Franco-Nevada Corporation 13The Gold Investment that WORKS
Market OverviewThe prices of precious metals are the largest factors in determining profitability and cash-flow from operations for Franco-Nevada.Historically,thepriceofgoldhasbeensubjecttovolatilepricemovementsandisaffectedbynumerousmacroeconomicandindustryfactorsthatarebeyondtheCompany’scontrol.Majorinfluencesonthegoldpriceincludemacroeconomicfactorssuchasthelevelofinterestrates,inflationexpectations,currencyexchangeratefluctuationsincludingtherelativestrengthoftheU.S.dollar,andthesupplyofanddemandforgold.
The gold price performed well in the first quarter of 2017, somewhat reversing most of the losses it had incurred in the lastquarterof2016.Aswaswidelyanticipated,inMarch2017,theU.S.FederalReserveincreaseditsbenchmarkinterestrate for a second time in three months. There continues to be significant uncertainty as several elections take place in Europe,includinganunexpectedelectionintheU.K.,andthecurrentU.S.administrationcontinuestoimplementitsvariouseconomicinitiativesincludingpotentialtaxcutsandrenegotiationsoftradeagreements.
Overall,thegoldpriceendedQ1/2017at$1,245/oz,approximately8.6%higherthanattheendofQ4/2016.DuringQ1/2017,goldpricestradedbetween$1,151/ozand$1,284/ozwithanaveragepriceof$1,219/oz.Thisrepresentsanincreaseof3.2%comparedtotheQ1/2016averagegoldpriceof$1,181/oz,whileremainingrelativelyconsistentwiththeaveragepriceof$1,218/ozforQ4/2016.
ThepriceofsilverendedQ1/2017at$18.06/oz,11.2%higherthanattheendofQ4/2016.Silverpricesaveraged$17.42/ozinQ1/2017,comparedto$14.83/ozinQ1/2016,anincreaseof17.5%.Asforplatinumandpalladium,thepriceperounceattheendofQ1/2017was$940/ozand$798/oz,respectively,increasesof4.7%and19.1%,respectively,whencomparedtopricesattheendofQ4/2016.Averagepricesforthequarterwere$981/ozand$767/oz,forplatinumandpalladiumrespectively,comparedto$914/ozand$524/oz,forQ1/2016,increasesof7.3%and46.4%year-over-year,respectively.
Commodity price volatility also impacts the number of GEOs contributed by non-gold mineral assets when converting silver,platinum,palladiumandothermineralstoGEOs.Silver,platinum,palladiumandothermineralsareconvertedtoGEOsbydividingassociatedrevenue,whichincludessettlementadjustments,bytherelevantgoldprice.Thegoldpriceused in the computation of GEOs earned from a particular asset varies depending on the royalty or stream agreement, which may make reference to the market price realized by the operator, or the average for the month, quarter, or year in which the mineral was produced or sold.
Despite the volatile commodity prices, the Company continued to deliver strong results and significant increases in GEOscomparedtoQ1/2016,reflectingtheperformanceofourmineralassets.OneofthestrengthsoftheFranco-Nevadabusiness model is that our business is not impacted when producer costs increase as long as the producer continues to operate. Royalty and stream payments/deliveries are based on production levels of the underlying operations with noadjustmentsfortheoperator’soperatingcosts,withtheexceptionofNPIandNRIroyalties,whicharebasedontheprofitoftheunderlyingminingoperation.Profit-basedroyaltiesaccountedforapproximately5.2%oftotalrevenuesinQ1/2017.

of cash flows and statement of income and comprehensive income. For further information, refer to Note 16 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The Company’s non IFRS measures, as defined in the “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” section of this MD&A, were also adjusted accordingly to reflect gains/losses on sales of such gold bullion as an operating activity that is part of the Company’s underlying operating business. Comparative information presented above has been adjusted to conform to current presentation.
(4) Based on LBMA Gold Price PM Fix.(5) GEOs include our gold, silver, platinum, palladium and other mineral assets, and do not include Oil & Gas assets. GEOs are estimated on a gross basis for NSR
royalties and, in the case of stream ounces, before the payment of the per ounce contractual price paid by the Company. For NPI royalties, GEOs are calculated taking into account the NPI economics. Silver, platinum, palladium and other minerals are converted to GEOs by dividing associated revenue, which includes settlement adjustments, by the relevant gold price. The gold price used in the computation of GEOs earned from a particular asset varies depending on the royalty or stream agreement, which may make reference to the market price realized by the operator, or the average for the month, quarter, or year in which the mineral was produced or sold. For illustrative purposes, please refer to average commodity price tables on page 16 of this Quarterly Report for indicative prices which may be used in the calculation of GEOs.
(6) Adjusted EBITDA, Margin and Adjusted Net Income are non-IFRS measures with no standardized meaning under IFRS. For further information and a detailed reconciliation, please refer to the “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” section of this MD&A.

Note 8 - Fair value measurementsFair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. For some assets and liabilities, observable market transactions or market information might be available. For other assets and liabilities, observable markettransactionsandmarketinformationmightnotbeavailable.However,theobjectiveofafairvaluemeasurementin both cases is the same - to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset or to transfer the liability wouldtakeplacebetweenmarketparticipantsatthemeasurementdateundercurrentmarketconditions(i.e.anexitpriceat the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability).
The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.
• Level1inputsarequotedprices(unadjusted)inactivemarketsforidenticalassetsorliabilities. • Level2inputsarequotedpricesinmarketsthatarenotactive,quotedpricesforsimilarassetsorliabilitiesin
activemarkets,inputsotherthanquotedpricesobservablefortheassetorliability(forexample,interestrateand yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, forward pricing curves used to value currency and commodity contracts and volatility measurements used to value option contracts), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means.
• Level3inputsareunobservable(supportedbylittleornomarketactivity).
ThefairvaluehierarchygivesthehighestprioritytoLevel1inputsandthelowestprioritytoLevel3inputs.
There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

FairValuesofFinancialAssetsandLiabilities
