NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND 2016

(unaudited, expressed in millions of U.S. dollars except share and per share amounts)

Note 1 – Corporate information

Franco-Nevada Corporation (“Franco-Nevada” or the “Company”) is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act. The Company is a gold-focused royalty and stream company with additional interests in silver, platinum group metals, oil & gas and other resource assets. The majority of revenues are generated from a diversified portfolio of properties in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Peru, Chile, Australia and Africa. At September 30, 2017,  the portfolio includes approximately 340 assets covering properties at various stages from production to early stage exploration.

The Company’s shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange and the Company is domiciled in Canada. The Company’s head and registered office is located at 199 Bay Street, Suite 2000, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

 Note 2 – Significant accounting policies

(a)Basis of presentation

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of condensed interim financial statements, including IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 and were prepared using the same accounting policies, method of computation and presentation as were applied in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016. These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on November 3, 2017.

The financial information included herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Seasonality is not considered to have a significant impact over the condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Taxes on income in the interim period have been accrued using the tax rates that would be applicable to expected total annual income.

(b)New and amended standards adopted by the Company

The following standard was effective and implemented for the annual period as of January 1, 2017.

IAS 12 Income Taxes

IAS 12 Income Taxes provides guidance on the recognition of deferred tax assets. In January 2016, the IASB issued amendments to clarify the requirements for recognizing deferred tax assets on unrealized losses. The amendments clarify the accounting for deferred tax where an asset is measured at fair value and that fair value is below the asset’s tax base. They also clarify certain other aspects of accounting for deferred tax assets. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. The Company has adopted the amendments to IAS 12 in its financial statements for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2017. The adoption of the amendments did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

IFRS Interpretations Committee on interest and penalties related to income taxes

In September 2017, the IFRS Interpretation Committee (IC) issued an agenda decision on interest and penalties related to income taxes. The agenda decision clarifies that if an entity considers that a particular amount payable or receivable for interest and penalties is an income tax, IAS 12 Income Taxes is applied to that amount. If an entity does not apply IAS 12 to an amount payable or receivable for interest and penalties, it applies IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets to that amount. The agenda decision was effective immediately and did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

(c)New accounting standards issued but not yet effective

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

On July 24, 2014, the IASB published the final version IFRS 9 Financial Instruments which brings together the classification, measurement, impairment and hedge accounting phases of the IASB’s project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 includes a loss impairment model, amends the classification and measurement model for financial assets by adding a new fair value through comprehensive income category for certain debt instruments and provides additional guidance on how to apply the business model and contractual cash flow characteristics test. This final version of IFRS 9 supersedes all previous versions of IFRS 9 and is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company is

2017 Third Quarter Financial Statements

currently assessing the impact of IFRS 9 on the consolidated financial statements. Based on its assessment to date, the Company expects the following impacts from the adoption of IFRS 9:

"

The Company will have the option to designate equity securities as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, where they will be recorded initially at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income which will not be subsequently transferred into earnings (loss). If the Company does not make this election, changes in fair value of the equity securities be will recognized in earnings (loss).

"

The Company will be required to evaluate its financial assets for impairment based on an expected credit loss model, rather than an incurred loss model currently being applied under IAS 39. The Company’s financial assets which are currently subject to credit risk include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables and loan receivables. The Company holds one loan receivable from Noront Resources Ltd. The loan receivable is carried at amortized cost and has a carrying value of $29.6 million at September 30, 2017.

"

Under IAS 39, investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured can currently be measured at cost. This cost exemption is not available under IFRS 9. The Company holds one equity investment at cost, with a carrying value of $4.2 million at September 30, 2017.

"

The reformed approach to hedge accounting is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new standard provides a comprehensive framework for recognition, measurement and disclosure of revenue from contracts with customers, excluding contracts within the scope of the standards on leases, insurance contracts and financial instruments. IFRS 15 becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 and is to be applied retrospectively with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of reviewing its material contracts for each of its material revenue categories and completing its assessment of the impact of IFRS 15 on the consolidated financial statements. The Company expects to report more detailed information, including estimated quantitative financial impacts, if material, in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

In June 2017, the IFRS Interpretation Committee issued IFRIC 23, which clarifies how the recognition and measurement requirements of IAS 12 Income Taxes are applied where there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. IFRIC 23 becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 and is to be applied retrospectively with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of IFRIC 23 on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Acquisitions and other transactions

(a)

Acquisition of Additional Stream and Update on the Cobre Panama Project - Panama

The Company has a precious metals stream agreement for First Quantum Minerals Ltd.’s (“First Quantum”) Cobre Panama project (“Cobre Panama”). The project, which is located in Panama, is in the construction phase. Under the terms of the agreement, Franco-Nevada will provide a deposit of $1.0 billion against future deliveries of gold and silver from Cobre Panama. The deposit is funded on a pro-rata basis of 1:3 with First Quantum’s 80% share of the capital costs in excess of $1.0 billion.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company funded $72.4 million and $175.0 million, respectively, towards the stream, for a cumulative total of $637.2 million of its maximum $1.0 billion commitment. Capitalized costs for the Cobre Panama project of $642.7 million are included in royalty, stream and working interests on the statement of financial position as at September 30, 2017.

In addition, on September 7, 2017, the Company announced it had agreed to terms with First Quantum to purchase an additional precious metals stream from the Cobre Panama project for a purchase price of $178 million, of which one-third will be syndicated to CEF Holdings Limited.  The purchase price will be paid as a one-time advance payment, of which Franco-Nevada is expected to fund $119.3 million upon closing of the transaction, which is expected to close by the end of the year. No additional pro-rata funding commitments will apply to the additional stream.  The terms of the additional stream, other than the ongoing price, will mirror the existing stream on the Cobre Panama project, including initially linking precious metals deliveries to copper in concentrate shipped.

On October 16, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement to purchases a royalty portfolio in the Delaware Basin, which represents the western portion of the Permian Basin for $109.8 million.   The royalties are derived principally from mineral title which provides a perpetual interest in royalty lands.  The transaction will have an effective date of October 1, 2017 and is expected to close in February 2018. The Company advanced approximately $11.0 million into escrow subsequent to the quarter end in respect to this transaction.  The purchase price is subject to title due diligence.

(d)

Acquisition of Additional of U.S. Oil & Gas Royalties – STACK, Oklahoma

On June 30, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase for $27.6 million, a second package of mineral titles in the core of the Sooner Trend, Anadarko Basin, Canadian and Kingfisher counties (“STACK”) shale play in Oklahoma from a private company. The transaction closed on November 1, 2017.  The Company has the right to royalties on production beginning from June 1, 2017. As at September 30, 2017, the Company advanced $2.8 million to an escrow account. The deposit is included in royalty, stream and working interests on the statement of financial position as at September 30, 2017. The remaining $24.8 million was funded on November 1, 2017.

(e)

Acquisition of U.S. Oil & Gas Royalties – Midland Basin, Texas

On March 13, 2017, Franco-Nevada, through a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, entered into an agreement to purchase a royalty portfolio in the Midland Basin of West Texas for $110.0 million. Following completion of due diligence, the first part of the portfolio was acquired for $89.8 million and closed on May 24, 2017.  The second part of the portfolio closed on August 8, 2017.  The total purchase price is approximately $115.0 million including adjustments for title due diligence and the acquisition of the second part of the portfolio.

(f)

Acquisition of Railroad Royalty – Carlin Trend, Nevada

On May 26, 2017, Franco-Nevada, through a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, acquired an existing 1% NSR on certain claims that comprise the Railroad deposit located on the Carlin Trend in north-central Nevada for cash consideration of $0.9 million.

All of the above acquisitions that have closed have been accounted for as asset acquisitions.

Non-current investments

These investments comprise: (i) equity interests in various public and non-public entities which the Company acquired through the open market or through transactions; (ii) warrants in various publicly-listed companies; and (iii) a loan receivable extended to Noront Resources Ltd. as part of the Company’s acquisition of royalty rights in the Ring of Fire mining district of Ontario, Canada, in April 2015.

Equity investments have been designated as available-for-sale and, as a result, have been recorded at fair value. One equity investment of a non-public entity, having a carrying value of $4.2 million (December 31, 2016 - $3.8 million), has been designated as an equity investment held at cost as no reliable estimate of fair value can be determined because there is no publicly available information with which to estimate future cash flows, associated operating costs or capital expenditures and no alternative active market. Management does not intend to dispose of the investment and expects to recover the carrying value through the payment of dividends.

The loan receivable has been designated as loans and receivables and is carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

The unrealized gains on available-for-sale investments recognized in other comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:

Note 8 - Fair value measurements

Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. For some assets and liabilities, observable market transactions or market information might be available. For other assets and liabilities, observable market transactions and market information might not be available. However, the objective of a fair value measurement in both cases is the same — to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset or to transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e. an exit price at the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability).

The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

 

The Gold Investment that WORKS

Franco-Nevada Corporation

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rate and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, forward pricing curves used to value currency and commodity contracts and volatility measurements used to value option contracts), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Fair Values of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The fair values of the Company’s remaining financial assets and liabilities, which include receivables, loan receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature and historically negligible credit losses and/or fair value of collateral. 

The Company has not offset financial assets with financial liabilities.

The valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value are as follows:

(a)Cash and cash equivalents

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, including interest bearing deposits, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets. 

(b)Short-term investments 

The fair value of interest bearing cash deposits and treasury bills is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets.

(c)Receivables

The fair values of receivables arising from gold and platinum group metal sales contracts that contain provisional pricing mechanisms are determined using the appropriate quoted forward prices from the exchange that is the principal active market for the particular metal. As such, these receivables are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

 

 

 

10

2017 Third Quarter Financial Statements

FNV TSX NYSE

 


 

 

 

(d)Investments

The fair values of publicly-traded investments, including available-for-sale equity investments, are determined based on a market approach reflecting the closing prices of each particular security at the statement of financial position date. The closing prices are quoted market prices obtained from the exchange that is the principal active market for the particular security, and therefore are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair values of warrants are estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model which requires the use of inputs that are observable in the market. As such, these investments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

(e)Royalty, stream, and working interests

The fair values of royalty, stream, and working interests are determined primarily using a market approach using unobservable discounted future cash-flows. As a result, the fair values are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Note 9 – Revolving term credit facilities

(a)Credit Facility - $1.0 billion 

The Company has a five year $1.0 billion unsecured revolving term credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). On March 22, 2017, the Company amended its Credit Facility by extending the term from November 12, 2020 to March 22, 2022.

Advances under the Credit Facility can be drawn as follows:

U.S. dollars

Base rate advances with interest payable monthly at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (“CIBC”) base rate, plus between 0.20% and 1.20% per annum depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio; or

LIBOR loans for periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months with interest payable at a rate of LIBOR, plus between 1.20% and 2.20% per annum, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.

Canadian dollars

Prime rate advances with interest payable monthly at the CIBC prime rate, plus between 0.20% and 1.20% per annum, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio; or

Bankers’ acceptances for a period of 30 to 180 days with a stamping fee calculated on the face amount between 1.20% and 2.20%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.

All loans are readily convertible into loans of other types, described above, on customary terms and upon provision of appropriate notice. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and are unsecured.

The Credit Facility is subject to a standby fee of 0.24% to 0.44% per annum, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, even if no amounts are outstanding under the Credit Facility.

As at September 30, 2017, there was no balance (December 31, 2016 – $nil)  outstanding under the Credit Facility. 

As at September 30, 2017,  a balance of $2.9 million related to debt issue costs is remaining to be amortized over the remaining term of the Credit Facility (December 31, 2016 – $2.2 million). The unamortized debt issue costs associated with the Credit Facility are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets (Note 6), and other non-current assets (Note 7)

(b)FNBC Credit Facility - $100.0 million

On March 20, 2017, the Company’s subsidiary, Franco-Nevada (Barbados) Corporation (“FNBC”), entered into an unsecured revolving term credit facility (the “FNBC Credit Facility”). The FNBC Credit Facility provides for the availability over a one-year period of up to $100.0 million in borrowings. The FNBC Credit Facility has a maturity date of March 20, 2018. FNBC has the option of requesting, during a period of time before each anniversary date, up to two additional one-year extensions of the maturity. These requests are subject to approval from the lenders.

Advances under the FNBC Credit Facility can be drawn as follows:

·

Base rate advances with interest payable monthly at the CIBC base rate, plus 0.35% per annum; or

·

LIBOR loans for periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months with interest payable at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.35% per annum.

All loans are readily convertible into loans of other types on customary terms and upon provision of appropriate notice.

The FNBC Credit Facility is subject to a standby fee of 0.27% per annum, even if no amounts are outstanding.
