New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 2.3% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 2.3% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risk Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (US$2.7m sold). New Risk • Jul 05
New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: US$2.7m This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Recent Insider Transactions • Jul 03

Wheaton Precious Metals and Vale Base Metals Announce Achievement of First Phase Completion Test at Salobo Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (‘Wheaton’ or the ‘Company’), Wheaton Precious Metals International Ltd. (‘Wheaton International’) and Vale Base Metals Limited (‘VBM’) are announced the successful completion of the throughput test for the first phase of the Salobo III expansion project, a significant milestone that demonstrates increased reliability and continued strong performance at VBM's copper project in Brazil. The test required VBM's Salobo complex to run at an average annualized throughput of 32 million tonnes per annum (‘Mtpa’) for a period of 90 days. VBM confirmed completion of the test on November 17, 2023, with an average throughput of 32.3 Mtpa. The Salobo mine historically had a mill throughput capacity of 24 Mtpa, and having now exceeded throughput capacity of 32 Mtpa, is currently ramping up to full capacity of 36 Mtpa, expected in the fourth quarter of 2024. Under the terms of the Salobo precious metals purchase agreement (‘PMPA’), Wheaton International will make a payment to Vale Base Metals totaling $370 million for completion of the first phase of the Salobo III expansion project. The remaining balance of the expansion payment is dependent on the timing of completion and will be triggered once Vale Base Metals expands actual throughput above 35 Mtpa for a period of 90 days. In addition, Wheaton International will be required to make annual payments of between $5.1 million to $8.5 million for a 10-year period following payment of the expansion payments if the Salobo mine implements a high-grade mine plan.

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 5.4% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.2% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results. Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (5.4% increase in shares outstanding).
