CEO Commentary
David Harquail, President and CEO, made the following comments in relation to the third quarter 2011 results:
'Franco-Nevada's royalty and stream business model continues to prove itself. Third quarter results were another record as Franco-Nevada benefitted from higher average precious metal prices and contributions from both organic growth and new acquisitions. Our revenues are now 91% from precious metals and 77% from North American assets. Despite likely weaker commodity prices in the fourth quarter and challenges facing some of our streams, on balance the outlook is promising across the broader portfolio. We are maintaining our previous guidance for 2011 revenues in the range of $375 to $400 million compared to $227 million on the same basis in 2010.'
'This is proving to be a record year for growing the portfolio. In the first half, we added five streams from the acquisition of Gold Wheaton and new gold royalties at Perseus' Edikan project and Osisko's Canadian Malartic project. In the third quarter, we closed a gold royalty acquisition on Rubicon's Phoenix project and announced the proposed acquisition of Lumina Royalty Corp. which will add four new copper royalties to the portfolio. When the Lumina transaction closes later in the fourth quarter, Franco-Nevada expects to count 212 mineral assets of which 41 are classified as producing. Franco-Nevada has a solid pipeline of opportunities and at the end of the third quarter had over $420 million in working capital, another $175 million available in credit and no debt.'
'Franco-Nevada began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on September 8(th). We are very pleased with the reception the shares are receiving in the US as a growth and dividend paying alternative to the gold ETF. Our overall trading liquidity has increased by approximately 25% since the listing.'
Portfolio Highlights
Details of the individual revenue contributions by asset and commodity can be found in our Management's Discussion and Analysis available on our website. Asset details are also available on our website and in our Annual Information Form and Form 40-F.
New Royalty Transactions
-- Phoenix is a 2.0% gross royalty payable on that part of Rubicon
Minerals Corporation's Phoenix gold project lying primarily
beneath the waters of Red Lake, Ontario. Rubicon has an option
to repurchase a 0.5% gross royalty from the Company.
Franco-Nevada's acquisition cost was approximately $23.7
million payable by the issuance of 550,000 common shares of the
Company. Rubicon has announced a C$55 million development and
exploration program for shaft deepening, underground
development, drilling and long lead item orders and is
targeting potential production in Q4 2013.
-- Lumina Royalty Corp is an unlisted company that owns royalties
on four development stage copper projects in Chile and
Argentina. On September 22nd, Franco-Nevada announced it had
entered into an arrangement agreement to acquire Lumina Royalty
Corp. for $60 million in Franco-Nevada common shares and $6
million in listed Franco-Nevada warrants. Lumina's assets
include:
o 1.5% net smelter return ('NSR') royalty on the Relincho project in
Chile. Teck Resources has disclosed a pre-feasibility study which
indicates a possible production start in 2017 with 195,000 tonnes
and 180,000 tonnes of contained copper in concentrates produced on
average for the first five years and over the 22 year life of mine,
respectively.
o 1.08% NSR royalty on the Taca Taca project in Salta Province,
Argentina operated by Lumina Copper Corp.
o A fixed rate copper royalty and a 1.5% NSR gold royalty on Coro
Mining Corp.'s San Jorge project located in Mendoza Province,
Argentina. There are advance payments associated with this
royalty.
o 2% NSR royalty on open pit mining and a 1% NSR royalty on
underground mining on a portion of Los Andes Copper Limited's
Vizcachitas project located in Chile.
Producing Assets
-- Palmarejo,operated by Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation
('Coeur'), generated $26.1 million in revenue in the third
quarter. Coeur has reported that it continues to drill at the
Guadalupe deposit to expand the current resource and has
commenced a surface trenching program to define the known vein
structures at La Patria.
-- Sudbury Basinincludes streams on the precious metals from the
Levack, McCreedy and Podolsky mines operated by Quadra FNX
Mining Ltd. ('Quadra FNX'). In the third quarter, the three
mines generated $15.2 million in revenues, split $10.3 million
from PGMs and $4.9 million from gold. On October 14th, Quadra
FNX announced that terms had been reached to utilize Xstrata
Nickel's neighbouring Craig shaft to access the Morrison
deposit at the Levack mine which Quadra FNX expects will
improve operational flexibility and allow the potential for
higher production going forward. Offsetting this, Quadra FNX is
currently focusing mining on nickel ores at McCreedy which will
defer the mining of precious metal ores.
-- Goldstrikerevenue of $14.4 million in the third quarter was
split between the net profits interest ('NPI') of $8.8 million
and the NSR royalty of $5.6 million. Barrick reported that
during the quarter the Goldstrike operation produced a total of
0.26 million ounces of gold with total cash costs of $516 per
ounce as it transitioned to a higher waste stripping phase in
the second half of 2011.
-- MWS'gold stream payments amounted to$11.7 million to
Franco-Nevada in the third quarter. It also successfully
concluded the technical completion test required under the gold
stream agreement. In September, First Uranium announced that it
had received a letter from the South African Minister of
Mineral Resources purporting to 'withdraw' the new order mining
right for the MWS operations. First Uranium continues to
operate MWS while working with the Minister to rectify the
issue.
-- Ezulwiniprovided $8.1 million in revenues to Franco-Nevada in
the third quarter delivering the quarterly instalment of the
minimum royalty provision under the gold stream agreement.
-- Stillwater benefited from strong PGM prices in the quarter and
generated $6.1 million in revenue. Realized PGM prices are
expected to be weaker in the fourth quarter based on current
commodity price levels.
-- Oil & Gasassets delivered $8.5 million of revenue in the
quarter. Production volumes in southeast Saskatchewan have
been hampered by the impact of spring floods which has also
delayed planned development.
New and Future Revenues
-- Tasiast cumulative gold production surpassed the 600,000 ounce
threshold during third quarter triggering the first partial
quarterly payment of $1.5 million to Franco-Nevada. This
royalty is expected to become an important contributor to the
Company's revenues as Kinross Gold has announced expansion
plans for the operation based on a 16 year mine life and
envisions increasing production to 1.5 million gold equivalent
ounces per annum. Kinross has stated that start up of the
expansion is targeted for mid 2014. This would represent
approximately 30,000 ounces of gold annually to Franco-Nevada
from its 2% revenue royalty.
-- Detour Goldannounced that it has raised additional capital
funding during the quarter so that the C$1.3 billion
construction of its large gold project is now fully financed
with completion expected by early 2013. In addition, Detour
Gold announced an agreement to acquire the neighbouring Trade
Winds Ventures Block A project which is contiguous to the west
of the Detour Lake open pit. Franco-Nevada has a 2% revenue
royalty on both projects and expects that the combination
increases the likelihood for further reserve additions and an
expansion of the project. Detour has stated that when fully
ramped up, gold production is expected to average 649,000
ounces per year with potential to increase throughput.
-- Edikan (formerly the Central Ashanti Gold Project) is a new
royalty that was acquired in the second quarter of 2011.
Perseus Mining Limited announced the pouring of its first gold
in August and reported progress on both the mine commissioning
and on additional exploration potential on the property.
Franco-Nevada expects to receive initial revenues from this
asset in the fourth quarter of 2011. Perseus recently
completed an updated life of mine plan which anticipates
average annual gold production of 265,000 ounces per year from
Edikan.
-- Canadian Malarticis a new royalty that was acquired early in
the third quarter of 2011 consisting of a 1.5% gross overriding
metal royalty on seven mining claims encompassing a portion of
Osisko's Canadian Malartic project. Osisko announced that it
has recently commenced production at the project with some
mining occurring on the royalty claims that cover a portion of
the planned pit. Franco-Nevada expects to report revenue from
this asset in the fourth quarter of 2011 with more significant
revenues occurring in 2012. At full production, Osisko
estimates that Canadian Malartic will average 574,000 ounces
per year.
-- TheItyroyalty is an approximate 1% NSR on a mine operated by La
Mancha Resources in the Cote d'Ivoire which began its first
royalty payments to Franco-Nevada during the third quarter. La
Mancha expects that the Ity mine will produce approximately
37,000 ounces per year.
-- South Kalgoolieis operated by Alacer Gold and Franco-Nevada has
a 1.75% NSR on the portion of the project within Location 50.
On October 24th, Alacer announced the first stage of the
potential doubling of production to 2.5Mtpa from 1.2Mtpa
through a combination of a new processing facility, an expanded
open pit and underground mining.
-- NPIs - With the continued strong gold price environment and
increased margins from our operating partners, several of our
NPIs are reaching payout of their historical capital costs.
Franco-Nevada expects Musselwhite (operated by Goldcorp) and
Macassa (operated by Kirkland Lake Gold) to provide revenue to
Franco-Nevada in the fourth quarter. The Hemlo NPI (operated
by Barrick) is expected to contribute in late 2012.
-- Rosemont'sEnvironmental Impact Statement has entered the public
review process in which Franco-Nevada has a 1.5% revenue
royalty on all metals. At the same time, Augusta Resource
Corporation reports that an air permit has been denied which it
expects to challenge. Augusta expects average annual
production over its 21 year life to be 220 Mlbs of copper, 4.7
Mlbs of molybdenum and 2.4 Moz of silver.
-- Taseko's New Prosperity revised project description has been
formally accepted by the Canadian Environment Assessment Agency
('CEAA'). On November 7, the CEAA announced that the project
is to undergo an environmental assessment by the Federal review
panel with a final report submitted to the Federal Ministry of
the Environment within one year. New Prosperity is the largest
undeveloped copper-gold deposit in Canada. Under the terms of
a stream agreement, Franco-Nevada will purchase a 22% gold
stream interest by funding $350M in capital costs once the
project is fully permitted and financed. Gold production has
been estimated by Taseko to be an average of 300,000 ounces per
year for the first five years.
-- Agi Dagi is being advanced by Alamos Gold in Turkey.
Franco-Nevada has a 2% revenue royalty on Agi Dagi which also
covers most of the new Camyurt discovery nearby. An updated
mineral resource was completed in the third quarter and EIA
approval process has commenced. Alamos expects to complete a
pre-feasibility study in Q2 2012 incorporating additional
resources.
Financial Results Discussion
Revenues
Revenue was $113.3 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared with $55.0 million for the third quarter of 2010. The increase in revenue was mostly attributable to assets acquired in the Gold Wheaton transaction which contributed $35.0 million to the Company's third quarter revenue. In addition, revenue from Palmarejo and Stillwater was higher due to increases in average commodity prices and production levels at these mines. Revenue from Gold Quarry was also higher in the quarter compared to the third quarter of 2010 as the Company now recognizes a portion of the minimum ounce true-up in each quarter in 2011 whereas the minimum ounce true-up was recognized in the fourth quarter in previous years.
Revenue for the third quarter of 2011 was earned 91% from precious metal assets (77% gold and 14% PGMs), 8% from oil and gas (5% oil and 3% gas) and 1% from other minerals. Geographically, 77% of revenue came from North America (27% US, 25% Canada and 25% Mexico), Africa (19%), Australia (3%) and Other (1%). The components of revenue were earned as follows: 35% revenue-based, 54% streams, 8% profit-based, 2% working interests and 1% other.
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $292.7 million, an increase of 92%, over $152.3 million in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Increases were driven by assets acquired in the Gold Wheaton transaction, higher average commodity prices and organic growth within the portfolio.
Costs and expenses
Costs of sales include the costs of gold equivalent ounces purchased under stream agreements, oil & gas production taxes, operating costs on oil & gas working interests and net proceeds taxes on mineral interests. Costs of sales for the third quarter of 2011 were $16.2 million which included $13.7 million for the cost of stream ounces. Depletion and depreciation were $34.7 million, an increase of 76%, over $19.7 million recorded in the third quarter of 2010. Depletion was higher due to the addition of the Gold Wheaton assets, higher production at Gold Quarry, Palmarejo and Stillwater partially offset by lower depletion on Goldstrike due to lower production levels.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, costs of sales were $45.9 million compared to $21.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Depletion and depreciation of $97.4 million and $61.8 million were recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase was attributable in part to the streams acquired in the Gold Wheaton acquisition and Palmarejo, Gold Quarry and Stillwater, due to higher production levels. The increase was partially offset by lower depletion on Goldstrike and oil & gas assets due to lower production.
As part of the Gold Wheaton acquisition, the Company recorded a $13.5 million mark-to-market gain offset by $7.8 million in transaction costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Under IFRS, transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed rather than capitalized as was done under Canadian GAAP. In addition, the Company recorded $6.2 million in gains on the sale of certain investments during the three months ended September 30, 2011.
Income tax expense was $19.5 million and $41.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.
Net Income
Net income for the third quarter of 2011 was $44.1 million, or $0.35 per share, and Adjusted Net Income((1)) for the third quarter was $39.8 million, or $0.31 per share.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA were $97.2 million, or $0.76 per share, and $92.2 million, or $0.73 per share, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Our definitions of these non-IFRS financial measures and the reconciliations to IFRS measures can be found in the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis for Q3 2011 and at the end of this press release.
Balance Sheet and Capital Structure
As at September 30, 2011, Franco-Nevada had a strong financial position with no debt or hedges, working capital of $420.3 million, and investments valued at $62.8 million, of which $33.0 million are held in publicly traded equity investments. In addition, the Company has an undrawn $175 million unsecured revolving term credit facility available.
As at November 8, 2011, the Company had outstanding 127.7 million shares, 17.6 million warrants (including 6.1 million assumed from the acquisition of Gold Wheaton), 2.5 million stock options, 0.4 million other and a special warrant exerciseable into 2 million warrants.

Today, the Board of Directors of Franco-Nevada declared the monthly dividends for January, February and March 2012. The January dividend will be paid on January 26, 2012 to shareholders of record on January 12, 2012, the February dividend will be paid on February 23, 2012 to shareholders of record on February 9, 2012 and the March dividend will be paid on March 29, 2012 to shareholders of record on March 15, 2012.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Readers Regarding Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred ResourcesThis press release uses the terms 'indicated resources' and 'inferred resources'. We advise U.S. investors that while these terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, they are not recognized by the SEC. 'Inferred resources' have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an 'inferred' or 'indicated resource' will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of 'inferred resources' may not form the basis of a feasibility study or prefeasibility studies, except in rare cases. The SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute 'reserves' as in-place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of an indicated or inferred resource exists or is economically or legally mineable.
