Centrus Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results

(Positive)
Tags

Centrus Energy (NYSE: LEU) reported Q2 2026 revenue of $176.1 million, up 14% from $154.5 million in Q2 2025. GAAP net income was $16.8 million versus $28.9 million, while non-GAAP adjusted net income rose to $38.7 million from $34.5 million.

LEU segment revenue increased 22% to $153.4 million, including $53.4 million of uranium sales, while SWU revenue declined $25.7 million on 23% lower volume and 3% higher pricing. Technical Solutions revenue fell 21% to $22.7 million and shifted from a $3.2 million gross profit to a $1.7 million gross loss, largely tied to the HALEU Operation Contract.

Centrus signed a $900 million HALEU enrichment award with the U.S. Department of Energy, a large-scale commercial HALEU supply agreement that may include prepayments, and grew contingent LEU/HALEU backlog to $3.0 billion within a total company backlog of $4.5 billion.

For 2026, Centrus guides to $450–$500 million in total revenue and $350–$500 million in capital deployment, and expects to complete its first new centrifuge in Oak Ridge by year-end while significantly expanding hiring in Oak Ridge and Piketon.

News Explained

Approximately $0.8 billion of Technical Solutions backlog is tied to a DOE contract whose proposed fiscal 2027 budget has no further funding.

Centrus Energy reported second-quarter results and selected Geiger Brothers as construction contractor for a major uranium-enrichment expansion; the project is at a contractor-selection stage, while completion of the first Oak Ridge centrifuge remains expected by year-end 2026.

About $0.8 billion of Technical Solutions backlog is tied to the HALEU Operation Contract; the proposed fiscal year 2027 DOE budget includes no further funding, and DOE does not currently intend to exercise additional options.

In plain terms, Technical Solutions backlog can combine funded amounts with unfunded amounts and unexercised options, so the reported backlog is not uniformly funded or presently exercisable.

The material watch items are the fiscal year 2027 DOE budget and any formal decision on further HALEU Operation Contract options, which address the funding and option status identified in the release.

Key Terms

haleu, non-gaap adjusted net income, separative work units, stock-based compensation
4 terms
haleu technical
"Signed $900 million High-Assay, Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) Enrichment award contract"
HALEU (high-assay low-enriched uranium) is uranium fuel enriched to a higher level than traditional reactor fuel but below weapons-grade, roughly like a higher-octane gasoline for nuclear reactors. It matters to investors because this fuel enables newer, smaller and more efficient reactors to run longer or produce more power from less material, so availability, regulation and production costs can affect utilities, reactor developers and mining companies’ prospects.
non-gaap adjusted net income financial
"Non-GAAP adjusted net income (1) of $38.7 million"
A company’s non-GAAP adjusted net income is its reported profit after management removes certain expenses or gains that it considers one-time, nonrecurring, or not part of core operations (for example, restructuring costs or stock-based pay). Investors watch it as an attempt to show the company’s ongoing earning power — like looking at a cleaned-up weekly budget — but because companies choose what to exclude, it’s important to compare the underlying details rather than the headline number alone.
separative work units technical
"Separative work units (SWU) revenue decreased by $25.7 million"
Separative work units (SWU) measure the amount of physical effort and energy required to increase the concentration of the fissile isotope in uranium fuel, essentially quantifying how hard it is to separate usable nuclear material from less useful material. Think of it like the labor and energy needed to concentrate sugar from a dilute solution: more SWU means higher processing cost and longer production time. For investors, SWU levels affect the cost, capacity, supply chain timing and regulatory footprint of nuclear fuel producers and utilities, influencing margins, project viability and geopolitical supply risks.
stock-based compensation financial
"We incur expense related to stock-based compensation"
Stock-based compensation is when a company pays employees, directors or consultants with shares or the right to buy shares instead of or in addition to cash. It matters to investors because issuing stock or options spreads ownership thinner (like cutting a pie into more slices), which can reduce each existing share’s claim on profits and can also change reported earnings; investors watch it to assess true cost of running the business and how management is incentivized.

BETHESDA, Md., Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Centrus Energy Corp. (NYSE: LEU) ("Centrus" or the "Company") today reported second quarter 2026 results. The Company reported net income of $16.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, which is $0.85 (basic) and $0.77 (diluted) per common share. This translates to adjusted net income(1) of $38.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, which is adjusted EPS(1) of $1.95 (basic) and $1.77 (diluted) per common share.

Centrus Energy Corp., Bethesda, MD

"This was another strong quarter of financial and operational progress for Centrus that included a number of commercial wins for our future enrichment business as we capitalize on strong industry tailwinds and our operational momentum," said Centrus Energy President and CEO Amir Vexler.

"Operationally we continued on full-execution mode for our centrifuge manufacturing and expansion programs. Our strategy includes risk-reducing measures like locking in a majority of the suppliers deemed critical with larger commitments to help insulate the project from potential price fluctuations. Simultaneously, we further strengthened our financial position by signing our HALEU award while securing possible prepayments from offtakers. Our progress has allowed us to announce that our first new centrifuge will be competed in Oak Ridge before the end of the year."

"In general, we continue to see healthy demand momentum with consistent constrained supply, resulting in upward pressure on SWU prices. Our operational progress coupled with strong demand signals across all our end-markets has provided Centrus with strong backlog growth and momentum, and we look forward to further capitalizing on our position as the only publicly-traded, proven enricher in the market."

(1)A reconciliation of non-GAAP results are detailed in the Financial Results section. Additional information can be found in the materials on the Centrus investor relations website at https://investors.centrusenergy.com.

Financial Results

Centrus generated total revenue of $176.1 million and $154.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $21.6 million (or 14%).

Revenue from the LEU segment was $153.4 million and $125.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $27.7 million (or 22%). The Company had uranium revenue of $53.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026. Separative work units (SWU) revenue decreased by $25.7 million as a result of a 23% decrease in the volume of SWU sold, partially offset by a 3% increase in the average price of SWU sold.

Revenue from the Technical Solutions segment was $22.7 million and $28.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, a decrease of $6.1 million (or 21%). The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a $5.9 million decrease in revenue generated by the HALEU production contract with the Department of Energy ("DOE") signed in 2022 ("HALEU Operation Contract"), while the remaining change was related to other contracts. Revenue from the HALEU Operation Contract is recorded on a cost-plus-incentive-fee basis and includes a target fee for Phases 2 and 3 of the contract.

Cost of sales for the LEU segment was $101.8 million and $75.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $26.8 million (or 36%). Uranium costs increased primarily as a result of an increase in the volume of uranium sold. SWU costs decreased as a result of a 23% decrease in the volume of SWU sold, partially offset by a 13% increase in the average unit cost of SWU sold.

Cost of sales for the Technical Solutions segment was $24.4 million and $25.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, a decrease of $1.2 million (or 5%). The decrease was primarily attributable to an $1.9 million decrease in costs incurred under the HALEU Operation Contract, while the remaining change was generally attributable to other contracts.

The Company recognized gross profit of $49.9 million and $53.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, a decrease of $4.0 million (or 7%).

Gross profit for the LEU segment was $51.6 million and $50.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $0.9 million (or 2%). LEU customers generally have multi-year contracts that carry annual purchase commitments, not quarterly commitments. The gross profit in our LEU business varies based upon the timing of those contracts. The pricing applied to deliveries varies depending upon the market conditions at the time the contract was signed. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to the change in the composition of contracts quarter over quarter.

Gross profit (loss) for the Technical Solutions segment was a loss of $1.7 million and profit of $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, a decrease of $4.9 million (or 153%). The decrease was primarily attributable to the HALEU Operation Contract.

Net income was $16.8 million and $28.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, a decrease of $12.1 million (or 42%). The decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in selling general, and administrative costs of $12.8 million (driven by the $17.2 million increase in stock-compensation expense related to non-employee tax withholdings of RSUs), an increase in advanced technology costs of $7.5 million and a decrease in gross profit of $4.0 million. This was partially offset by an increase of $8.3 million in investment income and a decrease of $3.7 million in income tax expense.

Backlog

The Company's backlog across both segments is $4.5 billion as of June 30, 2026 and extends to 2040. Our LEU segment backlog as of June 30, 2026 is approximately $3.7 billion. The LEU backlog is the estimated aggregate dollar amount of revenue for future SWU and uranium deliveries primarily under medium and long-term contracts with fixed commitments and approximately $3.0 billion in contingent LEU and HALEU sales commitments, a $2.4 billion of which are under definitive agreements, in support of potential construction of LEU and HALEU production capacity at the Piketon, Ohio facility. The contingent sales commitments tend to relate to achievement of operational milestones. Our Technical Solutions segment backlog is approximately $0.8 billion as of June 30, 2026, and includes both funded amounts (services for which funding has been both authorized and appropriated by the customer), unfunded amounts (services for which funding has not been appropriated), and unexercised options. The current DOE budget proposed for fiscal year 2027 does not include further funding for the operation of the HALEU cascade under the HALEU Operation Contract, which represents approximately $0.8 billion of the Technical Solutions backlog as of June 30, 2026. Separately, DOE has communicated that it does not currently intend to exercise further options under the HALEU Operation Contract.

2026 Outlook

The Company is updating some of its financial and operational guidance for the full year 2026 based on information available to the Company at the time of this release.

Financial 2026 Outlook
For the full year 2026, on a consolidated basis, Centrus expects:

  • Total revenue to be in the range of $450 million to $500 million
  • Total capital deployment to be in the range of $350 million to $500 million, driven by increased investment in the Company's industrial build out related to its centrifuge manufacturing

Operational 2026 Outlook
For the full year 2026, on a consolidated basis, Centrus expects to:

  • Finalize contracts with all partners identified as critical to its industrial build out
  • Hire at least 100 net new employees for its Oak Ridge, Tennessee, facility
  • Hire at least 175 net new employees for its Piketon, Ohio, facility up from 100 net new employee hires
  • Release a Certified for Construction package
  • Complete its first centrifuge in Oak Ridge, Tennessee

The Company's 2026 guidance is subject to a number of assumptions and uncertainties that could affect results either positively or negatively. Variations from these expectations could cause differences between this guidance and the ultimate results. This includes the assumption of no significant change in restrictions in our ability to receive and sell Russian LEU or other uranium products, no significant economic disruptions or downturns, the successful implementation of our planned expansion projects, and that current business operations will continue on an ongoing basis.

CENTRUS ENERGY CORP.
NON-GAAP ADJUSTED OPERATING INCOME, ADJUSTED NET INCOME AND
ADJUSTED NET INCOME PER SHARE RECONCILIATION TABLE

The Company measures Operating Income, Net Income and Net Income per Share both on a GAAP basis and on an adjusted basis ("Adjusted Operating Income", "Adjusted Net Income" and "Adjusted Net Income per Share") to exclude short-term, non-capitalizable costs related to the expansion of our operations in Piketon, Ohio and Oak Ridge, Tennessee to scale up uranium enrichment operations ("Growth Costs") and stock-based compensation. Growth Costs relate to the initial phase of our expansion projects (e.g. manufacturing readiness and the training and onboarding of new employees) and are included as Advanced Technology Costs on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The Company expects to stop expensing Growth Costs as costs related to our expansion projects become capitalizable. We incur expense related to stock-based compensation which are included as Selling, General and Administrative expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

We believe Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share, which are non-GAAP financial measures, provide investors with additional understanding of the Company's overall financial performance as well as its strategic financial planning analysis and period-to-period comparability. These metrics are useful to investors because they reflect how management evaluates the Company's ongoing operating performance from period-to-period after removing certain transactions and activities that affect comparability of the metrics and are not reflective of the Company's core operations.

Our calculation of Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per Share may not be comparable to similarly named measures reported by other companies.

The following tables present a reconciliation of the operating income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted Operating Income, a reconciliation of the net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted Net Income, and a reconciliation of the net income per share, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted Net Income Per Share, for each of the periods indicated:
