FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part I, Item 2, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In this context, forward-looking statements mean statements related to future events,
may address our expected future business and financial performance, and often contain words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “will”, “should”, “could”, “would” or “may” and other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. For Centrus Energy Corp., particular risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual future results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements include but are not limited to the following, which may be amplified by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic: risks related to our significant long-term liabilities, including material unfunded defined benefit pension plan obligations and postretirement health and life benefit obligations; risks relating to our 8.25% notes (the “8.25% Notes”) maturing in February 2027 and our Series B Senior Preferred Stock; risks related to the use of our net operating loss (“NOLs”) carryforwards and net unrealized built-in losses (“NUBILs”) to offset future taxable income and the use of the Rights Agreement (as defined herein) to prevent an “ownership change” as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and our ability to generate taxable income to utilize all or a portion of the NOLs and NUBILs prior to the expiration thereof; risks related to the limited trading markets in our securities; risks related to our ability to maintain the listing of our Class A Common Stock on the NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE American”); risks related to decisions made by our Class B stockholders and our Series B Senior Preferred stockholders regarding their investment in the Company based upon factors that are unrelated to the Company’s performance; risks related to the Company’s capital concentration; risks related to natural and other disasters, including the continued impact of the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan on the nuclear industry and on our business, results of operations and prospects; the impact and potential extended duration of the current supply/demand imbalance in the market for low-enriched uranium (“LEU”); our dependence on others for deliveries of LEU including deliveries from the Russian government-owned entity TENEX, Joint-Stock Company (“TENEX”), under a commercial supply agreement with TENEX and deliveries under a long-term supply agreement with Orano Cycle (“Orano”); risks related to existing or new trade barriers and contract terms that limit our ability to deliver LEU to customers; risks related to actions, including government reviews, that may be taken by the United States government, the Russian government or other governments that could affect our ability to perform under our contract obligations or the ability of our sources of supply to perform under their contract obligations to us, including the imposition of sanctions, restrictions or other requirements, and risks relating to the potential expiration of the 1992 Russian Suspension Agreement (“RSA”) and/or a renewal of the RSA on
2

terms not favorable to us or legislation imposing new or increased limits on imports of Russian LEU; risks related to our ability to sell the LEU we procure pursuant to our purchase obligations under our supply agreements; risks relating to our sales order book, including uncertainty concerning customer actions under current contracts and in future contracting due to market conditions and lack of current production capability; risks related to financial difficulties experienced by customers, including possible bankruptcies, insolvencies or any other inability to pay for our products or services or delays in making timely payment; pricing trends and demand in the uranium and enrichment markets and their impact on our profitability; movement and timing of customer orders; risks related to the value of our intangible assets related to the sales order book and customer relationships; risks associated with our reliance on third-party suppliers to provide essential products and services to us; the impact of government regulation including by the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission; uncertainty regarding our ability to commercially deploy competitive enrichment technology; risks and uncertainties regarding funding for deployment of the American Centrifuge technology and our ability to perform and absorb costs under our agreement with DOE to demonstrate the capability to produce high assay low enriched uranium (“HALEU”) and our ability to obtain and/or perform under other agreements; risks relating to whether or when government or commercial demand for HALEU will materialize; the potential for further demobilization or termination of our American Centrifuge work; risks related to our ability to perform and receive timely payment under agreements with DOE or other government agencies, including risk and uncertainties related to the ongoing funding of the government and potential audits; the competitive bidding process associated with obtaining a federal contract; risks related to our ability to perform fixed-price and cost-share contracts, including the risk that costs could be higher than expected; risks that we will be unable to obtain new business opportunities or achieve market acceptance of our products and services or that products or services provided by others will render our products or services obsolete or noncompetitive; risks that we will not be able to timely complete the work that we are obligated to perform; failures or security breaches of our information technology systems; risks related to pandemics and other health crises, such as the global COVID-19 pandemic; potential strategic transactions, which could be difficult to implement, disrupt our business or change our business profile significantly; the outcome of legal proceedings and other contingencies (including lawsuits and government investigations or audits); the competitive environment for our products and services; changes in the nuclear energy industry; the impact of financial market conditions on our business, liquidity, prospects, pension assets and insurance facilities; the risks of revenue and operating results fluctuating significantly from quarter to quarter, and in some cases, year to year; and other risks and uncertainties discussed in this and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including under Part 1. Item1A - “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
These factors may not constitute all factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in any forward-looking statement. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should be not be relied upon as a predictor of actual results. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made in this report and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business. We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except as required by law.

CENTRUS ENERGY CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Centrus Energy Corp. (“Centrus” or the “Company”), which include the accounts of the Company, its principal subsidiary, United States Enrichment Corporation, and its other subsidiaries, as of June 30, 2020, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial results for the interim period. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. Certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s components of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are insignificant.
Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
New Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires estimating all expected credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and there was no material impact.
Accounting Standards Effective in Future Periods
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20), which modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement plans. ASU 2018-14 is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The standard is to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that the provisions of ASU 2018-14 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies of the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

2. REVENUE AND CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
Disaggregation of Revenue
The following table presents revenue from separative work units (“SWU”) and uranium sales disaggregated by geographical region based on the billing addresses of customers (in millions):

| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
| 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2020 |  | 2019
United States | $ | 43.1 |  |  | $ | 2.6 |  |  | $ | 50.4 |  |  | $ | 37.7 |
Foreign | 20.3 |  |  | — |  |  | 43.7 |  |  | — |
Revenue - SWU and uranium | $ | 63.4 |  |  | $ | 2.6 |  |  | $ | 94.1 |  |  | $ | 37.7 |

Refer to Note 13, Segment Information, for disaggregation of revenue by segment. Disaggregation by end-market is provided in Note 13 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations. SWU sales are made primarily to electric utility customers and uranium sales are primarily made to other nuclear fuel related companies. Technical solutions revenue resulted primarily from services provided to the government and its contractors. SWU and uranium revenue is recognized at point of sale and technical solutions revenue is generally recognized over time.
SWU revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 includes $32.4 million collected from a customer in settlement of a supply contract rejected in bankruptcy court. Refer to Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies - Legal Matters, for details.

LEU Segment
The SWU component of LEU is typically bought and sold under contracts with deliveries over several years. The Company’s agreements for natural uranium sales are generally shorter-term, fixed-commitment contracts. The Company’s order book of sales under contract in the low-enriched uranium (“LEU”) segment (“order book”) extends to 2030. As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the order book was $1.0 billion. The order book represents the estimated aggregate dollar amount of revenue for future SWU and uranium deliveries under contract and includes $0.3 billion of Deferred Revenue and Advances from Customers. Refer to Contract Liabilities table above.
Most of the Company’s enrichment contracts provide for fixed purchases of SWU during a given year. T he Company’s order book is partially based on customers’ estimates of the timing and size of their fuel requirements and other assumptions that are subject to change. For example, depending on the terms of specific contracts, the customer may be able to increase or decrease the quantity delivered within an agreed range. T he Company’s order book estimate is also based on the Company’s estimates of selling prices, which may be subject to change. For example, depending on the terms of specific contracts, prices may be adjusted based on escalation using a general inflation index, published SWU price indicators prevailing at the time of delivery, and other factors, all of which are variable. T he Company uses external composite forecasts of future market prices and inflation rates in its pricing estimates.
Under the terms of certain contracts with customers in the LEU segment, the Company will accept payment in the form of uranium. Revenue from the sale of SWU under such contracts is recognized at the time LEU is delivered and is based on the fair value of the uranium at contract inception, or as the quantity of uranium is finalized, if variable. In the first quarter of 2020, SWU revenue of $23.4 million was recognized under such contracts based on the fair market value of uranium acquired in exchange for SWU delivered. Uranium received from customers as advance payments for the future sales of SWU totaled $44.4 million as of June 30, 2020, including uranium valued at $15.0 million received in the second quarter of 2020. The advance payments are included in Advances from Customers, Noncurrent, based on the anticipated SWU sales period.
In the first quarter of 2020, the Company borrowed SWU inventory valued at $1.7 million from a customer and recorded the SWU and the related liability using an average purchase price over the borrowing period. The cumulative liability to the customer of $10.8 million for borrowed inventory is included in Other Liabilities, which is included in noncurrent liabilities.
Technical Solutions Segment
Revenue for the technical solutions segment, representing the Company’s technical, manufacturing, engineering, procurement, construction and operations services offered to public and private sector customers, is recognized over the contractual period as services are rendered.
On October 31, 2019, the Company signed a cost-share contract with the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) to deploy a cascade of centrifuges to demonstrate production of high-assay, low-enriched uranium (“HALEU”) for advanced reactors (“the HALEU Contract”). HALEU is a component of an advanced nuclear reactor fuel that is not commercially available today and may be required for a number of advanced reactor and fuel designs currently under development in both the commercial and government sectors. The three-year program has been under way
10

since May 31, 2019, when the Company and DOE signed a preliminary letter agreement that allowed work to begin while the full contract was being finalized.
Under the HALEU Contract, DOE agreed to reimburse the Company for 80% of its costs incurred in performing the contract, up to a maximum of $115 million. The Company’s cost share is the corresponding 20% and any costs incurred above these amounts. Costs under the HALEU Contract include program costs, including direct labor and materials and associated indirect costs that are classified as Cost of Sales, and an allocation of corporate costs supporting the program that are classified as Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Services to be provided over the three-year contract include constructing and assembling centrifuge machines and related infrastructure in a cascade formation and production of a small quantity of HALEU. When estimates of remaining program costs to be incurred for such an integrated, construction-type contract exceed estimates of total revenue to be earned, a provision for the remaining loss on the contract is recorded to Cost of Sales in the period the loss is determined. The Company’s corporate costs supporting the program are recognized as expense as incurred over the duration of the contract term. As of December 31, 2019, the portion of the Company’s anticipated cost share under the HALEU Contract representing the Company’s share of remaining projected program costs was recognized in Cost of Sales as an accrued loss of $18.3 million. The accrued loss on the contract is being adjusted over the remaining contract term based on actual results and remaining program cost projections. As of June 30, 2020, the accrued contract loss balance was $13.0 million, consisting of $9.1 million included in Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities and $3.9 million included in Other Long-Term Liabilities. Cost of sales in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 benefited by $3.0 million and $5.3 million, respectively, for previously accrued contract losses attributable to work performed in the six months ended June 30, 2020.
The HALEU Contract is incrementally funded and DOE is currently obligated for costs up to approximately $65.1 million of the $115 million. The Company has received aggregate cash payments of $30.2 million through June 30, 2020.
Centrus and DOE have yet to fully settle the Company’s claims for reimbursements for certain pension and postretirement benefits costs related to past contract work performed for DOE unrelated to the HALEU Contract. There is the potential for additional income to be recognized for this work pending the outcome of legal proceedings related to the Company’s claims for payment and the potential release of previously established valuation allowances on receivables. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting following the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy on September 30, 2014, the receivables related to the Company’s claims for payment are carried at fair value as of September 30, 2014, which is net of the valuation allowances. Refer to Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies -- Legal Matters.
3. SPECIAL CHARGES (CREDITS)
Special charges (credits) in the six months ended June 30, 2020, consisted of income of $0.1 million for the reversal of accrued termination benefits related to unvested employee departures. Special charges (credits) in the six months ended June 30, 2019 consisted of income of $2.9 million for the reversal of accrued termination benefits for employees who were retained for the HALEU program. A summary of termination benefit activity an d the accrued liability follows (in millions):

|  | Liability December 31, 2019 |  | Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 |  | Liability June 30, 2020

4. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH
The following table summarizes the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheet to amounts on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows (in millions):

| June 30, 2020 |  | December 31, 2019
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 119.3 |  |  | $ | 130.7 |
Deposits for financial assurance - current | 0.2 |  |  | 0.2 |
Deposits for financial assurance - noncurrent | 5.7 |  |  | 5.7 |
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | 125.2 |  |  | $ | 136.6 |

The Company has provided financial assurance to states in which it was previously self-insured for workers’ compensation in accordance with each state’s requirements in the form of a surety bond or deposit that is fully cash collateralized by Centrus. As each state determines that the likelihood of further workers’ compensation obligations related to the period of self-insurance is reduced, the surety bond or deposit is subject to reduction and/or cancellation and the Company would receive the excess cash collateral.
5. INVENTORIES
Centrus holds uranium at licensed locations in the form of natural uranium and as the uranium component of LEU. Centrus also holds SWU as the SWU component of LEU at licensed locations (e.g., fabricators) to meet book transfer requests by customers. Fabricators process LEU into fuel for use in nuclear reactors. Components of inventories are as follows (in millions):

| June 30, 2020 |  | December 31, 2019
| Current Assets |  | Current Liabilities (a) |  | Inventories, Net |  | Current Assets |  | Current Liabilities (a) |  | Inventories, Net

6. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets originated from the Company’s reorganization and application of fresh start accounting as of the date the Company emerged from bankruptcy, September 30, 2014, and reflect the conditions at that time. The intangible asset related to the sales order book is amortized as the order book existing at emergence is reduced, principally as a result of deliveries to customers. The intangible asset related to customer relationships is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated average useful life of 15 years. Amortization expense is presented below gross profit on the consolidated statements of operations. Intangible asset balances are as follows (in millions):

| June 30, 2020 |  | December 31, 2019
| Gross Carrying Amount |  | Accumulated Amortization |  | Net Amount |  | Gross Carrying Amount |  | Accumulated Amortization |  | Net Amount

Interest on the 8.25% Notes (the “8.25% Notes”) is payable semi-annually in arrears as of February 28 and August 31 based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The 8.25% Notes mature on February 28, 2027. As shown in the table above, all future interest payment obligations on the 8.25% Notes are included in the carrying value of the 8.25% Notes. As a result, the Company’s reported interest expense will be less than its contractual interest payments throughout the term of the 8.25% Notes. As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, $6.1 million of interest is recorded as current and classified as Current Debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Additional terms and conditions of the 8.25% Notes are described in Note 9, Debt, of the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

8. FAIR VALUE
Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value of assets and liabilities, the following hierarchy is used in selecting inputs, with the highest priority given to Level 1, as these are the most transparent or reliable:

• | Level 1 – quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

• | Level 2 – quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.

• | Level 3 – valuations derived using one or more significant inputs that are not observable.

(a) | The deferred compensation obligation represents the balance of deferred compensation plus net investment earnings. The deferred compensation plan is funded through a rabbi trust. Trust funds are invested in mutual funds for which unit prices are quoted in active markets and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 during the periods presented.
Other Financial Instruments
As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the balance sheet carrying amounts for Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities (excluding the deferred compensation obligation described above), and Payables under SWU Purchase Agreements approximate fair value because of their short-term nature.
The carrying value and estimated fair value of long-term debt are as follows (in millions):

10. INCOME TAXES
Centrus follows the asset and liability approach to account for deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the anticipated future tax consequences of temporary differences between the balance sheet carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that all, or some portion, of the deferred tax assets may not be realized.
Centrus returned to profitability in 2020 primarily due to increased margins in the LEU segment. Centrus has determined that the LEU segment’s continuing increased margins and strong backlog of orders support the assertion that it is more likely than not that all its state net deferred tax assets will be realized. Therefore, the associated valuation allowance was released in the second quarter of 2020 resulting in an income tax benefit of $0.8 million being recorded as a discrete item for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
Centrus continues to maintain its assertion that it is more likely than not that its federal net deferred tax assets will not be realized because of a three-year cumulative pretax loss position as of June 30, 2020 and a significant federal net operating loss carryforward. As a result, Centrus continues to maintain a full valuation allowance on its federal net deferred tax assets.
11. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing income (loss) allocable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. In calculating diluted net income (loss) per common share, the number of shares is increased by the weighted average number of potential shares related to stock compensation awards. No dilutive effect is recognized in a period in which a net loss has occurred. The weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted income (loss) per common share are as follows:

| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
| 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2020 |  | 2019

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments under SWU Purchase Agreements
TENEX
A major supplier of SWU to the Company is the Russian government entity TENEX, Joint-Stock Company (“TENEX”). Under a 2011 agreement with TENEX, as amended, (the “Russian Supply Agreement”), the Company purchases SWU contained in LEU received from TENEX, and the Company delivers natural uranium to TENEX for the LEU’s uranium component. The LEU that the Company obtains from TENEX under the agreement is subject to quotas and other restrictions applicable to commercial Russian LEU.
The Russian Supply Agreement was originally signed with commitments through 2022 but was modified in 2015 to give the Company the right to reschedule certain quantities of SWU of the original commitments into the period 2023 and beyond, in return for the purchase of additional SWU in those years. The Company has exercised this right to reschedule in each year through December 31, 2019. If the Company exercises this right to reschedule in full during the remaining years of the contract’s original term, the Company will have a rescheduled post-2022 purchase commitment through 2028.
The Russian Supply Agreement provides that the Company must pay for all SWU in its minimum purchase obligation each year, even if it fails to submit orders for such SWU. In such a case, the Company would pay for the SWU but have to take the unordered SWU in the following year.
Pricing terms for SWU under the Russian Supply Agreement are based on a combination of market-related price points and other factors. This formula was subject to an adjustment at the end of 2018 that reduced the unit costs of SWU under this contract in 2019 and for the duration of the contract.
Orano
On April 27, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Orano Supply Agreement”) with the French company Orano Cycle (“Orano”) for the long-term supply to the Company of SWU contained in LEU. Under the Orano Supply Agreement, as amended, the supply of SWU commences in 2020 and extends to 2028. The Company has the option to extend the supply period for an additional two years. The Orano Supply Agreement provides significant flexibility to adjust purchase volumes, subject to annual minimums and maximums in fixed amounts that vary year by year. Under the Orano Supply Agreement, the Company purchases SWU contained in LEU received from Orano, and the Company delivers natural uranium to Orano for the natural uranium feed material component of LEU. The pricing for the SWU purchased by the Company is determined by a formula that uses a combination of market-related price points and other factors and is subject to certain floors and ceilings. Prices are payable in a combination of U.S. dollars and euros.
Milestones Under the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement
The Company’s predecessor USEC Inc. and DOE signed an agreement dated June 17, 2002, as amended (the “2002 DOE-USEC Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties made long-term commitments directed at resolving issues related to the stability and security of the domestic uranium enrichment industry. In connection with the plan of reorganization in USEC Inc.’s 2014 Chapter 11 bankruptcy (now completed) and its emergence as the Company, DOE consented to the assumption by Centrus of the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement and other agreements between the Company and DOE subject to an express reservation of all rights, remedies and defenses by DOE and the Company under those agreements. The 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement requires Centrus to develop, demonstrate and deploy advanced enrichment technology in accordance with milestones, including the deployment of a commercial American Centrifuge Plant, and provides for remedies in the event of a failure to meet a milestone under certain circumstances, including terminating the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement, revoking Centrus’ access to DOE’s centrifuge technology that is required for the success of the Company’s ongoing work with the American Centrifuge
17

technology, requiring Centrus to transfer certain rights in the American Centrifuge technology and facilities to DOE, and requiring Centrus to reimburse DOE for certain costs associated with the American Centrifuge technology. The 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement provides that if a delaying event beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of Centrus occurs that could affect Centrus’ ability to meet the American Centrifuge Plant milestone under the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement, DOE and the Company will jointly meet to discuss in good faith possible adjustments to the milestones as appropriate to accommodate the delaying event. The assumption of the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement in 2014 did not affect the ability of either party to assert all rights, remedies and defenses under the agreement and all such rights, remedies and defenses are specifically preserved and all-time limits tolled expressly including all rights, remedies and defenses and time limits relating to any missed milestones. DOE and the Company have agreed that all rights, remedies and defenses of the parties with respect to any missed milestones and all other matters under the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement continue to be preserved, and that the time limits for each party to respond to any missed milestones continue to be tolled.
Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is involved in various pending legal proceedings, including the pending legal proceedings described below.
On August 30, 2013, the Company submitted a claim to DOE under the Contract Disputes Act for payment of $42.8 million, representing DOE’s share of pension and postretirement benefits costs related to the transition of employees at the former Portsmouth, Ohio, Gaseous Diffusion Plant (the “Portsmouth GDP”) to DOE’s decontamination and decommissioning contractor. On August 27, 2014, the DOE contracting officer denied the Company’s claim. As a result, the Company filed an appeal of the decision in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in January 2015. Centrus believes that DOE is responsible for a significant portion of any pension and postretirement benefit costs associated with the transition of employees at Portsmouth. The receivable for DOE’s share of pension and postretirement benefits costs has a full valuation allowance due to the lack of a resolution with DOE and uncertainty regarding the amounts owed and the timing of collection. While proceeding with litigation, the Company is still pursuing settlement.
On May 26, 2019, the Company, Enrichment Corp., and six other DOE contractors who have operated facilities at the Portsmouth GDP site (including, in the case of the Company, the American Centrifuge Plant site located on the premises) were named as defendants in a class action complaint filed by Ursula McGlone, Jason McGlone, Julia Dunham, and K.D. and C.D., minor children by and through their parent and natural guardian Julia Dunham (collectively, the “McGlone Plaintiffs”) in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division. The complaint seeks damages for alleged off-site contamination allegedly resulting from activities on the Portsmouth GDP site. The McGlone Plaintiffs are seeking to represent a class of (i) all current or former residents within a seven-mile radius of the Portsmouth GDP site and (ii) all students and their parents at the Zahn’s Corner Middle School from 1993-present. The complaint was amended on December 10, 2019 and on January 10, 2020, to add additional plaintiffs and new claims. On July 31, 2020, the court granted in part and denied in part the defendants’ motion to dismiss the case. The court dismissed ten of the fifteen claims and allowed the remaining claims to proceed to the next stage of the litigation process. The Company believes that its operations at the Portsmouth GDP site were fully in compliance with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s regulations. Further, the Company believes that any such liability should be covered by indemnification under the Price-Anderson Nuclear Industries Indemnity Act (“Price-Anderson Act”). The Company and Enrichment Corp. have provided notifications to DOE required to invoke indemnification under the Price-Anderson Act and other contractual provisions.
On June 28, 2019, the Company, Enrichment Corp., and four other DOE contractors who have operated facilities at the Portsmouth GDP site were named as defendants in a class action complaint filed by Ray Pritchard and Sharon Melick (collectively, the “Pritchard Plaintiffs”) in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division. The complaint seeks damages for alleged off-site contamination allegedly resulting from activities on the Portsmouth GDP site. The Pritchard Plaintiffs are seeking to represent a class of all current or former residents within a seven-mile radius of the Portsmouth GDP site. The Company believes that its operations at the Portsmouth GDP site were fully in compliance with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s regulations. Further, the Company
18

believes that any such liability should be covered by indemnification under the Price-Anderson Act. The Company and Enrichment Corp. have provided notifications to DOE required to invoke indemnification under the Price-Anderson Act and other contractual provisions.
On November 27, 2019, the Company, Enrichment Corp. and six other DOE contractors who have operated facilities at the Portsmouth GDP site were named as defendants in a class action complaint filed by James Matthews, Jennifer Brownfield Clark, Joanne Ross, the Estate of A.R., and others similarly situated (the “Matthews Plaintiffs”), in the Common Pleas Court of Pike County, Ohio. On January 3, 2020, the complaint was removed to the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Ohio for adjudication. The complaint sought injunctive relief, compensatory damages, statutory damages, and any other relief allowed by law for alleged off-site contamination allegedly resulting from activities on the Portsmouth GDP site. The Matthews Plaintiffs expressly contended that the ongoing and continuous releases that injured the Plaintiffs and Class Members were not “nuclear incidents” as that term is defined in the Price-Anderson Act, but rather “freestanding state law claims concerning traditional-style state regulation.” On July 27, 2020, the court granted the Company, Enrichment Corp. and the other defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint because the Matthews Plaintiffs had opted not to proceed under the Price-Anderson Act which preempts state law. The Company and Enrichment Corp. had provided notifications to DOE required to invoke indemnification under the Price-Anderson Act and other contractual provisions.
On May 15, 2020, the Company, Enrichment Corp. and six other DOE contractors who have operated facilities at the Portsmouth GDP site were named as defendant in a class action complaint filed by Ursula McGlone, Jason McGlone, L.M., G.M., B.M., E.M., and M.M., minor children by and through their parent and natural guardian, Ursula McGlone, Julia Dunham, K.D. and C.D., minor children by and through their parent and natural guardian, Julia Dunham, Adam Rider, Brittani Rider, M.R., C.R., L.R. and L.R., minor children by and through their parent and natural guardian, Brittani Rider, Ohio residents, on behalf of themselves individually and all others similarly situated (“Citizen’s Suit”) in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division. The complaint sought the imposition of civil penalties, requiring full abatement of endangerment, property remediation and injunctive relief for alleged off-site contamination allegedly resulting from activities on the Portsmouth GDP site. On July 27, 2020, the plaintiffs voluntarily filed a notice of dismissal without prejudice with the court. The Company and Enrichment Corp. had provided notifications to DOE required to invoke indemnification under the Price-Anderson Act and other contractual provisions.
On June 30, 2020, the Company, Enrichment Corp., six other DOE Contractors, U.S. Department of Energy and other government agencies were given notice of Ursula McGlone, Jason McGlone and Julia Dunham’s intent to file a citizen’s suit under the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act against the Company, Enrichment Corp. and six other DOE Contractors. The complainants will purportedly seek civil penalties and injunctive relief for alleged off-site contamination allegedly resulting from activities on the Portsmouth GDP site. As of this filing, neither the Company nor Enrichment Corp. have been served with the forthcoming complaint.
In June 2020, the Company’s subsidiaries, Enrichment Corp. and American Centrifuge Enrichment, LLC (collectively, the “Company Subsidiaries”) collected approximately $32.4 million as a recovery on claims filed in October 2018 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Ohio (the “Bankruptcy Court”) against each of FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company and FirstEnergy Nuclear Generation, LLC (collectively, the “FirstEnergy Contract Parties”). The recovery proceeds are included in SWU Revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The claims related to damages arising from the rejection and breach of a long-term contract between the Company Subsidiaries and the FirstEnergy Contract Parties in connection with bankruptcy petitions filed by the FirstEnergy Contract Parties. The recovery resulted from a May 2020 stipulation, subsequently approved by the Bankruptcy Court, whereby the FirstEnergy Contract Parties and the Company Subsidiaries agreed that the claims of the Company Subsidiaries against the FirstEnergy Contract Parties will be allowed for all purposes as an allowed unsecured claim in the amount of $70 million. Pursuant to the approved stipulation, the Company Subsidiaries dismissed their appeal concerning the disallowance by the Bankruptcy Court of claims by the Company Subsidiaries under guaranties issued by affiliates of the FirstEnergy Contract Parties, and the successors
19

to the FirstEnergy Contract Parties entered into a contract to purchase separative work units in the future from Enrichment Corp.
Centrus is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, other than the above, Centrus does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters, individually and in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its cash flows, results of operations or consolidated financial condition.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report.
This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements particularly in light of the economic, social and market uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic. See “Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
Centrus Energy Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Centrus” or the “Company”), is a trusted supplier of nuclear fuel and services for the nuclear power industry. References to “Centrus”, the “Company”, “our”, or “we” include Centrus Energy Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries as well as the predecessor to Centrus, unless the context otherwise indicates.
Centrus operates two business segments: (a) low-enriched uranium (“LEU”), which supplies various components of nuclear fuel to utilities, and (b) technical solutions, which provides advanced engineering, design, and manufacturing services to government and private sector customers.
Our LEU segment provides most of the Company’s revenue and involves the sale of separative work units (“SWU”) and occasionally LEU to utilities operating commercial nuclear power plants. The company also sells natural uranium to utilities and other nuclear fuel-related companies.
LEU is a critical component in the production of nuclear fuel for reactors that produce electricity. We supply LEU to both domestic and international utilities for use in nuclear reactors worldwide. We provide LEU from multiple sources, including our inventory, medium- and long- term supply contracts, and spot purchases. As a long-term supplier of LEU to our customers, our objective is to provide value through the reliability and diversity of our supply sources. Our long-term goal is to resume commercial enrichment production, and we are exploring approaches to that end.
Our technical solutions segment utilizes the unique technical expertise, operational experience, and specialized facilities that we developed over nearly two decades as part of our uranium enrichment technology program. We are leveraging these capabilities to expand and diversify our business beyond uranium enrichment, offering new services to existing and new customers in complementary markets.
With the specialized capabilities and workforce at our Technology and Manufacturing Center in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, we are performing technical, engineering and manufacturing services for a range of commercial and government customers and actively working to secure new customers. Our experience developing, licensing, manufacturing, and operating advanced nuclear components and systems positions us to provide critical design, engineering, manufacturing, and other services to a broad range of potential clients, including those involving sensitive or classified technologies. This work includes design, engineering, manufacturing, and licensing services support for advanced reactor and fuel fabrication projects as well as decontamination and decommissioning (“D&D”) work.
With several decades of experience in enrichment, we continue to be a leader in the development of an advanced U.S. uranium enrichment technology, which we believe could play a critical role in supplying fuel for advanced reactors, meeting U.S. national and energy security needs, and achieving our nation’s nonproliferation objectives.
21

In April 2020, Centrus signed a nonbinding Letter of Intent with Advanced Reactor Concepts (“ARC”), reflecting the parties’ long-term commitment to enter into a purchase agreement that would enable Centrus to supply commercial high-assay, low-enriched uranium (“HALEU”) fuel that ARC needs to deploy its reactor technology in the late 2020s. In other recent developments, DOE released the Nuclear Fuel Working Group report, which called for “immediate action to support domestic uranium miners and restore the viability of the entire front-end of the nuclear fuel cycle”.
In October 2019, we signed a cost-share contract (the “HALEU Contract”) with DOE to deploy a cascade of centrifuges to demonstrate production of HALEU fuel with existing United States-origin enrichment technology and provide DOE with HALEU for near term use in its research and development for the advancement of civilian nuclear energy and national security, as well as other programmatic missions. The three-year program has been under way since May 31, 2019, when the Company and DOE signed a preliminary agreement that allowed work to begin while the HALEU Contract was being finalized.
Under the HALEU Contract, DOE agreed to reimburse the Company for 80% of its costs incurred in performing the contract, up to a maximum of $115 million. The Company’s cost share is the corresponding 20% and any costs incurred above these amounts. Services to be provided over the three-year contract include constructing and assembling centrifuge machines and related infrastructure in a cascade formation and production of a small quantity of HALEU. When estimates of remaining program costs to be incurred for such an integrated, construction-type contract exceed estimates of total revenue to be earned, a provision for the remaining loss on the contract is recorded. A loss provision of $18.3 million was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2019. The accrued loss on the contract is being adjusted over the remaining contract term based on actual results and remaining program cost projections. As of June 30, 2020, the accrued contract loss balance was $13.0 million, and Cost of Sales in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 benefited by $3.0 million and $5.3 million, respectively, for previously accrued contract losses attributable to work performed in 2020. Refer to “Technical Solutions - Government Contracting” below for additional details. The HALEU Contract is incrementally funded and DOE is currently obligated for costs up to approximately $65.1 million of the $115 million. The Company has received aggregate cash payments of $30.2 million through June 30, 2020.
HALEU is a component of an advanced nuclear reactor fuel that is not commercially available today and may be required for a number of advanced reactor and fuel designs currently under development in both the commercial and government sectors. Existing reactors typically operate on LEU with the uranium-235 isotope concentration below 5%. HALEU has a uranium-235 concentration ranging from 5% to 20%, giving it several potential technical and economic advantages. For example, the higher concentration of uranium-235 means that fuel assemblies and reactors can be smaller and reactors will require less frequent refueling. Reactors can also achieve higher “burnup” rates, meaning that a smaller volume of fuel will be required overall and less waste will be produced. HALEU may also be used in the future to fabricate next-generation fuel forms for the existing fleet of reactors in the United States and around the world. These new HALEU-based fuels could improve the economics of nuclear reactors and inherent safety features while increasing the amount of electricity that can be generated at existing reactors. HALEU fuel may also ultimately be used in new commercial and government applications in the future, such as reactors for the military.
Despite the challenges of COVID-19 we have continued to make progress under the contract. On June 23, 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (“NRC”) accepted for review our application to amend our license to permit the production of HALEU up to 20% U235 enrichment. We believe our investment in the HALEU technology will position the Company to meet the needs of our customers in the future as they deploy advanced reactors and next generation fuels. By investing in HALEU technology now, and as the only domestically-owned company with HALEU enrichment capability, we believe the Company could be well positioned to capitalize on a potential new market as the demand for HALEU-based fuels increases with the development of advanced reactors. There are no guarantees about whether or when government or commercial demand for HALEU will materialize, and there are a number of technical, regulatory and economic hurdles that must be overcome for these fuels and reactors to come to the market. Since the HALEU demonstration program will conclude in early 2022, we are
22

intently focused on developing options to sustain and expand our demonstrated capability for the period immediately following the conclusion of the program.
The nuclear industry in general, and the nuclear fuel industry in particular, is in a period of significant change, which continues to affect the competitive landscape. In the years following the 2011 Fukushima accident, the published market prices for uranium enrichment declined more than 75% through mid-2018. While the monthly price indicators have since gradually started to increase, the uranium enrichment segment of the nuclear fuel market remains oversupplied (including because foreign-owned enrichers continued to expand even as demand fell) and faces uncertainty about future demand for nuclear power generation. Changes in the competitive landscape affect pricing trends, change customer spending patterns, and create uncertainty. To address these changes, we have taken steps to adjust our cost structure; we may seek further adjustments to our cost structure and operations and evaluate opportunities to grow our business organically or through acquisitions and other strategic transactions.
We are also actively considering, and expect to consider from time to time in the future, potential strategic transactions, which could involve, without limitation, acquisitions and/or dispositions of businesses or assets, joint ventures or investments in businesses, products or technologies or changes to our capital structure. In connection with any such transaction, we may seek additional debt or equity financing, contribute or dispose of assets, assume additional indebtedness, or partner with other parties to consummate a transaction.
COVID-19 Update
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The Company has taken actions to protect its workforce and to maintain critical operations. Travel, operational, and other restrictions imposed by the U.S. and foreign governments may impact our ability to make future sales and may impact the ability of our suppliers, including our suppliers of low enriched uranium, to perform under their contracts. As of the date of this filing, our LEU segment operations have not been materially affected by the pandemic and we are working with our suppliers, fabricators, and customers to monitor the situation closely.
Further, the governments of states and counties in which we operate have issued orders prohibiting holding gatherings and closing nonessential businesses. Many of these restrictions remain in place and we continue to monitor and adjust as necessary. As a result, the Company has instituted measures such as expanded telework to protect our workforce, to comply with government orders, and to maintain critical operations. Not all work, however, can be performed remotely. Consequently, we have instituted limited operations for personnel working on the HALEU program to maintain critical systems and security. Further, the actions taken by our suppliers and government regulatory agencies to protect their workforces may impact our ability to obtain the necessary supplies and governmental reviews and approvals to timely complete the project. At this time, other than the restrictions on a limited number of our employees, our technical solutions segment’s operations have not been significantly affected.
We are working closely with DOE and we are continuing to work to make progress while implementing measures to protect our workforce. To date, there has been minimal impact to our financial results; however, we cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of this pandemic, or the extent to which the disruption may materially impact our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, and consolidated cash flows in fiscal 2020 at this time.
For further discussion, refer to Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors - The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect our business, operations, financial condition and results of operations, and the extent to which the effects of the pandemic will impact our business, operations, financial condition and results of operations remains uncertain, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
23

Operating Results
Our revenues, operating results, and cash flows can fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.
In the three months ended June 30, 2020, we benefited from the one time collection from a customer of $32.4 million in settlement of a supply contract rejected in bankruptcy court. We expect revenue in our third quarter ending September 30 to be lower but anticipate that our fourth quarter will be stronger as we typically have more deliveries in that quarter.
Our order book of sales under contract in the LEU segment extends to 2030. As of June 30, 2020, the order book was $1.0 billion. The order book represents the estimated aggregate dollar amount of revenue for future SWU and uranium deliveries under contract and includes $0.3 billion of Deferred Revenue and Advances from Customers. Due to the nature of the long term contracts and our order book, we have visibility of a significant portion of our anticipated revenue for 2021 and 2022 in the LEU segment. However, these long term contracts are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including potential import laws and restrictions. In particular, the portion of our order book that we may fulfill with LEU received under our Russian Supply Agreement (“RSA”) is subject to uncertainties related to the administrative review and possible extension of the RSA. For further discussion of these risks and uncertainties, refer to Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors - Restrictions on imports or sales of SWU or uranium that we buy from our Russian supplier could adversely affect profitability and the viability of our business, including new restrictions as a result of the expiration of the RSA or amendments to the RSA on terms unfavorable to us, as well as - Duties or restrictions on imports or sales of SWU or uranium that we buy from foreign suppliers, or sanctions applicable to those suppliers or their affiliates, could adversely affect profitability and the viability of our business, and Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors - The dollar amount of the sales order book, as stated at any given time, is not necessarily indicative of future sales revenues and is subject to uncertainty in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Our future operating results are subject to a number of uncertainties that could affect results either positively or negatively. Among the factors that could affect our results are the following:

• | Additional purchases or sales of SWU and uranium;

• | Conditions in the LEU and energy markets, including pricing, demand, operations, government restrictions on imports, exports or investments, and regulations of our business and activities and those of our customers, suppliers, contractors, and subcontractors;

• | Timing of customer orders, related deliveries, and purchases of LEU or components;

• | Financial market conditions and other factors that may affect pension and benefit liabilities and the value of related assets;

• | The outcome of legal proceedings and other contingencies;

• | Potential use of cash for strategic or financial initiatives;

• | Actions taken by customers, including actions that might affect existing contracts;

• | Market, international trade and other conditions impacting Centrus’ customers and the industry; and

• | The length and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our operations.

24

Revenue
We have two reportable segments: the LEU segment and the technical solutions segment.
Revenue from our LEU segment is derived primarily from:

• | sales of the SWU component of LEU;

• | sales of both the SWU and uranium components of LEU; and

• | sales of natural uranium.

Our technical solutions segment reflects our technical, manufacturing, engineering, and operations services offered to public and private sector customers, including engineering and testing activities as well as technical and resource support currently being performed by the Company. This includes the HALEU Contract and a variety of other contracts with public and private sector customers.
SWU and Uranium Sales
Revenue from our LEU segment accounted for approximately 81% of our total revenue in 2019. The majority of our customers are domestic and international utilities that operate nuclear power plants, with international sales constituting approximately one-third of revenue from our LEU segment in recent years. Our agreements with electric utilities are primarily fixed-commitment contracts under which our customers are obligated to purchase a specified quantity of the SWU component of LEU from us. Contracts where we sell both the SWU and uranium component of LEU to utilities or where we sell natural uranium to utilities and other nuclear fuel related companies are generally shorter-term, fixed-commitment contracts.
Revenue is recognized at the time LEU or uranium is delivered under the terms of our contracts. The timing of customer deliveries is affected by, among other things, electricity markets, reactor operations, maintenance and refueling outages, and customer inventories. In the current market environment, some customers are building inventories and may choose to take deliveries under annual purchase obligations later in the year. Customer payments for the SWU component of LEU average roughly $10 million per order. As a result, a relatively small change in the timing of customer orders for LEU may cause significant variability in operating results.
Utility customers in general have the option to defer receipt of SWU and uranium products purchased from Centrus beyond the contractual sale period, resulting in the deferral of costs and revenue recognition. Refer to Note 2, Revenue and Contracts with Customers, in the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.
Our financial performance over time can be significantly affected by changes in prices for SWU and uranium. Since 2011, market prices for SWU and uranium significantly declined until mid-2018, when they began to trend upward. Since our sales order book includes contracts awarded to us in previous years, the average SWU price billed to customers typically lags behind published price indicators by several years. While newer sales reflect the low prices prevalent in recent years, certain older contracts included in our order book have sales prices that are significantly above current market prices.

SWU and Uranium Market Price Indicators*
* Source: Nuclear Market Review, a TradeTech publication, www.uranium.info
Our contracts with customers are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars, and although revenue has not been directly affected by changes in the foreign exchange rate of the U.S. dollar, we may have a competitive price advantage or disadvantage obtaining new contracts in a competitive bidding process depending upon the weakness or strength of the U.S. dollar. Costs of our primary competitors are denominated in other currencies. Our contracts with suppliers have historically been denominated in U.S. dollars. In 2018, however, we entered into an agreement with Orano Cycle (“Orano”) for the long-term supply of SWU. Most purchases under the contract with Orano will be payable in a combination of U.S dollars and euros and we may be subject to exchange rate risk for the portion of purchases payable in euros.
On occasion, we will accept payment in the form of uranium. Revenue from the sale of SWU under such contracts is recognized at the time LEU is delivered and is based on the fair value of the uranium at contract inception, or as the quantity of uranium is finalized, if variable.
Cost of sales for SWU and uranium is based on the amount of SWU and uranium sold and delivered during the period and unit inventory costs. Unit inventory costs are determined using the average cost method. Changes in purchase costs have an effect on inventory costs and cost of sales over current and future periods. Cost of sales includes costs for inventory management at off-site licensed locations. Cost of sales also includes certain legacy costs related to former employees of the Portsmouth and Paducah gaseous diffusion plants.

Market Uncertainties
Imports into the United States of LEU and other uranium products produced in the Russian Federation, including LEU imported by Centrus under the Russian Supply Agreement, are subject, through December 31, 2020, to quotas imposed under legislation enacted into law in September 2008 and under the 1992 Russian Suspension Agreement (“RSA”), as amended in 2008. These quotas limit the amount of Russian LEU that can be imported into the United States for U.S. consumption. Neither the legislation nor the RSA currently impose quotas on LEU imported into the United States after 2020.
The U.S. Department of Commerce (“DOC”) is currently conducting an administrative review of the current status of, and compliance with, the RSA during the period October 2017 through September 2018 (the “Second Administrative Review”) and, in December 2019, initiated another review of the period October 2018 through September 2019 (the “Third Administrative Review”). In an earlier review (the “First Administrative Review”), which covered the period October 2016 through September 2017 and was completed in December 2017, the DOC found that TENEX, Centrus, and others had complied with the terms of the RSA during the period of review, but deferred until the Second Administrative Review any decision on whether the RSA continues to meet the statutory requirements that the RSA (i) prevent the suppression or undercutting of price levels of domestic uranium products and (ii) continue to be in the public interest. In a preliminary determination in the Second Administrative Review, issued in December 2019, the DOC again found that Centrus and others had complied with the RSA, but again deferred making a determination on the statutory requirements, which it said would be addressed in a post-preliminary analysis. This analysis was issued on June 17, 2020. In the analysis, the DOC preliminarily found that the RSA does not meet the statutory requirements on the grounds that (a) the RSA did not prevent price suppression or price undercutting during the period reviewed by the DOC in the Second Administrative Review, and (b) absent a reversal of the pending termination of the RSA and the underlying antidumping investigation, the RSA is no longer in the public interest.
On July 21, 2020, pursuant to a general extension of deadlines for all administrative reviews occasioned, among other things, by the COVID-19 pandemic, the DOC extended an August 4, 2020, deadline to issue a final determination in the Second Administrative Review, to October 5, 2020. The DOC may elect to extend the October 5, 2020, deadline further, which could also further extend the period for negotiations between the DOC and the Russian Federation State Atomic Energy Corporation (Rosatom).
If, in its final determination in the Second Administrative Review, the DOC determines that (i) there is evidence of non-compliance with the RSA, and/or (ii) the RSA does meet the statutory requirements, the DOC could terminate the RSA, restart the antidumping investigation that the RSA suspended, and begin collecting cash deposits to cover applicable tariffs in excess of 115% of the value of imports of Russian uranium products, including the LEU that the Company imports into the United States under the Russian Supply Agreement. Further, these cash deposits could be applied retroactively to periods before the final determination, requiring Centrus to deposit cash equal to 115% of the value of Russian LEU imported under the Russian Supply Agreement during such periods.
The requirement to post cash deposits and the potential duties due upon the conclusion of the antidumping investigation would make the LEU containing the SWU that we purchase under the Russian Supply Agreement too expensive to place into the U.S. market, and our ability to place Russian LEU outside of the U.S. is limited. Further, if cash deposits were to apply retroactively, the Company would not be able to mitigate these losses through purchases from alternative supplies. Because (i) most of the LEU we place into existing contracts with U.S. customers today is sourced from Russia under the Russian Supply Agreement and (ii) we anticipate continuing to place significant quantities of Russian LEU into our U.S. contracts in the future, most of our revenues from our LEU business in the United States are earned with deliveries of Russian LEU. Consequently, any determination by the DOC that leads to the restart of the antidumping investigation and requires cash deposits, whether or not those deposits apply retroactively, could result in significant financial losses to the Company and could result in our business no longer being viable.
27

In February 2019, the DOC formally opened negotiations with Rosatom with respect to a possible extension of the term of the RSA. In connection with these negotiations, the DOC is seeking a significant extension of the RSA. We are working with industry stakeholders and others to ensure that the extension will include sufficient quota to allow the Russian Supply Agreement to be fully implemented, but it is possible that the terms of the extension will not expressly protect our ability to import LEU under the Russian Supply Agreement or will not require that sufficient or any available quota be allocated to those imports.
The negotiations between the DOC and Rosatom are ongoing, and the parties have not yet reached agreement. The most significant issue to the Company in the ongoing negotiations is the treatment of the Russian Supply Agreement on a going-forward basis in the context of the cap on imports of Russian LEU that would apply under an extended RSA. In June 2020, the DOC indicated in a publicly-available letter to certain U.S. Senators (the “June Letter”) that, as part of its negotiating position on the extension of the RSA, the DOC is seeking to respect the commercial interests of U.S. parties who, by the time negotiations of the RSA extension began in February 2019, had already entered into contracts to purchase uranium products from Russia in the post-2020 time period. We have asked the DOC that the Russian Supply Agreement (signed in 2011) be included among those contracts and have proposed to the DOC an amount of quota to satisfy our anticipated operational needs. Although the negotiations are ongoing, our current expectation is that, if an agreement were to be reached that included quota in the amounts we have proposed, we would be substantially protected from import restrictions and could continue to meet our obligations under the Russian Supply Contract, taking into account foreign sales that we could make that would not require quota for delivery of Russian LEU. However, the DOC also stated in the June Letter that significant gaps on key issues have persisted in the negotiations with Rosatom and, accordingly, the ongoing negotiations are subject to significant uncertainty. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the DOC will reach agreement with Rosatom or that any agreement will ultimately protect the amount of LEU we currently expect to take under the Russian Supply Agreement.
Unless an RSA extension provides for sufficient quota or other relief that would allow Centrus to deliver in the United States substantially all of the Russian LEU that we procure under the Russian Supply Agreement (taking into account foreign sales that we could make that would not require quota for delivery of Russian LEU), (i) our ability to meet all our commitments under our order book and to obtain new sales commitments would be substantially jeopardized, and (ii) our ability to earn revenues with the Russian LEU we are required to procure under the Russian Supply Agreement would be substantially reduced, or potentially eliminated. As a result, we would lose most of our U.S. revenues and market share to our competitors, while being required to continue making purchases of the SWU in, and deliveries of natural uranium for, LEU delivered to us under the Russian Supply Agreement. The loss of supply and revenues, as well as the costs of continuing to purchase Russian material we cannot sell in the United States, would adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and potentially result in our business no longer being viable.
In the June Letter, the DOC noted that if the negotiations are unsuccessful, the DOC could terminate the RSA and resume the underlying antidumping investigation. Termination could occur pursuant to the Second Administrative Review. Thus, if before October 5, 2020, which is the date on which the DOC is currently due to make a final determination in the Second Administrative Review, DOC has not reached agreement with Rosatom to extend the RSA, the DOC could make the final determination described above that results in a restarted antidumping investigation. Upon restart of the investigation, Centrus would be obligated to pay the cash deposits and potential duties, as described above.
All of these outcomes, individually and collectively, could cause us to incur significant financial losses, in addition to impeding or preventing us from fulfilling our existing contracts or winning new contracts, and adversely affect our profitability and the viability of our business. Additionally, as a result of the uncertainty regarding the outcome of the pending trade matter, customers may be reluctant to contract for SWU or uranium from the Company and the Company may not be able to secure adequate alternative supplies. Further, the outcome of the pending trade matter could materially impact future demand and market prices.
28

It is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of either the negotiation of the RSA or the antidumping proceeding that could follow if the negotiation does not succeed.
For further details, refer to Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors - Restrictions on imports or sales of LEU or SWU that we buy could adversely affect profitability and the viability of our business, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Technical Solutions
Our technical solutions segment reflects our technical, manufacturing, engineering and operations services offered to public and private sector customers, including the American Centrifuge engineering and testing activities we have performed as a contractor for UT-Battelle and the engineering, procurement, construction, manufacturing and operations services being performed under the HALEU Contract. With our private sector customers, we seek to leverage our domestic enrichment experience, engineering know-how, and precision manufacturing facility to assist customers with a range of engineering, design, and advanced manufacturing projects, including the production of fuel for next-generation nuclear reactors and the development of related facilities.
Government Contracting
On October 31, 2019, we signed the cost-share HALEU Contract with DOE to deploy a cascade of centrifuges to demonstrate production of HALEU for advanced reactors. The three-year program has been under way since May 31, 2019, when the Company and DOE signed an interim HALEU letter agreement that allowed work to begin while the full contract was being finalized. We continue to invest in advanced technology because of the potential for future growth into new areas of business for the Company, while also preserving our unique workforce at our Technology and Manufacturing Center in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The Company entered into this cost-share contract with DOE as a critical first step on the road back to the commercial production of enriched uranium, which the Company had terminated in 2013 with the closure of the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Facility. The HALEU Contract, once fully implemented, will result in the Company having demonstrated the capability to enrich uranium to the 19.75 percent concentration in the uranium -235 isotope that is required by many of the advanced reactor concepts now under development. Moreover, by 2022 the Company expects to have secured an NRC license for production on 19.75 percent HALEU, opening the door to the possibility of significant sales of HALEU to both commercial and government customers. In the latter category, the Company is closely following the implementation of Project Pele, which is supporting the development of micro-nuclear power plants, which in time could provide a significant source of demand for HALEU-based nuclear fuel.
Under the HALEU Contract, DOE agreed to reimburse the Company for 80% of its costs incurred in performing the contract, up to a maximum of $115 million. The Company’s cost share is the corresponding 20% and any costs incurred above these amounts. Costs under the HALEU Contract include program costs, including direct labor and materials and associated indirect costs that are classified as Cost of Sales, and an allocation of corporate costs supporting the program that are classified as Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Services to be provided over the three-year contract include constructing and assembling centrifuge machines and related infrastructure in a cascade formation and production of a small quantity of HALEU. When estimates of remaining program costs to be incurred for such an integrated, construction-type contract exceed estimates of total revenue to be earned, a provision for the remaining loss on the contract is recorded to Cost of Sales in the period the loss is determined. Our corporate costs supporting the program are recognized as expense as incurred over the duration of the contract term. As of December 31, 2019, the portion of our anticipated cost share under the HALEU Contract representing our share of remaining projected program costs was recognized in Cost of Sales as an accrued loss of $18.3 million. The accrued loss on the contract will be adjusted over the remaining contract term based on actual results and remaining program cost projections. As of June 30, 2020, the accrued contract loss balance was $13.0 million, and Cost of Sales in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 benefited by $3.0 million and $5.3 million, respectively for previously accrued contract losses attributable to work performed in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
29

Effective June 1, 2019, with the commencement of the HALEU work, ongoing costs of the Piketon facility that were included in Advanced Technology Costs on the consolidated statement of operations prior to June 1, 2019, are included in Cost of Sales of the technical solutions segment with the exception of costs for two minor items that were repaired under a previous agreement with DOE.
Over the past five years, our government contracts with UT-Battelle have provided for engineering and testing work on the American Centrifuge technology at our facilities in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. In February 2020, an additional $4.4 million fixed-price agreement was entered into with UT-Battelle. The Company, which had already begun this scope of work in 2019, completed the work during the second quarter of 2020. Revenue was $4.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, with approximately 58% of associated costs recognized in 2019 and 42% in the six months ended June 30, 2020.
In addition, we have entered into other contracts with DOE, other agencies and their contractors to provide engineering, design and manufacturing services.
Commercial Contracting
In March 2018, we entered into a services agreement with X Energy, LLC (“X-energy”) to provide X-energy with technical and resource support for criticality safety evaluation of processing equipment, design of fresh fuel transport packages, and conceptual mock-up of a nuclear fuel production facility. In November 2018, we entered into a second services agreement with X-energy to provide technical and resource support to the design and license application development of its nuclear fuel production facility. Under both agreements, we provide X-energy with non-cash in-kind contributions subject to a cooperative agreement between X-energy and the United States government. In June 2020, the parties extended the period of performance through October 31, 2020.
Under the X-energy agreements, services are performed pursuant to separate task orders issued and provide for time-and-materials based pricing. The cumulative value of task orders issued provides for payments to us of $11.9 million and in-kind contributions to be provided by us of $6.5 million. Revenue through June 30, 2020 for payments received or pending, totaled $11.3 million, and in-kind contributions provided by us totaled $6.2 million.
In addition, we have entered into other contracts for engineering, design, and advanced manufacturing services with other commercial entities.
Prior Site Services Work
We formerly performed sites services work under contracts with DOE and its contractors at the former Portsmouth (Ohio) and Paducah (Kentucky) Gaseous Diffusion Plants. The Company and DOE have yet to fully settle the Company’s claims for reimbursements for certain pension and postretirement benefits costs related to past contract work performed at the Portsmouth and Paducah plant sites. There is the potential to recognize additional income for this work pending the outcome of legal proceedings related to the Company’s claims for payment and the potential release of previously established valuation allowances on receivables. Refer to Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings, for additional information.

Revenue
Revenue from the LEU segment increased $60.8 million (or 2338%) in the three months and $56.4 million (or 150%) in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the corresponding periods in 2019. SWU revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 includes $32.4 million collected from a customer in settlement of a supply contract rejected in bankruptcy court. Excluding these proceeds, revenue from the sales of SWU increased $26.2 million in the three months and $44.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The volume of SWU sold increased 97% for the six-month period and the average SWU price increased 134%, reflecting the variability in timing of utility customer orders and the particular contracts under which SWU were sold during the periods. Revenue from uranium sales increased $2.2 million in the three months and declined $20.5 million in six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the corresponding periods in 2019. For the six-month period, the volume of uranium sold declined 79%.
Revenue from the technical solutions segment increased $4.3 million (or 54%) in the three months and $15.0 million (or 129%) in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the corresponding periods in 2019. The increases were primarily the result of work performed under the HALEU Contract. Revenue in the current periods included work performed under the UT-Battelle contract and revenue in the prior periods included work performed under an agreement with DOE to decontaminate and decommission its K-1600 facility in Tennessee. The K-1600 contract was completed in October 2019.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the LEU segment increased $11.2 million (or 145%) in the three months and declined $13.8 million (or 30%) in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the corresponding periods in 2019. There were no sales of SWU in the corresponding three-month period in 2019. For the six-month period, the decline in cost of sales reflects the decline in uranium sales volume, partially offset by the increase SWU sales volume and a decline in the average cost of sales per SWU. The average cost of sales per SWU declined approximately 39% in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the corresponding period in 2019, primarily due to lower pricing in supply contracts. Cost of sales includes legacy costs related to former employees of the Portsmouth and Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plants of $1.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. Our inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Valuation adjustments for our uranium inventory to reflect declines in uranium market price indicators totaled $2.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019, including $2.0 million in second quarter of 2019.
Cost of sales for the technical solutions segment increased $5.8 million (or 81%) in the three months and $12.0 million (or 92%) in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the corresponding periods in 2019, reflecting in part the mix of technical solutions work performed in each of the periods including work performed under the HALEU Contract in the current period. Cost of sales benefited by $3.0 million in the three months and $5.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, for previously accrued contract losses attributable to work performed under the HALEU Contract in 2020. For details on HALEU Contract accounting, refer to “Technical Solutions - Government Contracting” above.

Gross Profit (Loss)
We realized a gross profit of $43.8 million and $63.4 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to a gross loss of $4.3 million and $9.8 million in the corresponding periods in 2019.
The gross profit for the LEU segment was $44.5 million in the three months and $61.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to a gross loss of $5.1 million and $8.3 million in the corresponding periods in 2019. The improvement for the LEU segment was primarily due to the recovery on bankruptcy court claims of $32.4 million, the increases in SWU sales volume and average SWU selling prices, and the decline in the average cost of sales per SWU.
For the technical solutions segment, we realized a gross loss of $0.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to a gross profit of $0.8 million for the corresponding period in 2019. We realized a gross profit of $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to a gross loss of $1.5 million in the corresponding period in 2019. The gross profit in the current six-month period was primarily attributable to the UT-Battelle contract awarded in February 2020. The Company began this scope of work in 2019, and associated costs were recognized in both 2019 and the first half of 2020.

Advanced Technology Costs
Advanced technology costs consist of American Centrifuge expenses that are outside of our customer contracts in the technical solutions segment, including costs for work at the Piketon facility prior to the commencement of the HALEU work in June 2019. Costs declined $4.4 million (or 86%) in the three months and $10.1 million (or 86%) in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the corresponding periods in 2019.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $2.7 million (or 35%) in the three months compared to the corresponding period in 2019. Consulting costs increased $2.1 million, including $2.0 million of previously deferred costs related to capital financing evaluation work. Compensation expense increased $0.8 million primarily due to an increase in the share price of the Company’s common stock and the remeasurement of obligations under long-term incentive plans. Other SG&A expenses declined by a net $0.2 million.
SG&A expenses increased $3.1 million (or 20%) in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the corresponding period in 2019, primarily due to an increase in consulting costs and the $0.8 million increase in compensation expense. In the six-month period, consulting costs increased $2.9 million related to initiatives including capital financing evaluation, claim recoveries and international trade. Travel and recruiting expenses declined by a total of $0.4 million and other SG&A expenses declined by a net $0.2 million.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization expense for the intangible asset related to the September 2014 sales order book is a function of SWU sales volume under that order book, which increased $0.5 million in the three months and $0.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the corresponding periods in 2019. Amortization expense for the intangible asset related to customer relationships is amortized on a straight-line basis.
34

Special Charges (Credits) for Workforce Reductions
Special charges (credits) in the six months ended June 30, 2020 consisted of income of $0.1 million for the reversal of accrued termination benefits related to unvested employee departures. Special charges (credits) in the six months ended June 30, 2019 consisted of income of $2.9 million for the reversal of accrued termination benefits for employees who were retained for the HALEU program.
Nonoperating Components of Net Periodic Benefit Expense (Income)
Nonoperating components of net periodic benefit expense (income) netted to income of $2.2 million and $4.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to $0 million and $0.1 million in the corresponding periods in 2019. Nonoperating components of net periodic benefit expense (income) consist primarily of the expected return on plan assets, offset by interest cost as the discounted present value of benefit obligations nears payment. Interest cost declined in 2020 as a result of lower market interest rates.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
The income tax benefit was $0.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. The income tax benefit was $0.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and $0.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019.
In the second quarter of 2020, Centrus released the tax valuation allowance on its state deferred income taxes. Most of the release of the tax valuation allowance was recorded as a discrete item and resulted in an income tax benefit of $0.8 million offset by the income tax expense of $0.3 million in its quarterly provision primarily for a current year unrecognized tax benefit. The 2019 income tax benefit resulted from discrete items to reverse previously accrued liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits.
For the year, Centrus expects the income tax benefit to be $0 million representing the income tax benefit from the discrete in the second quarter offset by the income tax expense accrued through its annual effective tax rate.
Net Income (Loss)
Our net income was $33.7 million in the three months and $45.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to a net loss of $15.6 million and $36.5 million in the corresponding periods in the prior year. The favorable variance of $49.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, was primarily a result of a $48.1 million increase in gross profit, including the $32.4 million recovery on bankruptcy court claims. The favorable variance of $81.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, was primarily a result of a $73.2 million increase in gross profit, a $10.1 million decline in advanced technology costs, and a $4.3 million increase in nonoperating components of net periodic benefit income.
Preferred Stock Dividends - Undeclared and Cumulative
Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends of 7.5% per annum of the aggregate liquidation preference at origination of $104.6 million. We did not meet the criteria for a dividend payment obligation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and the corresponding period in 2019, and we have not declared, accrued or paid dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock since issuance on February 14, 2017. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock are cumulative to the extent not paid at any quarter-end, whether or not declared and whether or not there are assets of the Company legally available for the payment of such dividends in whole or in part.
35

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We ended the second quarter of 2020 with a consolidated cash balance of $119.3 million. We anticipate having adequate liquidity to support our business operations for at least the next 12 months from the date of this report. Our view of liquidity is dependent on, among other things, conditions affecting our operations, including market, international trade restrictions, COVID-19 and other conditions and the level of expenditures and government funding for our services contracts and the timing of customer payments. Liquidity requirements for our existing operations are affected primarily by the timing and amount of customer sales and our inventory purchases.
We believe our sales order book in our LEU segment is a source of stability for our liquidity position. Subject to market conditions, we see the potential for growing uncommitted demand for LEU during the next few years with accelerated open demand in 2025 and beyond.
Cash resources and net sales proceeds from our LEU segment fund technology costs that are outside of our customer contracts in the technical solutions segment and general corporate expenses, including cash interest payments on our debt. We believe our investment in advanced U.S. uranium enrichment technology will position the Company to meet the needs of our customers as they deploy advanced reactors and next generation fuels. We signed the three-year HALEU Contract with DOE in October 2019 to deploy a cascade of centrifuges to demonstrate production of HALEU for advanced reactors. Under the agreement, the Company is contributing a portion of the program costs. The program has been under way since May 31, 2019, when Centrus and DOE signed a preliminary letter agreement that allowed work to begin while the full contract was being finalized.
Under the HALEU Contract, DOE agreed to reimburse the Company for 80% of its costs incurred in performing the contract, up to a maximum of $115 million. The Company’s cost share is the corresponding 20% and any costs incurred above these amounts. The HALEU Contract is incrementally funded and DOE is currently obligated for costs up to approximately $65.1 million of the $115 million. The Company has received aggregate cash payments of $30.2 million through June 30, 2020.
There are no guarantees about whether or when government or commercial demand for HALEU will materialize, and there are a number of technical, regulatory and economic hurdles that must be overcome for these fuels and reactors to come to the market. The Company entered into this cost-share contract with DOE as a critical first step on the road back to the commercial production of enriched uranium, which the Company had terminated in 2013 with the closure of the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Facility. The HALEU Contract, once fully implemented, will result in the Company having demonstrated the capability to enrich uranium to the 19.75 percent concentration in the uranium -235 isotope that is required by many of the advanced reactor concepts now under development. Moreover, by 2022 the Company expects to have secured an NRC license for production on 19.75 percent HALEU, opening the door to the possibility of significant sales of HALEU to both commercial and government customers. In the latter category, the Company is closely following the implementation of Project Pele, which is supporting the development of micro-nuclear power plants, which in time could provide a significant source of demand for HALEU-based nuclear fuel.
We lease facilities and related personal property in Piketon, Ohio from DOE. In connection with the HALEU Contract, DOE and Centrus renewed the lease agreement in 2019 and extended the lease term through May 31, 2022. Any facilities or equipment constructed or installed under contract with DOE will be owned by DOE, may be returned to DOE in an “as is” condition at the end of the lease term, and DOE would be responsible for its D&D. If we determine the equipment and facilities may benefit Centrus after completion of the HALEU Contract, we can extend the facility lease and ownership of the equipment will be transferred to us, subject to mutual agreement regarding D&D and other issues.
In the event that funding by the U.S. government for research, development and demonstration of gas centrifuge technology is reduced or discontinued, such actions may have a material adverse impact on our ability to deploy the American Centrifuge technology and on our liquidity.

Capital expenditures of approximately $2 to $3 million are anticipated over the next 12 months.
The change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash from our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows are as follows on a summarized basis (in millions):

| Six Months Ended June 30,
| 2020 |  | 2019
Cash used in operating activities | $ | (8.4 | ) |  | $ | (45.1 | )
Cash provided by investing activities | (0.1 | ) |  | 0.5 |
Cash used in financing activities | (2.9 | ) |  | (3.1 | )
Decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | (11.4 | ) |  | $ | (47.7 | )

Operating Activities
In the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $8.4 million. The net reduction of $19.3 million in deferred revenue and advances from customers reflects revenue recognized in the current period related to payments received in advance in a prior period. Uses of cash are reflected in the decrease in pension and postretirement benefit liabilities of $16.6 million and the increase in accounts receivable of $10.1 million. The uses of cash were partially offset by net income of $45.0 million in the six-month period, net of non-cash expenses, including the $32.4 million in income on recovery of bankruptcy court claims.
In the corresponding period in 2019, net cash used in operating activities was $45.1 million. Sources of cash included the net reduction in receivables of $24.6 million in the six-month period. The net reduction of $31.1 million in the SWU purchase payables balance, due to the timing of purchase deliveries, was a significant use of cash in the period. Uses of cash also included the net loss of $36.7 million in the six months, net of non-cash expenses.
Investing Activities
Capital expenditures were $0.1 million and $0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Sales of unneeded assets and property yielded net proceeds of $0.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. There were no sales of unneeded assets and property for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Financing Activities
In both the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, payments of $3.1 million of interest classified as debt are classified as a financing activity. Refer to Note 7, Debt, of the condensed consolidated financial statements regarding the accounting for the 8.25% Notes.
Working Capital
The following table summarizes the Company’s working capital (in millions):

| June 30, 2020 |  | December 31, 2019
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 119.3 |  |  | $ | 130.7 |
Accounts receivable | 31.2 |  |  | 21.1 |
Inventories, net | 75.4 |  |  | 58.9 |
Current debt | (6.1 | ) |  | (6.1 | )
Deferred revenue and advances from customers, net of deferred costs | (102.8 | ) |  | (122.2 | )
Other current assets and liabilities, net | (45.5 | ) |  | (49.6 | )
Working capital | $ | 71.5 |  |  | $ | 32.8 |

Capital Structure and Financial Resources
Interest on the 8.25% Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears as of February 28 and August 31 based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The 8.25% Notes are guaranteed on a subordinated and limited basis by, and secured by substantially all assets of, Enrichment Corp. The 8.25% Notes mature on February 28, 2027. Additional terms and conditions of the 8.25% Notes are described in Note 7, Debt, of the condensed consolidated financial statements and Note 9, Debt, of the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends of 7.5% per annum of the liquidation preference at origination of $104.6 million. We are obligated to pay cash dividends on our Series B Preferred Stock to the extent certain criteria are met and dividends are declared by the Board of Directors. We have not met these criteria for the periods from issuance through June 30, 2020, and have not declared, accrued or paid dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock as of June 30, 2020. Additional terms and conditions of the Series B Preferred Stock, including the criteria that must be met for the payment of dividends, are described in Note 16, Stockholders’ Equity, of the consolidated financial statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The nuclear industry in general, and the nuclear fuel industry in particular, are in a period of significant change. We are actively considering, and expect to consider from time to time in the future, potential strategic transactions, which at any given time may be in various stages of discussions, diligence or negotiation. If we pursue opportunities that require capital, we believe we would seek to satisfy these needs through a combination of working capital, cash generated from operations or additional debt or equity financing.
We are managing our working capital to seek to improve the long-term value of our LEU and technical solutions businesses and are planning to continue funding the Company’s qualified pension plans in the ordinary course because we believe that is in the best interest of all stakeholders. We expect that any other uses of working capital will be undertaken in light of these strategic priorities and will be based on the Company’s determination as to the relative strength of its operating performance and prospects, financial position and expected liquidity requirements. In addition, we expect that any such other uses of working capital will be subject to compliance with contractual restrictions to which the Company and its subsidiaries are subject, including the terms and conditions of their debt securities and credit facilities. We continually evaluate alternatives to manage our capital structure, and may opportunistically repurchase, exchange or redeem Company securities from time to time.
Commitments under Long-Term SWU Purchase Agreements
The Company purchases SWU contained in LEU from Russia supplied to us under a long-term agreement, as amended, signed in 2011 with the Russian government owned entity TENEX. Under a 2018 agreement, the Company will purchase SWU contained in LEU from Orano. Refer to Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, of the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
DOE Technology License
We have a non-exclusive license in DOE inventions that pertain to enriching uranium using gas centrifuge technology. The license agreement with DOE provides for annual royalty payments based on a varying percentage (1% up to 2%) of our annual revenues from sales of the SWU component of LEU produced by us using DOE centrifuge technology. There is a minimum annual royalty payment of $100,000 and the maximum cumulative royalty over the life of the license is $100 million. There is currently no commercial enrichment facility producing LEU using DOE centrifuge technology. We are continuing to advance our U.S. centrifuge technology that has evolved from DOE inventions at specialized facilities in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, with a view to deploying a commercial enrichment facility over the long term once market conditions recover.
38

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Other than outstanding surety bonds, our SWU purchase commitments and the license agreement with DOE relating to the American Centrifuge technology, there were no material off-balance sheet arrangements at June 30, 2020, or December 31, 2019.
New Accounting Standards
Reference is made to New Accounting Standards in Note 1, Basis of Presentation, of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for information on new accounting standards.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Centrus maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Centrus in reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
As of June 30, 2020, the end of the period covered by this report, our management performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in various pending legal proceedings, including the pending legal proceedings described below.
On August 30, 2013, the Company submitted a claim to DOE under the Contract Disputes Act for payment of $42.8 million, representing DOE’s share of pension and postretirement benefits costs related to the transition of employees at the former Portsmouth, Ohio, Gaseous Diffusion Plant (the “Portsmouth GDP”) to DOE’s decontamination and decommissioning contractor. On August 27, 2014, the DOE contracting officer denied the Company’s claim. As a result, the Company filed an appeal of the decision in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in January 2015. Centrus believes that DOE is responsible for a significant portion of any pension and postretirement benefit costs associated with the transition of employees at Portsmouth. The receivable for DOE’s share of pension and postretirement benefits costs has a full valuation allowance due to the lack of a resolution with DOE and uncertainty regarding the amounts owed and the timing of collection. While proceeding with litigation, the Company is still pursuing settlement.
On May 26, 2019, the Company, Enrichment Corp., and six other DOE contractors who have operated facilities at the Portsmouth GDP site (including, in the case of the Company, the American Centrifuge Plant site located on the premises) were named as defendants in a class action complaint filed by Ursula McGlone, Jason McGlone, Julia Dunham, and K.D. and C.D., minor children by and through their parent and natural guardian Julia Dunham (collectively, the “McGlone Plaintiffs”) in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division. The complaint seeks damages for alleged off-site contamination allegedly resulting from activities on the Portsmouth GDP site. The McGlone Plaintiffs are seeking to represent a class of (i) all current or former residents within a seven-mile radius of the Portsmouth GDP site and (ii) all students and their parents at the Zahn’s Corner Middle School from 1993-present. The complaint was amended on December 10, 2019 and on January 10, 2020 to add additional plaintiffs and new claims. On July 31, 2020, the court granted in part and denied in part the defendants’ motion to dismiss the case. The court dismissed ten of the fifteen claims and allowed the remaining claims to proceed to the next stage of the litigation process. The Company believes that its operations at the Portsmouth GDP site were fully in compliance with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s regulations. Further, the Company believes that any such liability should be covered by indemnification under the Price-Anderson Nuclear Industries Indemnity Act (“Price-Anderson Act”). The Company and Enrichment Corp. have provided notifications to DOE required to invoke indemnification under the Price-Anderson Act and other contractual provisions.
On June 28, 2019, the Company, Enrichment Corp. and four other DOE contractors who have operated facilities at the Portsmouth GDP site were named as defendants in a class action complaint filed by Ray Pritchard and Sharon Melick (collectively, the “Pritchard Plaintiffs”) in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division. The complaint seeks damages for alleged off-site contamination allegedly resulting from activities on the Portsmouth GDP site. The Pritchard Plaintiffs are seeking to represent a class of all current or former residents within a seven-mile radius of the Portsmouth GDP site. The Company believes that its operations at the Portsmouth GDP site were fully in compliance with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s regulations. Further, the Company believes that any such liability should be covered by indemnification under the Price-Anderson Act. The Company and Enrichment Corp. have provided notifications to DOE required to invoke indemnification under the Price-Anderson Act and other contractual provisions.
On November 27, 2019, the Company, Enrichment Corp. and six other DOE contractors who have operated facilities at the Portsmouth GDP site were named as defendants in a class action complaint filed by James Matthews, Jennifer Brownfield Clark, Joanne Ross, the Estate of A.R., and others similarly situated (the “Matthews Plaintiffs”), in the Common Pleas Court of Pike County, Ohio. On January 3, 2020, the complaint was removed to the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Ohio for adjudication. The complaint sought injunctive relief, compensatory damages, statutory damages, and any other relief allowed by law for alleged off-site contamination allegedly resulting from activities on the Portsmouth GDP site. The Matthews Plaintiffs expressly contended that
40

the ongoing and continuous releases that injured the Plaintiffs and Class Members were not “nuclear incidents” as that term is defined in the Price-Anderson Act, but rather “freestanding state law claims concerning traditional-style state regulation.” On July 27, 2020, the court granted the Company, Enrichment Corp. and the other defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint because the Matthews Plaintiffs had opted not to proceed under the Price-Anderson Act which preempts state law. The Company and Enrichment Corp. had provided notifications to DOE required to invoke indemnification under the Price-Anderson Act and other contractual provisions.
On May 15, 2020, the Company, Enrichment Corp. and six other DOE contractors who have operated facilities at the Portsmouth GDP site were named as defendant in a class action complaint filed by Ursula McGlone, Jason McGlone, L.M., G.M., B.M., E.M., and M.M., minor children by and through their parent and natural guardian, Ursula McGlone, Julia Dunham, K.D. and C.D., minor children by and through their parent and natural guardian, Julia Dunham, Adam Rider, Brittani Rider, M.R., C.R., L.R. and L.R., minor children by and through their parent and natural guardian, Brittani Rider, Ohio residents, on behalf of themselves individually and all others similarly situated (“Citizen’s Suit”) in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division. The complaint sought the imposition of civil penalties, requiring full abatement of endangerment, property remediation and injunctive relief for alleged off-site contamination allegedly resulting from activities on the Portsmouth GDP site. On July 27, 2020, the plaintiffs voluntarily filed a notice of dismissal without prejudice with the court. The Company and Enrichment Corp. had provided notifications to DOE required to invoke indemnification under the Price-Anderson Act and other contractual provisions.
On June 30, 2020, the Company, Enrichment Corp., six other DOE Contractors, U.S. Department of Energy and other government agencies were given notice of Ursula McGlone, Jason McGlone and Julia Dunham’s intent to file a citizen’s suit under the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act against the Company, Enrichment Corp. and six other DOE Contractors. The complainants will purportedly seek civil penalties and injunctive relief for alleged off-site contamination allegedly resulting from activities on the Portsmouth GDP site. As of this filing, neither the Company nor Enrichment Corp. have been served with the forthcoming complaint.
In June 2020, the Company’s subsidiaries, Enrichment Corp. and American Centrifuge Enrichment, LLC (collectively, the “Company Subsidiaries”) collected approximately $32.4 million as a recovery on claims filed in October 2018 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Ohio (the “Bankruptcy Court”) against each of FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company and FirstEnergy Nuclear Generation, LLC (collectively, the “FirstEnergy Contract Parties”). The claims related to damages arising from the rejection and breach of a long-term contract between the Company Subsidiaries and the FirstEnergy Contract Parties in connection with bankruptcy petitions filed by the FirstEnergy Contract Parties. The recovery resulted from a May 2020 stipulation, subsequently approved by the Bankruptcy Court, whereby the FirstEnergy Contract Parties and the Company Subsidiaries agreed that the claims of the Company Subsidiaries against the FirstEnergy Contract Parties will be allowed for all purposes as an allowed unsecured claim in the amount of $70 million. Pursuant to the approved stipulation, the Company Subsidiaries dismissed their appeal concerning the disallowance by the Bankruptcy Court of claims by the Company Subsidiaries under guaranties issued by affiliates of the FirstEnergy Contract Parties, and the successors to the FirstEnergy Contract Parties entered into a contract to purchase separative work units in the future from Enrichment Corp.
We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, other than the above, we do not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, results of operations or consolidated financial condition.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors described in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Restrictions on imports or sales of SWU or uranium that we buy from our Russian supplier could adversely affect profitability and the viability of our business, including new restrictions as a result of the expiration of the RSA or amendments to the RSA on terms unfavorable to us.
Our ability to place SWU or uranium we purchase into existing and future contracts with customers is subject to U.S. import limitations and, in some cases, terms of our contracts with customers preclude us from delivering SWU or uranium produced in the Russian Federation.
Sales of Russian SWU and uranium are more challenging than sales of non-Russian material because imports of Russian SWU and uranium are subject to import restrictions and some of our customers are unable or unwilling to accept Russian SWU and uranium. The majority of the LEU we use to fill existing contracts with customers is sourced from Russia under the Russian Supply Agreement and, at present, we expect that we will continue to source most of the LEU we deliver from Russia.
Specifically, imports of Russian LEU, including the LEU containing the SWU that we are obligated to purchase under the Russian Supply Agreement, are subject to quotas imposed under legislation enacted into law in September 2008, as well as quotas imposed under the RSA. Because we rely on these quotas to import the Russian LEU under the Russian Supply Agreement and because such quotas are not available to us directly, we are dependent upon an obligation of TENEX in the Russian Supply Agreement to grant us the right to use a portion of the quotas available to TENEX thereunder in order to import Russian LEU for sale in the United States. The quotas imposed under the 2008 legislation only run through 2020, and the RSA is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2020. While the end of quotas under the legislation and the expiration of the RSA would lift any further restriction on imports of Russian LEU, the Russian Supply Agreement does not include any provisions addressing additional or other restrictions on imports of Russian LEU or SWU that may be imposed after 2020. Accordingly, if such additional or other restrictions are imposed, we do not have any guarantee that those restrictions will not apply to the LEU we import under the Russian Supply Agreement.
It is likely that such restrictions will be imposed prior to the end of 2020. The RSA is subject to periodic review by the DOC and, as described in Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Market Uncertainties, on June 17, 2020, the DOC preliminarily found in the Second Administrative Review of the RSA that the RSA does not meet the applicable statutory requirements. A final determination in the Second Administrative Review is due to be issued by the DOC on October 5, 2020. If the DOC determines that (i) there is evidence of non-compliance with the RSA, and/or (ii) the RSA does meet the statutory requirements, the DOC could terminate the RSA, restart the antidumping investigation that the RSA suspended, and begin collecting cash deposits to cover applicable tariffs in excess of 115% of the value of imports of Russian uranium products, including the LEU that the Company imports into the United States under the Russian Supply Agreement. Further, these cash deposits could be applied retroactively to periods before the final determination, requiring Centrus to deposit cash equal to 115% of the value of Russian LEU imported under the Russian Supply Agreement during such periods. The requirement to post cash deposits and the potential duties due upon the conclusion of the antidumping investigation would make the LEU containing the SWU that we purchase under the Russian Supply Agreement too expensive to place into the U.S. market, and our ability to place Russian LEU outside of the U.S. is limited. Similarly, if cash deposits were to apply retroactively, the Company would not be able to mitigate these losses through purchases from alternative supplies. Because (i) the majority of the LEU we place into existing and future contracts with customers is sourced from Russia under the Russian Supply Agreement and (ii) a significant portion of our revenues result from the sale of the SWU contained in the Russian LEU we place in these contracts, the imposition of cash deposits and duties following a determination by the DOC to restart the antidumping investigation would result in significant financial losses to the Company and potentially result in our business no longer being viable.
42

In February 2019, the DOC formally opened negotiations with Rosatom with respect to a possible extension of the term of the RSA. In connection with these negotiations, the DOC is seeking a significant extension of the RSA. We are working with industry stakeholders and others to ensure that the extension will include sufficient quota to allow the Russian Supply Agreement to be fully implemented, but it is possible that the terms of the extension will not expressly protect our ability to import LEU under the Russian Supply Agreement or will not require that sufficient or any available quota be allocated to those imports. Because the Russian Supply Agreement does not stipulate what would happen if quotas or other restrictions are imposed post-2020, there is no assurance that the Company will be permitted to use any future quotas to import LEU under the Russian Supply Agreement post-2020. Further, even if TENEX were willing to grant the Company the right to use all or a portion of any new quotas, there is no assurance that the new quotas would be sufficient to cover all the LEU that the Company is required to order under the Russian Supply Agreement after 2020. And while the Company has asked the DOC to provide sufficient quota to cover our obligations under the Russian Supply Agreement, there is no assurance that the final terms of an extended RSA will include sufficient quota for the Russian Supply Agreement. Even if sufficient quota is granted to TENEX to cover the Russian Supply Agreement, TENEX may ultimately elect not to use that quota for the LEU under the Russian Supply Agreement.
Unless an RSA extension provides for sufficient quota or other relief that would allow Centrus to deliver in the United States substantially all of the Russian LEU that we procure under the Russian Supply Agreement (taking into account the foreign sales of Russian LEU that we may make without the use of quota), (i) our ability to meet all our commitments under our order book and to obtain new sales commitments would be substantially jeopardized, and (ii) our ability to earn revenues with the Russian LEU we are required to procure under the Russian Supply Agreement would be substantially reduced, or potentially eliminated. As a result, we would lose both the substantial majority of our revenues and market share to our competitors, while being required to continue making purchases of SWU from, and deliveries of natural uranium to, TENEX under the Russian Supply Agreement for LEU that we may be unable to sell on commercially reasonable terms or at all, resulting in significant financial losses to the Company and potentially resulting in our business no longer being viable.
In addition to the potential for quotas, duty deposits, or duties that might apply as results of an extended or
terminated RSA, other duties, sanctions and other trade restrictions could be applied to LEU and other forms of Russian uranium as a result of trade actions by the United States. For example, sanctions on Rosatom, TENEX or other Rosatom subsidiaries and affiliates could be imposed through new or existing legislation or as a result of sanctions imposed by the U.S. government under new or existing executive orders or regulations, and these sanctions would prevent or limit the ability of the Company to do business with these companies. Regardless of the reason for which they might be imposed, such quotas, duties, sanctions or other trade restrictions would affect Centrus’ sales of Russian uranium, SWU or LEU, which would adversely affect Centrus’ financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the viability of our business.
Duties or restrictions on imports or sales of SWU or uranium that we buy from foreign suppliers, or sanctions applicable to those suppliers or their affiliates, could adversely affect profitability and the viability of our business.
In addition to the risks associated with Russian SWU and uranium, there are risks that apply to all foreign-origin SWU or uranium that we may procure, including the potential for new duties, restrictions or sanctions on foreign origin products or services or the foreign entities that provide them. If as a result of such duties, restrictions or sanctions, we cannot purchase the SWU or uranium that we are committed to purchase from our foreign suppliers, or we cannot sell such SWU or uranium for consumption in the United States, we will have to sell the SWU or uranium for consumption outside the United States. Our ability to sell outside the United States is limited by policies of foreign governments or regional institutions governing purchases by utilities and other entities under their jurisdiction. In addition, foreign companies that take delivery of imported SWU or uranium from us in the United States may be unwilling to cooperate with us in meeting requirements under U.S. law providing that the imported material be re-exported within a fixed period of time.
43

Geopolitical events, including domestic or international reactions or responses to such events, as well as concerns about U.S. national security or other issues, could lead to U.S. or foreign government or international actions, including the imposition of sanctions, that could disrupt our ability to purchase, or to sell or make deliveries of LEU or other uranium products from, foreign suppliers, including, but not limited to, suppliers from Russia, or even to continue to do business with one or more of these suppliers or their affiliates.
Any of these quotas, duties, sanctions, or other trade restrictions could threaten our ability to fulfill our purchase commitments to our suppliers and our delivery commitments to customers, with adverse effects on our reputation, costs, results of operations, cash flows and long-term viability. Even in the absence of quotas, duties, sanctions, or other trade restrictions, customers may be unwilling to agree to purchase, or accept delivery of, foreign SWU or uranium. Accordingly, there is no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to sell or deliver, in or outside of the United States, the SWU or uranium we are obligated to purchase under the Russian Supply Agreement, the Orano Supply Agreement and other supply agreements. Inability to purchase, sell or deliver LEU, SWU or uranium for any reason, could adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the viability of our business.
All of these outcomes, individually and collectively, could cause us to incur significant financial losses, in addition to impeding or preventing us from fulfilling our existing contracts or winning new contracts, and adversely affect our profitability and the viability of our business.
