Factors Likely to Have Shaped Centrus Energy’s Q4 Performance
Centrus Energy’s total revenues increased 30% to $75 million in the third quarter of 2025. Revenues for the Low-Enriched Uranium segment rose 29% year over year to $44.8 million, attributed to uranium sales in the quarter, which contributed $34.1 million. The company had not made any uranium sales in the year-ago quarter. Meanwhile, Separative Work Units revenues were down 69% to $10.7 million due to lower prices.
The company had sold uranium in the third quarter as prices gained steam through the quarter and averaged $82.63 per pound in September. Although prices began the fourth quarter near $80 per pound, they softened to an average of $75.80 in November before rebounding to $81.55 per pound in December. Overall, uranium prices averaged approximately $79.12 per pound in the fourth quarter of 2025, marking a 3% year-over-year increase. We expect Centrus Energy to have capitalized on this pricing environment by selling uranium during the quarter, supporting higher revenues in the LEU segment. Lower Separative Work Units revenues are expected to have offset some of the gains.
The Technical Solutions’ segment revenues climbed 31% to $30 million in the third quarter, driven by a $7.3 million boost from the HALEU Operation Contract, along with contributions from other contracts. We expect this to have repeated in the fourth quarter as well.
Cost of sales is expected to have been higher for both the segments in the fourth quarter, due to higher volumes in the Low-Enriched Uranium segment and an increase in costs incurred under the HALEU Operation Contract in the Technical Solutions segment. Also, increased selling, general and administrative expenses and interest expenses are likely to have somewhat dented earnings in the quarter.
LEU’s Price Performance
Centrus Energy has skyrocketed 195.9% in a year compared with the industry’s 82.9% growth.
