“Our disciplined technique aligns our advertising, operational, and financially targeted selections. From a advertising perspective, now we have contracts in each our uranium and gasoline companies segments which have deliveries spanning greater than a decade. Nevertheless, in a market the place we’re seeing sustained, constructive momentum for nuclear vitality, we’re persevering with to be selective in committing our unencumbered, tier-one, in-ground uranium stock and UF 6 conversion capability below long-term contracts, to seize higher upside for a few years to return.
“The advertising aspect of our technique guides our operational selections to make sure our provide aligns with our commitments, so we stability our manufacturing charges, stock place, long-term purchases, product loans, and near-term market purchases with a view to ship full-cycle worth. This previous quarter was a great instance of that prudent administration of our provide sources, with our 2024 uranium manufacturing outlook rising from 22.4 million kilos (our share) of uranium, to as much as 23.1 million kilos (our share) of uranium, because of robust manufacturing from McArthur River/Key Lake. The upper manufacturing stage for 2024 is absolutely dedicated inside our contract portfolio and permits us to rebalance our different provide sources, together with a partial offset of the rise in Saskatchewan by decrease manufacturing and purchases from JV Inkai, the place we now count on manufacturing of seven.7 million kilos (100% foundation) of uranium, down about 600,000 kilos of uranium from final yr as a result of ongoing acid provide challenges in Kazakhstan.
“The advertising and operational selections set the stage for the monetary aspect of our technique, below which we count on robust money circulate technology to underpin our conservative capital allocation priorities. These priorities embrace a deal with debt administration, as is obvious with the prudent refinancing actions now we have undertaken in 2024, and the prepayment of a big portion of the time period mortgage we utilized to buy Westinghouse.
“We’re persevering with to see a constructive shift in authorities, business and public assist for nuclear vitality, additional supported by current bulletins between utilities, reactor builders, and the commercial vitality customers, who are actually extending monetary assist to make sure future entry to wash, dependable and scalable nuclear energy. Cameco, with our belongings and investments throughout the gasoline and reactor life cycles, is uniquely positioned to learn from these tailwinds as a accountable, industrial provider with a number of long-lived, tier-one belongings in dependable jurisdictions, confirmed working expertise, and a powerful stability sheet to execute our technique. In a market the place we’re seeing sustained, constructive momentum for nuclear vitality, we imagine our disciplined technique will enable us to realize our imaginative and prescient of ‘energizing a clean-air world’ in a fashion that displays our values, together with a dedication to handle the dangers and alternatives that we imagine will make our enterprise sustainable over the long run.”
- Dividend: Our board of administrators declared a 2024 annual dividend of $0.16 per widespread share, payable on December 13, 2024, to shareholders of report on November 27, 2024. The choice to declare an annual dividend is reviewed often by our board in context of our money circulate, monetary place, technique and different related components, together with acceptable alignment with the cyclical nature of our earnings. To acknowledge the return to our tier-one manufacturing price, and in keeping with the ideas of our capital allocation framework, now we have really helpful to our board of administrators a dividend progress plan for consideration. Primarily based on our plan, we count on an annual improve of at the least $0.04 per widespread share over the fiscal intervals 2024 by 2026, to realize a doubling of the 2023 dividend from $0.12 per widespread share, to $0.24 per widespread share. In 2022, the board elevated the dividend by 50% to mirror the anticipated enchancment in our monetary efficiency as we started the transition to our tier-one run price.
- Monetary outcomes impacted by buy accounting: Third quarter outcomes mirror regular quarterly variations in gross sales volumes, in addition to delayed gross sales for Joint Enterprise Inkai (JV Inkai) resulting from continued transportation challenges, and the continued affect of buy accounting for Westinghouse. Internet earnings had been $7 million, adjusted internet losses had been $3 million, and adjusted EBITDA was $308 million. Throughout the first 9 months of the yr, internet earnings of $36 million and adjusted internet earnings of $115 million had been decrease, whereas adjusted EBITDA of $1.0 billion was greater than in 2023. Adjusted internet earnings and adjusted EBITDA are non-IFRS measures, see under.
- Robust 2024 monetary outlook: We proceed to count on robust money circulate technology. Because of the continued strengthening of the US greenback, now we have up to date our alternate price assumption to mirror the common price year-to-date in 2024 of $1.00 (US) for $1.35 (Cdn) (beforehand $1.00 (US) for $1.30 (Cdn)). In consequence, our anticipated uranium common realized value elevated to $77.80 per pound (beforehand $74.70 per pound), driving up a number of monetary outlook metrics, together with estimated consolidated income for the yr, which is now anticipated to be about $3.01 billion to $3.16 billion (beforehand $2.85 billion to $3.0 billion), and our outlook for our share of Westinghouse’s 2024 adjusted EBITDA, which is now anticipated to be between $460 million and $530 million (beforehand $445 million to $510 million). See Outlook for 2024 in our third quarter MD&A for extra info. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Westinghouse is a non-IFRS measure, see under.
- Robust uranium section efficiency: In our uranium section, manufacturing volumes for the third quarter and for the primary 9 months of the yr had been robust. Increased revenues and gross revenue in comparison with final yr had been primarily pushed by greater gross sales quantity and better Canadian greenback common realized value. Deliveries of seven.3 million kilos throughout the quarter had been greater than the identical interval in 2023, whereas deliveries of 20.8 million kilos year-to-date had been barely decrease than the identical interval final yr resulting from regular quarterly variations, though it remained in keeping with the supply sample disclosed in our annual MD&A. Our annual expectation for uranium deliveries of between 32 million and 34 million kilos stays unchanged. See Uranium in our third quarter MD&A for extra info.
- Elevated 2024 uranium manufacturing outlook: We up to date our 2024 manufacturing outlook to be as much as 37.0 million kilos (as much as 23.1 million kilos our share) of uranium, to advance our technique consistent with the constructive market momentum and to satisfy our commitments below our long-term contracts. The upper deliberate annual manufacturing stage is as a result of constant run price on the Key Lake mill, which we now count on to provide 19 million kilos (100% foundation) of uranium in 2024 (beforehand 18 million kilos of uranium), partially offset by decrease anticipated manufacturing and purchases from JV Inkai. Anticipated market and dedicated purchases for 2024 have been realigned to account for the elevated uncertainty on the timing of receipt of our remaining share of 2024 manufacturing from JV Inkai. We’ve got both taken supply of, or have commitments for, the vast majority of our anticipated 2024 market purchases, however could search for extra alternatives so as to add to our stock. See Outlook for 2024 in our third quarter MD&A for extra info.
- Inkai manufacturing decrease than beforehand anticipated: At JV Inkai, manufacturing for the third quarter was just like final yr, however decrease for the primary 9 months of this yr in comparison with the identical interval in 2023, resulting from variations within the annual mine plan, a shift within the acidification schedule for brand spanking new wellfields, and unstable acid provide all year long. Most annual anticipated manufacturing is now estimated to be roughly 7.7 million kilos (100% foundation) of uranium, because the earlier goal of 8.3 million kilos of uranium was contingent upon receipt of ample volumes of sulfuric acid in accordance with a particular schedule and is now deemed unachievable. The primary cargo containing roughly 2.3 million kilos of our share of Inkai’s 2024 manufacturing has arrived on the Canadian port and is predicted to reach on the Blind River refinery earlier than the top of 2024. The timing for the cargo of our remaining share of 2024 manufacturing is unsure, and our allocation of this yr’s deliberate manufacturing from JV Inkai stays below dialogue. The timing of deliveries from JV Inkai impacts our share of earnings from equity-accounted investee and the timing of receipt of our share of dividends. An up to date NI 43-101 technical report for the Inkai mine is being finalized and is predicted to be filed below Cameco’s profile on SEDAR+ inside 45 days of this launch. Modifications to the mineral reserves, manufacturing profile, prices, sensitivities, environmental and regulatory issues, and different scientific and technical info can be up to date within the related sections of the report.
- Stable adjusted EBITDA from Westinghouse: Whereas Westinghouse reported a internet lack of $57 million (our share), for the third quarter in comparison with $47 million (our share) within the second quarter, adjusted EBITDA was $122 million, in comparison with $121 million within the second quarter. Attributable to regular variability within the timing of its buyer necessities, and supply and outage schedules, we count on to see stronger efficiency from the Westinghouse section within the fourth quarter, with greater anticipated money flows. Buy accounting, which required the revaluation of Westinghouse’s stock and different belongings on the time of acquisition, and the expensing of sure non-operating acquisition-related transition prices continues to affect quarterly earnings and our 2024 earnings outlook. See Outlook for 2024 and Our earnings from Westinghouse in our third quarter MD&A for extra info.
- Selective long-term contracting, sustaining publicity to greater costs: As of September 30, 2024, we had commitments requiring supply of a median of about 29 million kilos per yr from 2024 by 2028. We even have contracts in our uranium and gasoline companies segments that span greater than a decade, and in our uranium section, a lot of these contracts profit from market-related pricing mechanisms. As well as, now we have a big and rising pipeline of enterprise below dialogue each on- and off-market, which we count on will assist additional construct our long-term contract portfolio.
- Sustaining monetary self-discipline and balanced liquidity to execute on technique:
- Robust stability sheet: As of September 30, 2024, we had $197 million in money and money equivalents and $1.3 billion in whole debt, demonstrating our capacity to take care of liquidity whereas prioritizing compensation of our time period mortgage debt. As well as, now we have a $1.0 billion undrawn credit score facility, which matures October 1, 2028. We proceed to count on robust money circulate technology in 2024.
- Centered debt discount : Due to our risk-managed monetary self-discipline, and powerful money place, within the third quarter we continued to prioritize the discount of the floating-rate time period mortgage used to finance the Westinghouse acquisition, repaying one other $100 million (US) of the remaining $300 million (US) principal excellent. We plan to proceed to prioritize compensation of the remaining $200 million (US) excellent principal on the time period mortgage whereas balancing our liquidity and money place.
- Sustaining monetary flexibility : We plan to file a brand new base shelf prospectus within the fourth quarter as the present prospectus expired in October.
- Modifications to the chief staff: Efficient October 7, 2024, David Doerksen was appointed senior vice-president and chief advertising officer, overseeing the worldwide advertising staff within the improvement and execution of Cameco’s advertising technique, and Lisa Aitken was appointed vice-president, advertising.

Attributable to fairness accounting, our share of manufacturing from JV Inkai is proven as a purchase order on the time of supply. These purchases will fluctuate throughout the quarters and timing of purchases is not going to match manufacturing. There have been no purchases throughout the quarter. Within the first 9 months of 2024, we bought 1.2 million kilos at a purchase order value per pound of $128.42 ($95.63 (US)).

Non-IFRS measures
The non-IFRS measures referenced on this doc are supplemental measures, that are used as indicators of our monetary efficiency. Administration believes that these non-IFRS measures present helpful supplemental info to buyers, securities analysts, lenders and different events in assessing our operational efficiency and our capacity to generate money flows to satisfy our money necessities. These measures will not be acknowledged measures below IFRS, should not have standardized meanings, and are due to this fact might not be corresponding to equally titled measures introduced by different corporations. Accordingly, these measures shouldn’t be thought-about in isolation or as an alternative choice to the monetary info reported below IFRS. We’re not in a position to reconcile our forward-looking non-IFRS steerage as a result of we can’t predict the timing and quantities of discrete objects, which may considerably affect our IFRS outcomes.
The next are the non-IFRS measures used on this doc.
ADJUSTED NET EARNINGS
Adjusted internet earnings is our internet earnings attributable to fairness holders, adjusted for non-operating or non-cash objects comparable to positive factors and losses on derivatives and changes to reclamation provisions flowing by different working bills, that we imagine don’t mirror the underlying monetary efficiency for the reporting interval. Different objects may be adjusted every so often. We modify this measure for sure of the objects that our equity-accounted investees make in arriving at different non-IFRS measures. Adjusted internet earnings is without doubt one of the targets that we measure to type the premise for a portion of annual worker and government compensation (see Measuring our outcomes in our 2023 annual MD&A).
In calculating ANE we modify for derivatives. We don’t use hedge accounting below IFRS and, due to this fact, we’re required to report positive factors and losses on all hedging exercise, each for contracts that shut within the interval and people who stay excellent on the finish of the interval. For the contracts that stay excellent, we should deal with them as if they had been settled on the finish of the reporting interval (mark-to-market). Nevertheless, we don’t imagine the positive factors and losses that we’re required to report below IFRS appropriately mirror the intent of our hedging actions, so we make changes in calculating our ANE to higher mirror the affect of our hedging program within the relevant reporting interval. See Overseas alternate in our 2023 annual MD&A for extra info.
We additionally modify for modifications to our reclamation provisions that circulate immediately by earnings. Each quarter we’re required to replace the reclamation provisions for all operations primarily based on new money circulate estimates, low cost and inflation charges. This usually leads to an adjustment to an asset retirement obligation asset along with the supply stability. When the belongings of an operation have been written off resulting from an impairment, as is the case with our Rabbit Lake and US ISR operations, the adjustment is recorded on to the assertion of earnings as “different working expense (earnings)”. See be aware 10 of our interim monetary statements for extra info. This quantity has been excluded from our ANE measure.
Because of the change in possession of Westinghouse when it was acquired by Cameco and Brookfield, Westinghouse’s inventories on the acquisition date had been revalued primarily based available on the market value at that date. As these portions are offered, Westinghouse’s price of services offered mirror these market values, no matter their historic prices. Our share of those prices is included in earnings from equity-accounted investees and recorded in price of services offered within the investee info (see be aware 7 to the monetary statements). Since this expense is non-cash, outdoors of the traditional course of enterprise and solely occurred as a result of change in possession, now we have excluded our share from our ANE measure.
Westinghouse has additionally expensed some non-operating acquisition-related transition prices that the buying events agreed to pay for, which resulted in a discount within the buy value paid. Our share of those prices is included in earnings from equity-accounted investees and recorded in different bills within the investee info (see be aware 7 to the monetary statements). Since this expense is outdoors of the traditional course of enterprise and solely occurred as a result of change in possession, now we have excluded our share from our ANE measure.
To facilitate a greater understanding of those measures, the desk under reconciles adjusted internet earnings with our internet earnings for the third quarter and first 9 months of 2024 and compares it to the identical intervals in 2023.
