FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR FINANCIAL RESULTS

Wheaton Precious Metals Announces Record Annual Revenue, Earnings and

Cash Flow for 2025

“Wheaton’s portfolio of high-quality, long-life assets delivered another outstanding year in 2025, surpassing our production guidance and achieving record revenue, earnings, and operating cash flow,” said Randy Smallwood, Chief Executive Officer of Wheaton Precious Metals. “Strong contributions from cornerstone assets including Salobo, Antamina, and Peñasquito, alongside the continued ramp-up of Blackwater and Goose, demonstrate the strength of our diversified streaming model. As I prepare to transition to the role of Chair of the Board, I have truly never been more excited about Wheaton’s future and the portfolio’s ability to continue delivering long-term value.”

“These results reflect the consistent execution of our disciplined capital allocation strategy, focused on high-quality assets, well-structured agreements, strong counterparties, attractive margins, and long-term growth,” added Haytham Hodaly, President of Wheaton Precious Metals. “In 2025, we strengthened our portfolio with the Hemlo and Spring Valley gold streams and, following year-end, announced the largest precious metals streaming transaction ever at Antamina in partnership with BHP. As I prepare to step into the role of Chief Executive Officer, I am confident in the foundation we have built and excited to lead Wheaton into its next phase of growth, focused on disciplined execution and sustainable value creation for all stakeholders.”

Financial Review

Revenues

Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $865 million (59% gold, 39% silver, 1% palladium and 1% cobalt), with the $484 million increase relative to the prior period quarter being primarily due to a 69% increase in the average realized gold equivalent³ price; and a 35% increase in the number of GEOs³ sold.

Revenue was $2.3 billion (62% gold, 36% silver, 1% palladium and 1% cobalt) during the year ended December 31, 2025, with the $1.0 billion increase from 2024 due primarily to a 46% increase in the average realized gold equivalent³ price; and a 23% increase in the number of GEOs³ sold.

Cash Costs and Margin

Average cash costs¹ in the fourth quarter of 2025 were $597 per GEO³ as compared to $444 in the fourth quarter of 2024. This resulted in a cash operating margin¹ of $3,941 per GEO³ sold, an increase of 76% as compared with the fourth quarter of 2024, a result of the higher realized price per ounce. The higher margin reflects the leverage provided by fixed per-ounce production payments across the majority of Wheaton’s operating streams, which accounted for 80% of revenue during the quarter. Notably, year-over-year margin growth exceeded the appreciation in gold prices over the same period, underscoring the effectiveness of Wheaton’s business model in generating higher levered cash flow and margins in a rising precious metals price environment.

Average cash costs¹ in 2025 were $514 per GEO³ as compared to $438 in 2024. This resulted in a cash operating margin¹ of $3,040 per GEO³ sold, a 53% increase from 2024, a result of the higher realized price per ounce.

Cash Flow from Operations

Operating cash flow in the fourth quarter of 2025 amounted to $746 million, with the $427 million increase from the comparable period of the prior year being due primarily to higher gross margin.

Operating cash flows in 2025 amounted to $1.9 billion, with the $877 million increase from the comparable period of the previous year being due primarily to higher gross margin.

Produced But Not Yet Delivered

As at December 31, 2025, approximately 155,000 GEOs3 were produced but not yet delivered (“PBND”) representing approximately 2.5 months of payable production. This reduction in the number of months of PBND compared with the preceding four quarters places PBND levels at the mid-point of our guided range of two and a half to three and a half months and was driven by a significant increase in quarterly sales volumes during the fourth quarter.

Balance Sheet (at December 31, 2025)

   

Approximately $1.2 billion of cash on hand

   

During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company made total upfront cash payments of $646 million relative to the mineral stream interests consisting of:

  o

Hemlo: $300 million;

  o

Koné: $156 million;

  o

Spring Valley: $50 million

  o

Fenix: $50 million;

  o

El Domo: $44 million;

  o

Kurmuk: $44 million; and

  o

Kudz Ze Kayah: $2 million.

   

Subsequent to the quarter, the Company made additional upfront cash payments of $90 million relative to the Spring Valley PMPA ($50 million) and the Marmato PMPA ($40 million), partially offset by a repayment of $30 million relative to the Santo Domingo PMPA, with this amount to be re-advanced at a later date.

   

Subsequent to the quarter, the Company announced its financing plan for the additional silver stream on the Antamina mine, announced on February 16, 2026. The upfront payment of $4.3 billion is expected to be paid on or around April 1, 2026, and will be funded with cash on hand, a new $1.5 billion term loan credit facility and an approximately $0.9 billion draw on the Company’s existing undrawn $2 billion revolving credit facility (“RCF”). The details of this financing plan are provided below in the ‘Corporate Development’ section.

Fourth Quarter Operating Asset Highlights

Salobo: In the fourth quarter of 2025, Salobo produced 88,900 ounces of attributable gold, representing a quarterly record and an increase of approximately 5% relative to the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily the result of higher throughput and recoveries resulting from improved efficiencies at Salobo 1 and 2, partially offset by lower grades.

Antamina: In the fourth quarter of 2025, Antamina produced 1.6 million ounces of attributable silver, an increase of approximately 49% relative to the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher grades and recoveries.

Peñasquito: In the fourth quarter of 2025, Peñasquito produced 1.8 million ounces of attributable silver, a decrease of approximately 26% relative to the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily the result of lower grades with mining activities having transitioned back into the Peñasco pit which contains lower silver grades relative to the Chile Colorado pit, partially offset by higher recoveries.


- 5 -

 

On February 19, 2026, Newmont Corporation (“Newmont”) reported that silver production at Peñasquito is expected to increase in 2026, largely due to grades milled, including increased stockpile processing in 2026.

Constancia: In the fourth quarter of 2025, Constancia produced 0.7 million ounces of attributable silver and 15,400 ounces of attributable gold, a decrease of approximately 25% and 18%, respectively, relative to the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to lower gold and silver grades. On February 20, 2026, Hudbay Minerals Inc (“Hudbay”) announced that Constancia is expected to deliver at higher mill throughput rates starting in the second half of 2026 with the installation of pebble crushers. Hudbay reported that 2026 gold production is expected to be lower than 2025 production, reflecting depletion of the Pampacancha pit in 2025.

San Dimas: In the fourth quarter of 2025, San Dimas produced 8,200 ounces of attributable gold, an increase of approximately 13% relative to the fourth quarter of 2024, with higher throughput being partially offset by the change of the gold to silver conversion ratio from 70:1 to 90:1, effective for the period April 30, 2025 to October 28, 2025. On October 29, 2025, the gold to silver conversion ratio returned to 70:1.

Stillwater: In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Stillwater mines produced 1,500 ounces of attributable gold and 2,500 ounces of attributable palladium, a decrease of approximately 30% for gold and 10% for palladium relative to the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to lower grades and recoveries.

Blackwater: In the fourth quarter of 2025, Blackwater produced 0.1 million ounces of attributable silver and 5,500 ounces of attributable gold, with the mine achieving commercial production in May 2025. On December 15, 2025, Artemis Gold Inc. (“Artemis Gold”) announced that its board of directors approved an expanded Phase 2 development at the Blackwater mine. This Phase 2 development is a significant addition to the previously announced Phase 1A project, designed to increase nameplate capacity from 8 Mtpa to 21 Mtpa before the end of 2028.

On March 12, 2026, Artemis Gold reported an unplanned mill shutdown due to the failure of a ball mill gearbox, with the estimated time to complete repairs and restart mill operations between 8 to 10 days. Artemis Gold reports that plans are underway to make use of this interruption to carry out maintenance activities originally planned for Q2 2026. Artemis Gold notes that while mining related activities are continuing normally, production in Q1 2026 is expected to be lower than originally anticipated as a result of this mill outage.

Voisey’s Bay: In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Voisey’s Bay mine produced 670,000 pounds of attributable cobalt, an increase of approximately 70% relative to the fourth quarter of 2024 as the underground mine at Voisey’s Bay continues ramp-up to full production, with full ramp-up expected by the second half of 2026.

Other Gold: In the fourth quarter of 2025, total Other Gold attributable production was 3,400 ounces, an increase of approximately 441% relative to the fourth quarter of 2024 due to the initial reported production from the Goose mine, which achieved commercial production on October 6, 2025, and the addition of attributable production from the Hemlo mine. Notable operational updates for assets included within ‘Other Gold’ include:

   

Goose: On February 18, 2026, B2Gold reported that production at the Goose Mine in 2025 was impacted by crushing plant capacity constraints in the third quarter and

temporary delays in accessing higher-grade ore from the Umwelt underground in the third quarter and early fourth quarter. Initial near-term crushing circuit modifications, ordered in late 2025 and scheduled for implementation in the second half of 2026, are expected to increase average throughput to approximately 3,200 tonnes per day and eliminate the need for full-time use of the mobile crusher, while studies are underway to evaluate further enhancements to increase capacity to approximately 4,000 tonnes per day, with decisions on scope and timing expected in the first half of 2026. B2Gold states that production in 2026 is expected to be weighted to the second half of 2026, with approximately 65% of estimated annual gold production to be achieved during the third and fourth quarters.

   

Marmato: On March 11, 2026, Aris Mining Corporation (“Aris”) reported that development of the new underground decline to the Bulk Mining Zone at the Marmato mine is approximately 60% complete and is scheduled for completion in Q3 2026, ahead of the commissioning of the carbon in pulp plant, which is expected in Q4 2026.

   

Hemlo: On November 26, 2025, the Company entered into a PMPA (the “Hemlo PMPA”) with Hemlo in respect of gold production from the currently operating Hemlo mine located in Ontario, Canada. On January 29, 2026 Hemlo announced that they had initiated a 130,000 meter exploration drilling program aimed at extending the mine life, de-risking the near-term mine plan and identifying near-mine growth opportunities.

Other Silver: In the fourth quarter of 2025, total Other Silver attributable production was 1.8 million ounces, an increase of approximately 30% relative to the fourth quarter of 2024. Notable operational updates for assets included within ‘Other Silver’ include:

   

Aljustrel: In the third quarter of 2025, Almina resumed production of the zinc and lead concentrates at the Aljustrel mine, resulting in the resumption of attributable silver production to the Company.

Detailed mine-by-mine production and sales figures can be found in the Appendix to this press release and in Wheaton’s consolidated MD&A in the ‘Results of Operations and Operational Review’ section.

Recent Development Asset Updates

Mineral Park: During the quarter, Waterton Copper LP continued ore commissioning of the newly refurbished concentrator at its Mineral Park project. The ramp-up efforts in Q4 2025 were focused on mill alignment to handle increasing throughput and gradually increasing both operating uptime and overall site throughput. First concentrate sales occurred in Q4 2025 and first silver delivery to Wheaton occurred in January 2026. Ramp-up to commercial production is expected to continue in Q1 2026, with increasing concentrate production throughout the first quarter. At steady state throughput, the fully refurbished mill capacity will be 16.5 Mtpa.

Platreef: On January 12, 2026, Ivanhoe announced that following the official opening and first production of concentrate from the Platreef mine on November 18, 2025, the development of the mine continues to rapidly advance. During the initial ramp-up period, lower-grade development ore is being processed, with a transition to production ore expected once Shaft #3 is ready to hoist in early Q2 2026, at which time the concentrator is expected to achieve approximately 80 percent of nameplate capacity by mid-year.

Fenix: On January 26, 2026, Rio2 Limited (“Rio2”) announced the first official gold pour at the Fenix Gold Mine, where construction of critical path items were completed on time and on budget, as previously guided.

Rio2 stated that the focus now is to ramp up operations to 20,000 tonnes per day of ore.

Kurmuk: On February 18, 2026, Allied Gold Corporation (“Allied”) reported that the Kurmuk project was progressing in line with plan, with advancement at the processing plant and crushing circuit, mining activities supporting ore stockpiling, and power line construction advancing toward completion ahead of commissioning. A review of processing capacity was completed in Q4 2025, and the project is now being executed to accommodate average throughput of up to 6.4 Mtpa (from 6.0 Mtpa), with pre-commissioning expected in 2026.

On January 26, 2026, Allied announced it has entered into a definitive agreement with Zijin Gold International Company Limited (“Zijin Gold”), where Zijin Gold will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Allied in cash. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the parties of all necessary closing conditions and the receipt of all required approvals, the completion of the transaction is anticipated in late April 20269.

Koné: On January 19, 2026, Montage announced that rapid construction progress continues to be made at its Koné project, where first gold pour through the oxide circuit is anticipated in late Q4 2026, while the hard-rock comminution circuit remains well on track for completion in Q2 2027. Since commencement of the project, key milestones achieved include the erection of all 14 carbon-in-leach tanks, piperack and grid mesh walkways, completion of the oxide sizer and the delivery of the ball mill to site.

El Domo: On February 4, 2026, Silvercorp reported that during 2025, construction activities at its El Domo project advanced across site preparation, infrastructure, and water management works, with approximately $44.5 million spent (about 16% of their revised budget), including completion of archaeological clearance, significant earthworks and road construction, camp commissioning, and placement of orders for long-lead time major equipment.

Copper World: On January 12, 2026, Hudbay announced the closing of the joint venture transaction with Mitsubishi Corporation, securing a premier, long-term strategic partner for the development of Copper World. Hudbay notes that they intend to complete the definitive feasibility study at Copper World in mid-2026 with final sanctioning decision expected in 2026.

Santo Domingo: On February 17, 2026, Capstone reported that they plan to progress the financing strategy, detailed engineering and infrastructure optimization opportunities at its Santo Domingo project towards a sanctioning decision expected in the second half of 2026.

Corporate Development

Spring Valley: On November 6, 2025, the Company entered into a PMPA (the “Spring Valley PMPA”) with Waterton Gold Corp., a subsidiary of Waterton Gold LP, in respect of gold production from the Spring Valley project located in Nevada, USA (“Spring Valley”). Under the terms of the Spring Valley PMPA, the Company is committed to pay Waterton Gold total upfront cash consideration of $670 million in installments as various conditions are satisfied, with the initial payment being paid on December 11, 2025. The Company has also provided a cost overrun facility of up to $150 million, accessible during an availability period commencing once the full upfront consideration has been paid under the Spring Valley PMPA.


- 8 -

 

Hemlo: On November 26, 2025, the Company entered into a PMPA with Hemlo in respect of gold production from the currently operating Hemlo mine located in Ontario, Canada. Under the terms of the Hemlo PMPA, which will deliver immediate production and cash flow to the Company, the Company paid Hemlo total upfront cash consideration of $300 million.

As part of its financing commitment, on October 7, 2025 the Company invested $30 million (Cdn$42 million) in Hemlo’s equity offering.

Antamina: On February 16, 2026, the Company announced it had entered into a definitive PMPA with BHP (the “BHP Antamina PMPA”) for their 33.75% portion of the silver produced at the Antamina Mine located in Peru. Upon closing, Wheaton will receive a combined 67.5% of all the silver produced from Antamina, up from the 33.75% currently delivered under the existing Glencore Antamina silver stream.

Under the terms of the BHP Antamina PMPA, the Company will pay BHP total upfront cash consideration of $4.3 billion on closing, subject to certain customary conditions. Additionally, the Company will make ongoing payments for the silver ounces delivered equal to 20% of the spot price of silver. The BHP Antamina PMPA is effective April 1, 2026, from which time the Company will purchase BHP’s 33.75% of the payable silver until a total of 100 million ounces has been delivered, at which point the Company will purchase 22.5% of the payable silver for the life of mine. Payable silver will be calculated using a fixed payable factor of 90.0%.

The upfront payment of $4.3 billion will be funded through a combination of existing liquidity and new financing. Funding sources include estimated cash on hand at closing of approximately $1.9 billion, including the $1.2 billion cash on hand at December 31, 2025 in addition to $323 million realized on the disposal of Long-Term Equity Investments. The remaining balance will be funded through an approximate $0.9 billion draw on the Company’s Revolving Facility, in addition to a new $1.5 billion non-revolving term loan credit facility (“Term Loan”) which carries a two-year maturity and aligns with the terms of the Company’s existing Revolving Facility.

The Term Loan and the RCF provide flexible, non-dilutive financing that may be repaid at any time without penalty. The remaining liquidity available from the RCF, in addition to continued strong cash flows, provides healthy balance sheet capacity. Net debt at closing of the BHP Antamina PMPA acquisition is currently expected to be approximately $2.4 billion, assuming estimated approximate incremental cash flows. With the liquidity provided by the remaining available credit under the $2 billion Revolving Facility coupled with the $500 million accordion and ongoing operating cash flows, the Company remains well positioned to fund all outstanding commitments, as well as providing flexibility to acquire additional accretive mineral stream interests.

Reserves and Resources (at December 31, 2025)

Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves attributable to Wheaton were 15.1 million ounces of gold compared with 15.4 million ounces as reported in Wheaton’s 2024 Annual Information Form (“AIF”), a decrease of 2%; 556.1 million ounces of silver compared with 469.2 million ounces, an increase of 19%; 0.83 million ounces palladium, unchanged; 0.52 million ounces of platinum, unchanged; and 27.8 million pounds of cobalt compared to 30.6 million pounds, a decrease of 6%.

Subsequent Events

Chief Executive Officer Transition

On February 5, 2026, Wheaton announced that as part of the Company’s strategic succession planning, Haytham Hodaly, currently President, will succeed Randy Smallwood as Wheaton’s Chief Executive Officer, effective March 31, 2026, reflecting an ongoing leadership evolution to support the next phase in the Company’s growth trajectory.

Declaration of Dividend

The Company has increased its quarterly dividend under its dividend policy, setting it at $0.195 per common share for 2026. This represents an 18% increase over the quarterly dividend paid in 2025 and represents the third consecutive year that the dividend has been increased, highlighting the Company’s commitment to a progressive dividend. The declaration, timing, amount and payment of future dividends remain at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

2026 Production Outlook

For 2026, Wheaton provides annual production guidance of 860,000 to 940,000 GEOs8. This expected year-over-year growth is driven primarily by the additional stream at Antamina which is expected to add another 70,000 GEOs8 to the portfolio in 2026 and begin generating production on April 1, 2026. Further contributions from newly operating assets, including Blackwater, Mineral Park, Fenix, Hemlo, Goose and Platreef are also forecast to support this growth. These increases are expected to be partially offset by lower production from Constancia following the depletion of the Pampacancha pit in late December 2025.

At the Company’s cornerstone assets, after achieving record production levels in 2025, attributable production levels at Salobo are forecast to decrease slightly, with higher throughput levels anticipated to be offset by modestly lower gold grades. Attributable production is forecast to increase significantly at Antamina in 2026 due to the additional stream, with the Company receiving a combined 67.5% of silver production commencing April 1, 2026, up from the 33.75% delivered in 2025 under the existing stream. Lastly, attributable production from Penasquito is forecast to increase from 2025, driven by stronger silver grades, including contributions from stockpile material as mining progresses through planned sequencing.

Long-Term Production Outlook

Production is forecast to increase by approximately 50% to 1,200,000 GEOs8 by 2030, due to growth from multiple Operating assets including Antamina, Blackwater, Aljustrel, Marmato, Hemlo and Goose; Development assets that are in construction and/or various stages of ramp-up, including the Koné, Fenix, Kurmuk, Platreef, Mineral Park and El Domo projects; and Pre-development assets including the Spring Valley, Copper World and Santo Domingo projects, all of which have received their major permits.

From 2031 to 2035, attributable production is forecast to be maintained at 1,200,000 GEOs8 annually and incorporates additional incremental production from Pre-development assets including the Cangrejos, Kudz ze Kayah and Marathon projects, in addition to the Mt.

1)

All figures in thousands except gold and palladium ounces produced.

2)

Quantity produced represents 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, Stobie and Totten gold interests.

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. From April 30, 2025 to October 28, 2025, the fixed gold to silver exchange ratio was revised to 90:1. Effective October 29, 2025, the fixed gold to silver exchange ratio was returned to 70:1. For reference, attributable silver production from prior periods is as follows: Q4 2025 - 329,000 ounces; Q3 2025 - 364,000 ounces; Q2 2025 - 311,000 ounces; Q1 2025 - 340,000 ounces; Q4 2024 - 295,000 ounces; Q3 2024 - 262,000 ounces; Q2 2024 - 285,000 ounces; Q1 2024 - 291,000 ounces.

Non-GAAP Measures

Wheaton has included, throughout this document, certain non-GAAP performance measures, including (i) adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share; (ii) operating cash flow per share (basic and diluted); (iii) average cash costs of gold, silver and palladium on a per ounce basis and cobalt on a per pound basis; and (iv) cash operating margin.

 

  i.

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 Accounting Standards, management and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance.

The following table provides a reconciliation of adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share (basic and diluted).

  iii.

Average cash cost of gold, silver and palladium on a per ounce basis and cobalt on a per pound basis is calculated by dividing the total cost of sales, less depletion and cost of sales related to delay ounces, by the ounces or pounds sold. In the precious metal mining industry, this is a common performance measure but does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards. In addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, management and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance and ability to generate cash flow.

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.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2025 ANNUAL REPORT- MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [2]


Overview

Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. is a precious metal streaming company which generates its revenue primarily from the sale of precious metals (gold, silver and palladium) and cobalt. The Company is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and the London Stock Exchange (“LSE”) and trades under the symbol WPM.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has entered into 42 long-term agreements¹ (34 of which are precious metal purchase agreements, or “PMPAs”, three of which are early deposit PMPAs, and five of which are royalty agreements), with 34 different mining companies, related to precious metals and cobalt relating to 23 mining assets which are currently operating, 23 of which are at various stages of development and 2 which have been placed into care and maintenance or have been closed, located in 18 countries. Pursuant to the PMPAs, Wheaton acquires metal production from the counterparties for an initial upfront payment plus an additional cash payment for each ounce or pound delivered which is fixed by contract, generally at or below the prevailing market price. Attributable metal production as referred to in this MD&A is the metal production to which Wheaton is entitled pursuant to the various PMPAs. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the per ounce price paid by the Company for the metals acquired under the agreements averaged $479 for gold, $6.58 for silver, $195 for palladium and $3.57 per pound for cobalt. The primary drivers of the Company’s financial results are the volume of metal production at the various mining assets to which the PMPAs relate and the price realized by Wheaton upon the sale of the metals received. Throughout this MD&A, the production and sales volume of gold, silver and palladium are reported in ounces, while cobalt is reported in pounds.

 

 

 

Minto has been removed from the mine count due to Minto Metals Corp. being placed in receivership.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2025 ANNUAL REPORT- MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [4]


Highlights

Operations

 

   

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, relative to the comparable period of the prior year:

 

  o

Production amounted to 205,000 gold equivalent ounces (“GEOs”), an increase of 8%, with increased production from Antamina and Salobo, the recommencement of production at Aljustrel and the commencement of production at Blackwater being partially offset by lower production at Constancia and Peñasquito.

 

  o

Sales volumes amounted to 190,500 GEOs, an increase of 35%, primarily the result of relative changes to GEOs produced but not delivered (“PBND”), combined with the higher production. PBND GEOs decreased 1,000 GEOs during the quarter, compared to an increase of 31,900 GEOs in the same period of the prior year.

 

  o

Revenue increased 127% or $484 million to $865 million (59% gold, 39% silver, 1% palladium and 1% cobalt), representing a record for the Company, with the increase being primarily due to a 69% increase in realized commodity prices coupled with the higher sales volumes.

 

  o

Gross margin amounted to $664 million (77% of revenue), representing a record for the Company and an increase of $416 million (a 12% increase as a percentage of revenue). The higher margin as a percentage of revenue reflects the leverage provided by fixed per-ounce production payments, which accounted for 80% of revenue during the quarter.

 

  o

Net earnings amounted to $558 million, an increase of $470 million, primarily due to the increased gross margin and the absence of the $109 million impairment charge recognized in 2024 on the Voisey’s Bay PMPA, which resulted from a significant and sustained decline in cobalt prices.

 

  o

Adjusted net earnings increased 179% or $356 million to $555 million, representing a record for the Company.

 

  o

Operating cash flow amounted to $746 million, representing a record for the Company, with the $427 million increase being the result of the higher gross margin.

 

   

For the year ended December 31, 2025 relative to the prior year:

 

  o

Production amounted to 689,900 GEOs, an increase of 9%, with increased production from Salobo and Antamina, the recommencement of production at Aljustrel and the commencement of production at Blackwater being partially offset by lower production at Constancia and Peñasquito.

 

  o

Sales volumes amounted to 651,300 GEOs, an increase of 23% resulting from higher production and relative changes in the number of GEOs PBND, with PBND decreasing by 15,000 GEOs, compared to a 49,800 GEO increase during the comparable period of the prior year.

 

  o

Revenue increased 80% or $1.0 billion to $2.3 billion (62% gold, 36% silver, 1% palladium and 1% cobalt), representing a record for the Company, with the increase being primarily due to a 46% increase in realized commodity prices coupled with the 23% increase in sales volumes.

 

  o

Gross margin amounted to $1.7 billion (72% of revenue), representing an increase of $869 million (a 10% increase as a percentage of revenue).

 

  o

Net earnings amounted to $1.5 billion, an increase of $943 million, primarily due to the higher gross margin, the gain from the exercise of the 33% buy-back option under the Cangrejos PMPA and the absence of the $109 million impairment charge recognized in 2024 on the Voisey’s Bay PMPA, partially offset by higher income taxes driven by higher income.

 

  o

Adjusted net earnings increased 114% or $733 million to $1.4 billion, representing a record for the Company.

 

  o

Operating cash flow amounted to $1.9 billion, representing a record for the Company, with the $877 million increase being due primarily to the higher gross margin.

 

   

For the third consecutive year, the Company has increased its quarterly dividend. For 2026, the Board of Directors has set the quarterly dividend to $0.195 per common share, which represents an 18% increase, or $0.03 per common share.

2026 Production Outlook

The Company anticipates that 2026 GEO2 production will increase by over 11% from levels achieved in 2025. This expected year-over-year growth is driven primarily by the additional stream at Antamina which is expected to add another 70,000 GEOs2 to the portfolio in 2026 and begin generating production on April 1, 2026. Further contributions from newly operating assets, including Blackwater, Mineral Park, Fenix, Hemlo, Goose and Platreef are also forecast to support this growth. These increases are expected to be partially offset by lower production from Constancia following the depletion of the Pampacancha pit in late December 2025.

At the Company’s cornerstone assets, after achieving record production levels in 2025, attributable production levels at Salobo are forecast to decrease slightly, with higher throughput levels anticipated to be offset by modestly lower gold grades. Attributable production is forecast to increase significantly at Antamina in 2026 due to the additional stream, with the Company receiving a combined 67.5% of silver production commencing April 1, 2026, up from the 33.75% delivered in 2025 under the existing stream. Lastly, attributable production from Peñasquito is forecast to increase from 2025, driven by stronger silver grades, including contributions from stockpile material as mining progresses through planned sequencing.

Long-Term Production Outlook

Production is forecast to increase by approximately 50% to 1,200,000 GEOs2 by 2030, due to growth from multiple Operating assets including Antamina, Blackwater, Aljustrel, Marmato, Hemlo and Goose; Development assets that are in construction and/or various stages of ramp-up, including the Koné, Fenix, Kurmuk, Platreef, Mineral Park and El Domo projects; and Pre-development assets including the Spring Valley, Copper World and Santo Domingo projects, all of which have received their major permits.

From 2031 to 2035, attributable production is forecast to be maintained at 1,200,000 GEOs2 annually and incorporates additional incremental production from Pre-development assets including the Cangrejos, Kudz Ze Kayah and Marathon projects, in addition to the Mt. Todd and Black Pine royalties.

Not included in Wheaton’s long-term forecast and instead classified as ‘optionality’, is potential future production from 11 other assets including El Alto3, Navidad and Toroparu.

 

 

Statements made in this section contain forward-looking information with respect to forecast production, funding outstanding commitments and continuing to acquire accretive mineral stream interests and readers are cautioned that actual outcomes may vary. Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for material risks, assumptions and important disclosures associated with this information.

Ounces produced represent the quantity of silver, gold, palladium, platinum and cobalt contained in concentrate or doré prior to smelting or refining deductions. Gold equivalent forecast production for 2026 and the longer-term outlook are based on the following updated commodity price assumptions: $4,800 per ounce gold, $80 per ounce silver, $1,500 per ounce palladium, $2,000 per ounce of platinum and $25 per pound cobalt. For purposes of comparison, 2025 actual production numbers have been adjusted to reflect 2026 commodity price assumptions.

El Alto was formerly known as Pascua-Lama.

Please refer to the section entitled “Contractual Obligations and Contingencies – Mineral Stream Interests” on page 36 of this MD&A for more information.

3)

All figures in thousands except gold and palladium ounces and per ounce amounts. The total upfront consideration paid to date excludes closing costs and capitalized interest, where applicable. Please refer to the section entitled “Other Contractual Obligations and Contingencies” on page 38 of this MD&A for details of when the remaining upfront consideration is forecasted to be paid. Certain contracts, including Santo Domingo and El Domo, contain delay ounce provisions whereby should construction of the mine not be completed by an agreed to date, the mine operator must compensate the Company for the delay until certain conditions are satisfied by delivering additional ounces. The value of these ounces on the date first due, net of amounts owed to the mine operator, is treated as a reduction to the upfront consideration paid. Sale of the resulting ounces received is treated as revenue, with the associated cost of sales being equal to the fair value of the ounces on the date received.

4)

Payable gold, silver, palladium and cobalt PBND are based on management estimates. These figures may be updated in the future as additional information is received. Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for material risks, assumptions and important disclosures associated with this information.

5)

Comprised of the operating Coleman, Copper Cliff, Garson, Creighton, Stobie and Totten gold interests as well as the non-operating Victor gold interest. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has received approximately $373 million of operating cash flows from the Sudbury stream. Should the market value of gold delivered to Wheaton through the 20-year term of the contract, net of the per ounce cash payment, be lower than the initial $670 million refundable deposit, the Company will be entitled to a refund of the difference at the conclusion of the term. The term of the Sudbury PMPA ends on May 11, 2033.

6)

The original San Dimas SPA, entered into on October 15, 2004, was terminated on May 10, 2018 and concurrently the Company entered into the new San Dimas PMPA. 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. During the period of April 30, 2025 to October 28, 2025, the fixed gold to silver exchange ratio was revised from 70:1 to 90:1. The current gold to silver price ratio is 70:1.

7)

Comprised of the Stillwater and East Boulder gold and palladium interests.

8)

Once the Company has received 464,000 ounces of gold under the amended Blackwater Gold PMPA, the attributable gold production will be reduced to 4%. Once the Company has received 17.8 million ounces of silver under the Blackwater Silver PMPA, the attributable silver production will be reduced to 33%.

9)

Once the Company has received 218,750 ounces of gold under the Platreef Gold PMPA, the attributable gold production will reduce to 50% until 428,300 ounces have been delivered, after which the stream drops to 3.125%. Under the Platreef Palladium and Platinum PMPA, once the Company has received 350,000 ounces of combined palladium and platinum, the attributable palladium and platinum production will reduce to 3% until 485,115 ounces have been delivered, after which the stream drops to 0.1% of the payable palladium and platinum production. If certain thresholds are met, including if production through the Platreef project concentrator achieves 5.5 million tonnes per annum (“Mtpa”), the 3.125% residual gold stream and the 0.1% residual palladium and platinum stream will terminate. Under the Platreef Gold PMPA, a subsidiary of Royal Gold Inc. (formerly Sandstorm Gold Ltd./Nomad Royalty Ltd.) (“Royal Gold”) is entitled to purchase 37.5% of payable gold. The decrease in the percentage of payable metal that Wheaton will be entitled to purchase is conditional on delivery of the total amount of payable gold to all purchasers (Wheaton and Royal Gold combined). The values set out herein pertain only to Wheaton’s share of the payable gold.

10)

Once the Company has received 310,000 ounces of gold and 2.15 million ounces of silver under the Marmato PMPA, the attributable gold and silver production will be reduced to 5.25% and 50%, respectively.

11)

Once the Company has received 285,000 ounces of gold under the Santo Domingo PMPA, the Company’s attributable gold production will be reduced to 67%. The units sold under Santo Domingo relate to ounces received due to the delay ounce provision (see footnote 3, above).

12)

On October 21, 2024, the Company amended the Fenix PMPA. Under the original agreement, the Company was to acquire an amount of gold equal to 6% of the gold production until 90,000 ounces have been delivered, 4% of the gold production until the delivery of a further 140,000 ounces and 3.5% gold production thereafter for the life of mine. Under the revised agreement, the Company is entitled to purchase an additional 16% of payable gold production (22% in total) (subject to adjustment if there are delays in deliveries relative to an agreed schedule). Once Rio2 delivers the incremental 95,000 ounces (as adjusted), the stream reverts to the percentages and thresholds under the original Fenix PMPA (as described). Rio2 has a one-time option to terminate the requirement to deliver the incremental gold production from the end of 2027 until the end of 2029 by delivering 95,000 ounces (as adjusted) less previously delivered gold ounces, excluding those gold ounces which would have been delivered under the original Fenix PMPA.

13)

Once the Company has received 145,000 ounces of gold under the El Domo PMPA, the attributable gold production will be reduced to 33%, and once the Company has received 4.6 million ounces of silver, the attributable silver production will be reduced to 50%. The units sold under El Domo relate to ounces received due to the delay ounce provision (see footnote 3, above).

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2025 ANNUAL REPORT- MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [9]


in Nevada, USA (“Spring Valley project”). Under the terms of the Spring Valley PMPA, the Company is committed to pay Waterton Gold total upfront cash consideration of $670 million in installments as various conditions are satisfied, with the initial payment being paid on December 11, 2025. The Company has also provided a cost overrun facility (the “Spring Valley Facility”) of up to $150 million, accessible during an availability period commencing once the full upfront consideration has been paid under the Spring Valley PMPA. The Spring Valley Facility has a maturity date of three years following the first drawdown under the Spring Valley Facility.

Hemlo

On November 26, 2025, the Company entered into a PMPA (the “Hemlo PMPA”) with Hemlo in respect of gold production from the currently operating Hemlo mine located in Ontario, Canada. Under the terms of the Hemlo PMPA, which will deliver immediate production and cash flow to the Company, the Company paid Hemlo total upfront cash consideration of $300 million.

As part of its financing commitment, on October 7, 2025 the Company invested $30 million (Cdn$42 million) in Hemlo’s equity offering.

Antamina

On February 16, 2026, the Company announced it had entered into a definitive PMPA with BHP (the “BHP Antamina PMPA”) for their 33.75% portion of the silver produced at the Antamina Mine located in Peru. Upon closing, Wheaton will receive a combined 67.5% of all the silver produced from Antamina, up from the 33.75% currently delivered under the existing Glencore silver stream.

Under the terms of the BHP Antamina PMPA, the Company will pay BHP total upfront cash consideration of $4.3 billion on closing, subject to certain customary conditions. Additionally, the Company will make ongoing payments for the silver ounces delivered equal to 20% of the spot price of silver. The BHP Antamina PMPA is effective April 1, 2026, from which time the Company will purchase BHP’s 33.75% of the payable silver until a total of 100 million ounces has been delivered, at which point the Company will purchase 22.5% of the payable silver for the life of mine. Payable silver will be calculated using a fixed payable factor of 90.0%.

Updates on the Operating Mineral Stream Interests

Peñasquito

On February 19, 2026, Newmont Corporation (“Newmont”) reported that silver production at Peñasquito is expected to increase in 2026, largely due to grades milled, including increased stockpile processing in 2026.

Constancia

On February 20, 2026, Hudbay announced that Constancia is expected to deliver at higher mill throughput rates starting in the second half of 2026 with the installation of pebble crushers. 2026 gold production is expected to be lower than 2025 production, reflecting the depletion of Pampacancha, a satellite open pit deposit that has been a source of higher grade gold ore, in 2025.

Blackwater

On December 15, 2025, Artemis Gold announced that its board of directors approved an expanded Phase 2 development at the Blackwater mine. This Phase 2 development is a significant addition to the previously announced Phase 1A project, designed to increase nameplate capacity from 8 Mtpa to 21 Mtpa before the end of 2028.

On March 12, 2026, Artemis Gold reported an unplanned mill shutdown due to the failure of a ball mill gearbox, with the estimated time to complete repairs and restart mill operations between 8 to 10 days. Artemis Gold reports that plans are underway to make use of this interruption to carry out maintenance activities originally planned for Q2 2026. Artemis Gold notes that while mining related activities are continuing normally, production in Q1 2026 is expected to be lower than originally anticipated as a result of this mill outage.

Goose

On October 6, 2025, B2Gold announced that the Goose mine achieved commercial production on October 2, 2025. On February 18, 2026, B2Gold reported that production at the Goose mine in 2025 was impacted by crushing plant capacity constraints in the third quarter and temporary delays in accessing higher-grade ore from the Umwelt underground in the third quarter and early fourth quarter. Initial near-term crushing circuit modifications, ordered in late 2025 and scheduled for implementation in the second half of 2026, are expected to increase average throughput to approximately 3,200 tonnes per day and eliminate the need for full-time use of the mobile crusher, while studies are underway to evaluate further enhancements to increase capacity to approximately 4,000 tonnes per day, with decisions on scope and timing expected in the first half of 2026. B2Gold also states that production in 2026 is expected to be weighted to the second half of 2026, with approximately 65% of estimated annual gold production to be achieved during the third and fourth quarters.

Marmato

On March 11, 2026, Aris reported that development of the new underground decline to the Bulk Mining Zone at the Marmato mine is approximately 60% complete and is scheduled for completion in Q3 2026, ahead of the commissioning of the carbon in pulp plant, which is expected in Q4 2026.

Hemlo

On January 29, 2026 Hemlo announced that they had initiated a 130,000 meter exploration drilling program aimed at extending the mine life, de-risking the near-term mine plan and identifying near-mine growth opportunities.

Updates on the Development Stage Mineral Stream Interests

Mineral Park

During the quarter, Waterton Copper continued ore commissioning of the newly refurbished concentrator at its Mineral Park project. The ramp-up efforts in Q4 2025 were focused on mill alignment to handle increasing throughput and gradually increasing both operating uptime and overall site throughput. First concentrate sales occurred in Q4 2025 and first silver delivery to Wheaton occurred in January 2026. Ramp-up to commercial production is expected to continue in Q1 2026, with increasing concentrate production throughout the first quarter. At steady state throughput, the fully refurbished mill capacity will be 16.5 Mtpa.

Platreef

On January 12, 2026, Ivanhoe announced that following the official opening and first production of concentrate from the Platreef mine on November 18, 2025, the development of the mine continues to rapidly advance. During the initial ramp-up period, lower-grade development ore is being processed, with a transition to production ore expected once Shaft #3 is ready to hoist in early Q2 2026, with the concentrator expected to achieve approximately 80 percent of nameplate capacity by mid-year.

Fenix

On January 26, 2026, Rio2 announced the first official gold pour at the Fenix Gold Mine, where construction of critical path items were completed on time and on budget, as previously guided. Rio2 states that the focus now is to ramp up operations to 20,000 tonnes per day of ore.

Kurmuk

On February 18, 2026, Allied reported that the Kurmuk project was progressing in line with plan, with advancement at the processing plant and crushing circuit, mining activities supporting ore stockpiling, and power line construction advancing toward completion ahead of commissioning. A review of processing capacity was completed in Q4 2025, and the project is now being executed to accommodate average throughput of up to 6.4 Mtpa (from 6.0 Mtpa), with pre-commissioning expected in 2026.

On January 26, 2026, Allied announced it has entered into a definitive agreement with Zijin Gold International Company Limited (“Zijin Gold”), where Zijin Gold will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Allied in cash. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the parties of all necessary closing conditions and the receipt of all required approvals, the completion of the transaction is anticipated in late April 20261.

Koné

On January 19, 2026, Montage announced that rapid construction progress continues to be made at the Koné project, where first gold pour through the oxide circuit is anticipated in late Q4 2026, while the hard-rock comminution circuit remains on track for completion in Q2 2027. Since commencement of the project, key milestones achieved include the erection of all 14 carbon-in-leach tanks, piperack and grid mesh walkways, completion of the oxide sizer and the delivery of the ball mill to site.

El Domo

On February 4, 2026, Silvercorp Metals Inc. (“Silvercorp”) reported that during 2025, construction activities at its El Domo project advanced across site preparation, infrastructure, and water management works, with approximately $44.5 million spent (about 16% of their revised budget), including completion of archaeological clearance, significant earthworks and road construction, camp commissioning, and placement of orders for long-lead time major equipment. Silvercorp reports that the El Domo Project is now scheduled to be in production in 2027.

Copper World

On January 12, 2026, Hudbay announced the closing of the joint venture transaction with Mitsubishi Corporation, securing a premier, long-term strategic partner for the development of Copper World. Hudbay notes that they intend

Long-Term Equity Investments

The Company will, from time to time, invest in securities of companies for strategic purposes including, but not limited to, exploration and mining companies. The Company held the following investments as at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

 

(in thousands)     December 31
2025
        December 31

Common shares held

   $ 407,230       $ 98,190  

Warrants held

     3,265        785  

Total long-term equity investments

   $ 410,495       $ 98,975  

The Company’s long-term investments in common shares (“LTIs”) are held for long-term strategic purposes and not for trading purposes. As such, the Company has elected to reflect any fair value adjustments, net of tax, as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to net earnings on disposal of these LTIs but is reclassified to retained earnings.

While long-term investments in warrants are also held for long-term strategic purposes, they meet the definition of a derivative and therefore are classified as financial assets with fair value adjustments being recorded as a component of net earnings under the classification Other Income (Expense). Warrants that do not have a quoted market price are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

By holding these long-term investments, the Company is inherently exposed to various risk factors including currency risk, market price risk and liquidity risk.

A summary of the fair value of these equity investments and the fair value changes recognized as a component of the Company’s OCI during the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 is presented below. Please see the Liquidity and Capital Resources on page 31 of this MD&A for more information.

1)

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, Stobie and Totten gold interests.

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. From April 30, 2025 to October 28, 2025, the fixed gold to silver exchange ratio was revised to 90:1. Effective October 29, 2025, the fixed gold to silver exchange ratio was returned to 70:1. For reference, attributable silver production from prior periods is as follows: Q4 2025 - 329,000 ounces; Q3 2025 - 364,000 ounces; Q2 2025 - 311,000 ounces; Q1 2025 - 340,000 ounces; Q4 2024 - 295,000 ounces; Q3 2024 - 262,000 ounces; Q2 2024 - 285,000 ounces; Q1 2024 - 291,000 ounces.

5)

Comprised of the Stillwater and East Boulder gold and palladium interests. On September 12, 2024, Sibanye Stillwater (“Sibanye”) announced that as a result of low palladium prices it was placing the Stillwater West operations into care and maintenance, while using Stillwater East and East Boulder operations to improve efficiencies that could get Stillwater West back to production as prices permit.

6)

On April 1, 2025, Equinox Gold Corp., (“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.

7)

On September 12, 2023, it was announced that the production of the zinc and lead concentrates at the Aljustrel mine will be halted from September 24, 2023 until the third quarter of 2025.

8)

GEOs, which are provided to assist the reader, are based on the following commodity price assumptions: $2,600 per ounce gold; $30.00 per ounce silver; $950 per ounce palladium; and $13.50 per pound cobalt; consistent with those used in estimating the Company’s production guidance for 2025.

Revenue by Commodity

Revenue was $2.3 billion (62% gold, 36% silver, 1% palladium and 1% cobalt) during the year ended December 31, 2025, with the $1.0 billion increase from the comparable period of the previous year due primarily to a 46% increase in the average realized price per GEO sold; and a 23% increase in the number of GEOs sold.

The following two tables present (i) a summary of the key factors driving changes in revenue, specifically the number of GEOs sold and the average realized price per GEO for the years 2023 through 2025; and (ii) the commodity mix for 2025 and 2024.

Cash Operating Margin 1

From 2023 to 2025, average cash costs¹ rose 13%, increasing from $453 per GEO in 2023 to $514 per GEO in 2025. Over the same period, cash operating margin¹ expanded by 94%, climbing from $1,566 per GEO to $3,040 per GEO. This substantial margin growth reflects the strong leverage inherent in Wheaton’s streaming model, where fixed per-ounce production payments across most operating streams—representing 83% of 2025 revenue—amplify profitability in a rising price environment. Notably, year-over-year margin growth outpaced the 76% increase in GEO prices, underscoring the effectiveness of Wheaton’s business model in generating enhanced cash flow and margins as precious metal prices strengthen.

2)

GEOs, which are provided to assist the reader, are based on the following commodity price assumptions: $2,600 per ounce gold; $30.00 per ounce silver; $950 per ounce palladium; and $13.50 per pound cobalt; consistent with those used in estimating the Company’s production guidance for 2025.

GEO Production

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, attributable GEO production was 205,000 ounces, with the 15,900 ounce increase from the comparable period in 2024 being primarily attributable to the following factors:

 

   

7,400 ounce or 45% increase from the Other mines (comprised of 2,700 gold ounces and 406,000 silver ounces), primarily due to the resumption of mining at Aljustrel, coupled with the commencement of production at Goose and the acquisition of the Hemlo PMPA;

 

   

7,200 ounce increase from Blackwater (comprised of 5,500 gold ounces and 148,000 silver ounces), with the mine achieving commercial production in May 2025;

 

   

6,100 ounce or 49% increase from Antamina (529,000 silver ounces), primarily due to higher grades and recoveries;

 

   

4,600 ounce or 5% increase from Salobo primarily the result of higher throughput and recoveries resulting from improved efficiencies at Salobo 1 and 2, partially offset by lower grades;

 

   

2,500 ounce or 48% increase from Sudbury, primarily due to higher recoveries;

 

   

1,400 ounce or 70% increase from Voisey’s Bay (277,000 cobalt pounds) as the underground mine at Voisey’s Bay continues ramp-up to full production, with full ramp-up expected by the second half of 2026; and

 

   

900 ounce or 13% increase from San Dimas, with higher throughput being partially offset by the change of the gold to silver conversion ratio from 70:1 to 90:1, effective for the period April 30, 2025 to October 28, 2025. On October 29, 2025, the gold to silver conversion ratio returned to 70:1; partially offset by

 

   

7,400 ounce or 26% decrease from Peñasquito (644,000 silver ounces), primarily the result of lower grades with mining activities having transitioned back into the Peñasco pit which contains lower silver grades relative to the Chile Colorado pit, partially offset by higher recoveries;

 

   

6,100 ounce or 20% decrease from Constancia (comprised of 3,300 gold ounces and 239,000 silver ounces), primarily due to lower grades; and

 

   

700 ounce or 24% decrease from Stillwater (comprised of 600 gold ounces and 300 palladium ounces), primarily due to lower grades and recoveries.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2025 ANNUAL REPORT- MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [27]


GEO Production

For the year ended December 31, 2025, attributable GEO production was 689,900 ounces, with the 54,400 ounce increase from the comparable period in 2024 being primarily attributable to the following factors:

 

   

24,900 ounce or 9% increase from Salobo primarily the result of higher throughput resulting from improved efficiencies at Salobo 1 and 2, partially offset by lower grades and recoveries.;

 

   

22,900 ounce or 52% increase from Antamina (1,981,000 silver ounces), primarily due to higher grades and throughput, partially offset by lower recoveries;

10,300 ounce or 16% increase from the Other mines (comprised of 3,600 gold ounces and 579,000 silver ounces), primarily due to the resumption of mining at Aljustrel, coupled with the commencement of production at Goose and the acquisition of the Hemlo PMPA;

 

   

6,100 ounce or 91% increase from Voisey’s Bay (1,171,000 cobalt pounds) as the underground mine at Voisey’s Bay continues ramp-up to full production, with full ramp-up expected by the second half of 2026;

 

   

4,000 ounce or 21% increase from Sudbury, primarily due to higher throughput and recoveries, partially offset by lower grades; and

 

   

2,300 ounce or 8% increase from San Dimas, with higher throughput being partially offset by the change of the gold to silver conversion ratio from 70:1 to 90:1, effective for the period April 30, 2025 to October 28, 2025. On October 29, 2025, the gold to silver conversion ratio returned to 70:1; partially offset by

 

   

16,100 ounce or 15% decrease from Peñasquito (1,393,000 silver ounces), 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;

 

   

15,800 ounce or 19% decrease from Constancia (comprised of 12,400 gold ounces and 293,000 silver ounces), primarily due to lower grades; and

 

   

4,900 ounce or 33% decrease from Stillwater (comprised of 2,900 gold ounces and 5,400 palladium ounces), primarily due to lower throughput as Stillwater West operations were placed into care and maintenance in September 2024.

 Effective tax rate

     14%        30%        13%        18%  

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded increases in global minimum tax (“GMT”) expense of $59 million and $134 million, respectively, primarily attributable to higher net earnings from the Cayman Islands subsidiaries, which rose by $394 million and $893 million over the respective prior-year periods.

GMT is payable to the Government of Canada 15 months after year-end (18 months after year-end for the year ended December 31, 2024). To date, the government of the Cayman Islands has indicated that they do not intend to enact Pillar Two Legislation.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded a deferred tax expense of $22 million in other comprehensive income as a result of increased unrealized gains on long-term equity investments. This was partly offset by an $18 million deferred tax recovery recognized in net earnings, driven predominantly by the recognition of $38 million of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets and offset by $20 million of temporary-difference movements arising from regular operations.

Note that the Company’s effective tax rate was higher in 2024 relative to 2025, with the 2024 effective tax rate being elevated due to an impairment charge on the Company’s Voisey’s Bay PMPA held in Canada, which reduced the Canadian net income and deferred tax position. The 2024 impairment did not impact the net income position of the Cayman operations which is subject to a 15% GMT. Additionally, the 2025 effective tax rate is lower due to the significant deferred tax recovery in net earnings that resulted from the recognition of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources1

As at December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.2 billion (December 31, 2024 - $818 million) and no debt outstanding under its Revolving Facility (December 31, 2024 - $NIL). The Company expects to make the $4.3 billion upfront payment relative to the Antamina stream on or around April 1, 2026.

The upfront payment of $4.3 billion will be funded through a combination of existing liquidity and new financing. Funding sources include estimated cash on hand at closing of approximately $1.9 billion, including the $1.2 billion cash on hand at December 31, 2025 in addition to $323 million realized on the disposal of certain Long-Term Equity Investments. The remaining balance will be funded through an approximate $0.9 billion draw on the Company’s Revolving Facility, in addition to a new $1.5 billion non-revolving term loan credit facility (the “Term Loan”) which carries a two-year maturity and aligns with the terms of the Company’s existing Revolving Facility.

 

 

Statements made in this section contain forward-looking information with respect to funding outstanding commitments and continuing to acquire accretive mineral stream interests and readers are cautioned that actual outcomes may vary. Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for material risks, assumptions and important disclosures associated with this information.

 

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2025 ANNUAL REPORT- MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [31]


The Term Loan and the Revolving Facility provide flexible, non-dilutive financing that may be repaid at any time without penalty. The remaining liquidity available from the Revolving Facility, in addition to continued strong operating cash flows, provides healthy balance sheet capacity. Net debt at closing of the BHP Antamina PMPA acquisition is currently expected to be approximately $2.4 billion1, assuming estimated approximate incremental cash flows.

In the opinion of management, with the liquidity provided by the remaining available credit under the $2 billion Revolving Facility coupled with the $500 million accordion and ongoing operating cash flows, the Company remains well positioned to fund all outstanding commitments, as detailed in the Contractual Obligations and Contingencies section on pages 36 through 41 of this MD&A, as well as providing flexibility to acquire additional accretive mineral stream interests.

A summary of the Company’s cash flow activity is as follows:

1)

The production payment is measured as either a fixed amount per ounce of gold delivered, or as a percentage of the spot price of gold on the date of delivery. Contracts where the payment is a fixed amount per ounce of gold delivered are subject to an annual inflationary increase, with the exception of Sudbury. Additionally, should the prevailing market price for gold be lower than this fixed amount, the per ounce cash payment will be reduced to the prevailing market price, subject to an annual inflationary factor.

2)

Subject to an increase to $550 per ounce of gold after the initial 40-year term.

3)

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 October 29, 2025, the fixed gold to silver exchange ratio was revised from 90:1 to 70:1.

4)

To be increased to 22% once the market value of all metals delivered to Wheaton, net of the per ounce cash payment, exceeds the initial upfront cash deposit.

5)

Under certain PMPAs, the Company’s attributable gold percentage will be reduced once certain thresholds are achieved:

  a.

Blackwater – reduced to 4% once the Company has received 464,000 ounces of gold.

  b.

Platreef - reduced to 50% once the Company has received 218,750 ounces of gold, with a further reduction to 3.125% once the Company has received 428,300 ounces, at which point the per ounce cash payment increases to 80% of the spot price of gold. If certain thresholds are met, including if production through the Platreef project concentrator achieves 5.5 Mtpa, the 3.125% residual gold stream will terminate.

  c.

Marmato – reduced to 5.25% once Wheaton has received 310,000 ounces of gold.

  d.

Santo Domingo – reduced to 67% once the Company has received 285,000 ounces of gold.

  e.

El Domo – reduced to 33% once the Company has received 145,000 ounces of gold.

  f.

Marathon – reduced to 67% once the Company has received 150,000 ounces of gold.

  g.

Goose – reduced to 1.44% once the Company has received 87,100 ounces of gold, with a further reduction to 1% once the Company has received 134,000 ounces.

  h.

Cangrejos – reduced to 2.9% once the Company has received 469,000 ounces of gold.

  i.

Curraghinalt – reduced to 1.5% once the Company has received 125,000 ounces of gold.

  k.

Kurmuk – reduced to 4.8% once the Company has received 220,000 ounces of gold. During any period in which debt exceeding $150 million ranks ahead of the gold stream, the stream percentage increases to 7.15% and decreases to 5.25% once the drop down threshold is reached.

  l.

Kudz Ze Kayah – reduced to 6.125% once the Company has received 330,000 ounces of gold, with a further reduction to 5.5% until the Company has received an additional 59,800 ounces of gold, with a further reduction to 5.5% until the Company has received an additional 270,200 ounces of gold, thereafter increased to 6.75%.

  m.

Cotabambas – reduced to 16.67% once the Company has received 90 million silver equivalent ounces.

  n.

Spring Valley – reduced to 6% once the Company has received 300,000 ounces of gold.

  o.

commencing in 2033, if deliveries fall behind the agreed schedule by 10,000 ounces or more, the stream percentage will be increased by 5% until deliveries catch up with the agreed schedule. The payable gold will be reduced by half with respect to gold production from certain claims comprising the Interlake deposit

6)

On October 21, 2024, the Company amended the Fenix PMPA. Under the original agreement, the Company was to acquire an amount of gold equal to 6% of the gold production until 90,000 ounces have been delivered, 4% of the gold production until the delivery of a further 140,000 ounces and 3.5% gold production thereafter for the life of mine. Under the revised agreement, the Company is entitled to purchase an additional 16% of payable gold production (22% in total) (subject to adjustment if there are delays in deliveries relative to an agreed schedule). Once Rio2 delivers the incremental 95,000 ounces (as adjusted), the stream reverts to the percentages and thresholds under the original Fenix PMPA (as described). Rio2 has a one-time option to terminate the requirement to deliver the incremental gold production from the end of 2027 until the end of 2029 by delivering 95,000 ounces (as adjusted) less previously delivered gold ounces, excluding those gold ounces which would have been delivered under the original Fenix PMPA.

7)

On February 27, 2024, the Company closed the Orion Purchase Agreement to acquire the Platreef and Kudz Ze Kayah PMPAs.

8)

Until October 23, 2029, there is a price adjustment mechanism under the Koné PMPA:

  a.

if the spot price of gold is less than $2,100 per ounce, the Company will pay 20% of $2,100 less 25% of the difference between $2,100 and $1,800, less 30% of the difference between $1,800 and the spot price of gold; and

  b.

if the spot price is greater than $2,700 per ounce, the Company will pay 25% of the difference between $3,000 and $2,700, plus 30% of the difference between the actual spot price of gold and $3,000.

Under the terms of the settlement with the CRA of the transfer pricing dispute relating to the 2005 to 2010 taxation years (the “CRA Settlement”), income earned outside of Canada by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries will not be subject to tax in Canada under transfer pricing rules. The CRA Settlement principles apply to all taxation years after 2010 subject to there being no material change in facts or change in law or jurisprudence. Bill C-15, Budget 2025 Implementation Act, No.1, contains proposed amendments to the existing transfer pricing regime under the Tax Act, which could have an impact on the application of the CRA Settlement to taxation years after 2025. Once it is in force, the Company expects to apply the same transfer pricing methodology and achieve a consistent outcome with past periods.

The CRA is not restricted under the terms of the CRA Settlement from issuing reassessments on some basis other than transfer pricing which could result in some or all of the income of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries being subject to tax in Canada.

It is not known or determinable by the Company when any ongoing audits by CRA of international and domestic transactions will be completed, or whether reassessments will be issued, or the basis, quantum or timing of any such potential reassessments, and it is therefore not practicable for the Company to estimate the financial effect, if any, of any ongoing audits. From time to time there may also be proposed legislative changes to law or outstanding legal actions that may have an impact on the current or prior periods, the outcome, applicability and impact of which is also not known or determinable by the Company.

General

By their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events. If the Company is unable to resolve any of these matters favorably, there may be a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial performance, cash flows or results of operations. In the event that the Company’s estimate of the future resolution of any of the foregoing matters changes, the Company will recognize the effects of the change in its consolidated financial statements in the appropriate period relative to when such change occurs.

Share Capital

During the three months ended December 31, 2025, a total of 17,101 share purchase options were exercised at a weighted average exercise price of Cdn$61.08 per option, resulting in total cash proceeds to the Company in the amount of $1 million (twelve months - $7 million from the exercise of 178,489 share purchase options at a weighted average exercise price of Cdn$56.51). During the three months ended December 31, 2024, a total of 5,560 share purchase options were exercised at a weighted average exercise price of Cdn$37.43 per option, resulting in total cash proceeds to the Company in the amount of $0.1 million (twelve months - $13 million from the exercise of 500,017 share purchase options at a weighted average exercise price of Cdn$36.18).

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company released 141,525 RSUs, as compared to 69,494 RSUs during the comparable period of the previous year.

The Company has implemented a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) whereby shareholders can elect to have dividends reinvested directly into additional Wheaton common shares. During the three months ended December 31, 2025, there were 6,603 common shares issued under the DRIP (twelve months - 36,517 common shares). During the three months ended December 31, 2024, there were 6,016 common shares issued under the DRIP (twelve months - 38,534 common shares).

As of March 12, 2026, there were 454,036,958 outstanding common shares, 1,032,188 share purchase options and 241,880 restricted share units.

Dividends Paid 1

During 2025, the Company paid quarterly dividends of $0.165 per share, amounting to $300 million, as compared to $281 million at a rate of $0.155 per share in 2024.

The following is a summary of the dividends paid and the annual dividend per share for the last 3 years, along with the forecast for 2026.

dividend. The declaration, timing, amount and payment of future dividends remain at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Financial Instruments

The Company owns equity interests in several companies as long-term investments (see page 13 of this MD&A) and therefore is inherently exposed to various risk factors including currency risk, market price risk and liquidity risk.

In order to mitigate the effect of short-term volatility in gold, silver and palladium prices, the Company will occasionally enter into forward contracts in relation to gold, silver and palladium deliveries that it is highly confident will occur within a given quarter. The Company does not hedge its long-term exposure to commodity prices. The Company has not used derivative financial instruments to manage the risks associated with its operations and therefore, in the normal course of business, it is inherently exposed to currency, interest rate and commodity price fluctuations. Refer to Note 5 to the consolidated financial statement for further information.

Material Risks

The following summarizes the most material risks to the Company’s business. This is not a complete list of the potential risks the Company faces. For a comprehensive discussion about the Company’s risks, see the most recent Annual Information Form and Form 40-F on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities and see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this MD&A.

 

   

Commodity Prices – The Company’s business operations are fully exposed to changes in the market prices of precious metals and cobalt which fluctuate widely. Changes in the market price of commodities that we purchase under our PMPAs and in the commodities markets will affect our profitability. The price of the Common Shares and the Company’s financial results may be significantly and adversely affected by a decline in the price of precious metals and cobalt.

 

   

Production from Mining Operations – To the extent that they relate to the production of precious metals or cobalt from, or the continued operation of, the Mining Operations, the Company will be subject to the following risks applicable to the operators of such mines or projects:

 

  o

No Control Over Mining Operations Production – The Company’s business operations are fully exposed to the risk that Mining Operations will not meet production forecasts or targets. The Company has no direct involvement in the operation of the Mining Operations and as a result the activities of third-party operators at these Mining Operations could negatively affect the cash flows generated by the Company. The ability for the operators of the Mining Operations to act in their sole discretion could therefore have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

  o

Production Forecasts: The Company prepares estimates and forecasts of future attributable production from the Mining Operations and relies on public disclosure and other information it receives from the owners, operators and independent experts of the Mining Operations to prepare such estimates. Such information is necessarily imprecise because it depends upon the judgment of the individuals who operate the Mining Operations as well as those who review and assess the geological and engineering information. If the Company’s production forecasts prove to be incorrect, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

  o

Commodity Price Fluctuations: Declining commodity prices can adversely impact production from Mining Operations; future production from the Mining Operations is dependent on metal prices that are adequate to make these properties economic.

 

  o

Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Estimates: Mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates are uncertain and may be adversely impacted by market fluctuations, productions costs operating factors or reduced recovery rates. The economic viability of a mineral deposit may be impacted by attributes of a particular deposit, which may require operators of Mining Operations to reduce their mineral reserves and mineral resources, which may result in a material and adverse effect on the Company’s profitability, results of operations, financial condition and the trading price of the Company’s securities.

 

  o

Governmental Regulations: The Mining Operations are subject to extensive laws and regulations. The costs of discovering, evaluating, planning, designing, developing, constructing, operating and closing the Mining Operations in compliance with such laws and regulations are significant. It is possible that the costs and delays associated with compliance with such laws and regulations could become such that the owners or operators of the Mining Operations would not proceed with the development of or continue to operate a mine. Moreover, it is possible that future regulatory developments could result in substantial costs and liabilities for the owners or operators of the

 

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2025 ANNUAL REPORT- MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [42]


 

Mining Operations such that they would not proceed with the development of, or continue to operate, a mine or mines which may impact on the amount of precious metals or cobalt that the Company may receive under the terms of its relevant PMPAs and which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial position.

 

  o

International Operations: The Mining Operations are all exposed to various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties due to their international location. Changes, if any, in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude may adversely affect the operations or profitability of the Mining Operations in these countries. The occurrence of these various factors and uncertainties cannot be accurately predicted and could have an adverse effect on the Mining Operations or on the ability of the companies with which the Company has PMPAs to perform their obligations under those PMPAs.

 

  o

Exploration, Development, Operating, Expansions and Improvements: The Mining Operations are subject to significant hazards and risks that can adversely impact the Mining Operations ability to commence operations or to continue to operate as planned or at all. The occurrence of any of the above-mentioned hazards or risks could result in an interruption or suspension of operation of the Mining Operations and have a material adverse effect on the Company and the trading price of the Company’s securities as well as the Company’s reputation.

 

  o

Climate Change: All of Wheaton’s PMPAs are exposed to climate-related risks through the Mining Operations. Climate change could result in challenging physical conditions including acute weather events such as higher intensity storms, extreme heat, flooding (surface and fluvial), wildfire and landslides, as well as chronic weather and physical conditions such as rising temperatures, water stress, changes in precipitation patterns and drought. These conditions, and the costs of efforts by the Mining Operations to manage such conditions, may adversely affect the Mining Operations and there can be no assurances that the Mining Operations will be able to predict, respond to, measure, monitor or manage the risks posed such conditions. Further, such conditions could result in the owners or operators of the Mining Operations not proceeding with the development of or continue to operate a mine, which may impact the amount of precious metals or cobalt or other payments that the Company may receive under the terms of its relevant PMPAs. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial position, the Company’s reputation and the trading price of the Company’s securities.

 

  o

Licenses, Permits, Approvals and Rulings. The Mining Operations are subject to receiving and maintaining licenses, permits, approvals and rulings from appropriate governmental authorities. Changes in laws and regulations or in the granting or renewal of licenses, permits, approvals and rulings could have a material adverse effect on the revenue the Company derives from the Mining Operations. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations, permits and licenses, or to maintain permits and licenses in good standing, even if inadvertent, could result in interruption or closure of exploration, development or mining operations or fines, penalties or other liabilities accruing to the owner or operator of the Mining Operations. Any such occurrence could substantially decrease production or cause the termination of operations on the property and have a material adverse effect on the Company and the trading price of the Company’s securities.

 

   

Counterparty Credit and Liquidity – The Company is exposed to counterparty risks and liquidity risks including, but not limited to: (i) through the companies with which the Company has PMPAs which may experience financial, operational or other difficulties, including insolvency, which could limit or suspend those companies’ ability to perform their obligations under those PMPAs; (ii) through financial institutions that hold the Company’s cash and cash equivalents; (iii) through companies that have payables to the Company, including concentrate customers; (iv) through the Company’s insurance providers; (v) through companies that owe a refund of the Refundable Deposit under the terms of the respective PMPA; and (vi) through the Company’s lenders, financial institutions, and bullion banks. The inability of the Company’s counterparties to perform their obligations under agreements with the Company or the inability of the Company to meet operating expenditure requirements could adversely impact the Company’s cash flows. In addition, any adverse financial or operational consequences on a counterparty may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

   

Mine Operator and Counterparty Concentration – Precious metals and cobalt purchases under certain of Wheaton’s PMPAs are subject to both mine operator concentration risk and counterparty concentration risk, with total revenues relative to Vale, Newmont, Hudbay and Glencore during the year ended December 31, 2025 being 49%, 13%, 10% and 10% respectively of the Company’s total revenue. Should any of these mine operators or counterparties become unable or unwilling to fulfill their obligations under their agreements with the Company, or should any of the risk factors identified by the Company materialize in respect of the mine operators, counterparties or the Mining Operations, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company, including, but not limited to, the Company’s revenue, net income and cash flows from operations.

 

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2025 ANNUAL REPORT- MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [43]


   

Taxes – The introduction of new tax laws, regulations or rules, or changes to, or differing interpretation of, or application of, or court decisions in respect of, existing tax laws, regulations or rules in Canada, the Cayman Islands or Luxembourg, or any of the countries in which the Company’s subsidiaries or the Mining Operations are located, or to which deliveries of precious metals, precious metals credits or cobalt are made, could result in an increase in the Company’s taxes, or other governmental charges, duties or impositions.

 

   

Competition – The Company competes with other companies for PMPAs and similar transactions. The competition for PMPAs and similar transactions could adversely impact the Company’s ability to acquire desirable PMPAs. In addition, competition from companies with substantial resources could impact the Company’s ability to acquire PMPAs and similar transactions at acceptable valuations or at acceptable returns, which could adversely impact the Company’s cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the balance sheet date, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. The following discussion provides details of the critical accounting estimates made in preparing the financial statements. For additional information, Note 3 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements describes all of the material accounting policies while Note 4 describes the significant areas of estimation uncertainty and judgments made by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Mineral Stream Interests

Attributable Reserve, Resource and Exploration Potential Estimates

Mineral stream interests are significant assets of the Company, with a carrying value of $7.4 billion at December 31, 2025, inclusive of early deposit agreements. This amount represents the capitalized expenditures related to the acquisition of the mineral stream interests, net of accumulated depletion and accumulated impairment charges, if any. The Company estimates the reserves, resources and exploration potential relating to each agreement. Reserves are estimates of the amount of metals contained in ore that can be economically and legally extracted from the mining properties in respect of which the Company has PMPAs. Resources are estimates of the amount of metals contained in mineralized material for which there is a reasonable prospect for economic extraction from the mining properties in respect of which the Company has PMPAs. Exploration potential represents an estimate of additional reserves and resources which may be discovered through the mine operator’s exploration program. The Company adjusts its estimates of reserves, resources (where applicable) and exploration potential (where applicable) to reflect the Company’s percentage entitlement to metals produced from such mines. The Company compiles its estimates of its reserves and resources based on information supplied by appropriately qualified persons relating to the geological data on the size, density and grade of the ore body, and require complex geological and geostatistical judgments to interpret the data. The estimation of recoverable reserves and resources is based upon factors such as estimates of foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital requirements, and production costs along with geological assumptions and judgments made in estimating the size and grade of the ore body. The Company estimates exploration potential based on assumptions surrounding the ore body continuity which requires judgment as to future success of any exploration programs undertaken by the mine operator. Changes in the reserve estimates, resource estimates or exploration potential estimates may impact upon the carrying value of the Company’s mineral stream interests and depletion charges.

Depletion

As described above, the cost of these mineral stream interests are separately allocated to reserves, resources and exploration potential. The value allocated to reserves is classified as depletable and is depleted on a unit-of-production basis over the estimated recoverable proven and probable reserves at the mine corresponding to the specific agreement. The value associated with resources and exploration potential is the value beyond proven and probable reserves at acquisition and is classified as non-depletable until such time as it is transferred to the depletable category as a result of the conversion of resources and/or exploration potential into reserves. To make this allocation, the Company estimates the recoverable reserves, resources and exploration potential at each mining operation. These calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions, including the amount of contained metals, recovery rates and payable rates. Changes to these assumptions may impact the estimated recoverable reserves, resources or exploration potential which could directly impact the depletion rates used. Changes to depletion rates are accounted for prospectively.

Impairment of Assets

The Company assesses each PMPA at the end of every reporting period to determine whether any indication of impairment or impairment reversal exists. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the PMPA is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment or impairment reversal (if any). The calculation of the recoverable

 

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2025 ANNUAL REPORT- MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [44]


amount requires the use of estimates and assumptions such as long-term commodity prices, discount rates, recoverable ounces of attributable metals, and operating performance.

The price of precious metals and cobalt has been volatile over the past several years. The Company monitors spot and forward metal prices and if necessary re-evaluates the long-term metal price assumptions used for impairment testing. Should price levels decline or increase in the future, either for an extended period of time or due to known macro economic changes, the Company may need to re-evaluate the long-term metal price assumptions used for impairment testing. A significant decrease in long-term metal price assumptions may be an indication of potential impairment, while a significant increase in long-term metal price assumptions may be an indication of potential impairment reversal. In addition, the Company also monitors the estimated recoverable reserves and resources as well as operational developments and other matters at the mining properties in respect of which the Company has PMPAs for indications of impairment or impairment reversal. Should the Company conclude that it has an indication of impairment or impairment reversal at any balance sheet date, the Company is required to perform an impairment assessment.

At December 31, 2024, indicators of impairment were identified relative to the Voisey’s Bay PMPA, primarily as a result of significant and sustained decrease in the market price of cobalt over the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to historical price levels. Management estimated that the recoverable amount at December 31, 2024 of the Voisey’s Bay PMPA was less than the carrying amount and accordingly recorded an impairment charge of $109 million. Refer to Note 13 of the financial statements for further information. No such indicators of impairment were identified in 2025.

Valuation of Stock Based Compensation

The Company has various forms of stock based compensation, including share purchase options, restricted share units (“RSUs”) and performance share units (“PSUs”). The calculation of the fair value of share purchase options, RSUs and PSUs issued requires the use of estimates as more fully described below.

The Company recognizes a stock based compensation expense for all share purchase options and RSUs awarded to employees, officers and directors based on the fair values of the share purchase options and RSUs at the date of grant. The fair values of share purchase options and RSUs at the date of grant are expensed over the vesting periods of the share purchase options and RSUs, respectively, with a corresponding increase to equity. The fair value of share purchase options is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with market related inputs as of the date of grant. Share purchase options with graded vesting schedules are accounted for as separate grants with different vesting periods and fair values. The fair value of RSUs is the market value of the underlying shares at the date of grant. At the end of each reporting period, the Company re-assesses its estimates of the number of awards that are expected to vest and recognizes the impact of any revisions to this estimate in the consolidated statement of earnings.

The Company recognizes a stock based compensation expense for PSUs which are awarded to eligible employees and are settled in cash. The related expense is based on the value of the anticipated settlement and multiplier for current performance at the end of the associated performance periods. This estimated expense is reflected as a component of net earnings over the vesting period of the PSUs with the related obligation recorded as a liability on the balance sheet. The amount of compensation expense is adjusted at the end of each reporting period to reflect the fair market value of common shares and the number of PSUs anticipated to vest based on the anticipated performance factor.

New Accounting Standards Effective in 2025

Amendment to IAS 21 - Lack of Exchangeability

Effective January 1, 2025, the Company adopted the Amendment to IAS 21 - Lack of Exchangeability. The amendments contain guidance to specify when a currency is exchangeable and how to determine the exchange rate when it is not, as well as associated disclosure requirements when it is concluded a currency is not exchangeable. The adoption of this amendment had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Future Changes to Accounting Policies

IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements.

In April 2024, IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements was issued. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements while carrying forward many of the requirements in IAS 1. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements to: i) present specified categories and defined subtotals in the statement of earnings, ii) provide disclosures on management-defined performance measures (MPMs) in the notes to the financial statements, iii) improve aggregation and disaggregation. Some of the requirements in IAS 1 are moved to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. There were also minor amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IAS 33 Earnings per Share in connection with the new standard. IFRS 18 requires retrospective application with specific transition provisions. The Company is required to apply IFRS 18 for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of IFRS 18 on its financial statements.

Non-GAAP Measures

Wheaton has included, throughout this document, certain non-GAAP performance measures, including (i) adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share; (ii) operating cash flow per share (basic and diluted); (iii) average cash costs of gold, silver and palladium on a per ounce basis and cobalt on a per pound basis; and (iv) cash operating margin.

These non-GAAP measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards, and other companies may calculate these measures differently. The presentation of these non-GAAP measures is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.

 

  i.

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 Accounting Standards, management and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance.

The following table provides a reconciliation of adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share (basic and diluted).

  iii.

Average cash cost of gold, silver and palladium on a per ounce basis and cobalt on a per pound basis is calculated by dividing the total cost of sales, less depletion and cost of sales related to delay ounces, by the ounces or pounds sold. In the precious metal mining industry, this is a common performance measure but does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards. In addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, management and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance and ability to generate cash flow.

  iv.

Cash operating margin is calculated by adding back depletion and the cost of sales related to delay ounces to the gross margin. Cash operating margin on a per ounce or per pound basis is calculated by dividing the cash operating margin by the number of ounces or pounds sold during the period. 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.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash operating margin.

Subsequent Events

Declaration of Dividend

On March 12, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a dividend in the amount of $0.195 per common share, with this dividend being payable to shareholders of record on March 31, 2026 and is expected to be distributed on or about April 10, 2026. The Company has implemented a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) whereby shareholders can elect to have dividends reinvested directly into additional Wheaton common shares based on the Average Market Price, as defined in the DRIP.

Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Wheaton’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the design and effectiveness of Wheaton’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Canadian Securities Administrators, as of December 31, 2025. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that Wheaton’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2025.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Under the supervision of the Chief Financial Officer, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. The Company’s controls include policies and procedures that:

 

   

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

 

   

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and,

 

   

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the annual financial statements or interim financial statements.

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting using the framework and criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the internal control over financial reporting was effective at as of December 31, 2025.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2025 that would materially affect, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Limitation of Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2025 ANNUAL REPORT- MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [57]


The Stillwater mine has been in operation since 1986 and the East Boulder mine since 2002. Individual grades for platinum, palladium, gold and rhodium are estimated using ratios applied to the combined platinum plus palladium grades based upon average historic production results provided to the Company as of the date of this document. As such, the Attributable Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve palladium and gold grades for the Stillwater mines have been estimated using the following ratios:

 

  a.

Stillwater mine: Pd = (Pt + Pd) / (1/3.46 + 1) and Au = (Pd + Pt) x 0.0238

 

  b.

East Boulder mine: Pd = (Pt + Pd) / (1/3.66 + 1) and Au = (Pd + Pt) x 0.0323

other factors that cause results, level of activity, performance or achievements not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate and even if events or results described in the forward-looking statements are realized or substantially realized, there can be no assurance that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, Wheaton. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and are cautioned that actual outcomes may vary. The forward-looking statements included herein are for the purpose of providing investors with information to assist them in understanding Wheaton’s expected financial and operational performance and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Any forward looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Wheaton does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that are included or incorporated by reference herein, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.

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 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 terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve” and “probable mineral reserve” are Canadian mining terms defined in accordance with 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 Definition Standards”). NI 43-101 differs significantly from the disclosure requirements of the SEC generally applicable to U.S. companies. For example, 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 of the SEC generally applicable to U.S. companies. 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 http://www.sec.gov/edgar.html.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2025 ANNUAL REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [2]


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its financial performance and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 12, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Impairment - Assessment of Whether Indicators of Impairment or Impairment Reversal Exist within the Mineral Stream Interests - Refer to Note 4.3 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company considers each precious metals purchase agreement (“PMPA”) to be a separate cash generating unit (“CGU”). The Company’s determination of whether or not an indicator of impairment or impairment reversal exists at the CGU level requires significant management judgment. Changes in metal price forecasts, discount rates, reductions or increases in the amount of future recoverable ounces of metals attributable to the Company and/or adverse or favorable operational, political or regulatory developments impacting the mining properties in respect of which the Company has PMPAs can result in a write-down or write-up of the carrying amounts of the Company’s mineral stream interests.

While there are several factors that are required to determine whether or not an indicator of impairment or impairment reversal exists, the judgments with the highest degree of subjectivity are evaluating the impact of (1) changes to future metal prices for gold, silver, palladium and cobalt, and (2) changes in the amount of future recoverable ounces of metals attributable to the Company. Auditing these estimates and factors required a high degree of subjectivity in applying audit procedures and in evaluating the results of those procedures. This resulted in an increased extent of audit effort, including the involvement of fair value specialists.

 

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2025 ANNUAL REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [3]


How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures to evaluate the impact of changes to (1) future metal prices for gold, silver, palladium and cobalt and (2) changes in the amount of future recoverable ounces of metals attributable to the Company in the assessment of indicators of impairment or impairment reversal included the following, among others:

 

 

Evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls over management’s assessment of indicators of impairment or impairment reversal.

 

 

Evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast future recoverable ounces of metals attributable to the Company by:

 

 

Assessing the methodology used in management’s determination of the future recoverable ounces of attributable metals;

 

 

Completing retrospective analysis comparing the Company’s historical forecasts to actual results;

 

 

Assessing management’s expected future recoverable ounces of attributable metals by considering the reserve and resource estimates prepared by the third-party mining property operators; and

 

 

Considering the professional qualifications and objectivity of management’s specialists.

 

 

With the assistance of fair value specialists, evaluated the significance of movements in future metal prices for gold, silver, palladium and cobalt by comparing historical forecasts to current third-party forecasts.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2025 ANNUAL REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [4]


Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (“Wheaton”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer and effected by the Board of Directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”). It includes those policies and procedures that:

 

  i.

pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, the transactions related to Wheaton’s assets;

 

  ii.

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and Wheaton receipts and expenditures are made only in accordance with authorizations of management and Wheaton’s directors; and

 

  iii.

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of Wheaton’s assets that could have a material effect on Wheaton’s financial statements.

Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of Wheaton’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, Wheaton’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

The effectiveness of Wheaton’s internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2025, has been audited by Deloitte LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, who also audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, as stated in their report.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2025 ANNUAL REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [5]


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2025, of the Company and our report dated March 12, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (US Dollars)

 

1.

Description of Business and Nature of Operations

Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. is a precious metal streaming company which generates its revenue primarily from the sale of precious metals (gold, silver and palladium) and cobalt. Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (“Wheaton” or the “Company”), which is the ultimate parent company of its consolidated group, is incorporated and domiciled in Canada, and its principal place of business is at Suite 3500 - 1021 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 0C3. The Company trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and the London Stock Exchange (“LSE”) under the symbol WPM.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has entered into 42 long-term agreements¹ (34 of which are precious metal purchase agreements, or “PMPAs”, three of which are early deposit PMPAs, and five of which are royalty agreements), with 34 different mining companies, related to precious metals and cobalt relating to 23 mining assets which are currently operating, 23 of which are at various stages of development and 2 which have been placed into care and maintenance or have been closed, located in 18 countries. Pursuant to the PMPAs, Wheaton acquires metal production from the counterparties for an initial upfront payment plus an additional cash payment for each ounce or pound delivered which is either a fixed price or fixed percentage of the market price by contract, generally at or below the prevailing market price.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025 were authorized for issue as of March 12, 2026 in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors.

 

2.

Basis of Presentation and Statement of Compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”) on a historical cost basis, except for financial assets which are not held for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows on specified dates and derivative assets and derivative liabilities which have been measured at fair value as at the relevant balance sheet date. The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States (“US”) dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency, and all values are expressed in thousands unless otherwise noted. References to “Cdn$” refer to Canadian dollars.

Material Accounting Policy Information

 

3.1.

New Accounting Standards Effective in 2025

Amendment to IAS 21 - Lack of Exchangeability

Effective January 1, 2025, the Company adopted the Amendment to IAS 21 - Lack of Exchangeability. The amendments contain guidance to specify when a currency is exchangeable and how to determine the exchange rate when it is not, as well as associated disclosure requirements when it is concluded a currency is not exchangeable. The adoption of this amendment had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

3.2.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 100% owned subsidiaries Wheaton Precious Metals International Ltd., Silver Wheaton Luxembourg S.a.r.l. and Wheaton Precious Metals (Cayman) Co.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which the Company obtains a controlling interest. Control is defined as an investor’s power over an investee with exposure, or rights, to variable returns from the investee and the ability to affect the investor’s returns through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial results of the Company from the effective date of acquisition up to the effective date of disposition or loss of control.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. Balances, transactions, income and expenses between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated on consolidation.

 

3.3.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue relating to the sale of precious metals is recognized when control of the precious metal is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products. In determining whether the Company has satisfied a performance obligation, it considers the indicators of the transfer of control, which include, but are not limited to, whether: the Company has a present right to payment; the

 

 

 

Minto has been removed from the mine count due to Minto Metals Corp. being placed in receivership.

customer has legal title to the asset; the Company has transferred physical possession of the asset to the customer; and the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.

Under certain PMPAs, precious metal is acquired from the mine operator in the form of precious metal credits, which is then sold through bullion banks. Revenue from precious metal credit sales is recognized at the time of the sale of such credits, which is also the date that control of the precious metal is transferred to the customer. The Company will occasionally enter into forward contracts in relation to precious metal deliveries that it is highly confident will occur within a given quarter. The sales price is fixed at the delivery date based on either the terms of these short-term forward sales contracts or the spot price of the precious metal.

Under certain PMPAs, precious metal is acquired from the mine operator in concentrate form, which is then sold under the terms of the concentrate sales contracts to third-party smelters or traders. Where the Company acquires precious metals in concentrate form, final precious metal prices are set on a specified future quotational period (the “Quotational Period”) pursuant to the concentrate sales contracts with third-party smelters, typically one to three months after the shipment date, based on market prices for precious metals. The contracts, in general, provide for a provisional payment based upon provisional assays and quoted precious metal prices. Final settlement is based upon the average applicable price for the Quotational Period applied to the actual number of precious metal ounces recovered calculated using confirmed smelter weights and settlement assays. Revenues and the associated cost of sales are recorded on a gross basis under these contracts at the time title passes to the buyer, which is also the date that control of the precious metal is transferred to the customer. The Company has concluded that the adjustments relating to the final assay results for the quantity of concentrate sold are not significant and do not constrain the recognition of revenue.

Revenue from the cobalt sale is recognized at the time of the delivery, which is also the date that control of the cobalt is transferred to the offtaker.

 

3.4.

Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through net earnings) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through net earnings are recognized immediately in net earnings.

 

3.5.

Financial Assets

Financial assets are subsequently measured at either amortized cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.

Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (“FVTOCI”)

The Company’s long-term investments in common shares held are for long-term strategic purposes and not for trading. Upon the adoption of IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”), the Company made an irrevocable election to designate these long-term investments in common shares held as FVTOCI as it believes that this provides a more meaningful presentation for long-term strategic investments, rather than reflecting changes in fair value in net earnings.

Long-term investments in common shares held are initially measured at fair value. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and accumulated in the long-term investment revaluation reserve. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to net earnings on disposal of these long-term investments but is reclassified to retained earnings.

Dividends on these long-term investments in common shares held are recognized as a component of net earnings in the period they are received under the classification Other Income (Expense).

Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Net Earnings (“FVTNE”)

Cash and cash equivalents are stated at FVTNE.

Warrants held by the Company for long-term investment purposes are classified as FVTNE. These warrants are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized as a component of net earnings under the classification Other Income (Expense).

 

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2025 ANNUAL REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [13]


Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (US Dollars)

 

As discussed in Note 3.3, the Company’s provisionally priced sales contain an embedded derivative that is reflected at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Fair value gains and losses related to the embedded derivative are included in revenue in the period they occur.

Financial Assets at Amortized Cost

The previously outstanding non-revolving term loan, which requires regularly scheduled payments of interest and principal, is carried at amortized cost. Other receivables are non-interest bearing and are stated at amortized cost, which approximate fair values due to the short terms to maturity. Where necessary, the previously outstanding non-revolving term loan and other receivables are reported net of allowances for uncollectable amounts.

Foreign Exchange Gains and Losses

The fair value of financial assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of each reporting period. The foreign exchange component forms part of its fair value gain or loss. Therefore,

 

   

For financial assets that are classified as FVTNE, the foreign exchange component is recognized as a component of net earnings;

 

   

For financial assets that are classified as FVTOCI, the foreign exchange component is recognized as a component of OCI; and

 

   

For financial assets that are denominated in a foreign currency and are measured at amortized cost at the end of each reporting period, the foreign exchange gains and losses are determined based on the amortized cost of the instruments and are recognized as a component of net earnings.

Derecognition of Financial Assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognizes its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a collateralized borrowing for the proceeds received.

On derecognition of a financial asset that is classified as FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss (net of tax) previously accumulated in the long-term investment revaluation reserve is not reclassified to net earnings, but is reclassified to retained earnings.

 

3.6.

Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definition of a financial liability and equity instrument. All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method or at FVTNE, depending on the classification of the instrument.

Equity Instruments

An equity instrument is a contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the proceeds received less direct issue costs (net of any current or deferred income tax recovery attributable to such costs).

Bank Debt

Bank debt is initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Foreign Exchange Gains and Losses

The fair value of financial liabilities denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of each reporting period. Therefore,

 

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2025 ANNUAL REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [14]


Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (US Dollars)

 

   

For financial liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency and are measured at amortized cost at the end of each reporting period, the foreign exchange gains and losses are determined based on the amortized cost of the instruments and are recognized as a component of net earnings; and

 

   

For financial liabilities that are classified as FVTNE, the foreign exchange component forms part of the fair value gains or losses and is recognized as a component of net earnings.

Derecognition of Financial Liabilities

The Company derecognizes financial liabilities when the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized as a component of net earnings.

 

3.7.

Mineral Stream Interests

Agreements for which settlement is called for in gold, silver, palladium or cobalt, the amount of which is based on production at the mines, are stated at cost less accumulated depletion and accumulated impairment charges, if any.

The cost of the asset is comprised of its purchase price, any closing costs directly attributable to acquiring the asset, and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs. The purchase price is the aggregate cash amount paid and the fair value of any other non-cash consideration given to acquire the asset. Certain contracts contain delay ounce provisions whereby should construction of the mine not be completed by an agreed to date, the mine operator must compensate the Company for the delay until certain conditions are satisfied by delivering additional ounces. The value of these ounces on the date first due, net of amounts owed to the mine operator, is treated as a reduction to the cost of the asset. Sale of the resulting ounces received is treated as revenue, with the associated cost of sales being equal to the fair value of the ounces on the date received.

Depletion

The cost of these mineral stream interests is separately allocated to reserves, resources and exploration potential. The value allocated to reserves is classified as depletable and is depleted on a unit-of-production basis over the estimated recoverable proven and probable reserves at the mine corresponding to the specific agreement. The value associated with resources and exploration potential is the value beyond proven and probable reserves at acquisition and is classified as non-depletable until such time as it is transferred to the depletable category as a result of the conversion of resources and/or exploration potential into reserves.

Asset Impairment

Management considers each PMPA to be a separate cash generating unit (“CGU”), which is the lowest level for which cash inflows are largely independent of those of other assets. At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses each PMPA to determine whether any indication of impairment or impairment reversal exists. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the PMPA is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment or impairment reversal (if any). The recoverable amount of each PMPA is the higher of fair value less cost of disposal (“FVLCD”) and value in use (“VIU”). The FVLCD represents the amount that could be received from each PMPA in an arm’s length transaction at the measurement date.

If the carrying amount of the PMPA exceeds its recoverable amount, the PMPA is considered impaired and an impairment charge is reflected as a component of net earnings so as to reduce the carrying amount to its recoverable value. A previously recognized impairment charge is reversed only if there has been an indicator of a potential impairment reversal and the resulting assessment of the PMPA’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying value. If this is the case, the carrying amount of the PMPA is increased to its recoverable amount. The increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depletion, had no impairment charge been recognized for the PMPA in prior years. Such reversal is reflected as a component of net earnings.

 

3.8.

Debt Issue Costs

Debt issue costs on non-revolving facilities are treated as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the original liability and are amortized over the life of the new or modified liability. Debt issue costs on revolving facilities are recorded as an asset under the classification Other long-term assets and are amortized over the life of the new or modified credit facility.

 

3.9.

Stock Based Payment Transactions

The Company recognizes a stock based compensation expense for all share purchase options and restricted share units (“RSUs”) awarded to employees, officers and directors based on the fair values of the share purchase options and RSUs at the date of grant. The fair values of share purchase options and RSUs at the date of grant are expensed over the vesting periods of the share purchase options and RSUs, respectively, with a corresponding increase to equity. The fair value of share purchase options is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with market related inputs as of the date of grant. Share purchase options with graded vesting schedules are accounted for as separate

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (US Dollars)

 

grants with different vesting periods and fair values. The fair value of RSUs is the market value of the underlying shares at the date of grant. At the end of each reporting period, the Company re-assesses its estimates of the number of awards that are expected to vest and recognizes the impact of any revisions to this estimate in the consolidated statement of earnings.

The Company recognizes a stock based compensation expense for performance share units (“PSUs”) which are awarded to eligible employees and are settled in cash. Compensation expense for the PSUs is recorded on a straight-line basis over the three year vesting period. This estimated expense is reflected as a component of net earnings over the vesting period of the PSUs with the related obligation recorded as a liability on the balance sheet. The amount of compensation expense is adjusted at the end of each reporting period to reflect (i) the fair market value of common shares; (ii) the number of PSUs anticipated to vest; and (iii) the anticipated performance factor.

 

3.10.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Current and deferred income taxes are recognized as a component of net earnings except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or as a component of OCI.

Current income tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred income tax is recognized using the liability method on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and which are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax assets are realized or the deferred income tax liabilities are settled.

Deferred income tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred income tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax losses and tax credits to the extent that it is probable that sufficient future taxable income, including income arising from reversing taxable temporary differences and tax planning opportunities, will be available against which those deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax losses and tax credits can be utilized.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries except where the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable income against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income, including income arising from reversing taxable temporary differences and tax planning opportunities, will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be recovered.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are not recognized for temporary differences arising from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction which does not affect either the accounting income or the taxable income. In addition, deferred income tax liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.

 

3.11.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share calculations are based on the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents issued and outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the treasury method which requires the calculation of diluted earnings per share by assuming that outstanding share purchase options with an exercise price that exceeds the average market price of the common shares for the period are exercised, and the proceeds are used to repurchase shares of the Company at the average market price of the common shares for the period.

 

3.12.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount required to settle the obligation.

 

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2025 ANNUAL REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [16]


Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (US Dollars)

 

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

 

3.13.

Post-Employment Benefit Costs

The Company provides a Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“SERP”) to all qualified employees. The SERP is an unregistered and unfunded defined contribution plan under which the Company makes a fixed notional contribution to an account maintained by the Company. Any benefits under the SERP have a vesting period of five years from the first date of employment. The notional contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense in earnings in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.

 

3.14.

Future Changes to Accounting Policies

The International Accounting Standards Board has issued the following new or amended standards:

IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements.

In April 2024, IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements was issued. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements while carrying forward many of the requirements in IAS 1. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements to: i) present specified categories and defined subtotals in the statement of earnings, ii) provide disclosures on management-defined performance measures (MPMs) in the notes to the financial statements, iii) improve aggregation and disaggregation. Some of the requirements in IAS 1 are moved to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. There were also minor amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IAS 33 Earnings per Share in connection with the new standard. IFRS 18 requires retrospective application with specific transition provisions. The Company is required to apply IFRS 18 for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of IFRS 18 on its financial statements.

Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty and Critical Accounting Judgments

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.

Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and judgments made by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements are described below.

Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

 

4.1.

Attributable Reserve, Resource and Exploration Potential Estimates

Mineral stream interests are significant assets of the Company, with a carrying value of $7.4 billion at December 31, 2025, inclusive of early deposit agreements. This amount represents the capitalized expenditures related to the acquisition of the mineral stream interests, net of accumulated depletion and accumulated impairment charges, if any. The Company estimates the reserves, resources and exploration potential relating to each agreement. Reserves are estimates of the amount of metals contained in ore that can be economically and legally extracted from the mining properties in respect of which the Company has PMPAs. Resources are estimates of the amount of metals contained in mineralized material for which there is a reasonable prospect for economic extraction from the mining properties in respect of which the Company has PMPAs. Exploration potential represents an estimate of additional reserves and resources which may be discovered through the mine operator’s exploration program. The Company adjusts its estimates of reserves, resources (where applicable) and exploration potential (where applicable) to reflect the Company’s percentage entitlement to metals produced from such mines. The Company compiles its estimates of its reserves and resources based on information supplied by appropriately qualified persons relating to the geological data on the size, density and grade of the ore body, and require complex geological and geostatistical judgments to interpret the data. The estimation of recoverable reserves and resources is based upon factors such as estimates of foreign

 

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2025 ANNUAL REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [17]


Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (US Dollars)

 

exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital requirements, and production costs along with geological assumptions and judgments made in estimating the size and grade of the ore body. The Company estimates exploration potential based on assumptions surrounding the ore body continuity which requires judgment as to future success of any exploration programs undertaken by the mine operator. Changes in the reserve estimates, resource estimates or exploration potential estimates may impact upon the carrying value of the Company’s mineral stream interests and depletion charges.

 

4.2.

Depletion

As described in Note 3.7, the Company’s mineral stream interests are separately allocated to reserves, resources and exploration potential. The value allocated to reserves is classified as depletable and is depleted on a unit-of-production basis over the estimated recoverable proven and probable reserves at the mine corresponding to the specific agreement. The value associated with resources and exploration potential is the value beyond proven and probable reserves at acquisition and is classified as non-depletable until such time as it is transferred to the depletable category as a result of the conversion of resources and/or exploration potential into reserves. To make this allocation, the Company estimates the recoverable reserves, resources and exploration potential at each mining operation. These calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions, including the amount of contained metals, recovery rates and payable rates. Changes to these assumptions may impact the estimated recoverable reserves, resources or exploration potential which could directly impact the depletion rates used. Changes to depletion rates are accounted for prospectively.

 

4.3.

Impairment of Assets

As more fully described in Note 3.7, the Company assesses each PMPA at the end of every reporting period to determine whether any indication of impairment or impairment reversal exists. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the PMPA is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment or impairment reversal (if any). The calculation of the recoverable amount requires the use of estimates and assumptions such as long-term commodity prices, discount rates, recoverable ounces of attributable metals, and operating performance.

The price of precious metals and cobalt has been volatile over the past several years. The Company monitors spot and forward metal prices and if necessary re-evaluates the long-term metal price assumptions used for impairment testing. Should price levels decline or increase in the future, either for an extended period of time or due to known macro economic changes, the Company may need to re-evaluate the long-term metal price assumptions used for impairment testing. A significant decrease in long-term metal price assumptions may be an indication of potential impairment, while a significant increase in long-term metal price assumptions may be an indication of potential impairment reversal. In addition, the Company also monitors the estimated recoverable reserves and resources as well as operational developments and other matters at the mining properties in respect of which the Company has PMPAs for indications of impairment or impairment reversal. Should the Company conclude that it has an indication of impairment or impairment reversal at any balance sheet date, the Company is required to perform an impairment assessment.

At December 31, 2024, indicators of impairment were identified relative to the Voisey’s Bay PMPA, primarily as a result of significant and sustained decrease in the market price of cobalt over the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to historical price levels. Management estimated that the recoverable amount at December 31, 2024 of the Voisey’s Bay PMPA was less than the carrying amount and accordingly recorded an impairment charge of $109 million. Refer to Note 13 for further information. No such indicators of impairment were identified in 2025.

 

4.4.

Valuation of Stock Based Compensation

As more fully described in Note 3.9, the Company has various forms of stock based compensation, including share purchase options, restricted share units (“RSUs”) and performance share units (“PSUs”). The calculation of the fair value of share purchase options, RSUs and PSUs issued requires the use of estimates as more fully described in Notes 19.1, 19.2, and 20.1, respectively.

Critical Accounting Judgments

 

4.5.

Contingencies

Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal and tax matters are outstanding from time to time, including those matters described in Note 27. By their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment of the outcome of future events. If the Company is unable to resolve any of these matters favorably, there may be a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial performance, cash flows or results of operations. In the event that management’s judgement of the future resolution of these matters changes, the Company will recognize the effects of the changes in its consolidated financial statements in the appropriate period relative to when such changes occur.

4.6.

Income Taxes

The interpretation and application of existing tax laws, regulations or rules in Canada, the Cayman Islands, Luxembourg or any of the countries in which the Company’s subsidiaries or the mining operations are located or to which deliveries of precious metals, precious metal credits or cobalt are made requires the use of judgment. The likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained is assessed based on facts and circumstances of the relevant tax position considering all available evidence. Differing interpretation of these laws, regulations or rules could result in an increase in the Company’s taxes, or other governmental charges, duties or impositions. Refer to Note 27 for more information.

In assessing the probability of realizing deferred income tax assets, the Company makes estimates related to expectations of future taxable income, including the expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences. Such estimates are based on forecasted cash flows from operations which require the use of estimates and assumptions such as long-term commodity prices and recoverable metal ounces. The amount of deferred income tax assets recognized on the balance sheet could be reduced if the actual taxable income differs significantly from expected taxable income. The Company reassesses its deferred income tax assets at the end of each reporting period.

Financial Instruments

 

5.1.

Capital Risk Management

The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern and satisfy its outstanding funding commitments while maintaining a high degree of financial flexibility to consummate new streaming investments.

The capital structure of the Company consists of debt (Note 17) and equity attributable to common shareholders, comprising of issued capital (Note 18), accumulated reserves (Note 19) and retained earnings.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements with the exception of complying with the financial covenant under its sustainability-linked revolving credit facility requiring a capitalization ratio of <= 0.60:1 (Note 17).

The Company is in compliance with the debt covenant at December 31, 2025.

Categories of Financial Assets and Liabilities

Trade receivables from sales of cobalt and other receivables are non-interest bearing and are stated at amortized cost, which approximate fair values due to the short terms to maturity. Where necessary, the other receivables are reported net of allowances for uncollectable amounts. The refundable deposit on the 777 PMPA, which requires a single principal payment at maturity, is carried at amortized cost, which approximates its fair value. All other financial assets are reported at fair value. Fair value adjustments on financial assets are reflected as a component of net earnings with the exception of fair value adjustments associated with the Company’s long-term investments in common shares held. As these long-term investments are held for strategic purposes and not for trading, the Company has made a one time, irrevocable election to reflect the fair value adjustments associated with these investments as a component of Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). Financial liabilities are reported at amortized cost using the effective interest method, which approximate fair values due to the short terms to maturity. The following table summarizes the classification of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities:

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the Company by failing to discharge its obligations. To mitigate exposure to credit risk on financial assets, the Company has established policies to limit the concentration of credit risk, to ensure counterparties demonstrate minimum acceptable credit worthiness and to ensure liquidity of available funds.

The Company monitors its financial assets and does not have a significant concentration of credit risk. The Company invests surplus cash in bank accounts and short-term money market instruments. Finally, counterparties used to sell precious metals are established organizations with minimum acceptable credit worthiness and the balance of trade receivables on these sales in the ordinary course of business is not significant. Therefore, credit risk associated with trade receivables at December 31, 2025 is considered to be negligible.

Liquidity Risk

The Company has in place a rigorous planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis and its expansionary plans. The Company ensures that there are sufficient committed loan facilities to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations and its holdings of cash and cash equivalents. As at December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.2 billion (December 31, 2024 - $818 million) and working capital of $1.0 billion (December 31, 2024 - $799 million).

The Company holds equity investments of several companies (Note 16) with a combined market value at December 31, 2025 of $410 million (December 31, 2024 - $99 million). The daily exchange traded volume of these shares, including the shares underlying the warrants, may not be sufficient for the Company to liquidate its position in a short period of time without potentially affecting the market value of the shares. These shares and warrants are held for strategic purposes and are considered long-term investments and therefore, as part of the Company’s planning, budgeting and liquidity analysis process, these investments are not relied upon to provide operational liquidity. Please see Note 29 for more information.

The following table summarizes the timing associated with the Company’s remaining contractual payments relating to its financial liabilities and performance share units liability. The table reflects the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay (assuming that the Company is in compliance with all of its obligations). The table includes both interest and principal cash flows, where applicable.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its outstanding borrowings and short-term investments. Presently, the Company has no outstanding borrowings, and historically all borrowings have been at floating interest rates. The Company monitors its exposure to interest rates and has not entered into any derivative contracts to manage this

risk. During the year ended December 31, 2025 the weighted average interest rate earned on its cash deposits in interest bearing accounts was 4.1%, as compared to 5.0% during the year ended December 31, 2024.

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, a fluctuation in interest rates of 100 basis points (1 percent) would not have impacted the amount of interest expensed by the Company.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, a fluctuation in interest rates of 100 basis points (1 percent) would have impacted the amount of interest earned by approximately $9 million as compared to $5 million during the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

5.7.

Other Price Risk

The Company is exposed to equity price risk as a result of holding long-term investments in common shares of various companies. The Company does not actively trade these investments.

If equity prices had been 10% higher or lower at the respective balance sheet date, other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have increased/decreased by approximately $41 million and $10 million respectively, as a result of changes in the fair value of common shares held.

 

5.8.

Fair Value Estimation

The Company classifies its fair value measurements within a fair value hierarchy, which reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements as defined in IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurements (“IFRS 13”).

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by IFRS 13, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

When balances are outstanding, the Company’s bank debt (Note 17.1) is reported at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

 

5.8.1.

Valuation Techniques for Level 2 Assets

Accounts Receivable Arising from Sales of Metal Concentrates

The Company’s trade receivables from provisional concentrate sales are valued based on forward price of silver to the expected date of final settlement (Note 6). As such, these receivables and/or liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Long-Term Investments in Warrants Held

The fair value of the Company’s long-term investments in warrants held that are not traded in an active market are determined using a Black-Scholes model based on assumptions including risk-free interest rate, expected dividend yield, expected volatility and expected warrant life which are supported by observable current market conditions and as such are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The use of reasonably possible alternative assumptions would not significantly affect the Company’s results.

The Company would not be materially affected should any of these financial institutions cease to buy precious metal credits from the Company as these sales would be redirected to alternate financial institutions.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2025 ANNUAL REPORT - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [28]


Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (US Dollars)

 

Significant acquisitions, amendments and disposals of mineral stream interests (if any) in the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are outlined below. The percentage of payable production and other key PMPA terms for all mineral stream interests are described in Note 27.

Acquisition of Existing Platreef & Kudz Ze Kayah PMPAs

On February 27, 2024, the Company closed the previously announced agreement with certain entities advised by Orion Resource Partners (“Orion”) to acquire existing streams in respect of Ivanhoe Mines’ Platreef Project (the “Platreef Streams”) and BMC Minerals’ Kudz Ze Kayah (“KZK”) Project (the “Kudz Ze Kayah Streams”). On February 27, 2024, the Company paid $450 million to Orion.

The Platreef Project is located in Johannesburg, South Africa, while the Kudz Ze Kayah stream is located in Yukon, Canada.

Amendment to the Fenix PMPA

On October 21, 2024, the Company amended the Fenix PMPA, in exchange for which, the Company paid an additional upfront cash consideration of $100 million.

Acquisition of the Koné Gold PMPA

On October 23, 2024, the Company entered into a PMPA (the “Koné Gold PMPA”) with Montage Gold Corp. (“Montage”) in respect of its 90% owned Koné Gold Project located in Côte d’Ivoire. Under the terms of the Koné Gold PMPA, the Company is committed to pay Montage total upfront cash payments of $625 million, payable in four equal installment payments during construction, subject to certain conditions. As at December 31, 2025 the Company has made the first three installments.

Acquisition of the Kurmuk PMPA

On December 5, 2024, the Company entered into a PMPA (the “Kurmuk Gold PMPA”) with Allied Gold Corporation (“Allied”) in respect of its Kurmuk project located in Ethiopia. Under the terms of the agreement, Wheaton paid Allied total upfront cash payments of $175 million.

Amendment to the 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, 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. On March 10, 2025, the Company paid Artemis $30 million in connection with this amendment.

Amendment to the Kudz Ze Kayah (“KZK”) PMPA

On October 8, 2025, the Company amended its PMPA with BMC Minerals Ltd. (“BMC”) in respect of the KZK project, with the amendment including the elimination of BMC Minerals’ one-time option to repurchase 50% of the stream for a period of 30 days after June 22, 2026 and the Company’s right to repayment on certain conditions being met. In connection with the amendment, the Company advanced an additional upfront deposit of $2.5 million to BMC at the time of execution and has committed to advance an additional $15 million deposit on KZK achieving certain permitting milestones.

Acquisition of the Spring Valley PMPA

On November 6, 2025, the Company entered into a PMPA (the “Spring Valley PMPA”) with Waterton Gold Corp., a subsidiary of Waterton Gold LP (“Waterton Gold”), in respect of gold production from the Spring Valley project located in Nevada, USA (“Spring Valley”). Under the terms of the Spring Valley PMPA, the Company is committed to pay Waterton Gold total upfront cash consideration of $670 million in installments as various conditions are satisfied, with the initial payment being paid on December 11, 2025. The Company has also provided a cost overrun facility (the “Spring Valley Facility”) of up to $150 million, accessible during an availability period commencing once the full upfront consideration has been paid under the Spring Valley PMPA. The Spring Valley Facility has a maturity date of three years following the first drawdown under the Spring Valley Facility.

Acquisition of the Hemlo PMPA

On November 26, 2025, the Company entered into a PMPA (the “Hemlo PMPA”) with Hemlo Mining Corp. (“Hemlo”) in respect of gold production from the currently operating Hemlo mine located in Ontario, Canada. Under the terms of the Hemlo PMPA, which will deliver immediate production and cash flow to the Company, the Company paid Hemlo total upfront cash consideration of $300 million.

Partial Disposition of the Cangrejos PMPA

On May 16, 2023, the Company entered into a PMPA (the “Cangrejos PMPA”) with Lumina Gold Corp. (“Lumina”) in respect of its 100% owned Cangrejos gold-copper project located in El Oro Province, Ecuador. Under the terms of the agreement, Wheaton was to purchase 6.6% of the payable gold production until 700,000 ounces of gold have been delivered, at which point the stream would be reduced to 4.4% of the payable gold production for the life of the mine.

On June 23, 2025, CMOC Singapore Pte. Ltd., a Singapore entity and a subsidiary of CMOC Group Limited (collectively “CMOC”) announced that it had completed its previously disclosed acquisition of Lumina. As a result of this change of control, on September 16, 2025, CMOC exercised the option to acquire 33% of the stream under the Cangrejos PMPA in exchange for a cash payment in the amount of $102 million, resulting in a gain on the partial disposal of the Cangrejos PMPA in the amount of $86 million, calculated as follows:

 

 (in thousands)      

 Proceeds received on 33% buyback of Cangrejos

   $ 101,730  

 Less: 33% carrying value

     (16,006

 Gain on partial disposal of the Cangrejos PMPA

   $      85,724  

In connection with the exercise of the option, the Company’s attributable gold production has been modified such that the Company will purchase an amount of gold equal to 4.4% (previously 6.6%) of the payable gold production until the Company has received 469,000 ounces of gold under the Cangrejos PMPA, dropping to 2.9% (previously 4.4%) of the payable gold production for the life of the mine.

Voisey’s Bay - Impairment at December 31, 2024

On June 11, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Voisey’s Bay PMPA”) to acquire from Vale an amount of cobalt equal to 42.4% of the cobalt production from its Voisey’s Bay mine, located in Canada, until the delivery of 31 million pounds of cobalt and 21.2% of cobalt production thereafter for the life of mine for a total upfront cash payment of $390 million.

At December 31, 2024, the Company determined there to be an impairment charge relative to the Voisey’s Bay cobalt interest (“Voisey’s Bay PMPA”) due to a significant decline in market cobalt prices. The Voisey’s Bay PMPA had a carrying value at December 31, 2024 of $340 million. Management estimated that the recoverable amount at December 31, 2024 under the Voisey’s Bay PMPA was $231 million, representing its FVLCD and resulting in an impairment charge of $109 million. The recoverable amount related to the Voisey’s Bay PMPA was estimated based on a discounted cash flow model using an average discount rate of 5.5% and the market price of cobalt of $13.62 per pound. As this valuation technique requires the use of estimates and assumptions such as long-term commodity prices, discount rates, recoverable pounds of cobalt and operating performance, it is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Early Deposit Mineral Stream Interests

Early deposit mineral stream interests represent agreements relative to early stage development projects whereby Wheaton can choose not to proceed with the agreement once certain documentation has been received including, but not limited to, feasibility studies, environmental studies and impact assessment studies (please see Note 27 for more information). Once Wheaton has elected to proceed with the agreement, the carrying value of the stream will be transferred to Mineral Stream Interests.

The following table summarizes the early deposit mineral stream interests owned by the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:

Fair Value Gains (Losses) are reflected as a component of OCI.

The Company’s long-term investments in common shares (“LTIs”) are held for long-term strategic purposes and not for trading purposes. As such, the Company has elected to reflect any fair value adjustments, net of tax, as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to net earnings on disposal of these long-term investments but is reclassified to retained earnings.

By holding these long-term investments, the Company is inherently exposed to various risk factors including currency risk, market price risk and liquidity risk.

Credit Facilities

 

17.1.

Sustainability-Linked Revolving Credit Facility

As at December 31, 2025, the Company’s unsecured $2.0 billion revolving credit facility remained undrawn. The maturity was extended by an additional year to June 30, 2030, and a $500 million accordion feature was added. The facility includes sustainability-linked features and a financial covenant requiring a capitalization ratio ≤ 0.60:1, with which the Company was in compliance as at December 31, 2025 and 2024. Interest on drawn amounts is based on the Company’s leverage ratio at SOFR + 1.10% to 2.15%. The standby fee was 0.1966% (2024 – 0.20%).

The Revolving Facility, which is classified as a financial liability and reported at amortized cost using the effective interest method, can be drawn down at any time to finance acquisitions, investments or for general corporate purposes. In connection with the Revolving Facility, there is $5 million unamortized debt issue costs which have been recorded as a long-term asset under the classification Other (see Note 25).

19.1.

Share Purchase Options

The Company has established an equity settled share purchase option plan whereby the Company’s Board of Directors may, from time to time, grant options to employees or consultants. The maximum term of any share purchase option may be ten years, but generally options are granted with a term to expiry of five to seven years. The exercise price of an option is not less than the closing price on the TSX on the last trading day preceding the grant date. The vesting period of the options is determined at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors at the time the options are granted, but generally vest over a period of two or three years.

Each share purchase option converts into one common share of Wheaton on exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options do not carry rights to dividends or voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry, subject to certain black-out periods.

The Company expenses the fair value of share purchase options that are expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the vesting period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value for each option at the date of grant. The Black-Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions. The model requires the use of subjective assumptions, including expected share price volatility. Historical data has been considered in setting the assumptions. Expected volatility is determined by considering the trailing 36-month historic average share price volatility. The weighted average fair value of share purchase options granted and principal assumptions used in applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model are as follows:

19.2.

Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”)

The Company has established an RSU plan whereby RSUs will be issued to eligible employees or directors as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors or the Company’s Compensation Committee. RSUs give the holder the right to receive a specified number of common shares at the specified vesting date. RSUs generally vest over a period of two to three years. Compensation expense related to RSUs is recognized over the vesting period based upon the fair value of the Company’s common shares on the grant date and the awards that are expected to vest. The fair value is calculated with reference to the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the TSX on the business day prior to the date of grant.

RSU holders receive a cash payment based on the dividends paid on the Company’s common shares in the event that the holder of a vested RSU has elected to defer the release of the RSU to a future date. This cash payment is reflected as a component of net earnings under the classification Share Based Compensation.

19.3.

Long-Term Investment Revaluation Reserve

The Company’s long-term investments in common shares (Note 16) are held for long-term strategic purposes and not for trading purposes. The Company has chosen to designate these long-term investments in common shares as financial assets with fair value adjustments being recorded as a component of OCI as it believes that this provides a more meaningful presentation for long-term strategic investments, rather than reflecting changes in fair value as a component of net earnings. As some of these long-term investments are denominated in Canadian dollars, changes in their fair value is affected by both the change in share price in addition to changes in the Cdn$/US$ exchange rate.

Where the fair value of a long-term investment in common shares held exceeds its tax cost, the Company recognizes a deferred income tax liability. To the extent that the value of the long-term investment subsequently declines, the deferred income tax liability is reduced. However, where the fair value of the long-term investment decreases below the tax cost, the Company does not recognize a deferred income tax asset on the unrealized capital loss unless it is probable that the Company will generate future capital gains that will offset the loss.

Share Based Compensation

The Company’s share based compensation consists of share purchase options (Note 19.1), restricted share units (Note 19.2) and performance share units (Note 20.1). The accrued value of share purchase options and restricted share units are reflected as reserves in the shareholder’s equity section of the Company’s balance sheet while the accrued value associated with performance share units is reflected as an accrued liability.

 

20.1.

Performance Share Units (“PSUs”)

The Company has established a Performance Share Unit Plan (“the PSU plan”) whereby PSUs will be issued to eligible employees as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors or the Company’s Compensation Committee. PSUs issued under the PSU plan entitle the holder to a cash payment at the end of a three year performance period equal to the number of PSUs granted, multiplied by a performance factor and multiplied by the fair market value of a Wheaton common share on the expiry of the performance period. The performance factor can range from 0% to 200% and is determined by comparing the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) to those achieved by various peer companies and the price of gold and silver.

Compensation expense for the PSUs is recorded on a straight-line basis over the three year vesting period. The amount of compensation expense is adjusted at the end of each reporting period to reflect (i) the fair value of common shares; (ii) the number of PSUs anticipated to vest; and (iii) the anticipated performance factor.

Earnings per Share (“EPS”) and Diluted Earnings per Share (“Diluted EPS”)

Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the treasury method which assumes that outstanding share purchase options, with exercise prices that are lower than the average market price of the Company’s common shares for the relevant period, are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase shares of the Company at the average market price of the common shares for the relevant period.

Diluted EPS is calculated based on the following weighted average number of shares outstanding:

1)

As at December 31, 2025, the Company had recognized the tax effect on $6 million of non-capital losses against deferred tax liabilities.

2)

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.

3)

Other includes capital assets, PSU and pension liabilities.

4)

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.

Refundable Deposit – 777 PMPA

On August 8, 2012, the Company entered into a PMPA with Hudbay in respect to the 777 mine. Under the terms of the 777 PMPA, should the market value of gold and silver delivered to Wheaton through the initial 40 year term of the contract, net of the per ounce cash payment, be lower than the initial $455 million upfront consideration, the Company is entitled to a refund of the difference (the “Refundable Deposit”) at the conclusion of the 40 year term. On June 22, 2022, Hudbay announced that mining activities at the 777 mine have concluded after the reserves were depleted and closure activities have commenced. The balance of the Refundable Deposit is $78 million.

1)

The production payment is measured as either a fixed amount per ounce of gold delivered, or as a percentage of the spot price of gold on the date of delivery. Contracts where the payment is a fixed amount per ounce of gold delivered are subject to an annual inflationary increase, with the exception of Sudbury. Additionally, should the prevailing market price for gold be lower than this fixed amount, the per ounce cash payment will be reduced to the prevailing market price, subject to an annual inflationary factor.

2)

Subject to an increase to $550 per ounce of gold after the initial 40-year term.

3)

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 October 29, 2025, the fixed gold to silver exchange ratio was revised from 90:1 to 70:1.

4)

To be increased to 22% once the market value of all metals delivered to Wheaton, net of the per ounce cash payment, exceeds the initial upfront cash deposit.

5)

Under certain PMPAs, the Company’s attributable gold percentage will be reduced once certain thresholds are achieved:

 

  a.

Blackwater – reduced to 4% once the Company has received 464,000 ounces of gold.

 

  b.

Platreef - reduced to 50% once the Company has received 218,750 ounces of gold, with a further reduction to 3.125% once the Company has received 428,300 ounces, at which point the per ounce cash payment increases to 80% of the spot price of gold. If certain thresholds are met, including if production through the Platreef project concentrator achieves 5.5 Mtpa, the 3.125% residual gold stream will terminate.

 

  c.

Marmato – reduced to 5.25% once Wheaton has received 310,000 ounces of gold.

 

  d.

Santo Domingo – reduced to 67% once the Company has received 285,000 ounces of gold.

 

  e.

El Domo – reduced to 33% once the Company has received 145,000 ounces of gold.

 

  f.

Marathon – reduced to 67% once the Company has received 150,000 ounces of gold.

 

  g.

Goose – reduced to 1.44% once the Company has received 87,100 ounces of gold, with a further reduction to 1% once the Company has received 134,000 ounces.

 

  h.

Cangrejos – reduced to 2.9% once the Company has received 469,000 ounces of gold.

 

  i.

the First Dropdown Threshold and the Second Dropdown Threshold will be subject to adjustment if there are delays in deliveries relative to an agreed schedule, and commencing in 2033, if deliveries fall behind the agreed schedule by 10,000 ounces or more, the stream percentage will be increased by 5% until deliveries catch up with the agreed schedule. The payable gold will be reduced by half with respect to gold production from certain claims comprising the Interlake deposit

6)

On October 21, 2024, the Company amended the Fenix PMPA. Under the original agreement, the Company was to acquire an amount of gold equal to 6% of the gold production until 90,000 ounces have been delivered, 4% of the gold production until the delivery of a further 140,000 ounces and 3.5% gold production thereafter for the life of mine. Under the revised agreement, the Company is entitled to purchase an additional 16% of payable gold production (22% in total) (subject to adjustment if there are delays in deliveries relative to an agreed schedule). Once Rio2 delivers the incremental 95,000 ounces (as adjusted), the stream reverts to the percentages and thresholds under the original Fenix PMPA (as described). Rio2 has a one-time option to terminate the requirement to deliver the incremental gold production from the end of 2027 until the end of 2029 by delivering 95,000 ounces (as adjusted) less previously delivered gold ounces, excluding those gold ounces which would have been delivered under the original Fenix PMPA.

7)

On February 27, 2024, the Company closed the Orion Purchase Agreement to acquire the Platreef and Kudz Ze Kayah PMPAs.

8)

Until October 23, 2029, there is a price adjustment mechanism under the Koné PMPA

 

  a.

if the spot price of gold is less than $2,100 per ounce, the Company will pay 20% of $2,100 less 25% of the difference between $2,100 and $1,800, less 30% of the difference between $1,800 and the spot price of gold; and

 

  b.

if the spot price is greater than $2,700 per ounce, the Company will pay 25% of the difference between $3,000 and $2,700, plus 30% of the difference between the actual spot price of gold and $3,000.

If Wheaton elects option (ii), Aris Mining may elect to terminate the agreement and Wheaton will be entitled to a return of the amount of the deposit already advanced less $2 million.

Kutcho

Under the terms of the Kutcho Early Deposit Agreement, the Company is committed to pay Kutcho additional upfront cash payments of $58 million, which will be advanced on an installment basis to partially fund construction of the mine once certain conditions have been satisfied.

Tax Contingencies

Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal and tax matters are outstanding from time to time, including audits and disputes.

Under the terms of the settlement with the CRA of the transfer pricing dispute relating to the 2005 to 2010 taxation years (the “CRA Settlement”), income earned outside of Canada by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries will not be subject to tax in Canada under transfer pricing rules. The CRA Settlement principles apply to all taxation years after 2010 subject to there being no material change in facts or change in law or jurisprudence. Bill C-15, Budget 2025 Implementation Act, No. 1, contains proposed amendments to the existing transfer pricing regime under the Tax Act, which could have an impact on the application of the CRA Settlement to taxation years after 2025. Once it is in force, the Company expects to apply the same transfer pricing methodology and achieve a consistent outcome with past periods.

The CRA is not restricted under the terms of the CRA Settlement from issuing reassessments on some basis other than transfer pricing which could result in some or all of the income of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries being subject to tax in Canada.

It is not known or determinable by the Company when any ongoing audits by CRA of international and domestic transactions will be completed, or whether reassessments will be issued, or the basis, quantum or timing of any such potential reassessments, and it is therefore not practicable for the Company to estimate the financial effect, if any, of any ongoing audits. From time to time there may also be proposed legislative changes to law or outstanding legal actions that may have an impact on the current or prior periods, the outcome, applicability and impact of which is also not known or determinable by the Company.

General

By their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events. If the Company is unable to resolve any of these matters favorably, there may be a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial performance, cash flows or results of operations. In the event that the Company’s estimate of the future resolution of any of the foregoing matters changes, the Company will recognize the effects of the change in its consolidated financial statements in the appropriate period relative to when such change occurs.

Subsequent Events

Declaration of Dividend

The Company has increased its quarterly dividend under its dividend policy, setting it at $0.195 per common share for 2026. The declaration, timing, amount and payment of future dividends remain at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

On March 12, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a dividend in the amount of $0.195 per common share, with this dividend being payable to shareholders of record on March 31, 2026 and is expected to be distributed on or about April 10, 2026. The Company has implemented a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) whereby shareholders can elect to have dividends reinvested directly into additional Wheaton common shares based on the Average Market Price, as defined in the DRIP.

Acquisition of Mineral Stream Interest - Antamina

On February 16, 2026, the Company announced it had entered into a definitive PMPA (the “BHP Antamina PMPA”) with BHP Group Limited (“BHP”) for their 33.75% portion of the silver produced at the Antamina Mine located in Peru. Upon closing, Wheaton will receive a combined 67.5% of all the silver produced from Antamina, up from the 33.75% currently delivered under the existing Glencore silver stream.

Under the terms of the BHP Antamina PMPA, the Company will pay BHP total upfront cash consideration of $4.3 billion on closing, subject to certain customary conditions. Additionally, the Company will make ongoing payments for the silver ounces delivered equal to 20% of the spot price of silver. The BHP Antamina PMPA is effective April 1, 2026, from which time the Company will purchase BHP’s 33.75% of the payable silver until a total of 100 million ounces has been delivered, at which point the Company will purchase 22.5% of the payable silver for the life of mine. Payable silver will be calculated using a fixed payable factor of 90.0%.
