1• CTS Segment: Includes Centrus' technical solutions and in-house enrichment operations, dedicated to the restoration of America's domestic uranium enrichment capabilities for LEU and HALEU
2• LEU segment: Acting as a broker, Centrus provides the enrichment component of LEU primarily to utilities that operate commercial nuclear power plants
Comprised of supply contracts with Russian enricher TENEX (through December 31, 2027) and French enricher Orano (through December 31, 2030)
The enrichment component of LEU is measured in Separative Work Units (SWU)
Centrus also sells natural uranium hexafluoride (UF6) and occasionally sells uranium concentrates, uranium conversion, or LEU with the natural uranium hexafluoride and SWU components combined into one sale
Legend
Centrus controls the nuclear fuel cycle's highest barrier-to-entry stage: uranium enrichment.
By converting feedstock into specialized fuel via de-risked, deployment-ready, proprietary technology, Centrus serves as the indispensable bridge between upstream mining and downstream deployment

Timeline to first Cascade
DOE extended Centrus's HALEU production contract by $110mm through June 2026, supporting up to 900 kg/year of output. The extension follows Phase I's successful delivery of 20 kg of HALEU UF6 in late 2023 and ensures continued production
June 20th, 2025
Centrus announced a quarter end
cash balance of $1.6bn, driven by
$805mm upsized convertible notes offering and $1.0bn ATM. This financial flexibility supports strategic initiatives like capacity expansion and technology investments, signaling strong investor confidence
November 6th, 2025
DOE selects Centrus for a $900mm1 task order to expand uranium enrichment at Piketon for HALEU and LEU. The project is slated to begin operations by 2029, reinforcing U.S. energy security
