2 of 6 Paladin Energy Ltd - FY2026 Financial Results Overview
26 August 2026
Financial Review
FY2026 financial performance reflected the successful ramp- up of LHM with higher uranium production and sales
volumes driving a significant increase in revenue. Sales revenue increased to US$304.3M (FY2025: US$177.7M),
supported by sales of 4.35Mlb U 3O8 at an Average Realised Price of US$70.0/lb. Cost of sales increased to
US$250.0M (FY2025: US$191.7M).
The improved operating performance resulted in a gross profit of US$52.2M, compared with a gross loss of
US$26.1M in FY2025.
Net loss after tax improved to US$9.1M, compared with a loss of US$76.5M in FY2025. The improvement was driven
by stronger earnings contribution from LHM, partially offset by an US$8.6M increase in general administration costs
associated with the increased scale and complexity of the business, and a US$6.1M impairment of exploration
assets, US$5.7M of which relates to the rationalisation of Michelin Project tenements.
Total unrestricted cash and investments increased to US$265.0M at year end (30 June 2025: US$89.0M) and
comprised US$151.9M of cash and cash equivalents and US$113.0M of short-term investments.
The Company had an outstanding balance on the Term Loan Facility of US$32 million and an undrawn US$70 million
Revolving Credit Facility at 30 June 2026.

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 t his announcement as Non- IFRS Measures) to supplement analysis of its financial results and
operating performance. These Non- IFRS Measures do not have a standardised meaning prescribed by International
Financial Reporting Standards (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 i solation 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 is a Non -IFRS Measure that represents the average revenue received per pound of U3O8 sold
during a given period. It is calculated by dividing total revenue from U3O8 sales (before royalties and after any applicable
discounts) during the period by the total volume of U 3O8 pounds sold in the same period. This measure provides insight
into the actual pricing achieved under the Group’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
Group 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 price and the term price for uranium, and it
may vary significantly from period to period based on timing of deliveries, customer contract structures, and the prevailing
market conditions.
Revenue from the sale of U3O8 is reported in the Company’s financial statements under IFRS. The Average Realised Price
is derived directly from statutory revenue figures and disclosed sales volumes.
The table below reconciles the Average Realised Price for the twelve month period ended 30 June 2026 and 30 June
2025:
Year ended
30 June 2026
Year ended
30 June 2025
Sales revenue US$M 304.3 177.7
U3O8 sold Mlb 4.35 2.71
Average Realised Price US$/lb 70.0 65.7
Cost of Production
The cost of production, as disclosed in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, is calculated as the total direct
production expenditures incurred to produce U3O8 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 capital
and the impacts of any inventory impairments or impairment reversals. This measure helps users assess Paladin’s
operating efficiency.
Cost of Production per pound = Cost of production ÷ U3O8 pounds produced
The Cost of Production per pound is a unit cost measure that indicates the average production cost per pound of U 3O8
produced. The Cost of Production per pound is a Non- IFRS Measure that is widely used in the mining industry as a
benchmark of operational efficiency and cost competitiveness. Paladin’s Cost of Production per pound metric is calculated
using the cost of production as defined above (in US dollars) incurred during the period, divided by the total volume of U3O8
pounds produced in the same period. Management 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.
6 of 6 Paladin Energy Ltd - FY2026 Financial Results Overview
26 August 2026
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 per pound 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 U3O8 in the reporting period. All figures are in US$/lb U3O8. We provide this
information in good faith to enhance understanding of our operations; however, the IFRS financial statements (particularly
the Cost of Sales line in the Consolidated Income Statement) should be considered alongside this metric for a compl ete
picture of our cost structure.
The table below reconciles the Cost of Production per pound for the twelve month period ended 30 June 2026 and
30 June 2025:
Year ended
30 June 2026
Year ended
30 June 2025
Cost of production US$M 208.9 121.31
U3O8 produced Mlb 4.82 3.02
Cost of Production US$/lb 43.3 40.2
1 The cost of production for the three and twelve months ended 30 June 2025 excludes US$7.8M relating to the sale of inventory previousl y written down.
Net Cash/(Debt)
Net Cash/(Debt) is a non-IFRS liquidity measure that represents the excess of cash and cash equivalents over Debt Facility
balances. It is calculated as unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments less the face value of Debt
Facility balances (excluding capitalised transaction costs).
The Company uses Net Cash/(Debt) as an indicator of its net liquidity position at a point in time, providing a simple measure
of financial flexibility after accounting for existing Debt Facility obligations. This measure is useful to investors and analysts
because it isolates the Company's net cash or net debt balance, enabling better assessment of balance sheet strength and
funding capacity, particularly as it relates to capital allocation decisions and ability to finance operations and growth.
Net Cash/(Debt) is distinct from individual IFRS line items as it combines and offsets Debt Facility and cash balances into
a single figure. As such, it is classified as a Non-IFRS Measure.
The table below reconciles the Net Cash/(Debt) at the end of the twelve month period 30 June 2026 and 30 June
2025:
30 June 2026 30 June 2025
Cash and cash equivalents US$M 151.9 89.0
Short-term investments US$M 113.0 -
Debt Facility US$M (32.0) (86.5)
Net Cash/(Debt) US$M 233.0 2.5
