"Wheaton delivered a strong start to 2026, with Salobo and Peà±asquito outperforming expectations and contributing to record quarterly revenue, earnings and cash flow," said Haytham Hodaly, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wheaton Precious Metals. "During the first quarter, we announced our largest streaming transaction to date at Antamina in partnership with BHP and subsequently entered into our first streaming agreement in Australia with KGL Resources. These transactions expand our geographic footprint and broaden our counterparty base, while further demonstrating the flexibility of the streaming model as a means of unlocking value from non-core precious metals. Supported by a high-quality operating asset base and an industry-leading growth profile, Wheaton is well positioned to continue pursuing accretive growth and delivering long-term value for all stakeholders."

Operational Overview

Financial Review

RevenuesRevenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $901 million (51% gold, 47% silver, 1% palladium and 1% cobalt), with the $431 million increase relative to the prior period quarter being primarily due to a 98% increase in the average realized gold equivalent3 price; partially offset by a 3% decrease in the number of GEOs3 sold.

Cash Costs and MarginAverage cash costs1 in the first quarter of 2026 were $681 per GEO3 as compared to $392 in the first quarter of 2025. This resulted in a cash operating margin1 of $4,279 per GEO3 sold, an increase of 103% as compared with the first quarter of 2025, a result of the higher realized price per ounce. The higher margin reflects the leverage provided by fixed per-ounce production payments across the majority of Wheaton's operating streams, which accounted for 70% of revenue during the quarter. Notably, year-over-year margin growth exceeded the appreciation in gold prices over the same period, underscoring the effectiveness of Wheaton's business model in generating higher levered cash flow and margins in a rising precious metals price environment.

Cash Flow from OperationsOperating cash flow in the first quarter of 2026 amounted to $766 million, with the $405 million increase from the comparable period of the prior year being due primarily to higher gross margin.

Produced But Not Yet DeliveredAs at March 31, 2026, approximately 183,500 GEOs3 were produced but not yet delivered ("PBND") representing approximately 2.8 months of payable production. This increase in the number of months of PBND compared with the preceding four quarters places PBND levels at the mid-point of our guided range of two and a half to three and a half months and was driven primarily by strong quarterly production at Peà±asquito.

Balance Sheet (at March 31, 2026)

First Quarter Operating Asset Highlights

Salobo: In the first quarter of 2026, Salobo produced 69,200 ounces of attributable gold, a decrease of approximately 3% relative to the first quarter of 2025, primarily the result of lower grades, partially offset by higher throughput and recoveries.

On May 1, 2026, Hudbay announced that mill throughput rates are expected to increase to more than 90,000 TPD starting in the second half of 2026, with the installation of two pebble crushers and related permit amendments.

Other Gold: In the first quarter of 2026, total Other Gold attributable production was 5,400 ounces, an increase of approximately 616% relative to the first quarter of 2025 due to the initial reported production from the Fenix mine as well as the addition of attributable production from the Hemlo and Goose mines.
