Consolidated Financial Statements 23

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 28

Dear fellow shareholders,

Q2 2024 Review

We are pleased to report that during the second quarter of 2024, Sprott’s Assets Under Management (“AUM”) increased to $31.1 billion, up 6% from $29.4 billion as at March 31, 2024 and up 8% from $28.7 billion as at December 31, 2023. Subsequent to the quarter end, on August 1, 2024, AUM stood at $31.5 billion.

Adjusted base EBITDA was $22.4 million ($0.88 per share) in the quarter, up 25% from $18 million ($0.71 per share) for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and $42.1 million ($1.66 per share) on a year-to-date basis, up 19% from $35.3 million ($1.40 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Adjusted base EBITDA on both a three and six months ended basis benefited from higher management fees on improved market valuations in our precious metals exchange listed products, higher commission income on increased ATM activity in our critical materials exchange listed products and higher finance income in our private strategies segment due to higher streaming syndication fees.

Our AUM continues to grow as gold and silver gained 4.3% and 16.7% respectively during the period, while uranium prices pulled back by 3.2%. After more than four years of positive net sales, we started 2024 with $284 million of net redemptions in the first quarter. This quarter, we returned to positive net sales with $357 million of net inflows and an additional $110 million from the recent initial public offering ("IPO") of the Sprott Physical Copper Trust ("COP"), bringing our net sales in the first half of the year to $183 million, inclusive of the COP IPO.

Critical Materials

The most important development during the period was the IPO of COP. The launch of this new trust was a strategic priority for Sprott and the latest addition to our critical materials investment strategies. As the world’s first physical copper fund, COP is designed to provide investors with an alternative to investing in copper futures and a way for institutions and individual clients to complement their equity positions. In this challenging environment for new listings, the successful launch could not have happened without the support of our existing clients and shareholders.

We recently marked the third anniversary of the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust (“SPUT”). Since its launch in July of 2021, SPUT’s holdings have increased from 18 million pounds of physical uranium to more than 65.5 million pounds. Over this time, SPUT’s net asset value has grown from approximately $600 million to approximately $5.6 billion as at June 30, 2024. SPUT is now the world's largest physical uranium fund and has delivered a cumulative return of 150.9% to investors since inception.

The success of SPUT and our uranium miners ETFs has helped Sprott build a global brand as a leader in critical materials investments. This has resulted in an impressive network of institutions, family offices and individual investors seeking access to these investment strategies. We are confident that COP will continue to scale as we begin to engage with this audience, as well as the larger generalist funds that are increasingly seeking exposure to copper and critical materials investments.

Precious Metals

Gold and silver performed well in the first half of 2024. Gold recently reached a new record high of $2,484 before retreating below $2,400 as at June 30 on profit taking. Silver achieved its highest quarterly close since Q3 2012 at $29.14, buoyed by gold’s move, global monetary expansion policies and demand from the photovoltaic sector. We continue to note that the series of new highs set in 2024 have been reached with limited investor participation in the precious metals sector. As our market strategist, Paul Wong put it: “Overall, central banks and sovereigns are providing a rising floor price on gold, while investment funds and algorithms are becoming more short-term in their trading patterns, creating short-lived volatility spikes.” We continue to believe that a return of interest from investors has the potential to add significantly to precious metals prices and that the most logical path for both metals is considerably higher from here.

Managed Equities

While gold and silver have enjoyed a strong first half of the year, the mining equities have stubbornly lagged the metals themselves.

As stated by Senior Portfolio Manager, John Hathaway: “Gold mining equities continue to trade well below the peak of four years ago, a sign of deeply negative sentiment about the outlook for precious metals. In Western capital markets, gold ownership remains at rock-bottom levels. Disinterest is astonishing in light of the fact that gold has outperformed equities and bonds since 2000, the beginning of central bank radical monetary experimentation."

Despite the lack of investor interest, our actively managed strategies have delivered strong performance this year. Our flagship Sprott Gold Equity Fund was up 21.3% on a year-to-date basis.

2024 Outlook

As of this writing, little has changed from the outlook we presented at the start of 2024. As expected, inflation remained a bit stickier than most had hoped in the first half of the year. While many countries have begun to cut interest rates, in the US, short-term rates are unchanged although expectations have fluctuated wildly over the last six months. Fiscal deficits continue to grow to new recessionary records as a percent of U.S. GDP. Two wars continue with no feasible end in sight. The upcoming U.S. election has been turned on its head by the recent assassination attempt on former President Trump as well as President Biden’s decision not to seek re-election. Globally, recent election results reflect a general dissatisfaction with the incumbents.

Fortunately, as noted above, gold prices have responded favorably to these difficult fundamentals, setting new highs, while the miners have reacted less dramatically than we would expect. However, this sector is virtually unowned. It will not take much of a re-allocation from Mega-Cap technology and Artificial Intelligence stocks to create fantastic performance within this group.

Despite some recent weakness, which we expect to be short-lived, the outlook for uranium, copper and their related equities has never been better. We believe our critical materials investment strategies will continue to increase in scale and offer ever improving complement to our precious metals offerings.

We remain confident in our positioning and pleased with our continued asset growth and steadily improving financial performance. Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to reporting to you on our progress in the quarters ahead.

Sincerely,

Whitney George

Chief Executive Officer

Management's Discussion and Analysis

Three and six months ended June 30, 2024

Forward looking statements

Certain statements in this Management's Discussion & Analysis ("MD&A"), and in particular the "Outlook" section, contain forward-looking information and forward-looking statements (collectively referred to herein as the "Forward-Looking Statements") within the meaning of applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws. The use of any of the words "expect", "anticipate", "continue", "estimate", "may", "will", "project", "should", "believe", "plans", "intends" and similar expressions are intended to identify Forward-Looking Statements. In particular, but without limiting the forgoing, this MD&A contains Forward-Looking Statements pertaining to: (i) We continue to believe that a return of interest from investors has the potential to add significantly to precious metals prices and that the most logical path for both metals is considerably higher from here; (ii) our positioning will benefit from a highly constructive operating environment for precious metals, critical materials and their related equities; (iii) our belief that our critical materials investment strategies will continue to increase in scale and offer ever improving complement to our precious metals offerings; and (iv) the declaration, payment and designation of dividends and confidence that our business will support the dividend level without impacting our ability to fund future growth initiatives.

Although the Company believes that the Forward-Looking Statements are reasonable, they are not guarantees of future results, performance or achievements. A number of factors or assumptions have been used to develop the Forward-Looking Statements, including: (i) the impact of increasing competition in each business in which the Company operates will not be material; (ii) quality management will be available; (iii) the effects of regulation and tax laws of governmental agencies will be consistent with the current environment; (iv) the impact of public health outbreaks; and (v) those assumptions disclosed herein under the heading "Critical Accounting Estimates and significant judgments". Actual results, performance or achievements could vary materially from those expressed or implied by the Forward-Looking Statements should assumptions underlying the Forward-Looking Statements prove incorrect or should one or more risks or other factors materialize, including: (i) difficult market conditions; (ii) poor investment performance; (iii) failure to continue to retain and attract quality staff; (iv) employee errors or misconduct resulting in regulatory sanctions or reputational harm; (v) performance fee fluctuations; (vi) a business segment or another counterparty failing to pay its financial obligation; (vii) failure of the Company to meet its demand for cash or fund obligations as they come due; (viii) changes in the investment management industry; (ix) failure to implement effective information security policies, procedures and capabilities; (x) lack of investment opportunities; (xi) risks related to regulatory compliance; (xii) failure to manage risks appropriately; (xiii) failure to deal appropriately with conflicts of interest; (xiv) competitive pressures; (xv) corporate growth which may be difficult to sustain and may place significant demands on existing administrative, operational and financial resources; (xvi) failure to comply with privacy laws; (xvii) failure to successfully implement succession planning; (xviii) foreign exchange risk relating to the relative value of the U.S. dollar; (xix) litigation risk; (xx) failure to develop effective business resiliency plans; (xxi) failure to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage on favorable economic terms; (xxii) historical financial information being not necessarily indicative of future performance; (xxiii) the market price of common shares of the Company may fluctuate widely and rapidly; (xxiv) risks relating to the Company’s investment products; (xxv) risks relating to the Company's proprietary investments; (xxvi) risks relating to the Company's private strategies business; (xxvii) those risks described under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company’s annual information form dated February 20, 2024; and (xxviii) those risks described under the headings "Managing Financial Risk" and "Managing Non-Financial Risk" in this MD&A. In addition, the payment of dividends is not guaranteed and the amount and timing of any dividends payable by the Company will be at the discretion of the board of directors of the Company and will be established on the basis of the Company’s earnings, the satisfaction of solvency tests imposed by applicable corporate law for the declaration and payment of dividends, and other relevant factors. The Forward-Looking Statements speak only as of the date hereof, unless otherwise specifically noted, and the Company does not assume any obligation to publicly update any Forward-Looking Statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be expressly required by applicable securities laws.

Management's discussion and analysis

This MD&A of financial condition and results of operations, dated August 6, 2024, presents an analysis of the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries as at June 30, 2024, compared with December 31, 2023, and the consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The board of directors of the Company approved this MD&A on August 6, 2024. All note references in this MD&A are to the notes to the Company's June 30, 2024 interim condensed consolidated financial statements ("interim financial statements"), unless otherwise noted. The Company was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on February 13, 2008.

Presentation of financial information

The interim financial statements, including the required comparative information, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") in effect as at June 30, 2024, specifically, IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. Financial results, including related historical comparatives contained in this MD&A, unless otherwise specified herein, are based on the interim financial statements. While the Company's source and presentation currency is the U.S. dollar, IFRS requires that the Company measure its foreign exchange gains and losses through its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income using the Canadian dollar as its functional currency. Accordingly, all dollar references in this MD&A are in U.S. dollars, however the translation gains and losses were measured using the Canadian dollar as the functional currency. The use of the term "prior period" refers to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Key performance indicators and non-IFRS and other financial measures

The Company measures the success of its business using a number of key performance indicators that are not measurements in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or any other measure of performance under IFRS. Non-IFRS financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Our key performance indicators and non-IFRS and other financial measures are discussed below. For quantitative reconciliations of non-IFRS financial measures to their most directly comparable IFRS financial measures, please see page 10 of this MD&A.

Assets under management

Assets under management ("AUM") refers to the total net assets managed by the Company through its various investment product offerings and managed accounts.

Net inflows

Net inflows result in changes to AUM, and as such, have a direct impact on the revenues and earnings of the Company. They are described individually below:

At-the-market ("ATM") transactions and ETF unit creations

ATM transactions of our physical trusts and new 'creations' of ETF units are the primary manner in which inflows arise in our exchange listed products segment.

Net sales

Fund sales (net of redemptions) are the primary manner in which inflows arise in our managed equities segment.

Net capital calls

Capital calls, net of capital distributions ("net capital calls") are the primary manner in which inflows arise in our private strategies segment.

Other net inflows

Other net inflows include: (1) fund acquisitions, (2) new AUM from fund launches; and (3) lost AUM from fund closures. It is possible for committed capital in our private strategies to earn a commitment fee despite being uncalled, in which case, it will also be included in this category as AUM.

Net fees

Management fees, net of fund expenses, direct payouts, and carried interest and performance fees, net of carried interest and performance fee payouts (internal and external), are key revenue indicators as they represent the net revenue contribution after directly associated costs that we generate from our AUM.

Net commissions

Commissions, net of commission expenses (internal and external), arise from purchases and sales of critical materials in our exchange listed products segment and transaction-based service offerings by our broker-dealers.

Net compensation

Net compensation excludes commission expenses paid to employees, other direct payouts to employees, carried interest and performance fee payouts to employees, which are all presented net of their related revenues in this MD&A, and severance, new hire accruals and other which are non-recurring.

Total shareholder return

Total shareholder return is the financial gain (loss) that results from a change in the Company's share price, plus any dividends paid over the period.

Liquid co-investments

Liquid co-investments are the Company's co-investments that can be monetized in less than 90 days.

EBITDA, adjusted base EBITDA and adjusted base EBITDA margin

EBITDA in its most basic form is defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted base EBITDA further adjusts for items noted in the below reconciliation table. Adjusted base EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted base EBITDA from reportable segments divided by net revenues before: (1) gains (losses) on investments, (2) revenues from non-reportable segments; and (3) carried interest and performance fees, net of carried interest and performance fee payouts (internal and external).

EBITDA, adjusted base EBITDA and adjusted base EBITDA margin are measures commonly used in the investment industry by management, investors and investment analysts in understanding and comparing results by factoring out the impact of different financing methods, capital structures, amortization techniques and income tax rates between companies in the same industry. While other companies, investors or investment analysts may not utilize the same method of calculating EBITDA (or adjustments thereto), the Company believes its adjusted base EBITDA metric results in a better comparison of the Company's underlying operations against its peers and a better indicator of recurring results from operations as compared to other non-IFRS financial measures. Adjusted base EBITDA margins are a key indicator of a Company’s profitability on a per dollar of revenue basis, and as such, is commonly used in the financial services sector by analysts, investors and management.

Neither EBITDA, adjusted base EBITDA, or adjusted base EBITDA margin have a standardized meaning under IFRS. Consequently, they should not be considered in isolation, nor should they be used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The following table outlines how our EBITDA, adjusted base EBITDA and adjusted base EBITDA margin measures are determined:

	3 months ended				6 months ended
(in thousands $)	Jun. 30, 2024		Jun. 30, 2023		Jun. 30, 2024		Jun. 30, 2023

Adjusted base EBITDA	22,375		17,953		42,126		35,274
Adjusted base EBITDA margin (4)	58	%	57	%	58	%	57	%

(1) This adjustment removes the income effects of certain gains or losses on short-term investments, co-investments, and digital gold strategies to ensure the reporting objectives of our EBITDA metric as described above are met.

(2) In prior years, the mark-to-market expense of DSU issuances were included with "other (income) and expenses". In the current period, these costs are included as part of "stock-based compensation". Prior year figures have been reclassified to conform with current presentation.

(3) Foreign exchange (gain) and loss, severance, new hire accruals and other; revaluation of contingent consideration; costs relating to exit of non-core business; non-recurring regulatory, professional fees and other; and shares received on recognition of contingent asset were previously included with "other (income) and expenses" and are now shown separately in the reconciliation of adjusted base EBITDA above. Prior year figures have been reclassified to conform with current presentation.

(4) Prior year figures have been restated to remove the adjustment of depreciation and amortization.

Business development and outlook

On June 6, 2024, we launched the Sprott Physical Copper Trust ("COP"), the world's first physical copper investment fund. COP closed its initial public offering for gross proceeds of $110 million. Subsequent to the quarter-end, on July 8, 2024 COP established an ATM equity program to issue up to an additional $500 million of trust units. COP was created to provide investors with an alternative to rolling copper futures and a complement to investing in copper mining equities. COP is a closed-end trust trading in U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbols "COP.U" and "COP.UN", respectively.

We remain confident in our positioning and pleased with our continued asset growth and steadily improving financial performance.

Subsequent to quarter-end, as at August 1, 2024, AUM was $31.5 billion, up 2% from $31.1 billion at June 30, 2024.

(1) Previously, management fees within the above summary financial information table included SG&A recoveries from funds consistent with IFRS 15. For management reporting purposes, these recoveries are now shown next to their associated expense as management believes this will enable readers to transparently identify the net economics of these recoveries.

Key revenue lines

Management, carried interest and performance fees

Management fees were $38.1 million in the quarter, up 16% from $32.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and $74.4 million on a year-to-date basis, up 16% from $64.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Carried interest and performance fees were $0.7 million in the quarter and on a year-to-date basis, up 80% from $0.4 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023. Net fees were $34.4 million in the quarter, up 15% from $29.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and $67.1 million on a year-to-date basis, up 16% from $58.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Our revenue performance on both a three and six months ended basis was primarily due to higher average AUM on good market value appreciation across most of our exchange listed products since last year.

Commission revenues

Commission revenues were $3.3 million in the quarter, up from $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and $4.4 million on a year-to-date basis, down 32% from $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Net commissions were $1.5 million in the quarter, up 34% from $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and $2 million on a year-to-date basis, down 43% from $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Higher commissions in the quarter were due to increased ATM activity in our physical uranium trust and the launch of COP. On a year-to-date basis, lower commissions were due to the sale of our former Canadian broker-dealer in the second quarter of last year.

Finance income

Finance income was $4.1 million in the quarter, up from $1.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and $5.9 million on a year-to-date basis, up 78% from $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in finance income was due to higher income earned on streaming syndication activity.

Key expense lines

Compensation

Net compensation expense was $17.2 million in the quarter, up 12% from $15.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and $33.5 million on a year-to-date basis, up 9% from $30.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in the quarter was primarily due to increased AIP accruals on higher net fee generation.

SG&A

SG&A expense was $5 million in the quarter, up 6% from $4.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and $9.2 million on a year-to-date basis, up 5% from $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was due to higher technology and professional services costs.

Earnings

Last year, our net income benefited from the realization of an $18.6 million non-recurring asset. Consequently, our net income this quarter of $13.4 million ($0.53 per share) was down 25% from $17.7 million ($0.70 per share) for the three months ended last year. On a year-to-date basis, net income was $24.9 million ($0.98 per share), down 2% from $25.4 million ($1.00 per share) last year. Excluding the impact of last year’s realization of a non-recurring asset, our second quarter net income was up $14.2 million, and up $18.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our earnings benefited from higher management fees on improved market valuations in our precious metals exchange listed products, higher commission income on increased ATM activity in our critical materials exchange listed products and higher finance income in our private strategies segment due to higher streaming syndication fees. Our earnings also benefited from market value appreciation of our co-investments.

Additional revenues and expenses

Investment gains on both a three and six months ended basis benefited from market value appreciation in our co-investments.

Depreciation of property and equipment was lower in the quarter due to a decrease in depreciation expense related to cancelled lease agreements on the sale of our legacy non-core asset management business domiciled in Korea in the third quarter of last year.

Other income was lower on both a three and six months ended basis due to the recognition of income on the recording of a non-recurring contingent asset in the second quarter of last year.

Balance sheet

Total assets were $406.3 million, up 7% from $378.8 million as at December 31, 2023. The increase was mainly due to the setup of a lease asset on the renewal of an existing lease, higher cash balances on increased earnings and higher other assets attributable to non-controlling interest on the funds we consolidate. Total liabilities were $90.4 million, up 24% from $73.1 million as at December 31, 2023. The increase was related to the office lease asset mentioned above (i.e. under IFRS 16, the $9.4 million lease asset must be accompanied by a corresponding $9.6 million accrued lease liability) and higher liabilities related to non-controlling interest on the funds we consolidate. Total shareholder's equity was $315.8 million, up 3% from $305.7 million as at December 31, 2023.

3 and 6 months ended

Last year, our income before income taxes benefited from the realization of an $18.6 million non-recurring asset. Consequently, our income before income taxes was $21.7 million in the quarter, down 35% from $33.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and was $40.2 million on a year-to-date basis, down 15% from $47.4 million last year. Excluding the impact of last year's realization of a non-recurring asset, our second quarter income before income taxes was up $7.1 million, and up $11.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our earnings benefited from higher management fees on improved market valuations in our precious metals physical trusts and higher commission income on increased ATM activity in our critical materials physical trusts. We also benefited from market value appreciation of our co-investments.

Adjusted base EBITDA was $20.5 million in the quarter, up 35% from $15.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and was $39.2 million on a year-to-date basis, up 31% from $29.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Our three and six months ended results benefited from higher management fees on improved market valuations in our precious metals physical trusts and higher commission income on increased ATM activity in our critical materials physical trusts mentioned above.

Our three and six months ended results were impacted by the expiry of legacy fixed-term exploration LP contracts, lower co-investment income and higher SG&A from increased technology costs.

Capital stock

Including the 0.5 million unvested common shares currently held in the EPSP Trust (December 31, 2023 - 0.5 million), total capital stock issued and outstanding was 25.9 million (December 31, 2023 - 25.9 million).

Earnings per share for the current and prior period have been calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods. Basic earnings per share was $0.53 for the quarter and $0.98 on a year-to-date basis compared to $0.70 and $1.00 in the prior periods, respectively. Diluted earnings per share was $0.51 in the quarter and $0.96 on a year-to-date basis compared to $0.68 and $0.97 in the prior periods, respectively. Diluted earnings per share reflects the dilutive effect of in-the-money stock options, unvested shares held in the EPSP Trust and outstanding restricted stock units.

A total of 12,500 stock options are outstanding pursuant to our stock option plan, all of which are exercisable.

Certain of these accounting policies require management to make key assumptions concerning the future and consider other sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date. These accounting estimates are considered critical because they require subjective and/or complex judgments that may have a material impact on the value of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

Critical accounting estimates

Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets

All indefinite life intangible assets and goodwill are assessed for impairment annually, however, finite life intangibles are only tested for impairment to the extent indicators of impairment exist at the time of a quarterly assessment. In the case of goodwill and indefinite life intangibles, this annual test for impairment augments the quarterly impairment indicator assessments. Values associated with goodwill and intangibles involve estimates and assumptions, including those with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, AUM and asset lives. These estimates require significant judgment regarding market growth rates, fund flow assumptions, expected margins and costs, which could affect the Company's future results if estimates of future performance and fair value change.

Fair value of financial instruments

When the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the consolidated balance sheets cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using valuation techniques and models. Model inputs are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, unobservable inputs may be used. These unobservable inputs include, but are not limited to, projected cash flows, discount rates, comparable recent transactions and volatility of underlying securities in warrant valuations. The use of unobservable inputs can involve significant judgment and materially affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

Significant judgments

Investments in other entities

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements ("IFRS 10") and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures ("IAS 28") provide for the use of judgment in determining whether an investee should be included within the consolidated financial statements of the Company and on what basis (subsidiary, joint venture, financial instrument or associate). Significant judgment is applied in evaluating facts and circumstances relevant to the Company and investee, including: (1) the extent of the Company's direct and indirect interest in the investee; (2) the level of compensation to be received from the investee for management and other services provided to it; (3) "kick out rights" available to other investors in the investee; and (4) other indicators of the extent of power that the Company has over the investee.

Managing financial risks

Market risk

The Company separates market risk into three categories: price risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency risk.

Price risk

Price risk arises from the possibility that changes in the price of the Company's on and off-balance sheet assets and liabilities will result in changes in carrying value or recoverable amounts. The Company's revenues are also exposed to price risk since management fees, carried interest and performance fees are correlated with AUM, which fluctuates with changes in the market values of the assets in the funds and managed accounts managed by the Company.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the value of, or cash flows from, financial assets and liabilities. The Company’s earnings, particularly through its private strategies segment, are exposed to volatility as a result of sudden changes in interest rates. Management takes into account a number of factors and is committed to several processes to ensure that this risk is appropriately managed.

Foreign currency risk

The Company enters into transactions that are denominated primarily in U.S. and Canadian dollars. Foreign currency risk arises from foreign exchange rate movements that could negatively impact either the carrying value of financial assets and liabilities or the related cash flows which are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company may employ certain hedging strategies to mitigate foreign currency risk.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a borrower will not honor its commitments and a loss to the Company may result. Credit risk generally arises in the Company's investments portfolio.

Investments

The Company incurs credit risk when entering into, settling and financing transactions with counterparties. Management takes into account a number of factors and is committed to several processes to ensure that this risk is appropriately managed.

Other

The majority of receivables relate to management fees, carried interest and performance fees receivable from the funds and managed accounts managed by the Company. These receivables are short-term in nature and any credit risk associated with them is managed by dealing with counterparties that the Company believes to be creditworthy and by actively monitoring credit exposure and the financial health of the counterparties.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company cannot meet a demand for cash or fund its obligations as they come due. The Company's exposure to liquidity risk is minimal as it maintains sufficient levels of liquid assets to meet its obligations as they come due. The Company has $29.7 million (December 31, 2023 - $20.7 million) of cash and cash equivalents. In addition, the Company has $97.8 million of co-investments (December 31, 2023 - $93.5 million), of which, $46.9 million (December 31, 2023 - $39.5 million) can be monetized in less than 90 days (liquid co-investments). The Company also has access to a credit facility of $75 million with a major Canadian schedule I chartered bank.

The Company's exposure to liquidity risk as it relates to our co-investments in private strategies LPs arises from fluctuations in cash flows from making capital calls and receiving capital distributions. The Company manages its co-investment liquidity risk through the ongoing monitoring of scheduled capital calls and distributions ("match funding") and through its broader treasury risk management program and enterprise capital budgeting.

Financial liabilities, including accounts payable and accrued liabilities and compensation payable, are short-term in nature and are generally due within a year.

The Company's management team is responsible for reviewing resources to ensure funds are readily available to meet its financial obligations as they come due and ensuring adequate funds exist to support business strategies and operations growth. The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring cash balances on a daily basis and through its broader treasury risk management program. To meet any liquidity shortfalls, actions taken by the Company could include: drawing on the line of credit; slowing its co-investment activities; liquidating investments; adjusting or otherwise temporarily suspending AIPs; cutting or temporarily suspending its dividend; and/or issuing common shares.

Concentration risk

A significant portion of the Company's AUM and its investments are focused on the natural resource sector, and in particular, precious metals and critical materials related investments and transactions. In addition, from time-to-time, certain investments may be concentrated to a material degree in a single position or group of positions. Management takes into account a number of factors and is committed to several processes to ensure that this risk is appropriately managed.

Disclosure controls and procedures ("DC&P") and internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR")

Management is responsible for the design and operational effectiveness of DC&P and ICFR in order to provide reasonable assurance regarding the disclosure of material information relating to the Company. This includes information required to be disclosed in the Company's annual filings, interim filings and other reports filed under securities legislation, as well as the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our DC&P and ICFR (as defined in the applicable U.S. and Canadian securities laws), concluded that the Company's DC&P and ICFR were properly designed and were operating effectively as at June 30, 2024. In addition, there were no material changes to ICFR during the quarter.

Managing non-financial risks

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

1 Corporate information

Sprott Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on February 13, 2008. Its registered office is at Royal Bank Plaza, South Tower, 200 Bay Street, Suite 2600, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2J1.

2 Summary of material accounting policy information

Statement of compliance

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements ("interim financial statements") have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") in effect as at June 30, 2024, specifically, IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

Compliance with IFRS requires the Company to exercise judgment and make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may vary. Except as otherwise noted, significant accounting judgments and estimates are described in Note 2 of the December 31, 2023 annual audited consolidated financial statements and have been applied consistently to the interim financial statements as at and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

The interim financial statements have been authorized for issue by a resolution of the board of directors of the Company on August 6, 2024 and include all subsequent events up to that date.

Basis of presentation

These interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") and which are measured at fair value to the extent required or permitted under IFRS and as set out in the relevant accounting policies. The interim financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand ($000), except when indicated otherwise.

Principles of consolidation

These interim financial statements of the Company are prepared on a consolidated basis so as to include the accounts of all limited partnerships and corporations the Company is deemed to control under IFRS. Controlled limited partnerships and corporations ("subsidiaries") are consolidated from the date the Company obtains control. All intercompany balances with subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation. Subsidiary financial statements are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company and are based on accounting policies consistent with that of the Company.

The Company records third-party interest in the funds which do not qualify to be equity due to redeemable or limited life features, as non-controlling interest liabilities. Such interests are initially recognized at fair value, with any changes recorded in the co-investment income line of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Control exists if the Company has power over the entity, exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and the ability to use its power over the entity to affect the amount of returns the Company receives. In many, but not all instances, control will exist when the Company owns more than one half of the voting rights of a corporation, or is the sole limited and general partner of a limited partnership.

Stock option plan

The Company has an option plan (the "Plan") intended to provide incentives to directors, officers and employees of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The aggregate number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all options granted under the Plan and under all other stock-based compensation arrangements including the Trust and Equity Incentive Plan ("EIP") cannot exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company as at the date of grant. The options may be granted at a price that is not less than the market price of the Company's common shares at the time of grant. The options typically vest annually over a three-year period and may be exercised during a period not to exceed 10 years from the date of grant.

There were no stock options issued or exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 (three and six months ended June 30, 2023 - Nil).

For valuing share option grants, the fair value method of accounting is used. The fair value of option grants is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which takes into account the exercise price of the option, the current share price, the risk-free interest rate, the expected volatility of the share price over the life of the option and other relevant factors. Compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period, assuming an estimated forfeiture rate, with an offset to contributed surplus. When exercised, amounts originally recorded against contributed surplus as well as any consideration paid by the option holder is credited to capital stock.

As at June 30, 2024, there are 12,500 options outstanding (December 31, 2023 - 12,500) with a weighted average exercise price of CAD$27.30 and 1.8 years remaining on their contractual life.

Equity incentive plan

For employees in Canada, the Trust has been established and the Company will fund the Trust with cash, which will be used by the trustee to purchase: (1) on the open market, common shares of the Company that will be held in the Trust until the awards vest and are distributed to eligible members; and (2) from treasury, common shares of the Company that will be held in the Trust until the awards vest and are distributed to eligible employees. For employees in the U.S. under the EIP plan, the Company will allot common shares of the Company as either: (1) restricted stock; (2) unrestricted stock; or (3) restricted stock units ("RSUs"), the resulting common shares of which will be issued from treasury.

There were no RSUs granted during the three months ended June 30, 2024 (three months ended June 30, 2023 - Nil) and no RSUs granted during the six months ended June 30, 2024 (six months ended June 30, 2023 - 50,000).

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company transferred public equities of $Nil (December 31, 2023 - $0.1 million) from Level 2 to Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

The following table presents the valuation techniques used by the Company in measuring fair values:

Type	Valuation technique
Public equities, precious metals and share purchase warrants	Fair values are determined using publicly available prices or pricing models which incorporate all available market-observable inputs.
Alternative funds and private equity funds	Fair values are based on the last available net asset value.
Fixed income securities	Fair values are based on independent market data providers or third-party broker quotes.
Private holdings (including digital gold strategies)	Fair values based on variety of valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows, comparable recent transactions and other techniques used by market participants.

The Company’s Level 3 securities consist of private holdings and share purchase warrants. The significant unobservable inputs used in these valuation techniques can vary considerably over time, and include gray market financing prices, volatility and discount rates. A significant change in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a material impact in fair value measurement. The potential impact of a 5% change in the significant unobservable inputs on profit or loss would be approximately $0.2 million (December 31, 2023 - $0.2 million).

Financial instruments not carried at fair value

The carrying amounts of fees receivable, other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and compensation payable represent a reasonable approximation of fair value.

12 Segmented information

For management purposes, the Company is organized into business units based on its products, services and geographical locations and has four reportable segments as follows:

•Exchange listed products (reportable), which provides management services to the Company's closed-end physical trusts and exchange traded funds ("ETFs"), both of which are actively traded on public securities exchanges;

•Managed equities (reportable), which provides management services to the Company's alternative investment strategies managed in-house and on a sub-advisory basis;

•Private strategies (reportable), which provides lending and streaming activities through limited partnership vehicles;

•Corporate (reportable), which provides capital, balance sheet management and enterprise shared services to the Company's subsidiaries; and

•All other segments (non-reportable), which do not meet the definition of reportable segments per IFRS 8.

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on earnings before interest expense, income taxes, amortization and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, gains and losses on investments (as if such gains and losses had not occurred), stock-based compensation, severance, new hire accruals and other, foreign exchange (gain) loss, costs relating to the exit of non-core businesses, revaluation of contingent considerations, non-recurring regulatory, professional fees and other, shares received on recognition of contingent consideration, carried interest and performance fees and carried interest and performance fee payouts (adjusted base EBITDA).

Adjusted base EBITDA is not a measurement in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure of performance under IFRS.

Transfer pricing between operating segments is performed on an arm's length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

SPROTT ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2024 RESULTS

TORONTO, ON - August 7, 2024 - Sprott Inc. (NYSE/TSX: SII) (“Sprott” or the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Management commentary “We are pleased to report that during the second quarter of 2024, Sprott’s Assets Under Management (“AUM”) reached $31.1 billion, up 6% from March 31, 2024 and up 8% from December 31, 2023,” said Whitney George, CEO of Sprott. "After more than four years of positive net sales, we started 2024 with $284 million of net redemptions in the first quarter. This quarter, we returned to positive net sales with $357 million of net inflows and an additional $110 million from the recent initial public offering ("IPO") of the Sprott Physical Copper Trust ("COP"), bringing our net sales in the first half of the year to $183 million, inclusive of the COP IPO."

“The IPO of COP was a strategic priority for Sprott and the latest addition to our critical materials investment strategies," continued Mr. George. "As the world’s first physical copper fund, COP is designed to provide investors with an alternative to investing in copper futures and a way for institutions and individual clients to complement their equity positions. Since the launch of the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust in 2021, we have established a global network of institutions, family offices and individuals seeking exposure to critical materials investment strategies. We look forward to engaging with this audience as we seek to scale COP."

Key AUM highlights1

•AUM was $31.1 billion as at June 30, 2024, up 6% from $29.4 billion as at March 31, 2024 and up 8% from $28.7 billion as at December 31, 2023. On a three and six months ended basis, we primarily benefited from market value appreciation in our precious metals physical trusts. We also benefited from net inflows to our exchange listed products and the launch of COP in the quarter.

Key revenue highlights

•Management fees were $38.1 million in the quarter, up 16% from $32.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and $74.4 million on a year-to-date basis, up 16% from $64.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Carried interest and performance fees were $0.7 million in the quarter and on a year-to-date basis, up 80% from $0.4 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023. Net fees were $34.4 million in the quarter, up 15% from $29.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and $67.1 million on a year-to-date basis, up 16% from $58.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Our revenue performance on both a three and six months ended basis was primarily due to higher average AUM on good market value appreciation across most of our exchange listed products since last year.

•Commission revenues were $3.3 million in the quarter, up from $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and $4.4 million on a year-to-date basis, down 32% from $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Net commissions were $1.5 million in the quarter, up 34% from $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and $2 million on a year-to-date basis, down 43% from $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Higher commissions in the quarter were due to increased ATM activity in our physical uranium trust and the launch of COP. On a year-to-date basis, lower commissions were due to the sale of our former Canadian broker-dealer in the second quarter of last year.

•Finance income was $4.1 million in the quarter, up from $1.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and $5.9 million on a year-to-date basis, up 78% from $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in finance income was due to higher income earned on streaming syndication activity.

Key expense highlights

•Net compensation expense was $17.2 million in the quarter, up 12% from $15.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and $33.5 million on a year-to-date basis, up 9% from $30.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in the quarter was primarily due to increased AIP accruals on higher net fee generation.

•SG&A expense was $5 million in the quarter, up 6% from $4.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and $9.2 million on a year-to-date basis, up 5% from $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was due to higher technology and professional services costs.

Earnings summary

•Last year, our net income benefited from the realization of an $18.6 million non-recurring asset. Consequently, our net income this quarter of $13.4 million ($0.53 per share) was down 25% from $17.7 million ($0.70 per share) for the three months ended last year. On a year-to-date basis, net income was $24.9 million ($0.98 per share), down 2% from $25.4 million ($1.00 per share) last year. Excluding the impact of last year’s realization of a non-recurring asset, our second quarter net income was up $14.2 million, and up $18.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our earnings benefited from higher management fees on improved market valuations in our precious metals exchange listed products, higher commission income on increased ATM activity in our critical materials exchange listed products and higher finance income in our private strategies segment due to higher streaming syndication fees. Our earnings also benefited from market value appreciation of our co-investments.

•Adjusted base EBITDA was $22.4 million ($0.88 per share) in the quarter, up 25% from $18 million ($0.71 per share) for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and $42.1 million ($1.66 per share) on a year-to-date basis, up 19% from $35.3 million ($1.40 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Adjusted base EBITDA on both a three and six months ended basis benefited from higher management fees on improved market valuations in our precious metals exchange listed products, higher commission income on increased ATM activity in our critical materials exchange listed products and higher finance income in our private strategies segment due to higher streaming syndication fees mentioned above.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This press release includes financial terms (including AUM, net commissions, net fees, expenses, adjusted base EBITDA, adjusted base EBITDA margin and net compensation) that the Company utilizes to assess the financial performance of its business that are not measures recognized under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). These non-IFRS measures should not be considered alternatives to performance measures determined in accordance with IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Non-IFRS financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Our key performance indicators and non-IFRS and other financial measures are discussed below. For quantitative reconciliations of non-IFRS financial measures to their most directly comparable IFRS financial measures please see schedule 2 and schedule 3 of the "Supplemental financial information" section of this press release.

Net fees

Management fees, net of fund expenses and direct payouts, and carried interest and performance fees, net of carried interest and performance fee payouts (internal and external), are key revenue indicators as they represent the net revenue contribution after directly associated costs that we generate from our AUM.

Net commissions

Commissions, net of commission expenses (internal and external), arise primarily from purchases and sales of critical materials in our exchange listed products segment and transaction-based service offerings by our broker dealers.

Net compensation

Net compensation excludes commission expenses paid to employees, other direct payouts to employees, carried interest and performance fee payouts to employees, which are all presented net of their related revenues in the MD&A, and severance, new hire accruals and other which are non-recurring.

EBITDA, adjusted base EBITDA and adjusted base EBITDA margin

EBITDA in its most basic form is defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA (or adjustments thereto) is a measure commonly used in the investment industry by management, investors and investment analysts in understanding and comparing results by factoring out the impact of different financing methods, capital structures, amortization techniques and income tax rates between companies in the same industry. While other companies, investors or investment analysts may not utilize the same method of calculating EBITDA (or adjustments thereto), the Company believes its adjusted base EBITDA metric results in a better comparison of the Company's underlying operations against its peers and a better indicator of recurring results from operations as compared to other non-IFRS financial measures. Adjusted base EBITDA margins are a key indicator of a company’s profitability on a per dollar of revenue basis, and as such, is commonly used in the financial services sector by analysts, investors and management.
