David Harquail, President and CEO, commented:

"This is our fifth full-year set of financial results since
Franco-Nevada was reborn as a public company with our IPO in late
2007.  The last five years have proven that our business model, with
its focus on gold royalties and streams, can create tremendous
shareholder value.  We experienced our best year in 2012 with record
Revenues and Adjusted Net Income. Our Cobre Panama and Weyburn
transactions in 2012 have added cornerstone assets with expected lives
of 40 or more years.  We recorded an impairment on our Arctic Gas
resource assets to reflect the current markets.

We expect our existing portfolio will continue to generate a growing
number of ounces over the next five years. We continue to see good
opportunities to further supplement this growth with further
investments and, with our recently expanded credit facility, we are
well-positioned with approximately $1.4 billion of capital available
for further investments."

Portfolio Highlights & Outlook

Details of the individual revenue contributions by asset and commodity
can be found in our Management's Discussion and Analysis, Annual
Information Form and Form 40-F available on our web site.

2012 Portfolio Highlights

  • Gold - U.S.:  Revenue increased to $101.7 million in 2012, compared to US$87.4 million
    in 2011, primarily due to higher net profits at Goldstrike and higher
    production at Bald Mountain.
  • Gold - Canada: Revenue increased to $46.0 million in 2012, compared to US$32.4 million
    in 2011, primarily due to higher production from our Golden Highway
    assets and higher contributions from Hemlo where our net profit
    interest ("NPI") reached payout supplementing a revenue royalty.
  • Gold - Australia:  Continued growth at our Australian assets was primarily due to the
    commencement of production at the Garden Well mine in addition to the
    original Moolart Well mine, both covered by our Duketon royalty, and an
    addition to our royalty over the Bronzewing gold project in early 2012.
  • Gold - Rest of World:  Revenue decreased to $161.3 million in 2012, compared to US$177.5
    million in 2011, primarily due to the completion of minimum payment
    obligations by Cooke 4 (Ezulwini) in 2011 and production interruptions
    in South Africa which were resolved in November. Palmarejo had slightly
    lower production but remained the largest revenue generator before the
    deduction for the cost of stream ounces. Higher royalty revenues were
    realized from Tasiast, Edikan (a recent acquisition) and Subika where
    operations surpassed an aggregate production threshold in 2012.
  • PGM Assets:  Revenue decreased to $60.7 million in 2012, compared to $63.9 million,
    due to lower average PGM prices and lower production from Stillwater
    partially offset by higher production from the Sudbury assets.
  • Oil & Gas Assets: Revenue increased to $40.9 million in 2012, compared to $34.9 million
    in 2011, primarily due to additional investments at the Weyburn Unit
    but revenue growth was muted by a higher price discount for Canadian
    oil.  2012 oil & gas revenue was generated 95% from oil and 5% from
    gas.

2013 Guidance

  • Guidance - The Corporation is expecting to receive a total of 215,000 to 235,000
    gold equivalent ounces from its mineral assets and $55-$65 million in
    revenue from its oil & gas assets. This compares to approximately
    230,000 gold equivalent ounces received from mineral assets and $40.9
    million in revenue recorded from oil & gas assets in 2012. Of the
    215,000 to 235,000 gold equivalent ounces, the Corporation expects to
    receive 100,000 to 110,000 gold equivalent ounces in 2013 under its
    various stream agreements compared with 114,000 ounces in 2012.

    Gold equivalent royalty and stream ounces are estimated for gross
    ounces, and in the case of stream ounces, before the payment of
    approximately $400 per gold equivalent ounce paid by the Corporation.
    Platinum and palladium metals have been converted to gold equivalent
    ounces using commodity prices of $1,600/oz Au, $1,600/oz Pt and $725/oz
    Pd.  The WTI oil price is assumed to average $90 per barrel with
    similar price discounts for Canadian oil as experienced in 2012. 2013
    guidance assumes the continued steady state of operations from its
    assets and is also based on the assumptions set out below.

  • Gold - U.S.:  Goldstrike royalty ounces for 2013 are expected to be lower than
    2012.  Barrick announced that construction activities surrounding its
    thiosulfate project are expected to reduce capacity at the autoclave
    facility.  As well, Barrick announced higher expected capital
    expenditures during 2013.  These developments will impact our NSR
    royalty ounces and NPI royalty ounces, respectively but the investment
    is expected to accelerate production from stockpiles and benefit future
    royalty revenues.  At Gold Quarry, the Company expects higher royalty
    ounces for 2013 than in prior years based on stockpiled ore. Royalty
    ounces from Bald Mountain, Hollister and Mesquite are expected to be
    lower in 2013 due to mining sequencing at Bald Mountain, creditor
    protection activities at Hollister and mining on ground that attracts a
    lower royalty at Mesquite.
  • Gold - Canada:  Detour Lake poured its first gold in February 2013. Detour Gold
    Corporation ("Detour") announced that it expects to produce 350,000 to
    400,000 ounces of gold in 2013 from Detour Lake on which the
    Corporation has a 2% NSR.  At Hemlo, the Corporation's NPI on the down
    dip extension of the mine is expected to benefit from a full year of
    production as initial capital costs have been recovered. At Timmins
    West, where the Corporation has a 2.25% NSR, Lake Shore announced that
    it expects to produce 120,000-135,000 ounces of gold in 2013 and reach
    its full production rate of 140,000 to 160,000 ounces by the end of
    2013.
  • Gold - Australia:  Duketon gold production is expected to increase with Moolart Well
    being supplemented by a full year of Garden Well production. The
    operator, Regis Resources Ltd. ("Regis"), has announced plans to add a
    third operation, Rosemont, later in 2013.
  • Gold - Rest of World:  Palmarejo is expected to remain a significant revenue contributor and
    Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation ("Coeur") has forecasted 2013 gold
    production of 98,000 to 105,000 ounces. The Corporation's 50% gold
    stream over Palmarejo includes an annual minimum provision of 50,000
    ounces, payable monthly. At Mine Waste Solutions ("MWS"), the
    Corporation expects increased stream ounces in 2013 compared to 2012
    reflecting fewer expected interruptions under the new ownership of
    AngloGold Ashanti Limited ("AngloGold Ashanti"). At Tasiast, where the
    Corporation has a 2% NSR, Kinross Gold Corporation ("Kinross") has
    announced that it expects a reduction in its overall production for
    2013 citing lower grades. Kinross' updated pre-feasibility study for a
    mill expansion is expected in 2013. At Subika, royalty ounces are
    expected to be higher in 2013 as a full year of production will be
    earned as Subika surpassed aggregate production hurdles in Q3 2012. At
    Edikan, where the Corporation has an effective 1.5% NSR, Perseus Mining
    Limited has announced 2013 gold production guidance of 209,000 to
    229,000 ounces.  At Cooke 4 (Ezulwini) the operation resumed production
    in November 2012 and fewer production interruptions are expected in
    2013.
  • PGMs:  Sudbury stream ounces are expected to decline in 2013 as the
    operator, KGHM International Ltd. ("KGHM") confirmed its intention to
    put Podolsky on care and maintenance. In addition, KGHM is expected to
    continue to focus on mining nickel ore at McCreedy which does not
    generate payable PGMs attributable to the Corporation. Development is
    ongoing at Morrison and production is expected to increase in 2013. At
    Stillwater, 2013 royalty ounces are expected to be consistent with
    historical levels.
  • Other minerals:  At the Peculiar Knob iron-ore project in South Australia, production
    has begun and the Corporation expects to receive full-year revenue in
    2013.
  • Oil & Gas:  The Corporation expects 2013 revenue to be higher at $55 million to
    $65 million. This reflects the additional investments in the Weyburn
    Unit in 2012 offset partly by a price discount for Canadian oil.
  • Investments:  The Corporation expects to fund approximately $270.0 million in 2013
    in connection with its precious metals stream agreement on Cobre
    Panama.  The Corporation has assumed no material changes to the timing
    or development of the project should First Quantum Minerals Ltd.'s
    ("First Quantum") bid for Inmet Mining Corporation ("Inmet") be
    successful.

Five Year Outlook (2017)

Our five year outlook is based upon the respective operators' public
projections for each asset. Using the same commodity price assumptions
as for 2013 and assuming no other acquisitions, the Company expects its
existing portfolio to generate by 2017 between 300,000 to 325,000 gold
equivalent ounces and $70 to $80 million in oil & gas revenues.  This
outlook is also based on the following assumptions:

  • Detour Gold:  The outlook assumes the successful commissioning of the new operation
    to produce on average 657,000 ounces per year over the life of mine. No
    further expansion has been assumed within the next five years. 
  • Tasiast:  The outlook assumes no material expansion within the five year period as
    expansion plans have not been publicly disclosed. Production levels in
    2017 are assumed to be comparable to current production levels.
  • Cobre Panama: The outlook assumes a successful commissioning of the Cobre Panama
    project with a full year of production in 2017 as projected by Inmet. In the event that First Quantum's bid for Inmet is successful, the
    outlook assumes no material changes to the timing or development of the
    project. No further expansions are incorporated in this period. In
    December 2012, Inmet announced updated reserve and resource estimates
    for its Cobre Panama project as well as an extension to the estimated
    mine life.  The expected mine life of the Cobre Panama project based on
    a revised mine plan has been extended to 40 years from 31 years.
  • New mines:  The outlook assumes new mines will be contributing to the portfolio at
    levels close to the current operator's projections at Rosemont (owned by Augusta Resource), Phoenix (owned by Rubicon Minerals), Agi Dagi (owned by Alamos Gold), Perama Hill (owned by Eldorado Gold), Duketon (comprising Rosemont and Erlistoun and owned by Regis Resources) and Peculiar Knob (owned by Arrium Limited). Increased production is expected by 2017 at Subika (operated by Newmont Mining) and Holt (operated by St Andrews).  Lower production is expected by 2017 at Palmarejo and Goldstrike.  New Prosperity has not been included in the guidance to 2017 pending progress on
    permitting.
  • Oil & gas:  The outlook assumes the ongoing enhanced oil recovery capital program at
    Weyburn and Canadian oil price differentials returning to historic
    norms.
  • Beyond 2017: The Company expects to incorporate expansions at its Tasiast, Detour and
    Cobre Panama assets in its future guidance. Receipt of permits at New
    Prosperity would provide a material added contribution.

Financial Results

Revenue

  • Revenue was $114.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared with
    $118.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. The decrease in revenue
    for the quarter was partly attributable to lower production at
    Palmarejo and the completion of minimum stream payments from Cooke 4
    (Ezulwini) in 2011. These decreases were partially offset by higher
    revenue from Goldstrike which contributed $19.4 million to revenue in
    Q4 2012.
  • Revenue for 2012 was $427.0 million compared with $411.2 million for
    2011, an increase of 4%. Growth in revenue for the year was driven by
    higher production at Goldstrike, higher average commodity prices and
    recent acquisitions.
  • Revenue for the fourth quarter was earned 87% from precious metal assets
    (74% gold; 13% PGMs), 11% from oil & gas (10% oil; 1% gas) and 2% from
    other minerals.  For 2012, precious metals revenue represented 89% (75%
    gold; 14% PGMs), oil & gas 10% (9% oil; 1% gas) and 1% for other
    minerals. For 2012, geographically, 83% of revenue came from North
    America (28% US, 31% Canada and 24% Mexico), 12% from Africa, 4% from
    Australia and 1% from other jurisdictions. The components of revenue
    were earned as follows: 42% revenue-based, 45% streams, 9%
    profit-based, 3% working interests and 1% other.

Costs and expenses

  • Costs of sales include the costs of gold equivalent ounces purchased
    under stream agreements, oil & gas production taxes, operating costs on
    oil & gas working interests and net proceeds taxes on mineral
    interests. Costs of sales for the fourth quarter of 2012 were $13.7
    million which included $10.3 million for the cost of stream ounces.
    Depletion and depreciation was $32.8 million compared with $33.2
    million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2011. Depletion was lower due
    to lower depletion on Cooke 4 (Ezulwini), Gold Quarry and Palmarejo,
    partially offset by higher depletion on oil & gas assets, Goldstrike
    and the Sudbury assets.
  • For the year ended December 31, 2012, costs of sales were $59.2 million
    compared to $63.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The
    decrease was attributable in part to the lower volume of stream ounces
    received during 2012 from our international stream properties. The
    decrease was partially offset by higher oil & gas production taxes
    attributable to the acquisition of Weyburn Unit working interest and
    higher Nevada net proceeds taxes as higher revenue was generated from
    our Nevada royalties.
  • During the fourth quarter, the Company recorded impairment charges of
    $74.1 million on its Arctic Gas assets. Given the nature of the
    exploration assets and development profile, management determined that
    indications of impairment were evident and completed an impairment
    analysis. In addition, the Company recorded $8.6 million in impairment
    charges related to certain long-term investments held which experienced
    a significant or prolonged decline in their value. Please refer to the Company's annual consolidated financial statements
    and management's discussion and analysis for a more detailed
    discussion.
  • Income tax expense was $10.9 million and $52.3 million for the three and
    twelve months ended December 31, 2012, respectively.

Net Income

  • Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $33.1 million, or $0.23 per
    share, and Adjusted Net Income(2) for the fourth quarter was $47.0 million, or $0.32 per share. For the
    year ended December 31, 2012, net income was $102.6 million, or $0.72
    per share, compared with a net loss of $6.8 million, or $0.05 per
    share, for 2011. Adjusted Net Income(2) for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $171.0 million, or $1.19 per
    share, compared with $136.0 million, or $1.08 per share, for the year
    ended December 31, 2011.
  • Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $93.7 million, or $0.65 per share, and $347.8 million, or $2.43 per
    share, respectively, for the three and twelve months ended December 31,
    2012. Our definitions of these non-IFRS financial measures and the
    reconciliations to IFRS measures can be found in the Company's Annual
    Management's Discussion and Analysis and at the end of this press
    release.
