SASKATOON, Saskatchewan–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Cameco (TSX: CCO; NYSE: CCJ)<\/b> today reported its consolidated financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).<\/p>\n

\n\u201cOur year-to-date financial and operational performance reflects the value of aligning our marketing, operational and financial decisions with strengthening industry fundamentals,\u201d said Tim Gitzel, Cameco\u2019s CEO. \u201cOur second quarter financial results reflect normal quarterly variability, and while uranium production was impacted by challenging spring road conditions along our northern Saskatchewan supply routes, our annual production outlook remains unchanged.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAcross the nuclear fuel cycle, market conditions continued to improve during the first half of the year. The long-term uranium price strengthened further, supported by increased on and off-market contracting activity in the first half of the year as customers\u2019 increasingly focus on security of supply. Around the world, governments, utilities and energy-intensive industries have recognized nuclear energy\u2019s essential role in supporting energy security, national security and decarbonization objectives. Those objectives are translating into calls for the expansion of nuclear energy, declarations of government-enabled policy support, and continued improvements in public perception. In turn, we are seeing durable demand growth for the uranium and nuclear fuel services required to support these long-term structural drivers.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cOur contracting discipline remains a key competitive advantage. We continue to be patient and selective in committing supply, ensuring our contract portfolio supports long-term value creation while preserving exposure to improving market conditions. Combined with our flexible supply strategy, strong balance sheet and disciplined capital allocation framework, we believe this approach positions us well to manage risk while capturing opportunities as the market evolves.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe also continued to advance our strategy across the nuclear fuel cycle. The closing of our agreement to increase our ownership interest in the Cigar Lake Mine reinforces our commitment to own and operate scarce, world-class, proven tier-one assets that we expect to be essential in supporting future reactor growth. And, the conditional commitment by the US Department of Energy to support deployment of AP1000\u00ae <\/sup>reactors, as well as the Government of Canada\u2019s Nuclear Energy Strategy that was released in June, both highlight the growing importance of nuclear energy and the value of proven technologies and experienced industry participants.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cSafely operating complex, heavily regulated uranium mining and milling assets is never without challenges, particularly in the remote conditions of northern Saskatchewan. The flooding-related disruptions to our supply routes that we experienced during the quarter and the operational challenges that came subsequent to quarter-end, are good reminders of that reality. However, they also demonstrate the importance of maintaining operational flexibility and supply diversity, alongside a disciplined approach to risk management and a continual focus on value \u2013 capabilities developed through decades of operating experience and demonstrated every day by the credible, experienced teams we have across the company.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWith tier-one assets in stable jurisdictions, strategic investments across the nuclear fuel cycle, strong long-term customer relationships and a proven operating track record, we believe Cameco is uniquely positioned to support the continued growth of nuclear energy while creating sustainable long-term value for our shareholders, customers and communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
