Franco-Nevada reports Q2 adjusted EPS $1.24, consensus $1.12

Reports Q2 revenue $369.4M, consensus $371.84. “I am very pleased with our record financial results this quarter,” stated Paul Brink, CEO. Our portfolio largely produced as expected for the quarter and higher gold prices contributed to record revenue, operating cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA margins2 and earnings. We also saw constructive developments in Panama, including the shipment of the remaining copper concentrate from Cobre Panama. During the quarter, we acquired a royalty on IAMGOLD’s Cote Gold Mine, one of Canada’s newest large-scale gold mines and, post quarter-end, a royalty on AngloGold’s Arthur Project, one of the largest gold discoveries in Nevada. We anticipate new contributions from Cote and growing contributions from Porcupine and Tocantinzinho to be the main drivers for higher GEOs in the second half of the year. Our acquisitions over the last 18 months have positioned us for strong long-term growth that may be further enhanced by a potential restart at Cobre Panama.”
