Centrus Energy Corp. (NYSE American: LEU) is a trusted supplier of enriched uranium fuel for both domestic and international nuclear power plants. For over 50 years, Centrus has maintained a tradition of reliability, ensuring all customer shipments are made on time and within specification.
The company operates through two main segments: Low-Enriched Uranium (LEU) and Technical Solutions. The LEU segment covers the sale of separative work units and uranium, forming the majority of the company's revenue. The Technical Solutions segment offers engineering, design, and manufacturing services to both government and private sector customers.

This includes their latest initiative to produce High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) at their American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon, Ohio, ahead of schedule and under budget. This plant, the first new U.S.-owned uranium enrichment facility to begin production since 1954, is a significant milestone in restoring domestic uranium enrichment capabilities. HALEU is a critical component for next-generation reactors, making Centrus a key player in the future of nuclear energy.
Since 1998, Centrus has provided utility customers with more than 1,750 reactor years of fuel, equivalent to 7 billion tons of coal, further cementing their role in offering clean, affordable, carbon-free electricity. Their advancements in centrifuge technologies ensure the U.S. can sustain its nuclear energy capabilities and meet growing global energy demands.
Among its notable achievements, between 1995 and 2013, Centrus participated in the Megatons to Megawatts program, which recycled 500 metric tons of weapons-grade uranium from dismantled Russian nuclear warheads, equivalent to 20,000 warheads, into low-enriched uranium for electricity generation.
Financially, Centrus has demonstrated solid performance, with significant revenue contributions from both its LEU and Technical Solutions segments. The company's recent financial results include a net income of $8.2 million for Q3 2023, a net income of $84.4 million for the year 2023, and strong contingent LEU sales commitments worth approximately $900 million.
