Canada Revenue Agency Audit

The Company is undergoing an audit by the CRA of its 2012-2019 taxation years, as referenced in Note 21.

Global Minimum Tax

Canada, together with approximately 140 other countries comprising the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on BEPS (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting), agreed to in principle in 2021, certain base erosion tax initiatives, including the introduction of a 15% global minimum tax (“Pillar Two”) that applies to large multinational enterprise groups with global consolidated revenues over €750 million.

On March 28, 2023, the Government of Canada reaffirmed its intention to implement Pillar Two effective for fiscal years that begin on or after December 31, 2023.  The government intends to release draft legislation, which is expected to closely follow the detailed model rules, commentary, and administrative guidance agreed to by the Inclusive Framework. Management has been evaluating the Pillar Two proposals, and once Canadian draft legislation is released, Management will review the legislation and assess the impact to the Company.

If the rules are enacted or substantively enacted, it could result in Franco-Nevada’s profits being subject to additional taxation.

Note 19 - 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 (i.e. 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.

There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis:

	Quoted prices in		Significant other		Significant
	active markets for		observable		unobservable

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

(unaudited, expressed in millions of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

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

(a) Receivables

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

(b) Investments

The fair values of publicly-traded investments 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.

The Company holds one equity investment that does not have a quoted market price in an active market. The Company has assessed the fair value of the instruments based on a valuation technique using unobservable discounted future cash flows. As a result, the fair value is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair values of warrants are estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model which requires the use of inputs that are observable in the market. As such, these investments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair values of the Company’s remaining financial assets and liabilities, which include cash and cash equivalents, 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.

Note 21 - Contingencies

Canada Revenue Agency Audit

The CRA is conducting an audit of Franco-Nevada for the 2012-2019 taxation years.

Subsequent to the quarter-end, on April 28, 2023, the Company reached a settlement with the CRA with respect to the Domestic Reassessments and FAPI Reassessments (as defined below), with such reassessments to be vacated entirely as the CRA has accepted the manner in which the Company deducted upfront payments made in connection with precious metal stream agreements for Canadian tax purposes. The potential tax exposure related to the reassessment to be vacated was $19.6 million (C$26.5 million) and $8.5 million (C$11.6 million), respectively, including interest and other penalties.

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 Reassessments (as defined below), or for any potential tax exposure that may arise in respect of these matters. The Company does not believe that the remaining Reassessments are supported by Canadian tax law and jurisprudence and intends to vigorously defend its tax filing positions.

FAPI (Barbados)	The FAPI provisions in the Act (as defined below) apply such that a majority of the income relating to precious metal streams earned by the Company’s Barbadian subsidiary, in 2012 and 2013, should be included in the income of the Company and subject to tax in Canada.	2012, 2013	For 2012-2013: Tax: $5.7 (C$7.7) Interest and other penalties: $2.8 (C$3.9) Based on CRA’s proposal letter, no reassessments for this issue for years after 2013 are expected. On April 28, 2023, the Company reached a settlement with the CRA in respect of the FAPI tax matter, on the basis that the FAPI Reassessments will be vacated.

(a) Canadian Domestic Tax Matters (2014-2017)

In October 2019, September 2021 and April 2022, certain wholly-owned Canadian subsidiaries of the Company received Notices of Reassessment for the 2014 through 2017 taxation years (the “Domestic Reassessments”) in which the CRA increased income by adjusting the timing of the deduction of the upfront payments which were made in connection with precious metal stream agreements. The CRA’s position was that the upfront payment should be deducted for income tax purposes in a similar manner to how such upfront payment is expensed for financial

statement purposes. Consequently, the CRA’s reassessment position resulted in a slower deduction of the upfront payment and an acceleration of the payment of Canadian taxes. This resulted in the Company being subject to an incremental payment of Federal and provincial income taxes for these years of $14.6 million (C$19.9 million) (after applying available non-capital losses and other deductions) plus estimated interest (calculated to March 31, 2023) and other penalties of $5.0 million (C$6.6 million).

On April 28, 2023, the Company reached a settlement with the CRA in respect of the Domestic Reassessments whereby the CRA accepted the manner in which the Company deducted upfront payments made in connection with precious metal stream agreements for Canadian tax purposes. The settlement will result in the Domestic Reassessments being vacated and is on a without-costs basis. While the settlement only addresses the taxation years that were reassessed (2014-2017), the Company’s expectation is that the manner in which it deducts upfront payments made in connection with precious metal stream agreements for Canadian tax purposes will now be accepted by the CRA for the subsequent years.

The Company had posted security in cash for 50% of the reassessed amounts under the Domestic Reassessments and expects this amount of $9.9 million (C$12.5 million) to be fully recovered.

(b) Mexico (2013-2016)

In December 2018 and December 2019, the Company received Notices of Reassessment from the CRA for the 2013 taxation year (the “2013 Reassessment”) and for the 2014 and 2015 taxation years (the “2014 and 2015 Reassessments”, collectively with the 2013 Reassessment, the “2013-2015 Reassessments”) in relation to its Mexican subsidiary. The reassessments were made on the basis of the transfer pricing provisions in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Act”) and assert that a majority of the income earned by the Mexican subsidiary should have been included in the income of the Company and subject to tax in Canada. The 2013-2015 Reassessments result in additional Federal and provincial income taxes of $18.7 million (C$25.3 million) plus estimated interest (calculated to March 31, 2023) and other penalties of $10.5 million (C$14.3 million) but before any relief under the Canada-Mexico tax treaty. The Company has filed formal Notices of Objection with the CRA against the 2013-2015 Reassessments and has posted security in the form of a standby letter of credit for 50% of the reassessed amounts, as referenced in Note 9.

In December 2020, the CRA issued revised 2013-2015 Reassessments to include transfer pricing penalties of $7.7 million (C$10.3 million). The Company has filed formal Notices of Objection with the CRA against these revised reassessments and has posted security in the form of cash for 50% of the reassessed amounts of penalties, as referenced in Note 8. The Company has commenced an appeal in the Tax Court of Canada with respect to the 2013-2015 Reassessments.

On December 21, 2021, the Company received a Notice of Reassessment for the 2016 taxation year (the “2016 Reassessment”) on the same basis as the 2013-2015 Reassessments, resulting in additional Federal and provincial income taxes of $3.4 million (C$4.6 million) plus estimated interest (calculated to March 31, 2023) and other penalties of $1.2 million (C$1.6 million) but before any relief under the Canada-Mexico tax treaty. The Company’s Mexican subsidiary ceased operations after 2016 and no reassessments are expected for subsequent years.

The 2016 Reassessment did not include transfer pricing penalties which are currently under review. If the CRA were to apply transfer pricing penalties, the Company estimates that the amount would be approximately $1.3 million (C$1.7 million). The Company has filed a formal Notice of Objection with the CRA against the 2016 Reassessment and has posted security in the form of cash for 50% of the reassessed amounts, as referenced in Note 8.

For taxation years 2013 through 2016, the Company’s Mexican subsidiary paid a total of $34.1 million (490.3 million Pesos) in cash taxes, at a 30% tax rate, to the Mexican tax authorities on income earned in Mexico. If required, the Company intends to seek relief from double taxation under the Canada-Mexico tax treaty.

(c) Barbados (2014-2017)

The 2014 and 2015 Reassessments also reassess the Company in relation to its Barbadian subsidiary. The reassessments were made on the basis of the transfer pricing provisions in the Act and assert that a majority of the income relating to certain precious metal streams earned by the Barbadian subsidiary should have been included in the income of the Company and subject to tax in Canada, resulting in additional Federal and provincial income taxes of $5.0 million (C$6.7 million) plus estimated interest (calculated to March 31, 2023) and other penalties of $2.7 million (C$3.6 million). As noted previously, the Company has filed formal Notices of Objection with the CRA against the 2014 and 2015 Reassessments and has posted security in the form of a standby letter of credit for 50% of the reassessed amounts, as referenced in Note 9.

As noted above, in December 2020, the CRA issued revised 2014 and 2015 Reassessments to include transfer pricing penalties of $1.8 million (C$2.5 million). The Company has filed formal Notices of Objection with the CRA against these revised reassessments and has posted security in the form of cash for 50% of the reassessed amounts of penalties, as referenced in Note 8. The Company has commenced an appeal in the Tax Court of Canada with respect to the 2014-2015 Reassessments.

On December 21, 2021, the Company received the 2016 Reassessment as well as a Notice of Reassessment for the 2017 taxation year (the “2017 Reassessment”, collectively with the 2016 Reassessment, the “2016 and 2017 Reassessments”) that reassess the Company in relation to its Barbadian subsidiary on the same basis as the 2014 and 2015 Reassessments, resulting in additional Federal and provincial income taxes of $29.4 million (C$39.8 million) plus estimated interest (calculated to March 31, 2023) and other penalties of $9.3 million (C$12.7 million). The 2016 and 2017 Reassessments did not include transfer pricing penalties which are currently under review. If the CRA were to apply transfer pricing penalties, the Company estimates that the amounts would be approximately $11.1 million (C$15.1 million). The Company has filed formal Notices of Objection with the CRA against the 2016 and 2017 Reassessments and has posted security in the form of cash for 50% of the reassessed amounts, as referenced in Note 8.

If the CRA were to reassess the Company for taxation years 2018 through 2022 on the same basis and continue to apply transfer pricing penalties, the Company estimates that it would be subject to additional Canadian tax for these years of approximately $217.0 million (C$293.7 million), transfer pricing penalties of approximately $81.9 million (C$110.9 million) plus interest (calculated to March 31, 2023) and other penalties of approximately $27.1 million (C$36.7 million).

(d) Barbados (2012-2013)

In August 2020, the Company received Notices of Reassessment for the 2012 and 2013 taxation years (the “FAPI Reassessments” and, collectively with the Domestic Reassessments, the 2013 Reassessment, the 2014 and 2015 Reassessments, and the 2016 and 2017 Reassessments, the “Reassessments”) in relation to its Barbadian subsidiary. The FAPI Reassessments asserted that a majority of the income relating to precious metal streams earned by the Barbadian subsidiary, in those years, should have been included in the income of its Canadian parent company and subject to tax in Canada as Foreign Accrual Property Income (“FAPI”). The CRA has noted that its position may not extend beyond the 2013 taxation year. The FAPI Reassessments resulted in additional Federal and provincial income taxes of $5.7 million (C$7.7 million) plus estimated interest (calculated to March 31, 2023) and other penalties of $2.8 million (C$3.9 million).

On April 28, 2023, the Company reached a settlement with the CRA in respect of the FAPI Reassessments whereby the CRA accepted the manner in which the Company deducted upfront payments made in connection with precious metal stream agreements for Canadian tax purposes, which would result in no FAPI in 2012 and 2013 as computed under Canadian tax law. The settlement will result in the reassessments being vacated and is on a without-costs basis.

The Company had posted security in cash for 50% of the reassessed amounts under the FAPI Reassessment and expects this amount of $4.0 million (C$5.2 million) to be fully recovered.

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.
