BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 16, 2015--
Centrus Energy Corp. (NYSE MKT: LEU) today reported net income of $297.8
million for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, compared to a net
loss of $158.9 million for 2013. For the fourth quarter ended December
31, 2014, Centrus reported a net loss of $42.3 million.
Consistent with the Company’s prior guidance, revenue from the low
enriched uranium segment in 2014 declined by approximately 65 percent
year-over-year reflecting the expected decline in separative work units
(SWU) deliveries following the cessation of enrichment at the Paducah
Gaseous Diffusion Plant (GDP) at the end of May 2013, reduced purchases
of Russian SWU for sale and the variability in timing of utility
customer orders. The gross loss was smaller year-over-year primarily due
to decreases in non-production expenses related to the preparation of
the Paducah GDP for return to the Department of Energy (DOE) in October
2014. Centrus ended 2014 with a cash balance of $218.8 million.
“2014 will be remembered as a year of transition for our Company,” said
John R. Castellano, interim president and chief executive officer. “We
successfully completed the research, development and demonstration
program for the American Centrifuge technology under our cooperative
agreement in April and transitioned to the ACTDO contract in May. We
completed the balance sheet restructuring in September and returned the
Paducah GDP to the government in October. The selection of Daniel
Poneman as the new president and chief executive officer of Centrus is
an important next step in our transition. We have a solid team in place
to move Centrus forward.”
Upon emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy on September 30, 2014, Centrus
adopted fresh start accounting which resulted in Centrus becoming a new
entity for financial reporting purposes. References to “Successor”
relate to the financial position of the reorganized Centrus as of and
subsequent to September 30, 2014 and results of operations for the three
months ended December 31, 2014. References to “Predecessor” refer to the
financial position of the Company prior to September 30, 2014 and the
results of operations through September 30, 2014. As a result of the
application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the
implementation of the Plan of Reorganization, the financial statements
on or after September 30, 2014 are not comparable with the financial
statements prior to that date.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have two reportable segments measured and presented through the gross
profit line of our statement of operations: the LEU segment with two
components, SWU and uranium, and the contract services segment. In
addition to the presentation in the consolidated financial statements of
our results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended
December 31, 2014 and the nine months ended September 30, 2014,
management believes it is useful to present certain combined results for
the full year 2014 as supplementary information below. In such cases,
the combined results for 2014 provide for a more useful, normalized
comparison to the results of the Predecessor for 2013. Combined 2014
results for the consolidated statements of cash flows and for the
elements of the consolidated statements of operations that are not
categorized by segment are considered non-GAAP. When evaluating results
of operations below gross profit, management views the year ended
December 31, 2014 as a single, whole measurement period instead of a
pair of distinct periods which must be divided and reported separately
according to GAAP. Consequently, the Company is presenting the operating
results of the Predecessor and Successor on a combined basis for the
year ended December 31, 2014. This combined presentation is a non-GAAP
summation of the Predecessor’s pre-reorganization results of operations
for the period from January 1, 2014 through September 30, 2014 and the
Successor’s results of operations for the period from October 1, 2014
through December 31, 2014. Management believes that the combined
presentation provides additional information that enables meaningful
comparison of the Company’s financial performance during uniform
periods. The non-GAAP combined results for 2014 are presented in
addition to the GAAP results for the three months ended December 31,
2014 and the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Simultaneous with the issuance of this news release, Centrus submitted
its 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K to the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission that includes significant additional details about results in
2014 and expenses directly associated with our reorganization. The Form
10-K is available on our website www.centrusenergy.com.
The Company will not hold a conference call with investors this quarter.
We look forward to meeting with shareholders at the Centrus Annual
Meeting on May 7 when Daniel Poneman will provide his perspective on the
Company’s future and its role in the nuclear fuel industry.
Revenue
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $123.6 million. For the full
year 2014, revenue was $514.1 million, compared to $1,307.5 million in
2013. The decline in revenue year-over-year corresponded with the 65
percent decline in volume of SWU delivered to customers. The average
price billed to customers for sales of SWU increased 2 percent
reflecting the particular contracts under which SWU were sold during the
periods. There were minimal uranium sales in 2014 as substantially all
of our inventories of uranium available for sale have been sold in prior
years.
Revenue from the contract services segment increased in both the fourth
quarter and full- year 2014 compared to the prior year, reflecting $54.5
million for American Centrifuge work performed for Oak Ridge National
Laboratory (ORNL) under the American Centrifuge Technology Demonstration
and Operations (ACTDO) Agreement beginning May 1, 2014. That increase
was partially offset by a decline in contract services work performed at
the Paducah GDP.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit Margin
Cost of sales for the LEU segment for the quarter ended December 31,
2014, was $119.6 million. For the combined full-year period of 2014,
total cost of sales was $489.0 million, a reduction of $899.8 million or
65 percent compared to the same period in 2013. The lower cost of sales
in 2014 was due to lower SWU sales volume and lower non-production
expenses. Non-production expenses are included in cost of sales during
both 2013 and 2014 periods, but non-production expense declined 57
percent in 2014 compared to 2013 as Paducah activities wound down.
Cost of sales per SWU, excluding non-production expenses, increased 1
percent in 2014 compared to 2013 primarily due to the increase to book
value of SWU inventories recorded as part of the application of fresh
start accounting. Under our monthly moving average cost method, changes
in purchase costs have an effect on inventory costs and cost of sales
over current and future periods. Purchase costs for the SWU component of
LEU from Russia declined $591.9 million or 78 percent in 2014 compared
to 2013 following the conclusion of the Russian Contract in December
2013 and the commencement of lower quantities purchased under the
Russian Supply Agreement in June 2013 and reflecting differences in
timing of delivery.
As we accelerated the expected productive life of plant assets and
ceased enrichment at the Paducah GDP in May 2013, we incurred a number
of expenses unrelated to production that have been charged directly to
cost of sales. Non-production expenses totaled $84.3 million in 2014 and
$194.2 million in 2013.
Cost of sales for the contract services segment increased $52.8 million
in 2014 compared to 2013 primarily due to American Centrifuge work
performed under the ACTDO Agreement, as well as increased absorption of
fixed costs for government services contracts at the Paducah GDP.
Advanced Technology, SG&A Expense and Special Charges
Advanced technology costs declined $124.8 million in 2014 compared to
2013 reflecting a decrease in development activity under the Cooperative
Agreement with DOE, which expired in accordance with its terms on April
30, 2014. Effective May 1, 2014, we continue to perform research,
development and demonstration of the American Centrifuge technology
under the ACTDO Agreement with UT-Battelle, as operator of ORNL, for
which revenue and cost of sales are recognized in the contract services
segment. We incurred $17.0 million in 2014 for certain demobilization
and maintenance costs related to American Centrifuge that are included
in advanced technology costs. In January 2015, ORNL exercised its option
to extend the period of performance for the ACTDO Agreement by an
additional six months to September 30, 2015.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $42.4 million
in 2014. SG&A expenses in 2014 were 9 percent lower compared to the
corresponding periods in 2013 as compensation and benefit costs declined
$4.6 million due to reduced staffing levels and reductions in incentive
compensation.
The cessation of enrichment at the Paducah GDP and evolving business
needs have resulted in workforce reductions since July 2013 of 1,081
employees, consisting of 1,036 employees at the Paducah GDP and 45
employees at American Centrifuge and headquarters. Special charges in
2014 consisted of termination benefits of $8.2 million, less $4.0
million of severance paid by the Company and invoiced to DOE for its
share of Paducah employee severance. Special charges in 2013 included
termination benefits of $25.2 million, less $1.2 million of severance
paid by the Company and invoiced to DOE. Special charges in 2013 also
included costs of $11.0 million for advisors on the restructuring of our
balance sheet.

Cash Flow
At December 31, 2014, Centrus had a cash balance of $218.8 million
compared to $314.2 million at December 31, 2013. Cash flow provided by
operations in the fourth quarter of 2014 was $110.2 million, and on a
combined basis with the nine-month period of 2014 cash flow used in
operations was $110.1 million. In 2013, cash flow provided by operations
was $81.2 million. The combined operating loss of $112.8 million, net of
non-cash charges including depreciation and amortization and primarily
due to non-production expenses, was a use of cash flow in 2014. In
addition, cash payments made for reorganization items of $23.8 million
and interest payments of $15.9 million made to former noteholders was a
use of cash flow in the period. Net reductions of the Russian Supply
Agreement payables balance of $200.6 million, due to the timing of
deliveries, was a significant use of cash flow in 2014, offset by the
monetization of inventory purchased or produced in prior periods that
provided cash flow as inventories declined $200.0 million.
The change in cash and cash equivalents from our consolidated statements
of cash flows are as follows on a summarized basis (in millions):

2015 Outlook Update
Centrus will continue its transition during 2015 and we expect to
deliver significantly less SWU to customers than the approximately 8
million SWU delivered in 2013. During 2014, we delivered approximately 3
million SWU and we expect to deliver approximately 2 million SWU in
2015. We will also continue to execute our contract with ORNL to conduct
research, development and demonstration of the American Centrifuge
technology under the terms of the ACTDO Agreement.
Specifically, we anticipate SWU and uranium revenue in 2015 in a range
of $350 million to $375 million and total revenue in a range of $425
million to $450 million. We expect to end 2015 with a cash and cash
equivalents balance in a range of $175 to $200 million.
Our financial guidance is subject to a number of assumptions and
uncertainties that could affect results either positively or negatively.
Variations from our expectations could cause differences between our
guidance and our ultimate results. Among the factors that could affect
our results are:
-
Additional short-term sales;
-
Timing of customer orders and related SWU deliveries;
-
Payment of disputed DOE contract service costs;
-
Funding of the ACTDO Agreement or a successor agreement beyond its
current contract expiration date of September 30, 2015; and
-
The cost of any American Centrifuge demobilization or additional costs
related to the overall transition of Centrus.

Forward-Looking Statements:
This news release contains “forward-looking statements” within the
meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 - that is,
statements related to future events. In this context, forward-looking
statements may address our expected future business and financial
performance, and often contain words such as “expects”, “anticipates”,
“intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “will”, “should”, “could” or “may” and
other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements by their
nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. For
Centrus Energy Corp., particular risks and uncertainties that could
cause our actual future results to differ materially from those
expressed in our forward-looking statements include, risks and
uncertainties related to our recent emergence from Chapter 11
bankruptcy, our new capital structure and the adoption of fresh start
accounting; risks related to our significant long-term liabilities
including material unfunded defined benefit pension plan obligations and
postretirement health and life benefit obligations; risks related to the
limited trading markets in our securities and risks relating to our
ability to maintain the listing of our common stock on the NYSE MKT LLC;
the continued impact of the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan
on the nuclear industry and on our business, results of operations and
prospects; the impact and potential extended duration of the current
supply/demand imbalance in the market for low enriched uranium (“LEU”);
risks related to the ongoing transition of our business, including the
impact of our ceasing enrichment at and the de-lease and return to the
U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) of the Paducah gaseous diffusion plant
and uncertainty regarding our ability to commercially deploy the
American Centrifuge project; our dependence on deliveries of LEU from
Russia under a commercial supply agreement (the “Russian Supply
Agreement”) with a Russian government entity known as Techsnabexport
(“TENEX”) and limitations on our ability to import the Russian LEU we
buy under the Russian Supply Agreement into the United States and other
countries; uncertainty regarding funding for the American Centrifuge
project and the potential for a demobilization or termination of the
American Centrifuge project if additional government funding is not
provided following completion of the current agreement with UT-Battelle,
LLC ("UT-Battelle"), the management and operating contractor for Oak
Ridge National Laboratory (“ORNL”) for continued research, development
and demonstration of the American Centrifuge technology (the “ACTDO
Agreement”); risks related to our ability to perform the work required
under the ACTDO Agreement at a cost that does not exceed the firm fixed
funding provided thereunder; uncertainty regarding the timing and
structure of the U.S. government program for maintaining a domestic
enrichment capability to meet national security requirements and our
role in such a program; the impact of actions we have taken (including
as a result of the reduction in scope of work under the ACTDO Agreement
as compared to the scope of work under the prior agreement signed with
DOE in June 2012 (the "Cooperative Agreement")) or might take in the
future to reduce spending on the American Centrifuge project, including
the potential loss of key suppliers and employees and impacts to cost,
schedule and the ability to remobilize for commercial deployment of the
American Centrifuge Plant; the impact of nuclear fuel market conditions
and other factors on the economic viability of the American Centrifuge
project without additional government support and on our ability to
finance the project and the potential for a demobilization or
termination of the project; uncertainty regarding our ability to achieve
targeted performance over the life of the American Centrifuge Plant
which could affect the overall economics of the American Centrifuge
Plant; uncertainty concerning the ultimate success of our efforts to
obtain a loan guarantee from DOE and/or other financing, including
intercompany funding from Enrichment Corp., for the American Centrifuge
project or additional government support for the project and the timing
and terms thereof; the decline in our backlog and risks relating to the
remaining backlog including uncertainty concerning customer actions
under current contracts and in future contracting due to market
conditions, the delay and uncertainty in deployment of the American
Centrifuge technology and/or as a result of changes that may be required
to such contracts due to our cessation of enrichment at Paducah; the
dependency of government funding or other government support for the
American Centrifuge project on Congressional appropriations or on
actions by DOE or Congress; potential changes in our anticipated
ownership of or role in the American Centrifuge project, including as a
result of our role as a subcontractor to UT-Battelle or as a result of
the need to raise additional capital to finance the project in the
future; the potential for DOE to seek to terminate or exercise its
remedies under the 2002 DOE-USEC agreement, or to require modifications
to such agreement that are materially adverse to Centrus Energy Corp.’s
interests; changes in U.S. government priorities and the availability of
government funding or support, including loan guarantees; risks related
to our ability to manage our liquidity without a credit facility; risks
related to our ability to sell the LEU we procure under our purchase
obligations under the Russian Supply Agreement including risks related
to actions that may be taken by the U.S. government, the Russian
government or other governments that could affect our ability or the
ability of TENEX to perform under the Russian Supply Agreement,
including the imposition of sanctions, restrictions or other
requirements; risks associated with our reliance on third-party
suppliers to provide essential services to us; the decrease or
elimination of duties charged on imports of foreign-produced LEU;
pricing trends and demand in the uranium and enrichment markets and
their impact on our profitability; movement and timing of customer
orders; changes to, or termination of, our agreements with the U.S.
government; risks related to delays in payment for our contract services
work performed for DOE, including our ability to resolve certified
claims for payment filed by United States Enrichment Corporation under
the Contracts Dispute Act; the impact of government regulation by DOE
and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission; the outcome of legal
proceedings and other contingencies (including lawsuits and government
investigations or audits); the competitive environment for our products
and services; changes in the nuclear energy industry; the impact of
volatile financial market conditions on our business, liquidity,
prospects, pension assets and credit and insurance facilities; revenue
and operating results can fluctuate significantly from quarter to
quarter, and in some cases, year to year; and other risks and
uncertainties discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K and quarterly
reports on Form 10-Q, which are available on our website www.centrusenergy.com.
Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various
disclosures made in our filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and
factors that may affect our business. We do not undertake to update our
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that may
arise after the date of this new release except as required by law.
