| Metric | Latest | YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength. | QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes. |
|---|---|---|---|
| RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three). | $65.9M | -15.6% | -29.9% |
| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $-85.6M | -79.3% | -207.8% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +7.7% | -64.5% | +66.8% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | -153.4% | -222.5% | -200.0% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | -129.9% | -112.4% | -339.3% |
| Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock. | $-108.7M | -32.1% | -996.9% |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | -165.0% | -56.5% | -1465.7% |
| Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe. | 99.6% | +23980.6% | -8.1% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 30.69x | +690.6% | +1.4% |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $1.4B | +130.7% | +5.1% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |

Operator: Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and thank you all for joining us for this Energy Fuels Inc. Q1 2026 Conference Call. As a reminder, all participants will have an opportunity to ask questions. As a reminder, today's session is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to turn the floor over to President and CEO, Ross R. Bhappu. Welcome, sir. Ross R. Bhappu: Thank you, Jim. I appreciate the intro. And thank you, everybody, for participating today. I want to start by thanking Mark S. Chalmers. Mark recently retired from Energy Fuels Inc. after almost ten years with the firm. Mark has done a fabulous job putting together a great group of assets and a great team, and as I look forward to my new tenure here as the CEO of the company, I am thrilled to be taking the helm and moving the company into the next generation. We have a lot of work ahead of us, and as I start my tenure in the company, I am focused on a few things. One is executing on our business strategy. It is ensuring that we have the right team in place and it is ensuring that we all operate safely within this organization. That is a key area of responsibility. The other heavy focus of mine is being a good neighbor in the communities where we operate. We want to operate at very high environmental standards and be a truly good partner wherever we go. My focus as I look forward is to position the company for long-term growth and build stability and shareholder value. With that, I would like to turn our attention to the next slide, which is our forward-looking notice and forward-looking statements. We will be making—I will be making—forward-looking statements today. These statements reflect our current expectations and assumptions and certainly involve some uncertainties. I would refer you to our 10-Q filing, our latest 10-K, and other SEC and SEDAR+ filings for the risk factors. Looking at our next page, the first-quarter highlights: we had a fantastic first quarter by every measure, and I am excited to tell you about some of these accomplishments. First, from an operational perspective, we mined 425 thousand pounds of uranium and we produced nearly 800 thousand pounds in our mill. We ended the quarter with 2.25 million pounds in our inventory, and we released a very positive Varamata feasibility study with a $1.8 billion NPV, and that includes over $500 million per year of expected EBITDA. When you think about that and put that into perspective, that takes Energy Fuels Inc. to a whole new level. We also completed our White Mesa Mill Phase 2 bankable feasibility study, and that came in with a fantastic, lower-than-expected capital cost at $410 million. We expect $311 million of annual EBITDA when that facility is up and running on a standalone basis. We also announced the ASM (Australian Strategic Materials) acquisition, which I am going to talk about later. It really moves us into a new league and gives us the ability to produce metals and alloys, and we will talk about that later. …

UUUU advances its rare earth supply chain as terbium oxide wins commercial magnet approval.

With today's announcement of terbium oxide qualification, Energy Fuels is one step closer to commercially producing the full portfolio of "light" and "heavy" rare earth oxides for permanent magnets. DENVER, Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) (ASX: EF2), a leading U.S. producer of rare earth elements (REE), uranium, and other critical materials, today announced that its terbium (Tb) oxide has successfully passed all qualifications for use by one of the world's largest manufacturers of rare earth permanent magnets outside China.

Bank of America Corp DE cut its position in Energy Fuels Inc (NYSEAMERICAN:UUUU) by 52.5% in the first quarter, according to the company in its most recent disclosure with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The institutional investor owned 1,983,914 shares of the company's stock after selling 2,193,710 shares during the period.

Wall Street flipped the script Friday with a wave of surprise upgrades and downgrades hitting names like Wayfair, Roku, and Fox Corporation, while cooler inflation data reshuffled bets across stocks, bonds, oil, and crypto all at once.

Energy Fuels is advancing a mine-to-magnet rare earth strategy with its ASM deal, VAC acquisition plans and White Mesa expansion.
