FRANCO-NEVADA CORPORATION

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2016 and 2015

(Unaudited, expressed in millions of U.S. dollars except share and 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 gold-focused royalty and stream company with additional interests in silver, platinum group metals, oil & gas and other resource assets. The majority of revenues are generated from a diversified portfolio of properties in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Peru, Chile and Africa. The portfolio includes approximately 340 assets covering properties at various stages from production to early stage exploration.

 

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 condensed interim consolidated 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 interim financial statements, including IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”.  These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 and were prepared using the same accounting policies, method of computation and presentation as were applied in the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.  These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on May 4, 2016.

 

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 quarter ended March 31, 2016 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 interim consolidated 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 Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective

 

IAS 12, “Income taxes” (“IAS 12”) provides guidance on the recognition of deferred tax assets. In January 2016, the International Accounting Standards board issued amendments to clarify the requirements for recognizing deferred tax assets on unrealized losses. The amendments clarify the accounting for deferred tax where an asset is measured at fair value and that fair value is below the asset’s tax base. They also clarify certain other aspects of accounting for deferred tax assets. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. Early adoption is not yet permitted as they have not been incorporated into the CPA Canada Handbook, Part 1 - IFRS.

The Company is currently assessing the impact of the amendment to IAS 12 on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 — Acquisitions

 

On February 26, 2016, the Company acquired a $500.0 million precious metals stream from Glencore plc with reference to production from the Antapaccay mine located in Peru. Under the stream agreement, gold and silver deliveries are initially referenced to copper in concentrate shipped. The Company will receive 300 ounces of gold and 4,700 ounces of silver for each 1,000 tonnes of copper in concentrate shipped, until 630,000 ounces of gold and 10.0 million ounces of silver have been delivered. Thereafter, the Company will receive 30% of the gold and silver shipped. The Company will pay an on-going price of 20% of the spot price of gold and silver until 750,000 ounces of refined gold and 12.8 million ounces of refined silver have been delivered. Thereafter, the on-going price will increase to 30% of the spot price of gold and silver.

 

The acquisition has been classified as an asset acquisition.

Non-current investments

 

These investments comprise: (i) equity interests in various public and non-public entities which the Company acquired through the open market or through transactions; (ii) warrants in various publicly-listed companies; and (iii) a loan receivable from Noront acquired through the Ring of Fire transaction in 2015. Equity investments have been designated as available-for-sale and, as a result, have been recorded at fair value. One equity investment of a non-public entity, having a carrying value of $4.0 million, has been designated as an equity investment held at cost as no reliable estimate of fair value can be determined because there is no publicly available information in which to estimate future cash flows, associated operating costs or capital expenditures and no alternative active market. Management does not intend to dispose of the investment and expects to recover the carrying value through the payment of dividends.

 

The loan receivable has been designated as loans and receivables under IFRS and is carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

 

As at March 31, 2016, the market value of certain of these investments increased compared to their values at December 31, 2015 and the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $15.8 million (2015 — loss of $6.7 million), net of an income tax expense of $0.2 million  (2015 — $1.1 million income tax recovery), in other comprehensive income. The company also sold certain available-for-sale investments and re-classified $1.5 million gain (2015 - $NIL) from other comprehensive income (loss) to net income.

 

As at March 31, 2016, the market value of the publicly-traded warrants remained the same compared to their value as at December 31, 2015 and the Company recorded a mark-to-market loss of $NIL (2015 — loss of $0.2 million) in the consolidated statement of income.

Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements

 

There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy in the three months to March 31, 2016.  There were also no changes made to any of the valuation techniques applied as of December 31, 2015.  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 (ie 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.

Fair Values of Financial Assets and Liabilities

 

The fair values of the Company’s remaining financial assets and liabilities which include receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature and historically negligible credit losses.

 

The Company has not offset financial assets with financial liabilities.

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

 

a)             Cash and cash equivalents

 

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, including interest bearing deposits, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets.

 

b)             Receivables

 

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

 

c)              Investments

 

The fair values of publicly-traded investments, including available-for-sale equity investments and warrants, 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.

 

d)             Royalty, stream, working interests and oil well equipment

 

The fair values of royalty, stream, working interests and oil well equipment 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.
