Uranium Energy Corp Reports Fiscal 2026 Results


Uranium Energy Corp (NYSE American: UEC) today announced results and related information for its fiscal year ended July 31, 2026.

Corporate Highlights

  • Fourth Quarter Production Up 157%, Total Cost per Pound(2) Down 33%: Combined production from Christensen Ranch and Burke Hollow in the fourth quarter totaled 82,744 pounds of precipitated uranium and dried and drummed U3O8, up from 32,195 pounds in the third quarter, at a Total Cash Cost per Pound(2) of $30.01 and a Total Cost per Pound of $36.54.
  • Production Doubled at Christensen Ranch, Total Cost per Pound Down 35%: Fourth quarter production at Christensen Ranch doubled to 65,392 pounds of precipitated uranium and dried and drummed U3O8 at a Total Cash Cost per Pound of $28.38 and a Total Cost per Pound of $35.63, down from $46.69 and $54.61, respectively, in the third quarter.
  • Commenced Production at Burke Hollow, Ramp-Up Underway: In its first full quarter of operation, Burke Hollow produced 17,352 pounds of precipitated uranium and dried and drummed U3O8 at a Total Cash Cost per Pound of $36.13 and a Total Cost per Pound of $39.93. As planned, this initial phase was limited to a small section of the first production area to establish key operating parameters ahead of expansion across the full wellfield.
  • First Full Year of Production at a Total Cash Cost of $34.24 and Total Cost of $39.94 per Pound: Fiscal 2026 production totaled 229,294 pounds of precipitated uranium and dried and drummed U3O8, with 359,260 pounds produced since commissioning through the end of the fiscal year.
  • Growing U.S. Government Demand for Unobligated U.S.-Origin Uranium: In response to a Request for Information from the National Nuclear Security Administration, which outlined a need for 4 million pounds per year of unobligated U.S.-origin uranium with deliveries as soon as 2030, UEC affirmed its capability to fully support that requirement. Adding to that demand, the U.S. Army plans to deploy more than 20 microreactors requiring unobligated U.S.-origin uranium.
  • United States Uranium Refining & Conversion Corp Advances Toward a Class IV Cost Estimate: Working with its engineering partner Fluor Enterprises, Inc., UR&C completed core execution plans, built a combined dedicated 63-member project team, began preparing its U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission license application and progressed site selection. The Class IV cost estimate is expected to be completed by mid-2027.
  • Wellfield Construction Underway at Ludeman, UEC’s Next In-Situ Recovery Mine: Installation of the monitoring, injection and recovery wells in the initial wellfield is underway. Engineering for the satellite ion-exchange plant has progressed with the procurement of long lead-time equipment.
  • Advancing Wellfield Development at Sweetwater, UEC’s Third Hub-and-Spoke: Drilling in Sweetwater North identified mineralization trends that support further delineation and advance the first two production areas.
  • Roughrider Drilling Completed: 36,000 meters of core drilling was completed during the quarter to support resource conversion and the planned pre-feasibility study for the world class Roughrider Project located in the Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan, Canada.

 


Fiscal 2026 Financial Highlights 

  • Peer Leading Realized Sales Price: Sold 400,000 pounds from inventory at a weighted average realized price of $93.13 per pound, which the Company believes to be the highest among publicly traded uranium producers, generating revenue of $37.3 million and gross profit of $16.9 million for fiscal 2026.
  • Robust Balance Sheet: $753 million in liquid assets(1), including cash of $495 million, with no debt.
  • Strategic Inventory Position in a Tightening Market: 1,256,000 pounds of U₃O₈ as of July 31, 2026, valued at $109 million at current market prices(1), excluding 359,260 pounds of precipitated uranium and dried and drummed U3O8 at the Irigaray Central Processing Plant and Hobson CPP.

 

Amir Adnani, President and CEO, stated:

“In fiscal 2026, UEC became a multi-mine uranium producer. Twelve months ago, we were producing from a single mine in Wyoming. Today, we are producing from two mines in two states, are well along the way in building a third at Ludeman, have grown our operating team to more than 250 people and have doubled drilling capacity. We started production at Burke Hollow, the largest greenfield in-situ recovery mine to come online in the United States in over a decade, and expanded wellfield infrastructure at Christensen Ranch. This growth is underpinned by the largest uranium resource base in the country, providing depth and a long duration runway to keep scaling.

Our unhedged sales strategy delivered a weighted average realized price of $93.13 per pound, which we believe is the highest among publicly traded uranium producers. Consistent with our strategy over many quarters, we continue to hold most of our inventory, and that approach is being rewarded as the market tightens. 

Through UR&C, we are building America’s only vertically integrated uranium company, from mining and processing to refining and conversion. The U.S. Government’s growing demand for unobligated U.S.-origin uranium and conversion confirms why we set out to build it: those needs can only be met by U.S. mines, U.S. technology and U.S. conversion.

We enter fiscal 2027 debt-free with an exceptional balance sheet and the ability to fund our ongoing growth. With this unparalleled combination of resource depth, financial strength and talent, UEC has never been better positioned to build on and extend its leadership position in the United States.”

 

Growing U.S. Government Demand for Unobligated U.S.-Origin Uranium and Conversion

The U.S. Department of Energy through the NNSA issued a RFI to ascertain domestic company capabilities to supply unobligated U.S.-origin uranium and conversion services in support of NNSA needs through the 2040s. The RFI outlined NNSA requirements for unobligated U.S.-origin uranium at 4 million pounds of U3O8 / 1,500 metric tonnes of uranium as UF6 per year with deliveries commencing as early as 2030.

UEC’s response to the RFI affirmed that we are positioned to fully support NNSA’s U3O8 requirements as our production in Texas and Wyoming ramps up. Through UEC’s subsidiary, UR&C, we are positioning to provide the necessary conversion services in accordance with NNSA requirements, further demonstrating UEC’s commitment to serve as America’s national champion for the front end of the nuclear fuel cycle.

On August 26, 2026, the Department of the Army announced the selection of five nuclear reactor developers to be awarded up to a combined $2.2 billion to own, construct and operate nuclear microreactors on five military installations. The Army anticipated more than 20 microreactors to be deployed through the Janus Program with all requiring unobligated U.S.-origin uranium and conversion services.

The growing U.S. Government demand for unobligated U.S.-origin uranium and conversion services highlights UEC’s distinct positioning as a leading domestic supplier and the only company pursuing a vertically integrated fuel cycle solution.

 


United States Uranium Refining & Conversion Corp (UR&C)

During fiscal 2026, UR&C advanced its planned uranium conversion facility across technology development, licensing and project execution, working with its engineering partner Fluor. UR&C’s combined dedicated 63-member project team draws on Fluor’s nuclear-focused Mission Solutions business subject matter experts, including specialists in process technology, nuclear and environmental engineering and project delivery. Project mobilization was completed in full compliance with U.S. Department of Energy export control regulations for nuclear technology. UR&C is advancing toward a Class IV cost estimate, which is expected to be completed by mid-2027.

Following receipt of its U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Docket Number earlier this year, UR&C finalized its regulatory engagement strategy and began preparing its license application, supported by Jensen Hughes, a specialist nuclear licensing firm engaged for the project.

UR&C and Fluor expanded collaboration with leading equipment vendors, National Laboratories and specialty subcontractors to accelerate process design and laboratory work, including evaluation of process technology and thermophysical properties. UR&C is also pursuing partnerships with National Laboratories and academic institutions to enhance technical development, drawing on industry expertise and historical operating knowledge.

The goal is to position UR&C’s conversion process as a U.S. technology, eligible for delivering unobligated U.S.-origin UF6 supply for the requirements of the U.S. Government. To that end, to safeguard export-controlled information, UR&C’s project team has implemented a Technology Control Plan and completed comprehensive training.

 


Powder River Basin, Wyoming, Hub-and-Spoke ISR Operations
Hub: Irigaray CPP; Spokes: Christensen Ranch and Ludeman

In the fourth quarter, 65,392 pounds of precipitated uranium and dried and drummed U3O8 were produced at Christensen Ranch at a Total Cash Cost per Pound of $28.38 and a Total Cost per Pound of $35.63. Higher production reduced Total Cost per Pound by 35%, from $54.61 in the prior quarter.

As previously reported, three new header houses in Wellfield 11 began production late in the third fiscal quarter. Four additional header houses were constructed and tested as of the end of the fourth fiscal quarter, bringing the total to five that were awaiting regulatory approval for startup at such time. On September 28, 2026, final regulatory approvals were issued for four of these. Production is expected to commence at these newly approved header houses in the coming weeks.

Currently, three additional header houses are under construction. Header house construction has been bolstered by an increase in drilling capacity, with 17 drill rigs in operation in the Powder River Basin at fiscal year-end, up from 12 in the prior year.

At the Ludeman ISR project in the Powder River Basin, monitor, injection and recovery wells for the first wellfield are under construction and being tested for mechanical integrity.

Engineering for the satellite ion-exchange plant was significantly advanced during the fourth quarter, allowing the Company to procure long lead-time equipment. Civil engineering for the plant pad was completed, and a construction contractor was selected. The powerline location has been established, and surveys are expected to be completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2027.

 


South Texas Hub-and-Spoke ISR Operations
Hub: Hobson CPP; Spoke: Burke Hollow

Operations began at the Burke Hollow ISR mine in April and at the Hobson CPP in May. In its first full quarter of operation, Burke Hollow produced 17,352 pounds of precipitated uranium and dried and drummed U3O8 at a Total Cash Cost per Pound of $36.13 and a Total Cost per Pound of $39.93.

The first shipment of uranium-loaded resin from Burke Hollow reached Hobson in mid-May, and every processing step at the plant, from resin transfer and elution through precipitation, drying and packaging, has now been commissioned.

As planned, production activity in the quarter was limited to a small section of the first production area at Burke Hollow, consisting of 126 injection and recovery wells that were brought online to establish optimal operating parameters, such as lixiviant chemistry, pump sizing and wellfield patterns. These results will guide the next phase of operations as mining in the first production area expands.

The Company had 21 drill rigs in operation in South Texas at fiscal year-end, up from 8 in the prior year.

 


Sweetwater, Wyoming, Hub-and-Spoke Development

At Sweetwater, the FAST-41 and National Environmental Policy Act federal permitting process continued to advance under the leadership of the Bureau of Land Management. Currently, the FAST-41 Permitting Dashboard expects completion of the Environmental Assessment in March 2027 and approval of the Plan of Operations in May 2027. Baseline studies were largely completed in the quarter, with final reports expected to be submitted to BLM in the first quarter of fiscal 2027.

Drilling in the Sweetwater North area identified mineralization trends that support continued delineation. Building on these results, additional drilling is planned for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 to further extend the mineralization identified in the initial program and to advance wellfield design for the first two production areas.

Work continues by the Company and Wood Group to assess the refurbishment requirements for the Sweetwater Mill for both conventional and ISR operations, with focus currently on the installation of ion-exchange and elution systems for ISR operations.

The Company had two drill rigs in operation in the Great Divide Basin at the end of the fiscal year.

 


Roughrider Project, Saskatchewan

As part of the planned PFS at the Roughrider Project, the Company completed its previously announced diamond drilling program, which has expanded to 36,000 meters, with the goal of converting resources into higher categories. This included resource targets throughout the West Zone, East Zone and Far East Zone. Working alongside Tetra Tech Canada Inc., the preparation of the PFS is progressing.

During the quarter, the geotechnical drilling for a future tailings management facility was completed. This included the collection of water samples and the installation of water level monitoring stations.

In August 2026, the Company entered into a Definition Study Agreement with Saskatchewan Power Corporation to advance engineering, EA and community engagement work specifically for the connection of a high-voltage transmission line to the Roughrider Project.
