Revenue
Cameco’s sales contracts with customers contain both fixed and market-related pricing. Fixed-price contracts are typically
based on a term-price indicator at the time the contract is accepted and escalated over the term of the contract. Market-related
contracts are based on either the spot price or long-term price, and the price is quoted at the time of delivery rather than at the
time the contract is accepted. These contracts often include a floor and/or ceiling prices, which are usually escalated over the
term of the contract. Escalation is generally based on a consumer price index. The Company’s contracts contain either one of
these pricing mechanisms or a combination of the two. There is no variable consideration in the contracts and therefore no
revenue is considered constrained at the time of delivery. Cameco expenses the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as
incurred as the amortization period is less than a year.
The following table summarizes Cameco’s sales disaggregated by geographical region and contract type and includes a
reconciliation to the Company’s reportable segments (note 29):

Deferred sales primarily relates to advance consideration received from customers for future uranium and conversion
deliveries as well as revenue related to the storage of uranium and converted uranium held at Cameco facilities.
The revenue
related to storage is recognized over time while the revenue related to future uranium and conversion deliveries is expected to
be recognized between 2023 and 2030.
Cameco recognized a decrease of revenue of $
194,000
 
(2021 - increase of revenue of $
383,000
) during 2022 from
performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods. This is due to the difference between actual pricing
indices and the estimates at the time of invoicing.
Future sales commitments
Cameco’s sales portfolio consists of short and long-term sales commitments. The contracts can be executed well in advance
of a delivery and include both fixed and market-related pricing.
 
The following table summarizes the expected future revenue,
by segment, related to only fixed-price contracts with remaining future deliveries as follows:

The sales contracts are denominated largely in US dollars and converted from US to Canadian dollars at a rate of $
1.30
.
The amounts in the table represent the consideration the Company will be entitled to receive when it satisfies the remaining
performance obligations in the contracts. The amounts include assumptions about volumes for contracts that have volume
flexibility. Cameco’s total revenue that will be earned will also include revenue from contracts with market-related pricing. The
Company has elected to exclude these amounts from the table as the transaction price will not be known until the time of
delivery. Contracts with an original duration of one year or less have been included in the table.
