) cease operations at one or more mines that are the subject of that PMPA; or (iv) become insolvent. As a result, any of these or other adverse financial or operational consequences on a counterparty may also have a material adverse effect on Wheaton’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, there is no assurance that Wheaton will be successful in enforcing its rights under any security or guarantees provided to Wheaton.

In addition, parties to contracts do not always honour contractual terms and contracts themselves may be subject to interpretation or technical defects. To the extent counterparties with which the Company has PMPAs do not abide by their contractual obligations, the Company would be forced to take legal action to enforce its contractual rights. Such litigation may be time consuming and costly and there is no guarantee of success. Any pending proceedings or actions or any decisions determined adversely may have a material and adverse effect on Wheaton’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

San Dimas - Mexican Tax Dispute

In February 2016, Primero Mining Corp. (“Primero”) announced that its Mexican subsidiary, Primero Empresa Minera S.A. de C.V. (“PEM”), received a legal claim from the Mexican tax authorities, Servicio de Administración Tributaria (“SAT”), seeking to nullify the Advance Pricing Agreement issued by SAT in 2012 (“2012 APA”). The 2012 APA confirmed PEM’s ability to pay taxes in Mexico on the sale of silver on actual prices realized by its Mexican subsidiary in connection with silver sales under the San Dimas SPA for the tax years 2010 through 2014.

As disclosed by First Majestic in their MD&A for the period ended December 31, 2022, in 2019 the SAT issued reassessments for the 2010 to 2012 tax years in the amount of $253.4 million inclusive of interest, inflation, and penalties. In 2021, the SAT also issued a reassessment against PEM for the 2013 tax year in the total amount of $139.7 million. The major items in the reassessments include determination of revenue based on silver spot market prices, denial of the deductibility of interest expense and service fees, SAT technical error related to double counting of taxes, and interest and penalties.

First Majestic indicates in its MD&A for the period ended December 31, 2022, that it continues to defend the APA in the Mexican legal proceedings, and also requested resolution of the transfer price dispute pursuant to the Mutual Agreement Procedure (“MAP”), under the relevant avoidance of double taxation treaties, between the competent tax authorities of Mexico, Canada, Luxembourg and Barbados.

First Majestic also indicates that SAT has frozen a PEM bank account with cumulative funds of $79.1 million, as a guarantee against certain disputed tax assessments, with these balances consisting of VAT refunds that PEM received which were previously withheld by the tax authority.

First Majestic has indicated that it continues to pursue all available domestic and international remedies under the laws of Mexico and under the relevant tax treaties. In September 2020, First Majestic was served with a decision made by the Mexican Federal Tax Court on Administrative Matters (“Federal Court”) to nullify the APA granted to PEM. The Federal Court’s decision directs SAT to re-examine the evidence and basis for the issuance of the APA with retroactive effect, for the following key reasons:

(i) SAT’s errors in analyzing PEM’s request for the APA and the evidence provided in support of the request; and

(ii) SAT’s failure to request from PEM certain additional information before issuing the APA.

First Majestic states that they filed an appeal of the decision to the Mexican Circuit Courts on November 30, 2020. Since two writs of certiorari were filed before the Mexican Supreme Court of Justice, on April 15, 2021, the Plenary of the Supreme Court i) admitted one of those writs, ii) requested the Circuit Court to send the appeal file and iii) assigned such writ to the Second Chamber of the Supreme Court for issuing the corresponding decision. Both writs of certiorari were withdrawn in December 2022. The challenge filed by First Majestic has been returned to the Mexican Circuit Courts and a decision may be issued within the first quarter of 2023.

First Majestic, in addition to challenging the SAT’s actions in the Mexican courts, is also pursuing resolution of its dispute through Mexico’s Federal Taxpayer Defense Attorney’s Office (known as “PRODECON”).

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [39]

On March 2, 2021, First Majestic announced that it has submitted a Request for Arbitration to the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, on its own behalf and on behalf of PEM, based on Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement.

First Majestic indicates that if the SAT is successful in retroactively nullifying the APA and enforcing reassessments, it would likely have a material adverse effect on First Majestic’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. PEM would have rights of appeal in connection with any reassessments. First Majestic states that they continue to believe PEM’s filings were appropriate and continue to believe its tax filing position based upon the APA is correct. However, they note that should PEM ultimately be required to pay tax on its silver revenues based on market prices without any mitigating adjustments, the incremental income tax for the years 2010-2019 would be approximately $257.3 million, before interest or penalties.

To the extent that First Majestic is not able to defend the validity of the 2012 APA or the SAT determines that the appropriate price to tax sales under the former San Dimas SPA or the new San Dimas PMPA is significantly different from the actual realized prices thereunder, it may have an adverse impact on First Majestic’s business, financial condition or results of operations. If the Company was unable to purchase any further gold under the San Dimas PMPA, it may have a material adverse effect on Wheaton’s business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. In addition, should this occur, there is no assurance that Wheaton would be successful in enforcing its rights under the security interest granted by First Majestic or its other remedies under the San Dimas PMPA.

Vale - Brumadinho Incident

On January 25, 2019, Vale’s mining operations in Brumadinho, Minas Gerais, Brazil experienced a significant breach and failure of a retaining dam around the tailings disposal area (the “Brumadinho Incident”). On January 25, 2019, Vale’s mining operations in Brumadinho, Minas Gerais, Brazil experienced a significant breach and failure of a retaining dam around the tailings disposal area (the “Brumadinho Incident”). Vale reported that in December 2021, Vale and Xikrin do Cateté Indigenous community signed an extrajudicial agreement for social and economic compensation to these communities. The agreement with Xikrin do Cateté was ratified by the Court of Marabá and it is in a regular execution with the transfer of funds by Vale (BLR 1.3M/M) and application by the indigenous community. The Xikrin Trincheira Bacajá Indigenous Community presented a request for clarification against the decision that extinguished the action in relation to this community, alleging that the closing of the case disagreed with the legal and procedural provisions applied to the case. The Public Prosecutor’s Office presented a request for clarification to the Court of Marabá regarding the non-analysis of the request for the conviction of Vale and Salobo Metais to execute a “Degraded Area Recovery Program”, since it was a request that was not the subject of the agreement signed between Vale and the Xikrin do Cateté Indigenous Community. Vale awaits to be subpoenaed from the Court of Marabá to present the counterarguments to the requests for clarifications made by the Xikrin Trincheira Bacajá Indigenous Community and the Public Prosecutor, reaffirming the regularity of the agreement entered; the inexistence of impacts from the Salobo mine undertaking on the Xikrin Trincheira Bacajá Indigenous Community and the inexistence of mandatory implementation of the reparation program indicated by the Public Prosecutor due to the non-existence of the alleged damage. In August 2022, the Xikrin Indigenous Community of TI Bacajá filed an appeal against the decision, not agreeing with the terms presented by the judge. Vale is summoned to present its counterarguments, reiterating the terms and theses already presented in the defense. While the Brumadinho Incident did not occur at any mine that is the subject of the Company’s PMPAs, the consequences of the Brumadinho Incident for Vale may have an impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Mine Operator and Counterparty Concentration: If mine operators or counterparties are unwilling or unable to fulfill their obligations to the Company, the Company’s cash flows could be adversely impacted

Precious metals and cobalt purchases under certain of Wheaton’s PMPAs are subject to both mine operator concentration risk and counterparty concentration risk, including as follows:

· The counterparty obligations under the Salobo, Sudbury and Voisey’s Bay PMPAs are guaranteed by the parent company Vale. Total revenues relative to Vale during the year ended December 31, 2022 were 35% of the Company’s total revenue;

· The counterparty obligations under the Antamina PMPA is guaranteed by the parent company Glencore and its subsidiary. Total revenues relative to Glencore during the year ended December 31, 2022 were 14% of the Company’s total revenue (inclusive of revenues from the previously owned Yauliyacu PMPA); and

· The counterparty obligations under the Peñasquito PMPA are guaranteed by the parent company Newmont. Total revenues relative to Newmont during the year ended December 31, 2022 were 16% of the Company’s total revenue.

Should any of these mine operators or counterparties become unable or unwilling to fulfill their obligations under their agreements with Wheaton, or should any of the risk factors identified by Wheaton materialize in respect of the mine operators, counterparties or the Mining Operations, there could be a material adverse effect on Wheaton, including, but not limited to, Wheaton’s revenue, net income and cash flows from operations.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [40]

In particular, total revenues relative to PMPAs with Vale were 35% and 32% of the Company’s total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively; operating cash flows from the PMPAs with Vale represented approximately 39% and 34% of the Company’s operating cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively; and as at December 31, 2022, the PMPAs with Vale proven and probable precious metal and cobalt reserves represented approximately 50% of the Company’s total proven and probable GEO reserves, measured and indicated precious metals and cobalt resources represented approximately 23% of the Company’s GEO measured and indicated precious metals and cobalt resources and inferred precious metals and cobalt resources represented approximately 18% of the Company’s total inferred GEO resources (as described in the Attributable Reserves and Resources section of the Company’s MD&A). If Wheaton was unable to purchase any further precious metals or cobalt under the PMPAs with Vale, Wheaton’s reserves and resources would be significantly reduced and Wheaton’s forecasted gold equivalent production for 2023 and average five year forecasted gold equivalent production for 2023-2027 would be lowered by 38% and 37%, respectively, leading to a corresponding reduction to its revenue, net earnings and cash flows.

Vale – Xikrin Community

Vale has reported that associations representing the indigenous communities of Xikrin do Cateté and Xikrin do Bacajá in Brazil (“Indigenous Associations”) brought a public civil action against Vale, the Federal Environmental Agency (IBAMA) and the Federal Indigenous Agency (FUNAI) seeking the suspension of the environmental permitting process and operation of the Salobo Mine. Vale has reported that the Indigenous Associations contend that FUNAI and IBAMA have failed to conduct the appropriate studies regarding the affected indigenous communities during the environmental permitting process and contends that Vale’s operations would be contaminating the water of the Itacaiúnas River and consequently that the indigenous groups affected by this mine have not provided the required consent. Vale notes that the plaintiffs also requested a monthly payment for each association until the defendants conclude the studies. Vale notes that in July 2019, the Judge of the Federal Court of Maraba partially granted an injunction requested by the Indigenous Associations, ordering Vale and Salobo to prepare the indigenous component study of the Salobo Mine project, and rejected all other requests filed by the plaintiff, including project shutdown. Vale also notes that a subsequent decision of the court determined the inclusion of the Indigenous community of Xikrin do Bacajá in the scope of the studies. Vale has reported that in December 2021 it entered into an extrajudicial agreement with the Indigenous Associations, pursuant to which Vale agreed to provide certain social and economic compensation to these communities. Vale notes that the December 2021 settlement agreement remains subject to approval by the court of Marabá. Once approved by the court, Vale has indicated that this settlement agreement is expected to terminate the Salobo litigation. However, if as a result of these proceedings it is determined that the activities at the Salobo mine should be suspended then, the ability of the Company to receive gold under the terms of the Salobo PMPA would be materially impacted which in turn could have a material impact on the Company’s financial conditions, results of operations and cash flows.

See also Risks Relating to the Company – Counterparty Credit and Liquidity Risk”, “Risks Relating to the Company – Security Over Underlying Assets”, “Risks Relating to the Company – Indebtedness and Guarantees Risk”, “Risks Relating to the Mining Operations – International Operations”, “Risks Relating to the Mining Operations – Exploration, Development, Operating, Expansion and Improvements Risks” and “Risks Relating to the Mining Operations – Land Title and Indigenous Peoples” in the Company’s Annual Information Form.

Indebtedness and Guarantees: If the Company and its subsidiaries are unable to meet debt repayment obligations or covenants, the Company’s business and operations could be adversely impacted

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no debt outstanding under the Revolving Facility. Any future draws on the Revolving Facility will require the Company to use a portion of its cash flow to service principal and interest on the debt, which will limit the cash flow available for other business opportunities. The Company’s ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest on, or to refinance indebtedness depends on its future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond its control (including, in particular, the continued receipt of precious metals and/or cobalt under the terms of the relevant PMPA agreements). If any of these factors beyond its control arose, the Company may not continue to generate cash flow in the future sufficient to service debt and make necessary capital expenditures. If the Company is unable to generate such cash flow, it may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as reducing or eliminating dividends, restructuring debt or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. The Company’s ability to refinance indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and its financial condition at such time. The Company may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on its debt obligations.

The terms of the Revolving Facility require the Company to satisfy various affirmative and negative covenants and to meet certain financial ratios and tests. These covenants limit, among other things, the Company’s ability to incur further indebtedness if doing so would cause it to fail to meet certain financial covenants, create certain liens on assets or engage in certain types of transactions. The Company can provide no assurances that in the future, it will not be limited in its ability to respond to changes in its business or competitive activities or be restricted in its ability to engage in mergers, acquisitions or dispositions of assets. Furthermore, due to factors beyond its control (for example, due to an event of force majeure or other disruption at operations, the Company does not receive sufficient precious

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [41]

metals or cobalt from its counterparties in accordance with the terms of the PMPAs), the Company may fail to comply with these covenants, including a failure to meet the financial tests or ratios, and any subsequent failure by the Company’s subsidiaries to comply with guarantee obligations, would likely result in an event of default under the Revolving Facility and would allow the lenders to accelerate the debt, which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations and its ability to meet its payment obligations under debt, and the price of the common shares.

In addition, each subsidiary of the Company has guaranteed the obligations of the Company under the Revolving Facility. See “Description of the Business – Operations – Amended Revolving Credit Facility” in the Annual Information Form for further details. While the Revolving Facility is unsecured, as guarantors, any or all of Wheaton’s subsidiaries can be called upon by lenders for the repayment of the obligations under the Revolving Facility if Wheaton were to default.

Hedging: The Company’s hedging policy may not reduce the risks associated with foreign exchange, interest rate or commodity fluctuations, which could adversely impact the Company’s cash flows

The Company has a policy that permits hedging its foreign exchange and interest rate exposures to reduce the risks associated with currency and interest rate fluctuations. The Company also has adopted a policy to allow the forward sale of forecast precious metals deliveries provided that such sales shall not extend beyond the end of a financial quarter of the Company.

Hedging involves certain inherent risks including: (a) credit risk - the risk that the creditworthiness of a counterparty may adversely affect its ability to perform its payment and other obligations under its agreement with the Company or adversely affect the financial and other terms the counterparty is able to offer the Company; (b) market liquidity risk – the risk that the Company has entered into a hedging position that cannot be closed out quickly, by either liquidating such hedging instrument or by establishing an offsetting position; and (c) unrealized fair value adjustment risk – the risk that, in respect of certain hedging products, an adverse change in market prices for commodities, currencies or interest rates will result in the Company incurring losses in respect of such hedging products as a result of the hedging products being out-of-the money on their settlement dates.

There is no assurance that a hedging program designed to reduce the risks associated with foreign exchange/currency, interest rate or commodity fluctuations will be successful. Although hedging may protect the Company from adverse changes in foreign exchange/currency, interest rate or commodity fluctuations, it may also prevent the Company from fully benefitting from positive changes.

Competition: The competition for PMPAs and similar transactions could adversely impact the Company’s ability to acquire desirable PMPAs

The Company competes with other companies for PMPAs and similar transactions. Some of these companies may possess greater financial and technical resources than the Company. Such competition may result in the Company being unable to enter into desirable PMPAs or similar transactions, to recruit or retain qualified employees or to acquire the capital necessary to fund its PMPAs. As a result, existing or future competition for PMPAs and similar transactions could materially adversely affect the Company’s prospects for entering into additional PMPAs in the future. In addition, competition from companies with substantial resources could impact the Company’s ability to acquire PMPAs and similar transactions at acceptable valuations, which could adversely impact the Company’s cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.

Litigation Claims and Proceedings: Litigation against the Company may result in the diversion of management and resources and substantial costs to the Company, impacting the Company’s financial position

The Company is from time to time involved in various claims, legal proceedings and disputes arising in the ordinary course of business. If the Company is unable to resolve these disputes favorably, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company was previously the subject of litigation in securities class action complaints in the United States and in Canada. See “Description of the Business – Litigation” in the Annual Information Form.

Securities litigation, including current proceedings against the Company as well as potential future proceedings, could result in substantial costs and damages and divert the Company’s management’s attention and resources. Any decision resulting from any such litigation that is adverse to the Company could have a negative impact on the Company’s financial position.

Security Over Underlying Assets: The Company’s security interests in its PMPAs may not be enforceable which may have a material adverse effect on the Company

There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to effectively enforce any guarantees, indemnities or other security interests it may have. Should a bankruptcy or other similar event related to a mining operator occur that precludes a party from performing its obligations under the PMPA, the Company would have to consider enforcing its security interest. In the event that the mining operator has insufficient assets to pay its liabilities, it is possible that other liabilities will be satisfied prior to the liabilities owed to the Company. In addition, bankruptcy or other similar

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [42]

proceedings are often a complex and lengthy process, the outcome of which may be uncertain and could result in a material adverse effect on the Company.

In addition, because many of the Mining Operations are owned and operated by foreign affiliates, the Company’s security interests may be subject to enforcement and insolvency laws of foreign jurisdictions that differ significantly from those in North America, and the Company’s security interests may not be enforceable as anticipated. Further, there can be no assurance that any judgments obtained in Canadian courts will be enforceable in any of those jurisdictions outside of Canada. If the Company is unable to enforce its security interests, there may be a material adverse effect on the Company.

Acquisition Strategy: The Company’s acquisition strategy for PMPAs may not be successful, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company

As part of the Company’s business strategy, it has sought and will continue to seek new exploration, development and mining opportunities in the resource industry. In pursuit of such opportunities, the Company may fail to select appropriate acquisition candidates or negotiate acceptable arrangements, including arrangements to finance acquisitions or integrate the acquired businesses and their personnel into the Company. The Company cannot assure that it can complete any acquisition or business arrangement that it pursues, or is pursuing, on favourable terms, or that any acquisitions or business arrangements completed will ultimately benefit the Company.

In the event that the Company chooses to raise debt capital to finance any acquisition, the Company’s leverage will be increased. In addition, if the Company chooses to complete an equity financing to finance any acquisition, shareholders may suffer dilution.

In addition, the introduction of new tax laws or regulations or accounting rules or policies or rating agency policies, or changes to, or differing interpretations of, or application of, existing tax laws or regulations or accounting rules or policies or rating agency policies, could make PMPAs less attractive to counterparties. Such changes could adversely affect the Company’s ability to enter into new PMPAs and could have a negative impact on the Company’s financial position.

As part of the Company’s portfolio optimization, the Company may consider opportunities to restructure or dispose of PMPAs where it believes such a restructuring or disposition may provide a long-term benefit to the Company, even if such restructuring or disposition may reduce near-term operating revenues, reduced mineral reserves and/or mineral resources or result in the Company incurring transaction related costs. In connection with a restructuring or disposition, the Company may receive different forms of consideration, including long-term equity investments in other companies.

The Company may enter into one or more acquisitions, restructurings, dispositions or other streaming transactions at any time.

Impact of Epidemics: The COVID-19 pandemic and similar public health emergencies may significantly adversely impact Mining Operations and the Company

All of Wheaton’s PMPAs are subject to the risk of emerging infectious diseases or the threat of outbreaks of viruses or other contagions or epidemic diseases through the Mining Operations, including the COVID-19 virus pandemic that commenced in early 2020. These infectious disease risks may not be adequately responded to locally, nationally, regionally or internationally due to lack of preparedness to detect and respond to outbreaks or respond to significant pandemic threats. In addition, a government may impose strict emergency measures in response to the threat or existence of an infectious disease, such as the emergency measures imposed by governments of many countries in response to the COVID-19 virus pandemic. As such, there are potentially significant economic and social impacts of infectious disease risks, including the inability of Mining Operations to operate as intended, shortage of skilled employees or labour unrest, delays or shortages in supply chains, inability of employees to access sufficient healthcare, significant social upheavals or unrest, government or regulatory actions or inactions (including but not limited to, changes in taxation or policies, or delays in permitting or approvals), decreased demand or the inability to sell precious metals or cobalt or declines in the price of precious metals and cobalt, capital markets volatility, availability of credit, loss of investor confidence or other unknown but potentially significant impacts. Given the global nature of Mining Operations, there are potentially significant economic losses from infectious disease outbreaks that can extend far beyond the initial location of an infection disease outbreak. As such, both global outbreaks, such as the COVID-19 virus pandemic, as well as regional and local outbreaks can have a significant impact on Wheaton’s PMPAs and the related Mining Operations. Wheaton may not be able to accurately predict

which Mining Operations will be subject to infectious disease risks or the quantum of such risks. In addition, Wheaton’s own operations are exposed to infectious disease risks noted above and as such Wheaton’s operations may be adversely affected by such infectious disease risks. Accordingly, any outbreak or threat of an outbreak of a virus or other contagions or epidemic disease could have a material adverse effect on Wheaton, its business, results from operations and financial conditions directly or due to a counterparty (i) being unable to deliver some or all of the precious metals or cobalt due under the applicable PMPA with that counterparty; (ii) otherwise defaulting in its obligations under that PMPA; (iii) ceasing operations at one or more mines that are the subject of that PMPA; or (iv) becoming insolvent.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [43]

As a result, any of these or other adverse financial or operational consequences on a counterparty may also have a material adverse effect on Wheaton’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

As at the date of this MD&A, all of the Company’s partners’ operations are currently running, though we are closely monitoring and still regularly assessing the impact of the COVID-19 virus pandemic on the Mining Operations and our own operations. However, this pandemic is evolving rapidly and its effects on the Mining Operations and our own operations are uncertain. It is possible that in the future operations at the Mining Operations may be temporarily shut down or suspended for indeterminate amounts of time, any of which may, individually or in the aggregate, have a material and adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, the impact of the COVID-19 virus pandemic on economies and the prospects of economic growth globally may lead to decreased demands for commodities, including precious metals or cobalt, which may have a material and adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

There can be no assurance that our partners’ operations that are operational as of the date of this MD&A will continue to remain operational should there be a resurgence in the COVID-19 virus pandemic. In addition, even if operational, these operations may be subject to adverse impacts on production and other impacts due to the COVID-19 virus pandemic response measures, absenteeism and otherwise as a result of the pandemic and any of these impacts may be material with respect to those operations, as well as our business and financial results.

To the extent that the COVID-19 virus pandemic adversely affects the Company’ business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this MD&A and in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Information Form, including, but not limited to, risks relating to the Company such as risks related to commodity prices and markets, commodity price fluctuations, equity price risk associated with the Company’s equity investments, credit and liquidity of counterparties to our PMPAs, mine operator concentration, our indebtedness and guarantees, our ability to raise additional capital, our ability to enforce security interests, information systems and cyber security and risks relating to the Mining Operations such as risks related to mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates, production forecasts, impacts of governmental regulations, international operations, availability of infrastructure and employees and challenging global financial conditions.

Market Price of the Common Shares: The trading price of the Common Shares fluctuates and is often unrelated to the operating performance of the Company

The Common Shares are listed and posted for trading on the TSX, NYSE and on the LSE. An investment in the Company’s securities is highly speculative and the price of the Common Shares has fluctuated significantly in the past. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the trading price of the Common Shares has fluctuated as follows:

Exchange	Low	High
TSX	C$39.11	C$64.70
NYSE	$29.08	$51.71
LSE	£25.40	£39.95

The market price of the Company’s common shares may increase or decrease in response to a number of events and factors, including any future offerings of the Common Shares pursuant to the ATM Program, any offering or otherwise, and other factors set out in the Company’s Annual Information Form and the factors listed under the heading “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

In addition, the global stock markets and prices for streaming and mining company shares have experienced volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance or prospects of such companies. These market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common shares, regardless of the Company’s operating performance. The variables which are not directly related to the Company’s success and are, therefore, not within the Company’s control, include other developments that affect the market for streaming and mining company shares, macroeconomic developments globally, the breadth of the public market for the Company’s common shares and the attractiveness of alternative investments and particular industries. The effect of these and other factors on the market price of the Company’s common shares on the exchanges on which they trade has historically made the Company’s common share price volatile and suggests that the Company’s common share price will continue to be volatile in the future.

It is not uncommon for securities class actions to be brought against publicly listed companies following periods of volatility or significant decline in the market price of their securities. The Company was previously the subject of litigation in securities class action complaints in the United States and in Canada. See “Description of the Business – Litigation” in the Annual Information Form.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [44]

Multiple Listings: Multiple Listings of the Common Shares on the LSE, the TSX and the NYSE may lead to an inefficient market for the Common Shares

Multiple listings of the Common Shares will result in differences in liquidity, settlement and clearing systems, trading currencies, prices and transaction costs between the exchanges where the Common Shares will be quoted. These and other factors may hinder the transferability of the Common Shares between the three exchanges. The Common Shares are quoted on the TSX, the NYSE and the LSE. Consequently, the trading in and liquidity of the Common Shares will be split between these three exchanges. The price of the Common Shares may fluctuate and may at any time be different on the TSX, the NYSE and the LSE. This could adversely affect the trading of the Common Shares on these exchanges and increase their price volatility and/or adversely affect the price and liquidity of the Common Shares on these exchanges. The Common Shares are quoted and traded in Canadian Dollars on the TSX, and in US Dollars on the NYSE. The Common Shares are quoted and traded in pence sterling on the LSE. The market price of the Common Shares on those exchanges may also differ due to exchange rate fluctuations.

Trading: The Common Shares may be suspended from trading which will limit shareholders ability to dispose of Common Shares

Each of the TSX, NYSE and LSE has the right to suspend trading in certain circumstances. If the Common Shares are suspended from trading, the holders of Common Shares may not be able to dispose of their Common Shares on the LSE, the TSX or the NYSE (as the case may be).

TSX: The objective of the TSX’s policies regarding continued listing privileges is to facilitate the maintenance of an orderly and effective auction market for securities of a wide variety of listed issuers, in which there is a substantial public interest, and that comply with the requirements of the TSX. The policies are designed and administered in a manner consistent with that objective. The TSX has adopted certain quantitative and qualitative criteria under which it will normally consider the suspension from trading and delisting of securities. However, no set of criteria can effectively anticipate the unique circumstances which may arise in any given situation. Accordingly, each situation is considered individually on the basis of relevant facts and circumstances. As such, whether or not any of the delisting criteria has become applicable to a listed issuer or security, the TSX may, at any time, suspend from trading and delist securities if in the opinion of the TSX, such action is consistent with the objective noted above or further dealings in the securities on the TSX may be prejudicial to the public interest. In addition, the TSX may at any time suspend from trading the Common Shares if it is satisfied that the Company has failed to comply with any of the provisions of its listing agreement with the TSX or other agreements with the TSX, or with any TSX requirement or policy.

NYSE: The NYSE may suspend trading in, and commence proceedings to delist, the Common Shares from time to time if it determines that Wheaton or the Common Shares fail to satisfy the applicable quantitative or qualitative continued listing criteria under the NYSE listing standards. Such continued quantitative listing criteria include, but are not limited to, a minimum number of stockholders, a minimum average closing price over a consecutive 30 trading-day period, and a minimum average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. Such continued qualitative listing criteria include, but are not limited to, the satisfaction of certain requirements of the NYSE Governance Rules such as the maintenance of an audit committee satisfying certain criteria including with respect to independence and the continued timely filing of periodic reports with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The NYSE may also suspend trading in, and commence proceedings to delist, the securities of an issuer if the issuer or its management engage in operations that are in the opinion of the NYSE contrary to the public interest. Typically, if an issuer or its NYSE-listed securities fall below the NYSE’s quantitative or qualitative listing criteria, the NYSE reviews the appropriateness of continued listing and may give consideration to any definitive action proposed by the issuer, pursuant to procedures and timelines set forth in the NYSE listing standards, that would bring the issuer or such securities above the applicable continued listing standards. However, in certain cases, the failure of the issuer or its listed securities to meet certain continued listing criteria may result in immediate suspension and delisting by the NYSE without such evaluation or follow-up procedures.

LSE: The FCA may suspend the Common Shares from trading on the LSE from time to time if it determines that the smooth operation of the market is or may be temporarily jeopardized or it is necessary to protect investors.

ATM Program: The Company may not raise the anticipated proceeds from the ATM Program and may not use any proceeds effectively

There is no certainty that gross proceeds of $300 million (or the equivalent in Canadian dollars determined using the daily exchange rate posted by the Bank of Canada on the date the ATM Common Shares are sold) will be raised pursuant to the ATM Program. The ATM Program agents have agreed to use their commercially reasonable efforts to sell, on the Company’s behalf, the ATM Common Shares designated by the Company, but the Company is not required to request the sale of the maximum amount offered or any amount and, if the Company requests a sale, the ATM Program agents are not obligated to purchase any ATM Common Shares that are not sold. As a result of the ATM Program being made on a commercially reasonable efforts basis with no minimum, and only as requested by the Company, the Company may raise substantially less than the maximum total offering amount or nothing at all.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [45]

Management of the Company will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from the ATM Program if any and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve the Company’s results of operations or enhance the value of the Common Shares. The failure by management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and cause the price of the Common Shares to decline. Pending their use, the Company may invest the net proceeds from the ATM Program in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.

Long-Term Equity Investments: The Company’s long-term equity investments are exposed to equity price risk as well as the risks in each investee Company, and the Company may lose the value of such investments

The Company is exposed to equity price risk as a result of holding long-term equity investments in other companies including, but not limited to, exploration and mining companies. Just as investing in the Company is inherent with risks such as those set out in this MD&A, by investing in these other companies, the Company is exposed to the risks associated with owning equity securities and those risks inherent in the investee companies, including the loss of the full value of these investments. The Company generally does not actively trade these investments. See “Description of the Business – Long Term Investments” in the Annual Information Form.

Interest Rates: Fluctuations in interest rates applicable to the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its outstanding borrowings and short-term investments. Presently, the Company has no outstanding borrowings, and historically all borrowings have been at floating interest rates. The Company monitors its exposure to interest rates and has not entered into any derivative contracts to manage this risk. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the weighted average effective interest rate paid by the Company on its outstanding borrowings was Nil (2021 – 1.17%).

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, a fluctuation in interest rates of 100 basis points (1 percent) would have impacted the amount of interest expensed by approximately $Nil and $0.2 million, respectively. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2022, central banks in Canada and the United States increased borrowing rates by over 400 basis points, and such rates may be held for an extended period of time and increase further. Depending upon the amount of the Company’s outstanding borrowings, fluctuations in the interest rates applicable to the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Dividend Policy: The Company’s ability to pay dividends is dependent on the Company’s financial condition

The declaration, timing, amount and payment of dividends are at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon the Company’s future earnings, cash flows, acquisition capital requirements and financial condition, and other relevant factors. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to declare a dividend on a quarterly, annual or other basis.

Key Personnel: The Company may experience difficulty in recruiting and retaining qualified personnel and we are dependent upon our personnel being able to perform their jobs in a safe and healthy work environment, free from discrimination

The Company and its subsidiaries have an aggregate of 42 employees and are therefore dependent upon the services of a small number of employees. The Company is also dependent on the services of a small number of key executives and other key employees who are highly skilled and experienced. If Wheaton loses key executives or other key employees or Wheaton fails to develop adequate succession plans, or if Wheaton fails to attract, hire, retain and develop qualified employees, including executives, it could impact its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Wheaton is committed to creating and maintaining a work environment in which each employee, officer and director is treated with professional courtesy, dignity and respect in a fair and non-discriminatory manner. Wheaton is also committed to supporting and respecting human rights in its operations. However, Wheaton’s policies and procedures may not prevent or detect all potential harmful workplace situations. If Wheaton is unable to maintain a respectful and non-discriminatory workplace, it could impact the Company’s ability to attract and retain skilled employees, including executives.

Wheaton’s operations are dependent upon its workforce being able to safely perform their jobs. If Wheaton’s employees are unable to perform their jobs for any reason (including due to physical or psychological illness or injuries related to an unsafe or unhealthy workplace), it may adversely impact employee engagement, performance and productivity, result in legal or human rights claims, or damage Wheaton’s reputation. This could impact Wheaton’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or the trading price of the Company’s securities.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [46]

Activist Shareholders: Campaigns by activist shareholders could adversely impact the Company’s business and operations

Publicly-traded companies are often subject to demands or publicity campaigns from activist shareholders advocating for changes to corporate governance practices, such as executive compensation practices, environmental, social and governance issues, or for certain corporate actions or reorganizations. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be subject to any such campaign, including proxy contests, media campaigns or other activities. Responding to challenges from activist shareholders can be costly and time consuming and may have an adverse effect on the Company’s reputation. In addition, responding to such campaigns would likely divert the attention and resources of the Company’s management and Board of Directors, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations. Even if the Company were to undertake changes or actions in response to activism, activist shareholders may continue to promote or attempt to effect further changes, and may attempt to acquire control of the Company. If shareholder activists are ultimately elected to the Board of Directors, this could adversely affect the Company’s business and future operations. This type of activism can also create uncertainty about the Company’s future strategic direction, resulting in loss of future business opportunities, which could adversely affect the Company’s business, future operations, profitability and the Company’s ability to attract and retain qualified personnel.

Climate Change: The Company’s operations may be adversely affected by physical risks related to climate change, including acute weather events

Wheaton’s own operations are exposed to acute and chronic physical climate-related risks as a result of geographical location. Wheaton has sought to reduce its environmental footprint and located its operations in appropriate facilities, however acute weather events such as higher intensity storms, flooding and fire as well as chronic weather and physical conditions such as rising temperatures and changes in precipitation patterns may disrupt operations. Acute weather events may result in extended loss of power, global supply route disruption and reduced worker productivity related to safety protocols at our operations and worker transportation to our operations. Wheaton has developed and implemented a business continuity plan in the event of an acute weather event, however this plan may not fully mitigate the risks associated with such acute weather event, and Wheaton’s operations may be impacted (including the ability of its employees to travel to the Mining Operations) or have to be relocated, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations.

To the extent that climate change adversely affects Wheaton’s business and financial position, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risk factors for the Company, including, but not limited to, risks related to commodity prices and markets, counterparty credit and liquidity risk, mine operator and counterparty concentration, Wheaton’s indebtedness and guarantees, competition, litigation claims and proceedings, Wheaton’s ability to enforce security interests, acquisition strategy, market price of Common Shares, equity price risk associated with the Company’s equity investments, interest rate risk, dividends, industry analysts, reputational damage and risks relating to the Mining Operations such as risks related to mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates, production forecasts, impacts of governmental regulations, international operations and availability of infrastructure and employees.

In addition, the Company’s Mining Operations are subject to climate change risk factors, as more fully described in the Company’s Annual Information Form.

Climate Change: The Company’s operations are subject to risks related to transitioning to a low-carbon economy

Both climate change and the anticipated transition to a low-carbon economy are expected to impact Wheaton.

Governments are moving to introduce and implement new and more stringent climate change legislation with respect to disclosure. While some of the costs associated with reducing emissions can be offset by increased energy efficiency and technological innovation, Wheaton expects that continued efforts to address climate change, including complying with enhanced regulatory requirements, may result in increased costs for Wheaton.

Investors are increasingly seeking enhanced disclosure on the risks, challenges, governance implications and financial impacts of climate change faced by companies. If Wheaton is unable to respond to such disclosure requirements, or meet the expectations of investors and other stakeholders, it could have a material adverse effect on Wheaton’s ability to access, and the costs of accessing, debt and equity markets for capital required for its operations.

Shifts in demand and supply of commodities, products and services as a result of evolving consumer and investor sentiments will create challenging market conditions. Changes in consumer demand for metals and minerals that are required in a low-carbon economy or increases or decreases in commodity prices and markets may also impact the Company’s ability acquire accretive PMPAs or to sell precious metals or cobalt that it acquires. There may be increased competition for PMPAs on Mining Operations that are considered to be low carbon emitting or less subject to climate-related physical risks, which may impact the Company’s ability to enter into desirable PMPAs or similar transactions or to acquire the capital necessary to fund its PMPAs. These impacts could have a material adverse

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [47]

effect on the Company’s business and financial position, the Company’s reputation and the trading price of the Company’s securities. In addition, market perceptions of the mining sector and the role of particular metals or minerals in a transition to a low-carbon economy remain uncertain. There could be a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial position, the Company’s reputation and the trading price of the Company’s securities where there is significant negative market perception of the mining sector.

In connection with Wheaton’s ESG strategy, Wheaton has adopted the Climate Change and Environmental Commitments. These Climate Change and Environmental Commitments may not be achievable or may not be achieved partially or at all, by Wheaton. Should the Commitments not be achieved, it could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial position, the Company’s reputation and the trading price of the Company’s securities. In addition, the Revolving Facility interest rate paid on drawn amounts and standby fees will be adjusted based upon the Company’s performance in three sustainability-related areas, including in respect of the Company’s attributable emissions from Mining Operations covered by science-based emissions targets. As such, a failure to meet our Climate Change and Environmental Commitments can result in increased costs for Wheaton and impact our results of operations.

Further, as there is currently no defined methodology for calculating financed emissions for metals streaming and royalty companies, Wheaton has developed its own methodology, using an attribution factor based on Wheaton’s attributable production relative to the overall production of the Mining Operations in a given year. This methodology relies upon the calculations and estimates of emissions by the Mining Operations, which is necessarily imprecise because it depends upon the judgment of the individuals who operate the Mining Operations as well as those who review and assess the emissions information. As a result, no assurance can be given that the calculated financed emissions are fully accurate.

If Wheaton does not respond quickly enough to meet accepted climate change reduction targets, Wheaton may be subject to increased risks of climate litigation. Climate-related impact litigation has been advanced in Canada, the United States and Europe, and may be broadened if there are failures to meet long-term reduction targets. Adverse publicity or climate-related litigation could result in significant costs, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial position, the Company’s reputation and the trading price of the Company’s securities.

Reputation Damage: Reputational loss could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and operations

Reputational damage can be the result of the actual or perceived occurrence of any number of events, and could include any negative publicity, whether true or not. While the Company does not ultimately have direct control over how it is perceived by others, reputational loss could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial performance, financial condition, cash flows, growth prospects and the trading price of the Company’s securities.

Industry Analysts: The Company’s trading price and volume may be negatively impacted by the views expressed by industry analysts

Both the market price and trading price of the Common Shares may depend on the opinions of the securities analysts who monitor the operations of the Company and publish research reports on the Company’s future performance. The Company does not have control over such analysts, who may downgrade their recommended prices for the Common Shares at any time, issue opinion which are not in line with the Board of Director’s view or not even cover the Company in their publications and reports. Such actions by analysts could have an adverse impact on the trading price and volume of the Common Shares.

Defects and Impairments: A defect or impairment in a PMPA may defeat or impair the claim of the Company which may have a material adverse effect on the Company

A defect in a streaming transaction and/or a PMPA may arise to defeat or impair the claim of the Company to such streaming transaction, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company. It is possible that material changes could occur that may adversely affect management’s estimate of the recoverable amount for any PMPA. Any impairment estimates, which are based on applicable key assumptions and sensitivity analysis, are based on management’s best knowledge of the amounts, events or actions at such time, and the actual future outcomes may differ from any estimates that are provided by the Company. Any impairment charges on the Company’s carrying value of the PMPAs could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Information Systems and Cyber Security: Compromises or breaches of the Company’s data or information systems could result in material losses to the Company

Wheaton’s information systems, and those of its counterparties under the PMPAs, third-party service providers and vendors, are vulnerable to an increasing threat of continually evolving information systems and cyber security risks. Unauthorized parties may attempt to gain access to these systems or the Company’s information through fraud or other means of deceiving the Company’s counterparties under its PMPAs, third-party service providers or vendors.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [48]

Wheaton’s operations depend, in part, on how well Wheaton and its suppliers, as well as counterparties under the PMPAs, protect networks, equipment, information technology (“IT”) systems and software against damage from a number of threats. Wheaton has entered into agreements with third parties for hardware, software, telecommunications and other services in connection with its operations. The Company’s operations and Mining Operations also depend on the timely maintenance, upgrade and replacement of networks, equipment, IT systems, applications and software, as well as pre-emptive expenses to mitigate the risks of failures. Any of these and other events could result in information system failures, delays and/or increases in capital and remediation expenditures. The failure of information systems or a component of information systems could, depending on the nature of any such failure, adversely impact the Company’s reputation and results of operations.

Although to date the Company has not experienced any known material losses relating to cyber-attacks or other data / information security breaches, there can be no assurance that Wheaton will not incur such losses in the future. The Company’s risk and exposure to these matters cannot be fully mitigated because of, among other things, the evolving nature of these threats. As a result, cyber security and the continued development and enhancement of controls, processes and practices designed to protect systems, computers, software, data and networks from attack, damage or unauthorized access remain a priority.

Any future significant compromise or breach of the Company’s data / information security, whether external or internal, or misuse of data or information, could result in additional significant costs, lost sales, fines and lawsuits, unauthorized transactions, inappropriate disclosures, and damage to the Company’s reputation. In addition, as the regulatory environment related to data / information security, data collection and use, and privacy becomes increasingly rigorous, with new and constantly changing requirements applicable to Wheaton’s business and counterparties to the PMPAs, compliance with those requirements could also result in additional costs. As cyber threats continue to evolve, the Company or its counterparties may be required to expend additional resources to continue to modify or enhance protective measures or to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the balance sheet date, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. The following discussion provides details of the critical accounting estimates made in preparing the financial statements. For additional information, Note 3 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements describes all of the significant accounting policies while Note 4 describes the significant areas of estimation uncertainty and judgments made by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Mineral Stream Interests

Attributable Reserve, Resource and Exploration Potential Estimates

Mineral stream interests are significant assets of the Company, with a carrying value of $5.8 billion at December 31, 2022, inclusive of early deposit agreements. This amount represents the capitalized expenditures related to the acquisition of the mineral stream interests, net of accumulated depletion and accumulated impairment charges, if any. The Company estimates the reserves, resources and exploration potential relating to each agreement. Reserves are estimates of the amount of metals contained in ore that can be economically and legally extracted from the mining properties in respect of which the Company has PMPAs. Resources are estimates of the amount of metals contained in mineralized material for which there is a reasonable prospect for economic extraction from the mining properties in respect of which the Company has PMPAs. Exploration potential represents an estimate of additional reserves and resources which may be discovered through the mine operator’s exploration program. The Company adjusts its estimates of reserves, resources (where applicable) and exploration potential (where applicable) to reflect the Company’s percentage entitlement to metals produced from such mines. The Company compiles its estimates of its reserves and resources based on information supplied by appropriately qualified persons relating to the geological data on the size, density and grade of the ore body, and require complex geological and geostatistical judgments to interpret the data. The estimation of recoverable reserves and resources is based upon factors such as estimates of foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital requirements, and production costs along with geological assumptions and judgments made in estimating the size and grade of the ore body. The Company estimates exploration potential based on assumptions surrounding the ore body continuity which requires judgment as to future success of any exploration programs undertaken by the mine operator. Changes in the reserve estimates, resource estimates or exploration potential estimates may impact upon the carrying value of the Company’s mineral stream interests and depletion charges.

Depletion

As described above, the cost of these mineral stream interests are separately allocated to reserves, resources and exploration potential. The value allocated to reserves is classified as depletable and is depleted on a unit-of-production basis over the estimated recoverable proven and probable reserves at the mine corresponding to the specific agreement. The value associated with resources and exploration potential is the value beyond proven and probable reserves at acquisition and is classified as non-depletable until such time as it is transferred to the depletable category

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [49]

as a result of the conversion of resources and/or exploration potential into reserves. To make this allocation, the Company estimates the recoverable reserves, resources and exploration potential at each mining operation. These calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions, including the amount of contained metals, recovery rates and payable rates. Changes to these assumptions may impact the estimated recoverable reserves, resources or exploration potential which could directly impact the depletion rates used. Changes to depletion rates are accounted for prospectively.

Impairment of Assets

The Company assesses each PMPA at the end of every reporting period to determine whether any indication of impairment or impairment reversal exists. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the PMPA is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment or impairment reversal (if any). The calculation of the recoverable amount requires the use of estimates and assumptions such as long-term commodity prices, discount rates, recoverable ounces of attributable metals, and operating performance. Please refer to page 25 of this MD&A for details of the indicators of impairment (impairment reversal) during the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The price of precious metals and cobalt has been volatile over the past several years. The Company monitors spot and forward metal prices and if necessary re-evaluates the long-term metal price assumptions used for impairment testing. Should price levels decline or increase in the future, either for an extended period of time or due to known macro economic changes, the Company may need to re-evaluate the long-term metal price assumptions used for impairment testing. A significant decrease in long-term metal price assumptions may be an indication of potential impairment, while a significant increase in long-term metal price assumptions may be an indication of potential impairment reversal. In addition, the Company also monitors the resource and reserve levels and operational developments at the counterparties for indications of impairment and impairment reversal. Should the Company conclude that it has an indication of impairment or impairment reversal at any balance sheet date, the Company is required to perform an impairment assessment.

Valuation of Stock Based Compensation

The Company has various forms of stock based compensation, including share purchase options, restricted share units (“RSUs”) and performance share units (“PSUs”). The calculation of the fair value of share purchase options, RSUs and PSUs issued requires the use of estimates as more fully described below.

The Company recognizes a stock based compensation expense for all share purchase options and RSUs awarded to employees, officers and directors based on the fair values of the share purchase options and RSUs at the date of grant. The fair values of share purchase options and RSUs at the date of grant are expensed over the vesting periods of the share purchase options and RSUs, respectively, with a corresponding increase to equity. The fair value of share purchase options is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with market related inputs as of the date of grant. Share purchase options with graded vesting schedules are accounted for as separate grants with different vesting periods and fair values. The fair value of RSUs is the market value of the underlying shares at the date of grant. At the end of each reporting period, the Company re-assesses its estimates of the number of awards that are expected to vest and recognizes the impact of any revisions to this estimate in the consolidated statement of earnings.

The Company recognizes a stock based compensation expense for PSUs which are awarded to eligible employees and are settled in cash. The related expense is based on the value of the anticipated settlement and multiplier for current performance at the end of the associated performance periods. This estimated expense is reflected as a component of net earnings over the vesting period of the PSUs with the related obligation recorded as a liability on the balance sheet. The amount of compensation expense is adjusted at the end of each reporting period to reflect the fair market value of common shares and the number of PSUs anticipated to vest based on the anticipated performance factor.

Future Changes to Accounting Policies

The International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) has issued the following new or amended standards:

Amendment to IAS 12 - Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction

The amendments to IAS 12 clarify that the initial recognition exemption does not apply to transactions in which equal amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences arise on initial recognition. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Early application of the amendments is permitted. The amendments apply to transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. In addition, at the beginning of the earliest comparative period the following would be recognized:

· a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilized and a deferred tax liability for all deductible and taxable temporary differences associated with right-of-use assets and lease liabilities; and

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [50]

· the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other component of equity, as appropriate) at that date.

The implementation of this amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

Amendment to IAS 1- Presentation of Financial statements

The amendments to IAS 1, clarify the presentation of liabilities. The classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based on contractual rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period and is affected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement. A liability not due over the next twelve months is classified as non-current even if management intends or expects to settle the liability within twelve months. The amendment also introduces a definition of ‘settlement’ to make clear that settlement refers to the transfer of cash, equity instruments, other assets, or services to the counterparty. The amendment issued in October 2022 also clarifies how conditions with which an entity must comply within twelve months after the reporting period affect the classification of a liability. Covenants to be compiled with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting date. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. The implementation of this amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 – Disclosure of Accounting policies

The amendments require that an entity discloses its material accounting policies, instead of its significant accounting policies. Further amendments explain how an entity can identify a material accounting policy. Examples of when an accounting policy is likely to be material are added. To support the amendment, the IASB has also developed guidance and examples to explain and demonstrate the application of the ‘four-step materiality process’ described in IFRS Practice Statement 2. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the amendment on its financial statements.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [51]

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.

These non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, and other companies may calculate these measures differently. The presentation of these non-IFRS measures is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

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, 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.

Subsequent Events

Declaration of Dividend

Under the Company’s dividend policy, the quarterly dividend per common share is targeted to equal approximately 30% of the average cash flow generated by operating activities in the previous four quarters divided by the Company’s then outstanding common shares, all rounded to the nearest cent. To minimize volatility in quarterly dividends, the Company has set a minimum quarterly dividend for the duration of 2023 equal to the dividend per common share declared in the prior quarter. The declaration, timing, amount and payment of future dividends remain at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

On March 9, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a dividend in the amount of $0.15 per common share, with this dividend being payable to shareholders of record on March 24, 2023 and is expected to be distributed on or about April 6, 2023. The Company has implemented a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) whereby shareholders can elect to have dividends reinvested directly into additional Wheaton common shares based on the Average Market Price, as defined in the DRIP.

Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Wheaton’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the design and effectiveness of Wheaton’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Canadian Securities Administrators, as of December 31, 2022. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that Wheaton’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2022.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Under the supervision of the Chief Financial Officer, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. The Company’s controls include policies and procedures that:

· pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

· provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and,

· provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the annual financial statements or interim financial statements.

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting using the framework and criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the internal control over financial reporting was effective at as of December 31, 2022.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2022 that would materially affect, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Limitation of Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [56]

potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Attributable Reserves and Resources

The following tables set forth the estimated Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources (metals attributable to Wheaton only) for the mines relating to which the Company has PMPAs, adjusted where applicable to reflect the Company’s percentage entitlement to such metals, as of December 31, 2022, unless otherwise noted. The tables are based on information available to the Company as of the date of this document, and therefore will not reflect updates, if any, after such date. The most current Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources will be available on the Company’s website.

Precious metals and cobalt are by-product metals at all of the Mining Operations, other than gold at the Marmato mine, Toroparu project, Fenix project, Goose project and Blackwater project, silver at the Loma de La Plata zone of the Navidad project and palladium at the Stillwater mines, and therefore, the economic cut off applied to the reporting of precious metals and cobalt reserves and resources will be influenced by changes in the commodity prices of other metals at the mines.

Statements made in this section contain forward-looking information. Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for material risks, assumptions and important disclosure associated with this information.

· such other assumptions and factors as set out in the Disclosure.

Although Wheaton has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results, level of activity, performance or achievements not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate and even if events or results described in the forward-looking statements are realized or substantially realized, there can be no assurance that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, Wheaton. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and are cautioned that actual outcomes may vary. The forward-looking statements included herein are for the purpose of providing investors with information to assist them in understanding Wheaton’s expected financial and operational performance and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Any forward looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Wheaton does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that are included or incorporated by reference herein, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.

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, 2021 and other continuous disclosure documents filed by Wheaton since January 1, 2022, available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Wheaton’s Mineral

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [66]

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 terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve” and “probable mineral reserve” are Canadian mining terms defined in accordance with 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 Definition Standards”). NI 43-101 differs significantly from the disclosure requirements of the SEC generally applicable to U.S. companies. For example, 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 of the SEC generally applicable to U.S. companies. 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 http://www.sec.gov/edgar.html.

PART 2 Financial Statements WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS | 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

Management’s Responsibility for Financial Reporting

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.

These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Financial information appearing throughout our Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is consistent with these consolidated financial statements.

In discharging our responsibility for the integrity and fairness of the consolidated financial statements and for the accounting systems from which they are derived, we maintain and rely on a comprehensive system of internal controls designed to ensure that transactions are authorized, assets are safeguarded and proper records are maintained. These controls include business planning; delegation of authority; careful selection and hiring of staff; accountability for performance within appropriate and well-defined areas of responsibility; and the communication of policies and guidelines of business conduct throughout the company.

The Board of Directors oversees management’s responsibilities for financial reporting through the Audit Committee, which is composed entirely of directors who are neither officers nor employees of Wheaton. The Audit Committee reviews Wheaton’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements and MD&A and recommends them for approval by the Board of Directors. Other key responsibilities of the Audit Committee include monitoring Wheaton’s system of internal controls, monitoring its compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, selecting the external auditors and reviewing the qualifications, independence and performance of the external auditors.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [2]

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 9, 2023, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Impairment - Assessment of Whether Indicators of Impairment or Impairment Reversal Exist within the Mineral Stream Interests - Refer to Note 4.3 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company considers each precious metals purchase agreement (“PMPA”) to be a separate cash generating unit (“CGU”). The Company’s determination of whether or not an indicator of impairment or impairment reversal exists at the CGU level requires significant management judgment. Changes in metal price forecasts, discount rates, reductions or increases in the amount of future recoverable ounces of metals attributable to the Company and/or adverse or favorable operational, political or regulatory developments impacting the mining properties in respect of which the Company has PMPAs can result in a write-down or write-up of the carrying amounts of the Company’s mineral stream interests.

While there are several factors that are required to determine whether or not an indicator of impairment or impairment reversal exists, the judgments with the highest degree of subjectivity are evaluating the impact of (1) changes to future metal prices for gold, silver, palladium and cobalt, and (2) changes in the amount of future recoverable ounces of metals attributable to the Company. Auditing these estimates and factors required a high degree of subjectivity in applying audit procedures and in evaluating the results of those procedures. This resulted in an increased extent of audit effort, including the involvement of fair value specialists.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [3]

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures to evaluate the impact of changes to (1) future metal prices for gold, silver, palladium and cobalt and (2) changes in the amount of future recoverable ounces of metals attributable to the Company in the assessment of indicators of impairment or impairment reversal included the following, among others:

● Evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls over management’s assessment of indicators of impairment or impairment reversal.

● Evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast future recoverable ounces of metals attributable to the Company by:

o Assessing the methodology used in management’s determination of the future recoverable ounces of attributable metals;

o Completing retrospective analysis comparing the Company’s historical forecasts to actual results;

o Comparing management’s expected future recoverable ounces of attributable metals to reserve and resource estimates prepared by the third-party mining property operators; and

o Considering the professional qualifications and objectivity of management’s specialists.

● With the assistance of fair value specialists, evaluated the significance of movements in future metal prices for gold, silver, palladium and cobalt by comparing historical forecasts to current third-party forecasts.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [4]

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (“Wheaton”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer and effected by the Board of Directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. It includes those policies and procedures that:

i. pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, the transactions related to Wheaton’s assets;

ii. provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and Wheaton receipts and expenditures are made only in accordance with authorizations of management and Wheaton’s directors; and

iii. provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of Wheaton’s assets that could have a material effect on Wheaton’s financial statements.

Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of Wheaton’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, Wheaton’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

The effectiveness of Wheaton’s internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2022, has been audited by Deloitte LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, who also audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, as stated in their report.

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, of the Company and our report dated March 9, 2023, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [11]

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (US Dollars)

1. Description of Business and Nature of Operations

Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. is a precious metal streaming company which generates its revenue primarily from the sale of precious metals (gold, silver and palladium) and cobalt. Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (“Wheaton” or the “Company”), which is the ultimate parent company of its consolidated group, is incorporated and domiciled in Canada, and its principal place of business is at Suite 3500 - 1021 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 0C3. The Company trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and the London Stock Exchange (“LSE”) under the symbol WPM.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company has 28 long-term purchase agreements (three of which are early deposit agreements), with 22 different mining companies, for the purchase of precious metals and cobalt (“precious metal purchase agreements” or “PMPA”) relating to 20 mining assets which are currently operating, 12 which are at various stages of development and 3 which have been placed in care and maintenance or have been closed, located in 13 countries. Pursuant to the PMPAs, Wheaton acquires metal production from the counterparties for an initial upfront payment plus an additional cash payment for each ounce or pound delivered which is either a fixed price or fixed percentage of the market price by contract, generally at or below the prevailing market price.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022 were authorized for issue as of March 9, 2023 in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors.

2. Basis of Presentation and Statement of Compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) on a historical cost basis, except for financial assets which are not held for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows on specified dates and derivative assets and derivative liabilities which have been measured at fair value as at the relevant balance sheet date. The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States (“US”) dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency, and all values are expressed in thousands unless otherwise noted. References to “Cdn$” refer to Canadian dollars.

Effective January 1, 2022, the Company changed the classification for stock option expense (Note 23.2), RSU expense (Note 23.3), and PSU expense (Note 24.1) within the Consolidated Statement of Earnings from General and Administrative expense to Share Based Compensation. Additionally, the Company changed the classification for donations and community investments within the Consolidated Statement of Earnings from General and Administrative expense to Donations and Community Investments (Note 9). Management believes these classification changes provide more useful information to the readers of the financial statements.

These changes have been retrospectively applied to all periods presented.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

3.1. New Accounting Standards Effective in 2022

The Company considers that there are no new standards, interpretations and amendments effective in 2022 that impacted the Company’s significant accounting policies.

3.2. Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 100% owned subsidiaries Wheaton Precious Metals International Ltd., Silver Wheaton Luxembourg S.a.r.l. and Wheaton Precious Metals (Cayman) Co.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which the Company obtains a controlling interest. Control is defined as an investor’s power over an investee with exposure, or rights, to variable returns from the investee and the ability to affect the investor’s returns through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial results of the Company from the effective date of acquisition up to the effective date of disposition or loss of control.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. Balances, transactions, income and expenses between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated on consolidation.

3.3. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid money market investments including short-term deposits, treasury bills, commercial paper, bankers’ depository notes and bankers’ acceptances with terms to maturity of less than three months.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (US Dollars)

3.4. Revenue Recognition

Revenue relating to the sale of precious metals is recognized when control of the precious metal is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products. In determining whether the Company has satisfied a performance obligation, it considers the indicators of the transfer of control, which include, but are not limited to, whether: the Company has a present right to payment; the customer has legal title to the asset; the Company has transferred physical possession of the asset to the customer; and the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.

Under certain PMPAs, precious metal is acquired from the mine operator in the form of precious metal credits, which is then sold through bullion banks. Revenue from precious metal credit sales is recognized at the time of the sale of such credits, which is also the date that control of the precious metal is transferred to the customer. The Company will occasionally enter into forward contracts in relation to precious metal deliveries that it is highly confident will occur within a given quarter. The sales price is fixed at the delivery date based on either the terms of these short-term forward sales contracts or the spot price of the precious metal.

Under certain PMPAs, precious metal is acquired from the mine operator in concentrate form, which is then sold under the terms of the concentrate sales contracts to third-party smelters or traders. Where the Company acquires precious metals in concentrate form, final precious metal prices are set on a specified future quotational period (the “Quotational Period”) pursuant to the concentrate sales contracts with third-party smelters, typically one to three months after the shipment date, based on market prices for precious metals. The contracts, in general, provide for a provisional payment based upon provisional assays and quoted precious metal prices. Final settlement is based upon the average applicable price for the Quotational Period applied to the actual number of precious metal ounces recovered calculated using confirmed smelter weights and settlement assays. Revenues and the associated cost of sales are recorded on a gross basis under these contracts at the time title passes to the buyer, which is also the date that control of the precious metal is transferred to the customer. The Company has concluded that the adjustments relating to the final assay results for the quantity of concentrate sold are not significant and do not constrain the recognition of revenue.

Title to but not control of cobalt is transferred to a third-party sales agent who then onsells the cobalt to Wheaton approved third party customers. Revenue from the sale of cobalt is recognized when the third party customer and sales terms have been agreed to between Wheaton and the third-party sales agent, which is also the date that control of the cobalt is transferred to the third-party sales agent.

3.5. Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through net earnings) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through net earnings are recognized immediately in net earnings.

3.6. Financial Assets

Financial assets are subsequently measured at either amortized cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.

Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (“FVTOCI”)

The Company’s long-term investments in common shares held are for long-term strategic purposes and not for trading. Upon the adoption of IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”), the Company made an irrevocable election to designate these long-term investments in common shares held as FVTOCI as it believes that this provides a more meaningful presentation for long-term strategic investments, rather than reflecting changes in fair value in net earnings.

Long-term investments in common shares held are initially measured at fair value. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and accumulated in the long-term investment revaluation reserve. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to net earnings on disposal of these long-term investments but is reclassified to retained earnings.

Dividends on these long-term investments in common shares held are recognized as a component of net earnings in the period they are received under the classification Other (Income) Expense.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [13]

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (US Dollars)

Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Net Earnings (“FVTNE”)

Cash and cash equivalents are stated at FVTNE.

Warrants held by the Company for long-term investment purposes are classified as FVTNE. These warrants are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized as a component of net earnings under the classification Other (Income) Expense.

Convertible notes receivable (Note 17) are classified as FVTNE and are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gains or losses (if any) arising on remeasurement is recognized as a component of net earnings under the classification Other (Income) Expense.

As discussed in Note 3.4, the Company’s provisionally priced sales contain an embedded derivative that is reflected at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Fair value gains and losses related to the embedded derivative are included in revenue in the period they occur.

Financial Assets at Amortized Cost

The non-revolving term loan, which requires regularly scheduled payments of interest and principal, is carried at amortized cost. Other receivables are non-interest bearing and are stated at amortized cost, which approximate fair values due to the short terms to maturity. Where necessary, the non-revolving term loan and other receivables are reported net of allowances for uncollectable amounts.

Foreign Exchange Gains and Losses

The fair value of financial assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of each reporting period. The foreign exchange component forms part of its fair value gain or loss. Therefore,

^· For financial assets that are classified as FVTNE, the foreign exchange component is recognized as a component of net earnings;

^· For financial assets that are classified as FVTOCI, the foreign exchange component is recognized as a component of OCI; and

^· For financial assets that are denominated in a foreign currency and are measured at amortized cost at the end of each reporting period, the foreign exchange gains and losses are determined based on the amortized cost of the instruments and are recognized as a component of net earnings.

Derecognition of Financial Assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognizes its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a collateralized borrowing for the proceeds received.

On derecognition of a financial asset that is classified as FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss (net of tax) previously accumulated in the long-term investment revaluation reserve is not reclassified to net earnings, but is reclassified to retained earnings.

3.7. Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definition of a financial liability and equity instrument. All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method or at FVTNE, depending on the classification of the instrument.

Equity Instruments

An equity instrument is a contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the proceeds received less direct issue costs (net of any current or deferred income tax recovery attributable to such costs).

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [14]

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (US Dollars)

Share Purchase Warrants Issued

Share purchase warrants issued with an exercise price denominated in the Company’s functional currency (US dollars) are considered equity instruments with the consideration received reflected within shareholders’ equity under the classification of share purchase warrants reserve. Upon exercise, the original consideration is reallocated from share purchase warrants reserve to issued share capital along with the associated exercise price.

Bank Debt

Bank debt is initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Other Financial Liabilities

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are stated at amortized cost, which approximate fair values due to the short terms to maturity.

Foreign Exchange Gains and Losses

The fair value of financial liabilities denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of each reporting period. Therefore,

^· For financial liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency and are measured at amortized cost at the end of each reporting period, the foreign exchange gains and losses are determined based on the amortized cost of the instruments and are recognized as a component of net earnings; and

^· For financial liabilities that are classified as FVTNE, the foreign exchange component forms part of the fair value gains or losses and is recognized as a component of net earnings.

Derecognition of Financial Liabilities

The Company derecognizes financial liabilities when the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized as a component of net earnings.

3.8. Mineral Stream Interests

Agreements for which settlement is called for in gold, silver, palladium or cobalt, the amount of which is based on production at the mines, are stated at cost less accumulated depletion and accumulated impairment charges, if any.

The cost of the asset is comprised of its purchase price, any closing costs directly attributable to acquiring the asset, and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs. The purchase price is the aggregate cash amount paid and the fair value of any other non-cash consideration given to acquire the asset.

Depletion

The cost of these mineral stream interests is separately allocated to reserves, resources and exploration potential. The value allocated to reserves is classified as depletable and is depleted on a unit-of-production basis over the estimated recoverable proven and probable reserves at the mine corresponding to the specific agreement. The value associated with resources and exploration potential is the value beyond proven and probable reserves at acquisition and is classified as non-depletable until such time as it is transferred to the depletable category as a result of the conversion of resources and/or exploration potential into reserves.

Asset Impairment

Management considers each PMPA to be a separate cash generating unit (“CGU”), which is the lowest level for which cash inflows are largely independent of those of other assets. At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses each PMPA to determine whether any indication of impairment or impairment reversal exists. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the PMPA is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment or impairment reversal (if any). The recoverable amount of each PMPA is the higher of fair value less cost of disposal (“FVLCD”) and value in use (“VIU”). The FVLCD represents the amount that could be received from each PMPA in an arm’s length transaction at the measurement date.

If the carrying amount of the PMPA exceeds its recoverable amount, the PMPA is considered impaired and an impairment charge is reflected as a component of net earnings so as to reduce the carrying amount to its recoverable value. A previously recognized impairment charge is reversed only if there has been an indicator of a potential impairment reversal and the resulting assessment of the PMPA’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying value. If this

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [15]

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (US Dollars)

is the case, the carrying amount of the PMPA is increased to its recoverable amount. The increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depletion, had no impairment charge been recognized for the PMPA in prior years. Such reversal is reflected as a component of net earnings.

3.9. Borrowing and Debt Issue Costs

Borrowing costs allocable to qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of preparation for their intended use, are capitalized and included in the carrying amounts of the related assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. Borrowing costs that do not relate to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are reflected as a component of net earnings under the classification Finance Costs, as incurred.

Debt issue costs on non-revolving facilities are treated as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the original liability and are amortized over the life of the new or modified liability. Debt issue costs on revolving facilities are recorded as an asset under the classification Other long-term assets and are amortized over the life of the new or modified credit facility.

3.10. Stock Based Payment Transactions

The Company recognizes a stock based compensation expense for all share purchase options and restricted share units (“RSUs”) awarded to employees, officers and directors based on the fair values of the share purchase options and RSUs at the date of grant. The fair values of share purchase options and RSUs at the date of grant are expensed over the vesting periods of the share purchase options and RSUs, respectively, with a corresponding increase to equity. The fair value of share purchase options is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with market related inputs as of the date of grant. Share purchase options with graded vesting schedules are accounted for as separate grants with different vesting periods and fair values. The fair value of RSUs is the market value of the underlying shares at the date of grant. At the end of each reporting period, the Company re-assesses its estimates of the number of awards that are expected to vest and recognizes the impact of any revisions to this estimate in the consolidated statement of earnings.

The Company recognizes a stock based compensation expense for performance share units (“PSUs”) which are awarded to eligible employees and are settled in cash. Compensation expense for the PSUs is recorded on a straight-line basis over the three year vesting period. This estimated expense is reflected as a component of net earnings over the vesting period of the PSUs with the related obligation recorded as a liability on the balance sheet. The amount of compensation expense is adjusted at the end of each reporting period to reflect (i) the fair market value of common shares; (ii) the number of PSUs anticipated to vest; and (iii) the anticipated performance factor.

3.11. Income Taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Current and deferred income taxes are recognized as a component of net earnings except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or as a component of OCI.

Current income tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred income tax is recognized using the liability method on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and which are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax assets are realized or the deferred income tax liabilities are settled.

Deferred income tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred income tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax losses and tax credits to the extent that it is probable that sufficient future taxable income, including income arising from reversing taxable temporary differences and tax planning opportunities, will be available against which those deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax losses and tax credits can be utilized.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries except where the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable income against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [16]

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (US Dollars)

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income, including income arising from reversing taxable temporary differences and tax planning opportunities, will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be recovered.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are not recognized for temporary differences arising from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction which does not affect either the accounting income or the taxable income. In addition, deferred income tax liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.

3.12. Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share calculations are based on the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents issued and outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the treasury method which requires the calculation of diluted earnings per share by assuming that outstanding share purchase options and warrants with an exercise price that exceeds the average market price of the common shares for the period are exercised, and the proceeds are used to repurchase shares of the Company at the average market price of the common shares for the period.

3.13. Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated into US dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the rate of exchange at the transaction date. Foreign currency transactions are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the transaction dates. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of net earnings except for the foreign exchange gains and losses on the Company’s long-term investments in common shares held which are reflected as a component of OCI and accumulated in a separate component of the investments revaluation reserve which is a component of shareholders’ equity. Once the foreign exchange gains or losses on these long-term investments in common shares held are realized as a result of a disposal, the accumulated foreign exchange gain or loss is reallocated from the investments reserve to retained earnings.

3.14. Leasing

The Company as the Lessee

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to use an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease agreements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets. For these leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate.

The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.

The Company re-measures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) whenever the lease term has changed or there is a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is re-measured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.

The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any.

3.15. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost includes the original purchase price of the asset and the costs attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [17]

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (US Dollars)

use. Depreciation is based on cost and is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the asset. The right of use asset discussed in Note 3.14 and the leasehold improvements are depreciated over the life of the lease term. Other assets, which include computer software, computer equipment, office furniture and office equipment, are depreciated over their estimated economic life, which ranges from 3 to 10 years.

3.16. Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount required to settle the obligation.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

3.17. Post-Employment Benefit Costs

The Company provides a Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“SERP) to all qualified employees. The SERP is an unregistered and unfunded defined contribution plan under which the Company makes a fixed notional contribution to an account maintained by the Company. Any benefits under the SERP have a vesting period of five years from the first date of employment. The notional contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense in earnings in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.

3.18. Future Changes to Accounting Policies

The IASB has issued the following new or amended standards:

Amendment to IAS 12 - Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction

The amendments to IAS 12 clarify that the initial recognition exemption does not apply to transactions in which equal amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences arise on initial recognition. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Early application of the amendments is permitted. The amendments apply to transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. In addition, at the beginning of the earliest comparative period the following would be recognized:

● a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilized and a deferred tax liability for all deductible and taxable temporary differences associated with right-of-use assets and lease liabilities; and

● the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other component of equity, as appropriate) at that date.

The implementation of this amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

Amendment to IAS 1- Presentation of Financial statements

The amendments to IAS 1, clarify the presentation of liabilities. The classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based on contractual rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period and is affected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement. A liability not due over the next twelve months is classified as non-current even if management intends or expects to settle the liability within twelve months. The amendment also introduces a definition of ‘settlement’ to make clear that settlement refers to the transfer of cash, equity instruments, other assets, or services to the counterparty. The amendment issued in October 2022 also clarifies how conditions with which an entity must comply within twelve months after the reporting period affect the classification of a liability. Covenants to be compiled with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting date. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. The implementation of this amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 – Disclosure of Accounting policies

The amendments require that an entity discloses its material accounting policies, instead of its significant accounting policies. Further amendments explain how an entity can identify a material accounting policy. Examples of when an accounting policy is likely to be material are added. To support the amendment, the IASB has also developed

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [18]

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (US Dollars)

guidance and examples to explain and demonstrate the application of the ‘four-step materiality process’ described in IFRS Practice Statement 2. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the amendment on its financial statements.

4. Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty and Critical Accounting Judgments

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.

Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and judgments made by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements are described below.

Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

4.1. Attributable Reserve, Resource and Exploration Potential Estimates

Mineral stream interests are significant assets of the Company, with a carrying value of $5.8 billion at December 31, 2022, inclusive of early deposit agreements. This amount represents the capitalized expenditures related to the acquisition of the mineral stream interests, net of accumulated depletion and accumulated impairment charges, if any. The Company estimates the reserves, resources and exploration potential relating to each agreement. Reserves are estimates of the amount of metals contained in ore that can be economically and legally extracted from the mining properties in respect of which the Company has PMPAs. Resources are estimates of the amount of metals contained in mineralized material for which there is a reasonable prospect for economic extraction from the mining properties in respect of which the Company has PMPAs. Exploration potential represents an estimate of additional reserves and resources which may be discovered through the mine operator’s exploration program. The Company adjusts its estimates of reserves, resources (where applicable) and exploration potential (where applicable) to reflect the Company’s percentage entitlement to metals produced from such mines. The Company compiles its estimates of its reserves and resources based on information supplied by appropriately qualified persons relating to the geological data on the size, density and grade of the ore body, and require complex geological and geostatistical judgments to interpret the data. The estimation of recoverable reserves and resources is based upon factors such as estimates of foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital requirements, and production costs along with geological assumptions and judgments made in estimating the size and grade of the ore body. The Company estimates exploration potential based on assumptions surrounding the ore body continuity which requires judgment as to future success of any exploration programs undertaken by the mine operator. Changes in the reserve estimates, resource estimates or exploration potential estimates may impact upon the carrying value of the Company’s mineral stream interests and depletion charges.

4.2. Depletion

As described in Note 3.8, the Company’s mineral stream interests are separately allocated to reserves, resources and exploration potential. The value allocated to reserves is classified as depletable and is depleted on a unit-of-production basis over the estimated recoverable proven and probable reserves at the mine corresponding to the specific agreement. The value associated with resources and exploration potential is the value beyond proven and probable reserves at acquisition and is classified as non-depletable until such time as it is transferred to the depletable category as a result of the conversion of resources and/or exploration potential into reserves. To make this allocation, the Company estimates the recoverable reserves, resources and exploration potential at each mining operation. These calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions, including the amount of contained metals, recovery rates and payable rates. Changes to these assumptions may impact the estimated recoverable reserves, resources or exploration potential which could directly impact the depletion rates used. Changes to depletion rates are accounted for prospectively.

4.3. Impairment of Assets

As more fully described in Note 14, the Company assesses each PMPA at the end of every reporting period to determine whether any indication of impairment or impairment reversal exists. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the PMPA is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment or impairment reversal (if any). The calculation of the recoverable amount requires the use of estimates and assumptions such as long-term commodity prices, discount rates, recoverable ounces of attributable metals, and operating performance.

The price of precious metals and cobalt has been volatile over the past several years. The Company monitors spot and forward metal prices and if necessary re-evaluates the long-term metal price assumptions used for impairment testing. Should price levels decline or increase in the future, either for an extended period of time or due to known macro

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [19]

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (US Dollars)

economic changes, the Company may need to re-evaluate the long-term metal price assumptions used for impairment testing. A significant decrease in long-term metal price assumptions may be an indication of potential impairment, while a significant increase in long-term metal price assumptions may be an indication of potential impairment reversal. In addition, the Company also monitors the estimated recoverable reserves and resources as well as operational developments and other matters at the mining properties in respect of which the Company has PMPAs for indications of impairment or impairment reversal. Should the Company conclude that it has an indication of impairment or impairment reversal at any balance sheet date, the Company is required to perform an impairment assessment.

4.4. Valuation of Stock Based Compensation

As more fully described in Note 3.10, the Company has various forms of stock based compensation, including share purchase options, restricted share units (“RSUs”) and performance share units (“PSUs”). The calculation of the fair value of share purchase options, RSUs and PSUs issued requires the use of estimates as more fully described in Notes 23.2, 23.3, and 24.1, respectively.

Critical Accounting Judgments

4.5. Contingencies

Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal and tax matters are outstanding from time to time, including those matters described in Note 32. By their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment of the outcome of future events. If the Company is unable to resolve any of these matters favorably, there may be a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial performance, cash flows or results of operations. In the event that management’s judgement of the future resolution of these matters changes, the Company will recognize the effects of the changes in its consolidated financial statements in the appropriate period relative to when such changes occur.

4.6. Income Taxes

The interpretation and application of existing tax laws, regulations or rules in Canada, the Cayman Islands, Barbados, Luxembourg, the Netherlands or any of the countries in which the Company’s subsidiaries or the mining operations are located or to which deliveries of precious metals, precious metal credits or cobalt are made requires the use of judgment. The likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained is assessed based on facts and circumstances of the relevant tax position considering all available evidence. Differing interpretation of these laws, regulations or rules could result in an increase in the Company’s taxes, or other governmental charges, duties or impositions. Refer to Note 32 for more information.

In assessing the probability of realizing deferred income tax assets, the Company makes estimates related to expectations of future taxable income, including the expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences. Such estimates are based on forecasted cash flows from operations which require the use of estimates and assumptions such as long-term commodity prices and recoverable metal ounces. The amount of deferred income tax assets recognized on the balance sheet could be reduced if the actual taxable income differs significantly from expected taxable income. The Company reassesses its deferred income tax assets at the end of each reporting period.

5. Financial Instruments

5.1. Capital Risk Management

The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance.

The capital structure of the Company consists of debt (Note 21) and equity attributable to common shareholders, comprising of issued capital (Note 22), accumulated reserves (Note 23) and retained earnings.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements with the exception of complying with the minimum tangible net worth covenant under the credit agreement governing bank debt (Note 21).

The Company is in compliance with the debt covenants at December 31, 2022, as described in Note 21.1.

5.2. Categories of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The previously outstanding non-revolving term loan, which required regularly scheduled payments of interest and principal and the refundable deposit on the 777 PMPA, are carried at amortized cost. Trade receivables from sales of cobalt and other receivables are non-interest bearing and are stated at amortized cost, which approximate fair values due to the short terms to maturity. Where necessary, the non-revolving term loan and the other receivables are reported net of allowances for uncollectable amounts. All other financial assets are reported at fair value. Fair value adjustments on financial assets are reflected as a component of net earnings with the exception of fair value adjustments associated

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [20]

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (US Dollars)

with the Company’s long-term investments in common shares held. As these long-term investments are held for strategic purposes and not for trading, the Company has made a one time, irrevocable election to reflect the fair value adjustments associated with these investments as a component of OCI. Financial liabilities are reported at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The following table summarizes the classification of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities:

1) FVTNE refers to Fair Value Through Net Earnings, FVTOCI refers to Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income

5.3. Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the Company by failing to discharge its obligations. To mitigate exposure to credit risk on financial assets, the Company has established policies to limit the concentration of credit risk, to ensure counterparties demonstrate minimum acceptable credit worthiness and to ensure liquidity of available funds.

The Company closely monitors its financial assets and does not have any significant concentration of credit risk. The Company invests surplus cash in short-term, high credit quality, money market instruments. Additionally, the outstanding accounts receivable from the sales of cobalt are supported by a $10 million letter of credit. Finally, counterparties used to sell precious metals are all large, international organizations with strong credit ratings and the balance of trade receivables on these sales in the ordinary course of business is not significant. Therefore, credit risk associated with trade receivables at December 31, 2022 is considered to be negligible.

Maximum exposure to credit risk related to financial assets		$	714,349	$	255,524

5.4. Liquidity Risk

The Company has in place a rigorous planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis and its expansionary plans. The Company ensures that there are sufficient committed loan facilities to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations and its holdings of cash and cash equivalents. As at December 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $696 million (December 31, 2021 - $226 million) and working capital of $689 million (December 31, 2021 - $220 million).

The Company holds equity investments of several companies (Note 18) with a combined market value at December 31, 2022 of $256 million (December 31, 2021 - $61 million). The daily exchange traded volume of these shares, including the shares underlying the warrants, is not sufficient for the Company to liquidate its position in a short period of time without potentially affecting the market value of the shares. These shares and warrants are held for strategic purposes and are considered long-term investments and therefore, as part of the Company’s planning, budgeting and liquidity analysis process, these investments are not relied upon to provide operational liquidity.

The following table summarizes the timing associated with the Company’s remaining contractual payments relating to its financial liabilities. The table reflects the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay (assuming that the Company is in compliance with all of its obligations). The table includes both interest and principal cash flows, where applicable.

5.5. Currency Risk

The Company undertakes certain transactions denominated in Canadian dollars, including certain operating expenses and the acquisition of strategic long-term investments. As a result, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the United States dollar. The carrying amounts of the Company’s Canadian dollar denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

5.6. Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its outstanding borrowings and short-term investments. Presently, the Company has no outstanding borrowings, and historically all borrowings have been at floating interest rates. The

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [23]

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (US Dollars)

Company monitors its exposure to interest rates and has not entered into any derivative contracts to manage this risk. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the weighted average effective interest rate paid by the Company on its outstanding borrowings was Nil (2021 - 1.17%).

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, a fluctuation in interest rates of 100 basis points (1 percent) would have impacted the amount of interest expensed by approximately $Nil and $0.2 million, respectively.

5.7. Other Price Risk

The Company is exposed to equity price risk as a result of holding long-term investments in common shares of various companies. The Company does not actively trade these investments.

If equity prices had been 10% higher or lower at the respective balance sheet date, other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 would have increased/decreased by approximately $25 million and $6 million respectively, as a result of changes in the fair value of common shares held.

5.8. Fair Value Estimation

The Company classifies its fair value measurements within a fair value hierarchy, which reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements as defined in IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurements (“IFRS 13”).

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by IFRS 13, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Refundable Deposit on the 777 PMPA (Note 19) as well as the previously outstanding non-revolving term loan are carried at amortized cost. Trade accounts receivables, other accounts receivables and accounts payables and accrued liabilities are non-interest bearing and are stated at amortized cost, which approximate fair values due to the short terms to maturity. Where necessary, other receivables are reported net of allowances for uncollectable amounts.

When balances are outstanding, the Company’s bank debt (Note 21.1) is reported at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The carrying value of the bank debt approximates its fair value.

5.8.1. Valuation Techniques for Level 1 Assets

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and, as such, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Long-Term Investments in Common Shares Held

The Company’s long-term investments in common shares held are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and, as such, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the long-term investments in common shares held is calculated as the quoted market price of the common share multiplied by the quantity of shares held by the Company.

5.8.2. Valuation Techniques for Level 2 Assets

Accounts Receivable Arising from Sales of Metal Concentrates

The Company’s trade receivables and accrued liabilities from provisional concentrate sales are valued based on forward prices of gold and silver to the expected date of final settlement (Note 6). As such, these receivables and/or liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Long-Term Investments in Warrants Held

The fair value of the Company’s long-term investments in warrants held that are not traded in an active market are determined using a Black-Scholes model based on assumptions including risk free interest rate, expected dividend yield, expected volatility and expected warrant life which are supported by observable current market conditions and as such are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The use of reasonably possible alternative assumptions would not significantly affect the Company’s results.

5.8.3. Valuation Techniques for Level 3 Assets

Convertible Note Receivable

At February 18, 2022 (the date the Kutcho Convertible Note was terminated) and December 31, 2021, the fair value of the Kutcho Convertible Note (Note 17), which is not traded in an active market, was determined by reference to the value of the shares the Company would receive if the right to convert the note into shares was exercised. This convertible note receivable was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and any changes in fair value were reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings under the classification Other (Income) Expense (Note 10).

Gold, Silver and Palladium Credit Sales

Under certain PMPAs, precious metal is acquired from the mine operator in the form of precious metal credits, which is then sold through bullion banks. Revenue from precious metal credit sales is recognized at the time of the sale of such credits, which is also the date that control of the precious metal is transferred to the customer.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, sales to three financial institutions accounted for 29%, 24% and 20% of the Company’s revenue as compared to sales to four financial institutions accounted for 28%, 25%, 11% and 10% of the Company’s revenue during the comparable period of the previous year. The Company would not be materially affected should any of these financial institutions cease to buy precious metal credits from the Company as these sales would be redirected to alternate financial institutions.

The Company will occasionally enter into forward contracts in relation to precious metal deliveries that it is highly confident will occur within a given quarter. The sales price is fixed at the delivery date based on either the terms of these short-term forward sales contracts or the spot price of precious metal.

Concentrate Sales

Under certain PMPAs, gold and/or silver is acquired from the mine operator in concentrate form, which is then sold under the terms of the concentrate sales contracts to third-party smelters or traders. Where the Company acquires precious metal in concentrate form, final precious metal prices are set on a specified future quotational period (the “Quotational Period”) pursuant to the concentrate sales contracts with third-party smelters, typically one to three months after the shipment date, based on market prices for precious metal. The contracts, in general, provide for a provisional payment based upon provisional assays and quoted gold and silver prices. Final settlement is based upon the average applicable price for the Quotational Period applied to the actual number of precious metal ounces recovered calculated using confirmed smelter weights and settlement assays. Revenues and the associated cost of sales are recorded on a gross basis under these contracts at the time title passes to the customer, which is also the date that control of the precious metal is transferred to the customer. The Company has concluded that the adjustments relating to the final assay results for the quantity of concentrate sold are not significant and do not constrain the recognition of revenue.

Cobalt Sales

Cobalt is sold to a third-party sales agent who generally on-sells the cobalt to Wheaton approved third party customers. Revenue from the sale of cobalt is recognized once the third-party customer and sales terms have been agreed to between Wheaton and the third-party sales agent, which is also the date that control of the cobalt is transferred to the third-party sales agent. Should the sales agent retain the cobalt for their own use, revenue is recognized once the sales terms have been agreed to between Wheaton and the third-party sales agent and the product has been delivered, which is also the date that control of the cobalt is transferred to the third-party sales agent.

The value allocated to reserves is classified as depletable upon a mining operation achieving first production and is depleted on a unit-of-production basis over the estimated recoverable proven and probable reserves at the mine. The value associated with resources and exploration potential is allocated at acquisition and is classified as non-depletable until such time as it is transferred to the depletable category, generally as a result of the conversion of resources or exploration potential into reserves.

Constancia – Pampacancha Additional Upfront Payment

On May 10, 2021, Wheaton and Hudbay Minerals Inc. (“Hudbay”) agreed to amend the Constancia streaming agreement so that Hudbay would no longer be required to deliver an additional 8,020 ounces of gold to Wheaton for not mining four million tonnes of ore from Pampacancha by June 30, 2021. As part of that amendment, Hudbay agreed to increase the fixed gold recoveries that apply to Constancia ore production from 55% to 70% during the reserve life of Pampacancha. Additionally, as Hudbay mined and processed four million tonnes of ore from the Pampacancha deposit by December 31, 2021, the Company was required to make an additional deposit payment of $4 million to Hudbay, which was paid on December 23, 2021.

Acquisition of Santo Domingo Precious Metals Purchase Agreement

On March 24, 2021, the Company entered into a PMPA with Capstone in respect to the Santo Domingo project located in the Atacama Region of Chile. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will purchase an amount of gold equal to 100% of the payable gold production until 285,000 ounces have been delivered, thereafter dropping to

14. Impairment (Impairment Reversal) of Mineral Stream Interests

As more fully described in Note 3.8, at every reporting period the Company assesses each PMPA to determine whether any indication of impairment or impairment reversal exists. Based on the Company’s analysis, there was an indicator of impairment and indicators of impairment reversal identified at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 for the following PMPAs:

			Years Ended December 31

Cobalt Interests
Voisey’s Bay				-		(156,717)
Total net impairment reversal			$	(8,611)	$	(156,717)

Voisey’s Bay – Impairment Reversal

At June 30, 2019, the Company determined there to be an impairment charge relative to the Voisey’s Bay cobalt interest (“Voisey’s Bay PMPA”) due to a significant decline in market cobalt prices and a sale of a similar PMPA by a third-party group at a price significantly below Wheaton’s comparable carrying value for the Voisey’s Bay PMPA. At June 30, 2019, management estimated that the recoverable amount under the Voisey’s Bay PMPA was $227 million, representing its FVLCD and resulting in an impairment charge of $166 million.

At December 31, 2021, an indicator of impairment reversal was identified relative to the Voisey’s Bay PMPA as a result of significant and sustained increases in the market prices of cobalt over the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to market prices of cobalt at the time the original impairment was recorded. Management estimated that the recoverable amount at December 31, 2021 of the Voisey’s Bay PMPA exceeded the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depletion, had no impairment charge been recognized for the PMPA in prior years. The recoverable amount represented its FVLCD and resulted in an impairment reversal of $157 million at December 31, 2021 which represented a full reversal of the impairment charge recorded in the year ended December 31, 2019, net of depletion that otherwise would have been recorded. The recoverable amount of the Voisey’s Bay PMPA was estimated using a discounted cash flow model with an average discount rate of 8% and an average projected market price of cobalt of $23.97 per pound. As this valuation technique requires the use of estimates and assumptions such as commodity prices, discount rates, recoverable pounds of cobalt and operating performance, it is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Keno Hill – Impairment Reversal

At December 31, 2015, the Company determined there to be an impairment charge of $10.5 million relative to the Keno Hill PMPA due to the suspension of operations at the Bellekeno mine.

As discussed in Note 13, on September 7, 2022, the Company terminated the Keno Hill PMPA in exchange for 34,800,989 common shares of Hecla valued at $141 million. This value exceeded the carrying amount of the Keno Hill PMPA that would have been determined, net of depletion, had no impairment charge been recognized for the Keno Hill

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [34]

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (US Dollars)

PMPA. As a result, an impairment reversal of $10.3 million has been recorded for the year ended December 31, 2022, which represents a full reversal of the impairment charge recorded in the year ended December 31, 2015, net of depletion that otherwise would have been recorded. The recoverable amount of the Keno Hill PMPA was determined based on the value of the consideration received in exchange for its termination, and as such is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

15. Early Deposit Mineral Stream Interests

Early deposit mineral stream interests represent agreements relative to early stage development projects whereby Wheaton can choose not to proceed with the agreement once certain documentation has been received including, but not limited to, feasibility studies, environmental studies and impact assessment studies (please see Note 32 for more information). Once Wheaton has elected to proceed with the agreement, the carrying value of the stream will be transferred to Mineral Stream Interests.

The following table summarizes the early deposit mineral stream interests currently owned by the Company:

											Attributable Production to be Purchased
Early Deposit Mineral   Stream Interests	Mine Owner		Location of Mine		Upfront Consideration Paid to Date 1		Upfront Consideration to be Paid 1, 2		Total Upfront Consideration¹		Gold			Silver			Term of Agreement

1) Expressed in thousands of United States dollars; excludes closing costs and capitalized interest, where applicable.

2) Please refer to Note 32 for details of when the remaining upfront consideration to be paid becomes due.

3) Once 90 million silver equivalent ounces attributable to Wheaton have been produced, the attributable production will decrease to 16.67% of gold production and 66.67% of silver production for the life of mine.

Kutcho – Contract Modifications

As discussed in Note 17, on February 18, 2022, the Company agreed to modify the Kutcho Early Deposit Agreement, including the elimination of the drop-down in attributable gold and silver to 66.7% once certain thresholds had been achieved, and eliminating the requirement to make an additional payment to Kutcho, of up to $20 million, if processing throughput is increased to 4,500 tonnes per day or more within 5 years of attaining commercial production.

16. Mineral Royalty Interests

On January 5, 2021, the Company paid $3 million for an existing 2.0% net smelter return royalty interest on the first 600,000 ounces of gold mined from ore extracted from the Brewery Creek quartz mineral claims located in the Yukon Territories, Canada owned by Golden Predator Exploration Ltd., a subsidiary of Sabre Gold Mines Corp. (“Golden Predator”) and any mineral tenure derived therefrom, and a 2.75% net smelter returns royalty interest thereafter (the “Brewery Creek Royalty”). The Brewery Creek Royalty agreement provides, among other things, that Golden Predator may reduce the 2.75% net smelter returns royalty interest to 2.125%, on payment of the sum of Cdn$2 million to Wheaton.

Additionally, the Company has a 0.5% net smelter return royalty interest in the Metates properties (the “Metates Royalty”) located in Mexico from Chesapeake Gold Corp. (“Chesapeake”) for the life of mine. The carrying cost of the Metates Royalty is $3 million. The Company also has a right of first refusal on any silver streaming, royalty or any other transaction on the Metates properties.

To date, no revenue has been recognized and no depletion has been taken with respect to these royalty agreements.

17. Convertible Notes Receivable

Kutcho Copper Corp.

Effective December 14, 2017, in connection with the Kutcho Early Deposit Agreement, the Company advanced to Kutcho $16 million (Cdn$20 million) and received the Kutcho Convertible Note. The Kutcho Convertible Note, which had a seven year term to maturity, carried interest at 10% per annum, compounded and payable semi-annually. Kutcho elected to defer the first seven interest payments. The deferred interest carried interest at 15% per annum, compounded semi-annually.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (US Dollars)

In addition to the Kutcho Convertible Note, on November 25, 2019, the Company entered into a non-revolving term loan with Kutcho, under which Kutcho had drawn $0.8 million (Cdn$1.0 million). The credit facility carried interest at 15% per annum, compounded monthly.

Effective February 18, 2022, the Company agreed to settle and terminate the Kutcho Convertible Note and the non-revolving term loan with Kutcho in exchange for shares of Kutcho valued at $6.7 million in addition to certain other modifications to the Kutcho Early Deposit Agreement, including the elimination of the drop-down in attributable gold and silver to 66.7% once certain thresholds had been achieved, and eliminating the requirement to make an additional payment to Kutcho, of up to $20 million, if processing throughput is increased to 4,500 tonnes per day or more within 5 years of attaining commercial production.

Convertible Notes Receivable Valuation Summary

The fair value of the Kutcho Convertible Note, which was not traded in an active market, was determined by reference to the value of the shares the Company would receive if the right to convert the note into shares was exercised.

A summary of the fair value of the Kutcho Convertible Note and the fair value changes recognized as a component of the Company’s net earnings during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 is presented below:

2) Fair Value Gains (Losses) are reflected as a component of OCI.

The Company’s long-term investments in common shares (“LTI’s”) are held for long-term strategic purposes and not for trading purposes. As such, the Company has elected to reflect any fair value adjustments, net of tax, as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to net earnings on disposal of these long-term investments but is reclassified to retained earnings.

By holding these long-term investments, the Company is inherently exposed to various risk factors including currency risk, market price risk and liquidity risk.

19. Refundable Deposit – 777 PMPA

On August 8, 2012, the Company entered into a PMPA with Hudbay in respect to the 777 mine (Note 13). Under the terms of the 777 PMPA, should the market value of gold and silver delivered to Wheaton through the initial 40 year term of the contract, net of the per ounce cash payment, be lower than the initial $455 million upfront consideration, the Company is entitled to a refund of the difference (the “Refundable Deposit”) at the conclusion of the 40 year term. On June 22, 2022, Hudbay announced that mining activities at the 777 mine have concluded after the reserves were depleted and closure activities have commenced.

At December 31, 2022, the balance of the Refundable Deposit was $79 million. The Company has estimated that a credit facility with similar terms and conditions would have an interest rate of 8%, resulting in the Refundable Deposit having a fair value of $8 million at December 31, 2022, resulting in a $2 million impairment on the 777 PMPA. The Company has derecognized the 777 PMPA and recognized a long-term receivable, with interest to be accreted on a quarterly basis until maturity which is August 8, 2052.

21.1. Sustainability-Linked Revolving Credit Facility

On July 18, 2022, the term of the Company’s undrawn $2 billion revolving term loan (“Revolving Facility”) was extended by an additional year, with the facility now maturing on July 18, 2027.

The Company’s Revolving Facility has financial covenants which require the Company to maintain: (i) a net debt to tangible net worth ratio of less than or equal to 0.75:1; and (ii) an interest coverage ratio of greater than or equal to

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [38]

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (US Dollars)

3.00:1. Only cash interest expenses are included for the purposes of calculating the interest coverage ratio. The Company is in compliance with these debt covenants as at December 31, 2022.

At the Company’s option, amounts drawn under the Revolving Facility incur interest based on the Company’s leverage ratio at either (i) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 1.10% to 2.30%; or (ii) the Bank of Nova Scotia’s Base Rate plus 0.00% to 1.05%. Under both options, the interest rate shall not be less than 0%. In connection with the extension, the interest rate paid on drawn amounts will be adjusted by up to +/- 0.05% based upon the Company’s performance in three sustainability-related areas including climate change, diversity and overall performance in sustainability. During the year ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the stand-by fee rate was 0.20%.

The Revolving Facility, which is classified as a financial liability and reported at amortized cost using the effective interest method, can be drawn down at any time to finance acquisitions, investments or for general corporate purposes. In connection with the Revolving Facility, there is $6 million unamortized debt issue costs which have been recorded as a long-term asset under the classification Other (see Note 29).

At the Market Equity Program

The Company has established an at-the-market equity program (the “ATM Program”) that allows the Company to issue up to $300 million worth of common shares from treasury (“Common Shares”) to the public from time to time at the Company’s discretion and subject to regulatory requirements. The ATM Program will be effective until the date that all Common Shares available for issue under the ATM Program have been issued or the ATM Program is terminated prior to such date by the Company or the agents.

Wheaton intends that the net proceeds from the ATM Program, if any, will be available as one potential source of funding for stream acquisitions and/or other general corporate purposes including the repayment of indebtedness.

Each warrant entitled the holder the right to purchase one of the Company’s common shares. The warrants expired unexercised on February 28, 2023.

23.2. Share Purchase Options

The Company has established an equity settled share purchase option plan whereby the Company’s Board of Directors may, from time to time, grant options to employees or consultants. The maximum term of any share purchase option may be ten years, but generally options are granted with a term to expiry of five to seven years. The exercise price of an option is not less than the closing price on the TSX on the last trading day preceding the grant date. The vesting period of the options is determined at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors at the time the options are granted, but generally vest over a period of two or three years.

Each share purchase option converts into one common share of Wheaton on exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options do not carry rights to dividends or voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry, subject to certain black-out periods.

The Company expenses the fair value of share purchase options that are expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the vesting period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value for each option at the date of grant. The Black-Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions. The model requires the use of subjective assumptions, including expected share price volatility. Historical data has been considered in setting the assumptions. Expected volatility is determined by considering the trailing 30-month historic average share price volatility. The weighted average fair value of share purchase options granted and principal assumptions used in applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model are as follows:

23.3. Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”)

The Company has established an RSU plan whereby RSUs will be issued to eligible employees or directors as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors or the Company’s Compensation Committee. RSUs give the holder the right to receive a specified number of common shares at the specified vesting date. RSUs generally vest over a period of two to three years. Compensation expense related to RSUs is recognized over the vesting period based upon the fair value of the Company’s common shares on the grant date and the awards that are expected to vest. The fair value is calculated with reference to the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the TSX on the business day prior to the date of grant.

RSU holders receive a cash payment based on the dividends paid on the Company’s common shares in the event that the holder of a vested RSU has elected to defer the release of the RSU to a future date. This cash payment is reflected as a component of net earnings under the classification Share Based Compensation.

A continuity schedule of the Company’s restricted share units outstanding from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022 is presented below:

	Number of RSUs Outstanding		Weighted Average Intrinsic Value at Date Granted
At January 1, 2021		370,258		$22.40

Forfeited		(3,794)		39.95
At December 31, 2022		350,206		$31.25

23.4. Long-Term Investment Revaluation Reserve

The Company’s long-term investments in common shares (Note 18) are held for long-term strategic purposes and not for trading purposes. The Company has chosen to designate these long-term investments in common shares as financial assets with fair value adjustments being recorded as a component of OCI as it believes that this provides a more meaningful presentation for long-term strategic investments, rather than reflecting changes in fair value as a

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2022 ANNUAL REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [43]

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (US Dollars)

component of net earnings. As some of these long-term investments are denominated in Canadian dollars, changes in their fair value is affected by both the change in share price in addition to changes in the Cdn$/US$ exchange rate.

Where the fair value of a long-term investment in common shares held exceeds its tax cost, the Company recognizes a deferred income tax liability. To the extent that the value of the long-term investment subsequently declines, the deferred income tax liability is reduced. However, where the fair value of the long-term investment decreases below the tax cost, the Company does not recognize a deferred income tax asset on the unrealized capital loss unless it is probable that the Company will generate future capital gains that will offset the loss.

A continuity schedule of the Company’s long-term investment revaluation reserve from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022 is presented below:

(in thousands)		Change in Fair Value		Deferred Tax   Recovery (Expense)		Total

1) LTIs refers to long-term investments in common shares held.

24. Share Based Compensation

The Company’s share based compensation consists of share purchase options (Note 23.2), restricted share units (Note 23.3) and performance share units (Note 24.1). The accrued value of share purchase options and restricted share units are reflected as reserves in the shareholder’s equity section of the Company’s balance sheet while the accrued value associated with performance share units is reflected as an accrued liability.

24.1. Performance Share Units (“PSUs”)

The Company has established a Performance Share Unit Plan (“the PSU plan”) whereby PSUs will be issued to eligible employees as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors or the Company’s Compensation Committee. PSUs issued under the PSU plan entitle the holder to a cash payment at the end of a three year performance period equal to the number of PSUs granted, multiplied by a performance factor and multiplied by the fair market value of a Wheaton common share on the expiry of the performance period. The performance factor can range from 0% to 200% and is determined by comparing the Company’s total shareholder return to those achieved by various peer companies, the Philadelphia Gold and Silver Index and the price of gold and silver.

Compensation expense for the PSUs is recorded on a straight-line basis over the three year vesting period. The amount of compensation expense is adjusted at the end of each reporting period to reflect (i) the fair value of common shares; (ii) the number of PSUs anticipated to vest; and (iii) the anticipated performance factor.

25. Earnings per Share (“EPS”) and Diluted Earnings per Share (“Diluted EPS”)

Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the treasury method which assumes that outstanding share purchase options and warrants, with exercise prices that are lower than the average market price of the Company’s common shares for the relevant period, are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase shares of the Company at the average market price of the common shares for the relevant period.

Diluted EPS is calculated based on the following weighted average number of shares outstanding:

31. Post-Employment Benefit Costs

The Company sponsors a Group Registered Retirement Savings Plan (“RRSP”) for all qualified employees. Participants in the plan can elect to contribute up to 8% of their annual base salary and cash bonus, and the Company will contribute 125% of this amount, up to a maximum of 5/9ths of the RRSP dollar limit as established under the Income Tax Act (Canada). The assets of the Group RRSP are held separately from those of the Company in independently administered funds.

The Company has implemented an unregistered and unfunded defined contribution plan (known as the Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan, or the “SERP”) for all qualified employees. Under the terms of the SERP, benefits accumulate equal to 10% (or 15% for certain senior employees) of the employee’s base salary plus target bonus, less amounts contributed by the Company under the Group RRSP plan. Interest on this benefit accrues annually based on the 5-year Government of Canada bond rate. Any benefits under the SERP have a vesting period of five years from the first date of employment and will be paid out to the employee over a 10-year period, or at the employee’s election, a shorter period upon the employee’s retirement from the Company.

1) The production payment is measured as either a fixed amount per unit of metal delivered, or as a percentage of the spot price of the underlying metal on the date of delivery. Contracts where the payment is a fixed amount per unit of metal delivered are subject to an annual inflationary increase, with the exception of Loma de La Plata and Sudbury. Additionally, should the prevailing market price for the applicable metal be lower than this fixed amount, the per unit cash payment will be reduced to the prevailing market price.

2) Subject to an increase to $9.90 per ounce of silver and $550 per ounce of gold after the initial 40-year term.

3) 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. Currently, the fixed gold to silver exchange ratio is 70:1.

4) The Company is committed to purchase 4.5% of Stillwater palladium production until 375,000 ounces are delivered to the Company, thereafter 2.25% of Stillwater palladium production until 550,000 ounces are delivered to the Company and 1% of Stillwater palladium production thereafter for the life of mine.

The parties are currently in discussions in connection with a possible restructuring of the Minto PMPA and as a result, the cash payment per ounce of gold delivered will be maintained at 90% during the negotiation period, with the production payment for silver reverting to the price under the existing Minto PMPA. In the event that the parties are unable to agree to terms for the restructuring, the production payment for gold will remain as set out in the existing Minto PMPA, being 65% of spot price of gold.

12) Copper World Complex (formerly referred to as Rosemont in these financial statements).

13) Terms of the agreement not yet finalized.

Salobo

The Salobo mine historically had a mill throughput capacity of 24 Mtpa. In October 2018, Vale’s Board of Directors approved the investment in the Salobo Expansion, which is proposed to include a third concentrator line and will use Salobo’s existing infrastructure. Vale reports the Salobo Expansion successfully commenced at the end of 2022. The project consists of two lines, which will increase the mill throughput by 50%, the first of which started up in the fourth quarter of 2022 and the second expected to start in the first quarter of 2023.

Subsequent to year end, Wheaton and Vale agreed to amend the Salobo PMPA (“Amended Salobo PMPA”) to adjust the expansion payment terms. If actual throughput is expanded above 32 Mtpa by January 1, 2031, then under the terms of the Amended Salobo PMPA, Wheaton will be required to make additional set payments to Vale based on the size of the expansion and the timing of completion. The set payments range from a total of $283 million if throughput is expanded beyond 32 Mtpa by January 1, 2031, to up to $552 million if throughput is expanded beyond 35 Mtpa by January 1, 2024. In addition, Wheaton will be required to make annual payments of between $5.1 million to $8.5 million for a 10-year period following payment of the expansion payments if the Salobo mine implements a high-grade mine plan.

Fenix

Under the terms of the Fenix PMPA, the Company is committed to pay total cash consideration of $50 million, of which $25 million was paid on March 25, 2022. The remaining $25 million is payable subject to Rio2’s receipt of its Environmental Impact Assessment for the Fenix Project, and certain other conditions.

On June 28, 2022, Rio2 provided an update on the Fenix Gold environmental assessment process. The Environmental Assessment Service (“SEA”) published the Consolidation Evaluation Report with the recommendation to reject the EIA as it has been alleged that Rio2 has not provided enough information during the evaluation process to eliminate adverse impacts over the chinchilla, guanaco, and vicuña. On July 5, 2022, Rio2 announced that the Regional Evaluation Commission has voted to not approve the EIA. On September 7, 2022, Rio2 announced that on review of the Environmental Qualification Resolution (“RCA”), Rio2 identified numerous discrepancies with factual and procedural matters in the RCA and Rio2 has filed an administrative appeal on August 31, 2022. In parallel with the administrative appeal process, Rio2 indicate that they will work closely with regional authorities to address any remaining concerns. On September 7, 2022, Rio2 stated that the estimated timing for obtaining EIA approval is approximately one and a half to two years.

The Company’s management has determined that no indicator of impairment existed as of the balance sheet date and will continue to monitor Rio2’s response to the Regional Evaluation Commission decision.

Blackwater

Under the terms of the Blackwater Silver PMPA, the Company is committed to pay total upfront consideration of $141 million, which is payable in four equal installments during the construction of the Blackwater Project, subject to customary conditions being satisfied.

Canada Revenue Agency – Canada Revenue Agency – 2013 to 2016 Taxation Years - Domestic Reassessments

The Company received Notices of Reassessment in 2018, 2019, and 2022 for the 2013 to 2016 taxation years in which the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) is seeking to change the timing of the deduction of upfront payments with respect to the Company’s PMPAs relating to Canadian mining assets, so that the cost of precious metal acquired under these Canadian PMPAs is equal to the cash cost paid on delivery plus an amortized amount of the upfront payment determined on a units-of-production basis over the estimated recoverable reserves, and where applicable, resources and exploration potential at the respective mine (the “Domestic Reassessments”).

In total, the Company expects the Domestic Reassessments to have assessed tax, interest and other penalties of approximately $2 million.

Management believes the Company’s position, as reflected in its filed Canadian income tax returns and consistent with the terms of the PMPAs, that the cost of the precious metal acquired under the Canadian PMPAs is equal to the market value while a deposit is outstanding, and the cash cost thereafter, is correct. The Company has filed Notices of Objection and paid 50% of the disputed amounts in order to challenge the Domestic Reassessments.

Tax Contingencies

Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal and tax matters are outstanding from time to time, including audits and disputes.

Under the terms of the settlement with the CRA of the transfer pricing dispute relating to the 2005 to 2010 taxation years (the “CRA Settlement”), income earned outside of Canada by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries will not be subject to tax in Canada under transfer pricing rules. The CRA Settlement principles apply to all taxation years after 2010 subject to there being no material change in facts or change in law or jurisprudence. The CRA is not restricted under the terms of the CRA Settlement from issuing reassessments on some basis other than transfer pricing which could result in some or all of the income of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries being subject to tax in Canada.

It is not known or determinable by the Company when the currently ongoing audits by CRA of international and domestic transactions will be completed, or whether reassessments will be issued, or the basis, quantum or timing of any such potential reassessments, and it is therefore not practicable for the Company to estimate the financial effect, if any, of those ongoing audits.

From time to time there may also be proposed legislative changes to law or outstanding legal actions that may have an impact on the current or prior periods, the outcome, applicability and impact of which is also not known or determinable by the Company.

General

By their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events. If the Company is unable to resolve any of these matters favorably, there may be a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial performance, cash flows or results of operations. In the event that the Company’s estimate of the future resolution of any of the foregoing matters changes, the Company will recognize the effects of the change in its consolidated financial statements in the appropriate period relative to when such change occurs.

34. Subsequent Events

Declaration of Dividend

Under the Company’s dividend policy, the quarterly dividend per common share is targeted to equal approximately 30% of the average cash flow generated by operating activities in the previous four quarters divided by the Company’s then outstanding common shares, all rounded to the nearest cent. To minimize volatility in quarterly dividends, the Company has set a minimum quarterly dividend for the duration of 2023 equal to the dividend per common share declared in the prior quarter. The declaration, timing, amount and payment of future dividends remain at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

On March 9, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a dividend in the amount of $0.15 per common share, with this dividend being payable to shareholders of record on March 24, 2023 and is expected to be distributed on or about April 6, 2023. The Company has implemented a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) whereby shareholders can elect to have dividends reinvested directly into additional Wheaton common shares based on the Average Market Price, as defined in the DRIP.
