Dearfellow shareholders,


Sprott’s business performed well during the second quarter of 2021, despite weaker precious metals prices during the month of June. During the quarter, our Assets Under Management (“AUM”) increased by 9% to $18.6 billion. Adjusted base EBITDA in the quarter was $15.1 million ($0.60 per share), up 64% or $5.8 million ($0.22 per share) from the same time last year, and was $29.7 million ($1.19 per share) on a year-to-date basis, up 71%, or $12.3 million ($0.48 per share) this time last year. Throughout the first half of 2021, Sprott benefited from increased fees in each of our divisions, led by strong net inflows into our exchange listed products segment and higher average AUM in our managed equities segment. In addition, our brokerage segment has delivered both higher client fees from managed products and higher revenues from investment banking activities.

Subsequent to the quarter end, on July 19, Sprott successfully completed its previously announced arrangement with Uranium Participation Corporation to launch the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust. This transaction added a further $630 million to Sprott’s total AUM. Most importantly, it provides us with a start in the high growth clean energy metals investment area. We have a constructive view on uranium and believe this new trust presents a compelling opportunity to create value for our shareholders by expanding our offerings into areas that benefit from our global platform in precious metals.

Our conviction continues to be that precious metals should serve a role in any investment portfolio. Governments globally have committed to providing economies and financial markets with support through fiscal deficits and monetary accommodation, while inflation is allowed to surge. In the US, the Congressional Budget Office has forecast that interest rates will lag inflation until 2028, and that budget deficits will extend for years. These policies will likely require rampant money supply growth, while investors are repressed through negative real interest rates. This environment provides a long runway for the accumulation and expected outperformance of gold.

Turning to current conditions, we believe markets everywhere are priced for perfection. Investors are banking on strong growth through 2022, which we believe may be difficult to achieve on top of the post-Covid recovery of 2021. Gold is coming back from a correction during which its sentiment indicators plummeted to cycle lows, and still remains unloved. We believe the setting is right for gold to perform well in the back half of 2021 as investors take a closer look at the risks present in the markets, government finance, and economic performance. We believe mining equities are particularly attractive on fundamental and relative metrics.

I am proud of the talented team at Sprott and how they have performed during the uncertainties of the pandemic. We have been fully operational remotely throughout, aided by the guidance of our Covid-committee, and kept in close contact through constant online interaction. With this as a backdrop, we were able to manage our record growth over the past year. I am now pleased to say that we have opened our US offices without a hitch, and expect to re-open our Canadian offices in September.

Our business continues to be well-positioned in this environment and we are experiencing growth in all our divisions. For now, we are busy managing this growth by continuing to add clients and high quality talent to service them. We expect our exchange-listed products, managed equities and brokerage segments to post strong numbers in the back-half of the year, resulting in continued earnings growth and industry -leading operating margins for our company.

Forwardlooking statements

Certain statements in this Management's Discussion & Analysis ("MD&A"), and in particular the "Business Performance Highlights" section and "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) expectations that our exchange listed products, managed equities and brokerage segments will post strong numbers in the back-half of the year, resulting in continued earnings growth and industry leading operating margins for our company; (ii) our belief that the uranium trust presents a compelling opportunity to create value for our shareholders by expanding our offerings into areas that benefit from our global platform in precious metals (iii) our belief that precious metals should serve a role in any investment portfolio; (iv) our belief that we may see rampant money supply growth, while investors are repressed through negative real interest rates, (v) our belief that the environment provides a long runway for the accumulation and expected outperformance of gold; (vi) our belief that the setting is right for gold to perform well in the back half of 2021 as investors take a closer look at the risks present in the markets, government finance, and economic performance and that mining equities are particularly attractive on fundamental and relative metrics; (vii) expectation of the effects of COVID-19; and (viii) 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 COVID-19; and (v) those assumptions disclosed herein under the heading "Critical Accounting Estimates, Judgments and Changes in Accounting Policies". 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 favourable 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 lending business; (xxvii) risks relating to the Company’s brokerage business; (xxviii) those risks described under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company’s annual information form dated February 25, 2021; and (xxix) 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'sdiscussion and analysis

This MD&A of financial condition and results of operations, dated August 5, 2021, presents an analysis of the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries as at June 30, 2021, compared with December 31, 2020, and the consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The board of directors approved this MD&A on August 5, 2021. All note references in this MD&A are to the notes to the Company's June 30, 2021 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.

Presentationof 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"). 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 functional currency is the Canadian dollar, its presentation currency is the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, all dollar references in this MD&A are in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise specified. The use of the term "prior period" refers to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Keyperformance indicators (non-IFRS 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 are discussed below:

Assets under management

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

Net inflows

Net inflows (consisting of net sales, capital calls and fee earning capital commitments) result in changes to AUM and are described individually below:

Netsales

Fund sales (net of redemptions), including 'at-the-market' transactions and secondary offerings of our physical trusts and new 'creations' of ETF units, are a key performance indicator as new assets being managed will lead to higher management fees and can potentially lead to increased carried interest and performance fee generation (as applicable) given that AUM is also the basis upon which carried interest and performance fees are calculated.

Capitalcalls and commitments

Capital calls into our lending LPs are a key source of AUM creation, and ultimately, earnings for the Company. Once capital is called into our lending LPs, it is included within the AUM of the Company as it will now earn a management fee (NOTE: it is possible for some forms of committed capital to earn a commitment fee despite being uncalled, in which case, it will also be included in AUM at that time). Conversely, once loans in our lending LPs are repaid, capital may be returned to investors in the form of a distribution, thereby reducing our AUM ("capital distributions").

Net fees

Management fees (net of trailer, sub-advisor, placement fees, fund operating costs and other direct payouts) and carried interest and performance fees (net of carried interest and performance fee payouts) are key revenue indicators as they represent the net revenue contribution after directly associated costs that we generate from our AUM.^(1)^

Net commissions

Commissions, net of commission expenses, arise primarily from the transaction based service offerings of our brokerage segment.

Net compensation

Net compensation excludes commissions, other direct payouts, carried interest and performance fee payouts, which are presented net of their related revenues in this MD&A, and severance and new hire accruals which are non-recurring.^(1)^

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.

Return on capital

Return on capital is calculated as adjusted base EBITDA, plus gain (loss) on investments divided by capital stock plus outstanding loan facility.

^(1)^^Priorperiod non-IFRS measures presented throughout this MD&A have been re-presented to align with these definitions^

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted base EBITDA and operating margin

EBITDA in its most basic form is defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA 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, in particular, 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.

Neither EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA or adjusted base EBITDA have 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 EBITDA and Adjusted base EBITDA measures are determined:

^(1)^ This<br>adjustment removes the income effects of certain gains or losses on short-term investments, co-investments, and digital gold strategies<br>to ensure the reporting objectives of our EBITDA metric as described above are met.
^(2)^ In<br>addition to the items outlined in Note 5 of the interim financial statements,<br>this reconciliation line also includes $0.3 million severance and new hire accruals for<br>the 3 months ended (3 months ended June 30, 2020 - $0.4 million) and $0.3 million for<br>the 6 months ended (6 months ended June 30, 2020 - $1 million). This reconciliation line excludes income attributable to non-controlling<br>interests of $0.1 million for the 3 and 6 months ended (3 and 6 months ended June 30,<br>2020 - $nil).

Outlook

Our businesses

Despite weaker precious metals prices to close out the month of June, our six months ended performance remained strong. We continue to expect our exchange listed products, managed equities and brokerage segments to post strong numbers in the back-half of the year, resulting in continued earnings growth and industry leading operating margins for our company.

Product and business line expansion

Subsequent to the quarter end, on July 19, the Company closed on the previously announced transaction with Uranium Participation Corporation (“UPC”) to form the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust (the "Trust"). Under the agreement, UPC shareholders received one half of one unit of the newly formed Trust. As part of the transaction, the Company has contributed CAD$6.7 million to UPC at closing, paid an approximate CAD$5.8 million termination fee to the former manager, and reimbursed CAD$1 million in out-of-pocket expenses to UPC. This transaction added $630 million to the Company's AUM.

COVID-19 update

Our business continuity plan continues to operate effectively throughout the pandemic. Our portfolio managers, brokerage professionals, enterprise shared services teams and key outsource service providers are fully operational.

Resultsof operations

AUM summary

AUM was $18.6 billion as at June 30, 2021, up $1.5 billion (9%) from March 31, 2021 and up $1.2 billion (7%) from December 31, 2020. In the second quarter, we experienced market value appreciation across the majority of our fund products while continuing to generate strong inflows into our physical trusts. This helped offset the market value depreciation we experienced on a year-to-date basis.

Key revenue lines

Management fees

Management fees were $25.1 million in the quarter, up $9.2 million (58%) from the prior period and $47.5 million on a year-to-date basis, up $16.6 million (54%). Carried interest and performance fees were nil in the quarter and $7.9 million on a year-to-date basis, up $7.9 million from the prior period. Net fees were $23.2 million in the quarter, up $8.4 million (56%) from the prior period and $46.9 million on a year-to-date basis, up $18 million (62%). The revenue increases were primarily due to higher average AUM from strong net inflows in our exchange listed products segment. We also benefited from higher average AUM in our managed equities segment, brokerage segment and carried interest crystallization in the first quarter of the year in our lending segment.

Commission revenues

Commission revenues were $7.4 million in the quarter, up $1.2 million (20%) from the prior period and $19.8 million on a year-to-date basis, up $8.5 million (75%). Net commissions were $4.3 million in the quarter, up $0.1 million (2%) from the prior period and $11.5 million on a year-to-date basis, up $3.3 million (41%). The increase was due to strong equity origination in our brokerage segment.

Finance income

Finance income was $0.9 million in the quarter, up $0.3 million (42%) from the prior period and $2.2 million on a year-to-date basis, up $0.6 million (39%). The increase was mainly due to higher co-investment income in our lending segment.

Key expense lines

Compensation

Compensation was $15.5 million in the quarter, up $4.5 million (41%) from the prior period and $38.1 million on a year-to-date basis, up $17 million (80%). Higher total compensation was primarily due to continued strong commission revenues (which drives our commission expense) and the crystallization of carried interest in our lending funds in the first quarter (which led to carried interest payouts to portfolio managers). Net compensation (which excludes the commission and carried interest payouts previously mentioned) was $10.8 million in the quarter, up $2.5 million (31%) from the prior period and $22.6 million on a year-to-date basis, up $6.8 million (43%). The increase was primarily due to higher annual incentive compensation ("AIP") on improved financial performance and higher base salaries on new hires. Our compensation ratio (net compensation / net fees & net commissions) on a year-to-date basis was 39% compared to 43% in the prior period.

Selling, general &administrative ("SG&A")

SG&A was $3.5 million in the quarter, up $0.5 million (19%) from the prior period and $6.8 million on a year-to-date basis, up $0.5 million (8%). The increase was mainly due to higher insurance, regulatory and technology costs.

Earnings

Net income was $11.1 million ($0.44 per share) in the quarter, up 6%, or $0.6 million ($0.01 per share) from the prior period and $14.3 million ($0.57 per share) on a year-to-date basis, up 24%, or $2.7 million ($0.10 per share). Adjusted base EBITDA was $15.1 million ($0.60 per share) in the quarter, up 64%, or $5.8 million ($0.22 per share) from the prior period and $29.7 million ($1.19 per share) on a year-to-date basis, up 71%, or $12.3 million ($0.48 per share). During the quarter and on a year-to-date basis, we benefited from increased fees due to strong net inflows in our exchange listed products segment and higher average AUM in our managed equities segment. We also benefited from increased commission and management fee revenues in our brokerage segment.

11

Additional revenues and expenses

Investment gains in the quarter were mainly due to market value appreciation of co-investments and certain equity holdings that resulted in the partial recovery of unrealized losses experienced in the first quarter.

Other income was higher in the quarter due to the consolidation of certain feeder funds.

Referral fees were lower in the quarter and higher on a year-to-date basis. Referral fees are paid on certain equity originations in our brokerage segment. Interest expense was largely flat from the prior period.

Amortization of intangibles was flat from the prior period. Depreciation of property was slightly higher from the prior period mainly due to increased depreciation expense related to leases.

Other expenses (credits) were lower in the quarter mainly due to a decrease in FX translation losses. On a year-to-date basis, other expenses were higher primarily due to the increase in contingent consideration related to the successfully renegotiated terms and conditions of last year's acquisition of Tocqueville Asset Management's gold fund strategies (the "Tocqueville acquisition").

Balance sheet

Total assets were $361 million, down $16.2 million (4%) from December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the payment of contingent consideration related to the Tocqueville acquisition.

Total liabilities were $64 million, down $22.3 million (26%) from December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower accrued liabilities on the payment of contingent consideration related to the Tocqueville acquisition.

Total shareholder's equity was $297 million, up $6 million (2%) from December 31, 2020.

Critical accounting estimates,judgements and changes in accounting policies

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions and estimates as they occur. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the December 31, 2020 audited annual financial statements. 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 judgements 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, net inflows, 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, volatility of underlying securities in warrant valuations and extraction recovery rates of mining projects. The use of unobservable inputs can involve significant judgment and materially affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

Significant judgements

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 interests 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 interests 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 instrument assets. The Company’s earnings, particularly through its lending 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. dollar and Canadian dollar. 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 accounts receivable relate to management fees, carried interest and performance fees receivable from the funds, managed accounts and managed companies 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. Additionally, the Company has access to a $70 million committed line of credit with a major Canadian schedule I chartered bank. As part of its cash management program, the Company primarily invests in short-term debt securities issued by the Government of Canada with maturities of less than three months.

21

The Company's exposure to liquidity risk as it relates to our co-investments in lending LPs arises from fluctuations in cash flows from making capital calls and receiving capital distributions. The Company manages its loan 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, as well as 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: slowing its co-investment activities; adjust or otherwise temporarily suspend AIPs; cut or temporarily suspend its dividend; drawing on the line of credit; liquidating net investments; and/or issuing common shares.

Concentration risk

A significant portion of the Company's AUM as well as its investments are focused on the natural resource sector, and in particular, precious metals related investments and transactions. In addition, from time-to-time, certain investment 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 disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the applicable U.S. and Canadian securities law), concluded that the Company's DC&P and ICFR were properly designed and were operating effectively as at June 30, 2021. In addition, there were no material changes to ICFR during the quarter, and the implementation of our business continuity plan as a result of COVID-19 has not prevented the normal function of our internal controls.

Managing non-financial risks

SPROTT INC.

Notes tothe interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

1 Corporateinformation

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 Summaryof significant accounting policies

Statement of compliance

These 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, 2021, specifically, IAS 34 InterimFinancial Reporting.

Compliance with IFRS requires the Company to exercise judgement 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 judgements and estimates are described in Note 2 of the December 31, 2020 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, 2021.

The interim financial statements have been authorized for issue by a resolution of the board of directors of the Company on August 5, 2021 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 financial assets and financial liabilities classified as fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") or fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"), both of which have been measured at fair value. 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 over the same reporting period as the Company and are based on accounting policies consistent with that of the Company.

The Company records third-party interests 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 Other expenses (credits).

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 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 (three and six months ended June 30, 2020

  • Nil). There were no stock options exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 (three and six months ended June 30, 2020 - 150,000).

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.

A summary of the changes in the Plan is as follows:

Number<br> of <br><br> options Weighted<br> <br> average exercise<br> price (CAD )
Options<br> outstanding, Dec. 31, 2019 327,500
Options<br> exercisable, Dec. 31, 2019 257,500

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognized for tax loss carry-forwards to the extent that the realization of the related tax benefit through future taxable profits is probable. The ability to realize the tax benefits of these losses is dependent upon a number of factors, including the future profitability of operations in the jurisdictions in which the tax losses arose. The movement in significant components of the Company's deferred income tax assets and liabilities is as follows (in thousands $):

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

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

The Company’s Level 3 securities consist of private holdings, private equity funds and fixed income securities of private companies. The significant unobservable inputs used in these valuation techniques can vary considerably over time, and include grey market financing prices, discount rates and extraction recovery rates of mining projects. 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 $0.7 million (December 31, 2020 - $1 million).

Financial instruments not carried at fair value

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

10 Dividends

The following dividends were declared by the Company during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021:

11 Segmented information

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

Exchange listed products (reportable), which provides management services to the Company's closed-end<br> physical trusts and exchange traded funds ("ETFs"), both of which are actively<br> traded on public securities exchanges;
Managed equities (reportable), which provides asset management and sub-advisory services to the<br> Company's branded funds, fixed-term LPs and managed accounts;
--- ---
Lending (reportable), which provides lending and streaming activities through limited partnership<br> vehicles as well as through direct lending activities using the Company's balance sheet;
--- ---
Brokerage (reportable), which includes the activities of our Canadian and U.S. broker-dealers;
--- ---
Corporate (reportable), which provides capital, balance sheet management and enterprise shared<br> services to the Company's subsidiaries;
--- ---
All other segments (non-reportable), which do not meet the definition of reportable segments<br> as 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 proprietary investments (as if such gains and losses had not occurred), foreign exchange gains and losses, one time non-recurring expenses, non-cash and non-recurring stock-based compensation, 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.

The following tables present the operations of the Company's segments (in thousands $):

SPROTT ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2021 RESULTS

TORONTO, ON - August 6, 2021 - Sprott Inc. (NYSE/TSX: SII) (“Sprott” or the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Management commentary

"Our business continued to perform well during the second quarter, with assets under management increasing to $18.6 billion as of June 30, 2021. We reported $15.1 million ($0.60 per share) of adjusted base EBITDA during the quarter, a 64% or $5.8 million ($0.22 per share) increase over the same period last year," said Peter Grosskopf, CEO of Sprott. "The earnings growth we have delivered this year has been driven by a combination of strong net sales in our physical trusts, higher average AUM in our managed equities segment and solid contributions from our brokerage business."

"Subsequent to the quarter end, on July 19, Sprott Asset Management LP completed its previously announced transaction with Uranium Participation Corp. to create the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust," added Mr. Grosskopf. "This transaction added $630 million to Sprott’s total AUM and provides the company an important strategic foothold in the clean energy metals space. We have a very constructive view on uranium and believe this new trust presents a compelling opportunity to create value for our shareholders by expanding our offerings into areas that complement our core positioning in precious metals."

Financial highlights

Key AUM highlights^1^

AUM was $18.6 billion as<br>at June 30, 2021, up $1.5 billion (9%) from March 31, 2021 and up $1.2 billion (7%) from December 31, 2020. In the second quarter, we<br>experienced market value appreciation across the majority of our fund products while continuing to generate strong inflows into our physical<br>trusts. This helped offset the market value depreciation we experienced on a year-to-date-basis.

Key revenue highlights

Management<br> fees were $25.1 million in the quarter, up $9.2 million (58%) from the prior period and $47.5<br> million on a year-to-date basis, up $16.6 million (54%). Carried interest and performance<br> fees were nil in the quarter and $7.9 million on a year-to-date basis, up $7.9 million from<br> the prior period. Net fees^1^ were $23.2 million in the quarter, up $8.4 million<br> (56%) from the prior period and $46.9 million on a year-to-date basis, up $18 million (62%)<br> from the prior period mainly due to higher average AUM from strong net inflows in our exchange<br> listed products segment. We also benefited from higher average AUM in our managed equities<br> segment, brokerage segment and carried interest crystallization in the first quarter of the<br> year in our lending segment.
Commission<br> revenues were $7.4 million in the quarter, up $1.2 million (20%) from the prior period and<br> $19.8 million on a year-to-date basis, up $8.5 million (75%). Net commissions^1^<br> were $4.3 million in the quarter, up $0.1 million (2%) from the prior period and $11.5 million<br> on a year-to-date basis, up $3.3 million (41%) due to strong equity origination in our brokerage<br> segment.
--- ---
Finance income was $0.9<br>million in the quarter, up $0.3 million (42%) from the prior period and $2.2 million on a year-to-date basis, up $0.6 million (39%) from<br>the prior period due to higher co-investment income in our lending segment.
--- ---
Gains on investments were<br>$2.5 million this quarter, down $5.6 million (69%) from the prior period and losses were $2.2 million on a year-to-date basis, compared<br>to gains of $3.8 million in the prior period. Investment gains in the quarter were mainly due to market value appreciation of co-investments<br>and certain equity holdings that resulted in the partial recovery of unrealized losses experienced in the first quarter.
--- ---

Key expense highlights

Compensation<br> was $15.5 million in the quarter, up $4.5 million (41%) from the prior period and $38.1 million<br> on a year-to-date basis, up $17 million (80%). Higher total compensation was primarily due<br> to continued strong commission revenues (which drives our commission expense) and the crystallization<br> of carried interest in our lending funds in the first quarter (which led to carried interest<br> payouts to portfolio managers). Net compensation^1^ (which excludes the commission<br> and carried interest payouts previously mentioned) was $10.8 million in the quarter, up $2.5<br> million (31%) from the prior period and $22.6 million on a year-to-date basis, up $6.8 million<br> (43%) primarily due to higher annual incentive compensation ("AIP") on improved<br> financial performance and higher base salaries on new hires. Our compensation ratio (net<br> compensation / net fees & net commissions) on a year-to-date basis was 39% compared to<br> 43% in the prior period.
SG&A was $3.5 million<br>in the quarter, up $0.5 million (19%) from the prior period and $6.8 million on a year-to-date basis,<br>up $0.5 million (8%). The increase was mainly due to higher insurance, regulatory and technology costs.
--- ---

Earnings summary

Net<br> income was $11.1 million ($0.44 per share) in the quarter, up 6%, or $0.6 million ($0.01<br> per share) from the prior period and $14.3 million ($0.57 per share) on a year-to-date basis,<br> up 24%, or $2.7 million ($0.10 per share). Adjusted base EBITDA^1^ was $15.1 million<br> ($0.60 per share) in the
quarter, up 64%, or $5.8 million ($0.22 per share) from the prior period and $29.7 million ($1.19 per share) on a year-to-date basis, up 71%, or $12.3 million ($0.48 per share). During the quarter and on a year-to-date basis, we benefited from increased fees due to strong net inflows in our exchange listed products segment and higher average AUM in our managed equities segment. We also benefited from increased commission and management fee revenues in our brokerage segment.

Subsequent events
