    Orano  101  0 Kommentare  Solid 2023 results and the start of a new development cycle

    Regulatory News:

    The Orano Board of Directors met yesterday and approved the financial statements closed on December 31, 2023. Commenting on the results, Nicolas Maes, Chief Executive Officer, said: “Thanks to its good results and in particular its continuous deleveraging over the past 6 years, Orano has put itself in working order to support the new nuclear energy prospects and meet the climate and sovereignty challenges. The decision to increase our enrichment production capacity is a concrete illustration of this, and foreshadows other development projects in our nuclear base, and our new activities in nuclear medicine and the battery value chain. Therefore, 2024 marks the start of a new cycle of development and investment in areas that are more essential and meaningful than ever.

    The financial indicators are defined in the financial glossary in Appendix 1 – Definitions.

    Backlog

    Order intake amounted to €9,016 million, of which 68% outside France. This performance confirms Orano’s good positioning in its markets with the renewal or signature of new multi-year long-term contracts in Mining and Front End, particularly following the contribution of additional production capacity in enrichment.

    Orano's backlog has thus increased to €30.8 billion at the end of 2023 (vs. €26.1 billion at the end of 2022). At end-2023, the backlog represents nearly 6.5 years of revenue.

    Revenue

    Orano's revenue reached €4,775 million in 2023 compared to €4,237 million in 2022 (+12.7%; +13.1% on a like-for-like basis). It benefited from favorable volume and price effects, particularly in the Front End, and from a good level of activity in the Back End.

    The share of revenue from export customers reached 49.7% in 2023 vs. 46% in 2022.

    • Mining Sector revenue amounted to €1,319 million, down -1.8% compared to 2022, (-1.0% on a like-for-like basis). The positive effects of the increase in uranium prices were offset by a less favorable backlog volume effect in 2023.
    • Front End revenue stood at €1,305 million, up +17.5% compared to 2022 (+17.2% on a like-for-like basis). In addition to a positive volume effect, market prices have risen.
    • Back End revenue, which includes the Recycling, Nuclear Packaging and Services, Dismantling and Services activities, as well as Projects, totaled €2,135 million, up 21.1% compared to 2022 (+21.6% on a like-for-like basis). This increase is due to a favorable volume effect for (i) Recycling activities, with an increase in production at the Melox plant and the unwinding of export contracts and (ii) Nuclear Packaging and Services activities.
    • Revenue from Corporate and other activities, which also includes Orano Med, was €17 million, compared to €21 million in 2022.

    Operating income

    Orano's operating income stood at €635 million, up by €126 million compared to 2022. This change can be analyzed by activity, as follows:

    • Lower operating income for the Mining Sector, which stood at €196 million, compared to €298 million in 2022. This decrease is due to (i) lower revenue, (ii) lower production volume at mining sites outside Canada and (iii) the increase in the cost of materials and energy. It is partly offset by positive price effects linked to the increase in uranium prices. It should be noted that operating income for 2023 was also impacted by a provision for risk in the event there is a prolonged situation in Niger.
    • An improvement in Front End operating income, which stood at €368 million, compared to €329 million in 2022. The favorable effects of (i) revenue growth and (ii) one-time income related to a reversal of a provision for impairment are partly offset by (iii) higher production costs due to the increase in energy costs and material purchases.
    • An improvement in Back End operating income, which stood at €122 million, compared to -€79 million in 2022. This change reflects the same effects as those recorded on revenue. In 2023, the operating income of the Recycling activity was at breakeven, benefiting from the good level of production at its plants.
    • A decrease in operating income for Corporate and other activities, which stood at -€50 million, compared to -€40 million in 2022. This change is mainly due to the increase in Orano Med’s development costs in accordance with its business plan.

    Adjusted net income attributable to owners of the parent

    Adjusted net income attributable to owners of the parent reflects Orano’s industrial performance independently of the impact of the financial markets on the return on earmarked assets (which must be appreciated over the long term) and of regulatory changes or of discount rates related to end-of- lifecycle commitments. The definition of adjusted net income attributable to owners of the parent is provided in Appendix 1 of this document.

    Adjusted net income attributable to owners of the parent was +€22 million in 2023, compared to +€176 million in 2022.

    Based on the operating income discussed above, adjusted net income attributable to owners of the parent is obtained by adding the following main items:

    • Adjusted financial income, which stood at -€392 million in 2023, compared with -€86 million in 2022. This unfavorable change is entirely due to the effects of changes in rates on the discounting of provisions for the end of long-term work.
    • The adjusted net tax expense of -€114 million, compared with -€136 million in 2022.
    • The net income attributable to non-controlling interests of +€105 million, compared to +€110 million in 2022.

    Net income attributable to owners of the parent

    Net income attributable to owners of the parent stood at +€217 million in 2023, compared to -€377 million in 2022.

    This improvement of €594 million is due to a highly favorable scissor effect on the return on earmarked end-of-lifecycle assets (positive in 2023 compared with negative in 2022), mitigated by an unfavorable effect of the change in discount rate between the two periods.

    The following table reconciles the adjusted net income attributable to owners of the parent with the reported net income attributable to owners of the parent by reintegrating the financial impacts related to end-of-lifecycle commitments:

    Operating cash flow

    Orano’s EBITDA stood at €1,228 million, up compared with 2022 when it was €1,095 million. This improvement of +€133 million is equivalent to the change in operating income, with largely the same effects. The EBITDA margin on revenue was 25.7% in 2023.

    The change in operational WCR was €250 million, i.e. a decrease of -€27 million compared with the already positive contribution of €277 million in 2022. This decrease is mainly due to larger purchases of materials in Mining and Front End, partly offset by higher pre-financing received on Back End export contracts.

    Net investments amounted to €815 million, compared to €754 million in 2022. Most of this €61 million increase is mainly due to the start of the George Besse II capacity extension project in the enrichment sector.

    Orano's operating cash flow stood at €663 million, up by +€45 million compared to 2022 with €618 million.

    Net cash flow from company operations

    Based on the operating cash flow, the net cash flow from company operations is obtained by adding:

    • Cash cost on financial transactions for -€168 million, down compared with 2022 (-€254 million) in connection with the reduction in the cash cost of debt and the early repayment in 2022 of a Mining customer advance;
    • cash consumption linked to end-of-lifecycle operations of -€98 million (compared with -€20 million in 2022). This increase is explained by contributions to dedicated funds, in particular to restore a 100% coverage rate of end-of-lifecycle commitments at the end of 2023 (compared to 96.4% at the end of 2022);
    • Taxes to be paid of -€60 million (compared to -€53 million in 2022); and
    • Other items, totaling -€90 million, down compared to 2022 (-€163 million), mainly due to changes in dividend payments to minority Mining partners and cash from foreign exchange hedging transactions.

    Net cash flow from company operations thus amounts to +€247 million as of December 31, 2023, compared to +€128 million in 2022.

    Net financial debt and cash

    As of December 31, 2023, Orano had €1.3 billion in cash, plus €0.2 billion in cash management current financial assets.

    This cash position of €1.5 billion was strengthened by an undrawn syndicated credit facility of €880 million, maturing at the end of May 2028. This credit facility is accompanied by a one-year extension option, exercisable in 2024. It should be noted that a first extension option exercised in 2023 was unanimously approved by the pool of 10 banks.

    The group’s net financial debt totaled €1.48 billion at December 31, 2023, compared with €1.68 billion at December 31, 2022.

    II. Events since the last publication

    • In September 2023, following the events of July 26 in Niger and the closure of the site's main supply corridor via Benin as a result of the ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) embargo, Somaïr gradually adjusted its work organization by bringing forward its ore processing plant maintenance activities and maintaining ore extraction activities at the mine for as long as possible. Supply security for Orano’s customers is always ensured thanks to the diversity of its supply sources. At the beginning of 2024, Somaïr is testing reliable alternative logistics solutions that comply with its operating rules to gradually restart its activities. The Cominak redevelopment project is continuing in accordance with the group’s commitments and schedule. It is 100% financed by the group. Studies are continuing on Imouraren.
    • On October 12, Orano and Erdenes Mongol LLC signed a memorandum of understanding for the development and commissioning of the Zuuvch-Ovoo uranium mine in Mongolia. The proposed investment agreement will define the basis of relations between Orano and the Mongolian government for several decades. In a context of strong uranium needs over the coming decades, Mongolia is positioning itself as a strategic player and a major contributor to the global climate effort.
    • On October 19, the Board of Directors approved the project to extend the production capacity of the Georges Besse II uranium enrichment plant at the Tricastin site (Drôme and Vaucluse). The investment, estimated at nearly €1.7 billion, will enable Orano to increase its production capacity by more than 30%, or 2.5 million SWUs. This project meets the demands of Orano’s customers to strengthen their security of supply. Production is scheduled to start in 2028.
    • October 24, Stellantis NV and Orano signed a memorandum of understanding to create a joint venture specializing in the recycling of batteries and end-of-life electric vehicle waste from large-scale factories in Europe and extended North America. The joint venture will be based on Orano’s innovative low-carbon technology, which recovers all materials from lithium-ion batteries and manufactures new cathode materials.
    • On November 27, Orano reached a major milestone with the commissioning of its two industrial pilots, which will test its process for recycling materials contained in electric vehicle batteries. The Orano battery recycling program received financial support from the France Relance plan, an additional subsidy from the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region and the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation program.
    • On December 8, on the occasion of the World Nuclear Exhibition (WNE), Orano entered into a partnership agreement with Ontario Power Generation (OPG) to supply enriched uranium to the SMR BWRX-300 reactor developed by the manufacturer GE Hitachi. With a capacity of 300 MWe, this is the first SMR project installed in Canada and for Orano the first contract to supply enriched uranium for this type of reactor.

    III. Financial outlook for 2024

    In a favorable market environment and a geopolitical context that remains uncertain, 2024 marks the beginning of a new development cycle for the group, with increasing support for new activities.

    In this context, Orano aims in 2024 for:

    • stable revenue at around €4.8 billion, a high level in line with backlog momentum;
    • an EBITDA margin on revenue between 22% and 24%, including increased support for the development of new activities;
    • positive net cash flow while ensuring the ramp-up of the investment program.

    Appendix 1 - Definitions

    • Like-for-like: at constant exchange rates and consolidation scope.
    • Net operating working capital requirement (Net operating WCR):

    Net operating WCR represents all of the current assets and liabilities related directly to operations. It includes the following items:

    • net inventories and work in progress;
    • net trade accounts receivable and related accounts;
    • contract assets;
    • advances paid;
    • other accounts receivable, accrued income and prepaid expenses;
    • less: trade payables and related accounts, contract liabilities and accrued liabilities.

    Note: Operating WCR does not include non-operating receivables and payables such as income tax liabilities, amounts receivable on the sale of non-current assets, and liabilities in respect of the purchase of non-current assets.

    • Backlog:

    The backlog is determined on the basis of firm orders, excluding unconfirmed options, using the contractually set prices for the fixed component of the backlog and, for the variable component, the market prices based on the forecast price curves prepared and updated by Orano. Orders in hedged foreign currencies are valued at the rate hedged. Non-hedged orders are valued at the rate in effect on the last day of the period. With respect to long-term contracts in progress at the closing date, for which revenue is recognized in accordance with the percentage-of-completion, the amount included in the backlog corresponds to the difference between the forecast revenue of the contract at completion and the revenue already recognized for this contract; it therefore includes indexation assumptions and contract price revision assumptions taken into account by the group to value the forecast revenue at completion.

    • Net cash flow from company operations:

    Net cash flow from company operations is equal to the sum of the following items:

    • operating cash flow;
    • cash flow from end-of-lifecycle operations;
    • change in non-operating receivables and liabilities;
    • repayment of lease liabilities;
    • financial income;
    • tax on financial income;
    • dividends paid to minority shareholders of consolidated subsidiaries;
    • net cash flow from operations sold, discontinued and held for sale, and cash flow from the sale of those operations;
    • acquisitions and disposals of current and non-current financial assets, with the exception of bank deposits held for margin calls on derivative instruments or collateral backed by structured financing and cash management financial assets.

    The net cash flow from company operations thus corresponds to the change in net debt (i) with the exception of transactions with the shareholders of Orano SA, accrued interest not yet due for the financial year and currency translation adjustments, and (ii) including accrued interest not yet due for financial year N-1.

    • Operating cash flow (OCF):

    Operating cash flow (OCF) represents the amount of cash flows generated by operating activities before corporate taxes and taking into account the cash flows that would have occurred in the absence of offsetting between the payment of income taxes and the repayment of the research tax credit receivable. It is equal to the sum of the following items:

    • EBITDA;
    • plus the decrease or minus the increase in operating working capital requirement between the beginning and the end of the period (excluding reclassifications, currency translation differences and changes in consolidation scope);
    • minus acquisitions of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, net of changes in accounts payable related to fixed assets;
    • plus proceeds from disposals of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets included in operating income, net of changes in receivables on the disposal of non-current assets;
    • plus prepayments received from customers during the period on non-current assets;
    • plus acquisitions (or disposals) of consolidated companies (excluding equity associates), net of the cash acquired.
    • Net debt:

    Net debt is defined as the sum of all short and long-term borrowings, less cash and cash equivalents, financial instruments recorded on the assets side of the balance sheet including borrowings, bank deposits constituted for margin calls on derivative instruments and collateral backed by structured financing and cash management financial assets.

    • EBITDA:

    EBITDA is equal to operating income restated for net depreciation, amortization and operating provisions (excluding net impairment of current assets) as well as net gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, gains and losses on asset leases and effects of takeovers and losses of control. EBITDA is restated as follows:

    1. to reflect the cash flows related to employee benefits (benefits paid and contribution to coverage assets) in lieu of the service cost recognized;
    2. exclude the cost of end-of-lifecycle operations for the group’s nuclear facilities (dismantling, retrieval and conditioning of waste) carried out during the financial year.
    • Cash flows from end-of-lifecycle operations:

    This indicator encompasses all of the cash flows linked to end-of-lifecycle operations and to assets earmarked to cover those operations. It is equal to the sum of the following items:

    • revenue from the portfolio of earmarked assets, cash from disposals of earmarked assets;
    • full and final payments received for facility dismantling;
    • minus acquisitions of earmarked assets;
    • minus cash spent during the year on end-of-lifecycle operations;
    • minus full and final payments paid for facility dismantling.
    • Adjusted net income attributable to owners of the parent:

    This indicator is used to reflect Orano’s industrial performance independently of the impact of financial markets and regulatory changes in respect of end-of-lifecycle commitments. It comprises net income attributable to owners of the parent, adjusted for the following items:

    • return on earmarked assets;
    • impact of changes in discount and inflation rates;
    • unwinding expenses on end-of-lifecycle operations (regulated scope);
    • significant impacts of regulatory changes on end-of-lifecycle commitment estimates (adjustment impacting operating income);
    • related tax effects.
