SEC filingNet loss widened to $21.84M on lower uranium sales and higher costs from Base Resources acquisition.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, Energy Fuels reported a net loss of $21.84 million ($0.10 per share), compared to a net loss of $6.42 million ($0.04 per share) in the prior-year quarter. The $15.42 million increase in net loss was driven by a 52% decline in revenue to $4.21 million, primarily due to lower uranium sales volumes (50,000 lbs vs. 100,000 lbs) and a 10% lower realized uranium price ($77.00/lb vs. $85.90/lb). The company deliberately retained uranium inventory at current spot prices, deferring sales to future periods under higher-priced long-term contracts. Gross margin collapsed from 57.8% to 13.2%, as costs applicable to revenues remained relatively flat ($3.66M vs. $3.68M) while revenue dropped sharply. Operating expenses surged 71% to $30.39 million, driven by a 265% increase in exploration, development and processing costs ($9.08M vs. $2.49M) from higher Mill headcount, La Sal development, Juniper zone drilling, and a Kwale inventory write-off. Selling, general and administrative costs more than doubled to $12.13 million due to headcount additions from the Base Resources acquisition. Share-based compensation rose 104% to $2.89 million. Other income included a $3.14 million gain on sale of Kwale mining equipment, partially offset by a $0.28 million equity loss from the Donald Project JV and Tate.
Uranium: Revenue fell 55% to $3.93 million, with volumes down 50% and realized price down 10%. Costs applicable to revenues decreased 28% to $2.66 million, but the weighted average cost per pound rose 44% to $53.17, reflecting higher-cost inventory layers. The company sold 50,000 lbs in the spot market at $77.00/lb, while long-term contract deliveries were deferred.
Rare Earth Elements: No revenue or costs were recorded in either period. The Phase 1 REE separation circuit produced 38 tonnes of NdPr during commissioning, with 37 tonnes in inventory as of June 30, 2025. Pilot-scale production of Dy and Tb oxides is underway, with commercial-scale production of Dy, Tb, and Sm expected as early as Q4 2026.
Heavy Mineral Sands: Revenue of $0.28 million came from final Kwale product sales (202 tonnes of rutile). Costs applicable to revenues were $1.00 million, resulting in a negative gross margin of $718,000, as lower-grade end-of-life ore drove unit costs to $4,931/tonne versus a realized price of $1,371/tonne. No further HMS sales are expected until new projects (Toliara, Donald, Bahia) reach production.
Management raised 2025 uranium sales guidance to 350,000 lbs (from 220,000 lbs), reflecting a utility contract flex-up and a spot sale. Production guidance for 2025 is 700,000-1,000,000 lbs of finished U3O8, with a Q4 2025 conventional ore processing campaign expected to produce up to 670,000 lbs. Finished goods inventory is projected to reach 925,000-1,225,000 lbs by year-end 2025. The company expects cost of goods sold to decline from $50-55/lb in 2025 to $30-40/lb in Q1 2026 as low-cost Pinyon Plain ore is processed. Strategic priorities include advancing the Toliara Project (FID as early as 2026), Donald Project (FID as early as late 2025), and Phase 2 REE separation circuit (expected 2028). The company also continues to evaluate radioisotope recovery for TAT cancer treatments. Working capital strengthened to $253.23 million, supported by $151.88 million in ATM equity issuance during H1 2025.
As of June 30, 2025, Energy Fuels held $71.5M in cash and cash equivalents and $134.4M in marketable securities (current and non-current), totaling $205.9M in liquid assets. Total shareholders' equity was $640.2M. The company has no outstanding debt. Inventory stood at $76.5M, composed of concentrates and work-in-progress ($46.4M), ore stockpiles ($26.5M), and raw materials ($3.6M).
Mineral property lease renewal commitments for the remainder of 2025 are approximately $1.5M. The company also has a joint venture agreement with Astron for the Donald Project, with a right to invest up to AUD$183M (~$119.9M), of which $18.7M had been invested as of June 30, 2025. Surety bonds totaling $20.4M collateralize undiscounted asset retirement obligations of $61.5M. Additionally, under non-cancelable sales contracts, the company expects to recognize $10.0M in revenue for the remainder of 2025, $93.4M over the next three years, and $26.4M thereafter.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, Energy Fuels raised $151.9M net from at-the-market (ATM) equity offerings (30.4M shares). No share buybacks or dividends were declared. Capital expenditures totaled $17.9M, comprising $5.99M for property, plant and equipment and $11.89M for mineral properties. The company issued $0.66M in shares for employee tax withholding upon vesting and $0.16M from stock option exercises.
Energy Fuels reports three segments: Uranium, Rare Earth Elements (REE), and Heavy Mineral Sands (HMS). For the three months ended June 30, 2025, Uranium revenue was $3.93M (operating loss $8.6M), REE had no revenue (operating loss $4.6M), and HMS revenue was $0.28M (operating loss $12.9M). For the six-month period, Uranium revenue was $5.29M (loss $20.2M), REE no revenue (loss $8.3M), and HMS revenue $15.82M (loss $23.9M). All segments reported operating losses, with HMS losses driven by costs applicable to revenues and exploration expenses. The company's operations span the U.S., Brazil, Kenya, Madagascar, and Australia.
