Franco-Nevada Reports Q2 2015 Results and Declares Quarterly Dividend

TORONTO, August 10, 2015 - Franco-Nevada Corporation (TSX: FNV; NYSE: FNV) today reported second quarter 2015 financial results realizing 83,040 Gold Equivalent Ounces (“GEOs”)(1) from its mineral assets and $10.3 million in revenue from its oil & gas assets. Net Income and Adjusted Net Income(2) were $21.6 million, or $0.14 per share, and $22.9 million, or $0.15 per share, respectively, with Adjusted EBITDA(3) being $82.2 million, or $0.53 per share.

“Franco-Nevada’s diversified portfolio continues to deliver very stable revenues and cash flows despite declining commodity prices,” said David Harquail, President and CEO.  “Our balance sheet remains very liquid with no debt.  We see downturns as an opportunity for even better investments. There continues to be many active opportunities and Franco-Nevada has increased its credit facility to $750 million to be better positioned to act on the right ones.”

For the second quarter 2015, revenue was earned 88% from precious metals (80% gold and 8% PGM) and 82% from the Americas (17% U.S., 24% Canada and 41% Latin America). Costs and expenses were impacted by higher depletion expense and costs of sales due to the recent Candelaria acquisition. Oil & gas production levels were stable with the associated oil & gas revenue decreasing significantly year over year due to lower average oil & gas prices in 2015. Cash provided by operating activities before changes to working capital was $78.0 million.

Portfolio Updates

·Gold — U.S.: GEOs from U.S. gold assets increased to 11,715 GEOs mainly due to the Fire Creek/Midas acquisition and higher production at Marigold, Bald Mountain and Gold Quarry. Silver Standard Resources Inc. has reported new mineralized zones at Marigold while Klondex Mines Ltd. has increased 2015 production guidance at Fire Creek/Midas. At South Arturo, Premier Gold Mines Limited reports construction is progressing well with Barrick as a 60% owner/operator. Production is expected to be processed at Goldstrike and is forecasted to be over 200,000 ounces in 2016. Franco-Nevada holds a 4-9% royalty depending on metallurgy, grade and throughput.

·Gold — Canada: GEOs from Canadian assets decreased in the quarter due to lower production at the Sudbury streams and Hemlo NPI. Lake Shore Gold Corp. has announced a second gold discovery at its 144 Gap Zone where Franco-Nevada holds a 2.25% NSR. Rubicon Minerals Corporation announced its first gold pour at its Phoenix project where Franco-Nevada holds a royalty.

·Gold — Latin America: Candelaria had a strong quarter delivering 24,192 GEOs to Franco-Nevada. On July 29, 2015, Lundin announced an updated mine plan for Candelaria. The plan indicates 26% higher precious metal production over the next four years than originally indicated in Lundin’s October 6, 2014 NI 43-101 Technical Report.

·Gold — Rest of World: Contributions from Sabodala and Mine Waste Solutions represented approximately 70% of the total GEOs received from Rest of World gold assets for Q2 2015. Perseus Mining Limited has announced its decision to proceed with development of the Sissingue gold project where Franco-Nevada holds a 0.5% NSR.

·PGM: PGM GEOs were impacted by the declining palladium and platinum prices in the quarter.

·Oil & gas: Revenue from oil & gas assets was $10.3 million in Q2 2015 with similar production levels as Q2 2014. The decrease in revenue is the result of lower average oil & gas prices.

In addition, statements (including data in tables) relating to reserves and resources and gold equivalent ounces are forward looking statements, as they involve implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, and no assurance can be given that the estimates will be realized. Such forward looking statements reflect management’s current beliefs and are based on information currently available to management. Often, but not always, forward looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budgets”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “predicts”, “projects”, “intends”, “targets”, “aims”, “anticipates” or “believes” or variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases or may be identified by statements to the effect that certain actions “may”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Franco-Nevada to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward looking statements. A number of factors could cause actual events or results to differ materially from any forward looking statement, including, without limitation: fluctuations in the prices of the primary commodities that drive royalty and stream revenue (gold, platinum group metals, copper, nickel, uranium, silver, iron-ore and oil and gas); fluctuations in the value of the Canadian and Australian dollar, Mexican peso and any other currency in which revenue is generated, relative to the U.S. dollar; changes in national and local government legislation, including permitting and licensing regimes and taxation policies; regulations and political or economic developments in any of the countries where properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest are located or through which they are held; risks related to the operators of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest, including changes in the ownership and control of such operators; influence of macroeconomic developments; business opportunities that become available to, or are pursued by Franco-Nevada; reduced access to debt and equity capital; litigation; title, permit or license disputes related to interests on any of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest; whether or not Franco-Nevada is determined to have PFIC status; potential changes in Canadian tax treatment of offshore streams; excessive cost escalation as well as development, permitting, infrastructure, operating or technical difficulties on any of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest; actual mineral content may differ from the reserves and resources contained in technical reports; rate and timing of production differences from resource estimates, other technical reports and mine plans; risks and hazards associated with the business of development and mining on any of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest, including, but not limited to unusual or unexpected geological and metallurgical conditions, slope failures or cave-ins, flooding

and other natural disasters, terrorism, civil unrest or an outbreak of contagious disease; and the integration of acquired assets.  The forward looking statements contained in this press release are based upon assumptions management believes to be reasonable, including, without limitation: the ongoing operation of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest by the owners or operators of such properties in a manner consistent with past practice; the accuracy of public statements and disclosures made by the owners or operators of such underlying properties; no material adverse change in the market price of the commodities that underlie the asset portfolio; Franco-Nevada’s ongoing income and assets relating to determination of its PFIC status; no material change to existing tax treatment; no adverse development in respect of any significant property in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest; the accuracy of publicly disclosed expectations for the development of underlying properties that are not yet in production; integration of acquired assets; and the absence of any other factors that could cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. However, there can be no assurance that forward looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements and investors are cautioned that forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Franco-Nevada cannot assure investors that actual results will be consistent with these forward looking statements. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein.  For additional information with respect to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, please refer to the “Risk Factors” section of Franco-Nevada’s most recent Annual Information Form as well as Franco-Nevada’s most recent annual Management’s Discussion and Analysis filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities on www.sedar.com and Franco-Nevada’s most recent Annual Report filed on Form 40-F filed with the SEC on www.sec.gov.  The forward looking statements herein are made as of the date of this press release only and Franco-Nevada does not assume any obligation to update or revise them to reflect new information, estimates or opinions, future events or results or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

NON-IFRS MEASURES:  Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.  These measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS.  Other companies may calculate these measures differently. For a reconciliation of these measures to various IFRS measures, please see below or the Company’s current MD&A disclosure found on the Company’s website, on SEDAR and on EDGAR.

(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 Q2 2015, the average commodity prices were as follows: $1,193/oz gold (2014 - $1,289/oz); $1,127/oz platinum (2014 - $1,447/oz); $16.41/oz silver (2014 - $19.62/oz) and $760/oz palladium (2014 - $815/oz).

(2)Adjusted Net Income is defined by the Company as net income (loss) excluding foreign exchange gains/losses, gains/losses on the sale of investments, impairment charges related to royalties, streams, working interests and investments, unusual non-recurring items, and the impact of taxes on all these items.

(3)Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as net income (loss) excluding income tax expense/recovery, finance income and expenses, foreign exchange gains/losses, gains/losses on the sale of investments, depletion and depreciation, non-cash costs of sales and impairment charges related to royalties, streams, working interests and investments.
