On February 8, 2024, Centrus Energy Corp (LEU, Financial) released its 8-K filing, detailing the financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2023. The company, a key player in the nuclear fuel and services industry, operates primarily through its Low-Enriched Uranium (LEU) segment, which saw a revenue increase due to higher volume and average price of SWU and uranium sold. Despite a decrease in revenue from the Technical Solutions segment, the company's overall financial performance showed resilience and growth.
Centrus Energy Corp (LEU, Financial) reported a robust net income of $84.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, marking a substantial increase from the $52.2 million reported in the previous year. This growth in net income is particularly noteworthy given the $21.3 million estimated loss related to the HALEU Operation Contract in the previous year. The company's revenue also saw an uptick, reaching $320.2 million in 2023, up from $293.8 million in 2022. The LEU segment contributed significantly to this increase, with $269.0 million in revenue, compared to $235.6 million in the prior year.
Despite the positive revenue growth, the company's gross profit experienced a slight decline to $112.1 million in 2023 from $117.9 million in 2022. This was primarily due to a change in the composition of contracts within the LEU segment, which included legacy contracts at historically higher prices in the previous year. The company's unrestricted cash balance stood strong at $201.2 million as of December 31, 2023.
Centrus Energy Corp (LEU, Financial) also reported the origination of $189 million in new sales contracts, maintaining a robust $1 billion long-term order book. This demonstrates the company's continued ability to secure new business and maintain a steady revenue stream.
