Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the LEU segment was $256.0 million and $163.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, an increase of $92.1 million (or 56%). SWU costs increased as a result of a 67% increase in the average unit cost of SWU sold, partially offset by a 4% decrease in the volume of SWU sold. Of the $256.0 million cost of sales, 25% is attributable to the release of costs related to previously deferred sales. Excluding the impact of current year deferred sales deliveries, the average unit cost of SWU sold would have only increased 27%. Uranium costs increased as a result of a 33% increase in the average unit cost of uranium sold and a 13% increase in the volume of uranium sold.

Cost of sales for the Technical Solutions segment was $74.5 million and $44.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, an increase of $30.3 million (or 69%).
