Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation These unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to interim financial information and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the summary of significant accounting policies included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on March 3, 2025. As of January 1, 2025, the Company became a U.S. Domestic Issuer, as defined by the SEC. Upon becoming a U.S. Domestic Issuer, and including the report herein, the Company has prepared its consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for all periods presented. In management’s opinion, the consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and operating results. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for twelve months ending December 31, 2025. These financial statements are presented in thousands of United States Dollars unless otherwise noted. There are certain disclosures where the Company discloses the amount in Canadian Dollar (“CAD,”) as this is the currency in which the instrument is denominated. Principles of Consolidation These financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. The Company consolidates entities that it controls due to ownership of a majority voting interest and consolidates variable interest entities (“VIEs”) when it is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company has a 70% interest in the Alta Mesa Central Processing Plant (“CPP”) and Wellfield project (“Alta Mesa” or the “Alta Mesa Project”) with Boss Energy Limited (“Boss” or “Boss Energy”) owning the remaining 30%. The Company retained control after Boss acquired their interest in February 2024. Alta Mesa is considered a VIE, with the Company being considered the primary beneficiary. As a result, the Company consolidates the operations of Alta Mesa with an offsetting non-controlling interest being recorded. Refer to Note 8 – Sale of Minority Interest in Alta Mesa for more information related to the Boss transaction. Non-controlling interests represent the portion of their equity which is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. These amounts are required to be reported as equity instead of as a liability on the consolidated balance sheets. Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation requires net income or loss from non-controlling interests to be shown separately on the consolidated statements of operations. Segments Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which discrete financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in making decisions regarding resource allocation and performance assessment. The Company’s CODMs is currently the Acting Chief Executive Officer. The Company has one operating segment and one reportable segment. This reportable segment relates to uranium extraction, recovery and sales of uranium from mineral properties along with the exploration, permitting and evaluation of uranium properties in the United States. The CODM assesses financial performance and decides how to allocate resources based on performance of mineral properties and the sale of uranium. Mineral Rights and Properties We have established the existence of mineralized materials for certain uranium projects, including our Rosita Uranium Project (“Rosita” or “Rosita Project”) and Alta Mesa Projects (collectively, the “ISR Mines Projects”). We have not established proven or probable reserves, as defined by S-K 1300, through the completion of a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study for any of the uranium projects we operate, including our ISR Mines Projects. As a result, and despite the fact that we commenced the extraction of mineralized materials at our ISR Mines Projects, we remain an Exploration Stage company, as defined by the SEC, and will continue to remain as an Exploration Stage company until such time that proven or probable reserves have been established. As an Exploration Stage company, expenditures relating to the acquisition of mineral rights are initially capitalized as incurred while exploration and pre-extraction expenditures are expensed as incurred until such time as we exit the Exploration Stage by establishing proven or probable reserves. Expenditures relating to exploration activities, such as drill programs to establish mineralized materials, are expensed as incurred. Expenditures relating to pre-extraction activities, such as the construction of mine wellfields, ion exchange (“IX”) facilities and disposal wells, are expensed as incurred until such time that proven or probable reserves are established for that project, after which expenditures relating to mine development activities for that particular project are capitalized as incurred. The Company presents construction and drilling costs within the exploration costs related to mineral properties in the investing cash flows section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. The remaining costs (e.g. maintenance and lease fees) are included in the operating cash flows section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. When the Company starts to extract mineral materials at our ISR Mines Projects, the capitalized costs are depleted over estimated mineral resources using the units-of-production method. Depletion costs are included in cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Areas requiring significant judgements, estimates and assumptions include the valuation of acquired mineral rights and properties and equity-accounted investments, existence of impairment indicators for the Company’s long-lived assets, valuation and measurement of impairment losses on mineral rights and properties, valuation of asset retirement obligations, and valuation of stock options, share purchase warrants and share-based compensation. Other areas requiring estimates include allocations of expenditures to inventories, depletion and amortization of mineral rights and properties and depreciation of property, plant and equipment. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions. Foreign Currency These financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise specified. The functional currency of enCore Energy Corp. is the Canadian Dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries is the U.S. Dollar based on the currency of the primary economic environment in which these subsidiaries operate. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined. Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items or on settlement of monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognized in other comprehensive loss in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss to the extent that gains and losses arising on those non-monetary items are also recognized in other comprehensive loss. When the non-monetary gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss, the exchange component is also recognized in profit or loss. On consolidation, the Company’s financial statements are translated into the presentation currency, being the U.S. Dollar. Assets and liabilities are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period in which they arise. Exchange differences are recognized in accumulated comprehensive loss as a separate component within equity. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits and term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. Restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents and is included in long-term assets. Restricted cash relates to collateralization of the Company’s performance obligations with an unrelated third party, also known as performance bonds. These funds are not available for the payment of general corporate obligations. The performance bonds are required for future restoration and reclamation obligations related to the Company’s operations. Refer to Note 9 – Asset Retirement Obligations and Restricted Cash. Inventories Inventories are uranium concentrates and converted products including chemicals and are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of converted products and uranium concentrates is based on the first in first out method. Cost includes direct materials, direct labor and operational overhead expenses. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. Consumable supplies and spares are valued at the lower of cost or replacement value. Marketable Securities Marketable equity securities consist of investments in publicly traded equity securities. The Company classifies and accounts for its marketable equity securities as available-for-sale. Subsequent to initial recognition, marketable equity securities are measured at fair value and changes therein are recognized as a component of other income (loss) in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations. Equity Method Investments Investments in an entity in which our ownership is greater than 20% but less than 50%, a 50/50 joint venture which the Company does not control, or an entity where other facts and circumstances indicate that we have the ability to exercise significant influence over its operating and financing policies, are accounted for using the equity method in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures. The Company accounts for equity method investments over which the Company exerts significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies through the fair value option of FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments. The fair value of the investee’s common shares is measured based on its closing market price. Subsequent to initial recognition, equity method investments are measured at fair value and changes therein are recognized as a component of other income (loss) in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation. Useful lives are based on the Company’s estimate at the date of acquisition and are depreciated straight-line as follows for each class of assets:
Category | Range
Uranium Plant | 15-25 years
Other Property Plant and Equipment | 3-5 years
Software | 2-3 years
Furniture | 3-5 years
Buildings | 10-40 years
Intangible Assets Intangible assets consist of a data access agreement and data purchases, which are definite- and indefinite-lived assets, respectively. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over 14 years on a straight-line basis. The Company reviews its definite-lived intangible assets for impairment when impairment indicators exist. When impairment indicators exist, the Company determines if the carrying value of its definite-lived intangible assets or asset groups exceeds the related undiscounted future cash flows. In cases where the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying value is written down to fair value. Fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. The Company assesses its indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment periodically to determine if any adverse conditions exist that would indicate impairment or when impairment indicators exist. The Company assesses its indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually by comparing the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets to their carrying value. There were no indicators of impairment as of June 30, 2025 or 2024. Impairment of Long-lived Assets The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Mineral rights and properties are monitored for impairment based on factors such as uranium prices, government regulations, our continued right to explore the area, exploration reports, assays, technical reports, drill results and its continued plans to fund exploration and development programs on the property. On each reporting date, the Company conducts a review of potential triggering events for all its mineral rights and properties. When events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable, the Company carries out a review and evaluation of its long-lived assets in accordance with its accounting policy. Impairment losses are recognized as part of operating losses in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations. Recoverability is measured by comparing the undiscounted future net cash flows to the net book value. When the net book value exceeds future net undiscounted cash flows, the fair value is compared to the net book value and an impairment loss may be measured and recorded based on the excess of the net book value over fair value. Fair value for mineral rights and properties prior to extraction is based on a combined approach of a discounted cash flow analysis and a market approach. Future cash flows are estimated based on quantities of recoverable mineralized material, expected uranium prices (considering current and historical prices, trends and estimates), production levels, operating costs, capital requirements and reclamation costs, all based on the life-of-mine project plans. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. The Company's estimates of future cash flows are based on numerous assumptions, and it is possible that actual future cash flows will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable minerals, uranium prices, production levels, costs and capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties. There were no indicators of impairment for long-lived assets as of June 30, 2025 or 2024. Operating Leases The Company accounts for office leases under FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases, which requires leases to be recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of more than 12 months. The Company recognizes in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and the right-of-use asset representing the right to the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of twelve months or less, the Company has made an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. The office leases all meet the definition of an operating lease. Income Taxes The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on differences between the financial statement carrying values of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases (temporary differences), and losses carried forward. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when the temporary differences are likely to reverse. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is included in operations in the period in which the change is enacted. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized. When the Company concludes that all or part of the deferred income tax assets are not realizable in the future, the Company makes an adjustment to the valuation allowance that is charged to income tax expense in the period such determination is made. Asset Retirement Obligations Various federal and state laws and regulations require our Company to reclaim the surface areas and restore underground water quality to the pre-existing quality or class of use after the completion of extraction. We recognize the present value of the future restoration and remediation costs as an asset retirement obligation in the period in which we incur an obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets. Asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) consist of estimated final well closure, plant and equipment decommissioning and removal and environmental remediation costs to be incurred by our Company in the future. The asset retirement obligation is estimated based on the current costs escalated at an inflation rate and discounted at a credit adjusted risk-free rate at inception. The asset retirement obligations are capitalized as part of the costs of the underlying assets and amortized over their remaining useful life. The asset retirement obligations are accreted to an undiscounted value until they are settled. The accretion expenses are charged to earnings and the actual retirement costs are recorded against the asset retirement obligations when incurred. Share-based Compensation We measure share-based awards, typically options, at fair value on the date of the grant and expense the awards over the requisite service period of employees, brokers or consultants. The fair value of these stock options is measured at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The share-based awards are equity-classified. Share-based compensation expense related to awards with only service conditions having a graded vesting schedule is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award were, in substance, multiple awards, while expense for all other awards are recognized on a straight-line basis. The Company’s estimates may be impacted by certain variables including, but not limited to, stock price volatility, employee stock option exercise behaviors, additional stock option grants, the Company’s performance and related tax impacts. Warrants Warrants that are issued with shares issued have the proceeds allocated between the shares and the warrants based on their relative fair value. The fair value of the warrants is measured at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the shares granted is based on the respective share’s publicly-traded market price. Warrants issued to brokers are measured at their fair value on the vesting date. The fair value of stock options and warrants issued to brokers are estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Financial Instruments Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the rights to receive or obligation to pay cash flows from the assets or liabilities have expired or been settled or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive loss (“FVTOCI”), or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of debt instruments is driven by the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Equity instruments that are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by instrument basis) to designate them at FVTOCI. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL. Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations in the period in which they arise. Revenue Recognition and Trade Receivables Our revenues are primarily derived from the sale of uranium that we either purchased from a third-party or recovered and extracted from the Company’s properties. The Company's sales of uranium concentrates are derived from contracts with major U.S. utilities. Revenue is recognized when delivery is evidenced by book transfer at the applicable uranium storage facility. The sales contracts specify the quantity to be delivered, the price, payment terms and the year of the delivery. Under these contracts, each product delivered to the customer represents a separate performance obligation. The Company's contracts with its customers include minimum quantities to be delivered over terms greater than one year and may include fixed prices, market-based prices, and other variable pricing. In many contracts the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation, having met the criteria to do so. Other contracts may require certain variable consideration to be estimated and constrained as part of the transaction price. Under the Company’s uranium contracts, it invoices customers after the performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, the Company’s uranium contracts generally do not give rise to contract assets or liabilities. The Company applies the optional exemption not to disclose the remaining transaction price that is variable and allocated to wholly unsatisfied future quantities. The Company expects to recognize revenue related to fixed and unconstrained variable consideration of $64,740 through December 31, 2027, and $269,000 thereafter under the non-cancelable portion of these contracts. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company evaluates its estimate of expected credit losses based on historical experience and current and forecasted future economic conditions for each portfolio of customers. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have an allowance for expected credit losses for trade accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have receivables from contracts with customers. Earnings/(Loss) per Share Basic earnings or loss per share includes no potential dilution and is computed by dividing the earnings or loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings or loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings or loss of our Company. Securities are excluded from the calculation of our diluted weighted average common shares outstanding if their effect would be anti-dilutive based on the treasury stock method or due to a net loss from continuing operations. Non-controlling Interests Non-controlling interests are measured at their proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date and are adjusted at each reporting date for the net income (loss) attributable to that non-controlling interest during that period. The difference between the cash received and the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets is attributed to additional paid-in-capital. Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280)-Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU enhances disclosure of significant segment expenses by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses regularly provided to the CODM, extends certain annual disclosures to interim periods, and permits more than one measure of segment profit or loss to be reported under certain conditions. The amendments are effective for the Company in years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASC 2023-07, effective January 1, 2024, and expanded its segment disclosure in Note 17 - Segments. In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740)-Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU requires additional quantitative and qualitative income tax disclosures to allow readers of the unaudited consolidated financial statements to assess how the Company’s operations, related tax risks and tax planning affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this effective December 31, 2024. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements.
