Changes in the supply-demand balance and in the competitive landscape arising from the war in Ukraine or the imposition of tariffs, may affect pricing trends, change customer spending patterns, and create additional uncertainty in the uranium market. At the same time, uncertainty remains about future demand for nuclear power generation. To address such changes and uncertainty, we continue to evaluate opportunities to grow our business organically or through acquisitions and other strategic transactions.

Our Technical Solutions segment is committed to the restoration of America’s domestic uranium enrichment production capability in order to play a critical role in meeting U.S. national security and energy security requirements and advancing America’s nonproliferation, energy, and climate objectives. Our Technical Solutions segment is also focused on repairing broken and vulnerable supply chains, providing clean energy jobs, and supporting the communities in which we operate. Our goal is to deliver major components of the next-generation nuclear fuels that will provide reliable carbon-free power around the world. 

The Company’s work on HALEU began under the HALEU Demonstration Contract, signed with the DOE in 2019 to construct a cascade of 16 AC100M centrifuges in Piketon, Ohio to demonstrate HALEU production. The DOE has funded the contract up to $173.0 million with a period of performance that ended November 30, 2022. Closeout activities on the HALEU Demonstration Contract are ongoing.

 On November 10, 2022, the DOE awarded the HALEU Operation Contract to the Company with a base contract value of approximately $150.0 million in two phases through 2024. Phase 1 included an approximately $30.0 million cost-share contribution from Centrus matched by approximately $30.0 million from the DOE to complete construction of the cascade, begin operations and produce the initial 20 kilograms of HALEU UF6. On November 7, 2023, the Company announced that it made its first contractual delivery of HALEU to the DOE, completing Phase 1.

During November 2023, the Company transitioned to Phase 2 of the HALEU Operation Contract, which included production of 900 kilograms of HALEU UF6 for one production year, as well as continued operations and maintenance of the cascade. Phase 2 included an initial contract value of approximately $90.0 million and compensation on a cost-plus-incentive-fee-basis. The DOE owns any HALEU produced from the demonstration cascade. The HALE
