Overview Centrus Energy Corp., a Delaware corporation, is a trusted supplier of nuclear fuel components for the nuclear power industry, which provides a reliable source of carbon-free energy, and provides enrichment and technical services for public and private customers. References to “Centrus”, the “Company”, “our”, or “we” include Centrus Energy Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as well as the predecessor to Centrus, unless the context indicates otherwise. Centrus operates two business segments: (a) LEU, which supplies various components of nuclear fuel to commercial customers from our global network of suppliers, and (b) Technical Solutions, which provides advanced uranium enrichment for the nuclear industry and the U.S. government and advanced manufacturing and other technical services to government and private sector customers. Our current uranium enrichment involves HALEU production and other capabilities necessary for production of advanced nuclear fuel to power existing and next-generation reactors around the world. Our LEU segment provides most of the Company’s revenue and involves the sale of LEU, the fissile component of nuclear fuel, primarily to utilities that operate commercial nuclear power plants. The majority of these sales are for the enrichment component of LEU, which is measured in SWU. Centrus also sells natural uranium hexafluoride (the raw material needed to produce LEU) and occasionally sells uranium concentrates, uranium conversion, or LEU with the natural uranium hexafluoride and SWU components combined into one sale. LEU is a critical component in the production of nuclear fuel for reactors that produce electricity. We supply LEU and its components to both domestic and international utilities for use in nuclear reactors worldwide. We provide LEU from multiple sources, including medium- and long-term supply contracts, spot purchases and our inventory. As a long-term supplier of LEU to our customers, our objective is to provide value through the reliability and diversity of our supply sources. Our LEU segment backlog includes medium and long-term sales contracts and contingent sales commitments with major utilities through 2040. We have secured cost-competitive supplies of SWU under long-term contracts through the end of this decade designed to allow us to fill our existing customer orders and make new sales. However, supply chain disruptions may impact our ability to fill existing customer orders. A market-related price reset provision in the TENEX Supply Contract, which is our largest supply contract, became effective in 2019 – when market prices for SWU were near historic lows – which has significantly lowered our cost of sales and contributed to improved margins since 2019. Our Technical Solutions segment is focused on uranium enrichment for the nuclear industry and the U.S. government and advanced manufacturing, engineering and other technical services to government and private sector customers. Under a contract with the DOE, our Technical Solutions segment is operating uranium enrichment capacity for HALEU production, and other capabilities necessary for production of advanced nuclear fuel to meet the evolving needs of the global nuclear industry and the U.S. government. We are also leveraging our unique technical expertise, operational experience, and specialized facilities to expand and diversify our business beyond uranium enrichment, offering new services to existing and new customers in complementary markets. Our Technical Solutions segment is committed to the restoration of America’s domestic uranium enrichment capabilities for LEU and HALEU, in order to play a critical role in meeting U.S. national security and energy security requirements and advancing America’s clean energy, energy security, and national security 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. 8 The United States has not had domestic uranium enrichment capability suitable to meet U.S. national security requirements since the Paducah GDP shut down in 2013. DOE continues to draw down its finite stockpile of Cold War-era enriched uranium but is expected to need a new source of U.S.-origin enrichment in the future. Longstanding U.…
