Franco-Nevada Reports Record Q1 Results

Dividend Increased for 12th Consecutive Year

Ongoing Board and Succession Planning

“Franco-Nevada’s diversified portfolio performed very well in the first quarter delivering record revenue and net income,” stated David Harquail, CEO.  “We expect even stronger numbers in the second half as Cobre Panama begins its initial deliveries, Candelaria returns to normal operations and our U.S. energy royalties continue to grow.  It is a testament to both the portfolio and our business model that today Franco-Nevada has increased its dividend for the 12th consecutive year adding to the over $1 billion of dividends already paid.”

Pierre Lassonde, Chair, added: “I would like to welcome Jennifer Maki who was elected today at our AGM as the newest member of the Franco-Nevada board.  Jennifer is the former CEO of Vale Canada and Executive Director of Vale Base Metals and is a Chartered Professional Accountant.  She brings a depth of mining and financial experience to our board.  On a separate note, today at the AGM, I announced my intention to step down as Chair at the next annual meeting in May 2020. At that point, I will have served as chair for over 12 years.  Both announcements are part of an orderly and long-term succession planning process being led by the board.”

The portfolio is actively managed to maintain a focus on precious metals (gold, silver and PGM) with a target of no more than 20% from energy.  Geographically, revenue was sourced 81.6% from the Americas  (41.7% Latin America, 18.3% U.S. and 21.6% Canada).

Corporate Updates

· Board of Directors:  Franco-Nevada’s board is leading an orderly and long-term succession process.  At today’s AGM, Jennifer Maki was elected to the board.  She has served as Chief Executive Officer of Vale Canada and Executive Director of Vale Base Metals (2014 to 2017) and previously held several other positions with Vale Base Metals and is a Chartered Professional Accountant.  Pierre Lassonde has served as Chair of Franco-Nevada since 2007 and has announced his intention to step down as Chair at the next annual meeting in May 2020.  These two announcements are unrelated.

· Salares Norte:    On January 31, 2019, Franco-Nevada, through a wholly-owned Chilean subsidiary, acquired an existing 2% NSR on Gold Fields’ Salares Norte gold project in the Atacama region of northern Chile for $32.0 million, comprised of $27.0 million of Franco-Nevada common shares (366,499 common shares) and $5.0 million in cash. Gold Fields has an option to buy back 1% of the NSR for $6.0 million within 24 months of commercial production. 

· Valentine Lake:    On February 21, 2019, Franco-Nevada acquired a 2% NSR on Marathon Gold Corporation’s (“Marathon”) Valentine Lake Gold Camp in central Newfoundland for C$18.0 million. Marathon has an option to buy back 0.5% of the NSR for $7.0 million until December 31, 2022.  

Q1/2019 Portfolio Updates

· Mining — Latin America: GEOs from Latin American mining assets were stable year-over-year, with 57,546 GEOs earned compared to 57,854 GEOs in Q1/2018. While deliveries from Candelaria increased significantly year-over-year, the impact was mostly offset by lower production from Antapaccay and Antamina.

· Cobre Panama (gold and silver stream)  – The operator, First Quantum, reports that ore milling has begun and 25 tonnes of copper concentrate were produced.  First Quantum reiterated its production guidance of 140,000 to 175,000 tonnes of copper for Cobre Panama for 2019.  It expects the operation to be milling at an annualized rate of 72 mtpy by year end.  First Quantum also released a technical report in March that projects the operation reaching a milling throughput of 100 mtpy in 2023.  Franco-Nevada’s precious metals streams are tied to copper produced.

· Candelaria (gold and silver stream) – GEOs earned from Candelaria in the quarter were higher due to the processing of higher grade ore.  The operation is expected to benefit substantially in the second half from over $1 billion in fleet purchases, stripping and development.    

· Antapaccay (gold and silver stream) – GEOs earned from Antapaccay were lower as expected with the life of mine plan.

· Antamina (22.5% silver stream) – GEOs earned from Antamina were lower as expected in the life of mine plan.  

· Cerro Moro (2% royalty) – Cerro Moro began production in 2018.  Franco-Nevada will benefit from the first full year of production in 2019.  An aggressive drill program is planned to delineate near-mine targets. 

· Guadalupe-Palmarejo (50% gold stream)  – GEOs sold in Q1/2019 were down year-over-year as less mining occurred on Franco-Nevada stream lands.  Development at the La Nación deposit, located between the Independencia and Guadalupe mines and predominantly on stream lands, remains on-schedule with production expected in the second half of 2019.    

· Mining — U.S.:  GEOs from U.S. mining assets decreased by 5.0% in Q1/2019 compared with Q1/2018 mainly due to lower payments from Fire Creek/Midas and South Arturo, partly offset by strong production from Stillwater. GEOs received from the U.S. mining assets were 17,558 GEOs.

· Goldstrike (2-4% royalty & 2.4-6% NPI); Gold Quarry (7.29% royalty)  – Barrick and Newmont’s joint venture in Nevada is expected to realize synergies.  This could positively impact the NPI royalty at Goldstrike.

· Rosemont (1.5% royalty) – Hudbay announced in March 2019 the receipt of the final key federal permit outstanding allowing the company to advance Rosemont towards construction.    Hudbay subsequently announced that it has reached an agreement to purchase United Copper & Moly LLC’s 7.95% interest in the project and terminate the earn-in and off-take rights.  Franco-Nevada’s royalty is on all metals produced. 

· South Arturo (4-9% royalty) – Joint venture operators Barrick and Premier Gold continue to advance the construction of the El Nino underground and Phase 1 open pit.  A small amount of production is expected in 2019 with more meaningful production expected in 2020.

· Stillwater (5% royalty) – Sibanye-Stillwater is forecasting PGM production between 645,000-675,000 ounces for 2019 as the Blitz project continues to ramp-up.  Blitz is anticipated to increase total PGM production from Stillwater by more than 50% to approximately 850,000 ounces per year by late 2021 or early 2022.

2

· Fire Creek/Midas (2.5% royalty) – The fixed delivery requirement for Fire Creek/Midas was met in 2018.  The new operator, Hecla, has placed the Midas mine on care and maintenance with more focus being placed on increasing production from Fire Creek.

· Mining — Canada:  GEOs from Canadian mining assets increased 53.6% in Q1/2019 to 21,581 GEOs compared with Q1/2018 mainly due to the resumption of mining at Sudbury’s McCreedy mine.

· Sudbury (50% precious metals stream) – KGHM announced that it has resumed mining the PM zone at the McCreedy mine which contains higher grade precious metal ore.  As part of the revised arrangements with KGHM, Franco-Nevada has agreed to increase its ongoing cost to $800 per GEO delivered from McCreedy until December 31, 2021.  The increase in deliveries from McCreedy will be partially offset going forward by plans to put the Levack mine on care and maintenance at the end of March 2019.

· Brucejack (1.2% royalty) – Pretium provided an updated mine plan for the Brucejack operation in April 2019.  The updated plan assumes average annual production of over 525,000 ounces of gold over the first 10 years and over 440,000 ounces of gold over the 14-year mine life.  The mine passed the 503,386 gold ounce production threshold in December 2018 which triggered the start of royalty payments to Franco-Nevada.

· Hardrock (3% royalty) – The Hardrock project received provincial government approval in March 2019 which follows receipt of the federal approval in December 2018.  The joint venture partners will continue to advance permitting including construction permit applications and additional drilling for the balance of 2019.

· Kirkland Lake (1.5-5.5% royalty & 20% NPI) – The Macassa mine produced a record 72,776 ounces during the quarter, an increase of 35% from Q1/2018.  Kirkland Lake continues to advance the construction of the #4 Shaft at the Macassa mine.  Kirkland Lake has the goal of increasing production at Macassa to over 400,000 ounces per year over the next five to seven years.

· Musselwhite (5% NPI) – An underground fire at the end of March 2019 caused the operation to be suspended.  Newmont, the new operator, is expected to give an update on the integration of the Goldcorp assets during the second quarter of 2019 with potentially more information regarding the re-opening of Musselwhite.

· Golden Highway (0.25–10% royalty) – Franco-Nevada and Kirkland Lake amended the royalty agreement on the Holloway property to a fixed 3% NSR royalty versus the previous sliding scale royalty. Kirkland Lake is now targeting approximately 20,000 ounces of production in 2019, growing to approximately 50,000 ounces by 2021.  Previously, the Holloway mine was on care and maintenance.

· Mining — Rest of World: GEOs from Rest of World mining assets were 25,364 GEOs during the quarter,  remaining stable compared to Q1/2018.

· Subika (2% royalty) – Newmont declared commercial production at the Subika Underground in Q4/2018.  The second major project, the Ahafo Mill expansion, is expected to have first production and declare commercial production in the second half of 2019.

· Duketon (2% royalty) – Regis Resources commenced underground development below the current Rosemont open pit and delineated a maiden mineral reserve of 123,000 ounces.

· Ity (1–1.5% royalty)  – Franco-Nevada has a 1.5% royalty on the project until 35 tonnes of gold are produced.  With Endeavour’s increased production forecast for 2019, this threshold may be met by the end of the year.

· Agi Dagi (2% royalty) – Alamos received its operating permit for Kirazli (not subject to our royalty) and expects to start earthworks at the project.  When Kirazli is constructed, the development focus is expected to shift to Agi Dagi.

· Tasiast (2% royalty) – The Phase One (12,000 tpd) expansion is complete.  Phase Two activities are paused as Kinross continues to analyze expansion options and engages in discussions with the Government of Mauritania.

· Energy:  Revenue from the energy assets increased to $20.8 million in Q1/2019 compared to $19.0 million in Q1/2018,  reflecting the additional contributions from new investments in the SCOOP/STACK and positive year-over-year production from the Permian interests.  This was partially offset by lower revenue from our Canadian assets.

· SCOOP/STACK (Continental) (various royalty rates)  –The Royalty Acquisition Venture is having good success at acquiring additional royalties.    In Q1/2019, Franco-Nevada recorded contributions of $51.4 million to the Royalty Acquisition Venture and its remaining commitment over the next three years is $206.8 million. Revenue in  Q1/2019 totalled $2.8 million.

· SCOOP/STACK (Other) (various royalty rates) – These assets generated $2.7 million in revenue in Q1/2019 versus $2.2 million in Q1/2018, due to an increase in volumes from new wells on royalty lands.  Encana is now a significant operator over our STACK royalty lands.

3

· Permian (various royalty rates) – Franco-Nevada’s interests in the Permian Basin earned revenue of $4.5 million in Q1/2019 versus $3.7 million in Q1/2018, reflecting the addition of the Delaware royalties, an increase in volumes from new wells and proceeds received from prior periods.

· Weyburn (NRI, ORR, WI)  – Weyburn contributed $7.3 million in revenue in Q1/2019 versus $10.1 million in Q1/2018.  Revenues in the quarter were affected by lower realized prices and increased capital spending at the operation.  Through 2019, realized prices are expected to improve as a result of a more balanced market in western Canada and capital spending at Weyburn is expected to be lower.

· Orion (4% GORR) – Orion generated  $1.7 million in revenue in Q1/2019 versus $0.8 million in Q1/2018.  While production volume was significantly higher, revenue was negatively impacted by price differentials and government mandated volume curtailments.  These issues are expected to improve over the balance of 2019.

Dividend Declaration 

Franco-Nevada is pleased to announce that its board of directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share.  The dividend is a 4.2% increase from the previous $0.24 per share quarterly dividend and marks the 12th consecutive annual dividend increase for Franco-Nevada shareholders.  Canadian investors in Franco-Nevada’s IPO in December 2007 are now receiving an effective 8.9% yield on their cost base.  The dividend will be paid on June 27, 2019 to shareholders of record on June 13, 2019 (the “Record Date”).  The Canadian dollar equivalent is to be determined based on the daily average rate posted by the Bank of Canada on the Record Date.  Under Canadian tax legislation, Canadian resident individuals who receive “eligible dividends” are entitled to an enhanced gross-up and dividend tax credit on such dividends.

The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “DRIP”). Participation in the DRIP is optional. The Company will issue additional common shares through treasury at a 3% discount to the Average Market Price, as defined in the DRIP. However, the Company may, from time to time, in its discretion, change or eliminate the discount applicable to treasury acquisitions or direct that such common shares be purchased in market acquisitions at the prevailing market price, any of which would be publicly announced. The DRIP and enrollment forms are available on the Company’s website at www.franco-nevada.com. Canadian and U.S. registered shareholders may also enroll in the DRIP online through the plan agent’s self-service web portal at www.investorcentre.com/franco-nevada. Canadian and U.S. beneficial shareholders should contact their financial intermediary to arrange enrollment.  During Q2/2018, the Company amended and restated the DRIP to allow for certain non-Canadian and non-U.S. shareholders to participate in the DRIP, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.  Non-Canadian and non-U.S. shareholders should contact the Company to determine whether they satisfy the necessary conditions to participate in the DRIP.

This press release is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer of securities.

NON-IFRS MEASURES:  Cash Costs, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.  These measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS.  Other companies may calculate these measures differently. For a reconciliation of these measures to various IFRS measures, please see below or the Company’s current MD&A disclosure found on the Company’s website, on SEDAR and on EDGAR. Comparative information has been recalculated to conform to current presentation.

1 GEOs include our gold, silver, platinum, palladium and other mining assets. GEOs are estimated on a gross basis for NSR royalties and, in the case of stream ounces, before the payment of the per ounce contractual price paid by the Company. For NPI royalties, GEOs are calculated taking into account the NPI economics. Platinum, palladium, silver and other minerals are converted to GEOs by dividing associated revenue, which includes settlement adjustments, by the relevant gold price. The gold price used in the computation of GEOs earned from a particular asset varies depending on the royalty or stream agreement, which may make reference to the market price realized by the operator, or the average for the month, quarter, or year in which the mineral was produced or sold. For Q1/2019, the average commodity prices were as follows: $1,304 gold (2018 - $1,329), $15.57 silver (2018 - $16.77), $823 platinum (2018 - $978) and $1,435 palladium (2018 - $1,035).

2 Cash Costs attributable to GEO production and Cash Costs per GEO are non-IFRS financial measures. Cash Costs attributable to GEO production is calculated by starting with total costs of sale and excluding depletion and depreciation, costs not attributable to GEO production such as our Energy operating costs, and other non-cash costs of sales such as costs related to our prepaid gold purchase agreement. Cash Costs is then divided by GEOs sold, excluding prepaid ounces, to arrive at Cash Costs per GEO.

3 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share are non-IFRS financial measures, which exclude the following from net income and earnings per share (“EPS”): income tax expense/recovery; finance expenses; finance income; depletion and depreciation; non-cash costs of sales; impairment charges related to royalty, stream and working interests and investments; gains/losses on sale of royalty interests; gains/losses on investments; and foreign exchange gains/losses and other income/expenses.

4 Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share are non-IFRS financial measures, which exclude the following from net income and EPS: foreign exchange gains/losses and other income/expenses; impairment charges related to royalty, stream and working interests and investments; gains/losses on sale of royalty interests;  gains/losses on investments; unusual non-recurring items; and the impact of income taxes on these items.

2019 First Quarter Management’s Discussion and Analysis 2

Overview 

Franco-Nevada is the leading gold-focused royalty and streaming company with the largest and most diversified portfolio of royalties and streams by commodity, geography, revenue type and stage of project.  The portfolio is actively managed to maintain a focus on precious metals (gold, silver and PGM) and a diversity of revenue sources with a target of not more than 20% from energy (oil, gas and NGLs). 

Franco-Nevada Asset Count at May 8, 2019
	Mining	Energy	TOTAL
Producing	51	55	106
Advanced	37	—	37
Exploration	202	25	227
TOTAL	290	80	370

Franco-Nevada’s shares are listed on the Toronto and New York stock exchanges under the symbol FNV.  An investment in Franco-Nevada’s shares is expected to provide investors with yield and exposure to commodity price and exploration optionality while limiting exposure to many of the risks of operating companies. Since its Initial Public Offering over eleven years ago, Franco-Nevada has increased its dividend annually and its share price has outperformed the gold price and all relevant gold equity benchmarks. 

2019 First Quarter Management’s Discussion and Analysis 3

Strategy

Franco-Nevada’s revenue is generated from various forms of agreements, ranging from net smelter return royalties, streams, net profits interests, net royalty interests, working interests and other types of arrangements.  

The Company does not operate mines, develop projects or conduct exploration.  Franco-Nevada’s business model is focused on managing and growing its portfolio of royalties and streams. The advantages of this business model are:

· Exposure to commodity price optionality;

· A perpetual discovery option over large areas of geologically prospective lands; 

· No additional capital requirements other than the initial investment;

· Limited exposure to many of the risks associated with operating companies; 

· A free cash-flow business with limited cash calls;

· A high-margin business that can generate cash through the entire commodity cycle;

· A scalable and diversified business in which a large number of assets can be managed with a small stable overhead; and

· A forward-looking business in which management focuses on growth opportunities rather than operational or development issues.

Franco-Nevada’s financial results in the short-term are primarily tied to the price of commodities and the amount of production from its portfolio of producing assets. Financial results have also been supplemented by acquisitions of new producing assets.  Over the longer-term, results are impacted by the availability of exploration and development capital applied by other companies to expand or extend Franco-Nevada’s producing assets or to advance Franco-Nevada’s advanced and exploration assets into production.

Franco-Nevada has a long-term investment outlook and recognizes the cyclical nature of the industry. Franco-Nevada has operated by maintaining a strong balance sheet so that it can make investments during commodity cycle downturns. 

Franco-Nevada actively manages its portfolio to maintain a focus on precious metals (gold, silver and PGM) and a diversity of revenue sources with a target of not more than 20% from energy (oil, gas and NGLs). In the short-term, we may diverge from the long-term target based on opportunities available. In Q1/2019,  88.4% of revenue was earned from gold and gold equivalents and 11.6% from energy assets.

One of the strengths of the Franco-Nevada business model is that our business is not generally impacted when producer costs increase as long as the producer continues to operate. Royalty and stream payments/deliveries are based on production levels with no adjustments for the operator’s operating costs, with the exception of NPI and NRI royalties, which are based on the profit of the underlying operation. Profit-based royalties accounted for approximately 5.3% of total revenue in Q1/2019.

Gold Fields has an option to buy back 1% of the NSR for $6.0 million within 24 months of the commencement of commercial production.

Acquisition of U.S. Oil & Gas Royalty Rights with Continental Resources, Inc. – SCOOP and STACK, Oklahoma

The Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, has a strategic relationship with Continental Resources, Inc. (“Continental”) to acquire, through a jointly-owned entity (the “Royalty Acquisition Venture”), royalty rights in the SCOOP and STACK plays of Oklahoma. The acquisition pace has been favorable so far this year, and as at March 31, 2019, Franco-Nevada recorded contributions of  $51.4 million to the Royalty Acquisition Venture. Of this, $38.2 million was funded by March 31, 2019, with the remaining $13.2 million included in accounts payable at the end of the period. As at March 31, 2019, the total cumulative investment in the Royalty Acquisition Venture totaled  $313.2 million and Franco-Nevada has remaining commitments of up to$206.8 million to be funded over three years by December 31, 2021. 

Significant Portfolio Updates

Additional updates related to our portfolio of assets are available in our News Release issued on May 8, 2019, available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, and EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

Cobre Panama

First Quantum Minerals Ltd. reported that first ore was introduced to the mill and 25 tonnes of copper concentrate was produced during the quarter. The project remains on schedule to deliver between 140,000 and 175,000 tonnes in 2019 with approximately 80% of total production expected in the second half of the year. The mine is expected to be running at an annualized rate of 72 million tonnes per year by year end.

Franco-Nevada continues to expect deliveries from Cobre Panama to be between 20,000 and 40,000 GEOs in 2019.

__________________________

1GEOs include production from our Mining assets, and do not include Energy assets. GEOs are estimated on a gross basis for NSR royalties and, in the case of stream ounces, before the payment of the per ounce contractual price paid by the Company. For NPI royalties, GEOs are calculated taking into account the NPI economics. Silver, platinum, palladium and other mining commodities are converted to GEOs by dividing associated revenue, which includes settlement adjustments, by the relevant gold price. The price used in the computation of GEOs earned from a particular asset varies depending on the royalty or stream agreement, which may make reference to the market price realized by the operator, or the average price for the month, quarter, or year in which the mining commodity was produced or sold. For illustrative purposes, please refer to the average commodity price table on page 9 of this MD&A for indicative prices which may be used in the calculation of GEOs for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

2Cash Costs, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, and Margin are non-IFRS financial measures with no standardized meaning under IFRS. For further information and a detailed reconciliation, please see the “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” section of this MD&A.

3The Company defines working capital as current assets less current liabilities.

2019 First Quarter Management’s Discussion and Analysis 5

Financing

Credit Facilities

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company paid down $50.0 million of the $210.0 million it had outstanding at December 31, 2018 under its $1.0 billion credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). As at March 31, 2019, $160.0 million remains outstanding.  The drawdowns were primarily to fund Franco-Nevada’s initial contribution to the Royalty Acquisition Venture in October 2018.  Subsequent to quarter-end, on April 17, 2019, the Company entered into an unsecured, one-year term credit facility (the “Term Loan”) in the amount of $160.0 million. Proceeds were used to repay the amount outstanding under the Credit Facility, such that as at the date of this MD&A, the full $1.0 billion is available to the Company.  The Term Loan was drawn as a one-month LIBOR loan with interest payable at a rate of LIBOR plus 0.85%, and matures April 17, 2020.

In Q1/2019, the Company amended its Credit Facility to extend the term from March 22, 2023 to March 22, 2024 and reduce the applicable margins and standby fee, which depend on the Company’s leverage ratio. The maturity of the Franco‑Nevada (Barbados) Corporation credit facility (the “FNBC Credit Facility”) was also extended by an additional year to March 20, 2020.

Dividend Increase

Franco-Nevada is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share to be payable on June 27, 2019 to shareholders of record on June 13, 2019. The dividend is a 4.2% increase from the previous $0.24 per share quarterly dividend and marks the 12th consecutive annual dividend increase for Franco-Nevada shareholders.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019,  dividends declared of $0.24 per share totaled $44.9 million, of which $34.9 million was paid in cash and $10.0 million was paid in common shares issued under the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”).

Guidance

The following contains forward-looking statements. Reference should be made to the “Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Information” section at the end of this MD&A. For a description of material factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements below, please see the “Cautionary Statement” and the “Risk Factors” section of our most recent Annual Information Form filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities on www.sedar.com and our most recent Form 40-F filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on www.sec.gov. 2019 guidance is based on assumptions including the forecasted state of operations from our assets based on the public statements and other disclosures by the third-party owners and operators of the underlying properties (subject to our assessment thereof).

The Company is on track to meet its previously announced guidance for its mining and energy segments, respectively, as follows: 

	2019 Guidance	Q1/2019 Actual	Q1/2018 Actual
Gold & Gold Equivalent production(1),(2)	465,000 - 500,000 GEOs	122,049 GEOs	115,671 GEOs
Energy revenue(3)	$70.0 - $85.0 million	$20.8 million	$19.0 million

1Of the  465,000 to 500,000 GEOs, Franco-Nevada expects to receive 305,000 to 335,000 GEOs under its various streams.  For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company earned 80,227 GEOs from its streams.

2In forecasting GEOs for 2019, gold, silver, platinum and palladium metals have been converted to GEOs using commodity prices of $1,300 Au, $15.25 Ag, $825 Pt and $1,500 Pd. 

3In forecasting revenue from Energy assets for 2019,  the WTI oil price is assumed to average $55 per barrel.

The Company has estimated depletion and depreciation expense to be between $245.0 million to $275.0 million for the full year 2019. In Q1/2019, depletion and depreciation expense totaled $60.9 million, with an estimated $185.0 million to $215.0 million for the remainder of 2019. 

With respect to the Royalty Acquisition Venture held with Continental,  the Company is expecting to contribute, subject to satisfaction of agreed upon development thresholds, up to $100 million in 2019. The acquisition pace has been favorable so far this year, and as at March 31, 2019, the Company recorded contributions of  $51.4 million.

Market Overview

The prices of precious metals, gold in particular, are the largest factors in determining profitability and cash-flow from operations for Franco-Nevada. Historically, the price of gold has been subject to volatile price movements and is affected by numerous macroeconomic and industry factors that are beyond the Company’s control. Major influences on the gold price include the level of interest rates, inflation expectations, currency exchange rate fluctuations including the relative strength of the U.S. dollar, and the supply of and demand for gold.

Commodity price volatility also impacts the number of GEOs when converting non-gold commodities to GEOs. Silver, platinum, palladium and other mining commodities are converted to GEOs by dividing associated revenue, which includes settlement adjustments, by the relevant gold price. The price used in the computation of GEOs earned from a particular asset varies depending on the royalty or stream agreement, which may make reference to the market price realized by the operator, or the average price for the month, quarter, or year in which the mining commodity was produced or sold.

2019 First Quarter Management’s Discussion and Analysis 6

During Q1/2019, gold prices averaged $1,304/oz, down 1.9% compared to the Q1/2018 average of $1,329/oz. Gold prices ended Q1/2019 at $1,295/oz, approximately 1.3% lower than at the end of Q4/2018.

Silver prices averaged $15.57/oz in Q1/2019, a decrease of 7.2% compared to $16.77/oz in Q1/2018. Platinum and palladium prices averaged $823/oz and $1,435/oz, respectively, in Q1/2019, compared to $978/oz and $1,035/oz, respectively, for Q1/2018, a decrease of 15.8% and an increase of 38.6% year-over-year, respectively.

During the quarter, Edmonton Light prices averaged C$67.52/bbl, down 6.8%  compared to Q1/2018, while WTI averaged $54.91/bbl, a 12.7% decrease from Q1/2018.

2019 First Quarter Management’s Discussion and Analysis 9

Revenue for Q1/2019 was $179.8 million, up 3.9% from Q1/2018, and comprised $159.0 million from Mining assets, and $20.8 million from Energy assets. Mining revenue increased 3.2% year-over-year due to an increase in GEOs earned, partly offset by lower average realized prices. Energy revenue also increased year-over-year, up 9.5% compared to the same period in 2018.

Mining assets contributed 88.4% of the Company’s total revenue in Q1/2019, compared to 89.0% in Q1/2018. Geographically, the Company remains heavily invested in the Americas, with 81.6% of revenue in Q1/2019, compared to 80.6% in Q1/2018.  

GEO Production 

2019 First Quarter Management’s Discussion and Analysis 10

GEOs produced in Q1/2019 totaled 122,049 ounces, compared to 115,671 GEOs in Q1/2018.  The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the following assets:

· Candelaria– 20,249 GEOs were earned from the Company’s Candelaria stream, representing  an increase of 43.9% from 14,075 GEOs earned in Q1/2018, as the mine resumes normal operations following the wall pit slide that occurred in late 2017.    

· Sudbury–8,444 GEOs were delivered from Sudbury, more than double the 3,365 GEOs received in Q1/2018. The Sudbury assets comprise the McCreedy West and Levack-Morrison mines. Although the Levack-Morrison mine was placed on care in maintenance at the end of March, the impact for 2019 is expected to be offset by the production from McCreedy West which restarted operations in the second half of 2018.  

· Hemlo–5,013 GEOs were earned from Hemlo, compared to 2,011 GEOs in Q1/2018, primarily from the NPI royalty.

· Stillwater –7,102 GEOs were earned from Stillwater, an increase of 59.5% compared to 4,453 GEOs earned in the same period in 2018.  Royalties from Stillwater benefited from both an increase in volumes as the Blitz project continues to ramp-up and higher palladium prices resulting in a higher conversion to GEOs.

The above increases were partly offset by the following:

· Antapaccay–17,916 GEOs were earned from the Antapaccay stream, a decrease of 17.7% from 21,766 GEOs in Q1/2018.  The year-over-year decrease was expected as part of Antapaccay’s 2019 life of mine plan.

· Antamina–9,446 GEOs were earned from the Antamina stream, a decrease of 19.7% from 11,760 GEOs in Q1/2018.  Revenue was lower year-over-year as expected based on the 2019 life of mine plan, and was also impacted by lower silver prices compared to the 2018 period.

· Musselwhite–Revenue from the Musselwhite royalty was negative in Q1/2019, due to the reversal of an overaccrual of royalties from 2018. Musselwhite is an NPI royalty with payments fluctuating based on operating and capital expenditures, and is subject to estimates from the Company.

Energy Revenue

Energy assets generated revenue of $20.8 million (92% oil and 8% gas) for the quarter, an increase of 9.5%  compared to $19.0 million (97% oil and 3% gas) in Q1/2018.  While Energy revenue benefited from the Company’s investment in the Royalty Acquisition Venture with Continental, the incremental revenue from the SCOOP/STACK Continental assets was mostly offset by lower revenue from Weyburn.  

Revenue from the Weyburn Unit during the quarter decreased to $7.3 million from $10.1 million in Q1/2018, primarily due to higher operating expenditures and lower average realized prices, and comprised the following:  $4.6 million earned from the NRI (Q1/2018 - $6.8 million), $2.3 million earned from the WI (Q1/2018 - $2.7 million) and $0.4 million earned from the ORRs (Q1/2018 - $0.6 million). While capital expenditures were stable year-over-year, operating expenditures increased 24.1% in Q1/2019 compared to Q1/2018 due to increased workovers. The actual realized price from the NRI decreased 2.8% in Q1/2019, at C$62.41/boe, compared to C$64.19/boe for Q1/2018. 

Orion contributed $1.7 million in revenue in Q1/2019  (Q1/2018 - $0.8 million), reflecting improved differentials and expansions to production capacity.  

U.S. assets represented 48.1% of Franco-Nevada’s Energy revenue, and performed well in Q1/2019.  The SCOOP/STACK royalty portfolio generated $2.7 million in Q1/2019  (Q1/2018 - $2.2 million), while assets from the Permian Basin, which include the Midland and Delaware portfolios, produced $4.5 million in revenue (Q1/2018 - $3.7 million), reflecting the addition of the Delaware portfolio of royalties and higher volumes.  Revenue from the SCOOP/STACK Continental royalties contributed an incremental $2.8 million in Q1/2019, for which there is no comparative in the same period in 2018.  

2019 First Quarter Management’s Discussion and Analysis 11

Costs of Sales

The following table provides a breakdown of cost of sales incurred in the periods presented:

	For the three months ended March 31,
(expressed in millions)	2019		2018		Variance
Cost of stream sales	$	30.4	$	27.0	$	3.4
Cost of prepaid ounces		—		1.9		(1.9)
Mineral production taxes		0.6		0.3		0.3
Mining operating costs	$	31.0	$	29.2	$	1.8
Energy operating costs		1.4		1.0		0.4
	$	32.4	$	30.2	$	2.2

Stream ounces sold increased 3.2% in Q1/2019 to 80,227 GEOs, compared to 77,724 GEOs in Q1/2018,  primarily due to increased deliveries from the Candelaria and Sudbury streams. The increase in cost of sales relating to these stream ounces increased to a greater extent, up 12.6% compared to Q1/2018, as ounces from the McCreedy West stream carry a higher cash payment per ounce relative to other streams. Cost of prepaid ounces was nil in Q1/2019, as Fire Creek/Midas met its fixed delivery requirements in 2018.  

Depletion and Depreciation

Depletion and depreciation expense totaled $60.9 million in Q1/2019, relatively stable compared to $60.6 million in Q1/2018. 

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the quarter was $13.0 million in Q1/2019  (Q1/2018 - $13.5 million), comprised of a current income tax expense of $9.7 million (Q1/2018 - $7.4 million) and a deferred income tax expense of $3.3 million (Q1/2018 - $6.1 million).  The total tax expense remained stable year-over-year, in line with income.

2019 First Quarter Management’s Discussion and Analysis 12

Net Income

Net income for Q1/2019 was $65.2 million, or $0.35 per share, compared to net income of  $64.6 million, or $0.35 per share, for the same period in 2018. Adjusted Net Income, which adjusts for foreign exchange gains and losses and other income and expenses, among other items, was $65.2 million, or $0.35 per share, compared to $63.9 million, or $0.34 per share, earned in Q1/2018.  

General and Administrative Expenses

The following table provides a breakdown of general and administrative expenses incurred for the periods presented:

	For the three months ended March 31,
(expressed in millions)	2019		2018		Variance
Salaries and benefits	$	1.9	$	1.8	$	0.1
Professional fees		0.5		0.3		0.2
Office costs		0.1		0.2		(0.1)
Board of Directors' costs		0.8		(0.6)		1.4
Share-based compensation		1.4		1.2		0.2
Other		2.2		2.3		(0.1)
	$	6.9	$	5.2	$	1.7

General and administrative expenses represented 3.8% of revenue for Q1/2019, and 3.0% of revenue in Q1/2018.  General and administrative expenses, which include business development costs, vary depending upon the level of business development related activity and the timing of completing transactions.

Board of Directors’ fees vary according to the mark-to-market of the value of deferred share units (“DSUs”) that are granted to the directors of the Company. The Company’s share price increased during Q1/2019, resulting in an increase in the DSU liability and the recognition of a mark-to-market expense, while the share price decreased during Q1/2018, resulting in a decrease in the liability and a recovery of expenses.  

Other Income and Expenses

Foreign Exchange and Other Income/Expenses

The following table provides a list of foreign exchange and other income/expenses incurred for the periods presented:

	For the three months ended March 31,
(expressed in millions)	2019		2018		Variance
Foreign exchange gain (loss)	$	—	$	0.5	$	(0.5)
Other income		—		0.1		(0.1)
	$	—	$	0.6	$	(0.6)

Under IFRS, all foreign exchange gains or losses related to monetary assets and liabilities held in a currency other than the functional currency are recorded in net income as opposed to other comprehensive income. The parent company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar, while the functional currency of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar.

Other income includes dividend income on certain of the Company’s equity investments.

Finance Income and Finance Expenses

The following table provides a breakdown of finance income and expenses incurred for the periods presented:

	For the three months ended March 31,

3 Based on LBMA Gold Price PM Fix.

4 GEOs include our gold, silver, platinum, palladium and other mining assets, and do not include Energy assets. GEOs are estimated on a gross basis for NSR royalties and, in the case of stream ounces, before the payment of the per ounce contractual price paid by the Company. For NPI royalties, GEOs are calculated taking into account the NPI economics. Silver, platinum, palladium and other mining commodities are converted to GEOs by dividing associated revenue, which includes settlement adjustments, by the relevant gold price. The price used in the computation of GEOs earned from a particular asset varies depending on the royalty or stream agreement, which may make reference to the market price realized by the operator, or the average price for the month, quarter, or year in which the mining commodity was produced or sold. For illustrative purposes, please refer to the average commodity price table on page 9 of this MD&A for indicative prices which may be used in the calculation of GEOs for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

2019 First Quarter Management’s Discussion and Analysis 14

Assets

Total assets were $5,005.1 million at March 31, 2019 compared to $4,931.8 million at December 31, 2018. Our asset base is primarily comprised of non-current assets such as our royalty, stream and working interests, and equity investments, while our current assets primarily comprise cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The decrease of $5.6 million during Q1/2019 is due to the funding of the Royalty Acquisition Venture with Continental, the acquisition of the Salares Norte and Valentine Lake royalties, the $50.0 million partial repayment of the Credit Facility, and the payment of our quarterly dividends, which exceeded our operating cash flows.  The increase in non-current assets is due to an increase in the fair value of our investments, and additions to our royalties, streams and working interests, net of depletion.  

Liabilities

Total liabilities as at March 31, 2019 decreased to  $276.6 million from $299.9 million at December 31, 2018,  reflecting the partial repayment of the Credit Facility. Total liabilities at March 31, 2019 also include $13.2 million in accounts payable for contributions to the Royalty Acquisition Venture accrued in Q1/2019 but paid in April 2019.  

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity increased by $96.6 million as at March 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018, reflecting net income of $65.2 million, a gain on the fair value of Company’s investments of $22.9 million, and a gain of $14.0 million in currency translation adjustment in Q1/2019. The Company also issued $27.0 million in common shares as partial consideration for the acquisition of the Salares Norte royalty. Declared dividends reduced shareholders’ equity by $44.9 million,  partly settled through the issuance of $10.0 million in common shares pursuant to the Company’s DRIP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:

	For the three months ended
	March 31,
(expressed in millions)	2019		2018
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	143.6	$	137.5
Net cash used in investing activities		(56.3)		(523.2)
Net cash used in financing activities		(84.7)		(36.1)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents		0.3		(1.6)
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	2.9	$	(423.4)

Operating Cash Flow

Net cash generated by operating activities was $143.6 million and $137.5 million in Q1/2019 and Q1/2018, reflecting higher Mining and Energy revenue in the most recent quarter.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $56.3 million in Q1/2019 compared to $523.2 million in Q1/2018. Investing activities in Q1/2019 included funding of  $38.2 million for the Royalty Acquisition Venture with Continental, and the acquisition of the Salares Norte and Valentine Lake royalties. Comparatively, investing activities in the Q1/2018 period included the ongoing funding of the Cobre Panama Fixed Payment Stream deposit and the acquisition of the Floating Payment Stream for $356.0 million. Acquisitions in Q1/2018 also included the Delaware portfolio of oil and gas royalties.

Financing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, financing activities resulted in an outflow of $84.7 million, primarily reflecting the partial repayment of the Credit Facility of $50.0 million, and payment of cash dividends of $34.9 million. This compares to an outflow of $36.1 million in the first quarter of 2018 primarily for the payment of cash dividends.  

Capital Resources

As at March 31, 2019, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $72.6 million (December 31, 2018 - $69.7 million). In addition, we held long-term investments at March 31, 2019 of $197.6 million (December 31, 2018 - $169.7 million), of which $159.9 million was held in publicly-traded equity instruments (December 31, 2018 - $132.8 million).

As at March 31, 2019,  the Credit Facility had $160.0 million in borrowings outstanding. Advances under the Credit Facility bear interest depending upon the currency of the advance and the Company’s leverage ratio. Funds are generally drawn using LIBOR 30-day rates plus 100 basis points. The Credit Facility has a term of March 22, 2024. Subsequent to quarter-end, the amount outstanding of $160.0 million was refinanced through a one-year unsecured term loan, such that the available balance at the date of this MD&A is $1.0 billion. The Term Loan is due on April 17, 2020 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 85 basis points.

2019 First Quarter Management’s Discussion and Analysis 15

An additional amount of $100.0 million is available under the FNBC Credit Facility, with a maturity date of March 20, 2020. Funds are generally drawn using LIBOR rates plus 135 basis points.

As at May 8, 2019, the aggregate amount available under the two credit facilities is $1.1 billion.

Management’s objectives when managing capital are to:

(a) ensure the preservation and availability of capital not being used for long-term investments by investing in low risk investments with high liquidity; and

(b) ensure that adequate levels of capital are maintained to meet the Company’s operating requirements and other current liabilities.

As at March 31, 2019, the majority of funds were held in cash deposits with several financial institutions. Franco-Nevada invests its excess funds in term deposits. Certain investments with maturities upon acquisition of three months, or 92 days or less, were classified as term deposits with cash and cash equivalents on the statement of financial position.

Our performance is impacted by foreign currency fluctuations of the Canadian dollar and Australian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. The largest exposure is with respect to the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rates as we hold a significant amount of our assets in Canada and report our results in U.S. dollars.  The effect of volatility in these currencies against the U.S. dollar impacts our corporate administration, business development expenses and depletion on Mining and Energy interests incurred in our Canadian and Australian entities due to their respective functional currencies. During Q1/2019, the Canadian dollar traded in a range of $0.7353 to $0.7637, closing the quarter at $0.7483, and the Australian dollar traded between $0.7270 and $0.6973,  closing the quarter at $0.7100.

Our near-term cash requirements include funding of our commitments towards the Royalty Acquisition Venture with Continental,corporate administration costs, certain costs of operations, payment of dividends and income taxes directly related to the recognition of royalty and stream revenues.  As a royalty and stream company, there are limited requirements for capital expenditures other than for the acquisition of additional royalties or streams and capital commitments for our working interests. Such acquisitions are entirely discretionary and will be consummated through the use of cash, as available, or through the issuance of common shares or other equity or debt securities, or use of our credit facilities. We believe that our current cash resources, available credit facilities and future cash flows will be sufficient to cover the costs of our commitments, operating and administrative expenses, and dividend payments for the foreseeable future.

As at March 31, 2019, the total remaining commitment was $206.8 million.

2019 First Quarter Management’s Discussion and Analysis 17

Contingencies

CRA Review

The Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) is conducting an audit of Franco-Nevada’s 2012-2015 taxation years. 

As previously disclosed,  in 2018, the Company received a letter from the CRA (the “CRA Letter”) in which it proposed to reassess the Company’s 2013 taxation year for tax, interest and penalties in relation to the Company’s Mexican subsidiary.  The Company subsequently received a Notice of Reassessment (the “Reassessment”) from the CRA for the 2013 taxation year in accordance with the CRA Letter.  The Reassessment assesses the Company for additional Federal and provincial income taxes of C$10.7 million ($7.9 million) plus interest and applicable penalties but before any relief under the Canada-Mexico tax treaty. 

For the 2013 taxation year, the Company’s Mexican subsidiary paid 154.3 million Pesos ($12.1 million) in cash taxes, at a 30% tax rate, to the Mexican tax authorities on income earned in Mexico.  

Management believes that the Company has filed its tax returns and paid all applicable taxes in compliance with Canadian and Mexican tax laws and as a result, no amounts have been recorded in the financial statements of the Company for the Reassessment or for any potential tax liability that may arise in respect of this matter. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position and if required, seek relief from double taxation under the Canada-Mexico tax treaty.

The CRA audit is ongoing and there can be no assurance that the CRA will not further challenge the manner in which the Company and its foreign subsidiaries has filed its income tax returns and reported its income.  In the event that the CRA successfully challenges the manner in which the Company has filed its tax returns and reported its income, this could potentially result in additional income taxes, penalties and interest, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

CriticalAccountingEstimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s best knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances, having regard to previous experience. However, actual outcomes may differ from the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements.

Our significant accounting policies and estimates are disclosed in Notes 2 and 3 of our most recent annual consolidated financial statements.

New and Amended Standards Adopted by the Company

The following standard was effective and implemented for the annual period as of January 1, 2019.

IFRS 16 Leases

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company has adopted IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”). IFRS 16 requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases. The new standard was applied using a modified retrospective approach whereby the effects of the change in accounting policies for leases as at January 1, 2019 are presented together as a single adjustment to the opening balance of deficit. Therefore, the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 17 Leases (“IAS 17”).

As permitted under transitional provisions, the Company has elected to use the following practical expedients:

· Not to separate non-lease from lease components, and instead account for each lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component.

· Not to recognize right-of-use assets and associated liabilities for low value assets or lease terms of 12 months or less.

· Measure its right-of-use assets at amounts equal to the associated lease liabilities; as such, the adjustment to deficit on transition is nil.

The Company’s significant lease arrangements relate to its office premises. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets of $2.8 million within other assets on the statement of financial position, measured at an amount equal to the related lease liability, discounted using a weighted average incremental borrowing rate of 4.55% at January 1, 2019.

IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company has adopted IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments (“IFRIC 23”). IFRIC 23 clarifies how to apply the recognition and measurement requirements of IAS 12 Income Taxes when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The application of IFRIC 23 did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2019 First Quarter Management’s Discussion and Analysis 18

New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective

Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations

In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to the definition of a business in IFRS 3 Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”). The amendments are intended to assist entities to determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition. The amendments clarify the minimum requirements for a business, remove the assessment of whether market participants are capable of replacing any missing elements, add guidance to help entities assess whether an acquired process is substantive, narrow the definitions of a business and of outputs, and introduce an optional fair value concentration test. The amendments to IFRS 3 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 and apply prospectively. Earlier application is permitted. The Company expects the application of the amendments to result in more acquisitions being accounted for as asset acquisitions. 

Outstanding Share Data

Franco-Nevada is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common and preferred shares.  A detailed description of the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to each class of authorized shares is included in our most recent Annual Information Form, a copy of which can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and in our Form 40-F, a copy of which can be found on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

As of May 8, 2019, the number of common shares outstanding or issuable pursuant to other outstanding securities is as follows:

Common Shares	Number

1. There were 994,568 stock options under our share compensation plan outstanding to directors, officers, employees and others with exercise prices ranging from C$31.39 to C$100.10 per share.

Franco-Nevada has not issued any preferred shares.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining Franco-Nevada’s internal control over financial reporting and other financial disclosure and our disclosure controls and procedures.

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.  Franco-Nevada’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of Franco-Nevada; (ii) are designed to 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 Franco-Nevada are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of Franco-Nevada; and (iii) are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Franco-Nevada’s assets that could have a material effect on Franco-Nevada’s financial statements. Internal control over other financial disclosure is a process designed to ensure that other financial information included in this MD&A, fairly represents in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Franco-Nevada for the periods presented in this MD&A.

Franco-Nevada’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to Franco-Nevada, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to management by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is prepared and that information required to be disclosed by Franco-Nevada in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by it under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation.

Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting and other financial disclosure may not prevent or detect all 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 change.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, there has been no change in Franco-Nevada’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Franco-Nevada’s internal control over financial reporting.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

Cash Costs attributable to GEO production and Cash Costs per GEO

Cash Costs  attributable to GEO production and Cash Costs per GEO are non-IFRS financial measures. Cash Costs are calculated by starting with total costs of sales and removing depletion and depreciation, costs not attributable to GEO production such as our Energy operating costs, and other non-cash costs of sales such as costs related to our prepaid gold purchase agreement. Cash Costs per GEO are calculated by dividing Cash Costs by the number of GEOs sold in the period, excluding prepaid GEOs.  

Management uses Cash Costs and Cash Costs per GEO to evaluate the Company’s ability to generate positive cash flow from its mining royalty, stream and working interests. Management and certain investors also use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance relative to peers in the mining industry who present this measure on a similar basis. Cash Costs and Cash Costs per GEO are only intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. They do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS, and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

Cash Costs per GEO	$	254	$	241

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share are non-IFRS financial measures, which exclude the following from net income and earnings per share (“EPS”):

· Income tax expense/recovery;

· Finance expenses;

· Finance income;

· Depletion and depreciation;

· Non-cash costs of sales;

· Impairment charges related to royalty, stream and working interests;

· Impairment of investments;

· Gains/losses on sale of royalty, stream and working interests;

· Gains/losses on investments;

· Foreign exchange gains/losses and other income/expenses; and

· Unusual non-recurring items.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share to evaluate the underlying operating performance of the Company as a whole for the reporting periods presented, to assist with the planning and forecasting of future operating results, and to supplement information in its financial statements. Management believes that in addition to measures prepared in accordance with IFRS such as Net Income and EPS, our investors and analysts use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share to evaluate the results of the underlying business of the Company, particularly since the excluded items are typically not included in our guidance, with the exception of depletion and depreciation expense. While the adjustments to net income and EPS in these measures include items that are both recurring and non-recurring, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share are useful measures of the Company’s performance because they adjust for items which may not relate to or have a disproportionate effect on the period in which they are recognized, impact the comparability of our core operating results from period to period, are not always reflective of the underlying operating performance of our business and/or are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share are only intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. They do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS, and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

Margin

Margin is a non-IFRS financial measure which is defined by the Company as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. The Company uses Margin in its annual incentive compensation process to evaluate management’s performance in increasing revenue and containing costs. Margin is intended to provide additional information, does not have any standardized definition under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for a measure of performance in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share are non-IFRS financial measures, which exclude the following from net income and EPS:

· Impairment charges related to royalty, stream and working interests;

· Impairment of investments;

· Gains/losses on sale of royalty, stream and working interests;

This MD&A contains “forward-looking information” and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws and the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, respectively, which may include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to future events or future performance, management’s expectations regarding Franco-Nevada’s growth, results of operations, estimated future revenues, carrying value of assets, future dividends and requirements for additional capital, mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates, production estimates, production costs and revenue, future demand for and prices of commodities, expected mining sequences, business prospects and opportunities, audits being conducted by the CRA and available remedies, and the remedies relating to and consequences of the ruling of the Supreme Court of Panama in relation to the Cobre Panama project. In addition, statements (including data in tables) relating to reserves and resources and gold equivalent ounces are forward-looking statements, as they involve implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, and no assurance can be given that the estimates and assumptions are accurate and that such reserves and resources and GEOs will be realized. Such forward-looking statements reflect management’s current beliefs and are based on information currently available to management. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budgets”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “predicts”, “projects”, “intends”, “targets”, “aims”, “anticipates” or “believes” or variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases or may be identified by statements to the effect that certain actions “may”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Franco-Nevada to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. A number of factors could cause actual events or results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement, including, without limitation: fluctuations in the prices of the primary commodities that drive royalty and stream revenue (gold, platinum group metals, copper, nickel, uranium, silver, iron-ore and Energy); fluctuations in the value of the Canadian and Australian dollar, Mexican Peso and any other currency in which revenue is generated, relative to the U.S. dollar; changes in national and local government legislation, including permitting and licensing regimes and taxation policies and the enforcement thereof; regulatory, political or economic developments in any of the countries where properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest are located or through which they are held; risks related to the operators of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest, including changes in the ownership and control of such operators; influence of macroeconomic developments; business opportunities that become available to, or are pursued by Franco-Nevada; reduced access to debt and equity capital; litigation; title, permit or license disputes related to interests on any of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest; whether or not the Company is determined to have “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) status as defined in Section 1297 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; potential changes in Canadian tax treatment of offshore streams; excessive cost escalation as well as development, permitting, infrastructure, operating or technical difficulties on any of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest; access to sufficient pipeline capacity; actual mineral content may differ from the reserves and resources contained in technical reports; rate and timing of production differences from resource estimates, other technical reports and mine plans; risks and hazards associated with the business of development and mining on any of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest, including, but not limited to unusual or unexpected geological and metallurgical conditions, slope failures or cave-ins, flooding and other natural disasters, terrorism, civil unrest or an outbreak of contagious disease; and the integration of acquired assets. The forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are based upon assumptions management believes to be reasonable, including, without limitation: the ongoing operation of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest by the owners or operators of such properties in a manner consistent with past practice; the accuracy of public statements and disclosures made by the owners or operators of such underlying properties; no material adverse change in the market price of the commodities that underlie the asset portfolio; the Company’s ongoing income and assets relating to determination of its PFIC status; no material changes to existing tax treatment; the expected application of tax laws and regulations by taxation authorities; the expected assessment and outcome of any audit by any taxation authority; no adverse development in respect of any significant property in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest; the accuracy of publicly disclosed expectations for the development of underlying properties that are not yet in production; integration of acquired assets; and the absence of any other factors that could cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. However, there can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Franco-Nevada cannot assure investors that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein. For additional information with respect to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, please refer to Franco-Nevada’s most recent Annual Information Form filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities on www.sedar.com and Franco-Nevada’s most recent Annual Report filed on Form 40-F filed with the SEC on www.sec.gov. The forward-looking statements herein are made as of the date of this MD&A only and Franco-Nevada does not assume any obligation to update or revise them to reflect new information, estimates or opinions, future events or results or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

2019 First Quarter Financial Statements 5

Franco-Nevada Corporation

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

(unaudited, expressed in millions of U.S. dollars and shares, except 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 royalty and stream company focused on precious metals (gold, silver, and platinum group metals) and a diversity of revenue sources with a target of no more than 20% from energy (oil,  gas and natural gas liquids). The Company owns a portfolio of royalty, stream and working interests, covering properties at various stages, from production to early exploration, in Latin America, United States, Canada, Australia and Africa.

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 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (its “subsidiaries”) (together the “Company”). 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, 2018 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, 2018, except as noted in Note 2(b). These condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on May 8, 2019.

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 months ended March 31, 2019 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 accounting standards were adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2019. The impact of the adoption of these standards and the new accounting policies are disclosed below.

IFRS 16 Leases

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company has adopted IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”). IFRS 16 requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases. The new standard was applied using a modified retrospective approach whereby the effects of the change in accounting policies for leases as at January 1, 2019 are presented together as a single adjustment to the opening balance of deficit. Therefore, the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 17 Leases (“IAS 17”).

As permitted under transitional provisions, the Company has elected to use the following practical expedients:

· Not to separate non-lease from lease components, and instead account for each lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component.

· Not to recognize right-of-use assets and associated liabilities for low value assets or lease terms of 12 months or less.

· Measure its right-of-use assets at amounts equal to the associated lease liabilities; as such, the adjustment to deficit on transition is nil.

The Company’s significant lease arrangements relate to its office premises. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets of $2.8 million within other assets on the statement of financial position, measured at an amount equal to the related lease liability, discounted using a weighted average incremental borrowing rate of 4.55% at January 1, 2019.

Franco-Nevada Corporation

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

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

IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company has adopted IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments (“IFRIC 23”). IFRIC 23 clarifies how to apply the recognition and measurement requirements of IAS 12 Income Taxes when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The application of IFRIC 23 did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(c)New accounting standards issued but not yet effective

Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations

In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to the definition of a business in IFRS 3 Business Combinations. The amendments are intended to assist entities to determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition. The amendments clarify the minimum requirements for a business, remove the assessment of whether market participants are capable of replacing any missing elements, add guidance to help entities assess whether an acquired process is substantive, narrow the definitions of a business and of outputs, and introduce an optional fair value concentration test. The amendments to IFRS 3 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 and apply prospectively. Earlier application is permitted. The Company expects the application of the amendments to result in more acquisitions being accounted for as asset acquisitions.  

Note 3 – Acquisitions and other transactions

(a) Acquisition of Valentine Lake Royalty Interest – Newfoundland, Canada

On February 21, 2019, Franco-Nevada acquired a 2% NSR on Marathon Gold Corporation’s (“Marathon”) Valentine Lake Gold Camp in central Newfoundland for C$18.0 million. Marathon has an option to buy back 0.5% of the NSR for $7.0 million until December 31, 2022.

The acquisition of the Valentine Lake royalty has been accounted for as an asset acquisition.

(b) Acquisition of Salares Norte Royalty Interest – Chile

On January 31, 2019, Franco-Nevada, through a wholly-owned Chilean subsidiary, acquired an existing 2% NSR on Gold Fields’ Salares Norte project in the Atacama region of northern Chile for $32.0 million, comprised of $27.0 million of Franco-Nevada common shares (366,499 common shares) and $5.0 million in cash. Gold Fields has an option to buy back 1% of the NSR for $6.0 million within 24 months of the commencement of commercial production.

The acquisition of the Salares Norte royalty has been accounted for as an asset acquisition.

(c) Acquisition of U.S. Oil & Gas Mineral Rights with Continental Resources, Inc. – SCOOP and STACK, Oklahoma

The Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, has a strategic relationship with Continental to acquire, through a jointly-owned entity (the “Royalty Acquisition Venture”), royalty rights in the SCOOP and STACK plays of Oklahoma.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded contributions of  $51.4 million to the Royalty Acquisition Venture, of which $38.2 million was funded by March 31, 2019, with the remaining $13.2 million included in accounts payable at the end of the period. As at March 31, 2019, the total cumulative investment in the Royalty Acquisition Venture totalled $313.2 million and Franco-Nevada has remaining commitments of up to $206.8 million to be funded by December 31, 2021.

The Royalty Acquisition Venture is accounted for as a joint operation in accordance with IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements.

Note 4 – Cash and cash equivalents

U.S. dollars

·Base rate advances with interest payable monthly at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (“CIBC”) base rate, plus between 0.00% and 1.05% 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 1.00% and 2.05% 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 0.00% and 1.05% 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 1.00% and 2.05%, 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 0.20% to 0.41% per annum, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, even if no amounts are outstanding under the Credit Facility.

As at  March 31,  2019,  borrowings of $160.0 million under the Credit Facility were subject to an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.00%.  

(b)FNBC Credit Facility - $100.0 million

The Company’s subsidiary, Franco-Nevada (Barbados) Corporation (“FNBC”), has 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. On March 19, 2019, the maturity date of the FNBC Credit Facility was extended by an additional year, to March 20, 2020.

As at  March 31,  2019, there was no balance outstanding under the FNBC Credit Facility.

Note 18 - 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.

· 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 three months ended March 31, 2019. 

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis:

	Quoted Prices in		Significant Other		Significant
	Active Markets for		Observable		Unobservable
	Identical Assets		Inputs		Inputs		Aggregate
As at March 31, 2019	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)		Fair Value
Receivables from provisional concentrate sales	$	—	$	11.5	$	—	$	11.5
Equity investments		159.9		—		3.9		163.8
Warrants		—		1.0		—		1.0
	$	159.9	$	12.5	$	3.9	$	176.3

	Quoted Prices in		Significant Other		Significant
	Active Markets for		Observable		Unobservable
	Identical Assets		Inputs		Inputs		Aggregate
As at December 31, 2018	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)		Fair Value
Receivables from provisional concentrate sales	$	—	$	8.5	$	—	$	8.5
Equity investments		132.8		—		3.9		136.7
Warrants		—		0.7		—		0.7
	$	132.8	$	9.2	$	3.9	$	145.9

Fair Values of Financial Assets and Liabilities

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

a) Receivables

The fair values of receivables arising from gold and platinum group metal concentrate 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.

b) Investments

The fair values of publicly-traded 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 Company holds one equity investment that does not have a quoted market price in an active market. The Company has assessed the fair value of the instrument based on a valuation technique using unobservable discounted future cash flows. As a result, the fair value is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

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

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.

The Company has not offset financial assets with financial liabilities.

Note 19 – Contingencies

The Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) is conducting an audit of Franco-Nevada’s 2012-2015 taxation years. 

As previously disclosed, in 2018, the Company received a letter from the CRA (the “CRA Letter”) in which it proposed to reassess the Company’s 2013 taxation year for tax, interest and penalties in relation to the Company’s Mexican subsidiary.  The Company subsequently received a Notice of Reassessment (the “Reassessment”) from the CRA for the 2013 taxation year in accordance with the CRA Letter.  The Reassessment assesses the Company for additional Federal and provincial income taxes of C$10.7 million ($7.9 million) plus interest and applicable penalties but before any relief under the Canada-Mexico tax treaty. 

For the 2013 taxation year, the Company’s Mexican subsidiary paid 154.3 million Pesos ($12.1 million) in cash taxes, at a 30% tax rate, to the Mexican tax authorities on income earned in Mexico.  

Management believes that the Company has filed its tax returns and paid all applicable taxes in compliance with Canadian and Mexican tax laws and as a result, no amounts have been recorded in the financial statements of the Company for the Reassessment or for any potential tax liability that may arise in respect of this matter. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position and if required, seek relief from double taxation under the Canada-Mexico tax treaty.

The CRA audit is ongoing and there can be no assurance that the CRA will not further challenge the manner in which the Company and its foreign subsidiaries has filed its income tax returns and reported its income.  In the event that the CRA successfully challenges the manner in which the Company has filed its tax returns and reported its income, this could potentially result in additional income taxes, penalties and interest, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Note 20 – Subsequent events

On April 17, 2019, the Company entered into an unsecured, one-year term credit facility (the “Term Loan”) in the amount of $160.0 million. The amount was drawn as a one-month LIBOR loan with interest payable at a rate of LIBOR plus 0.85%. The Term Loan matures on April 17, 2020. Proceeds were used to repay the Credit Facility in full.
