BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May. 6, 2013--
USEC Inc. (NYSE:USU) today reported a net loss of $2.0 million or 2
cents per basic and diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2013
compared to a net loss of $28.8 million or 24 cents per basic and
diluted share for the first quarter of 2012.
The financial results for the first quarter 2013 reflect a reduction in
separative work unit (SWU) revenue and lower gross profit compared to
the same period of 2012. Results include the recognition of $47.6
million of other income from U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) pro-rata
cost sharing support for the research, development and demonstration
(RD&D) program, offset by increased advanced technology costs. In
addition, USEC completed the sale of its subsidiary NAC International on
March 15, 2013. The sale and results of NAC operations through the date
of divestiture are presented under net income from discontinued
operations. The March 31, 2013, cash balance was $71.9 million after
repaying an $83.2 million term loan and an account payable to Russia of
$209.8 million.
“Our employees at the Paducah plant continue to deliver the highest
quality enriched uranium from the 60-year-old plant,” said John K.
Welch, USEC president and chief executive officer. “While we continue to
pursue options for a short-term extension of enrichment at Paducah
beyond May 31, we also continue to prepare to cease enrichment in early
June.”
Welch said, “Looking to our future, the RD&D program at the American
Centrifuge Plant is also going well. During the quarter, construction of
the demonstration cascade in Piketon, Ohio, was completed; we achieved
program milestones; and we have begun testing control systems and
support equipment for the 120-machine cascade. We remain on schedule to
complete the program during 2013.
“The decline in our cash balance at the end of the first quarter was the
expected result of paying off our term loan in the first quarter and a
substantial year-end payable to the Russians under the Megatons to
Megawatts program. We expect the cash balance to improve over the next
several quarters through positive cash flow from operations,” Welch said.
Revenue
Revenue for the first quarter of 2013 was $320.4 million, a decrease of
$221.6 million or 41 percent compared to the same quarter of 2012.
Revenue from the sale of SWU for the quarter was $290.2 million compared
to $537.9 million in the same period last year. The volume of SWU sales
decreased 49 percent in the quarter reflecting the variability in timing
of utility customer orders and the expected decline in SWU deliveries in
2013 compared to 2012. The average price billed to customers for sales
of SWU increased 5 percent reflecting the particular contracts under
which SWU were sold during the periods. Revenue from the sale of uranium
was $27.6 million in the first quarter of 2013 compared with no sales in
the first quarter of 2012. Revenue from the contract services segment
was $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2013 compared to $4.1 million
in the same period of 2012, reflecting reduced contract services
performed for DOE and DOE contractors and reserves of revenue of $0.8
million in the first quarter of 2013 pending resolution of cost
allocations to the closeout of the cold shutdown contract. Revenue and
costs for NAC in both periods are included in discontinued operations.
In a number of sales transactions, USEC transfers title and collects
cash from customers but does not recognize the revenue until the low
enriched uranium (LEU) is physically delivered. At March 31, 2013,
deferred revenue totaled $112.1 million compared to $123.1 million at
December 31, 2012. The gross profit associated with deferred revenue as
of March 31, 2013, was $5.9 million.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit Margin
Cost of sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, for SWU and uranium
was $303.8 million, a decrease of $197.4 million or 39 percent, compared
to the corresponding period in 2012 due to lower SWU sales volume,
partially offset by uranium sales and higher unit SWU costs in the
current period. Cost of sales per SWU was 7 percent higher in the
quarter compared to the first quarter of 2012. Cost of sales for SWU
reflects monthly moving average inventory costs based on production and
purchase costs.
The shorter expected service life of the Paducah GDP resulted in
accelerated charges to expense of $2.8 million in three months ended
March 31, 2013, including $2.0 million of accelerated depreciation. In
the corresponding quarter in 2012, cost of sales was reduced by
approximately $14.6 million for revisions to prior accrued amounts
related to estimated disposal costs for depleted uranium and property
taxes related to enrichment operations. Excluding the effects of these
items, cost of sales per SWU was approximately 3 percent higher in the
three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012.
Production costs declined $37.9 million, or 17 percent, as production
volume declined 14 percent in the three months ended March 31, 2013,
compared to the corresponding period in 2012. The unit production cost
declined 3 percent in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the
corresponding period in 2012. Production in the quarter consisted of
enrichment of depleted uranium under the one-year multi-party
arrangement with Energy Northwest, the Bonneville Power Administration,
the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and DOE. The average cost per
megawatt hour declined 3 percent in the three months ended March 31,
2013, compared to the corresponding period in 2012, reflecting lower
unit power costs commencing in June 2012 under the amended TVA power
contract.
We historically have purchased approximately 5.5 million SWU per year
under the Megatons to Megawatts program, and under our agreed upon
shipping schedule, there were no deliveries in the first quarter of
either 2012 or 2013.
Cost of sales for contract services was $3.3 million in the first
quarter, a decrease of $0.8 million over the same period last year.
The gross profit for the first quarter was $13.3 million, a decrease of
$23.4 million over the same period in 2012. The gross profit margin for
the 2013 period was 4.2 percent compared to 6.8 percent in the first
quarter of 2012. Gross profit for the LEU segment declined $22.7 million
due to lower SWU sales volume and lower unit profit margins.
Advanced Technology, Special Charges, Other Income and Interest
Advanced technology costs increased $22.6 million in the three months
ended March 31, 2013, compared to the corresponding period in 2012,
reflecting increased development activity in connection with the RD&D
program. All American Centrifuge project costs in both periods were
expensed.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter were
$12.9 million, a decrease of $0.7 million over the same period in 2012,
reflecting a decrease of $1.1 million in salaries and other compensation
partially offset by an increase of $0.3 million in employee benefits
costs.
Our business is in a state of significant transition. In early 2012, we
initiated an internal review of our organizational structure and engaged
a management consulting firm to support this review. We are also engaged
with our advisors and certain stakeholders on alternatives for a
possible restructuring of our balance sheet. Costs for these advisors
totaled $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2013 compared to $4.5
million in the first quarter of 2012. Additionally, a charge of $1.9
million was incurred in the first quarter of 2012 for one-time
termination benefits for affected employees at our American Centrifuge
design and engineering operations in Oak Ridge, Tenn., and our
headquarters operations located in Bethesda, Md.
DOE and USEC provide pro-rata cost sharing support for continued
American Centrifuge activities under our June 2012 cooperative
agreement, as amended. In the first quarter of 2013, DOE’s pro-rata
share of 80 percent, or $47.6 million, for qualifying American
Centrifuge expenditures is recognized as other income in the three
months ended March 31, 2013.
Interest expense was $13.3 million, an increase of $0.6 million in the
three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the corresponding period
in 2012. In connection with amendments of our credit facility in March
2013 and March 2012, previously deferred financing costs of $1.7 million
and $1.4 million were expensed in the first quarters of 2013 and 2012,
respectively.
Net Results from Continuing and Discontinued Operations
The net loss from continuing operations improved $5.6 million in the
three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the corresponding period
in 2012, reflecting DOE’s pro-rata cost sharing support for the RD&D
program included in other income, partially offset by the after-tax
effects of lower gross profits and increased advanced technology costs.
USEC sold its NAC subsidiary on March 15, 2013, to Hitz Holdings U.S.A.
Inc. (Hitz), a subsidiary of Hitachi Zosen Corporation. Results of NAC
operations through the date of divestiture are presented under net
income from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31,
2013 and 2012. Net income from discontinued operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2013, of $21.7 million includes USEC’s gain on
the sale of $35.6 million, representing the cash proceeds from the sale
less the net carrying amount of NAC assets and liabilities of $5.5
million (including goodwill of $6.8 million) and transaction costs of
$2.1 million.
Cash Flow
At March 31, 2013, USEC had a cash balance of $71.9 million compared to
$292.9 million at December 31, 2012, and $72.3 million at March 31,
2012. Cash flow used by operations in the first quarter of 2013 was
$175.3 million, compared to cash flow provided by operations of $47.7
million in the previous year’s period. Inventories declined $57.1
million in the three-month period due to monetization of inventory
produced in the prior year. Payment of the Russian Contract payables
balance of $209.8 million, for deliveries in prior periods, was a
significant use of cash flow in the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Cash proceeds on the sale of NAC of $39.9 million were received in the
three months ended March 31, 2013. On April 23, 2013, an additional $3.3
million in cash proceeds on the sale of NAC were received representing
the final remaining purchase price adjustment.
On March 14, 2013, we amended our credit facility that was scheduled to
mature on May 31, 2013. The amended revolving credit facility totals
$110.0 million (including letters of credit of up to $50.0 million or
$25.0 million upon cessation of enrichment at the Paducah GDP) and
matures on September 30, 2013. USEC also repaid the $83.2 million
outstanding on the term loan under its 2012 credit facility.
Paducah Plant Update
USEC enriches uranium at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (GDP) that
we lease from DOE. We are currently continuing enrichment at the plant
in support of a multi-party arrangement to re-enrich DOE’s depleted
uranium that expires on May 31, 2013. We are preparing to transition our
enrichment technology to the American Centrifuge over the next several
years, but managing this transition has been made more challenging by
the prolonged outage of more than 50 reactors in Japan and Germany.
These shutdowns have significantly affected the global supply and demand
for LEU. An oversupply of nuclear fuel available for sale has increased
over time and has resulted in significant downward pressure on market
prices for LEU. These market conditions have challenged our business,
including efforts to continue enrichment at the Paducah GDP.
We are currently in discussions with potential interested parties for a
short-term extension of enrichment at the Paducah GDP beyond May 31,
2013. However, we have no assurance that we will reach an agreement or
other arrangement to support continued enrichment beyond May 31. We also
have no assurance regarding the terms of any agreement that we may reach
and the impact of those terms on our results of operations.
A short-term extension of enrichment at Paducah beyond May 31 would be
expected to provide additional cash from operations during 2013 and to
reduce some transition expenses. However, such an extension may not
produce the anticipated cash or cost savings. The economics to us of any
extension are significantly challenged in light of current SWU market
conditions and power prices. If we do not reach an agreement, we expect
to commence actions to cease enrichment at the Paducah GDP in the near
term. We are currently in discussions with DOE regarding the timing of
our de-lease and are seeking to minimize our transition costs, which
could be substantial. We are also seeking to manage the impacts of the
Paducah transition on our existing business.
American Centrifuge Update
We continued to make progress in demonstrating the American Centrifuge
technology in the first quarter of 2013. On April 3, 2013, USEC
announced that it has completed construction of its American Centrifuge
commercial demonstration cascade in Piketon, Ohio. This 120-machine
cascade is the centerpiece of the cooperative RD&D program. The
objectives of the RD&D program are to demonstrate the American
Centrifuge technology through the construction and operation of a
commercial demonstration cascade and sustain the domestic U.S.
centrifuge technical and industrial base for national security purposes
and potential commercialization of the American Centrifuge technology.
This includes activities to reduce the technical risks and improve the
future prospects of deployment of the American Centrifuge technology.
Construction activities included preparing the cascade for machine
installation, making physical improvements to the facilities, removing
existing cascade support equipment and installing new infrastructure
systems. Cascade construction involved more than 300 workers, including
many local union tradesmen who worked more than 150,000 man-hours
without a recordable injury or lost-time accident. The RD&D program as a
whole supports more than 1,100 jobs and utilizes more than 160 companies
from 28 states.
With cascade construction complete, the project team will continue
system testing in preparation for formal integrated systems testing
required before the cascade becomes operational later this year. This
will enable us to demonstrate redundancy of the primary cascade support
systems for commercial plant operation and to complete integrated system
testing against operational requirements. We plan to incorporate the
120-machine cascade in the full commercial plant of 96 identical
cascades. We are also updating a commercialization plan for the American
Centrifuge project following the completion of the RD&D program and
working to improve our balance sheet to position USEC financially to
move forward as a stronger sponsor of the American Centrifuge project.
In 2013, we expect to update our application for a $2 billion loan
guarantee from DOE, obtain additional debt and equity financing for the
project and secure additional sales commitments. As part of the
commercialization effort, we expect to need additional investors in the
project, which would reduce our ownership in the project.
The cooperative agreement between USEC and DOE defines the scope,
funding and technical goals for the RD&D program. The program schedule
runs from June 1, 2012, through December 31, 2013. The total investment
in the program will be up to $350 million, with DOE providing 80
percent, and USEC providing 20 percent of the total. DOE’s total
contribution would be up to $280 million and our contribution would be
up to $70 million. The cooperative agreement is being incrementally
funded, and $177.8 million of DOE funding has been provided. The amount
of federal funding made available to date is expected to fund RD&D
program activities through June 15, 2013. The recently enacted Fiscal
Year 2013 continuing appropriations resolution included additional
funding for continued work on the RD&D program at an annual rate of $110
million, which is expected to fund the RD&D program through September
30, 2013. We have adjusted our program spending to accommodate changes
to the timing and amount of federal funding, and we remain on schedule
and budget to complete the RD&D program by the end of 2013. We will
continue to work with Congress and the Administration to fund the RD&D
program through December 2013 and achieve the remaining program
milestones.
The June 2012 cooperative agreement with DOE, as amended most recently
on March 15, 2013, includes technical milestones for the RD&D program.
To date, four milestones have been achieved and five remain. USEC
recently achieved, and on May 1, 2013, DOE certified satisfactory
completion of two milestones relating to (1) testing on extended feed
rate range and (2) testing machine performance parameters. Both tests
demonstrated advanced design features and robustness of the centrifuges
to adverse operating conditions.
In addition, the cooperative agreement contains non-binding performance
indicators that are designed to be achieved throughout the RD&D program
and ensure that the RD&D program is on track to achieve the milestones
and other program objectives. Although the performance indicators are
non-binding, the failure to achieve a performance indicator could cause
DOE to take actions that are adverse to USEC. By manufacturing the 120
AC100 centrifuges required for the demonstration cascade, the program
has met the third out of five performance indicators.
2013 Outlook Update
As previously noted, due to the uncertainties inherent in USEC’s period
of transition, we are limiting our guidance for USEC’s financial results
and operating metrics for 2013. We expect SWU deliveries in 2013 to be
lower compared to 2012. At this time, we are not updating the guidance
provided in the annual report on Form 10-K and year-end earnings news
release of March 18, 2013.
We are in the midst of an RD&D program that has an 80 percent DOE and 20
percent USEC cost share. We have adjusted our program spending to
accommodate changes to the timing and amount of federal funding. Federal
funding for the program has been incremental and subject to
Congressional action. As noted earlier, appropriations are in place to
fund the RD&D program through September 30, 2013.
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 substantial differences
between our guidance and ultimate results. Among the factors that could
affect our results are:
-
Our ability to reach an agreement for a potential short-term extension
of enrichment at the Paducah GDP beyond May 31, 2013, and the terms of
any such agreement;
-
The timing and amount of potential severance costs, pension and
post-retirement benefit costs and other costs related to the
transition of the Paducah GDP;
-
The timing of recognition of previously deferred revenue;
-
Movement and timing of customer orders; and
-
Changes to SWU and uranium price indicators, and changes in inflation
that can affect the price of SWU billed to customers.
Continued Listing Standards Notice from NYSE
USEC has been notified by the New York Stock Exchange that the Company
has fallen below the exchange’s continued listing standards related to
minimum market capitalization in combination with stockholders’ equity.
The Company’s common stock continues to trade on the NYSE. USEC is below
the continued listing criteria established by the NYSE because the
Company’s market capitalization has averaged less than $50 million in a
recent consecutive 30 trading-day period at the same time that
stockholders’ equity has been below $50 million. USEC reported a
stockholders’ deficit of $472.9 million as of December 31, 2012,
following the expense of $1.1 billion of previously capitalized work in
process costs related to the American Centrifuge project.
USEC has notified the NYSE that it will submit a plan to restore
compliance. The Company has 45 days from receipt of the April 30, 2013,
notice from the NYSE to submit a plan, and the NYSE has 45 days from
receipt of the plan to accept or reject it. If the plan is accepted, the
Company has up to 18 months to demonstrate compliance with the NYSE
continued listing standards. During this 18-month period, USEC common
shares will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE, subject to
continued periodic review by the NYSE of USEC’s progress with respect to
its plan and compliance with other NYSE continued listing standards.
The average closing price of the Company’s common stock also continues
to be below the NYSE’s continued listing criteria relating to minimum
share price. To cure this condition, the Company intends to seek
stockholder approval for a reverse stock split at its next annual
meeting of stockholders, scheduled for June 27, 2013. If the Company’s
stockholders approve the reverse stock split and USEC effectuates the
reverse stock split to cure the condition, the condition will be deemed
cured if USEC’s closing share price promptly exceeds $1.00 per share,
and the price remains at or above that level for at least the following
30 trading days.
USEC Inc., a global energy company, is a leading supplier of enriched
uranium fuel for commercial nuclear power plants.
