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.
|

Comprised of the Coleman, Copper Cliff, Garson, Creighton and Totten gold interests. Operations at the Sudbury mines were suspended from June 1, 2021 to August 9, 2021 as a result of a labour
disruption by unionized employees.
|
| 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. Effective April 1, 2020, the
fixed gold to silver exchange ratio was revised to 90:1, with the 70:1 ratio being reinstated on October 15, 2020. For reference, attributable silver production from prior periods is as follows: Q3-2022 - 412,000 ounces; Q2-2022 - 382,000
ounces; Q1-2022 - 408,000 ounces; Q4-2021 - 544,000 ounces; Q3-2021 - 472,000 ounces; Q2-2021 - 467,000 ounces; Q1-2021 - 429,000 ounces; Q4-2020 - 485,000 ounces.

Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share are calculated by removing the effects of non-cash impairment charges (reversals) (if any), non-cash fair value (gains) losses and other
one-time (income) expenses as well as the reversal of non-cash income tax expense (recovery) which is offset by income tax expense (recovery) recognized in the Statements of Shareholders’ Equity and OCI, respectively. The Company believes that,
in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, management and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance.

| 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.1

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 relative to the comparable period of the prior year:
|
| o |
Production amounted to 159,900 gold equivalent ounces ("GEOs"), a decrease of 13%, primarily due to lower production at Salobo and the closure of the 777 mine.
|
| o |
Revenue amounted to $219 million (49% gold, 46% silver, 4% palladium and 1% cobalt), with the $50 million decrease being due to the combination of a 7% decrease in sales volumes and a 12% drop in commodity prices.
|
| o |
Gross margin amounted to $102 million, with the $49 million decrease being driven by the lower revenue combined with cost of sales reflecting a higher proportion of sales being attributable to PMPA's with a higher
unit cost.
|
| o |
Net earnings amounted to $196 million, with the $62 million increase being due primarily to the disposal of the Keno Hill PMPA which contributed $103 million of net earnings.
|
| o |
Adjusted net earnings amounted to $94 million, with the $43 million decrease being due primarily to the lower gross margin.
|
| o |
Operating cashflow amounted to $154 million, with the $47 million decrease being due primarily to the lower adjusted net earnings.
|
| • |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 relative to the comparable period of the prior year:
|
| o |
Production amounted to 491,100 GEOs, a decrease of 14%, primarily due to lower production at Salobo and Voisey’s Bay, with prior year production from Voisey’s Bay including 12,000 GEOs produced in prior periods.
|
| o |
Revenue amounted to $829 million (50% gold, 44% silver, 3% palladium and 3% cobalt), with the $94 million decrease being due to a 5% decrease in sales volumes and a 6% decrease in commodity prices.
|
| o |
Gross margin amounted to $444 million, a decrease of $64 million.
|
| o |
Net earnings amounted to $503 million, with the $40 million increase being due primarily to the disposal of the Keno Hill PMPA.
|
| o |
Adjusted net earnings amounted to $401 million, with the $59 million decrease being due primarily to the lower gross margin.
|
| o |
Operating cashflow amounted to $571 million, with the $78 million decrease being due primarily to the lower gross margin combined with higher payouts under the Company’s PSU program.
|
| • |
On November 3, 2022, the Board of Directors declared a dividend in the amount of $0.15 per common share.
|
| • |
On August 18, 2022, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with Glencore plc ("Glencore") to terminate its silver stream on the Yauliyacu PMPA for a cash payment of $150 million, less the
aggregate value of any deliveries to Wheaton, prior to closing, of silver produced subsequent to December 31, 2021. The closing of the transaction is contingent on Glencore divesting the Yauliyacu mine by December 31, 2022 and certain other
customary conditions. Glencore retains the option to terminate the silver stream even if it does not divest the Yauliyacu mine by December 31, 2022
|
| • |
On September 7, 2022, Hecla Mining Company (“Hecla”) completed the previously announced acquisition of all the outstanding common shares of Alexco Resource Corp (“Alexco”). In conjunction with this acquisition, the

|
| • |
During the third quarter of 2022, the Company made upfront cash payments totaling $47 million relative to PMPA’s.

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. Operations at the Sudbury mines were suspended from June 1, 2021 to August 9, 2021 as a result of a labour disruption by unionized
employees.
|
| 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. Effective April 1, 2020, the fixed gold to silver
exchange ratio was revised to 90:1, with the 70:1 ratio being reinstated on October 15, 2020. For reference, attributable silver production from prior periods is as follows: Q3-2022 - 412,000 ounces; Q2-2022 - 382,000 ounces; Q1-2022 - 408,000
ounces; Q4-2021 - 544,000 ounces; Q3-2021 - 472,000 ounces; Q2-2021 - 467,000 ounces; Q1-2021 - 429,000 ounces; Q4-2020 - 485,000 ounces.

GEOs and SEOs, which are provided to assist the reader, are based on the following commodity price assumptions: $1,800 per ounce gold; $24.00 per ounce silver; $2,100 per ounce palladium; and $33.00 per pound cobalt;
consistent with those used in estimating the Company's production guidance for 2022.
|
| • |
11,000 ounce (20%) decrease from Salobo, resulting from lower grades and recovery due to additional planned and corrective maintenance performed in the third quarter. As it relates to throughput, the two 12 mtpa
lines operated at an average rate of approximately 77% of capacity during Q3-2022 as compared to 81% during Q3-2021;
|
| • |
3,100 ounce (46%) decrease from Other mines, primarily due to the closure of the 777 mine in June 2022;
|
| • |
1,300 ounce (16%) decrease from Constancia, primarily due to the mining of lower grade material resulting from mine sequencing; and
|
| • |
1,100 ounce (38%) decrease from Stillwater, primarily due to lower throughput resulting from the effect of significant weather events in June (see page 8 of this MD&A for more information); partially offset by
|
| • |
4,600 ounce (3,109%) increase from Sudbury, with operations at the mine being temporarily suspended in the comparable quarter of the prior year due to a labour dispute.
|
| • |
175,000 ounce (8%) decrease from Other mines, primarily due to lower grades at Aljustrel and the placement of Stratoni into care and maintenance;
|
| • |
171,000 ounce (11%) decrease from Antamina, primarily due to lower grades, consistent with their mine plan; and
|
| • |
163,000 ounce (7%) decrease from Peñasquito, primarily due to lower recovery and grades consistent with their mine plan.

consistent with those used in estimating the Company's production guidance for 2022.
|
| • |
34,200 ounce (22%) decrease from Salobo, primarily due to lower grades and throughput, with Vale reporting that during the first quarter of 2022, operations at Salobo were impacted by both planned and corrective
maintenance in the mill liners, coupled with above average seasonal rain level in the region during the fourth quarter of 2021 impacting mine plans in the first quarter of 2022. Additionally, during the second quarter, concentrate production
was negatively impacted by plant performance due to delays in ramp-up after the planned and corrective maintenance. As it relates to throughput, the two 12 mtpa lines operated at an average rate of approximately 76% of capacity during the first
nine month of 2022 as compared to 84% during the comparable period of 2021;
|
| • |
6,700 ounce (26%) decrease from Other mines, primarily due to lower production at 777 with closure activities commencing in June 2022;
|
| • |
2,500 ounce (27%) decrease from Stillwater, primarily due to lower throughput resulting from the effect of significant weather events in June (see page 8 of this MD&A for more information); and
|
| • |
1,600 ounce (5%) decrease from San Dimas, primarily due to lower throughput; partially offset by
|
| • |
5,000 ounce (31%) increase from Constancia, primarily due to higher grades resulting from the commencement of ore production from the Pampacancha satellite deposit and the increase in fixed recoveries from 55% to
70%, both occurring during Q2-2021; and
|
| • |
3,700 ounce (31%) increase from Sudbury, primarily due to higher throughput, grades and recoveries, with 2021 production being impacted by the temporary suspension of operations from June 1, 2021 to August 9, 2021 as
a result of a labour dispute.
|
| • |
667,000 ounce (14%) decrease from Antamina, primarily due to lower grades, consistent with their mine plan; and
|
| • |
506,000 ounce (7%) decrease from Other mines, primarily due to the placement of Stratoni into care and maintenance during Q4 2021.

Cash operating margin is calculated by subtracting the average cash cost of gold, silver and palladium on a per ounce basis and cobalt on a per pound basis from the average realized selling price of gold, silver and
palladium on a per ounce basis and cobalt on a per pound basis. 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.

Comprised of the Los Filos, Zinkgruvan, Yauliyacu, Stratoni, Keno Hill, Neves-Corvo, Minto, Aljustrel, Loma de La Plata, Pascua-Lama, Copper World Complex (formerly referred to as Rosemont in these financial
statements), 777, Marmato, Cozamin, Blackwater and Curipamba silver interests. The Keno Hill PMPA was terminated on September 7, 2022. On August 18, 2022, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with Glencore plc
("Glencore") to terminate its silver stream on the Yauliyacu Mine in Peru for a cash payment of $150 million, less the aggregate value of any deliveries to Wheaton, prior to closing, of silver produced subsequent to December 31, 2021. As at
September 30, 2022, the net termination payment is estimated to be approximately $136 million. The closing of the transaction is contingent on Glencore divesting the Yauliyacu mine by December 31, 2022 and certain other customary conditions.
Glencore retains the option to terminate the silver stream even if it does not divest the Yauliyacu mine by December 31, 2022.

|

Comprised of the Stillwater and East Boulder gold and palladium interests.
|
| 3) |
Comprised of the Minto, Copper World Complex (formerly referred to as Rosemont in these financial statements), 777, Marmato, Santo Domingo, Fenix, Blackwater, Marathon, Goose and Curipamba gold interests.
|
| 4) |
Comprised of the Los Filos, Zinkgruvan, Yauliyacu, Stratoni, Keno Hill, Neves-Corvo, Minto, Aljustrel, Loma de La Plata, Pascua-Lama, Copper World Complex (formerly referred to as Rosemont in these financial
statements), 777, Marmato, Cozamin, Blackwater and Curipamba silver interests. The Keno Hill PMPA was terminated on September 7, 2022. On August 18, 2022, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with Glencore to terminate
its silver stream on the Yauliyacu Mine in Peru for a cash payment of $150 million, less the aggregate value of any deliveries to Wheaton, prior to closing, of silver produced subsequent to December 31, 2021. Wheaton has agreed to terminate the
stream in order to help facilitate the sale by Glencore of the Yauliyacu Mine. As at September 30, 2022, the net termination payment is estimated to be approximately $136 million. The closing of the transaction is contingent on Glencore
divesting the Yauliyacu mine by December 31, 2022 and certain other customary conditions. Glencore retains the option to terminate the silver stream even if it does not divest the Yauliyacu mine by December 31, 2022.

| 1) |
As at September 30, 2022, the Company had no non-capital losses available to recognize against deferred tax liabilities.
|
| 2) |
Other includes capital assets, cobalt inventory, charitable donation carryforward, and PSU and pension liabilities.
|
| 3) |
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 4.2.

Subsequent Events
|

| 1. |
Review: I have reviewed the interim financial
report and interim MD&A (together, the “interim filings”) of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (the “issuer”) for the interim period ended September 30, 2022.
|
| 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.
|
| 5.2 |
N/A
|
| 5.3 |
N/A
|
| 6. |
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, 2022 and ended on September 30, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the issuer’s
ICFR.
