Wheaton Precious Metals Announces Record Revenue, Adjusted Net Earnings and Operating Cash Flow for the First Quarter of 2025

FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

VANCOUVER, BC, May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - "Wheaton delivered a strong start to 2025, with our core assets exceeding production expectations and driving record quarterly revenue, adjusted net earnings, and operating cash flow. In times of economic uncertainty, gold is viewed as a reliable store of value, and these results demonstrate why we believe Wheaton offers one of the best low-risk opportunities for investors seeking exposure to precious metals," said Randy Smallwood, President and CEO of Wheaton Precious Metals. "Looking ahead, 2025 is shaping up to be a catalyst-rich year, with four development projects scheduled to come online over the course of the year. Notably, Artemis Gold announced commercial production at the Blackwater Mine on May 2, an exciting milestone at an asset which is expected to contribute meaningfully to Wheaton's portfolio going forward. With the solid foundation of our currently producing asset base, coupled with our industry leading growth profile, we believe we are uniquely positioned to continue pursuing accretive growth and delivering long-term value creation to all of our stakeholders."

Record Financial Performance and Strong Balance Sheet

• First quarter of 2025: A record $470 million in revenue, $254 million in net earnings, and $361 million in operating cash flow.
• Declared a quarterly dividend¹ of $0.165 per common share.
• Balance Sheet: Cash balance of $1.1 billion, no debt, and an undrawn $2 billion revolving credit facility as at March 31, 2025.

High Quality Asset Base

• Streaming and royalty agreements on 18 operating mines and 28 development projects and other⁵.
• 83% of attributable production from assets in the lowest half of their respective cost curves^2,4.
• Attributable gold equivalent production³ ("GEOs") of 151,000 ounces in the first quarter of 2025. While quarterly production decreased 4% relative to the comparable period of the prior year as a result of planned lower production from Constancia and Peñasquito, it still surpassed expectations, driven primarily by strong quarterly production achieved at Salobo.
• Further de-risked forecast growth profile as construction activities advanced at a number of development projects including Goose, Platreef, and Mineral Park, all of which are currently expected to be producing by the end of 2025.
• On March 7, 2025, the Company amended the Blackwater Silver PMPA with Artemis Gold Inc. ("Artemis") by simplifying the payable silver calculation, which is expected to accelerate the receipt of payable silver ounces by Wheaton.
• Subsequent to the quarter, on May 2, 2025, Artemis announced that it had achieved commercial production at the Blackwater mine, with mining delivering in excess of 90% of its planned tonnage, and mined tonnes and grades reconciling favourably to the resource model.

Leadership in Sustainability

• Awarded US$1 million to the winning venture of the inaugural Future of Mining Challenge, ReThink Milling Inc., to advance their Conjugate Anvil Hammer Mill ("CAHM") and MonoRoll technologies, for their potential ability to lower energy use in the milling process.
• Recognized by Corporate Knights as one of the 2025 Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations, based on a rigorous assessment of over more than 8,300 public companies with revenue over US$1 billion.

Operational Overview 

Financial Review

Revenues
Revenue in the first quarter of 2025 was $470 million (68% gold, 30% silver, 1% palladium and 1% cobalt), with the $174 million increase relative to the prior period quarter being primarily due to a 36% increase in the average realized gold equivalent³ price; and a 16% increase in the number of GEOs³ sold.

Cash Costs and Margin
Average cash costs¹ in the first quarter of 2025 were $446 per GEO³ as compared to $433 in the first quarter of 2024. This resulted in a cash operating margin¹ of $2,400 per GEO³ sold, an increase of 45% as compared with the first quarter of 2024, a result of the higher realized price per ounce. Notably, year-over-year margin growth exceeded the appreciation in gold prices over the same period, underscoring the effectiveness of our business model in leveraging rising commodity prices while maintaining strong cash operating margins.

Cash Flow from Operations
Operating cash flow in the first quarter of 2025 amounted to $361 million, with the $141 million increase from the comparable period of the prior year, due primarily to the higher gross margin.

Produced But Not Yet Delivered
As at March 31, 2025, approximately 136,100 GEOs were produced but not yet delivered ("PBND") representing approximately three months of payable production. Total PBND ounces decreased quarter over quarter as strong production levels in the fourth quarter of 2024, resulted in an increase to sales realized in the first quarter of 2025, due to the inherent timing delay between production and sales. The Company expects PBND levels to stay at the higher end of our forecasted range of two to three months until the end of 2025, in part due to the ramp up of new mines, forecast to commence operations in the second half of the year.

Balance Sheet (at March 31, 2025)

• Approximately $1,086 million of cash on hand
• During the first quarter of 2025, the Company made total upfront cash payments of $95 million relative to the mineral stream interests consisting of:
  • $40 million relative to the Mineral Park PMPA;
  • $30 million relative to the Blackwater PMPA; and
  • $25 million relative to the Fenix PMPA.
• Subsequent to the quarter, the Company made additional upfront cash payments of $303 million relative to the mineral stream interests consisting of:
  • $144 million relative to the Salobo III expansion;
  • $156 million relative to the Koné PMPA; and
  • $3 million relative to the Cangrejos PMPA.
• With the existing cash on hand coupled with the fully undrawn $2 billion revolving credit facility, the Company believes it is well positioned to fund all outstanding commitments and known contingencies as well as providing flexibility to acquire additional accretive mineral stream interests. Given the strength of Wheaton's balance sheet and forecasted cash flows, the Company has elected to not renew its at-the-market equity program.

Global Minimum Tax
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, an amount of $45 million current tax expense associated with Global Minimum Tax ("GMT") was recorded, with GMT being payable 15 months after year-end (18 months after year-end for the year-ended December 31, 2024). As the Global Minimum Tax Act ("GMTA") was not enacted into law until Q2-2024, no GMT expense was reflected in Q1-2024 results. 

Chief Financial Officer Transition

On January 9, 2025, Wheaton announced that Gary Brown will be stepping down from his role as Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"). As part of the previously announced planned leadership succession, Vincent Lau was appointed CFO effective March 31, 2025.

First Quarter Operating Asset Highlights

Salobo: In the first quarter of 2025, Salobo produced 71,400 ounces of attributable gold, an increase of approximately 16% relative to the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher throughput and grades, partially offset by lower recoveries.

On March 4, 2025, Vale informed the Company that it had achieved a sustained throughput capacity of over 35 Mtpa over a 90-day period, indicating completion of the second phase of the Salobo III expansion project. The Company advanced the remaining balance of the expansion payment to Vale in the amount of $144 million on April 4, 2025.

Antamina: In the first quarter of 2025, Antamina produced 1.1 million ounces of attributable silver, an increase of approximately 35% relative to the first quarter of 2024 primarily due to higher grades and throughput, partially offset by lower recoveries. On April 22, 2025, it was reported that operations were temporarily halted after an incident which triggered a full safety shutdown. Operations have since re-commenced.

Peñasquito: In the first quarter of 2025, Peñasquito produced 1.8 million ounces of attributable silver, a decrease of approximately 34% relative to the first quarter of 2024, primarily the result of lower grades as mining activities have transitioned back into the Peñasco pit which contains lower silver grades relative to the Chile Colorado pit.

Constancia: In the first quarter of 2025, Constancia produced 0.6 million ounces of attributable silver and 4,900 ounces of attributable gold, a decrease of approximately 13% and 65%, respectively, relative to the first quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily the result of lower grades as more material was mined from Constancia and reclaimed from the stockpile compared with the prior year. On February 19, 2025, Hudbay Minerals Inc. ("Hudbay") announced that gold production in 2025 is expected to be lower than 2024 levels as additional high grade gold benches were mined in late 2024, ahead of schedule, resulting in gold production exceeding 2024 guidance levels. The Pampacancha deposit is now expected to be depleted in early December 2025 as opposed to October 2025, as the mine plan has smoothed Pampacancha production throughout the year. Total mill ore feed from Pampacancha is expected to be approximately 25% in 2025, lower than the typical one-third in prior years as Pampacancha approaches depletion.

During Q1 2025 relative to Q4 2024, a greater percentage of gold production came from the lower grade Constancia pit as opposed to the higher grade Pampacancha pit, resulting in significantly lower production levels in Q1 2025 as compared to Q4 2024.

Sudbury: In the first quarter of 2025, Vale's Sudbury mines produced 4,900 ounces of attributable gold, a decrease of approximately 13% relative to the first quarter of 2024, due to lower grades. 

San Dimas: In the first quarter of 2025, San Dimas produced 8,400 ounces of attributable gold, an increase of approximately 12% relative to the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher throughput, partially offset by lower grades.

In accordance with the San Dimas PMPA, effective April 30, 2025, the fixed gold to silver exchange ratio has been revised from 70:1 to 90:1. (see footnote 4 on page 14 of this press release for more information).

Stillwater: In the first quarter of 2025, the Stillwater mines produced 1,300 ounces of attributable gold and 2,700 ounces of attributable palladium, a decrease of approximately 49% for gold and 40% for palladium relative to the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to lower throughput as Stillwater West operations were put into care and maintenance in September 2024.

Voisey's Bay: In the first quarter of 2025, the Voisey's Bay mine produced 540,000 pounds of attributable cobalt, an increase of approximately 125% relative to the first quarter of 2024, as the transitional period between the depletion of the Ovoid open-pit and ramp-up to full production of the Voisey's Bay underground continues. On April 15, 2025, Vale reported the consistent ramp-up of Voisey's Bay's underground operations. The full ramp-up is expected by the second half of 2026.  

Other Gold: In the first quarter of 2025, total Other Gold attributable production was 1,800 ounces, an increase of approximately 185% relative to the first quarter of 2024 due to the initial reported production from Blackwater.

Other Silver: In the first quarter of 2025, total Other Silver attributable production was 1.3 million ounces, a decrease of approximately 4% relative to the first quarter of 2024, as the initial reported production from Blackwater was offset by lower production at Neves-Corvo.  

Zinkgruvan and Neves-Corvo: On April 16, 2025, Lundin Mining Corporation ("Lundin Mining") announced that it has completed the sale of its Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan mines to Boliden AB.

Blackwater: On January 22, 2025, Artemis announced that commissioning of the grinding circuit at the Blackwater mine has advanced and milling of first ore commenced, with the first pour of gold and silver being announced on January 29, 2025. Subsequent to the quarter, on May 2, 2025, Artemis announced that it had achieved commercial production at the Blackwater mine. Artemis reports that mining has delivered in excess of 90% of its planned tonnage, and that mined tonnes and grades are reconciling favourably to the resource model. Artemis notes that the proposed phase 2 expansion is anticipated to increase Blackwater's average annual production to over 500,000 GEOs per year, positioning the mine as a key long-term asset in a favourable jurisdiction for Wheaton.

Los Filos: On April 1, 2025, Equinox reported it has indefinitely suspended operations at Los Filos following the expiry of its land access agreement with the community of Carrizalillo on March 31, 2025.

Corporate Development

Amendment to Blackwater PMPA: On March 7, 2025, the Company amended its PMPA (the "Blackwater Silver PMPA") with Artemis Gold Inc. ("Artemis") in respect of silver production from the Blackwater Project located in British Columbia in Canada (the "Blackwater Project"). Under the Blackwater Silver PMPA, Wheaton will acquire an amount of silver equal to 50% of the payable silver until 17.8 million ounces have been delivered and 33% of payable silver thereafter for the life of the mine.

As a result of the amendment, the amount of payable silver will be based on a multiple ranging from 5.07 to 5.17 of the number of ounces of gold produced, rather than being based on a fixed silver recovery factor. The ratio is currently 5.17. Once 17.8 million ounces of silver have been delivered, the determination of payable silver will revert to being based on a fixed silver recovery factor, consistent with the previous terms of the Blackwater Silver PMPA. As a result of the changed payable silver profile which is expected to deliver silver ounces to the Company sooner relative to the original profile, on March 10, 2025, the Company paid Artemis $30 million in connection with this amendment.

Cautionary Language Regarding Reserves and Resources

For further information on Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources and on Wheaton more generally, readers should refer to Wheaton's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed on March 31, 2025 and other continuous disclosure documents filed by Wheaton since January 1, 2025, available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. Wheaton's Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources are subject to the qualifications and notes set forth therein. Mineral Resources, which are not Mineral Reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Cautionary Note to United States Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources: The information contained herein has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. The Company reports information regarding mineral properties, mineralization and estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources in accordance with Canadian reporting requirements which are governed by, and utilize definitions required by,  Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") – CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the "CIM Standards"). These definitions differ from the definitions adopted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") which are applicable to U.S. companies. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources that the Company may report as "proven mineral reserves", "probable mineral reserves", "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the reserve or resource estimates under the standards adopted by the SEC. Accordingly, information contained herein that describes Wheaton's mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. United States investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in Wheaton's Form 40-F, a copy of which may be obtained from Wheaton or from https://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml.
