Read MoreHide Full Article
Franco-Nevada Corporation (FNV - Free Report) reported adjusted earnings of 95 cents per share in second-quarter 2023, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 83 cents per share. The bottom line decreased 7% year over year.
The company generated revenues of $330 million in the reported quarter, down 6.4% year over year. The downside was driven by lower commodity prices for its diversified assets that offset higher revenues from Precious Metal assets. In the June-end quarter, 78.6% of revenues were sourced from Precious Metal assets (64.8% gold, 10.7% silver and 3.1% platinum group metals).
The company sold 132,033 Gold Equivalent Ounces (GEOs) from precious metal assets in the reported quarter, up from the prior-year quarter’s 131,574 GEOs. The upside was driven by operations at Cobre Panama and Antapaccay successfully returning to full production.
In the reported quarter, adjusted EBITDA was down 8.5% year over year to $276 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 83.5% in the quarter under review.
