Third quarter of 2024: $308 million in revenue, $254 million in operating cash flow, $155 million in net earnings and $153 million in adjusted net earnings1, and declared a quarterly
dividend1 of $0.155 per common share.
|
| • |
Balance Sheet: cash balance of $694 million, no debt, and an undrawn $2 billion revolving credit facility as at September 30, 2024 after making total upfront cash payments of $30 million relative to
mineral stream and royalty interests in the quarter.
|
| • |
Streaming and royalty agreements on 18 operating mines and 28 development projects5, including the addition of the Koné project announced subsequent to the quarter.
|
| • |
93% of attributable production from assets in the lowest half of their respective cost curves2,4.
|
| • |
Attributable gold equivalent production3 (“GEOs”) of 144,200 ounces in the third quarter of 2024 and 448,400 for the first nine months of 2024, with quarterly production consistent with the
comparable period of the prior year, as lower production from Salobo and Constancia was largely offset by higher production from Peñasquito.
|
| • |
Average annual forecast production guidance for 2024 of 550,000 to 620,000 GEOs3 maintained, with forecasted sector-leading growth to over 800,000 GEOs3 by 2028, and average
annual forecast attributable production growing to over 850,000 GEOs3 in years 2029 to 2033.
|
| • |
Further de-risked forecast growth profile as construction activities advanced at the Blackwater, Goose, Platreef, and Mineral Park projects, all of which are expected to be producing within the next
12 months.
|
|
|
| • |
Subsequent to the quarter, the Company announced two accretive precious metals streaming agreements:
|
| o |
On October 23, 2024, the Company entered into a precious metals purchase agreement (“PMPA”) with Montage Gold Corp. in respect to the Koné Gold Project located in Côte d’Ivoire.
|
| o |
On October 21, 2024, the Company amended the Fenix PMPA, increasing the amount of attributable gold it is entitled to under the contract.
|
| • |
Top Rankings: One of the top-rated companies by Sustainalytics, AA rated by MSCI, and Prime rated by ISS.
|
| • |

Approximately $694 million of cash on hand
|
| • |
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company made total upfront cash payments of $30 million relative to the mineral stream and royalty interests consisting of:
|
| o |
$25 million relative to the Mineral Park PMPA; and
|
| o |
$5 million relative to the DeLamar Royalty.

All figures in thousands except gold and palladium ounces produced.
|
| 2) |
Quantity produced represent the amount of gold, silver, palladium and cobalt contained in concentrate or doré prior to smelting or refining deductions. Production figures and payable rates are based on
information provided by the operators of the mining operations to which the mineral stream interests relate or management estimates in those situations where other information is not available. Certain production figures and payable rates may
be updated in future periods as additional information is received.
|
| 3) |
Comprised of the Coleman, Copper Cliff, Garson, Creighton and Totten gold interests.
|
| 4) |
Under the terms of the San Dimas PMPA, the Company is entitled to an amount equal to 25% of the payable gold production plus an additional amount of gold equal to 25% of the payable silver production
converted to gold at a fixed gold to silver exchange ratio of 70:1 from the San Dimas mine. If the average gold to silver price ratio decreases to less than 50:1 or increases to more than 90:1 for a period of 6 months or more, then the "70"
shall be revised to "50" or "90", as the case may be, until such time as the average gold to silver price ratio is between 50:1 to 90:1 for a period of 6 months or more in which event the "70" shall be reinstated. For reference, attributable
silver production from prior periods is as follows: Q3 2024 - 262,000 ounces; Q2 2024 - 285,000 ounces; Q1 2024 - 291,000 ounces; Q4 2023 - 378,000 ounces; Q3 2023 - 387,000 ounces; Q2 2023 - 423,000 ounces; Q1 2023 - 401,000 ounces; Q4 2022 -
348,000 ounces.
|
| 5) |
Comprised of the Stillwater and East Boulder gold and palladium interests.
|
| 6) |

|
| 8) |
On September 12, 2023, it was announced that the production of the zinc and lead concentrates at the Aljustrel mine will be halted from September 24, 2023 until the second quarter of 2025.

All amounts in thousands except gold and palladium ounces produced and sold, per ounce amounts and per share amounts.
|
| 2) |
Gold-equivalent ounces ("GEOs"), which are provided to assist the reader, are based on the following commodity price assumptions: $2,000 per ounce gold; $23.00 per ounce silver; $1,000 per ounce palladium; and $13.00
per pound cobalt; consistent with those used in estimating the Company's production guidance for 2024.
|
| 3) |
Represents the increase (decrease) in payable ounces produced but not delivered (“PBND”) relative to the various mines that the Company derives precious metal from and, for cobalt, the increase (decrease) of payable
pounds PBND and inventory on hand. Payable units PBND will be recognized in future sales as they are delivered to the Company under the terms of their contracts. Payable ounces PBND to Wheaton is expected to average approximately two to three
months of annualized production for both gold and palladium and two months for silver but may vary from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, including mine ramp-up and the timing of shipments. Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements” for material risks, assumptions and important disclosure associated with this information.
|
| 4) |
Refer to discussion on non-IFRS measures beginning on page 40 of this MD&A.
|
| 5) |
Cash cost per pound of cobalt sold during the third quarter of 2023 was net of a previously recorded inventory write-down of $0.1 million (nine months - $1.6 million), resulting in a decrease of $0.51 per pound of
cobalt sold (nine months - $2.05 per pound sold).
|
| 6) |
As at September 30, 2024, cumulative dividends of $2,277 million have been declared and paid by the Company.
|
| • |
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, relative to the comparable period of the prior year:
|
| o |
Production amounted to 144,200 gold equivalent ounces ("GEOs"), a decrease of 2%, with lower production from Salobo and Constancia being partially offset by higher production from Peñasquito.
|
| o |
Sales volumes amounted to 122,700 GEO's, an increase of 10%, primarily due to relative changes to the number of GEOs produced but not delivered (“PBND”).
|
| o |
Revenue increased 38% or $85 million to $308 million (61% gold, 37% silver, 1% palladium and 1% cobalt), with the increase due to a 26% increase in realized commodity prices coupled with the increased sales volume.
|
| o |
Gross margin amounted to $197 million (64% of revenue), representing an increase of $71 million.
|
| o |
Net earnings amounted to $155 million, an increase of $38 million, with the increased gross margin being partially offset by a $28 million tax expense attributable to the enactment of the global minimum tax (“GMT”)
legislation.
|
| o |
Record operating cashflow amounting to $254 million, with the $83 million increase being the result of the higher gross margin.
|
| • |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 relative to the comparable period of the prior year:
|
| o |
Production amounted to 448,400 GEOs, an increase of 7%, with increased production from Salobo and Peñasquito being partially offset by lower production at San Dimas, the temporary cessation of production from
Aljustrel and the suspension of operations at Minto.
|
| o |
Sales volumes amounted to 389,900 GEOs, an increase of 11% resulting from the higher production coupled with relative changes to PBND.
|
| o |
Revenue increased 29% or $202 million to $904 million (62% gold, 36% silver, 1% palladium and 1% cobalt), with the increase being primarily due to a 16% increase in realized commodity prices coupled with the 11%
increase in sales volumes.
|
| o |
Gross margin amounted to $555 million (61% of revenue), representing an increase of $159 million.
|
| o |
Net earnings amounted to $441 million, an increase of $72 million with the higher gross margin more than offsetting the tax expense of $78 million attributable to the enactment of the GMT legislation.
|

All figures in thousands except gold and palladium ounces and per ounce amounts. The total upfront consideration paid to date excludes closing costs and capitalized interest, where applicable. Please refer to the
section entitled “Other Contractual Obligations and Contingencies” on page 35 of this MD&A for details of when the remaining upfront consideration is forecasted to be paid. Certain contracts, including Santo Domingo and Curipamba, contain
delay ounce provisions whereby should construction of the mine not be completed by an agreed to date, the mine operator must compensate the Company for the delay until certain conditions are satisfied by delivering additional ounces. The value
of these ounces on the date first due, net of amounts owed to the mine operator, is treated as a reduction to the upfront consideration paid. Sale of the resulting ounces received is treated as revenue, with the associated cost of sales being
equal to the fair value of the ounces on the date received.

entitled to an amount equal to 25% of the payable gold production plus an additional amount of gold equal to 25% of the payable silver production converted to gold at a fixed gold to silver exchange ratio of 70:1 from the San Dimas mine. If the
average gold to silver price ratio decreases to less than 50:1 or increases to more than 90:1 for a period of 6 months or more, then the "70" shall be revised to "50" or "90", as the case may be, until such time as the average gold to silver

All figures in thousands except gold and palladium ounces produced.
|
| 2) |
Quantity produced represent the amount of gold, silver, palladium and cobalt contained in concentrate or doré prior to smelting or refining deductions. Production figures and payable rates are based on information
provided by the operators of the mining operations to which the mineral stream interests relate or management estimates in those situations where other information is not available. Certain production figures and payable rates may be updated in
future periods as additional information is received.
|
| 3) |
Comprised of the Coleman, Copper Cliff, Garson, Creighton and Totten gold interests.
|
| 4) |
Under the terms of the San Dimas PMPA, the Company is entitled to an amount equal to 25% of the payable gold production plus an additional amount of gold equal to 25% of the payable silver production converted to gold
at a fixed gold to silver exchange ratio of 70:1 from the San Dimas mine. If the average gold to silver price ratio decreases to less than 50:1 or increases to more than 90:1 for a period of 6 months or more, then the "70" shall be revised to
"50" or "90", as the case may be, until such time as the average gold to silver price ratio is between 50:1 to 90:1 for a period of 6 months or more in which event the "70" shall be reinstated. For reference, attributable silver production from
prior periods is as follows: Q3 2024 - 262,000 ounces; Q2 2024 - 285,000 ounces; Q1 2024 - 291,000 ounces; Q4 2023 - 378,000 ounces; Q3 2023 - 387,000 ounces; Q2 2023 - 423,000 ounces; Q1 2023 - 401,000 ounces; Q4 2022 - 348,000 ounces.
|
| 5) |
Comprised of the Stillwater and East Boulder gold and palladium interests.

GEOs, which are provided to assist the reader, are based on the following commodity price assumptions: $2,000 per ounce gold; $23.00 per ounce silver; $1,000 per ounce palladium; and $13.00 per pound cobalt;
consistent with those used in estimating the Company's production guidance for 2024.
|
| • |
9,100 ounce or 34% decrease from Constancia (comprised of 8,600 gold ounces and 49,000 silver ounces), primarily due to lower grades largely due to the planned stripping activity in the Pampacancha pit, which
commenced in the second quarter, and continued throughout the third quarter;
|
| • |
7,000 ounce or 33% decrease from the Other mines (comprised of 611,000 silver ounces), primarily due to the temporary suspension of attributable production from Aljustrel;
|
| • |
6,400 ounce or 9% decrease from Salobo; primarily due to lower grades, partially offset by higher throughput. From a throughput perspective, the three 12 mtpa lines operated at approximately 90% of capacity during
Q3-2024, as compared to approximately 73% during Q3-2023; and
|
| • |
3,100 ounce or 31% decrease from San Dimas, primarily due to lower throughput and grades; partially offset by
|
| • |
20,500 ounce increase from Peñasquito (1,785,000 silver ounces), with Peñasquito producing no ounces in the third quarter of 2023 as a result of a labour strike which lasted from June 7 to October 13, 2023; and
|
| • |
1,400 ounce or 118% increase from Voisey's Bay (214,000 cobalt pounds), primarily attributable to the mining of higher grade material as the transitional period between the depletion of the Ovoid open-pit and ramp-up to full production
of the Voisey’s Bay underground mine nears completion.

Quantity produced represents the amount of gold, silver, palladium and cobalt contained in concentrate or doré prior to smelting or refining deductions. Production figures are based on information provided by the
operators of the mining operations to which the mineral stream interests relate or management estimates in those situations where other information is not available. Certain production figures may be updated in future periods as additional
information is received.
|
| 2) |
GEOs, which are provided to assist the reader, are based on the following commodity price assumptions: $2,000 per ounce gold; $23.00 per ounce silver; $1,000 per ounce palladium; and $13.00 per pound cobalt;
consistent with those used in estimating the Company's production guidance for 2024.
|
| • |
33,000 ounce or 75% increase from Peñasquito (2,872,000 silver ounces), primarily due to higher grades and throughput, with prior year operations being impacted by a labour strike which lasted from June 7 to October
13, 2023;
|
| • |
20,000 ounce or 12% increase from Salobo, with production from the third concentrator line commencing at the end of 2022 and achieving the initial completion test of 32 Mtpa in Q4 2023, partially offset by lower
grades. From a throughput perspective, the three 12 mtpa lines operated at approximately 82% of capacity during 2024 as compared to approximately 65% during 2023; and
|
| • |
2,800 ounce or 95% increase from Voisey's Bay (438,000 cobalt pounds), primarily attributable to the mining of higher grade material as the transitional period between the depletion of the Ovoid open-pit and ramp-up to full production of
the Voisey’s Bay underground mine nears completion; partially offset by
|
| • |
13,700 ounce or 22% decrease from the Other mines (comprised of 4,300 gold ounces and 816,000 silver ounces), primarily due to the closure of the Minto mine in May 2023 and the temporary suspension of attributable
production from Aljustrel;
|
| • |
10,400 ounce or 33% decrease from San Dimas, primarily due to lower throughput and grades; and
|
| • |
2,100 ounce or 4% decrease from Constancia (comprised of 2,900 gold ounces and 70,000 silver ounces), primarily due to a lower grades largely due to the planned stripping activity in the Pampacancha pit, which commenced in the second
quarter, and continued throughout the third quarter.

Average cash cost of gold, silver and palladium on a per ounce basis and cobalt on a per pound basis is calculated by dividing the total cost of sales, less depletion and cost of sales related to delay ounces, by the
ounces or pounds sold. In the precious metal mining industry, this is a common performance measure but does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. In addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, management
and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance and ability to generate cash flow.

The cost of sales related to delay ounces is a non-cash expense (see footnote 3 on page 8 of this MD&A for more information).
|
| 2) |
Cash cost per pound of cobalt sold during the third quarter of 2023 was net of a previously recorded inventory write-down of $0.1 million (nine months - $1.6 million), resulting in a decrease of $0.51 per pound of
cobalt sold (nine months - $2.05 per pound of cobalt sold).
|
| iv. |
Cash operating margin is calculated by adding back depletion and the cost of sales related to delay ounces to the gross margin. Cash operating margin on a per ounce or per pound basis is calculated by dividing the
cash operating margin by the number of ounces or pounds sold during the period. The Company presents cash operating margin as management and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance in comparison to other
companies in the precious metal mining industry who present results on a similar basis as well as to evaluate the Company’s ability to generate cash flow.

Debt and share financing fees are deducted over a five-year period for Canadian income tax purposes. For accounting purposes, debt financing fees are deducted over the term of the credit facility and share financing
fees are charged directly to issued capital.
|
| 4) |
The Company’s position, as reflected in its filed Canadian income tax returns and consistent with the terms of the PMPAs, is that the cost of the precious metal acquired under the Canadian PMPAs is equal to the
market value while a deposit is outstanding (where applicable to an agreement), and the cash cost thereafter. For accounting purposes, the cost of the mineral stream interests is depleted on a unit-of-production basis as described in Note 12.

financial report and interim MD&A (together, the “interim filings”) of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (the “issuer”) for the interim period ended September 30, 2024.
|
| 2. |
No misrepresentations: Based on my
knowledge, having exercised reasonable diligence, the interim filings do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in
light of the circumstances under which it was made, with respect to the period covered by the interim filings.
|
| 3. |
Fair presentation: Based on my knowledge,
having exercised reasonable diligence, the interim financial report together with the other financial information included in the interim filings fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, financial performance and cash
flows of the issuer, as of the date of and for the periods presented in the interim filings.
|
| 4. |
Responsibility: The issuer’s other
certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (DC&P) and internal control over financial reporting (ICFR), as those terms are defined in National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings, for the issuer.
|
| 5. |
Design: Subject to the limitations, if any,
described in paragraphs 5.2 and 5.3, the issuer’s other certifying officer(s) and I have, as at the end of the period covered by the interim filings
|
| (a) |
designed DC&P, or caused it to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance that
|
| (i) |
material information relating to the issuer is made known to us by others, particularly during the period in which the interim filings are being prepared; and
|
| (ii) |
information required to be disclosed by the issuer in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by it under securities legislation is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation; and
|
| (b) |
designed ICFR, or caused it to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the issuer’s GAAP.
|
| 5.1 |
Control framework: The control framework the
issuer’s other certifying officer(s) and I used to design the issuer’s ICFR is Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Reporting changes in ICFR: The issuer has
disclosed in its interim MD&A any change in the issuer’s ICFR that occurred during the period beginning on July 1, 2024 and ended on September 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
issuer’s ICFR.
