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 September 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 ~~$320~~$311.1 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 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.

In 2018 through 2020 the Company borrowed SWU inventory valued at $20.7 million from a customer under an agreement signed in 2017 and recorded the SWU and the related liability using the Company’s average unit price of SWU purchases under contract projected to be used for repayment. The loan is repayable only with SWU. The cumulative liability to the customer for borrowed inventory was revalued to $25.5 million in the third quarter of 2021, of which $3.0 million is included in ~~Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities~~ ~~and $22.5 million is included in~~ ~~Other Long-Term Liabilities.~~ ~~The revaluation reflects an updated projection of the timing and sources of inventory to be used for repayment.~~ ~~Cost of Sales~~ ~~for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 includes the related expense of $4.8 million.~~

Technical Solutions Segment

Revenue for the ~~technical solutions~~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.

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 $156.3 million as of ~~$115~~September 30, 2022. Subsequent to September 30, 2022, an additional modification increased the total contract funding to $158.9 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. 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~~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 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 The impact 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020 benefited by $6.5~~is $0.5 million and ~~$8.7~~$6.5 million, respectively, for previously accrued contract losses attributable to work performed in the periods. As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, a total of ~~$17.1~~$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 $1.2 million.~~

Work under the HALEU Contract has progressed 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 have also affected DOE in its supply of equipment that it is required to furnish under the contract. As a result, we currently estimate that costs required to complete the existing HALEU Contract have increased approximately $10 million over the 2019 initial estimate. Further, while we still anticipate completing the cascade in 2022, due to a COVID-related supply chain delay in the DOE-supplied HALEU storage cylinders, production will not begin until mid-2022. The U.S. Government is currently operating on a continuing resolution through December 3, 2021. On October 28, 2021, DOE increased the government’s cost share ceiling to $117.9 million and provided additional incremental funding that we expect will be sufficient to continue work through the middle of November.$0. The Company has received aggregate cash payments under the HALEU Contract of ~~$101.9~~$155.1 million through September 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

~~While~~As previously reported, the ~~existing contract ends on June 1, 2022,~~DOE experienced a COVID-19 related supply chain delay in obtaining the ~~Department of Energy’s Fiscal Year 2022 budget request includes $33 million~~HALEU storage cylinders. As a result, the DOE elected to ~~establish a new HALEU availability program, a portion of which would be used for “continuing to support the 16 machines in Piketon.” The Department has indicated that it is considering changes to~~change the scope of the existing contract ~~including moving~~and move the operational portion of the demonstration to a new, competitively-awarded contract, with operations to begin in mid-2022. Centrus believes it is well-positioned to compete for a follow-on contract to operate the machines in Piketon but there is no assurance that DOE will award such a contract to the Company. Congress has not yet adopted a Fiscal Year 2022 appropriations bill for the Department, and there is no assurance that the proposed program, which would go beyond the scope and expiration of our existing contract, will be approved and funded.

Additional COVID-19-related impacts, delays in DOE furnishing equipment, or changes to the existing scope of the HALEU Contract could result in further material increases to our estimate of the costs required to complete the HALEU Contract, as well as delay completion of the contract. The Company does not currently have a contractual obligation to perform work in excess of the funding provided by ~~DOE and, therefore, no additional costs have been accrued as of September 30, 2021.~~DOE. 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 weabove the existing funding, the Company may incur material additional costs or losses in future periods that could have an adverse impact on ~~our~~its financial condition and liquidity.

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 to complete the cascade and produce 20 kg of HALEU. Once 20 kg of HALEU has been produced, the 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 a cost-plus-incentive-fee basis.

Revenue for the ~~technical solutions~~Technical Solutions segment in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, also includes $43.5 million related to the settlement of the Company’s claims for reimbursements for certain pension and postretirement benefits costs incurred in connection with a past cost-reimbursable contract with DOE unrelated to the HALEU Contract. On September 7, 2021, after the final approvals for the settlement were received, the settlement agreement was signed by the parties at which time it became probable that there would not be a significant reversal of revenue. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, DOE paid the Company $43.5 million, of which $33.8 million was contributed to the pension plan in September 2021 for its subsidiary United States Enrichment Corp. (“Enrichment Corp.”) and $9.7 million was deposited in October 2021 in a trust for payment of postretirement health benefits payable by Enrichment Corp. After receiving payment, at the Company’s request, the case was dismissed. ~~Refer to~~ ~~Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies -- Legal Matters~~.

9. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing income (loss) allocable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. In calculating diluted net income (loss) 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.

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. If the Company exercises~~2022. As a result of exercising this right to reschedule, ~~in full during the remaining years of the contract’s original term,~~ the Company will have ~~a rescheduled post-2022~~ purchase ~~commitment~~commitments 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 and extends to 2028. The Company has the option to extend the supply period for an additional two years.~~runs 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.

Russian Suspension Agreement

Beginning in September 2022, the Russian Suspension Agreement is subject to two “sunset” reviews being conducted by the U.S. Department of Commerce (“DOC”) and the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”), respectively, that will determine if the Russian Suspension Agreement should be maintained. These “sunset” reviews are required to be conducted every five years. This is the fifth round of “sunset reviews” of the Russian Suspension Agreement. The last round of reviews in 2016-17 concluded that termination of the Russian Suspension Agreement would lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping of French LEU (a determination made by the DOC), and to the continuation or recurrence of material injury to the U.S. uranium industry (a determination made by the ITC), which resulted in the Russian Suspension Agreement being maintained. Even if the Russian Suspension Agreement were terminated as a result of the “sunset” reviews, the quotas under the 2020 legislation would remain in place.

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.

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”).~~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~~Gaseous Diffusion Plant (“Paducah GDP”) was shut down in 2013 and deleased by Enrichment Corp. in 2014. 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)~~(“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. The Company is assessing DOE’s assertions including whether all or a portion of any such potential liability had been previously settled. 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.

On August 30, 2013, the Company submitted a claim to DOE under the Contract Disputes Act for payment of $42.8 million, representing DOE’s share of pension and postretirement benefits costs related to the transition of employees at the former Portsmouth GDP to DOE’s D&D contractor. On August 27, 2014, the DOE contracting officer denied the Company’s claim. As a result, the Company filed an appeal of the decision in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in January 2015.

On January 13, 2021, the Company and DOE reached a tentative agreement to settle the litigation. The settlement was subject to the approval by DOE, the U.S. Department of Justice, the Company’s Board of Directors, and the Court. On September 7, 2021, after the final approvals for the settlement were received, the settlement agreement was signed by the parties. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, DOE paid the Company $43.5 million, of which $33.8 million was contributed to the pension plan in September 2021 for Enrichment Corp. and $9.7 million was deposited in October 2021 in a trust for payment of postretirement health benefits payable by Enrichment Corp. After receiving payment, at the Company’s request the case was dismissed. The payment of $43.5 million is included in revenue of the technical solutions segment for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

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 March 19, 2021, the court granted the McGlone Plaintiffs’ motion for leave to amend the ~~complaint.~~complaint to include Price-Anderson Nuclear Industries Indemnity Act (“Price-Anderson Act”)and eight other state law claims. On May 24, 2021, the Company, Enrichment Corp., and the other defendants filed their motion to dismiss the complaint. ~~The~~On March 31, 2022, the court ~~has not rendered a decision at this time.

As such, the discovery stage of ~~litigation.~~litigation is continuing. On April 28, 2022, the Company, Enrichment Corp., and the other defendants filed their answer to the fourth amended complaint. 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 Nuclear Industries Indemnity Act (“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.~~

On November 27, 2019, 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 August 18, 2020, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. On October 6, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit affirmed the lower court’s decision and dismissed the case. Plaintiffs have 90 days to file a petition for certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court; the Plaintiffs must file such a petition by January 4, 2022 for the U.S. Supreme Court to consider whether it will hear the case.

On September 3, 2020, the Company, Enrichment Corp., nine other DOE contractors who have operated facilities at the Portsmouth GDP site and eleven individuals in their personal capacity some of whom are current and former DOE employees were named as defendants (“Walburn Defendants”) in a class action complaint filed by Jeffrey Walburn, Charles O. Lawson Jr., Kimberly M. Lawson, James A. Brogdon, Stephen Patrick Spriggs, Donald Slone, Vicki P. Slone, Victoria Slone Moore, Toni West, Carl R. Hartley, Heather R. Hartley, Vina Colley, Antony Preston, David B. Rose, Michael E. Groves, George W. Clark, Estate of Kathy Sue Brogdon (deceased), Estate of Jay Paul Brogdon (deceased), and Jon Doe(s), and Jane Doe(s), on behalf of themselves and all similarly situated individuals (“Walburn Plaintiffs”) in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division. The complaint alleges that the named defendants conspired and concealed nuclear incidents in violation of the Price-Anderson Act, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act and other state claims. The complainants seek damages and equitable and injunctive relief arising from economic losses, property losses, and non-economic damages resulting from toxic and radioactive releases from the Portsmouth GDP. On November 20, 2020, the Walburn Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint to add two individuals to the complaint as defendants in their individual capacity. One of those individuals is Daniel Poneman, Centrus’ Chief Executive Officer. In the 78-page complaint, Mr. Poneman is referenced only twice, without any cited allegations against him; once in the caption and once referencing his position at the Company. 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 to 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 believesbelieve 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.

On ~~November 11,~~June 8, 2022, the Company, Enrichment Corp., and six other DOE contractors who operated facilities at the Portsmouth GDP were named as defendants in a complaint filed by Brad Allen Lykins, as administrator of the estate of Braden Aaron Lee Lykins in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division (“Lykins Complaint”). In March 2021, ~~Plaintiffs~~Brayden Lykins, who was thirteen years old, passed away from leukemia. The complaint alleges that the defendants released radiation into the environment in violation of the Price-Anderson Act causing Lykins’ death and seeks monetary damages. On August 30, 2022, the Company and Enrichment Corp. and the other defendants filed ~~a notice of voluntary dismissal without prejudice.~~their answer to the Lykins Compliant. The Company and Enrichment Corp. believe that their operations at the Portsmouth GDP site were fully in compliance with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s regulations. Further, the Company and Enrichment Corp. believe 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 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,~~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 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 and other customers to ~~2030.~~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 63% 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 continue to increase substantially, reaching $95 per SWU by September 30, 2022.This represents an increase of 70% 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 179% 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.

carbon-free energy.

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/or export controls against certain Russian organizations and/or individuals. While sanctions imposed to date do not preclude imports of Russian uranium enrichment, 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 uranium enrichment 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 global 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~~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~~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, 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~~reactors, which are now under development for commercial and ~~fuel designs currently under development.~~government uses.

The higher U-235 concentration offers a number of potential advantages for advanced reactors, which may include better fuel utilization, improved performance, fewer refueling outages, simpler reactor designs, reduced waste volumes, and greater nonproliferation resistance.

The lack of a domestic HALEU supply is widely viewed as a major obstacle to ~~20%~~the successful commercialization of these new reactors.

Additionally, COVID-19-related supply chain difficulties have also affected DOE in its supply of equipment that it is required to furnish under the contract. As a result, we currently estimate that costs required to complete the existing HALEU Contract have increased approximately $10 million over the 2019 initial estimate. Further, while we still anticipate completing the cascade in 2022, due to a COVID-relatedrelated supply chain delay in obtaining the ~~DOE-supplied~~ HALEU storage cylinders it was required to provide under the contract.Since it is not possible to begin HALEU production ~~will~~without the storage cylinders, it was not ~~begin until mid-2022.

The Inflation Reduction Act signed into law on August 16, 2022, includes a $700 million appropriation for the DOE HALEU Availability Program, with the goal of making HALEU commercially available by 2026 of which $500 million will be available to support new production and $200 million for resolving related supply chain challenges such as HALEU transportation. On October 6, 2022, the Department of Energy issued a “Sources Sought” notice outlining a potential 10-year program to support the construction and operation of HALEU enrichment in the United States via government purchases of up to 25 metric tons of HALEU per year. The Sources Sought notice is a preliminary step, not a formal request for proposals, and the Department would require additional annual appropriations beyond what is contained in the Inflation Reduction Act to fully implement that program. On October 14, 2022, the Company attended an Industry Day, where the DOE provided additional information on the potential procurement activity. The Company is evaluating its next steps associated with participating in a potential future request for proposal.

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. 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.

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. Other foreign government-owned entities ~~which~~that are not currently subject to U.S. trade restrictions, however, may enter the market.

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 federal government is currently operating under a continuing resolution. The President’s budget proposal included approximately $33 million for the creation of a new “HALEU availability” program as authorized by the Energy Act of 2020.

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 operating the demonstration cascade or whether the Company will be selected in any competition for such a contract. 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.

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 September 2022, there were 60 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 ~~period ending June 30, 2021.~~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, an additional seven are expected to restart in 2023, with more reactors expected to follow in subsequent years. 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.

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 products that could affect our ability to import LEU in one or more years under the TENEX Supply Contract 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~~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~~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 ~~77%~~61% and 74% of our total revenue ~~in 2020.~~for the three and nine months ended September 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 $7.6 million per ~~order.~~order in the nine months ended September 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~~some 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. According to data from the World Nuclear Association, the annual enrichment requirements of reactors worldwide outside of Russia vastly exceeds the available supply of non-Russian enrichment, which potentially threatens the viability of 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.

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.

In 2018 through 2020, the Company borrowed SWU inventory valued at $20.7 million from a customer and recorded the SWU and the related liability using the Company’s projected average unit price of SWU purchases under contract to be used for repayment. The cumulative liability to the customer for borrowed inventory was revalued to $25.5 million in the third quarter of 2021, of which $3.0 million is included in ~~Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities~~ ~~and $22.5 million is included in~~ ~~Other Long-Term Liabilities.~~ ~~The revaluation reflects an updated projection of the timing and sources of inventory to be used for repayment.~~ ~~Cost of Sales~~ ~~for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 includes the related expense of $4.8 million.~~

Technical Solutions

Our ~~technical solutions~~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 HALEU Contract, once fully implemented,~~Centrus is ~~expected~~competing for a follow-on contract to ~~result in~~complete construction, make the ~~Company having demonstrated~~cascade operational, and then operate the ~~capability 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.~~ cascade and produce HALEU.Centrus is the only company with an NRC license to enrich HALEU.

In 2019, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, benefited by $6.5 million and $8.7 million, respectively, for previously accrued contract losses attributable to work performed in the periods. As of September 30, 2021, a total of $17.1 million of previously accrued contract losses have been realized and the accrued contract loss balance included in ~~Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities~~ ~~was $1.2 million. Our HALEU Contract expires June 1, 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.

While the existing contract ends on June 1, 2022, the Department of Energy’s Fiscal Year 2022 budget request includes $33 million to establish a new HALEU availability program, a portion of which would be used for “continuing to support the 16 machines in Piketon.” The Department has indicated that it is considering changes to the scope of the existing contract including moving the operational portion of the demonstration to a new, competitively-awarded contract, with operations to begin in mid-2022. Centrus believes it is well-positioned to compete for a follow-on contract to operate the machines in Piketon but there is no assurance that DOE will award such a contract to the Company. Congress has not yet adopted a Fiscal Year 2022 appropriations bill for the Department, and there is no assurance that the proposed program, which would go beyond the scope and expiration of our existing contract, will be approved and funded.

Additional COVID-19-related impacts, delays in DOE furnishing equipment, or changes to the existing scope of the HALEU Contract could result in further material 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 funding provided by DOE and, therefore, no additional costs have been accrued as of September 30, 2021. 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.

Commercial Contracting

InSince March of 2018, ~~we entered into an initial services agreement with X-energy to provide~~Centrus has provided design, technical, and resource support for ~~conceptual design of~~X-energy related to its ~~TRISO~~Tri-Structural Isotropic (“TRISO”) fuel manufacturing process. ~~In November 2018, we entered into~~Currently, work is being performed under a ~~second~~ services agreement with X-energy to proceed with preliminary design of the TRISO facility. Under both agreements, which were funded by two separate cooperative agreement awards by DOE, we provide X-energy with non-cash in-kind contributions pursuant to X-energy’s obligations under those agreements. In November 2020, the parties extended the period of performance through August 2021. Insigned in August 2021 ~~we entered into a new services agreement with X-energy~~ to provide ~~design~~ services for detailed design of the TRISO fuel ~~manufacturing~~fabrication facility and various support services for establishing their TRISO Research and Development Center. ~~The~~X-energy is funded under the current DOE cooperative agreement titled Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (“ARDP”). At our discretion, the task orders under the new agreement may include ~~non-cash~~ in-kind contributions that we are not currently providing, but, may provide in the future. The existing contractual scope of work expires on December 31, 2022, and may or may not be extended at ~~our discretion.~~the discretion of the X-energy.

Under the X-energy agreements, Centrus performs services pursuant to separate task orders issued and provide for time-and-materials based pricing. The cumulative task orders issued through October 2020 provided for payments to us of $13.7 million and in-kind contributions provided by us of $7.5 million. Under the 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. Under the new agreement effective August 2021, releases to date provide for payments to us of $5.6 million.

Prior Site Services Work

We formerly performed sites services work under contracts with DOE and its contractors at the former Portsmouth GDP. In September 2021, the Company and DOE fully settled the Company’s claims for ~~reimbursements for~~reimbursement of certain pension and postretirement ~~benefits~~benefit costs incurred in connection with a past cost-reimbursable contract for work performed at the Portsmouth GDP. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, DOE paid the Company $43.5 million in September 2021, of which $33.8 million was contributed in September 2021 to the pension plan for its subsidiary United States Enrichment Corp. (“Enrichment Corp.”) and $9.7 million was deposited in October 2021 in a trust for payment of postretirement health benefits payable by Enrichment Corp. The payment of $43.5 million is included in revenue of the ~~technical solutions~~Technical Solutions segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Revenue

Revenue from the LEU segment ~~increased $13.3~~was $20.2 million ~~(or 71%)~~and $32.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and ~~$2.5~~2021, respectively, a decrease of $11.8 million (or 2%37%). The decrease is due to a 76% decrease in the ~~nine~~average price of SWU sold, partially offset by a 60% increase in the volume of SWU sold, for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the corresponding periods in 2020. SWU revenue in the second quarter of 2020 included $32.4 million related to a customer’s bankruptcy proceeding. Excluding this settlement, revenue from the sales of SWU increased $45.4 million (or 82%) in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The volume of SWU sold increased 126% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 and the average SWU price decreased 20%,2022, largely due to the variability in timing of utility customer orders and ~~the particular contracts under which SWU were sold during the periods. There were no SWU deliveries~~related contracts.

Revenue from uranium sales was $12.5 million and 12.9 million in the three months ended September 30, ~~2020, with revenue of $0.1 million for ancillary services.~~

~~Revenue from uranium sales decreased $5.7 million (or 31%) in the three months~~2022 and ~~$10.5 million (or 45%) in nine months ended September 30,~~ 2021, ~~compared to the corresponding periods in 2020. For the nine-month period, the volume of uranium sold declined 48% and the average price increased 6%.~~respectively.

Revenue from the ~~technical solutions~~Technical Solutions segment ~~increased $44.4~~was $13.0 million ~~(or 298%)~~and $59.3 million in the three months ~~and $52.5 million (or 127%) in the nine months~~ ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, ~~compared to the corresponding periods in 2020.~~respectively, a decrease of $46.3 million (or 78%). Revenue in the third quarter of 2021 included $43.5 million related to the settlement of the Company’s claims for reimbursements for certain pension and postretirement benefits costs incurred in connection with a past cost-reimbursable contract performed at the Portsmouth GDP. Excluding this settlement, ~~revenue from~~ the ~~technical solutions segment increased $0.9 million (or 6%)~~decrease in revenue in the three months ~~and $9.0 million (or 22%) in the nine months~~ ended September 30, ~~2021, due~~2022, was primarily related to ~~increased work performed under~~a $1.2 million decrease in revenue generated by the HALEU Contract and ~~X-energy~~a $0.8 million decrease in revenue generated by the X-Energy contract, as well as a $0.8 million decrease across other contracts.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the LEU segment ~~increased $4.1~~was $18.9 million ~~(or 21%)~~and $23.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and ~~$24.3~~2021, respectively, a decrease of $4.8 million (or ~~47%~~20%) in. The decrease is primarily a result of a $4.8 million charge to cost of sales for the ~~nine~~three months ended September 30, 2021 ~~compared to the corresponding periods in 2020, largely reflecting increases in SWU sales volume partially offset by decreases in the average SWU unit cost. The volume of SWU sold increased 126%~~ for the ~~nine-month period and the average~~revaluation of obligations for SWU ~~unit cost decreased 3%.~~borrowed.

Cost of sales for the ~~three~~Technical Solutions segment was $12.0 million and ~~nine~~$18.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, ~~included $4.8~~respectively, a decrease of $6.1 million ~~for~~(or 34%). The decrease of $6.1 million in the ~~revaluation of an obligation to a customer for inventory the Company borrowed in 2018 through 2020. For more information, refer to~~ ~~SWU and Uranium Sales~~ ~~above. Cost of sales for the nine~~three months ended September 30, ~~2021 includes $15.9 million of previously deferred costs from~~ ~~Deferred Costs Associated with Deferred Revenue~~ ~~that reflected higher inventory costs from 2017-2018~~. ~~Cost of sales also includes legacy costs~~2022, is related to ~~former employees~~a reduction in costs of ~~the Portsmouth GDP and Paducah GDP of $1.8~~approximately $4.5 million ~~in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $2.4 million in the corresponding period in 2020.~~

Cost of sales for the technical solutions segment increased $3.3 million (or 22%) in the three months and $15.0 million (or 38%) in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the corresponding periods in 2020, largely reflecting the increase in contract work performed. Cost of sales benefited by $6.5 million in the current nine-month period and $8.7 million in the prior nine-month period for previously accrued contract losses attributable to work performed underassociated with the HALEU ~~Contract.~~Contract, $0.9 million associated with the X-energy contract, and $0.7 million associated with other contracts. For details on HALEU Contract accounting, refer to “Technical Solutions - Government Contracting” above.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the LEU segment was $1.3 million and $8.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $7.0 million (or 84%). The $7.0 million decrease in gross profit in the three months ended September 30, 2022, was due primarily to a decrease in the average profit margin per SWU, which was partially offset by an increase in SWU sales volume.

Gross profit for the Technical Solutions segment was $1.0 million and $41.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $40.2 million (or 98%). Gross profit in the three months ended September 30, 2021, included $43.5 million of revenue related to the settlement of the Company’s claim for costs incurred in connection with a prior cost-reimbursable contract with DOE. Excluding the settlement with DOE, gross profit increased $3.3 million in the three-month period mainly due to a $3.2 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 prior to December 31, 2021.

Revenue

Revenue from the LEU segment was $123.4 million ~~in the three months~~ and ~~$78.3~~$115.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, ~~compared~~respectively, an increase of $8.1 million (or 7%). The increase is due to a ~~gross loss~~19% increase in the average price of ~~$0.8~~SWU, partially offset by a 13% decrease in the volume of SWU sold in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, largely due to the variability in timing of utility customer orders and the contracts under which SWU were sold during the periods.

Revenue from uranium sales was $17.4 million and ~~gross profit of $62.6~~$12.9 million in the ~~corresponding periods~~nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the nine-month period, the average price increased 30%, partially offset by a decrease in ~~2020.~~sales volume of 16%.

Revenue from the Technical Solutions segment was $44.2 million and $94.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $49.8 million (or 53%). Revenue in the third quarter of 2021 included $43.5 million related to the settlement of the Company’s claims for reimbursements for certain pension and postretirement benefits costs incurred in connection with a past cost-reimbursable contract performed at the Portsmouth GDP. Excluding the settlement with DOE, the $6.3 million decrease in revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily related to a $7.8 million decrease in revenue from the HALEU Contract and a $2.6 million decrease in revenue from X-energy, partially offset by a $4.1 million increase in revenue generated from other contracts.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the LEU segment was $59.8 million and $76.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $16.3 million (or 21%). The decrease largely reflects decreases in the volume of SWU sold and in the average SWU unit cost. The volume of SWU sold decreased 13% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the average SWU unit cost decreased 21%. Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, included $5.5 million and $4.8 million, respectively, for the revaluation of obligations for SWU borrowed in 2018-2022.

Cost of sales for the Technical Solutions segment was $38.3 million and $54.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $16.6 million (or 30%). The decrease of $16.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, is related to a reduction in costs of approximately $18.1 million associated with the HALEU Contract and a reduction in costs of approximately $3.0 million associated with the X-energy contract, partially offset by a $4.5 million increase in costs related to costs incurred by new contract work. For details on HALEU Contract accounting, refer to “Technical Solutions - Government Contracting” above.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the LEU segment was $63.6 million and $39.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $24.4 million (or 62%). 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 $5.9 million and $39.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $33.2 million (or 85%). Gross profit in the ~~three and~~ nine months ended September 30, 2021 included $43.5 million of revenue related to the settlement of the Company’s claim for costs incurred in connection with a prior cost-reimbursable contract with DOE. Gross profit in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, included $32.4 million of revenue related to the settlement of a supply contract that was rejected as part of the customer’s bankruptcy proceeding. Excluding these one-time proceeds, gross profit increased $6.8 million in the three-month period and $4.6 million in the nine-month period.

Our LEU segment realized a gross profit of $8.3 million in the three months and $39.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to a gross loss of $0.9 million and gross profit of $61.0 million in the corresponding periods in 2020. Excluding the revenue related to the bankruptcy court claims of $32.4 million in the prior year, the gross profit for the LEU segment increased $10.6 million in the nine-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~~.

For the technical solutions segment, we realized a gross profit of $41.2 million in the three months and $39.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to a gross profit of $0.1 million and $1.6 million for the corresponding periods in 2020. Excluding the settlement with DOE, gross profit from the ~~technical solutions~~Technical Solutions segment ~~decreased $2.0~~increased $10.3 million over the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase in ~~the three months and $5.6 million~~gross profit in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is related to a $10.2 million increase in the gross profit generated from the HALEU Contract which included a $1.6 million rent credit for the Piketon Facility, and a $0.4 million increase in gross profit generated from the X-energy contract. The remaining $0.3 million net decrease in the gross margin is attributable to the Company’s other contracts. 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 prior to December 31, 2021.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $2.3 million (or 34%) in the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the corresponding period in 2020. Of this amount, $2.2 million reflects a remeasurement of obligations under long-term incentive compensation plans due to recent increases in Centrus’ stock price. Consulting costs increased $0.3 million and other SG&A expenses decreased by a net $0.2 million.

SG&A expenses decreased $0.6 million (or 2%) in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the corresponding period in 2020. Incentive compensation expense increased $3.6 million reflecting a remeasurement of obligations due to recent increases in Centrus’ stock price. Consulting costs decreased $3.3 million, salaries and benefits decreased $1.0 million, and other SG&A expenses increased by a net $0.1 million.improve our centrifuge technology.

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 $4.4 million and $4.3 million ~~and $12.9 million for~~in the three ~~and nine~~ months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, ~~compared to income~~respectively, an increase of ~~$2.2~~$0.1 million ~~and $6.6 million in the corresponding periods in 2020.~~ (or 2%).

Interest cost declined~~payment, as described in ~~2021 as a result~~ Note 8, Pension and Postretirement Health and Life Benefits of ~~lower market interest rates.~~the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

~~The~~Income tax benefit was $1.8 million and income tax expense was $0.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, ~~and the income tax benefit was $0.2~~respectively, a decrease of $2.2 million ~~in the three months ended September 30, 2020. The income~~(or 550%). Income tax expense ~~was $0.7 million~~ in ~~the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and the income tax benefit was $0.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.~~

~~The 2021 income tax expense~~all periods resulted from applying the annual effective tax rate to year-to-date income from continuing operations adjusted for discrete ~~items. The~~items; however, the company had minimal income tax expense ~~of $0.7 million in~~for the ~~nine~~three months ended September 30, 2021 ~~included $1.1 million~~as it was in a full federal valuation allowance. The Company had released a portion of ~~current~~its federal valuation allowance at the end of 2021 however the Company had a loss before income taxes and was not able to utilize any deferred tax ~~expense offset by $0.4 million of income tax benefit from~~assets for the ~~true-up to the 2020 tax provision. The income tax benefit in the nine~~three months ended September 30, 2020, included an income tax benefit of $0.8 million from the tax valuation allowance release on Centrus’ state deferred income taxes for its LEU segment, an income tax benefit of $0.1 million from the true-up to the 2019 tax provision, and $0.3 million of current income tax expense.

Centrus continues to maintain a valuation allowance against its federal and certain state net deferred tax assets through September 30, 2021. However, we believe it is reasonably possible that sufficient positive evidence may become available to conclude that some or a significant portion of the federal valuation allowance will no longer be needed and may be released within the next 12 months. 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. In addition, the uncertainties described in Centrus’ Annual Report on Form 10-K Part 1, Item 1A – “Risk Factors” for the year ended December 31, 2020 and updated under Part II, Item 1A – “Risk Factors” of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ending March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 and in the Operating Results section of this document may impact the ability of Centrus to generate future taxable income and, therefore, the ability of Centrus to realize its deferred tax assets, including net operating losses, in the future. 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. Additional2022. For more information about the valuation allowance, ~~is provided~~see Note 13, Income Taxes, in ~~Note 14, Income Taxes, of the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report~~our Consolidated Financial Statements on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Based on Centrus’ analysis, there was no change to the tax valuation allowance during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets was $6.2 million and $5.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $0.8 million (or 15%). 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 $11.1 million and $12.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $1.8 million, or (14%). 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 $9.3 million and $0.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $8.6 million (or 1229%). 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 nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022. 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 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Net Income

Net income was $30.9 million and $58.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $27.9 million (or 47%). The $27.9 million decrease in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to a decrease in gross profit of $33.2 million in the Technical Solutions segment, an increase in Advanced Technology Costs of $8.7 million, and an increase in income tax expense of $8.6 million, discussed above. This was partially offset by an increase in gross profit of $24.4 million in the LEU segment. The decrease in gross profit from the Technical Solutions segment was driven by the $43.5 million of revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 related to the settlement of the Company’s claim for costs incurred in connection with a prior cost-reimbursable contract with DOE.

Net Income (Loss) per Share

Refer to Note 9, Net Income (Loss) per Share, of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company measures Net Income (Loss) and Net Income (Loss) 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 (Loss)” and “Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per ~~Share~~”Share”). We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) 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 third quarter of ~~2021~~2022, with a consolidated cash balance of ~~$171.0~~$131.7 million. We anticipate having adequate liquidity to support our business operations for at least the next 12 months from the date of this Quarterly Report. Our view of liquidity is dependent on, among other things, conditions affecting our operations, including market, international trade restrictions, 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~~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. 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. ~~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. ~~Our~~If we win a contract from DOE to operate the cascade, 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 by Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in this Quarterly Report ~~and our Quarterly Report~~ on Form ~~10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2021.~~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 September 2021, DOE and Centrus extended~~operation of the ~~lease term through December 31, 2025. Any facilities or equipment constructed or installed~~demonstration cascade.If a contract is awarded to the Company under ~~contract with DOE will be owned~~the terms proposed by DOE, ~~may be returned to DOE in an “as is” condition at~~ the ~~end~~cost share could have a material impact on the Company’s liquidity during Phase 1 of the ~~lease term, and DOE would~~base contract but the degree of impact cannot be ~~responsible for its D&D.~~estimated at this time. If ~~we determine the equipment and facilities may benefit Centrus after completion of the HALEU Contract, we may extend the facility lease, subject to mutual agreement regarding D&D and other issues.~~

~~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.

Increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(43.8)	$	19.0

Operating Activities

In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $35.1 million. The net decrease was due to an increase in payments made to suppliers of approximately $24.0 million as well as a decrease in cash collected from customers of approximately $24.0 million, which resulted from the timing of customer shipments and related contract terms. This remaining difference was primarily related to a reduction in disbursements from prior year for our Technical Solutions segment.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash provided by operating activities was $0.8 million. Net income of $58.8 million in the nine-month period, net of non-cash expenses, was a significant source of cash. Income included the $43.5 million recovery of claims for reimbursement for costs related to past contract services performed. The net increase is also the result of the $12.7 million decrease in accounts receivable. The increase in cash is partially offset by 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 $55.3 million and the decrease in payables under SWU purchase agreements of $19.0 million.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net cash provided by operating activities was $5.2 million. The net income of $38.0 million in the nine-month period, net of non-cash expenses, was a significant source of cash. Income included the $32.4 million recovery of bankruptcy court claims. The net increase is also the result of a decrease in inventories of $17.1 million. These increases were partially offset by a net reduction of $17.5 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 $28.1 million.

Investing Activities

Capital expenditures were ~~$0.7~~$0.6 million and ~~$0.9~~$0.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

Financing Activities

In both the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, payments of $6.1 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 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 nine months ended September 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, dated August 5, 2020. At present, the Company has $21.3 million remaining available for sale under the prospectus supplement dated December 31, 2020 and may from time to time sell additional shares through the sales agreement at the then market price. The Company currently intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for general working capital purposes, to invest in technology development and to repay outstanding debt or retire shares of its Series B Senior Preferred Stock.

As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed February 5, 2021, on February 2, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to its existing Voting and Nomination Agreement with Mr. Morris Bawabeh, Kulayba LLC and M&D Bawabeh Foundation, Inc. (collectively, the “MB Group”) and an Exchange Agreement (as described below) whereby the MB Group agreed to support management’s recommendation on certain matters at the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) and Kulayba LLC agreed to exchange shares of Preferred Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock and a warrant to acquire additional shares of Class A

Common Stock. Pursuant to the First Amendment to the Voting and Nomination Agreement, the MB Group agreed to cause all shares of Class A Common Stock owned of record or beneficially owned by the MB Group at the Annual Meeting to be voted in favor of (i) an amendment to extend the length of the term of the Company’s Section 382 Rights Agreement dated as of April 6, 2016, as amended to date, for two years from June 30, 2021, to June 30, 2023, and (ii) an increase of shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for delivery under the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended to date, of an additional 700,000 shares of Class A Common Stock.

In connection with the entry into the Voting Agreement Amendment, the Company and Kulayba LLC also entered into the Exchange Agreement, pursuant to which Kulayba LLC agreed to the Exchange, representing a $5,000,198 liquidation preference (including accrued and unpaid dividends), for (i) 231,276 shares of Class A Common Stock priced at the closing market price of $21.62 on the date the Exchange Agreement was signed and (ii) the Warrant, exercisable for 250,000 shares of Class A 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 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. Additional terms and conditions of the 8.25% Notes are described in Note 6, Debt, of the ~~unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements~~Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 8~~Note 9,~~, Debt, of the ~~consolidated financial statements~~Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

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 September 30, 2021, and have not declared, accrued or paid dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock as of September 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.~~

Company to redeem Series B Preferred Shares during the 90 days following the date of effectiveness of the Series B Preferred Amendment at a redemption price per share equal to $1,145.20 (plus any additional accrued dividends for the period from and including the date of effectiveness of the Series B Preferred Amendment to the date of redemption), (iii) remove the prohibition on the declaration and payment of dividends on junior stock of the Company, which includes all shares of the Company’s capital stock defined as “Common Stock” in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, or the redemption, purchase or acquisition of such junior stock, and (iv) remove the restriction on redemption, purchase or acquisition of capital stock of the Company ranking on parity with the Series B Preferred Shares. If the Series B Preferred Amendment is approved, we currently intend to redeem all Series B Preferred Shares that remain outstanding following the consummation of the Offer at the reduced redemption price referred to in clause (ii) above. Pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation, the consent of holders of at least 90% of the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares is required to approve the Series B Preferred Amendment. The Offer is currently set to expire on November 18, 2021.

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 September 30, ~~2021 or December 31, 2020.~~2022.

~~We may not obtain the full benefit~~The current war in Ukraine and related international sanctions and restrictions on trade could have an adverse impact on our business, results of ~~the HALEU Contract~~operations, and ~~may not be able to operate the HALEU enrichment facility to produce HALEU during and after the completion of the HALEU Contract.~~financial condition.

~~In 2019, Centrus began work~~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 of the Company or TENEX to perform under the TENEX Supply Contract, but the situation is 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 ~~three-year, $115 million cost-shared contract with the DOE~~Russian bank might prevent funds from being transferred to deploy a cascade of 16 of our AC100M centrifuges to demonstrate production of HALEU with domestic technology. At the conclusion of the demonstration program funding in 2022, our goal is to secure a follow-on contract and ultimately begin commercial production and incrementally scale up the Piketon facility as demand for HALEU grows in the commercial and/or government sectors. This is dependent on securing additional fundingTENEX’s account from the U.S. ~~government or other sources, and retaining~~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 ~~NRC license. For further discussion, refer~~ability to ~~Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors in~~meet our ~~Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as updated by Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in~~delivery obligations to our ~~quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2021.~~customers.

~~While~~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. For example in June 2022, Canada prohibited Canadian entities from providing transportation services to Russians or persons in Russia 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 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. Further, adverse consequences for future deliveries of Russian LEU could result if companies who are closely involved in the U.S. nuclear fuel cycle (including, for example, the supply of the natural uranium used to return the uranium component of Russian LEU to TENEX), are prevented from performing and making such natural uranium available to TENEX for return to Russia, as required by the terms of the Russian Suspension Agreement. In addition, companies that provide us with services essential to implementation of the TENEX Supply Contract, including but not limited to companies affected by sanctions from countries such as Canada, conclude that for reasons of risk or cost, they no longer can provide those services to us.

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. and foreign governments to current events in Ukraine could impact our ability to make future sales or meet our existing ~~contract ends on June 1, 2022,~~obligations. In addition, uncertainty in the ~~Department of Energy’s Fiscal 2022 budget request includes $33 million~~market will tend to ~~establish a new HALEU availability program,~~push market prices up, and since a portion of ~~which would~~the price paid under our TENEX Supply Contract is based on commodity indices, an increase in market prices will have a corresponding impact on our cost of sales.

Additional sanctions or other measures by the U.S. or foreign governments (including the Russian government) could be ~~used for “continuing~~imposed in the future. There have been proposals in U.S. Congress and elsewhere to ~~support~~ban imports of uranium that could affect our ability to import LEU in one or more years under the ~~16 machines in Piketon.” The Department has indicated that it is considering changes to the scope~~TENEX Supply Contract but none of these have been adopted as of the ~~existing contract including moving~~date of this filing. Any sanctions or measures directed at trade in LEU from Russia or the ~~operational portion of~~parties involved in such trade or otherwise could interfere with, or prevent, performance under the ~~demonstration to a new, competitively-awarded contract, with operations to begin in mid-2022. Centrus believes it~~TENEX Supply Contract. Accordingly, the situation at this time is ~~well-positioned to compete for a follow-on contract to operate the machines in Piketon but~~unpredictable and therefore there is no assurance that ~~DOE will award such a contract to the Company. Congress has~~future developments would not yet adopted a Fiscal Year 2022 appropriations bill for the Department, and there is no assurance that the proposed program, which would go beyond the scope and duration of our existing contract, will be approved and funded. While obtaining an NRC license and completing construction of the cascade are important milestones, our inability to demonstrate production of HALEU may materially adversely affect our ability to obtain funding or attract investment required for the expansion of the Piketon facility. In the event that DOE were to award a contract for production of HALEU to another party, the Company could be required to delease the Piketon facility and return it, along with the centrifuges and supporting equipment, to DOE. This would likely result in the termination of the NRC license and the Company laying off its Piketon facility workforce. Alternatively, if we are awarded the contract to operate the cascade at the Piketon facility, since the terms and conditions of such contract are uncertain, the Company may be required to incur additional costs and liabilities pursuant to that contract.

If the Company’s operation of the Piketon facility were terminated, there can be no assurance that we could regain use of the Piketon facility or obtain an NRC license in the future at the Piketon site or an alternative site, in which event we would be unable to begin commercial production of HALEU. We may also incur additional costs related to reducing our workforce or closing the Piketon facility. Failure to secure U.S. government or other funding to support the continued operation of the Piketon facility, and retain our NRC license, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s procurement, payment, delivery or sale of LEU by the Company.

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 condition 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.
