Energy Fuels Inc. (TSX:EFR), a U.S.-based producer of uranium and rare earth elements, reported a net loss of USD 21.81 million or USD 0.10 per share for Q2 2025, an improvement from the USD 26.32 million loss in the prior quarter. Despite limited uranium sales during the period, the company boosted its balance sheet and continued to build inventory across its uranium and rare earth product lines.

As of quarter-end, the company held USD 253.2 million in working capital, including USD 71.5 million in cash and USD 126.4 million in marketable securities. Inventory carried on the balance sheet was valued at USD 43 million but held a market value of approximately USD 56.25 million based on current commodity prices.

Energy Fuels produced 180,000 pounds of finished U3O8 during the quarter and mined an additional 665,000 pounds from its Pinyon Plain and La Sal operations. Sales were limited to 50,000 pounds at a price of USD 77.00 per pound, generating gross proceeds of USD 3.85 million and a 31% margin. The company plans to process up to 670,000 pounds of uranium in Q4 2025, with total 2025 production expected to reach approximately 1 million pounds.

Inventory at the end of the quarter included 1,875,000 pounds of U3O8 across finished, in-process, and raw ore forms. The company expects to end 2025 with 1,985,000 to 2,585,000 pounds in inventory, with up to 1.225 million pounds as finished product. Contracted uranium deliveries for 2025 have increased to 350,000 pounds, revised from earlier guidance of 220,000 pounds.

On the rare earth side, Energy Fuels advanced its processing capabilities and reported significant market pricing improvements. Chinese neodymium-praseodymium prices rose 19.5% to USD 73.93/kg over the past month. European spot prices for dysprosium and terbium reached USD 800/kg and USD 3,625/kg, exceeding Chinese benchmarks by 348% and 367%, respectively.

The company received final regulatory approval for the Donald Project in Victoria, Australia, enabling progress toward construction. Pilot-scale production of dysprosium oxide is underway at the White Mesa Mill in Utah, with commercial-scale output of heavy rare earth oxides targeted as early as Q4 2026, depending on pilot results and investment decisions.
