The drastic earnings miss in UEC's Q2 2024 can be attributed to Increased Operating Costs and Fair Value Loss on Equity Securities1.
UEC's operating costs for the quarter were $21.86 million, up from $12.14 million in the previous year. This increase is due to higher mineral property expenditures and general and administrative expenses. Additionally, the company reported a gross profit of $18.23 million for the quarter, compared to $0.02 million in the previous year. The improvement is due to increased sales of purchased uranium inventory. However, the net loss of $10.23 million for the quarter, compared to net income of $2.25 million in the same quarter of the previous year, indicates that the increase in operating costs and fair value loss on equity securities had a significant impact on the company's earnings1.
In summary, the drastic earnings miss in UEC's Q2 2024 was primarily caused by increased operating costs and fair value loss on equity securities.
