Insights

Financial Analyst

Energy Fuels' 2024 results reveal a transformational year as the company executes its strategic pivot from a pure-play uranium producer to a diversified critical minerals powerhouse. Despite reporting a $47.84 million net loss on $78.11 million revenue, the company's financial position remains exceptionally strong with $170.9 million working capital and zero debt, recently bolstered by an additional $60 million capital raise.

The reported loss requires context - approximately $10.34 million stems from one-time acquisition costs related to Base Resources and the Donald Project joint venture. Importantly, the company's core uranium business demonstrates remarkable profitability potential, achieving a 56% gross margin on uranium sales at prices ranging from $75.13 to $91.51 per pound.

Energy Fuels' inventory strategy signals management's confidence in rising uranium prices. The company is deliberately building inventory (1.12 million pounds U3O8) rather than maximizing immediate sales, positioning for potentially higher future prices while ensuring ability to fulfill long-term contracts. By year-end 2025, they project holding 1.66-2.34 million pounds of U3O8.

The successful commissioning of the Phase 1 REE separation circuit represents a critical milestone in establishing a non-Chinese rare earth supply chain. With 38,000 kg of separated NdPr now undergoing customer qualification, Energy Fuels has demonstrated technical capability in one of the most challenging aspects of rare earth production.

The acquisition of Base Resources transforms Energy Fuels' growth trajectory, particularly through the Toliara Project in Madagascar. The recent lifting of the development suspension by the Malagasy government and subsequent MOU signing removes a significant barrier to advancement. This project not only provides HMS products (titanium and zirconium minerals) but also creates a synergistic monazite stream that can feed the company's White Mesa Mill REE circuit, enhancing vertical integration.

With multiple development projects advancing toward FID (Toliara in early 2026, Donald in late 2025), Energy Fuels is positioning to become a globally significant producer of multiple critical minerals essential for clean energy and defense applications, while maintaining its core uranium business that benefits from improving market fundamentals.

Commodities Specialist

Energy Fuels' 2024 results showcase the company's successful implementation of a unique multi-commodity strategy that positions it at the intersection of several critical mineral supply chains with significant national security implications. The company has established itself as the only commercial producer of separated rare earth products in North America, while simultaneously expanding its uranium production and acquiring world-class heavy mineral sands assets.

The company's uranium operations demonstrate exceptional economics in the current market environment, achieving a 56% gross margin on sales averaging $75-91 per pound. With spot uranium at $65.25/lb and term prices at $82/lb as of February 21, Energy Fuels' decision to stockpile production rather than maximize immediate sales suggests management anticipates further price appreciation. The company's expanding inventory position (projected to reach 1.66-2.34 million pounds by year-end 2025) represents a significant store of value not fully reflected on the balance sheet, which carries inventory at cost ($37.19 million) versus current market value of approximately $45.60 million.

The strategic acquisition of Base Resources fundamentally transforms Energy Fuels' growth profile by adding the Toliara Project in Madagascar – one of the world's premier undeveloped heavy mineral sands deposits. Beyond its standalone value producing titanium minerals and zircon, Toliara creates powerful synergies with Energy Fuels' rare earth business by providing a low-cost monazite stream that can feed the White Mesa Mill. This vertical integration from mineral sands mining through to separated rare earth products creates a competitive advantage few companies globally can match.

The successful commissioning of the Phase 1 REE separation circuit represents a critical milestone in establishing a non-Chinese rare earth supply chain. With product qualification underway with potential customers, Energy Fuels is positioned to benefit from increasing government support for domestic critical mineral production through initiatives like the Inflation Reduction Act and Defense Production Act.

The company's diversified approach provides natural hedging against commodity price volatility while creating multiple avenues for growth. With the uranium market showing sustained strength, rare earth prices stabilizing after recent volatility, and titanium feedstock markets remaining robust, Energy Fuels has strategically positioned itself across complementary markets with strong long-term fundamentals driven by energy transition and defense applications.

DENVER, Feb. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU)( TSX: EFR) ("Energy Fuels" or the "Company"), a leading U.S. producer of uranium, rare earth elements ("REE"), and heavy mineral sands ("HMS"), today reported its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company previously announced details for its upcoming February 27, 2025 earnings call, which are also included in this news release.

"2024 was a fundamental building year for Energy Fuels, as we resumed U.S. uranium mining, realized profitable uranium sales, achieved commercial U.S. rare earth production, and secured two 'Tier 1' critical mineral projects in allied nations, which upon development, are expected to be able to provide low-cost rare earth feedstocks to our U.S. processing plant, while supporting additional stability, growth, and revenues for decades" said Mark Chalmers, Energy Fuels' President and Chief Executive Officer. "We also continue to maintain our strong, clean balance sheet, while adding valuable assets and accomplishing key goals in the U.S. critical mineral space.

"These accomplishments demonstrate our success as a nimble, innovative company, making strategic decisions that we believe will support significant future profitability, while contributing to U.S. economic and national security. Put simply, we are leveraging the Company's unique attributes to produce several in-demand critical materials, each with a valuable potential upside. We believe diversifying into high-growth and potentially high-margin rare earth, mineral sand, and potential medical isotope markets, while generating near-term cashflow from our core uranium business, will drive long-term value for our shareholders and position the Company for a vital role in securing domestic critical mineral supply chains and helping to achieve American energy dominance.

"Due to our accomplishments and successes in 2024, Energy Fuels is now well positioned to take advantage of numerous emerging opportunities in uranium, rare earths, mineral sands, and potentially medical isotopes. These initiatives are all part of our strategic plan to leverage existing licenses, infrastructure, and expertise to evolve beyond previous limitations that depended upon a single commodity, and set the standard for a multi-commodity, U.S. critical minerals provider of the future."

2024 Highlights

Unless noted otherwise, all dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars.

• Robust Balance Sheet with Over $170 million of Liquidity and No Debt: As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $170.90 million of working capital including $38.60 million of cash and cash equivalents, $80.85 million of marketable securities (interest-bearing securities and uranium stocks), $37.76 million of trade and other receivables, $66.50 million of inventory, and no debt.
• Over $60 Million of Cash Added to Treasury in Early-2025: Between the end of 2024 and February 14, 2025, the Company raised an additional $60.01 million on its At-The-Market facility, to support expected costs associated with advancing the Toliara and Donald Projects to Financial Investment Decisions ("FID") and potential commencement of development activities.
• Over $8 Million of Additional Liquidity from Market Value of Inventory: At February 24, 2025 commodity prices, the Company's product inventory has a market value of approximately $45.60 million, while the balance sheet reflects product inventory carried at cost of $37.19 million.
• Incurred Net Loss of $48 Million on $78 Million of Revenue: During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $47.84 million, or $0.28 per common share, on $78.11 million of revenue. The loss was primarily due to one-time transaction and integration costs that totaled $10.34 million related to the acquisition of Base Resources and the Donald Project joint venture (described below), recurring operating expenses, and additional operating expenses associated with the increased headcount of retained Base Resources employees and Kwale HMS mine reclamation costs, partially offset by sales of natural uranium concentrates ("U₃O₈") and mineral sand products.
• Uranium Revenue: During 2024, the Company sold a total of 450,000 pounds of U₃O₈, including 200,000 pounds under long-term contracts for a realized price of $75.13 per pound of U₃O₈ and 250,000 pounds under spot contracts for a weighted average realized price of $91.51 per pound of U₃O₈, earning a gross profit of $21.32 million (56% gross margin).
• Heavy Mineral Sands Revenue: During 2024, the Company sold 17,529 tonnes of rutile, 48,302 tonnes of ilmenite, both used for the production of titanium products, and 2,477 tonnes of zircon, used for the production of zirconium, for total HMS revenues of $39.87 million.
• New Long-Term Uranium Sales Contract with U.S. Utility: During 2024, the Company added a fourth long-term uranium sales contract to its existing portfolio. Under the contract, the Company expects to deliver a total of 270,000 to 330,000 pounds of uranium between 2026 and 2027, and potentially an additional 180,000 to 220,000 pounds through 2029, under a "hybrid" pricing formula, subject to floor and ceiling prices, that maintains exposure to further uranium market upside and protection from inflation.
• "Phase 1" REE Separation Circuit Successfully Commissioned: During 2024, the Company successfully completed final commissioning of the Phase 1 REE separation circuit at the Company's White Mesa Mill (the "Mill") resulting in the production of approximately 38,000 kg of 'on-spec' separated NdPr.
• Samples of NdPr Actively Being Qualified by Potential Customers: NdPr produced at the Mill is currently in the process of being qualified with permanent magnet manufacturers and other potential customers which, upon successful qualification, would set the stage for potential offtake in the future.
• Well-Stocked to Capture Market Opportunities and meet Long-term Contract Obligations: As of December 31, 2024, the Company held a total of 1,118,000 pounds of U₃O₈ in inventory, including 393,000 pounds of finished U₃O₈ and 725,000 pounds of U₃O₈ in stockpiled uranium ore inventories and work-in-progress. This inventory increased from last year due to Pinyon Plain, La Sal and Pandora mine ore production and additional alternate feed materials received, partially offset by our contract and spot sales during 2024. The Company expects these uranium inventories to continue increasing as we continue to mine additional ore and potentially purchase ore from third parties. The Company also held 7,043 tonnes of rutile, 11,422 tonnes of ilmenite, 1,255 tonnes of zircon, 905,000 pounds of finished vanadium ("V₂O₅"), 38,000 kg of finished separated neodymium praseodymium ("NdPr") and 9,000 kg of finished high purity, partially separated mixed "heavy" samarium-plus ("SM⁺") rare earth carbonate ("RE Carbonate") in inventory.

Uranium Milestones:

• The Company expects to mine and stockpile ore from its Pinyon Plain, La Sal and Pandora mines totaling approximately 730,000 to 1,170,000 pounds of U₃O₈ contained in approximately 85,000 to 115,000 tons of ore from these mines during 2025, subject to market conditions, mining rates and other factors. The Company also expects to purchase uranium ore from third-party miners in the region, and there is the potential to receive additional Alternate Feed Materials and mine cleanup materials, expected to add a total of approximately 160,000 to 200,000 pounds of additional contained uranium to ore inventories, all of which will be processed as market conditions, Mill schedules, and contract requirements may warrant. In addition, having stockpiled mined ore available at the Mill, which can be processed into finished U₃O₈ product on relatively short notice, gives the Company more flexibility in securing long-term sales contracts on the most favorable terms, as market fundamentals suggest higher prices in the future may be expected.
• Uranium processing activities are expected to result in total finished uranium production of 200,000 to 250,000 pounds of finished U₃O₈ during the first half of 2025 from the Company's existing conventional ore inventories and Alternate Feed Materials, which (combined with existing inventories) is expected to be sufficient to complete expected uranium sales in 2025, while providing additional material for discretionary sales on the spot market.
• The Company expects to sell between 200,000 and 300,000 pounds of uranium during 2025, under the Company's existing long-term contracts with utilities. As a result of these sales, plus planned 2025 mine production, at the end of 2025, the Company expects to hold a total of 1,655,000 to 2,340,000 pounds of U₃O₈, including approximately 290,000 to 445,000 pounds of finished U₃O₈ inventory and approximately 1,365,000 to 1,895,000 pounds of U₃O₈ contained in stockpiled uranium ore inventories. The final mix between quantities of U₃O₈ contained in ore inventories and quantities of U₃O₈ in finished product inventory at the end of 2025 will depend on the timing of the processing of stockpiled uranium ore at the Mill (which could occur in 2025 or be deferred to subsequent years), on any additional ore purchases from third-party miners, on any additional alternate feed and cleanup materials received, and on any spot uranium sales or purchases the Company may elect to complete in 2025 in response to uranium prices, market conditions, contract requirements, and other factors.
• The Company produced a total of 158,000 pounds of finished U₃O₈ during 2024 from stockpiled alternate feed materials and newly mined ore, which was at the lower end of our previous guidance of 150,000 to 200,000 pounds of finished U₃O₈ during 2024, due to voluntary delays in transporting ore from the Pinyon Plain mine to the Mill.
• On January 29, 2025, the Company announced the signing of an agreement with the Navajo Nation, facilitating the transport of uranium ore on the federal and state highways that traverse their land, subject to certain additional precautions and fees, and the Company assisting in the cleanup of Cold War era uranium mines left on Navajo land from government programs that started in the 1940s. Ore transport from the Pinyon Plain mine in northern Arizona to the Mill in southern Utah resumed in February 2025.
• During 2024, the Company produced ore containing approximately 208,000 pounds of U₃O₈ at the Pinyon Plain mine, which was stockpiled at the mine site. Ore containing approximately 142,000 pounds of U₃O₈ from the La Sal and Pandora mines was produced and/or delivered to the Mill.
• During 2024, the Company received positive results from drill holes during ongoing preparations at its Nichols Ranch in-situ recovery ("ISR") Project in Wyoming. Both the Nichols Ranch Project and Whirlwind Mine in Colorado are being prepared for production within one year of a "go" decision, as market conditions warrant. Production from these mines, when combined with production from Pinyon Plain, La Sal and Pandora, alternate feed materials, uranium from monazite, and third-party uranium ore purchases, would be expected to increase the Company's production run-rate to roughly two million pounds per year by as early as 2026.
• The Company continued advancing permitting and other pre-development activities on its large-scale Roca Honda and Bullfrog uranium projects in 2024, which together with its Sheep Mountain Project, have the potential to expand the Company's uranium production to a run-rate of up to five million pounds of U₃O₈ per year in the coming years.
• As of February 21, 2025, the spot price of U₃O₈ was $65.25 per pound and the long-term price of U₃O₈ was $82.00 per pound, according to data from TradeTech.

Rare Earth Element Milestones:

• The Company produced about 38,000 kg of separated NdPr from its newly commissioned Phase 1 REE separation circuit at the Mill in 2024, along with 9,000 kg of finished high purity, partially separated mixed "heavy" Sm⁺ RE Carbonate.
• Samples of the Company's NdPr product have been sent to permanent magnet and other companies around the world for product qualification. Initial testing responses have been positive.
• The Company is currently in the process of updating the White Mesa Mill's AACE International ("AACE") Class 4 Pre-Feasibility Study (not a Pre-Feasibility Study subject to or intended to be compliant with NI 43-101 or S-K 1300), originally released in Q2-2024 to increase throughput to a total of 60,000 tpa of monazite, producing roughly 6,000 tpa of NdPr, 150 to 225 tpa of Dy, and 50 to 75 tpa of Tb, of which the existing commissioned Phase 1 circuit will constitute about 17% of this amount (10,000 tpa of monazite). The Mill PFS referenced above can be viewed on the Company's website, Energy Fuels Pre-Feasibility Study.

Heavy Mineral Sands:

• On October 2, 2024, the Company announced it completed its previously announced acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares of Base Resources Ltd. ("Base Resources"), which is expected to transform the Company into a global leader in critical minerals production, including HMS (titanium and zirconium), REEs and uranium. The acquisition of Base includes the world-class Toliara HMS project in Madagascar. In addition to its stand-alone, ilmenite, rutile and zircon production capability, the Toliara Project also contains a long-life, high-value and low-cost monazite (REE) stream, produced as a byproduct of primary ilmenite, rutile and zircon production. Toliara's monazite is expected to be processed at the Mill into separated REE products, at globally competitive capital and operating costs.
• On November 28, 2024, the Government of Madagascar lifted the suspension on the development of the project, and on December 5, 2024, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the "MOU") with the Government of Madagascar setting forth certain key terms applicable to the Toliara Project along with mechanisms to achieve long-term fiscal stability for the Project. The MOU is the culmination of extensive negotiations over several years with the Malagasy Government and a major step forward in advancing the Project. Now that the Government of Madagascar has lifted the suspension, the Company has re-commenced development and investment in the Project, is re-establishing community and social programs, and is advancing the technical, environmental and social activities necessary to achieve a FID, which the Company expects to make in early 2026.
• The Company continued to advance the Donald Project (the "Donald Project"), a large monazite-rich HMS project in Australia, pursuant to its joint venture with Astron Corporation limited, announced in Q2-2024. The Company expects that a final investment decision ("FID") could be made on the Donald Project as early as the latter half of 2025.
• During 2024, the Company also continued to advance its wholly owned Bahia HMS project in Brazil (the "Bahia Project") with its Phase 2 drilling campaign, which is expected to continue during 2025. Additionally, the Company completed bulk test work on a 2.5 tonne sample in March 2024, and recently shipped a larger 15 tonne sample to the U.S. for additional process test work. Subject to permitting, finalization of surface access arrangements, and completion of additional drilling, the Company expects to complete a U.S. Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K ("S-K 1300") and Canadian National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") compliant mineral resource estimate on the Bahia Project in late 2025 or early 2026.

Medical Isotope Highlights:

• On August 19, 2024, the Company announced it acquired RadTran LLC ("RadTran"), a private company specializing in the separation of critical radioisotopes, to further the Company's plans for development and production of medical isotopes used in cancer treatments. RadTran's expertise includes separation of radium-226 ("Ra-226") and radium-228 ("Ra-228") from uranium and thorium process streams. This acquisition is expected to significantly enhance Energy Fuels' planned capabilities to address the global shortage of these essential isotopes used in emerging targeted alpha therapies ("TAT") for cancer treatment.
• The Company continues to utilize its research and development ("R&D") license for the potential recovery of R&D quantities of Ra-226 at the Mill. Activities to set up the pilot facility at the Mill continued in Q4-2024 and are expected to progress through 2025, with the goal of producing R&D quantities of Ra-226 for testing by end-users of the product in 2025.

Vanadium:

• The Company chose not to execute any vanadium sales during 2024 and holds about 905,000 pounds of V₂O₅ in inventory.
• As of February 21, 2025, the spot price of V₂O₅ was $5.35 per pound, according to data from Fastmarkets.
