FRANCO-NEVADA CORPORATION

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2014 and 2013

(Unaudited, expressed in millions of U.S. dollars, except 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 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 and Africa. The portfolio includes over 370 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, 2013 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, 2013, except for the adoption of new accounting standards as described in Note 2(b).  These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on May 7, 2014.

 

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, 2014 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)                         Changes in accounting policies

 

The Company adopted the following new standard, along with any consequential amendments effective January 1, 2014. Any changes were made in accordance with the applicable transitional provisions.

 

IFRC 21 Levies

 

In May 2013, the IASB issued IFRC 21 Levies which provides guidance on the recognition of levies imposed by governments. We adopted IFRC 21 effective January 1, 2014 which did not result in any change in the accounting treatment of levies.

 

Note 3 — Acquisitions

 

(a)         Fire Creek/Midas

 

On February 11, 2014, the Company signed a gold purchase agreement with Klondex Mines Ltd. (“Klondex”) and acquired a 2.5% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”) on Klondex’s Fire Creek and Midas properties, both of which are located in Nevada, U.S., for a total consideration of $35.0 million in cash. Under the terms of the gold purchase agreement, Klondex will deliver 38,250 ounces of gold, payable monthly, starting June 2014 and ending December 2018, to the Company following which the NSR will become payable on gold produced from the Fire Creek and Midas properties.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2014 and 2013

(Unaudited, expressed in millions of U.S. dollars, except share amounts)

 

(b)         Sabodala Gold Stream

 

On January 15, 2014, the Company acquired a 6.0% gold stream on Teranga Gold Corporation’s Sabodala gold project located in Senegal, Africa. Under the terms of the gold stream agreement, the Company funded a $135.0 million deposit in exchange for 22,500 ounces of gold per year, payable monthly, for the first six years of the agreement, after which the Company will purchase 6.0% of the gold produced from Sabodala. The Company will pay 20% of the market price of gold for each ounce delivered under the agreement.

 

Both of the above transactions were accounted for as asset acquisitions, with Fire Creek/Midas being split between other asset ($33.8 million) and royalty interest ($1.2 million) and Sabodala being classified as a stream asset on the statement of financial position.

 

Note 4 - Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

As at March 31, 2014, cash and cash equivalents were primarily held in interest-bearing deposits, Canadian and U.S. denominated treasury bills and highly-liquid government and corporate bonds.

These investments have been designated as available-for-sale and, as a result, have been recorded at fair value.

 

Non-current investments

 

These investments comprise: (i) equity interests in various public and non-public entities which the Company acquired through the open market, as part of its initial public offering or through transactions; (ii) warrants in various publicly-listed companies; and (iii) convertible debentures. 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 $4.7 million, has been designated as an equity investment held at cost as no reliable estimate of fair value can be determined as 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.

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2014 and 2013

(Unaudited, expressed in millions of U.S. dollars, except share amounts)

 

As at March 31, 2014, the market value of certain of these investments increased compared to their values at December 31, 2013 and the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $5.9 million (2013 — loss of $5.5 million), net of an income tax expense of $0.9 million, (2013 — income tax recovery of $0.8 million) in other comprehensive loss. As at March 31, 2014, the market value of the publicly-traded warrants increased compared to their value at December 31, 2013 and the Company recorded a mark-to-market gain of $2.0 million (2013 — loss of $4.0 million) in the consolidated statement of income.

 

Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements

 

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, convertible debentures and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature and historically negligible credit losses. The fair values of these financial assets and liabilities would be classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

 

We have not offset financial assets with financial liabilities.

(1)       Certain royalties, stream and working interests were written down by $112.9 million, which was included in earnings for the year ended December 31, 2013, to their fair value of $19.7 million.

 

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 Canadian and U.S. denominated treasury bills and interest bearing cash deposits, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets. Our cash equivalents also include highly-liquid government and corporate bonds which are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

b)                 Short-term investments

 

The fair values of treasury bills are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of government and corporate bonds are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

c)              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.

 

d)             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.

 

e)              Royalty, stream and working interests

 

The fair values of royalty, stream and working interests are determined primarily using a market approach using unobservable cash-flows and dollar value per ounce for comparable entities, where applicable. As a result, the fair values are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
