DALLAS, March 9, 2026 /CNW/ - enCore Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: EU) (TSXV: EU) (the "Company" or "enCore"), America's Clean Energy CompanyTM, announced today its financial and operational results for the year ended December 31, 2025.
"Our year end results underscore the strength of enCore's operational performance," said Rob Willette, Chief Executive Officer of enCore. "Production from our South Texas operations continued to trend upward, with improvements in wellfield efficiency driving strong extraction results. With nearly 700,000 pounds extracted in 2025, and total liquidity of $96 million at year end, including marketable securities, our team continues to execute. Combined with our inclusion of the Dewey-Burdock Project in the federal FAST-41 program, we're solidifying enCore's position as a leading domestic uranium producer supporting America's clean energy future."
Highlights for year ended December 31, 2025 include:
- Net loss per share $(0.30) versus $(0.34) for the year ended December 31, 2024;
- Sales (delivery) into contracts of approximately 655,000 pounds of uranium ("U3O8") at a price of $65.89 and a weighted average cost of $51.09;
- U3O8 extraction of 699,807 pounds, an increase of 242% from the year ended December 31, 2024;
- Closing balance of 132,013 pounds of U3O8 in inventory at a cost of $37.77 per pound;
- Closing cash and equivalent balance of $52 million with total liquidity of $96 million.
February Warrant Exercises
During February 2026, holders of previously issued warrants exercised approximately 6.6 million warrants, providing approximately $18.1 million cash to the Company. These proceeds further strengthen enCore's financial position and support ongoing development and construction activities across its portfolio of U.S. in-situ recovery ("ISR") uranium projects. The warrant exercise period has closed, and no further warrants are outstanding.
The Company intends to utilize the proceeds to support project development initiatives, including infrastructure and wellfield development in South Texas and continued advancement of permitting and construction planning at its pipeline of projects.
Upper Spring Creek Satellite Facility Update
Construction activities associated with the Upper Spring Creek Satellite Facility, located within enCore's South Texas ISR production hub, continue to advance. Certain components of the project timeline have been impacted by the timing of regulatory approvals associated with permitting from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality ("TCEQ").
The Company remains actively engaged with TCEQ to finalize the remaining permitting requirements. While regulatory review timelines have extended beyond initial expectations, enCore expects to complete construction activities and commence operation once the remaining approvals are received.
In anticipation of permitting delays from TCEQ, the Company contracted in late 2025 additional inventory at favorable terms to fully satisfy 2026 customer delivery obligations.
Upper Spring Creek is designed to operate as a satellite facility within the Company's South Texas production network, providing additional operational flexibility and supporting future uranium production growth.
Dewey Burdock Project Permitting and Development Timeline
At the Company's Dewey Burdock Project in South Dakota, permitting activities and development planning continue to progress. enCore remains committed to advancing the project through the remaining regulatory steps required prior to construction and operations.
The Company continues to work with federal and state regulators to complete the necessary approvals for the project. Based on the current status of the permitting process and development planning, enCore expects construction activities to commence within the next 18 months, following completion of the remaining regulatory milestones.
Once developed, Dewey Burdock is expected to become a significant contributor to domestic uranium production and an important component of enCore's long-term production growth strategy.
CEO Commentary
"enCore continues to make steady progress across our portfolio of U.S. uranium projects as we work to expand domestic production capacity," said Rob Willette, Chief Executive Officer of enCore.
"The recent warrant exercises reflect ongoing support from our shareholders and further strengthen our balance sheet as we advance key development projects. In South Texas, our team continues to progress construction planning at Upper Spring Creek while working closely with the TCEQ through the final stages of the permitting process, which remains the final roadblock to full production. At Dewey Burdock, we remain focused on advancing the project through the final regulatory milestones so that it can become an important future source of domestic uranium supply."
Mr. Willette added, "As the United States continues to recognize the importance of rebuilding a secure domestic nuclear fuel supply chain, enCore believes its portfolio of ISR uranium projects positions the Company to play a meaningful role in helping meet future U.S. clean energy growth."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. A "non-GAAP financial measure" is defined as a numerical measure of a company's financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of the Company. The non-GAAP financial measures used within this press release are total cost of extracted pounds, uranium cost per extracted pound, total cost of extracted inventory and uranium cost per extracted pound in inventory. Total cost of extracted pounds is the cost of sales less the cost of sales of purchased goods, which includes the aggregate purchase price of uranium sourced from purchased uranium. Uranium cost per extracted pound is the total cost of extracted pounds divided by the pounds of uranium extracted during the period. Total cost of extracted inventory is inventory less purchased uranium inventories. Uranium cost per pound of extracted inventory is the total cost of extracted inventory divided by pounds of extracted inventory. We consider the total cost of extracted pounds, uranium cost per extracted pound total cost of extracted inventory and uranium cost per pound of extracted inventory, including allocations of cash and non-cash costs, in evaluating the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the Company's extraction operations and overall cost structure. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported results under U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
