OverviewWheaton 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 March 31, 2026, the Company has entered into 43 long-term agreements (35 of which are precious metal purchase agreements, or "PMPAs", three of which are early deposit PMPAs, and five of which are royalty agreements), with 35 different mining companies, related to precious metals and cobalt relating to 22 mining assets which are currently operating, 24 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 three months ended March 31, 2026, the per ounce price paid by the Company for the metals acquired under the agreements averaged $556 for gold, $13.53 for silver, $310 for palladium and $5.23 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.

Gold-equivalent ounces ("GEOs"), which are provided to assist the reader, are based on the following commodity price assumptions: $4,800 per ounce gold; $80.00 per ounce silver; $1,500 per ounce palladium; $2,000 per ounce platinum; and $25.00 per pound cobalt; consistent with those used in estimating the Company's production guidance for 2026.
Represents the increase (decrease) in payable ounces produced but not delivered ("PBND") relative to the various mines that the Company derives precious metals from and, for cobalt, the increase (decrease) of payable pounds PBND. Payable units PBND will be recognized in future sales as they are delivered to the Company under the terms of their contracts. Payable ounces PBND to Wheaton is expected to average approximately two to three months of annualized production for both gold and palladium and two months for silver but may vary from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, including mine ramp-up and the timing of shipments. Please see "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" for material risks, assumptions and important disclosures associated with this information.
Refer to discussion on non-GAAP measures beginning on page 34 of this MD&A.
As at March 31, 2026, cumulative dividends of $2.7 billion have been declared by the Company.
Highlights OperationsFor the three months ended March 31, 2026, relative to the comparable period of the prior year:
Production amounted to 212,000 gold equivalent ounces ("GEOs"), an increase of 22%, primarily due to increased production from Peñasquito, Antamina and Blackwater coupled with the recommencement of production at Aljustrel.
Sales volumes amounted to 181,700 GEOs, a decrease of 3%, primarily the result of relative changes to GEOs produced but not delivered ("PBND"). PBND GEOs increased 12,300 GEOs during the quarter, compared to a decrease of 29,000 GEOs in the same period of the prior year.
Revenue increased 92% or $431 million to $901 million (51% gold, 47% silver, 1% palladium and 1% cobalt), representing a record for the Company, with the increase being primarily due to a 98% increase in realized commodity prices, partially offset by the lower sales volumes.
Gross margin amounted to $699 million (78% of revenue), representing a record for the Company and an increase of $380 million (a 10% 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 75% of revenue during the quarter.
Net earnings amounted to $582 million, representing a record for the Company and an increase of $328 million, primarily due to the increased gross margin, partially offset by higher income taxes resulting from the higher net earnings.
Adjusted net earnings increased 132% or $332 million to $583 million, representing a record for the Company.
Operating cash flow amounted to $766 million, representing a record for the Company, with the $405 million increase being the result of the higher gross margin.
On May 7, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a dividend in the amount of $0.195 per common share.
Corporate Development
On February 16, 2026, the Company entered into a PMPA with BHP Group Limited ("BHP") for their 33.75% portion of the silver produced at the Antamina mine located in Peru.
On April 1, 2026, the Company entered into a PMPA with KGL Resources Limited ("KGL") for a portion of the gold and silver produced at the Jervois project located in Australia.
On April 20, 2026, the Company entered into a Royalty agreement with Spanish Mountain Gold Limited ("Spanish Mountain Gold") for a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty on gold and silver production from the Spanish Mountain Gold project.
Asset Updates
The Company received its first deliveries during the first quarter of 2026 related to the Hemlo, Fenix and Mineral Park PMPAs.
Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. ("Ivanhoe") reports that the Platreef mine is advancing on track, with commercial production expected mid-year.
B2Gold Corp. ("B2Gold") reports that gold production at the Goose mine for Q2 2026 will be approximately 50% lower than Q1 and about 30% below the original Q2 plan due to a fire that occurred in certain areas of the crushing circuit, with repairs estimated to be completed in Q3 2026.
Aris Mining Corporation ("Aris") reports a significant construction milestone at its Marmato gold mine with the underground development crosscut now connecting the new surface decline to the existing underground development, establishing continuous underground access from surface, where the new 5,000 TPD CIP plant is under construction, to the existing workings.
Waterton Copper LP ("Waterton Copper") continued to refine ore commissioning of the newly refurbished concentrator at its Mineral Park project, with the ramp-up efforts in Q1 2026 being focused on achieving stable throughput and gradually increasing both operating uptime and concentrate production. Ramp-up to commercial production is expected to continue in Q2 2026.
Montage Gold Corp. ("Montage") reports that first gold pour through the oxide circuit at the Koné project is anticipated in late Q4 2026, while the hard-rock comminution circuit remains on track for completion in Q2 2027.
Hudbay Mineral Inc. ("Hudbay") reported that they intend to complete the definitive feasibility study at Copper World in mid-2026 with final sanctioning decision expected later in 2026.
Ecuador has signed the exploitation contract for the Cangrejos project, which allows progress in CMOCs development and in the future construction of the mine. After the signing, CMOC can move forward with obtaining the required construction permits for the mine and its facilities.
BMC Minerals Ltd. ("BMC") announced receipt of a positive decision document related to the Kudz Ze Kayah project issued by the Government of Yukon, Natural Resources Canada and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, with BMC reporting that they now aim to make a final investment decision in late 2027, subject to receipt of permits.
Other
As previously announced, and as part of the Company's strategic succession planning, effective March 31, 2026, Haytham Hodaly assumed the role of President and Chief Executive Officer, while Mr. Smallwood transitioned to Chair of the Board. These changes reflect Wheaton's ongoing leadership evolution to support its next phase of growth.
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company made total upfront cash payments of $90 million related to the Spring Valley PMPA ($50 million) and the Marmato PMPA ($40 million), partially offset by a repayment of
$30 million related to the Santo Domingo PMPA, with this amount to be re-advanced at a later date.
Over the same period, the Company monetized select long-term equity investments, generating $323 million of cash proceeds, resulting in a realized gain before tax of $152 million.
Subsequent to the quarter, the Company made additional upfront cash payments of $4.5 billion related to the BHP Antamina PMPA ($4.3 billion), the Koné PMPA ($156 million) and the Spanish Mountain Gold royalty ($22.5 million).
The BHP Antamina PMPA was funded through a combination of the cash on hand at closing, a draw on the Company's previously undrawn $2.0 billion Revolving Facility and a new $1.5 billion non-revolving term loan ("Term Loan") which carries a two-year term to maturity and aligns with the terms of the Company's existing Revolving Facility.
Wheaton's estimated attributable production in 2026 is forecast to be 400,000 to 430,000 ounces of gold, 27 to 29 million ounces of silver, and 19,000 to 21,000 GEOs of other metals, resulting in annual production of approximately 860,000 to 940,000 GEOs2, unchanged from previous guidance. Approximately 3% of the Company's forecast 2026 production is estimated to be delivered from assets currently in construction or various stages of ramp-up.
Annual production is forecast to increase by approximately 50% to 1,200,000 GEOs2 by 2030, with average annual production forecast to remain at 1,200,000 GEOs2 in years 2031 to 2035, also unchanged from previous guidance.

Please refer to the section entitled "Contractual Obligations and Commitments - Mineral Stream Interests" on page 28 of this MD&A for more information.
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 Commitments" on page 30 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.

Please see "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" for material risks, assumptions and important disclosures associated with this information.
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 March 31, 2026, the Company has received approximately $393 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.
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.

Long-Term Equity InvestmentsThe 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
(in thousands) | March 31 2026 | December 31 2025 |
Common shares held Warrants held | $ 161,879 2,338 | $ 407,230 3,265 |
Total long-term equity investments | $ 164,217 | $ 410,495 |
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 ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 is presented below. Please see the Liquidity and Capital Resources on page 25 of this MD&A for more information.

All figures in thousands except gold, palladium and platinum ounces produced.
Quantity produced represents the amount of gold, silver, palladium, platinum 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.
Comprised of the Coleman, Copper Cliff, Garson, Creighton, Stobie and Totten gold interests.
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: Q1 2026 - 294,000 ounces; 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.
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.
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.
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.
GEOs, which are provided to assist the reader, are based on the following commodity price assumptions: $4,800 per ounce gold; $80.00 per ounce silver; $1,500 per ounce palladium; $2,000 per ounce platinum; and $25.00 per pound cobalt; consistent with those used in estimating the Company's production guidance for 2026.

Changes in sales, net earnings and cash flow from operations from quarter to quarter are affected primarily by fluctuations in production at the mines, the timing of shipments, changes in the price of commodities, the
commencement of operations of mines under construction, as well as acquisitions of PMPAs and any related capital raising activities.
Revenue by CommodityRevenue was $901 million (51% gold, 47% silver, 1% palladium and 1% cobalt) during the three months ended March 31, 2026, with the $431 million increase from the comparable period of the previous year due primarily to a 98% increase in the average realized price per GEO sold; partially offset by a 3% decrease 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 periods Q1 2024, Q1 2025 and Q1 2026; and (ii) the commodity mix for Q1 2025 and Q1 2026.

Cash Operating Margin 1From 2024 to 2026, average cash costs¹ rose 80%, increasing from $378 per GEO in Q1 2024 to $681 per GEO in Q1 2026. Over the same period, cash operating margin¹ expanded by 196%, climbing from $1,444 per GEO to
$4,279 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 70% of Q1 2026 revenue, amplify profitability in a rising price environment. Notably, year-over-year margin growth outpaced the 172% 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 March 31, 2026, attributable GEO production was 212,000 ounces, with the 37,600 ounce increase from the comparable period in 2025 being primarily attributable to the following factors:
14,200 ounce or 63% increase from the Other mines (comprised of 4,700 gold ounces and 569,000 silver ounces), primarily due to the resumption of mining at Aljustrel, coupled with the commencement of production at Goose, Hemlo and Fenix;
13,400 ounce or 46% increase from Peñasquito (805,000 silver ounces), primarily the result of higher throughput and grades;
8,400 ounce or 48% increase from Antamina (506,000 silver ounces), primarily due to higher grades and recoveries;
5,500 ounce or 346% increase from Blackwater (comprised of 3,900 gold ounces and 94,000 silver ounces), primarily the result of higher throughput with the mine achieving commercial production in May 2025; and
600 ounce or 22% increase from Voisey's Bay (117,000 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; partially offset by
2,200 ounce or 3% decrease from Salobo primarily the result of lower grades, partially offset by higher throughput and recoveries;
1,100 ounce or 13% decrease from San Dimas, primarily the result of lower grades, consistent with their mine plan; and
700 ounce or 5% decrease from Constancia (comprised of 300 gold ounces and 24,000 silver ounces), primarily due to lower recoveries. Mining activities in the Pampacancha pit were completed during the fourth quarter of 2025 and the remaining stockpiled Pampacancha ore was fully processed during January 2026.
Net Earnings
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net earnings amounted to $582 million, with the $328 million increase relative to the comparable period of the prior year being attributable to the following factors:

Equity settled share based compensation is a non-cash expense.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, share based compensation decreased by $2 million relative to the comparable period in the previous year, primarily the result of 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 ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded an increase in global minimum tax ("GMT") expense of $51 million to $96 million, primarily attributable to higher net earnings from the Cayman Islands subsidiaries, which rose by $339 million.
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). The Company will make the payment for the 2024 year in the amount of Cdn$155 million on or around June 30, 2026, while the payment for the 2025 year in the amount of Cdn$346 million will be paid on or around March 31, 2027. To date, the government of the Cayman Islands has indicated that they do not intend to enact Pillar Two Legislation.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded a current tax expense of $20 million in OCI as a result of the disposition of long-term equity investments. This was partially offset by an $8 million current income tax recovery recognized in net earnings.
Liquidity and Capital Resources1As at March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2.2 billion (December 31, 2025 - $1.2 billion) and no debt outstanding under its Revolving Facility (December 31, 2025 - $NIL).
On April 1, 2026, the Company made the $4.3 billion upfront payment related to the BHP Antamina PMPA. The upfront payment was funded through a combination of the cash on hand at closing, a draw on the Company's previously undrawn $2.0 billion Revolving Facility and a new $1.5 billion Term Loan which carries a two-year term to maturity and aligns with the terms of the Company's existing Revolving Facility.
The Revolving Facility and the Term Loan 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.
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 Commitments section on pages 28 through 33 of this MD&A, as well as providing flexibility to acquire additional accretive mineral stream interests.
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.

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.
Subject to an increase to $550 per ounce of gold after the initial 40-year term.
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. Currently, the fixed gold to silver exchange ratio is 70:1.
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.
Under certain PMPAs, the Company's attributable gold percentage will be reduced once certain thresholds are achieved:
Blackwater - reduced to 4% once the Company has received 464,000 ounces of gold.
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.
Marmato - reduced to 5.25% once Wheaton has received 310,000 ounces of gold.
Santo Domingo - reduced to 67% once the Company has received 285,000 ounces of gold.
El Domo - reduced to 33% once the Company has received 145,000 ounces of gold.
Marathon - reduced to 67% once the Company has received 150,000 ounces of gold.
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.
Cangrejos - reduced to 2.9% once the Company has received 469,000 ounces of gold.
Curraghinalt - reduced to 1.5% once the Company has received 125,000 ounces of gold.
Koné - reduced to 10.8% once the Company has received 400,000 ounces of gold, subject to adjustment if there are delays in deliveries relative to an agreed schedule, with a further reduction to 5.4% once the Company has received an additional 130,000 ounces of gold.
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.
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%.

Hemlo - reduced to 6.75% once the Company has received 135,750 ounces of gold (the "First Dropdown Threshold"), with a further reduction to 4.5% once the Company has received an additional 117,998 ounces of gold (the "Second Dropdown Threshold"), at which point this rate will apply 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.
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.
On February 27, 2024, the Company closed the Orion Purchase Agreement to acquire the Platreef and Kudz Ze Kayah PMPAs.
Until October 23, 2029, there is a price adjustment mechanism under the Koné PMPA:
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
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, which was brought into force effective March 26, 2026, contains 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. For fiscal years after 2025, 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 CapitalDuring the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company received proceeds of $1 million from the exercise of 17,064 share purchase options at a weighted average exercise price of Cdn$59.65 per option. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, a total of 62,041 share purchase options were exercised at a weighted average exercise price of Cdn$55.90 per option, resulting in total cash proceeds to the Company in the amount of $2 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company released 46,442 RSUs, as compared to 69,129 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.
As of May 7, 2026, there were 454,125,089 outstanding common shares, 1,105,853 share purchase options and 225,918 restricted share units.
Financial InstrumentsThe Company owns equity interests in several companies as long-term investments (see page 12 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.
Future Changes to Accounting PoliciesIFRS 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 MeasuresWheaton 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.
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.

Operating cash flow per share (basic and diluted) is calculated by dividing cash generated by operating activities by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (basic and diluted). The Company presents operating cash flow per share 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.

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.

The cost of sales related to delay ounces is a non-cash expense (see footnote 3 on page 8 of this MD&A for more information).
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.

Declaration of Dividend
On May 7, 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 May 27, 2026 and is expected to be distributed on or about June 9, 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 ProceduresDisclosure Controls and Procedures
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, as those terms are defined in National Instrument 52-109 - Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings, for the Company.
Together, the internal control frameworks provide internal control over financial reporting and disclosure. Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting and disclosure may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Further, the effectiveness of internal control is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may change.
There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal controls over financial reporting.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management will continue to monitor and evaluate the design and effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, and may make modifications from time to time as considered necessary.
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.
Attributable Reserves and ResourcesThe following tables set forth the estimated Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources (metals attributable to Wheaton only) for the mines relating to which the Company has PMPAs, adjusted where applicable to reflect the Company's percentage entitlement to such metals, as of December 31, 2025, unless otherwise noted.
