Strong Finish to the Year

2025 was a record-breaking year for Franco-Nevada driven by higher precious metal prices and growing production. "We achieved the top end of our revised 2025 GEO guidance range thanks to a strong fourth quarter", stated Paul Brink, CEO. "The record increase in our annual cash flow allowed us to announce a 16% dividend increase in January this year. 2025 joined 2024 as two of our best-ever years for capital deployment. That success has continued post year-end and we have announced four further attractive acquisitions, all of which add additional optionality and create real value for shareholders rather than simply adding scale. Our 2026 guidance and the five-year outlook point to a strong growth foundation and the tremendous amount of exploration capital expected to be spent by operators on projects in our deep royalty portfolio is set to provide powerful additional organic growth. A restart of Cobre Panama would add significant further growth, and the Panamanian Government's willingness to approve the processing of stockpiles is a positive step in that direction. With the industry's largest portfolio of gold royalties, no debt and $3.1 billion in available capital we are uniquely positioned to continue to create shareholder value." 

Financial Highlights â?? Q4 2025 compared to Q4 2024

Financial Highlights â?? 2025 compared to 2024

GEOs Sold and Revenue

In Q4 2025, we recognized revenue of $597.3 million, an increase of 86% from Q4 2024, and sold 141,656 GEOs, an increase of 18% from Q4 2024. We benefited from record gold and silver prices during the quarter, strong production from Antamina and South Arturo, and contributions from Precious Metal assets which were acquired or commenced production over the past year. Revenue from our Diversified assets was lower than in Q4 2024, due to lower oil prices. The outperformance of the gold price relative to our other commodities also resulted in a reduction in GEOs reported from our Diversified assets.

Precious Metal assets accounted for 90% of our revenue in Q4 2025 (71% gold, 17% silver, and 2% PGM). Revenue was sourced 89% from the Americas (44% South America, 21% Canada, 15% U.S. and 9% Central America & Mexico).

Portfolio Additions

Cobre Panamà¡ Update

Cobre Panamà¡ remains in a phase of Preservation and Safe Management ("P&SM") with production halted. During Q4 2025, as part of the P&SM plan approved by the government of Panama (the "GOP"), the power plant was restarted, with Unit 2 hot-commissioned and synchronized to the national grid and the commissioning of Unit 1 ongoing. In addition, the integral audit, carried out by SGS Global, is ongoing and is anticipated to be concluded in April 2026.

In January 2026, President José Raàºl Mulino announced that the GOP will authorize the removal, processing and export of stockpiled ore. First Quantum awaits formal approvals to undertake these activities, which will be carried out in coordination with the GOP and in strict compliance with the P&SM plan. The processing of stockpiled ore does not constitute a mine reopening. On a preliminary basis, it is currently anticipated that processing of stockpiled ore could commence about three months after receiving official regulatory notice to proceed and would require approximately one year to process the stockpiled ore. Approximately 70,000 tonnes of copper is expected to be produced from the stockpiled ore which would result in the delivery of approximately 23,100 gold ounces and 265,000 silver ounces to Franco-Nevada. As the processing of the stockpiled ore is pending formal approval by the GOP, these GEOs are not included in our 2026 guidance. Timing of the receipt of such deliveries depends on the timing of formal approval by the GOP.

Sustainability Updates

We continue to demonstrate strong sustainability performance and rank highly among leading ESG rating agencies, including recognition by Sustainalytics as a Global ESG Leader for 2026 and being named by Corporate Knights as one of the 2026 Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations. In Q4 2025, our community contributions included advancing multi-year community investments to support reforestation and community infrastructure at Tocantinzinho in Brazil in partnership with G Mining Ventures, and supporting an anti-anemia health initiative at Antapaccay in Peru with Glencore.

Dividend Increase for 2026

As previously announced on January 12, 2026, Franco-Nevada raised its quarterly dividend to US$0.44 per share and declared a quarterly dividend payable on March 26, 2026 to shareholders of record on March 12, 2026. This is a 16% increase from the previous US$0.38 per share quarterly dividend and marks the 19th consecutive annual increase for Franco-Nevada shareholders. The increased dividend is intended to be effective for the full 2026 fiscal year. Canadian investors in Franco-Nevada's IPO in December 2007 are now receiving an effective 16.1% yield on their cost base.

Guidance and Outlook

Our 2026 guidance and five-year outlook are 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 and our assessment thereof.

Our 2026 guidance and five-year outlook are based on the following assumed commodity prices: $4,500/oz Au, $75.00/oz Ag, $2,000/oz Pt, $1,650/oz Pd, $100/tonne Fe 62% CFR China, $70/bbl WTI oil and $3.00/mcf Henry Hub natural gas.

2026 Guidance

Beginning in 2026, we will be adopting fixed GEO conversion ratios based on the pricing assumptions outlined in our 2026 guidance. This methodology replaces our previous variable GEO conversion ratios based on prevailing market prices and is intended to make our GEO guidance better reflect production volumes.

Our Total GEOs are expected to range from 510,000 to 570,000 ounces, with approximately 90% from Precious Metal assets and 10% from our Diversified assets. The anticipated increase in our Precious Metal GEOs reflects the first full year of contribution from Cà´té Gold, Porcupine, and Valentine Gold, the continued ramp-up of Salares Norte and Greenstone, and the recent acquisitions of the Casa Berardi stream and i-80 royalty. With respect to our Diversified revenue, the commodity breakdown is expected to be approximately 50% oil and liquids, 25% natural gas and 25% iron ore and other minerals.

We have not assumed any contributions from Cobre Panamà¡ in our 2026 guidance. As further discussed above, First Quantum is awaiting formal approval to process stockpiled ore, which would produce approximately 70,000 tonnes of copper and result in stream deliveries to Franco-Nevada of approximately 23,100 gold ounces and 265,000 silver ounces. The timing of stream deliveries would depend on when formal approval is received.

Given the volatility in commodity prices, we are also providing volume-based guidance for our Precious Metal assets. The table below presents our guidance for 2026:

Five-Year Outlook 

For 2030, we expect Total GEOs to range between 555,000 and 615,000 GEOs. Our outlook assumes the start of production at Cascabel, Copper World, Eskay Creek, Stibnite Gold and Rebecca-Roe. It also reflects planned expansions at Detour Lake, Magino and Castle Mountain Phase 2, and the development of the Coroccohuayco project at Antapaccay. These production increases are expected to be partly offset by the step-down at Candelaria and Antapaccay, and a decrease in production at Subika (Ahafo South). For our Energy assets, we anticipate continued production growth at our Haynesville, SCOOP/STACK and Permian interests, and expect steady-state production from our Canadian assets.

We have not assumed any contributions from Cobre Panamà¡ in our five-year outlook. Should production restart, there is potential for materially higher GEOs, depending on the conditions of such restart. Based on the average of the next five years of the Cobre Panamà¡ mine plan which was in place at the time of suspension, the stream has the potential to contribute as much as 150,000 to 175,000 GEOs to Franco-Nevada annually once the mine has ramped up to full capacity.

Q4 2025 Portfolio Updates

Precious Metal assets: GEOs sold from our Precious Metal assets were 127,959 GEOs, an increase of 34% from 95,565 GEOs in Q4 2024. This was primarily due to robust production at Antamina and South Arturo, and contributions from our recently acquired interests in Cà´té Gold, Western Limb, and Porcupine.

South America:

Central America & Mexico:

Canada:

U.S.:

Rest of World:

Diversified assets: Our Diversified assets, primarily comprising our Iron Ore and Energy interests, generated $55.3 million in revenue, compared to $64.3 million in Q4 2024. When converted to GEOs, our Diversified assets contributed 13,697 GEOs, compared to 24,498 GEOs in Q4 2024.
