LEU Segment

The SWU component of low-enriched uranium (“LEU”) typically is bought and sold under contracts with deliveries over several years. The Company’s agreements for natural uranium sales generally are shorter-term, fixed-commitment contracts. The Company’s order book of sales under contract in the LEU segment (“order book”) extends to ~~2030.~~2029. As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the order book was approximately $1$1.0 billion. The order book represents the estimated aggregate dollar amount of revenue for future SWU and uranium deliveries under contract and includes approximately ~~$321~~$311.0 million of Deferred Revenue and Advances from Customers.~~Refer to Contract Liabilities table above.~~ As of December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the order book was also approximately ~~$960 million.~~$1.0 billion.

Most of the Company’s ~~enrichment~~customer contracts provide for fixed purchases of SWU during a given year. The Company’s order book is partially is based on customers’ estimates of the timing and size of their fuel requirements and other assumptions that are subject to change. For example, depending on the terms of specific contracts, the customer may be able to increase or decrease the quantity delivered within an agreed range. The Company’s order book estimate also is based on the Company’s estimates of selling prices, which may be subject to change. For example, depending on the terms of specific contracts, prices may ~~adjust~~be adjusted based on escalation using a general inflation index, published SWU price indicators prevailing at the time of delivery, and other factors, all of which are variable. The Company uses external composite forecasts of future market prices and inflation rates in its pricing estimates.

Technical Solutions Segment

Revenue for the technical solutions segment, representing the Company’s technical, manufacturing, engineering, procurement, construction, and operations services offered to public and private sector customers, is recognized over the contractual period as services are rendered.

On October 31, 2019, the Company signed a cost-share contract with the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) (the “HALEU Contract”) to deploy a cascade of centrifuges to demonstrate production of high-assay, low-enriched uranium (“HALEU”) for advanced ~~reactors (“the HALEU Contract”).~~reactors. HALEU is a component of an advanced nuclear reactor fuel that is not commercially ~~produced in the United States~~available today and may be required for a number of advanced reactor and fuel designs currently under development in both the commercial and government sectors. The ~~three-year~~ program has been under way since May 31, 2019, when the Company and DOE signed a preliminary letter agreement that allowed work to begin while the full contract was being finalized.

~~Under~~In 2019, under the HALEU Contract, DOE agreed to reimburse the Company for 80% of its costs incurred in performing the contract. The DOE has modified the contract upseveral times to ~~a maximum~~increase the total contract funding to $147.0 million as of ~~$115~~June 30, 2022. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, additional modifications increased the total contract funding to $154.0 million. ~~The Company’s cost share is~~In April 2022, the ~~corresponding 20% and any costs~~DOE modified the ~~Company elects~~HALEU Contract to ~~incur above these amounts.~~extend the period of performance to November 30, 2022 with authorization to work through August 31, 2022. Costs under the HALEU Contract include program costs,, including direct labor and materials and associated indirect costs that are classified as Cost of Sales,, and an allocation of corporate costs supporting the program that are classified as Selling, General and Administrative ~~Expenses. Services~~Expenses. The impact to be provided over the three-year contract include constructing and assembling centrifuge machines and related infrastructure in a cascade formation and production of a small quantity of HALEU. When estimates of remaining program costs to be incurred for such an integrated, construction-type contract exceed estimates of total revenue to be earned, a provision for the remaining loss on the contract is recorded to Cost of Sales in the period the loss is determined. The Company’s corporate costs supporting the program are recognized as expense as incurred over the duration of the contract term. In 2019, the portion of the Company’s anticipated cost share under the HALEU Contract representing the Company’s share of projected program costs was recognized in ~~Cost of Sales~~ as an accrued loss of $18.3 million. The accrued loss on the contract is being adjusted over the remaining contract term based on actual results, remaining program cost projections and the Company’s anticipated cost-share. Cost of sales in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 ~~and 2020 benefited by $4.6~~is $0.5 million and ~~$5.3~~$4.6 million, respectively, for previously accrued contract losses attributable to work performed in the periods. As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, a total of ~~$15.2~~$19.6 million of previously accrued contract losses have been realized and the accrued contract loss balance included in Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities ~~was $3.1 million.~~

~~The HALEU Contract~~ is ~~funded incrementally and DOE currently is obligated for costs up to approximately $113.4 million of the $115 million.~~$0. The Company has received aggregate cash payments under the HALEU Contract of ~~$86.5~~$143.9 million through June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

~~At present, work under~~As previously reported, the ~~HALEU Contract remains on schedule but we have been experiencing increased delays from vendors and increased costs due to the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Company does not currently have a contractual obligation to perform work in excess of the ~~2019 initial cost estimate for the HALEU Contract and therefore, no additional costs have been accrued as of June 30, 2021.We have informed DOE that we currently estimate the cost to complete the demonstration cascade and produce HALEU has increased from the 2019 initial cost estimate and we plan to seek additional~~ funding ~~commitments from DOE for the additional costs.~~provided by DOE.

~~Centrus~~On June 28, 2022, the DOE released a request for proposals (“RFP”) for the completion and DOE have yet to settle fully the Company’s claims for reimbursements for certain pension and postretirement benefits costs related to past contract work performed for DOE unrelated to the HALEU Contract. There is the potential for additional income to be recognized for this work pending the outcome of legal proceedings related to the Company’s claims for payment and the potential release of previously established valuation allowances on receivables. As a resultoperation of the ~~application~~demonstration cascade. The RFP provides for a 50/50 cost share contract for the initial phase to complete the cascade and produce 20 Kg of ~~fresh start accounting following~~HALEU.Once 20 Kg of HALEU has been produced, the ~~Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy~~base contract will transition to a cost-plus-incentive-fee contract for production of 900 Kg over the subsequent 1-year period.The RFP includes options held by the DOE to extend performance up to an additional nine years, comprised of three options of three-years each, also on ~~September 30, 2014, the receivables related to the Company’s claims for payment are carried at fair value as of September 30, 2014, which is net of the valuation allowances.

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. There were no valuation adjustments in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

The Company may also borrow SWU or uranium from customers or suppliers, in which case the Company will record the SWU and/or uranium and the related liability for the borrowing using a projected and forecasted purchase price over the borrowing period. In March and May 2022, the Company borrowed SWU which was recorded to inventory at a value of $9.4 million and $8.5 million, respectively. The inventory value was calculated based on the anticipated sourcing of inventory for repayment at the date of acquisition. In June 2022, the Company performed a revaluation of the Long-term Inventory Loans reflecting an updated projection of the timing and sources of inventory to be used for repayment. This revaluation was recorded to cost of sales and resulted in an increase of $5.5 million to the related liability.

5. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets originated from the Company’s reorganization and application of fresh start accounting as of the date the Company emerged from bankruptcy, September 30, 2014, and reflect the conditions at that time. The intangible asset related to the Company’s sales order book is amortized as the order book, existing at emergence, is reduced, principally as a result of deliveries to customers. The intangible asset related to customer relationships is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated average useful life of 15 years. Amortization expense is presented below gross profit on the ~~unaudited condensed consolidated statements~~Consolidated Statements of ~~operations~~Operations and ~~comprehensive income.~~Comprehensive Income.

7. FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value of assets and liabilities, the following hierarchy is used in selecting inputs, with the highest priority given to Level 1, as these are the most transparent or reliable:

•Level 1 –assets include investments with quoted prices ~~for identical instruments~~ in active ~~markets.~~markets that the Company has the ability to liquidate as of the reporting date.

•Level 2 –assets include investments in U.S. government agency securities, corporate and municipal debt whose estimates are valued based on observable inputs, other than quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.prices.

•Level 3 –assets include investments with unobservable inputs, such as third-party valuations, ~~derived using one~~due to little or ~~more significant inputs that are not observable.~~no market activity.

9. NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing income allocable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. In calculating diluted net income per share, the number of shares is increased by the weighted average number of potential shares related to stock compensation awards. No dilutive effect is recognized in a period in which a net loss has occurred.

On February 2, 2021, the Company completed the exchange of 3,873 shares of its outstanding Series B Senior Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Preferred Stock”) for (i) 231,276 shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) a warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $21.62 per share, for an aggregate valuation of approximately $7.5 million. ~~(Refer~~Refer to Note 10, - Stockholders’ Equity). The carrying value of the Preferred Stock on the Balance Sheet was $1.00 per share par value. The aggregate liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock, including accrued but unpaid dividends, was $1,291.04 per share as of December 31, 2020.y.

The aggregate valuation of approximately $7.5 million, less accrued but unpaid dividends attributable to the acquired and retired shares of Preferred Stock, iswas considered for purposes of Net Income per Share for the six months ended June 30, 2021, to be a deemed dividend in the aggregate amount equal to the amount by which it ~~exceeds~~exceeded the carrying value of the Preferred Stock on the Balance Sheet orof $6.6 million.

Awards under Executive Incentive Plan

Notional stock units are a component of the 2019 Executive Incentive Plan for participating executives for the three-year period ending December 31, ~~2021, with an interim payment~~2021. The plan payouts were settled in Class A Common Stock in April 2021 and ~~the final payment targeted for~~March 2022. ~~Notional~~In April 2020, notional stock units and stock appreciation rights were granted to participating executives ~~for the three-year~~with a vesting period ending in April ~~26,~~ 2023. ~~The~~

Prior to 2022, these awards were determined to be likely settled in cash, and thus compensation cost for the notional stock units and stock appreciation rights may be payable in common stock, cash or a combination of both at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Since the awards are likely to be settled with cash payments, compensation cost for notional stock units and stock appreciation rights arewere re-measured each reporting period based on the trading price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and the cumulative vested costs ~~are~~were accrued in Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities or Other Long-Term Liabilities ~~based on the anticipated payment date.~~ .

A portion of the April 2021 interim payment related to the 2019 grants referenced above was paid in shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The related obligation of $7.5 million was reclassified from Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities to Excess of Capital over Par Value in the first quarter of 2021 based on the market share price at the time of the Board’s decision. In the second quarter of 2021, the Company withheld $2.4 million of shares to fund the grantees’ tax withholding obligations relating to the April 2021 interim payment.

In September 2021, notional stock units and stock appreciation rights were granted to participating executives with a vesting period ending in April 2024. The September 2021 awards are payable in shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and the grant-date value is included in Excess of Capital Over Par Value as amortized over the vesting period.

In February 2022, the Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors determined that remaining notional stock units granted in 2019 and 2020 would be paid in shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. The related obligation of $10.6 million was reclassified from Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities to Excess of Capital over Par Value in the first quarter of 2022 based on the market share price at the time of the Board’s decision. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company withheld $1.9 million of shares that vested during the period for the purpose of funding the grantees’ tax withholding obligations under the terms of the stock-based compensation plan.

In March 2022, restricted stock was granted to participating executives with a vesting period ending in March 2025. The March 2022 awards are payable in shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and the grant-date value is included in Excess of Capital Over Par Value as amortized over the vesting period.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments under SWU Purchase Agreements

TENEX

~~A major supplier of SWU to the Company is the~~The Russian government-owned entity TENEX, Joint-Stock Company (“TENEX”)., is a major supplier of SWU to the Company. Under a 2011 agreement with TENEX, as amended, (the “TENEX Supply Contract”), the Company purchases SWU contained in LEU received from TENEX, and the Company delivers natural uranium to TENEX for the LEU’s uranium component. The LEU that the Company obtains from TENEX ~~under the agreement~~ is subject to quotas and other restrictions applicable to commercial Russian LEU. Further, the ability of the Company or TENEX to perform under the TENEX Supply Contract is vulnerable to (i) sanctions or restrictions that might be imposed by Russia, the United States, or other countries, as a result of the war in Ukraine, or otherwise, (ii) customers and other parties who may object to receiving or handling Russian LEU or SWU, or (iii) suppliers and service providers seeking to limit their involvement with business related to Russia.

The TENEX Supply Contract originally was signed with commitments through 2022, but was modified in 2015 to give the Company the right to reschedule certain quantities of SWU of the original commitments into the period 2023 and beyond, in return for the purchase of additional SWU in those years. The Company has exercised this right to reschedule in each year through December 31, ~~2020.~~2021, and expects to do so in 2022. If the Company exercises this right to reschedule in full during the remaining years of the ~~contract’s original term,~~contract, the Company will have a rescheduled post-2022 purchase commitment that could extend through 2028.

The TENEX Supply Contract provides that the Company must pay for all SWU in its minimum purchase obligation each year, even if it fails to submit orders for such SWU. In such a case, the Company would pay for the SWU but have to take the unordered SWU in the following year.

Pricing terms for SWU under the TENEX Supply Contract are based on a combination of market-related price points and other factors. This formula was subject to an adjustment at the end of 2018 that reduced the unit costs of SWU under this contract in 2019 and for the duration of the contract.

Orano

In 2018, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Orano Supply Agreement”) with the French company Orano Cycle ~~(“Orano”)~~ for the long-term supply to the Company of SWU contained in LEU. ~~Under the~~The Orano Supply Agreement assubsequently was assigned by Orano Cycle to its affiliate, Orano CE (“Orano”). Under the amended Orano Supply Agreement, the supply of SWU ~~commenced in 2020~~currently runs through 2029, and ~~extends to 2028. The~~the Company has ~~the~~an option to extend ~~the supply period for an additional two years.~~through 2030. The Orano Supply Agreement provides significant flexibility to adjust purchase volumes, subject to annual minimums and maximums in fixed amounts that vary year by year. The pricing for the SWU purchased by the Company is determined by a formula that uses a combination of market-related price points and other factors and is subject to certain floors and ceilings.

~~Decontamination and Decommissioning of Plant of Former Power Supplier~~

In 1993, the United States Enrichment Corporation, at that time a wholly owned government corporation (“USEC-Government”), entered into a lease for the Paducah and Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plants (collectively, the “GDPs”) with the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”). As part of that lease, DOE and USEC-Government also entered into a memorandum of understanding (“Power MOU”) regarding power purchase agreements between DOE and the providers of power to the GDPs. Under the Power MOU, DOE and USEC-Government agreed upon the allocation of rights and liabilities under the power purchase agreements. In 1998, USEC-Government was privatized and became the United States Enrichment Corporation, now a principal subsidiary of the Company (“Enrichment Corp.”). Pursuant to ~~legislation authorizing~~ ~~the privatization, the lease for the GDPs, which included~~ ~~the Power MOU~~ ~~as an Appendix, was transferred to~~ Enrichment Corp. and Enrichment Corp. was given the right to purchase power from DOE. The Paducah GDP was shut down and deleased by Enrichment Corp. in 2013. On August 4, 2021, DOE informally informed Enrichment Corp. that the Joppa power plant, which had supplied power to the Paducah GDP, was planned to be ~~decontaminated and~~ decommissioned (D&D). According to DOE, the power purchase agreement with Electric Energy Inc. (“EEI”) requires DOE to pay for a portion of the D&D costs of the Joppa power plant and DOE has asserted that a portion of the DOE liability is the responsibility of Enrichment

~~Corp. under the Power MOU in the amount of approximately $9.6 million.~~At this time, the Company has not had an opportunity to assess DOE’s assertions including whether all or a portion of any such potential liability had been previously settled. Consequently, the Company has not formed an opinion on the merits nor is it able to estimate the potential liability, if any, and no expense or liability has been accrued.

Milestones Under the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement

The Company’s predecessor USEC Inc. and DOE signed an agreement dated June 17, 2002, as amended (the “2002 DOE-USEC Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties made long-term commitments directed at resolving issues related to the stability and security of the domestic uranium enrichment industry. The 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement requires Centrus to develop, demonstrate and deploy advanced enrichment technology in accordance with milestones, including the deployment of a commercial American Centrifuge Plant, and provides for remedies in the event of a failure to meet a milestone under certain circumstances, including terminating the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement, revoking Centrus’ access to DOE’s centrifuge technology that is required for the success of the Company’s ongoing work with the American Centrifuge technology, requiring Centrus to transfer certain rights in the American Centrifuge technology and facilities to DOE, and requiring Centrus to reimburse DOE for certain

costs associated with the American Centrifuge technology. The 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement provides that if a delaying event beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of Centrus occurs that could affect Centrus’ ability to meet the American Centrifuge Plant milestone under the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement, DOE and the Company will jointly meet to discuss in good faith possible adjustments to the milestones as appropriate to accommodate the delaying event. In 2014, the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement and other agreements between the Company and DOE were assumed by Centrus subject to an express reservation of all rights, remedies and defenses by DOE and the Company under those agreements. DOE and the Company have agreed that all rights, remedies and defenses of the parties with respect to any missed milestones and all other matters under the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement continue to be preserved, and that the time limits for each party to respond to any missed milestones continue to be tolled.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company is involved in various pending legal proceedings, including the pending legal proceedings described below.

~~On August 30, 2013,~~In 1993, the United States Enrichment Corporation, at that time a wholly owned government corporation (“USEC-Government”), entered into a lease for the Paducah and Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plants (collectively, the “GDPs”) with the DOE. As part of that lease, DOE and USEC-Government also entered into a memorandum of understanding (“Power MOU”) regarding power purchase agreements between DOE and the providers of power to the GDPs. Under the Power MOU, DOE and USEC-Government agreed upon the allocation of rights and liabilities under the power purchase agreements. In 1998, USEC-Government was privatized and became the United States Enrichment Corporation, now a principal subsidiary of the Company ~~submitted a claim~~(“Enrichment Corp.”). Pursuant to ~~DOE under~~legislation authorizing the ~~Contract Disputes Act~~privatization, the lease for ~~payment of $42.8 million, representing DOE’s share of pension~~the GDPs, which included the Power MOU as an Appendix, was transferred to Enrichment Corp. and ~~postretirement benefits costs related~~Enrichment Corp. was given the right to ~~the transition of employees at the former Portsmouth, Ohio,~~purchase power from DOE. The Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant ~~(the “Portsmouth~~(“Paducah GDP”) was shut down in 2013 and deleased by Enrichment Corp. in 2014.

The receivable for DOE’s share of pension and postretirement benefits costs has a full valuation allowance due to the lack of a resolution with DOE and uncertainty regarding the amounts owed and the timing of collection.

On January 13, 2021, the Company and DOE reached a tentative agreement to settle the litigation. The settlement is subject to the approval by DOE, the U.S. Department of Justice, the Company’s Board of Directors, and the Court. If the settlement ultimately is approved by all parties, DOE is expected to pay the Company $43.5 million (inclusive of any interest due). Any amounts received by the Company in connection with the settlement will be applied to pension and post-retirement benefits obligations.such potential liability had been previously settled.

On May 26, 2019, the Company, Enrichment Corp., and six other DOE contractors who have operated facilities at the Portsmouth ~~GDP site~~Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Piketon, Ohio ( “Portsmouth GDP”) (including, in the case of the Company, the American Centrifuge Plant site located on the premises) were named as defendants in a class action complaint filed by Ursula McGlone, Jason McGlone, Julia Dunham, and K.D. and C.D., minor children by and through their parent and natural guardian Julia Dunham (collectively, the “McGlone Plaintiffs”) in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division. The complaint seeks damages for alleged off-site contamination allegedly resulting from activities on the Portsmouth GDP site. The McGlone Plaintiffs are seeking to represent a class of (i) all current or former residents within a seven-mile radius of the Portsmouth GDP site and (ii) all students and their parents at the Zahn’s Corner Middle School from 1993-present. The complaint was amended on December 10, 2019 and on January 10, 2020 to add additional plaintiffs and new claims. On July 31, 2020, the court granted in part and denied in part the defendants’ motion to dismiss the case. The court dismissed ten of the fifteen claims and allowed the remaining claims to proceed to the next stage of the litigation process. On August 18, 2020, the McGlone Plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to file a third amended complaint and notice of dismissal of three of the individual plaintiffs. On March 18, 2021, the McGlone Plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to file a fourth amended complaint to add new plaintiffs and allegations.

On ~~November 27, 2019,~~April 28, 2022, the Company, Enrichment Corp. and six other DOE contractors who have operated facilities at the Portsmouth GDP site were named as defendants in a class action complaint filed by James Matthews, Jennifer Brownfield Clark, Joanne Ross, the Estate of A.R., and others similarly situated (the “Matthews Plaintiffs”), in the Common Pleas Court of Pike County, Ohio. On January 3, 2020, the complaint was removed to the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Ohio for adjudication. The complaint sought injunctive relief, compensatory damages, statutory damages, and any other relief allowed by law for alleged off-site contamination allegedly resulting from activities on the Portsmouth GDP site. The Matthews Plaintiffs expressly contended that the ongoing and continuous releases that injured the Plaintiffs and class members were not “nuclear incidents” as that term is defined in the Price-Anderson Act, but rather “freestanding state law claims concerning traditional-style state regulation.” On July 27, 2020, the court granted the Company, Enrichment Corp. and the other ~~defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint because the Matthews Plaintiffs had opted not to proceed under the Price-Anderson Act which preempts state law.

On November 17, 2020, the Matthews Plaintiffs filed their appellant brief and on February 1, 2021, the Matthews Defendants filed their brief. On February 22, 2021, the Matthews Plaintiffs filed their reply brief. The case, which was originally scheduled for oral argument on July 29, 2021, has been postponed for a second time pursuant to Plaintiffs’ counsel’s request; a new date for oral argument has yet to be determined.fourth amended complaint.

The Company has notified its insurance carrier regarding the claim. On February 11, 2021, the Walburn Plaintiffs amended their complaint for a second time to replace two corporate defendants with two others (one of whom was a contractor toand Enrichment Corp. and also to its predecessor prior to its privatization in 1998 and the other a former DOE contractor) and removed four named individual defendants from the complaint. On March 2, 2021, Walburn Defendants filed their motion to dismiss. On July 14, 2021, the court put the case on hold until November 11, 2021, to give the Plaintiffs the opportunity to retain new counsel. The court conditionally granted the Plaintiffs’ local counsel’s request to withdraw as counsel and terminated the representation of the two other co-counsel. The Company believes that its operations at the Portsmouth GDP site were fully in compliance with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s regulations. Further, the Company believes that any such liability should be indemnified under the Price-Anderson Act. The Company and Enrichment Corp. have provided notifications to DOE required to invoke indemnification under the Price-Anderson Act and other contractual provisions.

Centrus is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, other than the above, Centrus does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters, individually and in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its cash flows, results of operations, or consolidated financial condition.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the unaudited ~~condensed consolidated financial statements~~Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements particularly in light of the economic, social, and market uncertainty created by, among other things, the ~~COVID-19~~COVID -19 pandemic, including emerging ~~variants.~~variants, and the war in Ukraine. See “Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

Centrus Energy Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Centrus,” the “Company”, “we” or “us”), is a trusted supplier of nuclear fuel components and services for the nuclear power industry, which provides a reliable source of ~~carbon-free~~carbon free energy. 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 ~~otherwise indicates.~~indicates otherwise.

Centrus operates two business segments: (a) low-enriched uranium (“LEU”), which supplies various components of nuclear fuel to ~~utilities~~commercial customers from our global network of suppliers, and (b) technical solutions, which provides advanced engineering, design, and manufacturing services to government and private sector customers and is deploying uranium enrichment 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 enriched uranium, the fissile component of nuclear fuel to customers, which are primarily utilities ~~operating~~that operate commercial nuclear power plants. The majority of these sales are for the enrichment component of LEU, which is measured in separative work units (“SWU”). Centrus also sells natural uranium (the raw material needed to produce LEU) and occasionally sells LEU with the natural uranium, uranium conversion, 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 our inventory, ~~medium-~~medium and ~~long- term~~long-term supply contracts, and spot purchases. 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 global order book includes spot, medium and long-term sales contracts with major utilities ~~through 2030.~~and other customers to 2029. We have secured cost-competitive supplies of SWU under medium and long-term contracts through the end of this decade to ~~allow~~help us to fill our existing customer orders and make new sales. A market-related price reset provision in our largest supply contract took effect at the beginning of 2019, – when market prices for SWU were near historic lows, – which has significantly lowered our cost of sales and contributed to improved margins. ~~Spot~~

Published spot price indicators for SWU ~~have risen by approximately 59% since~~ reached historic highs in April 2009 at $163 per SWU. In the years following the 2011 Fukushima accident in Japan, spot prices declined more than 75%,bottoming out in August ~~2018.~~

2018 at $34 per SWU. This was followed by a slow and steady rise, reaching $56 per SWU by December 31, 2021. In ~~October 2020,~~2022, spot prices have risen substantially, reaching $87 per SWU by June 30, 2022.This represents an increase of 55% since the ~~U.S. Department of Commerce reached agreement with the Russian Federation on an extension~~beginning of the ~~1992 Russian Suspension Agreement,~~year and 156% over the 2018 historic low. This sudden surge in the SWU spot price has been driven by uncertainty created as a ~~trade agreement which allows for Russian-origin~~result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, coupled with growing interest in nuclear ~~fuel to be exported to the United States in limited quantities. The two parties agreed to extend the agreement through 2040~~power as a source of secure and to set aside a significant portion of the quota for shipments to the United States through 2028 to execute Centrus’ long-term supply agreement (the “TENEX Supply Contract”) with the Russian government entity, TENEX, Joint-Stock Company (“TENEX”). This outcome allows for sufficient quota for Centrus to continue serving its utility customers.

controls against certain Russian organizations and/or individuals. While sanctions imposed to date do not preclude imports of Russian uranium products, it is possible that additional restrictions could arise in the future that would affect our ability to purchase and re-sell Russian uranium enrichment, which could have a negative material impact on our business. Further, sanctions could be imposed that may impact our ability to transport, import, take delivery or make payments related to the LEU we purchase.

Even if sanctions or other restrictions are not imposed, the current events in Ukraine could impact our ability to make future sales. For example, customers may be unwilling to accept material we purchase from TENEX. Further, since a portion of the price paid under the supply contract is based on commodity indices, the recent increases in market prices, as a result of the war in Ukraine, will have a corresponding impact on our cost of sales.

When Russian supply is included, the uranium enrichment segment of the nuclear fuel market is oversupplied, but without Russian supply, the global market would be undersupplied for uranium enrichment. Changes in the supply-demand balance and in the competitive landscape arising from the war in Ukraine may affect pricing trends, change customer spending patterns, and create uncertainty in the uranium market. To address these changes, we will continue to evaluate opportunities to grow our business organically or through acquisitions and other strategic transactions.

Our technical solutions segment is deploying uranium enrichment 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, while 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 ~~has as its goal~~is dedicated to the restoration of America’s domestic uranium enrichment capability to play a critical role in meeting U.S. national security and energy security requirements inand advancing America’s nonproliferation, ~~objectives,~~energy security, and climate objectives. Our technical solutions segment also is focused on repairing broken and vulnerable supply chains, providing clean energy jobs, and supporting the communities in ~~delivering~~which we operate. Our goal is to deliver major components of the next-generation nuclear fuels that will power the future of nuclear energy as it provides reliable carbon-free power around the world.

The United States has not had a domestic uranium enrichment capability suitable to meet ongoing and enduring U.S. national security requirements since the ~~aging~~ Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (“Paducah GDP”) shut down in 2013. Longstanding U.S. policy and binding nonproliferation agreements prohibit the use of foreign-origin enrichment technology for certain U.S. national security missions. Our AC100M centrifuge currently is ~~currently~~ the only deployment-ready U.S. uranium enrichment technology in the ~~U.S.~~United States that can meet these national security requirements.

Centrus is ~~uniquely positioned~~working to ~~lead the transition to a new nuclear fuel component known as~~pioneer U.S. production of high-assay, low-enriched uranium (“HALEU”), ~~which~~enabling the deployment of a new generation of HALEU-fueled reactors to meet the world’s growing need for carbon-free power. HALEU is a high-performance nuclear fuel component that is expected to be required by ~~the commercial and government sectors for~~ a number of advanced reactor and fuel designs, ~~currently~~which are now under ~~development. Centrus is the only company with a license from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (“NRC”) to enrich HALEU.~~development for commercial and government uses. While existing reactors typically operate on LEU with the uranium-235 isotope concentration below 5%, HALEU ~~has a~~is further enriched so that the uranium-235 concentration ~~ranging from~~is between 5% toand 20%~~, giving it several~~. The higher U-235 concentration offers a number of potential ~~technical~~advantages, which may include better fuel utilization, improved performance, fewer refueling outages, simpler reactor designs, reduced waste volumes, and economic advantages. For example, the higher concentration of uranium-235 means that reactors can be smaller and require less frequent refueling. Reactors can also achieve higher “burnup” rates, meaning that a smaller volume of fuel will be required overall and less waste will be produced. HALEU may also be used in the future to fabricate next-generation fuel forms for the existing fleet of reactors in the United States and around the world. These new HALEU-based fuels could enhance the economics of nuclear reactors and their inherent safety features while increasing the amount of electricity that can be generated at existing reactors. HALEU fuel may also ultimately be used in new commercial and government applications in the future, such as reactors for the U.S. military or the U.S. space program.greater nonproliferation resistance.

~~In 2019,~~The lack of a domestic HALEU supply is widely viewed as a major obstacle to the successful commercialization of these new reactors. For example, in surveys conducted by the U.S. Nuclear Industry Council in 2021 and 2020, advanced reactor developers indicated that the number one issue that “keeps you up at night” was access to HALEU. As the only company with a license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (“NRC”) to enrich up to 20% uranium-235 assay HALEU, Centrus ~~began work on~~is uniquely positioned to fill a critical gap in the supply chain and facilitate the deployment of these promising next-generation reactors.

Under a three-year ~~$115 million~~ cost-share contract with DOE that began in 2019 (the “HALEU Contract”) ~~with the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) to deploy~~, Centrus has been constructing a cascade of ~~16 of our~~sixteen AC100M centrifuges in Piketon, Ohio to demonstrate HALEU production.The Company’s goal is to complete the demonstration and scale up production of HALEU ~~with domestic technology. Despite~~and LEU, meeting the ~~challenges~~needs of COVID-19, we have continued to make progress under the HALEU Contract. In June 2021, Centrus announced that the NRC approved the Company’s license amendment request to enrich HALEU at the Piketon, Ohio, enrichment facility (the “Piketon facility”). The Piketon facility is currently the onlynew and existing reactors as well as national security and other U.S. facility licensed to enrich uranium up to 20% Uranium-235 (U-235). Centrus expects to begin demonstrating HALEU production of modest quantities of HALEU in early 2022 at the Piketon facility. The HALEU Contract term is through May 31, 2022.government requirements for enriched uranium.

~~At present, work under~~The demonstration contract was originally set to expire on June 1, 2022. However, the ~~HALEU Contract remains on schedule but we have been experiencing increased delays from vendors and increased costs due to the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, COVID-19~~DOE experienced a COVID -19 related supply chain ~~difficulties may also affect DOE~~delay in ~~its supply of equipment that~~obtaining the HALEU storage cylinders it was supposed to provide under the contract.Since it is ~~required~~not possible to ~~furnish under~~begin HALEU production without the ~~contract.~~ ~~As a result, we currently estimate that costs~~storage cylinders, it was not possible to complete the operational portion of the HALEU demonstration under the existing HALEU Contract. The HALEU Contract has been extended to November 30, 2022, with authorization to work through August 31, 2022. Also, the DOE elected to change the scope of the HALEU Contract and move the operational portion of the demonstration to a new, competitively-awarded contract that would provide for operations beyond the term of the existing HALEU Contract.

On June 28, 2022, the DOE released a request for proposals (“RFP”) for the completion and operation of the demonstration cascade.The RFP provides for a 50/50 cost share contract for the initial phase of the base contract to complete the cascade and begin operations.The RFP envisions a second phase of the base contract under a cost-plus-incentive-fee arrangement.Finally, the RFP includes options to extend performance for up to an additional nine years comprised of three options of three-years each, also on a cost-plus-incentive-fee basis. The award of a contract and the exercise of any options is subject to appropriation. If a contract is awarded to the Company under the terms proposed by DOE in the RFP, the cost share could have a material impact on the Company’s liquidity during the initial phase of the base contract although the degree of impact cannot be estimated at this time. DOE has continued to fund the existing HALEU contract and has incrementally increased ~~approximately $8.8 million over the 2019 initial estimate.~~ funds with total funding to date of $154.0 million.

Additional ~~COVID-19 related~~COVID -19-related impacts, delays in ~~DOE~~DOE’s furnishing equipment, or additional changes to the existing scope of the HALEU Contract could result in further material ~~further~~ increases to our estimate of the costs required to complete the ~~demonstration cascade and produce~~existing HALEU Contract, as well as delay completion of the ~~HALEU Contract.~~ contract.

The war in Ukraine has contributed to a significant increase in market prices for enrichment and prompted calls for public and private investment in new, domestic uranium enrichment capacity not only for HALEU production but also for LEU production to support the existing fleet of reactors. As a result, Centrus is exploring the opportunity to deploy LEU enrichment alongside HALEU enrichment to meet a range of commercial and U.S. government requirements, which would bring cost synergies while increasing revenue opportunities. Our ability to deploy LEU and/or HALEU enrichment, and the timing, sequencing, and scale of those capabilities, is subject to the availability of funding and/or offtake commitments.

We believe our ~~investment~~investments in our enrichment technology and the HALEU ~~technology~~demonstration will position the Company to meet the needs of government and commercial customers in the future as they deploy advanced reactors and next generation ~~fuels.~~fuels, and also offers potential cost synergies for a return to LEU production. At present, there are a number of ~~demonstration~~ advanced reactors under ~~development.~~ development that would use HALEU fuel. For example, of the ten advanced reactor designs selected by the DOE for its Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program, nine will require HALEU. In addition, the first non-light water reactor to have begun active NRC-license review requires HALEU. The U.S. Department of Defense recently awarded a contract to construct a prototype HALEU-fueled mobile microreactor in the next three to four years as part of a program called “Project Pele.” The U.S. Air Force also announced plans to deploy a microreactor at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska that uses HALEU fuel. While the use of HALEU is not an express requirement of the Air Force program, the vast majority of microreactor designs are expected to need HALEU. In addition, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (“DARPA”) is funding an effort called Demonstration Rocket for Agile Cislunar Operations (“DRACO”), which aims to demonstrate a HALEU-fueled nuclear thermal propulsion system that could eventually support missions to the moon and Mars.

Advanced nuclear reactors promise to provide an important source of reliable carbon-free power. By investing in HALEU technology now, and as the only American-based company with an NRC license currently pursuing HALEU enrichment capability, we believe the Company ~~could be~~is well positioned to capitalize on a potential new market as the demand for HALEU-based fuels ~~increases~~is expected to increase in the mid- to late-2020s with the development of advanced reactors. ~~Further,~~However, there are no guarantees about whether or when government or commercial demand for HALEU will materialize, and there are a number of technical, regulatory, and economic hurdles that must be overcome for these fuels and reactors to come to the market. Also, foreign government-owned, government-operated, and ~~operated~~other new competitors could seek to enter the market and offer HALEU at ~~more~~ competitive prices. There is one known foreign government-owned source which currently has the capability to produce HALEU, although this source is currently subject to trade restrictions that limit the amount of material from this source which may be imported into the United ~~States.~~States with more restrictions potentially under consideration.

One such foreign-government owned entity has expressed an interest in and potential capability for HALEU production but has not committed publicly to enter the market to enrich above 10% uranium-235 enrichment assays. ~~These potential market participants have~~This entity has indicated publicly that it would take 6six to 7seven years to be able to produce HALEU.

The HALEU demonstration program is expected to be completed in early 2022, and we have been working on developing options to sustain and expand our demonstrated capability for the period following the conclusion of the program. Our goal is to scale up the Piketon facility in modular fashion as demand for HALEU grows in the commercial and government sectors, subject to the availability of funding and/or contracts to purchase the HALEU.

On May 28, 2021, the President submitted his proposed budget for government fiscal year 2022, which runs from October 1, 2021, to September 30, 2022. The budget proposal included approximately $33 million for the creation of a new “HALEU availability” program as authorized by the Energy Act of 2020. The DOE’s Office of Nuclear Energy has listed the Energy Act of 2020 in the President’s budget to support the provision of HALEU as one of its key takeaways, stating: “For advanced reactors to realize their full potential, most will require a fuel that is not currently available at commercial scale. [The Department] is seeking $33 million to initiate a new program to provide high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) for advanced reactor demonstration projects and future commercialization. The new program, authorized by the Energy Act of 2020, responds to congressional direction to ensure HALEU fuel is commercially available when advanced reactors enter the marketplace.”

As the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy further stated: “It is projected that more than 40 metric tons of HALEU will be needed by 2030 with additional amounts required each year to deploy a new fleet of advanced reactors and support the Administration’s net-zero emissions targets by 2050.” In addition, the budget proposal states that one of the goals of the HALEU availability program is to “Continue to operate the 16-centrifuge cascade in Piketon to provide a limited amount of HALEU while working on efforts to commercialize the technology.”

While we are encouraged by the President’s budget submission and the statements made by DOE, as well as indications of strong bipartisan and stakeholder support, it is not clear how much funding, if any, will be included in the final U.S. government budget for 2022. Further, it is not clear what portion, if any, of the final budget would be allocated to the demonstration cascade or other Centrus projects. Finally, there is no assurance that sufficient government or commercial funding or demand for material will be timely secured to permit the continued operation or expansion of the demonstration cascade. If sufficient funding or a contract for the output is not secured, we would need to terminate operation of the demonstration cascade or continue to operate the cascade at what may be a substantial loss with an adverse effect on our liquidity. Refer to ~~Operating Results -Technical Solutions~~ ~~below and Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 foradditional details, as updated in this report in Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors.~~

In late 2020, DOE announced ten awards under its Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (“ARDP”) aimed at helping innovative, next-generation reactor designs to overcome technical and financial obstacles to allow for commercialization. This includes a commitment to support construction of two demonstration reactors over the next seven years and awards to support continued development of eight other reactor designs. Nine of the ten reactor designs chosen are expected to require HALEU fuel.

Centrus has built formal and informal relationships with most of the ARDP awardees and expects to be first to market with domestically-produced HALEU that could be used to fuel these reactors. For example, on September 15, 2020, Centrus made a joint announcement with TerraPower LLC (“TerraPower”) that the two companies plan to work together toward establishing commercial-scale domestic HALEU production capabilities. Centrus also has worked under a series of contracts with X Energy, LLC (“X-energy”), a pioneering advanced reactor and advanced nuclear fuel company, to support X-energy’s work to develop a facility to fabricate HALEU into an advanced fuel called tristructural isotropic (“TRISO”) fuel.

On October 13, 2020, DOE announced it had selected TerraPower and X-energy to receive $160 million in initial funding under the new ARDP. While first-year funding for the two companies totaled $160 million, DOE announced its intent ultimately to provide a combined total of $3.2 billion over a seven year period to help TerraPower and X-energy build their first reactors. The awards are subject to annual appropriations by Congress and there can be no assurance that the projects will be completed. We have preliminarily agreed to provide support to each of these teams as part of our strategy to become the preferred fuel provider to the next generation of advanced reactors. However, we do not have a contract to fuel the reactors and there is no assurance that the reactor projects will go forward or that TerraPower and X-energy will ultimately purchase HALEU from Centrus to fuel the reactors.

~~On October 13, 2020, Centrus announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding with Terrestrial Energy USA (“TEUSA”)~~ to secure fuel supply for a future fleet of TEUSA’s Integral Molten Salt Reactor (“IMSR”) power plants. The two companies will evaluate the logistical, regulatory, and transportation requirements to establish fuel supply for IMSR power plants, which use LEU. ~~There can be no assurance that the Company and TEUSA will ultimately enter into a contract on terms that will be acceptable.~~

With the specialized capabilities and workforce at our Technology and Manufacturing Center in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, we are performing technical, engineering and manufacturing services for a range of commercial and government customers and actively working to secure new customers. Our experience developing, licensing, manufacturing, and operating advanced nuclear components and systems positions us to provide critical design, engineering, manufacturing, and other services to a broad range of potential clients, including those involving sensitive or classified technologies. This work includes design, engineering, manufacturing, and licensing services support for advanced reactor and fuel fabrication projects as well as D&D work.

The Company continues to review opportunities to improve its capital structure and to enhance shareholder value. As a result, pursuant to a sales agreement with its agents, the Company sold at the market price an aggregate of 1,238,637 shares of its Class A Common Stock in the six months ended June 30, 2021, for a total of $28.7 million. After expenses and commissions paid to the agents, the Company’s proceeds total $27.6 million. Additionally, the Company recorded direct costs of $0.4 million related to the issuance. The shares of Class A Common Stock were issued pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-239242), which became effective on August 5, 2020, and a prospectus supplement dated December 31, 2020, to the prospectus. In addition and in connection with the entry into the amendment (the “Voting Agreement Amendment”) to its existing Voting and Nomination Agreement with Mr. Morris Bawabeh, Kulayba LLC and M&D Bawabeh Foundation, Inc., the Company and Kulayba LLC also entered into an Exchange Agreement, dated February 2, 2021 (the “Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which Kulayba LLC agreed to exchange (the “Exchange”) 3,873 shares of the Company’s outstanding Series B Senior Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Preferred Stock”), representing a $5,000,198 liquidation preference (including accrued and unpaid dividends), for (i) 231,276 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, priced at the closing market price of $21.62 on the date the Exchange Agreement was signed and (ii) a Centrus Energy Corp. Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (the “Warrant”), exercisable for 250,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $21.62 per share, which was

the closing market price on the date the Exchange Agreement was signed, subject to certain customary adjustments pursuant to the terms of the Warrant. The Company retired the 3,873 shares of Preferred Stock received by the Company under the Exchange Agreement.

The nuclear industry in general, and the nuclear fuel industry in particular, is in a period of significant change, which continues to affect the competitive landscape. In the years following the 2011 Fukushima accident in Japan, the published market prices for uranium enrichment declined more than 75% through mid-2018. While the monthly price indicators have since increased, the uranium enrichment segment of the nuclear fuel market remains oversupplied and faces uncertainty about future demand for nuclear power generation. Changes in the competitive landscape affect pricing trends, change customer spending patterns, and create uncertainty. To address these changes, we have taken steps to adjust our cost structure; we may seek further adjustments to our cost structure and operations and evaluate opportunities to grow our business organically or through acquisitions and other strategic transactions.

We are also actively considering and expect to consider from time to time in the future, potential strategic transactions, which could involve, without limitation, acquisitions and/or dispositions of businesses or assets, joint ventures or investments in businesses, products or technologies or changes to our capital structure. In connection with any such transaction, we may seek additional debt or equity financing, contribute or dispose of assets, assume additional indebtedness, or partner with other parties to consummate a transaction.

Market Conditions and Outlook

The global nuclear industry outlook has begun to improve after many years of decline or stagnation. The development of advanced small and large-scale reactors, innovative advanced fuel types, and the commitment of nations to begin deploying or to increase the share of nuclear power in their nations has created optimism in the market. Part of the momentum has resulted from efforts to lower greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change and improve health and safety.

According to the World Nuclear Association, as of June 2022, there were 55 reactors under construction worldwide, about a third of which are in China. The United States, with 92 operating reactors, remains the world’s largest market for nuclear fuel. The nuclear industry in the United States, Japan, and Europe faces headwinds as well as opportunities. In the United States, the industry has been under pressure from lower cost natural gas resources, until recently as gas prices have been rising, and the expansion of subsidized renewable energy. Twelve U.S. reactors have prematurely shut down in the past ten years and others could shut down in the next few years. At the same time, there are active efforts to develop, demonstrate, and deploy next generation reactors in the United States, many of which are expected to require HALEU.

As a consequence of the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, over 60 reactors in Japan and Germany were taken offline, and other countries curtailed or slowed their construction of new reactors or accelerated the retirement of existing plants. While ten reactors in Japan have restarted and more are expected to restart, supply and demand dynamics for nuclear fuel continue to be impacted. Due to the war in Ukraine, the European Union is encouraging its member countries to reconsider the planned early retirement of existing plants in order to reduce reliance on Russian gas imports.

In October 2020, the U.S. Department of Commerce reached an agreement with the Russian Federation on an extension of the 1992 Russian Suspension Agreement, a trade agreement that allows for Russian-origin nuclear fuel to be exported to the United States in limited quantities. The two parties agreed to extend the agreement through 2040 and to set aside a significant portion of the quota for Centrus’ shipments to the United States through 2028 to perform under our long-term supply (purchase) agreement (the “TENEX Supply Contract”) with the Russian government entity, TENEX, Joint-Stock Company (“TENEX”). This outcome allowed for sufficient quota for Centrus to continue serving its utility customers.

The war in Ukraine has escalated tensions between Russia and the international community. As a result, the United States and other countries have imposed, and may continue imposing, additional sanctions and export controls against certain Russian organizations and/or individuals. While sanctions imposed to date do not preclude the import of Russian uranium products into the United States, it is possible that additional restrictions could be added in the future that would affect our ability to purchase and re-sell Russian uranium enrichment, which could have a negative material impact on our business. Further, sanctions by the United States, Russia or other countries may impact our ability and cost to transport, export, import, take delivery, or make payments related to the LEU we purchase and may require us to increase purchases from non-Russian sources to the extent available.

In response to the war in Ukraine, there have been proposals in U.S. Congress and elsewhere to ban imports of uranium that could affect our ability to import LEU in one or more years under the Russian Suspension Agreement but none of these have been adopted as of the date of this filing.

The expanding sanctions imposed by the United States and foreign governments on the mechanisms used to make payments to Russia and to obtain services including transportation and other services have increased the risk that implementation of the TENEX Supply Contract may be disrupted in the future.Accordingly, we continue to monitor the situation closely and assess the potential impact of any new sanctions and how the impact on the Company might be mitigated.

Revenue

We have two reportable segments: the LEU segment and the technical solutions segment.

Revenue from our LEU segment is derived primarily from the following:

•sales of the SWU component of ~~LEU;~~LEU,

•sales of ~~both the SWU and~~natural uranium, ~~components of LEU;~~ and

•sales of enriched uranium product that include both the natural ~~uranium.~~uranium and SWU components of LEU.

Our technical solutions segment reflects our technical, manufacturing, engineering, and operations services offered to public and private sector customers, including engineering and testing activities as well as technical and resource support currently being performed by the Company. This includes the HALEU Contract and a variety of other contracts with public and private sector customers.

SWU and Uranium Sales

Revenue from our LEU segment accounted for approximately 86% and 77% of our total revenue ~~in 2020.~~for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The majority of our customers are domestic and international utilities that operate nuclear power plants, with international sales constituting approximately ~~one-third~~50% of revenue from our LEU segment ~~in recent years.~~since 2020. Our agreements with electric utilities are primarily medium and long-term fixed-commitment contracts under which our customers are obligated to purchase a specified quantity of the SWU component of LEU from us. Contracts where we sell both the SWU and natural uranium component of LEU to utilities or where we sell natural uranium to utilities and other nuclear fuel related companies are generally shorter-term, fixed-commitment contracts.

~~Centrus recognizes revenue~~Revenue is recognized at the time LEU or uranium is delivered under the terms of our contracts. The timing of customer deliveries is affected by, among other things, electricity markets, reactor operations, maintenance and refueling outages, and customer inventories. Based on customers’ individual needs, some customers are building inventories and may choose to take deliveries under annual purchase obligations later in the year or in subsequent years. Customer payments for the SWU component of LEU ~~average roughly $5 million to $10~~averaged approximately $6.5 million per ~~order.~~order in the six months ended June 30, 2022. As a result, a relatively small change in the timing of customer orders for LEU may cause significant variability in our operating ~~results.~~results year over year.

Utility customers, in general, have the option to make payment but defer receipt of SWU and uranium products purchased from Centrus beyond the contractual sale period, resulting in the deferral of costs and revenue recognition. Refer to Note 2, Revenue and Contracts with Customers, in the ~~unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements~~Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Our financial performance over time can be affected significantly by changes in prices for SWU and natural uranium. ~~Since 2011, market~~Market prices for SWU and uranium significantly declined from 2011 until mid-2018, when they began to trend upward. More recently, market uncertainty in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine has driven SWU and uranium prices sharply higher.Since our sales order book includes contracts awarded to us in previous years, the average SWU price billed to customers typically lags behind published price indicators by several years. While newer sales reflect the ~~market~~low prices prevalent in recent years, ~~a few~~certain older contracts included in our order book have sales prices that are significantly above current market prices.

Recent proposals to severely limit or cut off supply of LEU from Russia have drawn attention to the potential for significant tightening of supplies in the market.Russian enrichment plants represent 46% of the world’s capacity, and Russian capacity significantly exceeds its domestic needs. Without Russian supply it is estimated that demand for enrichment for reactors outside of Russia would far exceed supply, which potentially threatens the viability of

2927

some reactors, including those in the United States.While inventories and increased production at non-Russian plants may mitigate the shortfall, these options would not fully replace Russian supply. Deployment of new capacity ultimately could replace Russian enrichment but this capacity will take a number of years and significant funding from private or government sources to come on line.

The following chart summarizes long-term and spot SWU price indicators, and a spot price indicator for natural uranium hexafluoride (“UF6”), as published by TradeTech, LLC in Nuclear Market Review:

Our contracts with customers are denominated primarily in U.S. dollars, and although revenue has not been materially affected by changes in the foreign exchange rate of the U.S. dollar, we may have a competitive price advantage or disadvantage obtaining new contracts in a competitive bidding process depending upon the weakness or strength of the U.S. dollar. On occasion, we will accept payment in euros for spot sales that may be subject to short-term exchange rate risk. Costs of our primary competitors are denominated in other currencies. Our contracts with suppliers are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. We have a SWU supply agreement, nominally commencing in 2023, with prices payable in a combination of U.S. dollars and euros, but with a contract-defined exchange rate.

On occasion, we will accept payment for SWU in the form of natural uranium. Revenue from the sale of SWU under such contracts is recognized at the time LEU is delivered and is based on the fair value of the natural uranium at contract inception, or as the quantity of natural uranium is finalized, if variable.

Cost of sales for SWU and natural uranium is based on the amount of SWU and ~~uranium~~natural uranium sold and delivered during the period and unit inventory costs. Unit inventory costs are determined using the average cost

Cost of sales includes costs for inventory management at off-site licensed locations. Cost of sales also includes certain legacy costs related to former employees of the Portsmouth GDP and Paducah ~~GDP.~~GDP.

Technical Solutions

Our technical solutions segment reflects our technical, manufacturing, engineering, and operations services offered to public and private sector customers, including the American Centrifuge engineering, procurement, construction, manufacturing, and operations services being performed under the HALEU Contract. With our government and private sector customers, we seek to leverage our domestic enrichment technology and experience, engineering know-how, and precision manufacturing facility to assist customers with a range of engineering, design, and advanced manufacturing projects, including the production of fuel for next-generation nuclear reactors and the development of related facilities. We continue to invest in advanced technology because of the potential for future growth into new areas of business for the Company, while also preserving our unique workforce at our Technology and Manufacturing Center in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and our production facility near Piketon, Ohio.

Government Contracting

On October 31, 2019, we signed the three-year cost-share HALEU Contract with DOE to deploy a cascade of centrifuges to demonstrate production of HALEU for advanced reactors. The three-year program has been under way since May 31, 2019, when the Company and DOE signed an interim HALEU letter agreement that allowed work to begin while the full contract was being finalized. We continue to invest in advanced technology because of the potential for future growth into new areas of business for the Company, while also preserving our unique workforce at our Technology and Manufacturing Center in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and our production facility in Piketon, Ohio. The Company entered into this cost-share contract with DOE as a critical first step on the road back to the commercial production of enriched uranium, which the Company had terminated in 2013 with the closure of the Paducah GDP. The existing HALEU Contract ~~once fully implemented, is~~was originally expected to result in the Company having ~~demonstrated~~constructed centrifuges using the ~~capability~~AC100M technology and enable the systems to enrich uranium to the 20% concentration in the uranium-235 isotope that is required by many of the advanced reactor concepts now under development. Centrus is the only company with an NRC license to enrich HALEU.

Under the HALEU Contract, DOE agreed to reimburse the Company for 80% of its costs incurred in performing the contract, up to a maximum of $115 million. The Company’s cost share is the corresponding 20% and any costs the Company elects to incur above these amounts. Costs under the HALEU Contract include ~~program costs, including internal labor, third-party services and materials and associated indirect costs that are classified as~~ ~~Cost of Sales, and an allocation of corporate costs supporting the program that are classified as~~ ~~Selling, General and Administrative Expenses~~. Services to be provided over the three-year contract include constructing and assembling centrifuge machines and related infrastructure in a cascade formation and production of a small quantity of HALEU. When estimates of total costs for such an integrated, construction-type contract exceed estimates of total revenue to be earned, a provision for the remaining loss on the contract is recorded to ~~Cost of Sales~~ in the period the loss is determined. Our corporate costs supporting the program are recognized as expense as incurred over the duration of the contract term. In 2019, the portion of our anticipated cost share under the HALEU Contract representing our share of projected program costs was recognized in ~~Cost of Sales~~ as an accrued loss of $18.3 million. The accrued loss on the contract is being adjusted over the remaining contract term based on actual results, remaining program cost projections and the Company’s anticipated cost-share. ~~Cost of Sales~~ in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, benefited by $4.6 million and $5.3 million, respectively, for previously accrued contract losses attributable to work performed in the periods. As of June 30, 2021, a total of $15.2 million of previously accrued contract losses have been realized and the accrued contract loss balance included in ~~Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities~~ was $3.1 million. Our HALEU Contract expires May 31, 2022 and although we believe demand for HALEU will emerge over the next several years thereafter, there are no guarantees about whether or when government or commercial demand for HALEU will materialize, and there are a number of technical, regulatory and economic hurdles that must be overcome for these fuels and reactors to come to the market.

At present, work under the HALEU Contract remains on schedule but we have been experiencing increased delays from vendors and increased costs due to the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, COVID-19 related supply chain difficulties may also affect DOE in its supply of equipment that it is required to furnish under the contract. As a result, we currently estimate that costs to complete the existing scope of the HALEU Contract have increased approximately $8.8 million over the 2019 initial estimate. Additional COVID-19 related impacts, delays in DOE furnishing equipment, or changes to the existing scope of the HALEU Contract could result in material further increases to our estimate of the costs required to complete the demonstration cascade and produce HALEU, as well as delay completion of the HALEU Contract. The Company does not currently have a contractual obligation to perform work in excess of the 2019 initial cost estimate for the HALEU Contract and therefore, no additional costs have been accrued as of June 30, 2021. We have informed DOE that we currently estimate the cost to complete the demonstration cascade and produce HALEU has increased from the 2019 initial cost estimate and we plan to seek additional funding commitments from DOE for the additional costs. If the Company commits to a plan to complete the demonstration cascade and produce HALEU and DOE does not commit to fully fund the additional costs, we may incur material additional costs or losses in future periods that could have an adverse impact on our financial condition and liquidity.

Under the current agreement, effective November 2020, the cumulative value of the additional task orders issued provides for payments to us of $6.8 million and in-kind contributions to be provided by us of $3.0 million.

~~In addition, we have entered into other contracts for engineering, design, and advanced manufacturing services with other commercial entities.~~

~~Prior Site Services Work~~

We formerly performed sites services work under contracts with DOE and its contractors at the former Portsmouth GDP and Paducah GDP. The Company and DOE have yet to fully settle the Company’s claims for reimbursements for certain pension and postretirement benefits costs related to past contract work performed at the Portsmouth GDP and Paducah GDP. There is the potential to recognize additional income for this work pending the outcome of legal proceedings related to the Company’s claims for payment and the potential release of previously established valuation allowances on receivables.

Revenue

Revenue from the LEU segment ~~decreased $18.2~~was $85.5 million ~~(or 29%) in the three months~~ and $10.8 million (or 11%) in the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the corresponding periods in 2020. SWU revenue in 2020 included a one-time payment of $32.4 million collected from a customer as part of the customer’s bankruptcy proceeding. Excluding this one-time payment in 2020, revenue from the sales of SWU increased $19.0$45.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and ~~$26.4~~2021, respectively, an increase of $40.3 million (or 89%). The increase is due to a 136% increase in the average price of SWU, partially offset by a 20% decrease in the volume of SWU sold for the three months ended June 30, 2022, largely due to the variability in timing of utility customer orders and related contracts.

Revenue from uranium sales was $0 in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Revenue from the technical solutions segment was $13.6 million and $17.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $3.6 million (or 21%). The decrease in revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily related to a $2.9 million decrease in revenue generated by the HALEU Contract and a $1.0 million decrease in revenue generated by the X-energy contract.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the LEU segment was $26.1 million and $27.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $0.9 million (or 3%). The decrease largely reflects decreases in the volume of SWU sold and in the average SWU unit cost. The volume of SWU sold decreased 20% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and the average SWU unit cost decreased 5%. Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2022, included $5.5 million for the revaluation of obligations for SWU borrowed in 2018-2022.

Cost of sales for the technical solutions segment was $12.1 million and $18.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $6.2 million (or 34%). The decrease of $6.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, is related to a reduction in costs of approximately $5.6 million associated with the HALEU Contract and a reduction in costs of approximately $1.0 million associated with the X-energy contract, partially offset by new contract work of approximately $0.4 million. For details on HALEU Contract accounting, refer to “Technical Solutions - Government Contracting” above.

Gross Profit (Loss)

Gross profit for the LEU segment was $59.4 million and $18.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $41.2 million (or 226%). The $41.2 million increase in gross profit in the three months ended June 30, 2022, was due primarily to an increase in the average profit margin per SWU, which was partially offset by a decrease in SWU sales volume.

Gross profit for the technical solutions segment was $1.5 million compared to a gross loss of $1.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $2.6 million (or 236%). The $2.6 million increase in gross profit in the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily related to a $2.7 million increase in the gross profit generated from the HALEU Contract. The increase related to the HALEU Contract is primarily attributable to the Company’s costs under the HALEU Contract being fully recoverable in the current year as the Company had contributed its contractually required cost share as of December 31, 2021.

Gross Profit (Loss)

We realized a gross profit of $17.1 million in the three months and $28.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a gross profit of $43.8 million and $63.4 million in the corresponding periods in 2020. Gross profit infor the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, included $32.4 million collected from a customer in settlement of a supply contract that was rejected as part of the customer’s bankruptcy proceeding. Excluding these proceeds from the 2020 periods, gross profit increased $5.7 million in the three-month period and decreased $2.2 million in the six-month period.

~~Our~~ LEU segment ~~realized a gross profit of $18.2~~was $62.3 million ~~in the three months~~ and $30.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $31.4 million (or 102%). The increase in gross profit was due primarily to an increase in the average profit margin per SWU, which was partially offset by a decrease in SWU sales volume.

Gross profit for the technical solutions segment was $4.9 million compared to a gross profit of $44.5 million and $61.9 million in the corresponding periods in 2020. Excluding the recovery on bankruptcy court claims of $32.4 million in the prior periods, the gross profit for SWU sales increased $6.1 million in the three-month period and $1.4 million in the six-month period due primarily to increases in SWU sales volume and decreases in the average SWU unit cost, ~~partially offset by~~ ~~decreases in the average SWU sales price~~.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets ~~decreased $0.1~~was $4.0 million ~~(or 6%)~~and $1.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and ~~increased $0.6~~2021, respectively, an increase of $2.4 million (or ~~19%~~150%). Amortization expense for the intangible asset related to the September 2014 sales order book is a function of SWU sales volume under that order book, and amortization expense for the intangible asset related to customer relationships is amortized on a straight-line basis.

Nonoperating Components of Net Periodic Benefit Expense (Income)

Nonoperating components of net periodic benefit expense (income) netted to income of $3.4 million and $4.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $0.9 million (or 21%).

Nonoperating components of net periodic benefit expense (income) consist primarily of the expected return on plan assets, offset by interest cost as the discounted present value of benefit obligations nears payment, as described in Note 8, Pension and Postretirement Health and Life Benefits of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $10.8 million and $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $10.6 million (or 5300%). Income tax expense in all periods resulted from applying the annual effective tax rate to year-to-date income from continuing operations adjusted for discrete items; however, the company had minimal income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as it was in a full federal valuation allowance. The Company had released a portion of its federal valuation allowance at the end of 2021 which has enabled it to use its deferred tax assets for the income from continuing operations in the current period. For more information about the valuation allowance, see Note 13, Income Taxes, in our Consolidated Financial Statements on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Based on Centrus’ analysis, there was no change to the tax valuation allowance during the first or second quarters of 2022.

Net Income

Net income was $37.4 million and $11.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $25.8 million (or 222%). The $25.8 million increase in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to a $41.2 million increase in gross profit from the LEU segment, partially offset by a $10.6 million increase in income tax expense.

~~The 2021 income~~(or 3600%). Income tax expense in all periods resulted from applying the annual effective tax rate to year-to-date income from continuing operations adjusted for discrete ~~items. In~~items; however, the second quarter of 2020, Centrus released the tax valuation allowance on its state deferred income taxes for its LEU segment, most of which was recorded as a discrete item and resulted in an income tax benefit of $0.8 million. This income tax benefit was offset by ancompany had minimal income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as it was in a full federal valuation allowance. The Company had released a portion of ~~$0.3 million in~~ its ~~quarterly provision primarily for a current year unrecognized tax benefit.~~

~~Centrus continues to maintain a~~federal valuation allowance ~~against~~at the end of 2021 which has enabled it to use its ~~federal and certain state net~~ deferred tax assets ~~through June 30, 2021.

Although Centrus achieved a three-year cumulative income position during the second quarter of 2021, the Company determined that a valuation allowance is still necessary due to a relatively low level of cumulative pre-tax income during this period and significant net operating loss carryforwards. Centrus will continue to monitor future financial performance to determine whether such performance is both sustained and significant enough to support a reversal of all or a portion of the valuation allowance. The exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are dependent upon the actual level of profitability that is achieved as well as other positive and negative evidence.

Based on Centrus’ analysis, there was no change to the tax valuation allowance during the first or second quarters of 2022.

Net Income per Share

~~The Company measures~~Refer to Note 9, Net Income per Share, of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company measures Net Income and Net Income per Share both on a GAAP basis and on an adjusted basis to exclude deemed dividends allocable to retired preferred stock shares (“Adjusted Net Income” and “Adjusted Net Income per Share”). We believe Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share,~~”). We believe~~ ~~Adjusted Net Income per Share, a~~ which are non-GAAP financial ~~measure, provides~~measures, provide investors with additional understanding of the Company’s financial performance as well as its strategic financial planning analysis and period-to-period comparability. These metrics are useful to investors because they reflect how management evaluates the Company’s ongoing operating performance from period-to-period after removing certain transactions and activities that affect comparability of the metrics and are not reflective of the Company’s core operations.

On February 2, 2021, the Company completed the exchange of 3,873 shares of its outstanding Preferred Stock, for (i) 231,276 shares of its Class A Common Stock, and (ii) the Warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $21.62 per share, for an aggregate valuation of approximately $7.5 million. (Refer below to ~~Liquidity and Capital Resources~~ for details.) The carrying value on the Balance Sheet was $1.00 per share par value. The aggregate liquidation preference, including accrued but unpaid dividends, was $1,291.04 per share as of December 31, 2020.

~~The aggregate valuation of approximately $7.5 million, less accrued but unpaid dividends attributable to the acquired and retired Series B preferred shares, is considered for purposes of~~ ~~Net Income per Share~~ ~~to be a deemed dividend to the extent it exceeds the carrying value on the Balance Sheet, or $6.6 million.~~

~~Below we present~~ ~~Net Income Per Share~~ ~~and~~ ~~Adjusted Net Income per Share.~~ The non-GAAP financial measure is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with our GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measure should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We ended the second quarter of ~~2021~~2022, with a consolidated cash balance of ~~$176.0~~$115.6 million. We anticipate having adequate liquidity to support our business operations for at least the next 12 months from the date of this ~~report.~~Quarterly Report. Our view of liquidity is dependent on, among other things, conditions affecting our operations, including market, international trade restrictions, ~~COVID-19~~COVID -19 and other conditions, the level of expenditures and government funding for our services contracts and the timing of customer payments. Liquidity requirements for our existing operations are affected primarily by the timing and amount of customer sales and our inventory purchases.

We believe our sales order book in our LEU segment is a source of stability for our liquidity position. Subject to market conditions, we see the potential for growing uncommitted demand for LEU during the next few years with accelerated open demand in 2025 and beyond.

Cash resources and net sales proceeds from our LEU segment fund technology costs that are outside of our customer contracts in the technical solutions segment and general corporate expenses, including cash interest payments on our debt. We believe our investment in advanced U.S. uranium enrichment technology will position the Company to meet the needs of our customers as they deploy advanced reactors and next generation fuels. We signed the three-year HALEU Contract with DOE in October ~~2019 to deploy a cascade of centrifuges to demonstrate production of HALEU for advanced reactors.~~2019. Under the ~~agreement,~~HALEU Contract, the Company ~~is contributing a portion of the program costs.~~contributed its required contribution through November 30, 2021. The program has been under way since May 31, 2019, when Centrus and DOE signed a preliminary letter agreement that allowed work to begin while the full contract was being finalized.

The Company entered into this cost-share contract with DOE as a critical first step on the road back to the commercial production of enriched uranium, which the Company had terminated in 2013 with the closure of the Paducah GDP. The HALEU Contract, once fully implemented, is expected to result in the Company having the first NRC-licensed HALEU production facility in the United States and will have demonstrated the ability to enrich uranium to a 20% concentration of the U-235 isotope. HALEU is expected to be required by many of the advanced reactor designs now under development, including nine out of the ten reactor designs that were selected in 2020 for the ARDP. HALEU may also be used in advanced nuclear fuels under development for the existing fleet of reactors. In addition to commercial demand, HALEU may be needed for advanced reactor designs that are now under development for the U.S. Department of Defense. Our HALEU Contract expires in ~~June~~November 2022, and although we believe demand for HALEU will emerge inover the ~~mid to late 2020s,~~next several years, there are no guarantees about whether or when government or commercial demand for HALEU will materialize, and there are a number of technical, regulatory, and economic hurdles that must be overcome for these fuels and reactors to come to the market. ~~Since the HALEU demonstration program is expected to be completed in early 2022,~~If we are ~~focused on developing options~~able to ~~sustain and expand~~win a contract from DOE to operate the cascade, our ~~demonstrated capability for the period immediately following the conclusion of the program. Our~~ goal is to modularly scale up the facility ~~in modular fashion~~ as demand for HALEU grows in the commercial and government sectors, subject to the availability of funding and/or contracts to purchase the output of the plant. At this time, however, there is no assurance that sufficient government or commercial funding or demand for material will be timely secured to permit the continued operation or expansion of the demonstration cascade. If funding or a contract for the output are not secured, we would need to terminate operation of the demonstration cascade or continue to operate the cascade at a loss with an adverse effect on our liquidity. For further discussion, refer to Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, as updated ~~in this report in~~by Part II, Item 1A, Risk ~~Factors.~~Factors, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

~~We lease facilities~~On June 28, 2022, the DOE released an RFP for the completion and ~~related personal property in Piketon, Ohio, from DOE. In connection with~~operation of the ~~HALEU Contract, DOE and Centrus renewed~~demonstration cascade.If a contract is awarded to the ~~lease agreement in 2019 and extended~~Company under the ~~lease term through May 31, 2022.

If we determine the equipment and facilities may benefit Centrus after completion of the HALEU Contract, we have the option to extend the facility lease and ownership of the equipment will be transferred to us, subject to mutual agreement regarding D&D and other issues.

estimated at this time. In the event that funding by the U.S. government for research, development and demonstration of gas centrifuge technology is reduced or discontinued, or we are not awarded a DOE contract to operate the cascade we are now constructing under the HALEU Contract, such actions may have a material adverse impact on our ability to deploy the American Centrifuge technology and on our liquidity.

Capital expenditures of approximately $1$1.0 million are anticipated over the next 12 months.

We are actively considering, and expect to consider from time to time in the future, potential strategic transactions, which at any given time may be in various stages of discussions, diligence, or negotiation. If we pursue opportunities that require capital, we believe we would seek to satisfy these needs through a combination of working capital, cash generated from operations or additional debt or equity financing.

The change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash from our ~~unaudited condensed consolidated statements~~Consolidated Statements of ~~cash flows~~Cash Flows are as follows on a summarized basis (in millions):

Operating Activities

In the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $56.2 million. The net decrease was due to an increase in payments made to suppliers, as reflected by the decrease in payables under inventory purchase agreements of $37.9 million and an increase in inventories of $10.7 million. Cash used in operations was also impacted by a decrease in cash collected from customers, which resulted from the timing of customer shipments and related contract terms, partially reflected in the net decrease in deferred revenue and advances from customers, net of deferred costs, of $30.6 million.

In the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash ~~provided by~~used in operating activities was $2.9 million. The increase in inventories of $11.1 million reflects a significant use of cash. The net decrease in cash year-over-year is also the result of a net reduction of $7.8 million in deferred revenue and advances from customers which reflects revenue recognized in the current period related to payments received in advance in a prior period. Uses of cash are also reflected in the decrease in pension and postretirement benefit liabilities of $14.8 million. The net income of $16.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, net of non-cash expenses, the $10.6 million decrease in accounts receivable, and the increase in payables under ~~SWU~~inventory purchase agreements of $7.8 million reflect sources of cash.

In the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $8.4 million. The net reduction of $19.3 million in deferred revenue and advances from customers reflects revenue recognized in the current period related to payments received in advance in a prior period. Uses of cash are reflected in the decrease in pension and postretirement benefit liabilities of $16.6 million and the increase in accounts receivable of $10.1 million. The uses of cash were partially offset by net income of $45.0 million in the six-month period, net of non-cash expenses, including the $32.4 million in income on recovery of bankruptcy court claims.

Investing Activities

Capital expenditures were ~~$0.7~~$0.5 million and ~~$0.1~~$0.7 million in the six months ended June 30, ~~2021,~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

Financing Activities

In both the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, payments of $3.1 million of interest classified as debt are classified as a financing activity. Refer to Note 6, Debt, of the Consolidated Financial Statements regarding the accounting for the 8.25% notes (the “8.25% Notes”) maturing in February 2027.

We are managing our working capital to seek to improve the long-term value of our LEU and technical solutions businesses and are planning to continue funding the Company’s qualified pension plans in the ordinary course because we believe that is in the best interest of all stakeholders. We expect that any other uses of working capital will be undertaken in light of these strategic priorities and will be based on the Company’s determination as to the relative strength of its operating performance and prospects, financial position, and expected liquidity requirements. In addition, we expect that any such other uses of working capital will be subject to compliance with contractual restrictions to which the Company and its subsidiaries are subject, including the terms and conditions of our ~~debt securities and credit facilities.~~8.25% Notes. We continually evaluate alternatives to manage our capital structure, and may opportunistically repurchase, exchange, or redeem Company securities from time to time.

~~Common Stock Issuance~~

Pursuant to a sales agreement with its agents, the Company sold at the market price an aggregate of 1,238,637 shares of its Class A Common Stock in the six months ended June 30, 2021, for a total of $28.7 million.

The Warrant is exercisable by Kulayba LLC for a period commencing on the closing date of the Exchange and ending, unless sooner terminated as provided in the Warrant, on the first to occur of: (a) the second anniversary of the closing date of the Exchange or (b) the last business day immediately prior to the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Warrant) which results in the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction owning less than 50% of the voting equity of the surviving entity immediately after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction. The Company retired the 3,873 shares of Preferred Stock received by the Company under the Exchange Agreement.

Capital Structure and Financial Resources

Interest on the 8.25% Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears as of February 28 and August 31 based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The 8.25% Notes are guaranteed on a subordinated and limited basis by, and secured by substantially all assets of, Enrichment Corp. The 8.25% Notes mature on February 28, 2027.

Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends of 7.5% per annum of the liquidation preference at origination of $104.6 million. We are obligated to pay cash dividends on our Series B Preferred Stock to the extent certain criteria are met and dividends are declared by the Board of Directors. We have not met these criteria for the periods from issuance through June 30, 2021, and have not declared, accrued or paid dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock as of June 30, 2021. Additional terms and conditions of the Series B Preferred Stock, including the criteria that must be met for the payment of dividends, are described in ~~Note 16, Stockholders’ Equity,~~ ~~of the consolidated financial statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.~~

The nuclear industry in general, and the nuclear fuel industry in particular, are in a period of significant change. We are actively considering, and expect to consider from time to time in the future, potential strategic transactions, which at any given time may be in various stages of discussions, diligence or negotiation. If we pursue opportunities that require capital, we believe we would seek to satisfy these needs through a combination of working capital, cash generated from operations or additional debt or equity financing.

Commitments under Long-Term SWU Purchase Agreements

The Company purchases SWU contained in LEU from Russia supplied to us under a long-term agreement, as amended, signed in 2011 with the Russian government owned entity TENEX. Under a 2018 agreement, the Company will purchase SWU contained in LEU from the French government owned company, Orano. Refer to Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies, of the ~~unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements~~Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

DOE Technology License

We have a non-exclusive license in DOE inventions that pertain to enriching uranium using gas centrifuge technology. The license agreement with DOE provides for annual royalty payments based on a varying percentage (1% up to 2%) of our annual revenues from sales of the SWU component of LEU produced by us using DOE centrifuge technology. There is a minimum annual royalty payment of $100,000 and the maximum cumulative royalty over the life of the license is $100 million. There is currently no commercial enrichment facility producing LEU using DOE centrifuge technology. We are continuing to advance our U.S. centrifuge technology that has evolved from DOE inventions at specialized facilities in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, with a view to deploying a commercial enrichment facility over the long term once market conditions recover.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than ~~outstanding surety bonds,~~ our SWU purchase commitments and the license agreement with DOE relating to the American Centrifuge technology, there were no material off-balance sheet arrangements at June 30, ~~2021 or December 31, 2020.~~2022.

The current war in Ukraine has led the United States, Russia, and other countries to impose sanctions and other measures that restrict international trade. At present, sanctions have not directly impacted the ability ~~to continue operating our HALEU enrichment facility after the completion~~ of the ~~demonstration program~~Company or TENEX to perform under the TENEX Supply Contract, but the situation is ~~dependent~~rapidly changing, and it is not possible to predict future actions that could be taken.

The expanding sanctions imposed by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) and foreign governments on Russian banks or other entities and instrumentalities needed for performance of the TENEX Supply Contract could have adverse effects on the TENEX Supply Contract, even if such sanction is not directed at imports of Russian LEU or other trade in nuclear material with Russia. For example, a sanction on a Russian bank might prevent funds from being transferred to TENEX’s account from the U.S. bank to which we make payments. We do not know what actions TENEX might take if it could not receive payments in Russia, but if it refused to make future deliveries, such action could affect our ability to ~~secure funding from the U.S. government or other sources.~~meet our delivery obligations to our customers.

Further, sanctions by the United States, Russia or other countries may impact performance of the TENEX Supply Contract and our ability to transport, import, take delivery or make payments related to the LEU we purchase. In ~~2019, Centrus began work on~~June 2022, Canada prohibited Canadian entities from providing transportation services to Russians or person in Russian in various industries, including enrichment of uranium. A company that provides transportation services to the Company under the TENEX Supply Contract interpreted the sanction as applying to transporting of Russian LEU for the Company, and the Canadian company informed the Company that it could not load Russian LEU until it received a ~~three-year, $115 million cost-shared contract with~~permit from the Canadian government. Although the permit was issued, it is only valid for one year, meaning that, absent a renewal of the permit, the Company will need to find an alternative transportation company, which may be difficult and costly because of the limited number of qualified providers.

The uncertainty created by the Canadian sanctions and the lack of options for alternative suppliers illustrates the fact that even if sanctions or other restrictions are not imposed, the reaction of the U.S. ~~Department of Energy (“DOE”)~~and foreign governments to ~~deploy~~current events in Ukraine could impact our ability to make future sales. In addition, uncertainty in the market will tend to push market prices up, and since a ~~cascade of 16 of our AC100M centrifuges to demonstrate production of HALEU with domestic technology. At the conclusion~~portion of the ~~demonstration program funding~~price paid under our TENEX Supply Contract is based on commodity indices, an increase in ~~early 2022,~~market prices will have a corresponding impact on our ~~goal is to begin commercial production and scale up~~cost of sales.

Additional sanctions or other measures by the ~~Piketon facility in modular fashion as demand for HALEU grows~~U.S. or foreign governments (including the Russian government) could be imposed in the ~~commercial and/~~future. There have been proposals in U.S. Congress and elsewhere to ban imports of uranium that could affect our ability to import LEU in one or ~~government sectors. It is uncertain, however, whether or when such commercial and/or government demand will materialize. To continue operating~~more years under the ~~Piketon facility after the conclusion~~Russian Suspension Agreement but none of these have been adopted as of the ~~current contract~~date of this filing. Any sanctions or measures directed at trade in LEU from Russia or the parties involved in such trade or otherwise could interfere with, ~~DOE, we need funding from~~or prevent, performance under the ~~U.S. government or other sources. There~~TENEX Supply Contract. Accordingly, the situation at this time is unpredictable and therefore there is no assurance ~~such funding will be available. If we do~~that future developments would not secure the necessary funding in a timely fashion, we may not be able to continue the operation of the Piketon facility. If Centrus determines that government and/or commercial funding is insufficient to support the ongoing operations of the facility after the existing contract funding runs out in 2022, the Company can delease the Piketon facility and return it, along with the centrifuges and supporting equipment, to DOE. This would likely result in terminating the NRC operating license and laying off our Piketon facility workforce. Alternatively, if we continue operating the Piketon facility, we would incur additional costs and liabilities.

In the event that we decide to continue operations and U.S. government or other funding is insufficient to cover the costs of operations, any costs of operations incurred by us over the amount provided by the U.S. government or other sources would be borne by Centrus and would negatively impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows when the contract or contract amendment is signed. Further, in the event we decide to continue operations and there is no further funding from the U.S. government or other sources, then all of the costs of operations incurred by us would be borne by us and would negatively impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. At present, our estimate of total additional costs to continue operations at the Piketon facility from the completion of performance of the current contract through the end of the government fiscal year, September 30, 2022, is approximately $25 million to $30 million. Further, in the event that no funding from the U.S. government or other sources is provided and we decide to continue operations, we may incur liabilities for the decontamination and decommissioning of the facility. Finally, a decision to terminate operations at the Piketon facility would likely result in a termination of our NRC license and our lease for the Piketon facility. There can be no assurance that we could regain use of the facility or obtain an NRC license in the future. We may also incur additional costs related to reducing our workforce or closing facilities. Failure to secure U.S. Government or other funding to support the continued operation of our Piketon facility could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s procurement, payment, delivery or sale of LEU under the TENEX Supply Contract.

If measures were taken to limit the import of Russian LEU or to prohibit or limit dealings with Russian entities, including, but not limited to, TENEX or the Russian State Atomic Energy Corporation, the Company would seek a license, waiver, or other approval from the government imposing such measures to ensure that the Company could continue to fulfill its purchase and sales obligations using LEU delivered under the TENEX Supply Contract. There is no assurance that such a license, waiver, or approval would be granted. If a license, waiver, or approval were not granted, the Company would need to look to alternative sources of LEU to replace the LEU that it could not procure from TENEX. The Company has contracts for alternative sources that could be used to mitigate a portion of the near-term impacts. However, to the extent these sources were insufficient or more expensive or additional supply cannot be obtained, it could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, and ~~financial position along~~competitive position.

The current uncertainty regarding trade with Russia, as well as the actions of Russia in the war against Ukraine, may affect our ~~plans for~~ability to make future ~~growth.~~sales. Additionally, customers may seek to re-negotiate existing contracts, refuse to take deliveries of Russian LEU, or take other actions which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, and competitive position. Finally, since the majority of our supply contracts include a market-based pricing component, the rapidly rising market prices due to the war in Ukraine and the associated sanctions could materially increase our cost of sales under our existing supply contracts, including but not limited to, the TENEX Supply Contract.
