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.
| 1 | 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.

Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for material risks, assumptions and important disclosures associated with this information. |
| 2 | 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. |

| 1) | Abbreviations as follows: FM = First Majestic Silver Corp; BMC = BMC Minerals; PAAS = Pan American Silver Corp; Gen Mining = Generation Mining Ltd.; Waterton = Waterton Copper LP.; Waterton Gold = Waterton Gold LP; ARG = Argentina; BRA = Brazil; CAN = Canada; CHL = Chile; CIV = Côte d’Ivoire, CO = Colombia; ECU = Ecuador; ETH = Ethiopia, GRC = Greece; MEX = Mexico; PER = Peru; PRT = Portugal; SA = South Africa; SWE = Sweden; USA = United States; UK = United Kingdom; NP = Not Producing; and LOM = Life of Mine. |
| 2) | 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). |
| 14) | Once the Company has received 150,000 ounces of gold and 120,000 ounces of platinum under the Marathon PMPA, the attributable gold and platinum production will be reduced to 67% and 15%. |
| 15) | Once the Company has received 87,100 ounces of gold under the Goose PMPA, the Company’s attributable gold production will be 1.44%, and once the Company has received 134,000 ounces of gold under the agreement, the Company’s attributable gold production will be reduced to 1.0%. |
| 16) | During Q3 2025, in connection with its acquisition of Lumina Gold Corp., CMOC exercised its 33% buy-back option under the Cangrejos PMPA for a cash payment of $102 million, resulting in a gain of $86 million on partial disposal of the Cangrejos PMPA. In connection with the exercise of the option, once the Company has received 469,000 ounces of gold under the Cangrejos PMPA, the Company’s attributable gold production will be reduced to 2.9%. |
| 17) | Once the Company has received 125,000 ounces of gold under the Curraghinalt PMPA, the Company’s attributable gold production will be reduced to 1.5%. |
| 18) | Once the Company has received 330,000 ounces of gold and 43.30 million ounces of silver under the Kudz Ze Kayah PMPA, the Company’s attributable gold and silver production will be reduced to 6.125%, with a further reduction to 5.5% until the Company has received an additional 59,800 ounces of gold and 7.96 million ounces of silver, with a further reduction to 5.5% until the Company has received an additional 270,200 ounces of gold and 35.34 million ounces of silver, thereafter increased to 6.75%. |
| 19) | Once the Company has received 400,000 ounces of gold under the Koné PMPA, subject to adjustment if there are delays in deliveries relative to an agreed schedule, the attributable gold production will reduce to 10.8% until an additional 130,000 ounces of gold has been delivered, after which the stream drops to 5.4%. |
| 20) | Once the Company has received 220,000 ounces of gold under the Kurmuk PMPA, the Company’s attributable gold production will be reduced to 4.8%. 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. |
| 21) | Once the Company has received 300,000 ounces of gold under the Spring Valley PMPA, the Company’s attributable gold production will be reduced to 6%. |
| 22) | Once the Company has received 135,750 ounces of gold under the Hemlo PMPA (the “First Dropdown Threshold”), the Company’s attributable gold production will be reduced to 6.75% until an additional 117,998 ounces of gold has been delivered (the “Second Dropdown Threshold”), at which point the Company’s attributable gold production will be 4.50% for the life of the mine. Each of 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. |
| 23) | Once Wheaton has received 140 million ounces of silver under the Antamina PMPA, the Company’s attributable silver production will be reduced to 22.5%. |
| 24) | The term of the Los Filos PMPA ends on October 15, 2029. |
| 25) | The term of the Neves-Corvo and Aljustrel PMPAs ends on June 5, 2057. |
| 26) | Wheaton only has the rights to silver contained in concentrate containing less than 15% copper at the Aljustrel mine. |
| 27) | Previously referred to as Pascua-Lama in this MD&A. |
| 28) | Once Wheaton has received 10 million ounces of silver under the Cozamin PMPA, the Company’s attributable silver production will be reduced to 33%. |
| 29) | Once the Company has received 375,000 ounces of palladium under the Stillwater PMPA, the Company’s attributable palladium production will be reduced to 2.25%, and once the Company has received 550,000 ounces of palladium under the agreement, the Company’s attributable palladium production will be reduced to 1%. |
| 30) | Once the Company has received 31 million pounds of cobalt under the Voisey’s Bay PMPA, the Company’s attributable cobalt production will be reduced to 21.2%. |
Significant amendments and acquisitions (if any) of mineral stream interests during Q4 2025 are outlined below. The percentage of payable production and other key PMPA terms for all mineral stream interests are described in the Contractual Obligations and Contingencies section of this MD&A starting on page 36 of the MD&A.
Acquisition of Mineral Stream Interests
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 (“Waterton Gold”), in respect of gold production from the Spring Valley project located
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.
WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2025 ANNUAL REPORT- MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [10]
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.

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. Once Wheaton has elected to proceed with the agreement, the carrying value of the stream will be transferred to Mineral Stream Interests.

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:

| 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. |

commencement of operations of mines under construction, as well as acquisitions of PMPAs and any related capital raising activities.
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.
WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2025 ANNUAL REPORT- MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [19]
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.

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; |
| ● | 20,700 ounce increase from Blackwater (comprised of 15,400 gold ounces and 456,000 silver ounces), with the mine achieving commercial production in May 2025; |
| ● | 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. |
Net Earnings
For the year ended December 31, 2025, net earnings amounted to $1.5 billion, with the $943 million increase relative to the comparable period of the prior year being attributable to the following factors:

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, share based compensation decreased by $4 million relative to the comparable period in the previous year, while for the year ended December 31, 2025, share based compensation increased by $9 million relative to the comparable period in the previous year. The year-over-year change primarily reflects differences in accrued costs related to the Company’s performance share units (PSUs), as the impact of a higher share price was offset by a lower estimated performance factor at maturity.

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.
| 1 | 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. |

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. |

| 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. |

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.
WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2025 ANNUAL REPORT- MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [40]
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.
For 2026, 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

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2025 ANNUAL REPORT- MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [41]
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. |

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.

Although Wheaton has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be
WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2025 ANNUAL REPORT- MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [62]
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.
