WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2024 THIRD QUARTER REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [6]


Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 (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.

Including the agreements closed after September 30, 2024 (Note 27), the Company has entered into 39 long-term agreements (31 of which are precious metal purchase agreements, or “PMPAs”, three of which are early deposit PMPAs, and five of which are royalty agreements), with 33 different mining companies, related to precious metals and cobalt relating to 18 mining assets which are currently operating, 24 which are at various stages of development and 4 which have been placed into care and maintenance or have been closed, located in 17 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 condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were authorized for issue as of November 7, 2024 in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors.

2.
Basis of Presentation and Statement of Compliance
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments 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 rounded to the nearest thousand US dollars (US$ 000’s) unless otherwise noted. References to “Cdn$” refer to Canadian dollars.

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The accounting policies applied in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are based on International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of application as disclosed in Note 3 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and were consistently applied to all the periods presented unless otherwise stated below. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and note disclosures required by IFRS for annual consolidated financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 requires the use of certain accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in Note 4.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 30, 2024 and the results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

3.
Material Accounting Policy Information
3.1.
New Accounting Standards Effective in 2024

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 complied with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of
WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2024 THIRD QUARTER REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [7]


Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 (US Dollars)


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 adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

3.2.
Future Changes to Accounting Policies

The IASB has issued the following new or amended standards:

IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements.
In April 2024, the IASB released IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements while carrying forward many of the requirements in IAS 1. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements to: i) present specified categories and defined subtotals in the statement of earnings, ii) provide disclosures on management-defined performance measures (MPMs) in the notes to the financial statements, iii) improve aggregation and disaggregation. Some of the requirements in IAS 1 are moved to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The IASB also made minor amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IAS 33 Earnings per Share in connection with the new standard. IFRS 18 requires retrospective application with specific transition provisions. The Company is required to apply IFRS 18 for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of IFRS 18 on its financial statements.

4.
Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty and Critical Accounting Judgments
The preparation of the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements 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 condensed interim consolidated financial statements are unchanged from those disclosed in Note 4 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

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 and satisfy its outstanding funding commitments while maintaining a high degree of financial flexibility to consummate new streaming investments.

The capital structure of the Company consists of debt (Note 16) and equity attributable to common shareholders, comprising of issued capital (Note 17), accumulated reserves (Note 18) 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 its sustainability-linked revolving credit facility (Note 16).

The Company is in compliance with the debt covenants at September 30, 2024, as described in Note 16.1.

5.2.
Categories of Financial Assets and Liabilities
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 other receivables are reported net of allowances for uncollectable amounts. The refundable deposit on the 777 PMPA, which requires a single principal payment at maturity, is carried at amortized cost, which approximates its fair value. 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 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, which approximate fair values due to the short terms to maturity. The following table summarizes the classification of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities:

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. 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 September 30, 2024 is considered to be negligible.

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 September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $694 million (December 31, 2023 - $547 million) and working capital of $682 million (December 31, 2023 - $541 million).

The Company holds equity investments of several companies (Note 15) with a combined market value at September 30, 2024 of $103 million (December 31, 2023 - $247 million). The daily exchange traded volume of these shares, including the shares underlying the warrants, may not be 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 and performance share units liability. 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.

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 Company monitors its exposure to interest rates and has not entered into any derivative contracts to manage this risk. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the weighted average effective interest
WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2024 THIRD QUARTER REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [11]


Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 (US Dollars)


rate paid by the Company on its outstanding borrowings was Nil. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 the weighted average interest rate earned on its cash deposits in interest bearing accounts was 5.20%, as compared to 5.12% and 4.62% in the comparable periods of the prior year.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, a fluctuation in interest rates of 100 basis points (1 percent) would not have impacted the amount of interest expensed by the Company.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, a fluctuation in interest rates of 100 basis points (1 percent) would have impacted the amount of interest earned by approximately $1 million and $3 million, respectively, as compared to $2 million and $5 million during the comparable periods of the prior year.

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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 would have increased/decreased by approximately $10 million and $20 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.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 (US Dollars)


When balances are outstanding, the Company’s bank debt (Note 16.1) is reported at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

5.8.1.
Valuation Techniques for Level 2 Assets
Accounts Receivable Arising from Sales of Metal Concentrates
The Company’s trade receivables from provisional concentrate sales are valued based on forward price of 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.

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.

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, 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
Effective January 1, 2024, the Company entered into an offtake agreement under which all cobalt is sold to a third party offtaker. Revenue from the cobalt sale is recognized at the time of the delivery, which is also the date that control of the cobalt is transferred to the offtaker.

Prior to January 1, 2024, cobalt was sold to a third-party sales agent who generally sold the cobalt to third party customers approved by Wheaton. Revenue from the sale of cobalt was recognized once the third-party customer and sales terms had been agreed to between Wheaton and the third-party sales agent, which was also the date that control of the cobalt was transferred to the third-party sales agent. Should the sales agent retain the cobalt for their own use, revenue was 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 commercial 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.

Acquisition of Cangrejos PMPA
On May 16, 2023, the Company entered into a PMPA (the “Cangrejos PMPA”) with Lumina Gold Corp. ("Lumina") in respect of its 100% owned Cangrejos gold-copper project located in El Oro Province, Ecuador. Under the terms of the agreement, Wheaton will purchase 6.6% of the payable gold production until 700,000 ounces of gold have been delivered, at which point the stream will be reduced to 4.4% of the payable gold production for the life of the mine. Under the terms of the Cangrejos PMPA, the Company is committed to pay Lumina total upfront cash payments of $300 million, $48 million of which is available pre-construction, with the remainder to be paid in staged equal installments during construction of the mine, subject to various customary conditions being satisfied. As it relates to the $48 million, payments will be made in installments, including (i) $12 million which was paid on closing; (ii) $10 million that was paid on November 22, 2023 (six months after closing); (iii) $9 million that was paid on May 31, 2024 (12 months after closing); (iv) $6 million payable on December 2, 2024 (modified from the original date of May 31, 2024) and (v) $11 million can be drawn upon for committed acquisition of surface rights, of which $8 million has been paid to date.

In addition, Wheaton will make ongoing production payments for the gold ounces delivered equal to 18% of the spot gold price until the value of gold delivered, net of the production payment, is equal to the upfront consideration of $300 million, at which point the production payment will increase to 22% of the spot gold price.

Amendment to the Blackwater Gold PMPA
On December 13, 2021, the Company acquired the existing gold stream in respect of gold production from the Blackwater Project (the “Blackwater Gold PMPA”). On June 14, 2023, the Company amended the Blackwater Gold PMPA. Under the terms of the amended agreement, the Company is entitled to purchase an amount of gold equal to 8% of the payable gold production until 464,000 ounces have been delivered (previously 279,908 ounces), with this threshold to increase should there be a delay in the anticipated timing of deliveries. Once the threshold has been achieved, the Company’s attributable gold production will drop to 4% of payable gold production for the life of the mine. In exchange for the amendment, the Company paid total upfront cash consideration of $40 million.

Acquisition of Existing Platreef & Kudz Ze Kayah PMPAs
On February 27, 2024, the Company closed the previously announced agreement with certain entities advised by Orion Resource Partners (“Orion”) to acquire existing streams in respect of Ivanhoe Mines’ Platreef Project (the “Platreef Streams”) and BMC Minerals’ Kudz Ze Kayah (“KZK”) Project (the “Kudz Ze Kayah Streams”). On February 27, 2024, the Company paid $450 million to Orion, with an additional $5 million contingency payment due to Orion if the KZK project achieves certain milestones.

The Platreef Project is located in Johannesburg, South Africa. Under the Platreef Gold PMPA, the Company is entitled to purchase 62.5% of the payable gold until a total of 218,750 ounces of gold has been delivered to the Company, at which point the Company will be entitled to purchase 50% of the payable gold production until a total of 428,300 ounces of gold has been delivered. Once the threshold has been achieved, the Company will be entitled to purchase 3.125% of the payable gold production if certain conditions are met. Under the Platreef Gold PMPA, the Company will make ongoing payments for the gold ounces delivered equal to $100 per ounce until a total of 428,300 ounces of gold have been delivered, increasing to 80% of the spot price of gold thereafter.

Under the Platreef palladium and platinum PMPA (the “Platreef PGM PMPA”), the Company is entitled to purchase 5.25% of the payable palladium and platinum production until a total of 350,000 ounces of combined palladium and platinum have been received. Once the threshold has been achieved, the stream will be reduced to 3.0% of the payable palladium and platinum production until 485,115 ounces have been delivered, at which point the stream will be reduced to 0.1% of the payable palladium and platinum production if certain conditions are met. Under the Platreef PGM PMPA, the Company will make ongoing payments for the palladium and platinum ounces delivered equal to

30% of the respective spot prices until 485,115 combined ounces have been received, increasing to 80% of the spot price of palladium and platinum thereafter.

The Kudz Ze Kayah stream is located in Yukon, Canada. Under the Kudz Ze Kayah PMPA (the “KZK PMPA”), the Company is entitled to purchase staged percentages of produced gold and produced silver ranging from 6.875% to 7.375% depending on the timing of such deliveries, until 330,000 ounces of gold and 43.30 million ounces of silver are produced and delivered, reducing to a range of 5.625% to 6.125% until a further 59,800 ounces of gold and 7.96 million ounces of silver are produced and delivered, further reducing to a range of 5.000% to 5.500% until a further 270,200 ounces of gold and 35.34 million ounces of silver are produced and delivered (for a total of 660,000 ounces of gold and 86.60 million ounces of silver), and thereafter ranging between 6.25% and 6.75%. Under the KZK PMPA, the Company will make ongoing payments for the gold and silver ounces delivered equal to 20% of the spot gold and silver price. Under the KZK PMPA, BMC Minerals has a buyback option to repurchase 50% of the stream for a period of 30 days after June 22, 2026, for $36 million.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2024 THIRD QUARTER REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [22]


Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 (US Dollars)


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.

Credit Facilities
16.1.
Sustainability-Linked Revolving Credit Facility
On June 25, 2024, 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 June 25, 2029.

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 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 September 30, 2024 and 2023.

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 2.15%; 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the stand-by fee rate was 0.1966% and 0.1985%, respectively, as compared to 0.20% during the comparable periods of the previous year.

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 $5 million unamortized debt issue costs which have been recorded as a long-term asset under the classification Other (see Note 24).

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 September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company has not issued any shares under the ATM program.

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 36-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:

18.2.
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.
WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2024 THIRD QUARTER REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [27]


Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 (US Dollars)


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.

18.3.
Long-Term Investment Revaluation Reserve
The Company’s long-term investments in common shares (Note 15) 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 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.

Share Based Compensation
The Company’s share based compensation consists of share purchase options (Note 18.1), restricted share units (Note 18.2) and performance share units (Note 19.1). 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.

19.1.
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 (“TSR”) to those achieved by various peer companies 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.

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:

Pillar II Tax Expense - Global Minimum Tax
On June 20, 2024, Canada’s Global Minimum Tax Act (“GMTA”), received royal assent. The GMTA enacts the OECD Pillar Two model rules (“Pillar Two”) where in scope companies are subject to a 15% global minimum tax (GMT) for fiscal years commencing on or after December 31, 2023. With the enactment of the GMTA on June 20, 2024, the income of the Company’s Cayman Island subsidiaries, who have a statutory tax rate of 0%, is subject to the GMTA. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 an amount of $28 million current tax expense associated with GMT was recorded (nine months - $78 million). GMT accrued to December 31, 2024 is payable on or before June 30, 2026 (18 months following year-end) and accordingly is classified as non-current.

To date, the government of the Cayman Islands has indicated that they do not intend to enact Pillar Two legislation.

2)
Other includes capital assets, PSU and pension liabilities.
3)
Debt and share financing fees are deducted over a five-year period for Canadian income tax purposes. For accounting purposes, debt financing fees are deducted over the term of the credit facility and share financing fees are charged directly to issued capital.
4)
The Company’s position, as reflected in its filed Canadian income tax returns and consistent with the terms of the PMPAs, is that the cost of the precious metal acquired under the Canadian PMPAs is equal to the market value while a deposit is outstanding (where applicable to an agreement), and the cash cost thereafter. For accounting purposes, the cost of the mineral stream interests is depleted on a unit-of-production basis as described in Note 12.

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.
2)
Under certain PMPAs, the Company’s attributable metal percentage will be reduced once certain thresholds are achieved:

a.
Stillwater – reduced to 2.25% once the Company has received 375,000 ounces of palladium, with a further reduction to 1% once the Company has received 550,000 ounces.

b.
Platreef – reduced to 3% once the Company has received 350,000 ounces of combined palladium and platinum, with a further reduction to 0.1% once the Company has received a combined 485,115 ounces, at which point the per ounce cash payment increases to 80% of the spot price of palladium and platinum. If certain thresholds are met, including if production through the Platreef project concentrator achieves 5.5 Mtpa, the 0.1% residual palladium and platinum stream will terminate.

c.
Marathon – reduced to 15% once the Company has received 120,000 ounces of platinum.

d.
Voisey’s Bay – reduced to 21.2% once the Company has received 31 million pounds of cobalt.

Salobo
The Salobo mine historically had a mill throughput capacity of 24 Mtpa and is currently ramping up to full capacity of 36 Mtpa, expected in the fourth quarter of 2024. On November 21, 2023, the Company and Vale jointly announced the successful completion of the throughput test for the first phase of the Salobo III expansion project, with the Salobo complex exceeding an average throughput of 32 Mtpa over a 90-day period. As a result, Wheaton paid Vale $370 million on December 1, 2023, representing the amount due for completion of the first phase of the Salobo III expansion project.
The remaining balance of the expansion payment is dependent on the timing of completion and will be triggered once Vale expands actual throughput above 35 Mtpa for a period of 90 days. If actual throughput is expanded above 35 Mtpa by January 1, 2031, Wheaton will be required to make additional payments to Vale based on the size of the expansion and the timing of completion. The set payments range from a total of $52 million if throughput is expanded beyond 35 Mtpa by January 1, 2031, to up to $163 million if throughput is expanded beyond 35 Mtpa by January 1, 2025.
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, with payments to be made for each year the high-grade plan is achieved.

Taxes – 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 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.

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.

Subsequent Events
Declaration of Dividend
Under the Company’s dividend policy, the quarterly dividend is fixed at $0.155 per common share. The declaration, timing, amount and payment of future dividends remain at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

On November 7, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a dividend in the amount of $0.155 per common share, with this dividend being payable to shareholders of record on November 21, 2024 and is expected to be distributed on or about December 6, 2024. 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.


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

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

The Company has also provided Montage with a secured debt facility of up to $75 million.

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

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

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