Strong portfolio performance leads to increase in guidance. $100 million agreement to acquire oil & gas royalties.
TORONTO , Nov. 7, 2016 /CNW/ - Franco-Nevada's CEO, David Harquail, commented: "Our overall portfolio is performing very well. We now expect to exceed the high end of our previous guidance range for both Gold Equivalent Ounces1 ("GEOs") and oil & gas revenues. In addition, we are benefiting from higher commodity prices. Even with our ongoing Cobre Panama contributions and industry leading dividend, Franco-Nevada is growing its cash balances and has no debt. We are also seeing investment opportunities across a range of commodities. Franco-Nevada has just agreed to acquire for $100 million oil & gas royalty assets in the U.S."
Financial results for Q3/2016 are reported in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. The highlights include:
- 123,065 GEOs — a new record
- $172.0 million in revenue — a new record
- $142.2 million of Adjusted EBITDA2 or $0.80 per share — a new record
- $54.4 million of Net Income or $0.31 per share
- $53.5 million of Adjusted Net Income3 or $0.30 per share
- $277.6 million in cash and cash equivalents at quarter end and no debt

For Q3/2016, revenue was sourced 94% from precious metals (66% gold, 21% silver and 7% PGM) and 83% from the Americas (15% U.S., 19% Canada and 49% Latin America). Costs and expenses increased year-over-year due to higher depletion and cost of sales, reflecting deliveries from the Antamina and Antapaccay stream acquisitions which were completed in October 2015 and February 2016, respectively. Oil & gas production levels and prices were stable year-over-year. Cash provided by operating activities was $121.6 million, an increase of 67% compared to Q3/2015.
Portfolio Updates
- Precious Metals — U.S.: GEOs from U.S. precious metals assets increased by 8% year-over-year with decreases from Goldstrike being more than offset by increased production at Marigold and the start of deliveries from the South Arturo mine. GEOs received from the U.S. precious metal assets were 18,920 GEOs.
- South Arturo (4-9% royalty) – This project, operated by Barrick and Premier Gold, poured its first gold in August. Initial royalty payments were net of $3.1 million in advance minimum royalties previously paid. Q4/2016 payments are expected to be stronger as advance minimum royalties will no longer be netted from future payments.
- Marigold (0.5-5% royalty) – Silver Standard provided new 5-year guidance that projects higher production averaging 220,000 ounces per year.
- Bald Mountain (0.875-5% royalty) – Kinross reported that it has received a Record of Decision that will allow for increased exploration activity and a potential expansion.
- Hollister (3-5% royalty) – Klondex Mines, Franco-Nevada's partner at Fire Creek/Midas, acquired the Hollister project during the quarter. Klondex has since reported high grade intersections at the Hatter Graben zone which is on the 5% royalty ground.
- Mesquite (0.5-2% royalty) – New Gold announced that Mesquite's full-year gold production is expected to be approximately 15,000 ounces below the guidance range of 130,000 to 140,000 ounces. Q3/2016 production focused on waste stripping with a stronger Q4/2016 expected.
- Fire Creek/Midas (Fixed gold deliveries / 2.5% royalty) – Klondex reported increased mineral reserves and resources for its Fire Creek and Midas operations.
- Stillwater (5% royalty) – Stillwater now anticipates that the Blitz project will add between 270,000 and 330,000 PGM ounces of incremental production annually when fully ramped up by 2021-2022. This is an increase from the 150,000 to 200,000 PGM ounces that Stillwater previously expected.
- Castle Mountain (2.65% royalty) – During the quarter, NewCastle Gold reported additional promising drill results and raised additional funding for this project in California.
- Stibnite Gold (1.7% royalty) – Midas Gold filed its Plan of Restoration & Operations to start the environmental assessment for this historic mine in Idaho.
- Precious Metals — Canada: GEOs from Canadian precious metals assets increased by approximately 34% to 17,749 GEOs compared with Q3/2015. The main contributor to the increase was the Sudbury operation which benefited from stronger production.
- Detour (2% royalty) – Detour Gold has revised production guidance slightly lower as a result of heavy rains during the summer. Detour also provided a preliminary 2017 outlook, which estimates production between 540,000 to 590,000 ounces versus the life-of-mine plan for 2017 of 614,000 ounces.
- Brucejack (1.2% royalty) – Pretium Resources expects to begin commissioning of the underground mine in mid-2017.
- Eagle (1.5-2% royalty) – Victoria Gold provided an updated feasibility study for this project in the Yukon which is part of the larger Dublin Gulch claim block.
- Musselwhite (5% profit royalty) — Goldcorp has announced approval for a materials handling project which it expects will increase production by 20% over 2016-2018.
- Kirkland Lake (2.5% royalty reducing to 1.5%) – In October 2016, Kirkland Lake exercised its option to buyback 1% of an overlying 2.5% NSR for an aggregate cash consideration of approximately $30.5 million ($36.0 million less royalty proceeds attributable to the buyback portion of the NSR paid to Franco-Nevada prior to the date of the buyback). The NSR, which covers all of Kirkland Lake's properties (including the Macassa mine), was acquired in October 2013 for $50.0 million.
- Precious Metals — Latin America: GEOs from Latin American precious metals assets represented the largest year-over-year increase due to the addition of the Antamina and Antapaccay streams. Precious metal GEOs delivered from Latin America were 63,921 GEOs, an increase of 88% year-over-year.
- Antamina (22.5% silver stream) – Antamina delivered 19,975 GEOs during the quarter and 49,654 GEOs year-to-date. GEOs received year-to-date are higher than Franco-Nevada's original full-year 2016 guidance of 40,000 GEOs.
- Antapaccay (gold and silver stream) – Antapaccay delivered 22,186 GEOs in Q3/2016.
- Candelaria (gold and silver stream) – Candelaria delivered 16,807 GEOs, compared to 19,081 GEOs in the prior year quarter, as expected according to its mine plan. Lundin Mining reported increases in mineral reserves and resources despite depletion. Lundin also reported that all critical tailings dam construction permits have been received for the Los Diques tailings management facility and that early works are substantially complete.
- Guadalupe (50% gold stream) – Early in the quarter, the 400,000 minimum ounce Palmarejo obligation was paid and fully met by Coeur Mining. That results in the original Palmarejo gold stream being terminated and the new Guadalupe stream commencing. Under the new agreement, deliveries are based on 50% of the gold produced from the Palmarejo property (including the new Guadalupe mine and the western portion of the Independencia mine) with ongoing payments equal to the lesser of $800 per ounce and the then prevailing spot price for gold. During the quarter, Coeur reported high grade intercepts in Guadalupe's Block C.
- Cobre Panama (gold and silver stream) – During the quarter, Franco-Nevada contributed $40 million of its share of construction capital for the Cobre Panama project. Franco-Nevada at quarter end has contributed $416 million of its total $1 billion commitment for the construction of Cobre Panama. First Quantum increased its planned 2016 capital expenditure to $450 million from $390 million due to expedited stripping of the pit. The development remains on track for a phased commissioning in 2018 and continued ramp-up in 2019.
- Cerro Moro (2% royalty) – Yamana reported that the Cerro Moro project in Argentina is expected to achieve production in early 2018.
- Precious Metals — Rest of World: GEOs from Rest of World precious metals assets increased year-over-year by 16% mainly due to deliveries from the Karma fixed ounce obligation. Precious metal GEOs from the Rest of World were 20,972 GEOs during the quarter.
- Cooke 4 (7% gold stream) – On October 27th, Sibanye Gold announced it has ceased production at the Cooke 4 underground operation. Franco-Nevada has an approximate $69 million carrying value for this stream. Once further information is obtained, an impairment analysis will be carried out and recorded in Q4/2016 as appropriate.
- Karma (fixed gold deliveries and stream) – An additional 1,250 GEOs were sold in the quarter due to the timing of sales being carried over from the previous quarter, for a total of 5,000 GEOs sold in Q3/2016.
- Ity (1.5% capped royalty) – Endeavour Mining previously reported an increase in reserves at Ity. It has now reported on two new discoveries, Bakatouo and Colline Sud, that are both on the royalty property and are in close proximity to the current mine.
- Sissingué (0.5% royalty) – Also in Cote d'Ivoire, Perseus Mining stated it has started construction of Sissingué and expects to pour its first gold in the fourth quarter of 2017.
- Sabodala (fixed gold deliveries and stream) – Teranga Gold announced that the mill optimization was commissioned early in August. It expects throughput to increase by 15%.
- Duketon (2% royalty) – Regis Resources has announced reserve increases at its Duketon belt projects.
- Matilda (3-5% royalty) – Blackham Resources began production at the Matilda Gold Project in July 2016. The company expects to produce 100,000 ounces per year over an 8 year mine life. A large land package and large sulphide resource offers longer-term potential.
- Butcher Well (1% royalty after 50,000 ounces produced) – AngloGold Ashanti has entered into an exploration partnership with Saracen whereby AngloGold can earn up to 70% of the Butcher Well and Lake Carey tenements after spending A$25 million over 6 years. The exploration partnership excludes the Red October operation on which Franco-Nevada has a 1.75% royalty.
- Tasiast (2% royalty) – Kinross continues to advance development of the Tasiast Phase One expansion. Normal operations resumed after a work stoppage in August and the company has signed a new 3-year collective labour agreement with unionized employees.
- Subika (2% royalty) – Newmont Mining is expected to make a decision in the next quarter regarding an Ahafo mill expansion and the underground development of Subika.
- Oil & Gas: Revenue from oil & gas assets increased to $8.3 million in Q3/2016 compared to $7.8 million in Q3/2015. Production remains relatively stable. Subsequent to quarter end, Franco-Nevada agreed to purchase for $100 million, from a private party, royalty rights in the STACK shale play in Oklahoma's Anadarko basin. The STACK has been gaining momentum over the past couple of years due to its status as one of the most economic shale plays in North America. The lands consist of 16,865 acres of GORR and mineral title rights that with pooling provides an estimated gross acreage of 74,880 acres with an estimated average 1.61% royalty rate. The top two operators of the lands are Newfield Exploration and Devon Energy. Both companies have made the STACK a major focus of their capital spending, a portion of which will be on the royalty lands. Full-field development is expected to begin in 2017. Cash flow from the royalty acreage as of September represents an annualized rate of $3 million per year and this is expected to grow substantially as full-field development is rolled out.
Guidance
Franco-Nevada realized record growth from its mineral assets for the first nine months of 2016. Mineral assets contributed 342,473 GEOs, while Franco-Nevada's Oil & Gas assets contributed $19.7 million in revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. As a result, Franco-Nevada is pleased to raise its guidance for 2016 as follows:
Previously announced | Revised guidance | ||||||||||
Mineral assets - GEO production1 | (oz) | 425,000 - 445,000 GEOs | 445,000 - 455,000 GEOs | ||||||||
Oil & Gas assets - Revenue2 | ($) | $15.0 million - $25.0 million | $25.0 million - $30.0 million |
1 | In forecasting GEOs for the remainder of 2016, gold, silver, platinum and palladium metals have been converted to GEOs using commodity prices of $1,300/oz Au, $18.00/oz Ag, $950/oz Pt and $650/oz Pd. |
2 | In forecasting revenue from Oil & Gas assets for the remainder of 2016, the WTI oil price is assumed to average $50 per barrel with a $3.50 per barrel price differential for Canadian oil. |
Of the 445,000 to 455,000 GEOs, Franco-Nevada expects to receive 315,000 to 325,000 GEOs under its various stream agreements. For the first nine months of 2016, 243,896 GEOs have been received from stream agreements, while 222,670 GEOs were received for full year 2015.

1 | GEOs include our gold, silver, platinum, palladium and other mineral 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 were converted to GEOs by dividing associated revenue, which includes settlement adjustments, by the average gold price for the period. For Q3 2016, the average commodity prices were as follows: $1,335 gold (2015 - $1,124), $19.62 silver (2015 - $14.91), $1,084 platinum (2015 - $988) and $676 palladium (2015 - $615). |
2 | Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share are non-IFRS financial measures, which exclude the following from net income and 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 the sale of investments; and foreign exchange gains/losses and other income/expenses. |
3 | Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share are non-IFRS financial measures, which exclude the following from net income and earnings per share ("EPS"): foreign exchange gains/losses and other income/expenses; gains/losses on the sale of investments; impairment charges related to royalty, stream and working interests and investments; unusual non-recurring items; and the impact of income taxes on these items. |
