These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on August 8, 2025.
(b) Significant Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards requires the Company to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The areas of judgment and estimation are consistent with those reported in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (“IFRS 7”). The amendments clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of financial assets and liabilities, clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest criterion, add new disclosures for financial instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows, and update the disclosure for equity investments designated at FVTOCI. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the amendments.

IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In April 2024, IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”) was issued to achieve comparability of the financial performance of similar entities.

The standard will also require management-defined performance measures to be explained and included in a separate note within the consolidated financial statements. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including interim financial statements, and requires retrospective application. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard.

Cobre Panama currently remains in a phase of preservation and safe management (“P&SM”) with production halted since November 2023. First Quantum Minerals Ltd. (“First Quantum”) has been working with the Ministry of Commerce and Industries (“MICI”) to implement a plan that would allow for the execution of environmental and asset integrity measures during the P&SM phase of Cobre Panama (the “P&SM Plan”). On May 30, 2025, the Government of Panama, through the MICI, approved and formally instructed the execution of the P&SM Plan, including the sale of the copper concentrate that had remained on site. Exports of the copper concentrate commenced in June 2025 and were completed by the end of July 2025.

Franco-Nevada Corporation
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements |
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
(expressed in millions of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)
In 2024, the CRA expanded its audit to include the 2020 and 2021 taxation years. The Company has not received any proposal or Notices of Reassessment for these taxation years in connection with this audit.
Management believes that the Company and its subsidiaries have filed all tax returns and paid all applicable taxes in compliance with Canadian and applicable foreign tax laws and, as a result, no liabilities have been recorded in the financial statements of the Company for the Transfer Pricing Reassessments, or for any potential tax exposure that may arise in respect of these matters. The Company does not believe that the Transfer Pricing Reassessments are supported by Canadian tax law and jurisprudence and intends to vigorously defend its tax filing positions.
The CRA audit is ongoing and there can be no assurance that the CRA will not further challenge the manner in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries has filed its tax returns and reported its income. In the event that the CRA successfully challenges the manner in which the Company or a subsidiary has filed its tax returns and reported its income, this could potentially result in additional income taxes, penalties and interest, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
