Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Q3 headline miss was mix‑driven: selling non‑produced inventory at –$6.72/lb unit loss (price $57.48, cost $64.21) pressured gross profit and EPS despite steady operational progress .
  • Near‑term margin setup improves in Q4: 165,000 lbs scheduled at $63.20/lb from produced inventory, with Q2 produced cost reference of $50.89/lb indicating more favorable economics versus Q3 .
  • Execution remains solid: Lost Creek production ramp and plant optimization continued; Shirley Basin construction milestones achieved; Q1 2026 startup re‑affirmed .
  • Contract book provides floor with upside: 440,000 lbs FY25 deliveries locked; average realized price raised to $61.77; multi‑year sales agreements include market‑linked components for 2026–2033 .
  • Liquidity is adequate but trending down due to ramp and capex; cash $52.0M at 9/30 and $35.4M at 10/30 — monitor spend vs milestones and potential financing needs ahead of Shirley Basin commissioning .
  • Leadership transition set for December; continuity supported as President Matthew Gili (engineering/operator background) becomes CEO; aligns with ramp and project delivery phase .
  • Exploration optionality: GDB programs initiated (Lost Soldier aquifer tests; North Hadsell next; LC South 120‑hole in Q1’26), targeting resource expansion near existing assets .
