DECEMBER 2025 HALF YEAR FINANCIAL RESULTS OVERVIEW
Perth, Australia - Paladin Energy Ltd (ASX:PDN, TSX:PDN, OTCQX:PALAF) (“Paladin” or the “Company”) advises
that it has released its December 2025 Half Year Financial Accounts and Management Discussion and Analysis
(MD&A) for Paladin Energy Ltd and its controlled entities for the three and six month periods ended 31 December
2025 (“FY2026 Interim Financial Results”).
Half Year Highlights
• Revenue of US$138.3M driven by strong sales of 1.96Mlb U ₃O₈ at an average realised price of US$70.5/lb
U₃O₈1, reflecting the quality of the Langer Heinrich Mine (LHM) contract book and strengthening uranium
pricing environment
• Cost of sales totalled US$112.3M in the period, reflecting the continued ramp up of production at LHM
• Gross profit of US$26.0M for the period, a significant increase from previous period
• Net loss after tax of US$6.6M driven by the ongoing production ramp-up at LHM, business expansion following
the Fission Uranium Corp (now Paladin Canada Inc.) acquisition and TSX listing and financing activities
• Successful completion of a fully underwritten A$300M equity raising and a A$100M share purchase plan (SPP),
primarily to advance the development of the Patterson Lake South (PLS) Project towards a final investment
decision alongside the ongoing ramp up of the LHM
• Enhanced balance sheet following completion of the equity offering, and the restructure of the syndicated debt
facility with cash and investments of US$278.4M and an undrawn US$70M Revolving Credit Facility at year
end
“The first half of the year demonstrated strong and continually improving performance at Langer Heinrich Mine as
our team increased its knowledge and experience of how to optimise the production process, including the mining
activities that were gathering pace at the start of this financial year. With the remaining mining fleet arriving on site,
the foundations are now in place to successfully complete our ramp-up at Langer Heinrich Mine during the
remaining months of the year.
The half year results also highlight the robust financial position of Paladin Energy with increasing revenue from
strong sales augmented by a successful equity raising and a restructure of the debt portfolio that will enable us to
complete our ramp-up activities at the LHM and continue to progress the PLS Project in Canada, including our
winter drilling program.”
Paul Hemburrow
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer

Gross Profit US$M 26.0
Loss After Tax US$M (6.6)
LHM sold 1.96Mlb of U₃O₈ at an average realised price of US$70.5/lb, generating sales revenue of US$138.3M.
Cost of sales totalled US$112.3M, reflecting the continued ramp up of production, with a higher proportion of mined
ore fed into the plant resulting in higher production and sales volumes.
This resulted in an increased gross profit for the period of US$26.0M (H1FY2025: US$0.9M).
Net loss after tax of US$6.6M (H1FY2025:US$15.1M) was driven by the ongoing production ramp-up at LHM,
business expansion following the Fission Uranium Corp (now Paladin Canada Inc.) acquisition, TSX listing and
financing activities.
Financial Position
Total unrestricted cash and investments increased by 213% during the period to US$278.4M (30 June 2025:
US$89.0M), following the successful completion of a fully underwritten A$300M equity offering and a A$100M share
purchase plan (SPP) (both before transaction costs).
On 19 December 2025, Paladin completed the restructure of its Debt Facility with its lenders, Nedbank Ltd (acting
through its Nedbank Corporate and Investment Banking division), Nedbank Namibia Ltd and Macquarie Bank.
The restructure aimed to right-size the overall debt capacity, reducing it from US$150M to US$110M leveraging
Paladin’s enhanced liquidity position following the successful completion of the equity raise and SPP. The
restructure also reflects Paladin’s increasing maturity as a uranium producer as it continues to progress the ramp
up at LHM, while providing greater undrawn debt capacity and balance sheet flexibility.
The restructure provides Paladin with a US$110M Debt Facility including a US$40M Term Loan Facility (following
a repayment of US$39.8M as part of the restructure) and an undrawn Revolving Credit Facility of US$70M
(US$50M prior to the restructure). No additional debt was drawn during the period.

Non-IFRS measures
Paladin uses certain financial measures that are considered “non- IFRS financial information” within the meaning of
Australian securities laws and/or “non- GAAP financial measures” within the meaning of Canadian securities laws
(collectively referred to in this announcement as Non-IFRS Measures) to supplement analysis of its financial and operating
performance. These Non-IFRS Measures do not have a standardised meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may
not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
The Company believes these measures provide additional insight into its financial results and operational performance
and are useful to investors, securities analysts, and other interested parties in understanding and evaluating the
Company’s historical and future operating performance. However, they should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute
for information prepared in accordance with IFRS. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any
Non-IFRS Measures. The Non-IFRS Measures used in this announcement are described below.
Average Realised Price
Average Realised Price (US$/lb U3O8) is a Non-IFRS Measure that represents the average revenue received per pound
of uranium sold during a given period. It is calculated by dividing total revenue from U₃O₈ sales (before royalties and after
any applicable discounts) by the total volume of U ₃O₈ pounds sold. This measure provides insight into the actual pricing
achieved under the Company’s uranium sales contracts and spot sales during the reporting period, taking into account
the mix of base- escalated, fixed- price and market -related pricing mechanisms within contracts. The Company uses
Average Realised Price to assess revenue performance relative to market prices, contractual pricing structures, and
production costs. It is also a key measure used by investors and analysts to evaluate price exposure, contract
performance, and profitability potential.
It is important to note that Average Realised Price is distinct from both the spot market price and the term market price
for uranium, and it may vary significantly from quarter to quarter based on timing of deliveries, customer contract
structures, and the prevailing market environment.
Revenue from uranium sales is reported in the Company’s financial statements under IFRS. The Average Realised Price
is derived directly from IFRS revenue figures and disclosed sales volumes.

Cost of Production
The Cost of Production per pound represents the total production costs divided by pounds of U ₃O₈ produced. The Cost
of Production is calculated as the total direct production expenditures incurred during the period (including mining,
stockpile rehandling, processing, site maintenance, and mine-level administrative costs), excluding costs such as cost of
ore stockpiled, deferred stripping costs, depreciation and amortisation, general and administration costs, royalties,
exploration expenses, sustaining capit al and the impacts of any inventory impairments or impairment reversals. This
measure helps users assess Paladin’s operating efficiency.
Cost of Production per lb = Cost of Production ÷ U₃O₈ Pounds Produced.
Cost of Production is a unit cost measure that indicates the average production cost per pound of U ₃O₈ produced. This
is not an IFRS measure but is widely used in the mining industry as a benchmark of operational efficiency and cost
competitiveness. Paladin’s Cost of Production metric is calculated as the total direct production expenditures as defined
above (in US dollars) incurred during the period, divided by the volume of U ₃O₈ pounds produced in the same period.
The Company uses Cost of Production per pound to track progress of operational performance, to assess profitability at
various uranium price points, and to identify trends in operating costs. It is also a key metric for investors and analysts to
evaluate how efficiently the Company is producing uranium, independent of depreciation and accounting adjustments.
This measure allows stakeholders to monitor trends in direct production costs and to assess the Company’s operating
breakeven threshold relative to uranium market prices. Investors are cautioned that our Cost of Production metric may
not be comparable with similarly titled “C1 cash cost” metrics of other uranium producers, as there can be differences in
methodology (e.g., treatment of royalties or certain site costs). Paladin’s Cost of Production figure as defined above,
focuses strictly on the on-site cost to produce uranium concentrate in the current period. All figures are in US$/lb U ₃O₈.
We provide this information in good faith to enhance understanding of our operations; however, the IFRS financial
statements (particularly the Cost of Sales line in the income statement) should be considered alongside this metric for a
complete picture of our cost structure.

Net Cash/(Debt)
Net Cash/(Debt) is a non- IFRS liquidity measure that represents the surplus of cash and cash equivalents over total
interest-bearing debt. It is calculated by subtracting gross debt (including face value and accrued interest on borrowings)
from unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. The Company uses Net Cash/(Debt) as an indicator of the Company’s net
liquidity position at a point in time, providing a simple measure of financial flexibility after accounting for existing debt
obligations. This measure is us eful to investors and analysts because it isolates the Company's net cash or net debt
balance, enabling better assessment of balance sheet strength and funding capacity, particularly as it relates to capital
allocation decisions and ability to finance operations and growth.
Net Cash/(Debt) is distinct from individual IFRS line items as it combines and offsets gross financial liabilities and cash
balances into a single figure. As such, it is classified as a non-IFRS measure.
The table below reconciles the Net Cash/(Debt) at the end of the quarters ended 31 December 2025 and 30 June 2025:
