2019 Third Quarter Financial Statements

Franco-Nevada Corporation

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

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

 

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 Franco-Nevada and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (its “subsidiaries”) (hereinafter together with Franco-Nevada, 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 referenced in Note 2(b). These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on November 11, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 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. 

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

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

 

 

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 (“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 January 1, 2020 and apply prospectively. Earlier application is permitted. While it is generally expected that the application of the amendments will result in more acquisitions being accounted for as asset acquisitions, the Company will evaluate the impact of the amendments based on the nature and terms of acquisitions the Company may complete in future periods.  

Note 3 – Acquisitions and other transactions

(a)

Acquisition of Premier Gold Royalty Interests

On September 25, 2019, Franco-Nevada acquired two royalties from Premier Gold Mines Limited (“Premier”) for $6.0 million, including a 2% net smelter royalty (“NSR”) on property owned by Newmont Goldcorp Corporation adjoining its Musselwhite Mine in Northwestern Ontario and a 1.5% NSR on Nevada Gold Mines LLC’s Rain/Emigrant and Saddle properties located at the south end of the Carlin Trend in Nevada.

The acquisitions of the Premier royalties have been accounted for as asset acquisitions.

(b)

Acquisition of U.S. Oil & Gas Royalty Interest – Marcellus, Pennsylvania

On July 22, 2019, Franco-Nevada acquired from Range Resources Corporation (“Range”) an overriding royalty interest on acreage in the Marcellus for a gross purchase price of $300.0 million. The royalty is calculated as 1% of gross production, less allowed deductions from approximately 350,000 net acres of Range’s working interest position in Washington, Western Allegheny and Southern Beaver Counties in Pennsylvania. The royalty applies to existing production and future development from the Marcellus formation as well as future potential development from the Utica and Upper Devonian formations.

The acquisition was financed with a combination of cash on hand and funds drawn from the Corporate Revolver, as referenced in Note 9(a). The acquisition has an effective date of March 1, 2019. Between the effective date and the closing date, the asset has generated approximately $9.1 million in royalties.

The acquisition of the Marcellus 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 Resources, Inc. to acquire, through a jointly-owned entity (the “Royalty Acquisition Venture”), royalty rights in the South Central Oklahoma Oil Province (“SCOOP”) and Sooner Trend Anadarko Basin Canadian and Kingfisher Counties (“STACK”) plays of Oklahoma.

·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 Corporate Revolver are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and are unsecured.

The amount was drawn as a one-month LIBOR loan with interest payable at a rate of LIBOR plus 0.85%.  

On September 25, 2019, the Company amended the Corporate Term Loan by extending the term from April 17, 2020 to April 17, 2021. The Corporate Term Loan is presented as a non-current liability on the consolidated statement of financial position.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2019.

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

The Company has not offset financial assets with financial 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.

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.

(c)

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 19 – Contingencies

Canada Revenue Agency Audit:

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

(a)

Canadian Domestic (2014-2015):

Certain wholly-owned Canadian subsidiaries of the Company received proposal letters (the “CRA Letters”) from the CRA at the end of May 2019.  The CRA Letters propose to reassess the 2014 and 2015 taxation years to increase income by adjusting the timing of the deduction of the upfront payments with respect to precious metal streams, resulting in additional Federal and provincial income taxes of approximately $1.6 million plus interest and applicable penalties (after applying available non-capital losses). Subsequently, in October 2019, the Company received Notices of Reassessment from the CRA for the 2014 and 2015 taxation years in accordance with the CRA Letters.

(b)

Mexico (2013):

The Company received a Notice of Reassessment (the “Reassessment”) dated December 24, 2018 from the CRA for the 2013 taxation year in relation to the Company’s Mexican subsidiary. The Reassessment assesses the Company for additional Federal and provincial income taxes of C$10.7 million ($8.1 million) plus interest and applicable penalties but before any relief under the Canada-Mexico tax treaty.

Franco-Nevada Corporation

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

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

 

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. If required, the Company intends to seek relief from double taxation under the Canada-Mexico tax treaty.

Management believes that the Company and its subsidiaries have filed their tax returns and paid all applicable taxes in compliance with Canadian and applicable foreign tax laws and, as a result, no amounts have been recorded in the financial statements of the Company for the Reassessment, the CRA Letters or for any potential tax liability that may arise in respect of these matters. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position.

The CRA audit is ongoing and there can be no assurance that the CRA will not further challenge the manner in which the Company or any of its 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 or a subsidiary 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.
