Gold, silver and palladium units produced and sold are expressed in ounces, while cobalt units are expressed in pounds. All figures are in thousands, except for ounces of gold and palladium produced and sold and unit quantities.
2)
The quantity produced represents the amount of gold, silver, palladium, and cobalt contained in the concentrate or gold before deductions for smelting or refining. Production figures are based on data provided through operators of mining operations to which mining interests relate or on management estimates under conditions where other data is not available. Some production figures are likely to be updated over longer periods as more data becomes available.

The units of gold, silver, and palladium produced and sold are expressed in ounces, while cobalt is expressed in pounds. All figures are in thousands, except for ounces of gold and palladium produced and sold and unit quantities.
2)
The quantity produced represents the amount of gold, silver, palladium, and cobalt contained in the concentrate or gold before deductions for smelting or refining. Production figures are based on data provided through operators of mining operations to which mining interests relate or on management estimates under conditions where other data is not available. Some production figures are likely to be updated over longer periods as more data becomes available.

Non-IFRS measures
Wheaton has included in this document certain non-IFRS measures of functionality, adding (i) adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings consistent with a consistent percentage; (ii) consistent cash flow with consistent percentage (basic and diluted); (iii) the average money prices of gold, silver, and palladium per ounce and cobalt per pound; and (iv) money consistent with the hedging margin.
I.
Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings consistent with the percentage are calculated through the effects of non-cash impairment fees (reversals) (if any), non-cash losses (gains) at fair price and other non-recurring expenses (revenues) as well as the reversal of the non-cash income tax expense (recovery) that is offset through the income tax expense (recovery) recorded in equity states and other sources of global revenue, respectively. The Company believes that in addition to traditional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, they monitor and ensure that investors use this data to compare the Company’s consistent performance.
The following table provides a reconciliation of adjusted earnings to adjusted earnings consistent with percentage (basic and diluted).
