Cameco Q1 2025: $789M revenue (+24%), $70M net earnings as long-term pricing offsets spot weakness

Cameco reported Q1 2025 consolidated revenue of $789 million, up 24% year-over-year, with gross profit rising 44% to $270 million. Net earnings attributable to equity holders were $70 million, or $0.16 diluted EPS, versus a $7 million net loss and $(0.02) per share a year ago; adjusted net earnings were also $70 million ($0.16 adjusted diluted EPS). Adjusted EBITDA was $353 million, up 5% from Q1 2024 and in line with unchanged 2025 outlook. Uranium segment results were pressured by JV Inkai sales timing despite higher average realized prices from fixed-price contracts and a stronger U.S. dollar; fuel services net earnings and adjusted EBITDA more than doubled on higher volumes, a 17% rise in average realized price, and lower unit costs. Westinghouse reported a $62 million net loss (Cameco's share), improving from a $123 million loss, with adjusted EBITDA of $92 million versus $77 million prior year. Cameco ended the quarter with $361 million in cash and $1.0 billion in undrawn credit capacity after repaying the final $200 million Westinghouse acquisition term loan.

  • Consolidated revenue rose 24% to $789M; gross profit up 44% to $270M; net earnings $70M ($0.16 EPS).
  • Adjusted net earnings and adjusted EBITDA were $70M and $353M, respectively, tracking unchanged 2025 outlook.
  • Uranium earnings fell 10% on JV Inkai sales timing; fuel services earnings more than doubled on pricing and volume.
  • Westinghouse net loss improved to $62M (Cameco share); segment adjusted EBITDA rose to $92M from $77M.
  • Balance sheet strengthened with $361M cash, final $200M acquisition debt repaid, and $49M Westinghouse distribution received.

Forward guidance

Management maintained its unchanged 2025 consolidated outlook; Westinghouse adjusted EBITDA is expected at $355–405 million (US) for the full year with weaker first-half results and stronger Q4 cash flows.

Tailwinds

  • Average realized uranium price rose year-over-year even as spot prices fell 30%, validating long-term contracting strategy
  • Production on track at McArthur River/Key Lake and Cigar Lake; strong fuel services momentum

Headwinds

  • Uranium segment EBITDA pressured by JV Inkai sales timing and 11% higher unit cost of sales
  • Westinghouse continues to report net losses due to acquisition-related intangible amortization
