Centrus Reports Third Quarter 2022 Results

“While our third quarter results reflected the typical lumpiness attributable to the timing of customer deliveries that we regularly discuss on earnings calls, we continued to see strong momentum across our business segments, as reflected in both our total order book value and in the broader trends toward greater investment in nuclear energy,” said Centrus President and CEO Daniel B. Poneman. “Congress approved a $700 million investment in High-Assay, Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) as part of the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act, and there is growing bipartisan support for further action to jumpstart construction of domestic LEU and HALEU capacity. We look forward to seeing how DOE implements that funding. In the first nine months of 2022, we also secured $270 million in new sales contracts and commitments with contract terms extending through 2030 to support our long-term success. As the only company with a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to produce HALEU, as well as the only domestic operator of deployment-ready enrichment technology in the United States, Centrus is well positioned to serve the growing need for critical fuels for advanced nuclear reactors both domestically and around the world.”
