Forward guidance

Centrus Energy Corp. anticipates continued growth and strategic expansion, driven by increasing demand for nuclear fuel, new government contracts, and ongoing investments in production capacity. However, the company faces uncertainties related to Russian uranium import bans and the timing of federal funding distribution.

Tailwinds

  • Rising momentum in the nuclear industry, including the need to fill the enriched uranium supply gap starting in 2028 due to Congress' ban.
  • Mothballed reactors coming back online and technology companies seeking nuclear power for data centers and AI technologies.
  • Secured new government contracts for LEU and HALEU production, and HALEU Deconversion, with significant potential funding.
  • Private financing obtained to support potential expansion of the enrichment plant in Ohio.
  • Investment in centrifuge manufacturing activities and capacity at Oak Ridge to de-risk the supply chain and accelerate deployment.

Headwinds

  • Uncertainty regarding the granting and scope of future waivers for importing LEU from Russia.
  • Risk of Russian authorities not issuing or rescinding specific export licenses for LEU shipments.
  • Potential for delays or inability to deliver LEU from Russia, impacting contractual obligations.
  • Uncertainty regarding the timing and outcome of the review of funding appropriated under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
  • Risks related to the company's ability to secure substantial public and private investment for LEU production capacity expansion.
