Insights

The Q3 results reveal a mixed financial picture. While maintaining a robust balance sheet with $183.16M in working capital and zero debt is positive, the $12.08M net loss ($0.07 per share) raises concerns. The uranium segment shows promise with a 54% gross margin on spot sales at $80 per pound and new long-term contracts provide revenue visibility through 2029.

The completion of Base Resources acquisition positions UUUU for significant growth in rare earth elements and heavy mineral sands, though integration costs impacted current quarter results. The successful commissioning of the REE separation circuit and production of 38 tonnes of NdPr marks a strategic milestone, setting the stage for commercial-scale operations.

The company's planned production ramp-up to 1.1-1.4M pounds of U3O8 annually by late 2024, with potential expansion to 5M pounds, indicates strong growth trajectory amid rising uranium prices ($81/lb spot, $82/lb long-term).

The operational developments are significant with active mining at multiple sites and successful commissioning of new processing capabilities. The Pinyon Plain mine stockpile containing 180,000 pounds of U3O8 and positive drill results at Nichols Ranch demonstrate solid resource base. However, transportation delays affecting 2024 production guidance (reduced to 150,000-200,000 pounds) need monitoring.

The Base Resources acquisition, particularly the Toliara Project, transforms UUUU's market position in critical minerals. The addition of experienced HMS operations team and multiple project pipeline (Donald Project, Bahia Project) creates a vertically integrated supply chain. Key risk factors include pending Madagascar government approvals and fiscal terms negotiation for Toliara development.

DENVER, Oct. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) ("Energy Fuels" or the "Company"), an industry leader in uranium and rare earth elements ("REE") production, today reported its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The Company previously announced details for its upcoming November 1, 2024, earnings call, which are also included in this news release.

"Uranium drives our current financial outlook, while rare earth elements and heavy mineral sand products are significantly adding to our long-term value and growth strategy," said Mark Chalmers, Energy Fuels' President and Chief Executive Officer. "This quarter, we maintained our clean balance sheet while adding a new long-term U.S. utility customer, completing another spot sale of U3O8, and commencing processing of the large inventory stockpile of uranium feedstock at the White Mesa Mill, which is expected to continue well into 2025 and beyond. Uranium production is, and will remain, the core of the Energy Fuels' business, as we leverage our unique permits, facilities and expertise to process uranium-bearing materials to produce a variety of critical materials that advance the global energy transition through an American-based supply chain. We have long been a leading U.S. uranium producer, and we have now proven our ability to produce important rare earth materials at commercial scale with the completion and successful commissioning of our REE separation circuit this quarter. We are also aggressively moving forward with our plans to secure rare earth feedstocks globally and expand our processing capacity domestically in order to capture market share and achieve profitability. Our acquisition of Base Resources Limited and its world-class Toliara heavy mineral sands/monazite project in Madagascar on October 2, 2024 is an exciting step in achieving these objectives.

"We invite all stakeholders to join us in our upcoming November 1, 2024, earnings call, details of which are below, to learn more about these exciting achievements."

Q3-2024 Highlights

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

  • Robust Balance Sheet with Over $180 million of Liquidity and No Debt: As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $183.16 million of working capital including $47.46 million of cash and cash equivalents, $101.15 million of marketable securities (interest-bearing securities and uranium stocks), $35.91 million of inventory, and no debt.
  • Over $10 Million of Additional Liquidity from Market Value of Inventory: At October 28, 2024 commodity prices, the Company's product inventory has a market value of approximately $23.79 million, while the balance sheet reflects product inventory carried at cost of $13.38 million.
  • Incurred Net Loss of $12 Million: During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $12.08 million, or $0.07 per common share, primarily due to transaction and integrations costs related to the Donald Project joint venture (described below), the acquisition of Base Resources (described below) and recurring operating expenses, partially offset by sales of natural uranium concentrates ("U3O8").
  • Uranium Continues to Drive Revenue: The Company sold 50,000 pounds of U3O8 on the spot market at a realized sales price of $80.00 per pound of U3O8 for total proceeds of $4.00 million, which resulted in a gross profit of $2.15 million and a gross margin of 54%.
  • New Long-Term Uranium Sales Contract with U.S. Utility: 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 until 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: Final commissioning of the Phase 1 REE separation circuit at the Company's White Mesa Mill (the "Mill") was successfully completed during the quarter resulting in the production of approximately 38 tonnes of 'on-spec' separated NdPr.
  • Samples of NdPr Actively Being Qualified by Potential Customers: NdPr produced at the Mill is currently being qualified with permanent magnet manufacturers and other potential customers to set the stage for potential offtake in the future.
  • Well-Stocked to Capture Market Opportunities: As of September 30, 2024, the Company held 235,000 pounds of finished U3O8 and 805,000 pounds of U3O8 in ore and raw materials and work-in-progress inventory for a total of 1,040,000 pounds of U3O8 in inventory. This inventory increased from last quarter due to Pinyon Plain, La Sal and Pandora mine ore production and additional alternate feed materials received, partially offset by our spot sale during Q3-2024. The Company expects these uranium inventories to continue increasing as we continue to mine additional ore. The Company also held 905,000 pounds of finished vanadium ("V2O5"), 38 tonnes of finished separated neodymium praseodymium ("NdPr") and 9 tonnes of finished high purity, partially separated mixed rare earth carbonate ("RE Carbonate") in inventory.

Capitalizing on Strong Uranium Pricing:

  • Due to uranium market tailwinds and upcoming commitments in long-term contracts with U.S. nuclear utilities, the Company is currently mining and stockpiling uranium ore from its Pinyon Plain, La Sal and Pandora mines and plans to ramp up to a production run-rate of approximately 1.1 to 1.4 million pounds of U3O8 per year by late-2024.
  • The Company expects to produce a total of 150,000 to 200,000 pounds of finished U3O8 during 2024 from stockpiled alternate feed materials and newly mined ore, which is at the lower end of our previous guidance of 150,000 to 500,000 pounds of finished U3O8 during 2024, due to delays in transporting ore from the Pinyon Plain mine to the White Mesa Mill, which is expected to be resolved in Q4-2024. Mining continues at the Pinyon Plain mine, with mined ore being stockpiled at the mine site, containing approximately 180,000 pounds of U3O8 at September 30, 2024, which is expected to be processed at the Mill later in 2024 or in early 2025.
  • During Q3-2024, 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 and are within one year of a "go" decision, as market conditions warrant. Production from these mines, when combined with alternate feed materials, uranium from monazite, and 3rd 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 Q3-2024, 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 October 28, 2024, the spot price of U3O8 was $81.00 per pound and the long-term price of U3O8 was $82.00 per pound, according to data from TradeTech.

Rare Earth Element Production Milestones:

  • The Company produced about 38 tonnes of separated NdPr from its newly commissioned Phase 1 REE separation circuit at the Mill in Q2- and Q3-2024.
  • Samples of the Company's NdPr product have been sent to permanent magnet and other companies around the world for product qualification, and 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, www.energyfuels.com.

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 advanced, world-class Toliara HMS project in Madagascar. In addition to its stand-alone, ilmenite, rutile (titanium) and zircon (zirconium) production capability, the Toliara Project also contains a long-life, high-value and low-cost monazite (REEs) stream, produced as a byproduct of primary titanium and zirconium production. Toliara's monazite is expected to be processed at the Mill into separated REE products, along with uranium, at globally competitive capital and operating costs. The Toliara Project is subject to negotiation of fiscal terms with the Madagascar government and the receipt of certain Madagascar government approvals and actions before a current suspension on activities at the Toliara Project will be lifted and development may occur. The transaction also includes Base's management, mine development and operations teams, who have a successful track-record of designing, constructing, and profitably operating a world-class HMS operation in Kenya.
  • 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") will be made on the Donald Project as early as 2025.
  • During Q3-2024, 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 through the rest of the year. 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. 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 during 2024.

Vanadium Highlights:

  • The Company chose not to execute any vanadium sales during Q3-2024 and holds about 905,000 pounds of V2O5 in inventory.
  • As of October 28, 2024, the spot price of V2O5 was $5.25 per pound, according to data from Fastmarkets.

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 recovery of R&D quantities of Ra-226 at the Mill. Activities to set up the pilot facility at the Mill continued in Q3-2024 and are expected to progress through the end of the year, with the goal of producing R&D quantities of Ra-226 for testing by end-users of the product in late 2024 or early 2025.

Mr. Chalmers continued:

"During the quarter, we achieved numerous additional milestones to bring the Energy Fuels' vision to fruition for our innovative, low-cost, U.S.-centered critical mineral supply chain. As previously announced, shortly after the close of the quarter, we successfully completed our acquisition of Base Resources. This is a major piece of our strategic puzzle, bringing to the Company the Base Resources management and operations team and the world-class Toliara Project in Madagascar, which is considered by industry experts to be one of the best HMS projects in the world. With the Toliara Project, our joint venture on the Donald Project in Australia, and our 100% ownership of the Bahia Project, we have secured a leading position in the titanium and zirconium mineral industry, in addition to a low-cost source of REE feedstock that will be processed in the United States.

"These developments have the potential to transform Energy Fuels into a world leader in titanium, zirconium, and rare earth elements production, while maintaining our position as a U.S. leader in uranium and vanadium production. All these materials are critical to the global energy transition and to our vision of creating a leading diversified critical minerals company."
