FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part I, Item 2, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 - that is, statements related to future events. In this context, forward-looking statements may address our expected future business and financial performance, and often contain words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “will”, “should”, “could” or “may” and other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. For Centrus Energy Corp., particular risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual future results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements include, risks and uncertainties related to our emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, our resulting capital structure and the adoption of fresh start accounting; risks related to our significant long-term liabilities including material unfunded defined benefit pension plan obligations and postretirement health and life benefit obligations; risks related to the limited trading markets in our securities and risks relating to our ability to maintain the listing of our common stock on the NYSE MKT LLC; the continued impact of the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan on the nuclear industry and on our business, results of operations and prospects; the impact and potential extended duration of the current supply/demand imbalance in the market for low enriched uranium (“LEU”); risks related to the ongoing transition of our business, including the impact of our ceasing enrichment at and the de-lease and return to the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) of the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant and uncertainty regarding our ability to commercially deploy the American Centrifuge project; our dependence on deliveries of LEU from Russia under a commercial supply agreement (the “Russian Supply Agreement”) with the Russian government entity Joint Stock Company “TENEX” (“TENEX”); uncertainty regarding funding for the American Centrifuge project and the potential for a demobilization or termination of the American Centrifuge project if additional government funding is not provided following completion of the current agreement with UT-Battelle, LLC (“UT-Battelle”), the management and operating contractor for Oak Ridge National Laboratory (“ORNL”) for continued research, development and

demonstration of the American Centrifuge technology (the “ACTDO Agreement”); risks related to our ability to perform the work required under the ACTDO Agreement at a cost that does not exceed the firm fixed funding provided thereunder; uncertainty regarding the timing and structure of the U.S. government program for maintaining a domestic enrichment capability to meet national security requirements and our role in such a program; the impact of actions we have taken (including as a result of the reduction in scope of work under the ACTDO Agreement as compared to the scope of work under the prior agreement signed with DOE in June 2012 (the “Cooperative Agreement”)) or might take in the future to reduce spending on the American Centrifuge project, including the potential loss of key suppliers and employees and impacts to cost, schedule and the ability to remobilize for commercial deployment of the American Centrifuge Plant; the impact of nuclear fuel market conditions and other factors on the economic viability of the American Centrifuge project without additional government support and on our ability to finance the project and the potential for a demobilization or termination of the project; uncertainty regarding our ability to achieve targeted performance over the life of the American Centrifuge Plant which could affect the overall economics of the American Centrifuge Plant; uncertainty concerning the ultimate success of our efforts to obtain a loan guarantee from DOE and/or other financing, including intercompany funding from wholly owned subsidiary United States Enrichment Corporation (“Enrichment Corp.”), for the American Centrifuge project or additional government support for the project and the timing and terms thereof; the decline in our backlog and risks relating to the remaining backlog including uncertainty concerning customer actions under current contracts and in future contracting due to market conditions, the delay and uncertainty in deployment of the American Centrifuge technology and/or as a result of changes that may be required to such contracts due to our cessation of enrichment at Paducah; the dependency of government funding or other government support for the American Centrifuge project on Congressional appropriations or on actions by DOE or Congress; potential changes in our anticipated ownership of or role in the American Centrifuge project, including as a result of our role as a subcontractor to UT-Battelle or as a result of the need to raise additional capital to finance the project in the future; the potential for DOE to seek to terminate or exercise its remedies under the 2002 DOE-USEC agreement, or to require modifications to such agreement that are materially adverse to Centrus Energy Corp.’s interests; changes in U.S. government priorities and the availability of government funding or support, including loan guarantees; risks related to our ability to manage our liquidity without a credit facility; risks related to our ability to sell the LEU we procure under our purchase obligations under the Russian Supply Agreement including the allocation of quotas that limit our ability to import Russian LEU we purchase under the Russian Supply Agreement into the United States, trade barriers and contract terms that limit our ability to deliver this LEU to customers in other countries, and risks related to actions that may be taken by the U.S. government, the Russian government or other governments that could affect our ability or the ability of TENEX to perform under the Russian Supply Agreement, including the imposition of sanctions, restrictions or other requirements; risks associated with our reliance on third-party suppliers to provide essential services to us; the decrease or elimination of duties charged on imports of foreign-produced LEU; pricing trends and demand in the uranium and enrichment markets and their impact on our profitability; movement and timing of customer orders; changes to, or termination of, our agreements with the U.S. government; risks related to delays in payment for our contract services work performed for DOE, including our ability to resolve certified claims for payment filed by Enrichment Corp. under the Contracts Dispute Act; the impact of government regulation by DOE and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission; the outcome of legal proceedings and other contingencies (including lawsuits and government investigations or audits); the competitive environment for our products and services; changes in the nuclear energy industry; the impact of volatile financial market conditions on our business, liquidity, prospects, pension assets and credit and insurance facilities; revenue and operating results can fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, and in some cases, year to year; and other risks and uncertainties discussed in this and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made in this report and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business. We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q except as required by law.

CENTRUS ENERGY CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Centrus Energy Corp. (“Centrus” or the “Company”), which include the accounts of the Company, its principal subsidiary United States Enrichment Corporation (“Enrichment Corp.”) and its other subsidiaries, as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial results for the interim period. Certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

On March 5, 2014, USEC Inc. filed a voluntary petition for relief (the “Bankruptcy Filing”) under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Bankruptcy Filing was “pre-arranged” and included the filing of a proposed Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan of Reorganization”) supported by certain holders of the claims and interests impaired under the Plan of Reorganization. On August 18, 2014, the Company announced that the Plan of Reorganization was accepted by more than 99% in both value and number of votes cast of holders of its convertible notes and that both holders of the Company’s preferred equity voted in favor of the Plan of Reorganization. On September 5, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving and confirming the Plan of Reorganization. On September 30, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), the Company satisfied the conditions of the Plan of Reorganization and the Plan of Reorganization became effective. On the Effective Date, USEC Inc.’s name was changed to Centrus Energy Corp.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 852, Reorganizations, Centrus adopted fresh start accounting upon emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy resulting in Centrus becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. References to “Successor” or “Successor Company” relate to the financial position of the reorganized Centrus as of and subsequent to September 30, 2014 and results of operations subsequent to September 30, 2014. References to “Predecessor” or “Predecessor Company” relate to the Company prior to September 30, 2014. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization, the consolidated financial statements on or after September 30, 2014 are not comparable to consolidated financial statements prior to that date.

Expenses, gains and losses directly associated with reorganization proceedings are reported as Reorganization Items, Net, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued comprehensive new guidance for revenue recognition. The core principle of the new standard is that revenue should be recognized when an entity transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard will supersede current guidance in effect and may require the use of more judgment and estimates, including estimating the amount of variable revenue to recognize over each identified performance obligation. The new standard requires additional disclosures to describe

the nature, amount and timing of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard by one year. The new standard will become effective for Centrus beginning with the first quarter of 2018 and can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Centrus is evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The new guidance requires the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of a deferred charge asset. Debt disclosures will include the face amount of the debt liability and the effective interest rate. The new guidance requires retrospective application and is effective for Centrus beginning with the first quarter of 2016. Early adoption is permitted. Centrus is evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued guidance to eliminate the requirement to categorize investments in the fair value hierarchy table for which the fair value is measured at net asset value (“NAV”) per share as a practical expedient. The new guidance requires retrospective application and is effective for Centrus beginning in the first quarter of 2016. Earlier adoption is permitted. Centrus adopted in the current quarter and no longer categorizes money market funds in the fair value hierarchy table in Note 9. The Company’s investments in money market funds are included in cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheet. The new guidance only impacts the Company’s fair value measurement disclosures and did not affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventories by replacing the current valuation test (lower of cost or market) with a lower of cost or net realizable value (“NRV”) test. The new test is applicable for certain inventory costing methods including the monthly moving average cost method used by Centrus. NRV is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Under former guidance, NRV was one of several determinations used to assess market values. The new guidance is effective for Centrus beginning in the first quarter of 2017 and earlier adoption is permitted. Under current guidance, NRV has been the determining factor in assessing the market value for the Company’s principal inventory, the separative work unit (“SWU”) component of low enriched uranium (“LEU”). The Company does not expect the adoption of the new guidance will have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

2. TRANSITION CHARGES

Direct Charges

The Company ceased uranium enrichment at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (the “Paducah GDP”) at the end of May 2013 and subsequently completed transferring its inventory to off-site licensed locations to meet future customer orders. On October 21, 2014, all of the leased portions of the Paducah GDP were de-leased and returned to the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”). Pursuant to a June 2014 agreement with DOE, the lease terminated with respect to the Paducah GDP on August 1, 2015. The termination of the lease with respect to the Paducah GDP does not affect the Company’s right to lease portions of the DOE-owned site in Piketon, Ohio needed for the American Centrifuge program. The USEC Privatization Act and the lease for the plant provide that DOE remains responsible for decontamination and decommissioning of the Paducah GDP site.

As the Company accelerated the expected productive life of plant assets and ceased uranium enrichment at the Paducah GDP, the Company has incurred a number of expenses unrelated to production that have been charged directly to cost of sales. Direct charges totaled $3.9 million and $8.6 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and $14.3 million and $49.2 million in the corresponding periods in 2014 as follows:

Operating expenses of $3.9 million and $8.3 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $8.7 million and $35.7 million in the corresponding periods in 2014. Charges in 2015 include off-site inventory management and logistics costs. Charges in 2014 include inventory management and disposition, ongoing regulatory compliance, utility requirements for operations, security, and other Paducah site management activities related to the transitioning of facilities and infrastructure to DOE;

Inventory charges of $0 and $0.3 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $5.1 million and $11.7 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, including the cost of inventories deployed for cascade drawdown, assay blending and repackaging, and residual uranium in cylinders transferred to DOE. The Company determined that it was uneconomic to recover resulting residual quantities for resale; and


-	Paducah GDP asset depreciation charges of $0.5 million and $1.8 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Paducah GDP asset depreciation was completed as of June 30, 2014.

Special Charges for Workforce Reductions

The cessation of enrichment at the Paducah GDP and evolving business needs have resulted in workforce reductions since July 2013. DOE’s liability for its share of Paducah employee severance paid by the Company is pursuant to the USEC Privatization Act.

3. ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY COSTS AND OTHER INCOME

From June 2012 through April 2014, the Company performed work under the June 2012 cooperative agreement with DOE (the “Cooperative Agreement”) for the American Centrifuge technology with cost-share funding from DOE. The Cooperative Agreement provided for 80% DOE and 20% Company cost sharing for work performed up to a total government cost share of $280 million. The Cooperative Agreement expired in accordance with its terms on April 30, 2014. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, advanced technology costs included costs for work performed under the Cooperative Agreement and DOE’s cost share was recognized as other income.

On May 1, 2014, the Company signed an agreement for continued research, development and demonstration of the American Centrifuge technology in furtherance of DOE’s national security objectives (the “American Centrifuge Technology Demonstration and Operations Agreement”, or “ACTDO Agreement”) with UT-Battelle, LLC (“UT-Battelle”), the management and operating contractor for Oak Ridge National Laboratory (“ORNL”). The scope of the overall work under the ACTDO Agreement is reduced from the scope of work that was being conducted by the Company under the Cooperative Agreement. Revenue and cost of sales for work that Centrus performs under the fixed-price ACTDO Agreement as a subcontractor to UT-Battelle are reported in the contract services segment.

American Centrifuge costs incurred by the Company that are outside of the ACTDO Agreement are included in advanced technology costs, including certain demobilization and maintenance costs. Such costs totaled $4.0 million in the three months and $5.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015, and $7.0 million in May-June 2014.

4. RECEIVABLES

	(millions)
Utility customers and other	$	11.9	$	36.3
Contract services, primarily DOE	15.2		22.6
Accounts receivable, net	$	27.1	$	58.9

Accounts receivable are net of valuation allowances and allowances for doubtful accounts totaling $0.6 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Certain overdue receivables from DOE are included in other long-term assets based on the extended timeframe expected to resolve claims for payment. The Company has filed claims with DOE for payment under the Contract Disputes Act (“CDA”). Unpaid invoices to DOE related to filed claims totaled approximately $75 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Due to the lack of a resolution with DOE and uncertainty regarding the timing and amount of future collections, the long-term receivable for accounting purposes is $19.9 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Centrus has unapplied payments from DOE that may be used, at DOE’s direction, (a) to pay for future services provided by the Company or (b) to reduce outstanding receivables balances due from DOE. The payments balance of $19.5 million as of June 30, 2015 and $19.6 million as of December 31, 2014 is included in other long-term liabilities pending resolution of the long-term receivables from DOE described above.

5. INVENTORIES

Centrus holds uranium at licensed locations in the form of natural uranium and as the uranium component of low enriched uranium (“LEU”). Centrus holds separative work units (“SWU”) as the SWU component of LEU. Centrus may also hold title to the uranium and SWU components of LEU at fabricators to meet book transfer requests by customers. Fabricators process LEU into fuel for use in nuclear reactors. Components of inventories follow (in millions):



	June 30, 2015							December 31, 2014
	Current Assets		Current Liabilities (a)		Inventories, Net			Current Assets		Current Liabilities (a)		Inventories, Net
Separative work units	$	285.7	$	99.1	$	186.6		$	330.6	$	76.6	$	254.0

	$	384.8	$	199.6	$	185.2		$	462.2	$	158.9	$	303.3


(a)	Inventories owed to customers and suppliers, included in current liabilities, consist primarily of SWU and uranium inventories owed to fabricators.

Uranium Provided by Customers and Suppliers

Centrus held uranium with estimated values of approximately $0.5 billion as of June 30, 2015 and $0.6 billion as of December 31, 2014 to which title was held by customers and suppliers and for which no assets or liabilities were recorded on the balance sheet. While in some cases Centrus sells both the SWU and uranium components of LEU to customers, utility customers typically provide uranium to Centrus as part of their enrichment contracts. Title to uranium provided by customers generally remains with the customer until delivery of LEU at which time title to LEU is transferred to the customer, and title to uranium is transferred to Centrus.

7. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets represent the fair value adjustment to the assets and liabilities for the Company’s LEU segment resulting from the Company’s reorganization and application of fresh start accounting as of September 30, 2014. The amortizable intangible assets relate to backlog and customer relationships. The excess of the reorganization value over the fair value of identified tangible and intangible assets is reported separately on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The backlog intangible asset is amortized as backlog valued at emergence is reduced, principally as a result of deliveries to customers. The customer relationships intangible asset is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated average useful life of 15 years. Amortization expense is presented below gross profit on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.



	June 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
	(millions)
Amortizable intangible assets:
Backlog	$	54.6		$	54.6

8. DEBT

On the Effective Date and pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, all of the Company’s convertible senior notes that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date were cancelled and the Company issued 8.0% paid-in-kind toggle notes (the “PIK Toggle Notes”) pursuant to the Indenture. The PIK Toggle Notes were issued in an initial aggregate principal amount of $240.4 million. No cash was received related to the issuance. The principal amount may be increased by any payment of interest in the form of PIK payments, as elected by the Company.

The PIK Toggle Notes pay interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Company has elected to pay 3.0% per annum of interest due on the PIK Toggle Notes for the interest periods ending on March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 in the form of PIK payments. As such, interest for the semi-annual period ended March 31, 2015 was paid as $6.0 million in cash and $3.6 million in PIK payments, and the principal balance increased accordingly to $244.0 million. Total interest payable at June 30, 2015 is $4.9 million, of which the expected cash portion of $3.1 million is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the expected PIK portion of $1.8 million is included in other long-term liabilities.

For any interest payment date from October 1, 2015 through the maturity of the PIK Toggle Notes, the Company has the option to pay up to 5.5% per annum of interest due on the PIK Toggle Notes in the form of PIK payments.

The PIK Toggle Notes will mature on September 30, 2019. However, the maturity date can be extended to September 30, 2024 upon the satisfaction of certain funding conditions described in the Indenture relating to the funding, under binding agreements, of (i) the American Centrifuge project or (ii) the implementation and deployment of a National Security Train Program utilizing American Centrifuge technology.

The PIK Toggle Notes rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company (other than the Issuer Senior Debt as defined below) and are senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company. The PIK Toggle Notes are subordinated in right of payment to certain indebtedness and obligations of the Company described in the Indenture (the “Issuer Senior Debt”), including (i) any indebtedness of the Company under a future credit facility, (ii) obligations of, and claims against, the Company under any equity investment (or any commitment to make an equity investment) with respect to the financing of the American Centrifuge project, (iii) obligations of, and claims against, the Company under any arrangement with DOE, export credit agencies or any other lenders or insurers with respect to the financing or government support of the American Centrifuge project and (iv) indebtedness of the Company to Enrichment Corp. under the Centrus Intercompany Note.

The Company incurred offering expenses of $0.7 million related to the issuance of the PIK Toggle Notes. These costs are deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the life of the PIK Toggle Notes. The deferred financing cost balance, included in other long-term assets, was $0.6 million at June 30, 2015.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Pursuant to the accounting guidance for fair value measurements, fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, consideration is given to the principal or most advantageous market and assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value:


•	Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•

Level 2 – inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.


•	Level 3 – unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists.

Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value (in Millions)



	June 30, 2015						December 31, 2014
	Level 1	Level 2		Level 3	Total		Level 1	Level 2		Level 3	Total
Assets:
Deferred compensation asset (a)	—	$	1.4	—	$	1.4	—	$	3.2	—	$	3.2

Liabilities:
Deferred compensation obligation (a)	—	1.1		—	1.1		—	3.0		—	3.0

(a)

The deferred compensation obligation represents the balance of deferred compensation plus net investment earnings. The deferred compensation plan is informally funded through a rabbi trust using variable universal life insurance. The cash surrender value of the life insurance policies is designed to track the deemed investments of the plan participants. Investment crediting options consist of institutional and retail investment funds. The deemed investments are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy because (i) of the indirect method of investing and (ii) unit prices of institutional funds are not quoted in active markets.

There have been no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3 during the periods presented.

Other Financial Instruments

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the balance sheet carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities (excluding the deferred compensation obligation described above), and payables under SWU purchase agreements approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of the instruments.

The estimated fair value of the PIK Toggle Notes was $96.7 million at June 30, 2015 and $121.2 million at December 31, 2014 based on the most recent trading prices as of the balance sheet date (Level 1).

10. PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT HEALTH AND LIFE BENEFITS

The components of net periodic benefit cost (credit) for the pension plans were as follows (in millions):



	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

Centrus contributed $7.4 million to the non-qualified defined benefit pension plans in the six months ended June 30, 2015, and expects to contribute less than $1.0 million in the remainder of 2015. The Company does not expect there to be a required contribution for the qualified defined benefit pension plans in 2015, and therefore, does not expect to contribute in 2015. There is no required contribution for the postretirement health and life benefit plans under Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”), and the Company does not expect to contribute in 2015.

Lump-sum payments in the six months ended June 30, 2015 to former employees including those affected by workforce reductions totaled $7.3 million for the non-qualified defined benefit pension plans and $3.1 million for the Employees’ Retirement Plan of Centrus Energy Corp. Under settlement accounting rules, these payments resulted in the remeasurement of pension obligations for these plans as of June 30, 2015. The interim remeasurement was required since the payments exceeded the sum of the service cost and interest cost components of the annual net periodic benefit cost for each plan for the current year. Lump-sum payments to employees in the Retirement Program Plan for Employees of United States Enrichment Corporation totaled $37.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 and did not meet the settlement accounting threshold for that plan.

The remeasurement of pension obligations as of June 30, 2015 resulted in a gain of $3.9 million included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. The discount rate used in the measurement of pension obligations for the affected plans increased from approximately 4.1% as of December 31, 2014 to approximately 4.5% as of June 30, 2015. Effective with the adoption of fresh start accounting as of September 30, 2014, Centrus immediately recognizes actuarial gains and losses in the statement of operations in the period in which they arise.

Other Plan Update

The opportunity to participate in the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan was reactivated in June 2015 allowing deferrals beginning in July 2015. Enrollment in the plan had been suspended since January 2013. Qualified employees may defer compensation on a tax-deferred basis subject to plan limitations. Any matching contributions under the Company’s 401(k) plan that are foregone due to annual compensation limitations of the Internal Revenue Code are eligible to be received from the Company under the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, provided that the employee deferred the maximum allowable pre-tax contribution in the 401(k) plan.

11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

A summary of stock-based compensation costs related to the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan and expired plans follows (in millions):



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	Successor		Predecessor		Successor		Predecessor
	2015		2014		2015		2014

Total stock-based compensation costs:
Restricted stock and restricted stock units	$	—	$	0.2	$	0.1	$	0.5
Stock options, performance awards and other	0.1		—		0.1		—
Expense included primarily in selling, general and administrative expense	$	0.1	$	0.2	$	0.2	$	0.5

Total recognized tax benefit	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—

As of June 30, 2015, there was $1.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, of which $0.8 million relates to stock options and $0.2 million relates to unvested restricted stock units. Unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3 years.

Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and is recognized over the vesting period. Stock options vest and become exercisable in equal annual installments over a three or four year period and expire 10 years from the date of grant.

There were 300,000 options granted in the six months ended June 30, 2015. There were no option grants in the six months ended June 30, 2014. Assumptions used to value option grants in the six months ended June 30, 2015 follow:



Risk-free interest rate	1.91%
Expected volatility	75%
Expected option life (years)	6
Weighted-average grant date fair value	$2.89

12. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding any unvested restricted stock. In calculating diluted net income per share, the numerator is increased by interest and dividends on potentially dilutive securities, net of tax, and the denominator is increased by the weighted average number of shares resulting from potentially dilutive securities, assuming full conversion.

Net (loss) per share information reported for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 is not comparative to the corresponding periods in 2014 as a result of the emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy and the application of fresh start accounting. On the Effective Date, all debt and stock of the Predecessor Company were cancelled and new debt and stock for the Successor Company were issued.

The tax rate is the statutory rate. However, no dilutive effect is recognized in a period in which a net loss has occurred.


(b)	Compensation awards under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan resulted in common stock equivalents of less than 0.1 million shares of common stock and are excluded from the diluted calculation as a result of net losses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.


(c)	Conversion of the convertible preferred stock of the Predecessor Company was limited based on NYSE rules requiring shareholder approval.

Options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock having an exercise price greater than the average share market price are excluded from the calculation of diluted net (loss) per share:

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

American Centrifuge

Project Funding

The economics for commercial deployment of the American Centrifuge technology are severely challenged by the current supply/demand imbalance in the market for LEU and related downward pressure on market prices for SWU that are now at their lowest levels in more than a decade. Under current market conditions, Centrus does not believe that its previous plans for commercialization of the American Centrifuge project are economically viable. Although the economics of the American Centrifuge project are severely challenged under current nuclear fuel market conditions, market conditions are expected to improve in the long term and Centrus continues to take steps to maintain its options to deploy the American Centrifuge technology as a long-term, direct source of domestic enrichment production.

In light of the strategic value of the American Centrifuge technology, DOE instructed UT-Battelle, the management and operating contractor for ORNL, to assist in developing a path forward for achieving a domestic uranium enrichment capability that supports national security purposes. This task includes, among other goals: (1) taking actions intended to promote the continued operability of the advanced enrichment centrifuge machines and related property, equipment and technology currently utilized in the American Centrifuge project; and (2) assessing technical options for meeting DOE’s national security needs and preserving the option of commercial deployment. Pursuant to those instructions, ORNL chose to subcontract with the Company. On May 1, 2014, the Company signed the ACTDO Agreement with UT-Battelle for continued research, development and demonstration of the American Centrifuge technology in furtherance of DOE’s national security objectives.

The ACTDO Agreement is a firm fixed-price contract that provides for continued cascade operations at the Company’s Piketon, Ohio facility, testing at the K-1600 test facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, core American Centrifuge research and technology activities and the furnishing of related reports to ORNL. In July 2014 and again in January 2015, ORNL exercised its options to extend the period of performance for the ACTDO Agreement for additional six-month periods to September 30, 2015. The agreement is incrementally funded and currently provides for payments on a monthly basis of approximately $6.9 million per month. The two extensions have increased the total price to approximately $117 million for the period from May 1, 2014 to September 30, 2015. A bipartisan majority in Congress and the Administration supported maintaining the American Centrifuge technology for national and energy security purposes; funding for ACTDO Agreement activities was included in the government fiscal year 2015 omnibus appropriation signed by President Obama in December 2014. Further, the Administration’s budget request for government fiscal year 2016 includes $100 million for domestic uranium enrichment to maintain the current centrifuge program while the Administration finalizes its assessment of how best to meet U.S. national security and non-proliferation goals. Appropriations for government fiscal year 2016 will require further action from both Congress and the President. On May 1, 2015, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 2028, to provide energy and water development appropriations for government fiscal year 2016. This

legislation would provide $50 million in direct appropriations for the domestic uranium enrichment program and contained a provision that would provide up to $50 million in special reprogramming authority for the program. As of July 31, 2015, the full Senate had not taken formal action on government fiscal year 2016 energy and water development appropriations.

Milestones under the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement

The Company and DOE are parties to an agreement dated June 17, 2002, as amended (the “2002 DOE-USEC Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and DOE made long-term commitments directed at resolving issues related to the stability and security of the domestic uranium enrichment industry. Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization and with the consent of DOE, Centrus assumed the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement subject to the parties reserving all rights under the agreement. The agreement provides that Centrus will develop, demonstrate and deploy advanced enrichment technology in accordance with milestones and provides for remedies in the event of a failure to meet a milestone under certain circumstances.

The 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement provides DOE with specific remedies if Centrus fails to meet a milestone that would materially impact Centrus’ ability to begin commercial operations of the American Centrifuge Plant on schedule and such delay was within Centrus’ control or was due to Centrus’ fault or negligence. These remedies could include terminating the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement, revoking Centrus’ access to DOE’s U.S. centrifuge technology that Centrus requires for the success of the American Centrifuge project and requiring Centrus to transfer certain of its rights in the American Centrifuge technology and facilities to DOE, and to reimburse DOE for certain costs associated with the American Centrifuge project. Any of these remedies under the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement could have a material adverse impact on Centrus’ business.

The 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement provides that if a delaying event beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of Centrus occurs that would affect Centrus’ ability to meet an American Centrifuge project milestone, DOE and Centrus will jointly meet to discuss in good faith possible adjustments to the milestones as appropriate to accommodate the delaying event. Centrus has notified DOE that it has not met the June 2014 milestone “Commitment to proceed with commercial operation” within the time period currently provided due to events beyond its control and without the fault or negligence of the Company. The assumption of the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement provided for under the Plan of Reorganization did not impact the ability of either party to assert all rights, remedies and defenses under the agreement and all such rights, remedies and defenses are specifically preserved and all time limits tolled expressly including all rights, remedies and defenses and time limits relating to any missed milestones. DOE and Centrus have agreed that all rights, remedies and defenses of the parties with respect to any missed milestones since March 5, 2014, including the June 2014 and November 2014 milestones, and all other matters under the June 2002 Agreement continue to be preserved, and that the time limits for each party to respond to any missed milestones continue to be tolled.

Potential ERISA Section 4062(e) Liability

The Company has been in discussion with the PBGC and its financial advisor regarding the status of the qualified pension plans, including with respect to potential liability under ERISA Section 4062(e). On September 30, 2011, Enrichment Corp. completed the de-lease to DOE of the Portsmouth GDP and transition of employees performing government services work to DOE’s decontamination and decommissioning contractor. Enrichment Corp. notified the PBGC of this occurrence at that time.

After receiving the Company’s notification of the transition of employees at the Portsmouth GDP in 2011, the PBGC staff at that time informally advised Enrichment Corp. of its preliminary view that the Portsmouth GDP transition was a cessation of operations that triggered liability under ERISA Section 4062(e) and that its preliminary estimate was that the ERISA Section 4062(e) liability (computed by taking into account the plan’s underfunding on a “termination basis,” which amount differs from that computed for GAAP purposes) for the Portsmouth GDP transition was approximately $130 million. At that time, Enrichment Corp. informed the PBGC that it did not agree with the PBGC staff’s view that ERISA Section 4062(e) liability was triggered in 2011, and also disputed the amount of the preliminary PBGC calculation of the potential ERISA Section 4062(e) liability. At the end of May 2013, the PBGC staff also informally advised Enrichment Corp. that the Paducah de-lease would be a cessation of operations under section 4062(e) when more than 20% of the Enrichment Corp.’s employees who are participants in a PBGC-covered pension plan were separated. The 20% reduction to the active plan participant threshold was reached at Paducah in April 2014.

Subsequently, on December 16, 2014, the President signed into law the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 (the “CFCAA”), which made major changes to ERISA section 4062(e). The CFCAA changes the criteria for triggering liability under section 4062(e); provides certain exemptions from the applicability of section 4062(e) to certain events; permits companies to satisfy the liability by making payments into the pension over seven years, but ceases once the pension reaches a 90% funding level as calculated under the method provided in the CFCAA; subject to an exception not applicable here, prohibits the PBGC from taking any enforcement, administrative or other action under section 4062(e) that is inconsistent with the amendments made by the CFCAA based on events that occurred before the date of enactment (December 16, 2014); and permits companies to elect to satisfy any liability under section 4062(e) as provided in the CFCAA for an event that had occurred prior to date of enactment as if such cessation had occurred on such date of enactment. While the PBGC has not issued any guidance or rules regarding the implementation of the changes to section 4062(e), we believe that in the event the PBGC were to determine that a cessation of operations had occurred under section 4062(e) as a result of the Portsmouth GDP transition or the Paducah GDP transition (events that occurred before enactment of the CFCAA), the Company could elect to satisfy any section 4062(e) liability under the provisions of the CFCAA. As of January 1, 2014, (the first plan year for which payments would otherwise be required) the Enrichment Corp. pension plan was over 90% funded under the method used in the CFCAA. Consequently the Company believes that any such liability would be fully satisfied under the method provided in the CFCAA.

The PBGC, however, has other authorities under ERISA that it may consider to address the Portsmouth and Paducah GDP transitions or otherwise in connection with the Company’s qualified defined benefit pension plans. These authorities include, but are not limited to, initiating involuntary termination of underfunded plans and seeking liens or additional funding. The Company would seek to defend against the assertion by the PBGC of any such authorities based on the facts and circumstances at the time. The involuntary termination by the PBGC of any of the qualified pension plans of Centrus or Enrichment Corp. would result in the termination of the limited, conditional guaranty by Enrichment Corp. of the PIK Toggle Notes (other than with respect to the unconditional interest claim).

The Company has been engaged in discussions with the PBGC since the Portsmouth GDP transition. In 2014, prior to enactment of the CFCAA, the PBGC informed the Company that the PBGC had retained an outside financial advisor to advise the PBGC on the Company’s business and the need for and advisability of any actions that may be taken by the PBGC. The Company has continued discussions with PBGC and its financial advisor. The PBGC has indicated it would like to discuss the potential for the Company to make contributions to the pension in advance of statutory funding requirements as amended by the Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014. The Company believes it is in the best interest of all stakeholders, including the PBGC, the covered plan participants and the Company, to continue funding of the qualified pension plans in the ordinary course and expects to do so, but there is no assurance that the PBGC will agree with that approach.

Legal Matters

On December 31, 2014, our subsidiary, Enrichment Corp., submitted a demand for binding arbitration to Entergy Services, Inc. and Entergy Nuclear Fuels Company (together with Entergy Services, Inc., “Entergy”) to resolve a dispute regarding their alleged repudiation of two sales contracts (the “Contracts”) with Enrichment Corp. On July 29, 2015, Enrichment Corp. and Entergy entered into a Confidential Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) that resolved the arbitration through modifications to the Contracts. No monetary awards or payments will be made with respect to the Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement represents a full and final resolution of the dispute related to the Contracts. We are currently evaluating the impact of the Settlement Agreement, if any, on our financial condition, primarily related to the non-cash intangible assets recorded through the application of fresh-start accounting on September 30, 2014.

Centrus is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, Centrus does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition.

14. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

The sole component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) relates to activity in the accounting for pension and postretirement health and life benefit plans. Amortization of actuarial (gains) losses, net, and amortization of prior service costs (credits), net, are items reclassified from AOCI and included in the computation of net periodic benefit cost (credit) as detailed in Note 10, Pension and Postretirement Health and Life Benefits.

15. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Centrus has two reportable segments: the LEU segment with two components, SWU and uranium, and the contract services segment. The LEU segment includes sales of the SWU component of LEU, sales of both the SWU and uranium components of LEU, and sales of uranium. The contract services segment includes revenue and cost of sales for work that Centrus performs under the fixed-price ACTDO Agreement as a subcontractor to UT-Battelle beginning May 1, 2014. The contract services segment also includes limited services provided by Centrus to DOE and its contractors at the Portsmouth site related to facilities we continue to lease for the American Centrifuge Plant and formerly at the Paducah GDP. Gross profit is Centrus’ measure for segment reporting. There were no intersegment sales in the periods presented.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report.

Overview

Centrus Energy Corp. (“Centrus” or the “Company”) supplies low enriched uranium (“LEU”) for commercial nuclear power plants. LEU is a critical component in the production of nuclear fuel for reactors to produce electricity. We supply LEU to both domestic and international utilities for use in nuclear reactors worldwide.

LEU consists of two components: separative work units (“SWU”) and uranium. SWU is a standard unit of measurement that represents the effort required to transform a given amount of natural uranium into two components: enriched uranium having a higher percentage of the uranium-235 isotope (“U235”) and depleted uranium having a lower percentage of U235. The SWU contained in LEU is calculated using an industry standard formula based on the physics of enrichment. The amount of enrichment deemed to be contained in LEU under this formula is commonly referred to as its SWU component and the quantity of natural uranium used in the production of LEU under this formula is referred to as its uranium component. While in some cases Centrus sells both the SWU and uranium components of LEU to customers, utility customers typically provide uranium to Centrus as part of their enrichment contracts, and in exchange Centrus delivers LEU to these customers and charges for the SWU component.

We provide LEU from our inventory and our supply purchases in order to meet our sales contract requirements. We ceased enrichment at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (“Paducah GDP”) in Paducah, Kentucky, at the end of May 2013 and repackaged and transferred our existing inventory to off-site licensed locations under agreements with the operators of those facilities. We will control the disposition of that material and will continue to manage deliveries of LEU to fuel fabricators in order to facilitate sales to utilities for consumption in their reactors. We transferred the leased Paducah GDP site back to the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) in October 2014.

We acquire Russian LEU under the terms of a 10-year commercial agreement with Russia that runs through 2022 (the “Russian Supply Agreement”). We have worked with, and intend to continue to work with, the Russian government entity Joint Stock Company “TENEX” (“TENEX”) to adjust the terms in a mutually beneficial manner under the Russian Supply Agreement to better align our purchase obligations in light of market conditions generally, our contract backlog, and restrictions on the sale of Russian LEU.

As a long term provider of LEU for our customers, our goal is to promote diversity of our supply sources. Until such time as market conditions have improved sufficiently to support the deployment of additional enrichment capacity by Centrus, we will be making sales from our existing inventory, our supply purchases from Russia and other sources of supply. At present there is ample supply of enrichment capacity and LEU in the world markets. We expect to continue making sales to our customer base, and to engage our customers in discussions regarding our existing backlog, including revisions to contracts to reflect our anticipated sources of supply and potential timing for the financing and commercial production from a future domestic enrichment plant

We are working to maintain a path to deploy the American Centrifuge technology in the American Centrifuge Plant (“ACP”) in Piketon, Ohio. Our current focus for the American Centrifuge technology relates to our contract to conduct research, development and demonstration work for the U.S. government. We believe that the American Centrifuge technology can play a critical role in meeting our national and energy security needs and achieving our nation’s non-proliferation objectives. In light of the strategic value of the American Centrifuge technology, DOE instructed UT-Battelle, LLC (“UT-Battelle”), the management and operating contractor for Oak Ridge National Laboratory (“ORNL”), to assist in developing a path forward for achieving a reliable domestic uranium enrichment capability that supports national security purposes. On May 1, 2014, the Company signed a firm fixed-price agreement with UT-Battelle for continued cascade operations and continuation of core American Centrifuge research and technology activities and the furnishing of related reports to ORNL (the “American Centrifuge Technology Demonstration and Operations Agreement”, or “ACTDO Agreement”). In July 2014 and again in

January 2015, ORNL exercised its options to extend the period of performance for the ACTDO Agreement for additional six-month periods to September 30, 2015. A bipartisan majority in Congress and the Administration supported maintaining the American Centrifuge technology for national and energy security purposes; funding for ACTDO Agreement activities was included in the government fiscal year 2015 omnibus appropriation signed by President Obama in December 2014. Further, the Administration’s budget request for government fiscal year 2016 includes $100 million for domestic uranium enrichment to maintain the current centrifuge program while the Administration finalizes its assessment of how best to meet U.S. national security and non-proliferation goals. Appropriations for government fiscal year 2016 will require further action from both Congress and the President. On May 1, 2015, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 2028, to provide energy and water development appropriations for government fiscal year 2016. This legislation would provide $50 million in direct appropriations for the domestic uranium enrichment program and contained a provision that would provide up to $50 million in special reprogramming authority for the program. As of July 31, 2015, the full Senate had not taken formal action on government fiscal year 2016 energy and water development appropriations.

Under the ACTDO Agreement, we are operating a cascade of centrifuges to enrich uranium in a closed loop demonstrating that the centrifuges we built can produce commercial LEU. Although our demonstration of the technical capabilities of the American Centrifuge technology continues to be successful, the economics for commercial deployment of the American Centrifuge technology are severely challenged by the current supply/demand imbalance in the market for LEU. Declining prices for competing fuels, lack of public acceptance in some countries for nuclear power and the high capital cost of building new reactors have resulted in slower than expected growth for new plants in many regions of the world. These factors and the effects of the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan have caused an oversupply of nuclear fuel available for sale and have placed significant downward pressure on market prices for SWU, which are now at their lowest levels in more than a decade.

Emergence from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 852, Reorganizations, Centrus adopted fresh start accounting upon emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The recorded amounts of assets and liabilities were adjusted to reflect their estimated fair values on the Effective Date. These fair value adjustments:


•	significantly reduce the gross profit impact of deferred revenues going forward;


•	result in the amortization of sales backlog and customer relationship intangible assets that were created at emergence; and


•	result in higher cost of sales as a result of increasing inventory values at emergence.

Business Segments

Centrus has two reportable segments: the LEU segment with two components, SWU and uranium, and the contract services segment.

LEU Segment

Revenue from Sales of SWU and Uranium

Revenue from our LEU segment is derived primarily from:


•	sales of the SWU component of LEU,


•	sales of both the SWU and uranium components of LEU, and


•	sales of natural uranium.

The majority of our customers are domestic and international utilities that operate nuclear power plants, with international sales constituting 28% of revenue from our LEU segment in 2014. Our agreements with electric utilities are primarily long-term, fixed-commitment contracts under which our customers are obligated to purchase a specified quantity of the SWU component of LEU (or the SWU and uranium components of LEU) from us. Our agreements for natural uranium sales are generally shorter-term, fixed-commitment contracts. Uranium sales constituted less than 1% of the revenue from our LEU segment in 2014.

Our revenues, operating results and cash flows can fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year. Revenue is recognized at the time LEU or uranium is delivered under the terms of our contracts. Customer demand is affected by, among other things, electricity markets, reactor operations, maintenance and the timing of refueling outages. Utilities typically schedule the shutdown of their reactors for refueling to coincide with the low electricity demand periods of spring and fall. Thus, some reactors are scheduled for annual or two-year refuelings in the spring or fall, or for 18-month cycles alternating between both seasons. Customer payments for the SWU component of LEU typically average approximately $15 million to $20 million per order. As a result, a relatively small change in the timing of customer orders for LEU due to a change in a customer’s refueling schedule may cause operating results to be substantially above or below expectations.

Our financial performance over time can be significantly affected by changes in prices for SWU and uranium. The long-term SWU price indicator, as published by TradeTech, LLC in Nuclear Market Review, is an indication of base-year prices under new long-term enrichment contracts in our primary markets. Since our backlog includes contracts awarded to us in previous years, the average SWU price billed to customers typically lags behind the current price indicators by several years, which means that prices under contracts today exceed declining market prices. Following are TradeTech’s long-term and spot SWU price indicators, the long-term price for uranium hexafluoride (“UF6”), as calculated by Centrus using indicators published in Nuclear Market Review, and TradeTech’s spot price indicator for UF6:



	June 30, 2015		December 31, 2014		June 30, 2014
SWU:
Long-term price indicator ($/SWU)	$	82.00	$	90.00	$	95.00
Spot price indicator ($/SWU)	70.00		88.00		93.00
UF6:
Long-term price composite ($/KgU)	136.19		146.64		130.97
Spot price indicator ($/KgU)	101.50		100.50		80.75

In a number of sales transactions, title to uranium or LEU is transferred to the customer and we receive payment under normal credit terms without physically delivering the uranium or LEU to the customer. This may occur because the terms of the agreement require us to hold the uranium to which the customer has title, or because the customer encounters brief delays in taking delivery of LEU. In such cases, recognition of revenue does not occur at the time title to uranium or LEU transfers to the customer but instead is deferred until LEU to which the customer has title is physically delivered.

Cost of Sales for SWU and Uranium

Cost of sales for SWU and uranium is based on the amount of SWU and uranium sold and delivered during the period and unit inventory costs. Unit inventory costs are determined using the monthly moving average cost method. Changes in purchase costs and, historically, changes in production costs, have an effect on inventory costs and cost of sales over current and future periods.

SWU costs for the Successor Company are based on SWU purchase costs and the inventory cost basis as of the Effective Date. SWU inventory costs were increased by $35.4 million as of the Effective Date to reflect fresh start accounting adjustments.

Prices for SWU purchased under the Russian Supply Agreement are determined based on a mix of market-related price points and other factors. Prior to the cessation of enrichment at the Paducah GDP, SWU costs for the Predecessor Company included production costs consisting principally of electric power, labor and benefits, materials, depreciation and amortization, and maintenance and repairs.

Following the cessation of enrichment at the Paducah GDP, costs for plant activities that formerly were included in production costs have been charged directly to cost of sales including inventory management and disposition, ongoing regulatory compliance, utility requirements for operations, security, and other site management activities related to transition of facilities and infrastructure to DOE in October 2014. Refer below to Results of Operations - Cost of Sales.

Contract Services Segment

American Centrifuge

Beginning in May 2014, the contract services segment includes revenue and cost of sales for American Centrifuge work we perform under the ACTDO Agreement as a subcontractor to UT-Battelle. The ACTDO Agreement is a firm, fixed-price contract that provides for continued cascade operations and the continuation of core American Centrifuge research and technology activities and the furnishing of related reports to ORNL. The total price is approximately $117 million for the period from May 1, 2014 to September 30, 2015. The agreement is incrementally funded and currently provides for payments of approximately $6.9 million per month. Spending levels are consistent with the fixed funding levels. Centrus records an unbilled receivable and revenue based on the progress towards the achievement of monthly deliverables. Monthly reports and invoices affirming the achievement of monthly deliverables are submitted shortly following each month. The achievement of monthly deliverables has resulted in revenue consistent with the funding levels.

Site Services Work and Related Receivables

We formerly performed work under contract with DOE and its contractors to maintain and prepare the former Portsmouth GDP for decontamination and decommissioning (“D&D”). In September 2011, our contracts for maintaining the Portsmouth facilities and performing services for DOE at Portsmouth expired and we completed the transition of facilities to DOE’s D&D contractor for the Portsmouth site. Additionally, we provided limited services to DOE and its contractors at the Paducah GDP until the leased portions of the Paducah GDP were returned to DOE on October 21, 2014.

Revenue from U.S. government contracts for work performed at the Portsmouth and Paducah sites is recognized in accordance with government cost accounting standards (“CAS”). Allowable costs include direct costs as well as allocations of indirect plant and corporate overhead costs and are subject to audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”), or such other entity that DOE authorizes to conduct the audit. As a part of performing contract work for DOE, certain contractual issues, scope of work uncertainties, and various disputes arise from time to time. Issues unique to Centrus can arise as a result of our history of being privatized from the U.S. government and our lease and other contracts with DOE. Payment for our contract work performed for DOE is subject to DOE funding availability and Congressional appropriations.

DOE historically has not approved our provisional billing rates in a timely manner. DOE has approved provisional billing rates for 2004, 2006, 2010 and 2013 based on preliminary budgeted estimates even though updated provisional rates had been submitted based on more current information. In addition, we have finalized and submitted to DOE the Incurred Cost Submissions for Portsmouth and Paducah contract work for the six months ended December 31, 2002 and calendar years 2003 through 2013. DOE and its audit contractors historically have not completed their audits of our Incurred Cost Submissions in a timely manner. In December 2013, DOE provided its position regarding establishing Final Indirect Cost Rates for the six months ended December 31, 2002 and calendar years 2003 through 2005 based in part on audits completed for those years. In June 2014, DOE provided the results of the audit of the 2006 Incurred Cost Submission and in January 2015, DOE provided its position regarding establishing Final Indirect Cost Rates for 2006. DOE’s contractor is in the final stages of its audit of 2007 and has begun its audit of 2008.

Federal Acquisition Regulations require the DOE contracting officer to conduct negotiations and prepare a written indirect cost agreement. Neither of these actions has occurred. We do not agree with all of the findings of the audits for these years and believe that DOE’s continued withholding of payments is unwarranted. There is the potential for additional revenue to be recognized, based on the outcome of DOE reviews and audits, as the result of the release of previously established receivable related reserves. However, because these periods have not been finalized and most remain unaudited, uncertainty exists, and we have not yet recognized this additional revenue.

Certain receivables from DOE are included in other long-term assets based on the extended timeframe expected to resolve claims for payment. We believe that DOE has failed to establish appropriate provisional billing and final indirect cost rates on a timely basis and the Company has filed claims with DOE for payment under the Contract Disputes Act (“CDA”). DOE denied our initial claims for payment of $38.0 million for the periods through 2011, and on May 30, 2013, the Company appealed DOE’s denial of its claims to the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. We have been able to reach a resolution on a portion of the amounts claimed, and DOE has now paid approximately $6 million of claims for work performed in 2003 through 2005. The Court dismissed claims against DOE related to approximately $3.8 million due from prime subcontractors to DOE, and we are pursuing payment of such claims directly from the DOE subcontractors.

In December 2012, we invoiced DOE for $42.8 million, representing its share of pension and postretirement benefits costs related to the transition of Portsmouth site employees to DOE’s D&D contractor, as permitted by CAS and based on CAS calculation methodology. DOE denied payment on this invoice in January 2013, and subsequent to providing additional information, as requested, to DOE, the Company submitted a claim on August 30, 2013 under the CDA for payment of the $42.8 million. On August 27, 2014, the DOE contracting officer denied our claim. As a result, Centrus filed a complaint with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in January 2015, but there is no assurance we will be successful in our appeal. We have a full valuation allowance for this claim due to the lack of a resolution with DOE and uncertainty regarding the amounts owed and the timing of collection. The amounts owed by DOE may be more than the amounts we have invoiced to date.

Further, on February 5, 2015, the Company filed claims with DOE for payment under the CDA for approximately $1.6 million related to services performed in 2013. On May 5, 2015, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment in the litigation. In June 2015, the Company voluntarily dismissed the claim and received payment from DOE of the approximately $1.6 million.

We have potential pension plan funding obligations under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) Section 4062(e) related to our de-lease of the former Portsmouth GDP and transition of employees to DOE’s D&D contractor and related to the transition of employees in connection with the Paducah GDP transition. We believe that DOE is responsible for a significant portion of any pension and postretirement benefit costs associated with the transition of employees at Portsmouth. Additional details are provided in Liquidity and Capital Resources - Defined Benefit Plan Funding.

Advanced Technology Costs

From June 2012 through April 2014, the Company performed work under the June 2012 cooperative agreement with DOE (the “Cooperative Agreement”) for the American Centrifuge technology with cost-share funding from DOE. The Cooperative Agreement provided for 80% DOE and 20% Company cost sharing for work performed up to a total government cost share of $280 million. Costs incurred under the Cooperative Agreement were included in advanced technology costs. DOE’s cost share under the Cooperative Agreement was recognized as other income. The Cooperative Agreement expired in accordance with its terms on April 30, 2014.

Since May 2014, the Company has been performing continued cascade operations and core American Centrifuge research and technology activities and the furnishing of related reports to ORNL under the ACTDO Agreement. The scope of the overall work under the ACTDO Agreement is reduced from the scope of work that was being conducted by the Company under the Cooperative Agreement. Revenue and cost of sales for work that we perform under the fixed-price ACTDO Agreement as a subcontractor to UT-Battelle are reported in the contract services segment.

American Centrifuge costs incurred by Centrus that are outside of the ACTDO Agreement are included in advanced technology costs. The Company incurred $4.0 million in the three months and $5.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 for certain demobilization and maintenance costs related to American Centrifuge that are included in advanced technology costs.

2015 Outlook

Centrus will continue its transition during 2015, and we expect to deliver significantly less SWU to customers than when we began our transition in 2013. In 2013, we delivered approximately 8 million SWU, and during 2014, we delivered approximately 3 million SWU. We expect to deliver approximately 2 million SWU in 2015. We will also continue to execute our contract with ORNL to conduct research, development and demonstration of the American Centrifuge technology under the terms of the ACTDO Agreement.

Specifically, we anticipate SWU and uranium revenue in 2015 in a range of $350 million to $375 million and total revenue in a range of $425 million to $450 million. We expect to end 2015 with a cash and cash equivalents balance in a range of $175 million to $200 million.

Our financial guidance is subject to a number of assumptions and uncertainties that could affect results either positively or negatively. Variations from our expectations could cause differences between our guidance and our ultimate results. Among the factors that could affect our results are:


•	Additional short-term sales;


•	Timing of customer orders and related SWU deliveries;


•	The outcome of legal proceedings and other contingencies;


•	Funding of the ACTDO Agreement or a successor agreement beyond its current contract expiration date of September 30, 2015; and


•	The cost of any American Centrifuge demobilization or additional costs related to the overall transition of Centrus.

Results of Operations

We have two reportable segments measured and presented through the gross profit line of our income statement: the LEU segment with two components, SWU and uranium, and the contract services segment. The LEU segment is our primary business focus and includes sales of the SWU component of LEU, sales of both SWU and uranium components of LEU, and sales of uranium. The contract services segment includes revenue and cost of sales for American Centrifuge work we perform under the ACTDO Agreement as a subcontractor to UT-Battelle. The contract services segment also includes limited services provided by Centrus to DOE and its contractors at the Portsmouth site related to facilities we continue to lease for the ACP and formerly at the Paducah GDP. There were no intersegment sales in the periods presented.

Upon emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Centrus adopted fresh start accounting which resulted in Centrus becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. References to “Successor” or “Successor Company” relate to the financial position of the reorganized Centrus as of and subsequent to September 30, 2014 and results of operations subsequent to September 30, 2014. References to “Predecessor” or “Predecessor Company” relate to the Company prior to September 30, 2014. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization, the consolidated financial statements on or after September 30, 2014 are not comparable to consolidated financial statements prior to that date.

The following table presents elements of the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations that are categorized by segment (dollar amounts in millions):

Revenue

Revenue from the LEU segment declined $62.3 million (or 60%) in the three months and $61.1 million (or 24%) in the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the corresponding periods in 2014. The volume of SWU sales declined 63% in the three-month period and 46% in the six-month period reflecting the variability in timing of utility customer orders and the expected decline in SWU deliveries in 2015 compared to 2014. The average price billed to customers for sales of SWU increased 9% in both the three- and six-month periods reflecting the particular contracts under which SWU were sold during the period.

Revenue from the contract services segment increased $4.4 million (or 26%) in the three months and $22.4 million (or 114%) in the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the corresponding periods in 2014, reflecting American Centrifuge work performed under the ACTDO Agreement beginning May 1, 2014, partially offset by a decline in contract services work performed for DOE and DOE contractors.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the LEU segment declined $64.1 million (or 64%) in the three months and $89.8 million (or 34%) in the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the corresponding periods in 2014, due to lower SWU sales volumes and lower direct charges, partially offset by higher uranium sales volumes in the six-month period. Cost of sales for SWU and uranium and direct charges are detailed in the following tables (dollar amounts in millions):



	Three Months Ended June 30,
	Successor		Predecessor
	2015		2014		Change		%
Cost of sales for the LEU segment:
SWU and uranium	$	32.8	$	86.5	$	53.7	62	%
Direct charges	3.9		14.3		10.4		73	%
Total	$	36.7	$	100.8	64.1		64	%



	Six Months Ended June 30,
	Successor		Predecessor
	2015		2014		Change		%
Cost of sales for the LEU segment:
SWU and uranium	$	167.7	$	216.9	$	49.2	23	%
Direct charges	8.6		49.2		40.6		83	%
Total	$	176.3	$	266.1	89.8		34	%

Cost of sales per SWU, excluding direct charges, increased 2% in the three months and 7% in the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the corresponding periods in 2014, primarily due to the increase to book value of SWU inventories recorded as of September 30, 2014 as part of the application of fresh start accounting. In addition, approximately one-half of our sales in the prior six-month period were derived from previously deferred sales, whereby customers made advance payments to be applied against future deliveries. The unit cost per SWU for these sales reflects the average inventory cost when the customer took title to the SWU. These costs were accumulated in deferred costs and were then recognized as cost of sales as the SWU is delivered.

As we accelerated the expected productive life of plant assets and ceased uranium enrichment at the Paducah GDP in May 2013, we have incurred a number of expenses unrelated to production that have been charged directly to cost of sales. Direct charges totaled $3.9 million and $8.6 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and $14.3 million and $49.2 million in the corresponding periods in 2014 as follows:

Inventory charges of $0 and $0.3 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $5.1 million and $11.7 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, including the cost of inventories deployed for cascade drawdown, assay blending and repackaging, and residual uranium in cylinders transferred to DOE. We determined that it was uneconomic to recover resulting residual quantities for resale; and


-	Paducah GDP asset depreciation charges of $0.5 million and $1.8 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Paducah GDP asset depreciation was completed as of June 30, 2014.

Cost of sales for the contract services segment increased $5.4 million (or 32%) in the three months and $22.5 million (or 107%) in the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the corresponding periods in 2014, primarily due to American Centrifuge work performed under the ACTDO Agreement in the current periods.

Gross Profit (Loss)

Gross profit increased $0.8 million in the three months and $28.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015. Our margin was 6.8% in the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 2.9% in the corresponding period in 2014, and 4.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to a loss of (6.4%) in the corresponding period in 2014.

Gross profit for the LEU segment increased $1.8 million in the three-month period and $28.7 million in the six-month period due to the decreases in direct charges and the increases in the average SWU prices billed to customers, partially offset by lower SWU sales volumes and higher average costs per SWU, as described above.

Our gross loss from the contract services segment increased by $1.0 million in the three months and $0.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the corresponding periods in 2014.

Advanced Technology Costs

Advanced technology costs declined $14.0 million in the three months and $45.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the corresponding periods in 2014, reflecting development work performed in the prior periods under the Cooperative Agreement with DOE, which expired in accordance with its terms on April 30, 2014.

American Centrifuge costs incurred by the Company that are outside of the current ACTDO Agreement are included in advanced technology costs, including certain demobilization and maintenance costs. Such costs totaled $4.0 million in the three months and $5.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015, and $7.0 million in May-June 2014.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses declined $3.8 million in the three months and $3.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the corresponding periods in 2014. Salaries, benefits and other compensation declined $4.5 million in the three-month period and $5.4 million in the six-month period, including a gain of $3.9 million resulting from the remeasurement of pension obligations under the Employees’ Retirement Plan of Centrus Energy Corp. and the non-qualified supplemental executive pension plans. The remeasurements resulted from the level of lump-sum payments to former employees including those affected by workforce reductions. Consulting costs increased $0.3 million and $1.0 million in the three- and six-month periods, respectively. Office related expenses increased $0.9 million in the six-month period.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization commenced in the fourth quarter of 2014 for the intangible assets resulting from the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy and adoption of fresh start accounting.

Special Charges for Workforce Reductions

The cessation of enrichment at the Paducah GDP and evolving business needs have resulted in workforce reductions since July 2013. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, special charges consisted of termination benefits of $2.9 million and $3.8 million, respectively, less $0.3 million in the six-month period for severance paid by the Company and invoiced to DOE for its share of employee severance.

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, special charges for termination benefits consisted of $4.1 million in the three-month period and $4.2 million in the six-month period, less amounts paid by the Company and invoiced to DOE of $1.6 million in the three-month period and $2.2 million in the six-month period.

Other (Income)

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, other income consisted of net gains on sales of assets and property.

DOE and the Company provided cost-sharing support for American Centrifuge activities under the Cooperative Agreement, which expired in accordance with its terms on April 30, 2014. DOE’s cost share of qualifying American Centrifuge expenditures in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was recognized as other income.

Reorganization Items, Net

Beginning in the first quarter of 2014, expenses, gains and losses directly associated with our reorganization were reported as Reorganization Items, Net.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

The income tax benefit was $0 for the three months and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The income tax benefit was $0.1 million for the three months and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Included in the income tax benefit was a discrete item for reversals of previously accrued amounts associated with liabilities for unrecognized benefits of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and $1.0 million for the corresponding period in 2014.

Because there is a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets and there are pretax losses and, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, income in other components of the financial statements (i.e., Other Comprehensive Income), the income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2014, excluding discrete items, from pretax losses is limited to the amount of income tax expense recorded on Other Comprehensive Income. This income tax benefit is calculated using an estimated annual effective tax rate. The estimated annual effective tax rate applied to pretax losses for an interim period is calculated using the estimated full-year plan for ordinary income and the year-to-date income tax expense for all other components of the financial statements.

Net (Loss)

Our net loss declined $12.9 million in the three months and $48.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the corresponding periods in 2014, reflecting the increases in gross profit for the LEU segment and declines in advanced technology costs and reorganization items, partially offset by amortization of intangible assets that resulted from our reorganization.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We ended the second quarter of 2015 with a consolidated cash balance of $218.5 million. We anticipate having adequate liquidity to support our business operations for at least the next 12 months. Our view of liquidity is dependent on our operations and the level of expenditures and government funding for the American Centrifuge program. Liquidity requirements for our existing operations are affected by the timing and amount of customer sales and purchases of Russian LEU.

Substantially all revenue-generating operations of the Company are conducted at the subsidiary level. Centrus’ principal source of funding for American Centrifuge activities is provided (i) under the fixed-price ACTDO Agreement with ORNL; and (ii) funding provided by Centrus’ wholly owned subsidiary United States Enrichment Corporation (“Enrichment Corp.”) to Centrus and its 100% indirectly owned subsidiary American Centrifuge Operating, LLC pursuant to two secured intercompany financing notes (the “Intercompany Notes”). The financing obtained from Enrichment Corp. funds American Centrifuge activities pending receipt of payments related to work performed under the ACTDO Agreement, American Centrifuge costs that are outside the scope of work under the ACTDO Agreement, including costs of the limited demobilization and contract termination costs resulting from the reduction in scope of work under the ACTDO Agreement as compared to the scope of work under the prior Cooperative Agreement, and general corporate expenses, including cash interest payments on our 8% paid-in-kind toggle notes (“PIK Toggle Notes”). Capital expenditures are expected to be insignificant for at least the next 12 months.

We believe our sales backlog in our LEU segment is a source of stability for our liquidity position. However, due to the current supply/demand imbalance in the nuclear fuel market, the sharp decrease in market prices since the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, uncertainty about the future prospects for commercial production at the ACP and the end to domestic production at the Paducah GDP, our sales backlog has declined in recent years. Although we see limited uncommitted demand for LEU prior to the end of the decade based on current market conditions, we continue to seek and make additional sales, including sales for delivery during that time period.

The ACTDO Agreement is a firm, fixed-price contract that provides for continued cascade operations and the continuation of core American Centrifuge research and technology activities and the furnishing of related reports to ORNL. The agreement is incrementally funded and currently provides for payments through September 30, 2015. As described in more detail above in Overview, appropriations for the centrifuge program for government fiscal year 2016 will require further action from both Congress and the President.

The scope of the overall work under the ACTDO Agreement is reduced from the scope of work that was being conducted by us under the prior Cooperative Agreement with DOE. We have demobilized portions of the program areas not being continued under the reduced scope. We incurred approximately $17 million in 2014 and $5 million in the first half of 2015 to demobilize portions of the program areas not being continued under the reduced scope. The costs associated with our limited demobilization activities are included in advanced technology costs. We expect to incur an estimated $1 million to $2 million in additional demobilization costs during the remainder of 2015. These costs exclude any offsetting proceeds from sales of our assets no longer needed in our current activities. These costs relate to securing classified and export controlled information and intellectual property, preparing to preserve machinery and equipment with a structured maintenance plan to protect the long-term viability and operability of this specialized equipment, transporting and consolidating selected materials and equipment that may be necessary for future deployment, and terminating supplier contracts. The objective of the limited demobilization is to not only reduce costs for which no external funding exists, but also to preserve our ability to remobilize certain project activities effectively at a future date. We worked with affected suppliers in order to terminate contracts either by their terms or in a consensual manner such that relationships will be maintained to reconstitute the industrial base to support deployment of the American Centrifuge for national security purposes or for commercialization.

Notwithstanding the limited demobilization costs described above, substantially all of our American Centrifuge project costs are supported by the ACTDO Agreement. Spending levels and scope are expected to remain in line with the ACTDO Agreement and any subsequent agreements funded by the U.S. government until an investment opportunity to commercialize the ACP is viable. In the event that funding by the U.S. government is discontinued, the American Centrifuge project may be subject to further demobilization, delays and termination. Any such actions may have a material adverse impact on our ability to deploy the American Centrifuge technology and on our liquidity. A decision to further demobilize or terminate the project would result in severance costs, contractual commitments, and other related costs which would impose additional demands on our liquidity. In addition, notwithstanding our emergence from bankruptcy, we continue to be subject to actions that may be taken by vendors, customers, creditors and other third parties in response to our actions or based on their view of our financial strength and future business prospects, could give rise to events that individually, or in the aggregate, impose significant demands on our liquidity.

The prospects for any commercial deployment of the American Centrifuge technology are likely delayed for several years until the current oversupply of enriched uranium has been absorbed and market price indicators have improved, providing the basis for capital investment. Commercial deployment of a future domestic enrichment plant will require a substantial amount of capital. In order to successfully raise this capital, we need to establish a viable business plan that supports loan repayment and provides potential investors with an attractive return on investment based on the project’s risk profile, which is not supported by current market conditions without additional government support.

As described below under Defined Benefit Plan Funding, we are in discussions with the PBGC and its financial advisor regarding the impact of our de-leases of the Portsmouth and Paducah GDPs and related transition of employees as well as the continuing transition of our business on our defined benefit plan funding obligations.

The change in cash and cash equivalents from our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows are as follows on a summarized basis (in millions):



	Six Months Ended June 30,
	Successor			Predecessor
	2015			2014
Net Cash (Used in) Operating Activities	$	(5.8	)	$	(193.4	)

Net Cash (Used in) Financing Activities	—			(0.1		)
Net (Decrease) in Cash and Cash Equivalents	$	(0.3	)	$	(190.9	)

Operating Activities

Monetization of inventory purchased or produced in prior periods provided cash flow in the six months ended June 30, 2015 as inventories declined $118.1 million due to sales deliveries exceeding product received under SWU purchase agreements. In addition, accounts receivable declined $31.8 million due to monetization in the first quarter without increased sales and billings. The net reduction of the SWU purchase payables balance of $116.9 million, due to the timing of purchase deliveries, was a significant use of cash flow in the six-month period. The net loss of $30.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015, net of non-cash charges including depreciation and amortization, was a use of cash flow.

In the corresponding period in 2014, payment of the SWU purchase payables balance of $340.7 million, due to the timing of purchase deliveries, was a significant use of cash flow, as was the net reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities by $34.8 million due to reduced operational activity. The net loss of $78.8 million, net of non-cash charges including depreciation and amortization, was a use of cash flow. Monetization of inventory purchased or produced in prior periods provided cash flow in the six-month period as accounts receivable declined $137.9 million and inventories declined $127.7 million.

Investing Activities

There were no capital expenditures in the six months ended June 30, 2015 or the corresponding period in 2014. Cash collateral deposits decreased $4.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015, and $2.2 million in the corresponding period in 2014, commensurate with declines in surety bonds required for waste disposition.

Defined Benefit Plan Funding

We contributed $7.4 million to the non-qualified defined benefit pension plans in the six months ended June 30, 2015, and we expect to contribute less than $1.0 million in the remainder of 2015. We do not expect there to be a required contribution for the qualified defined benefit pension plans in 2015, and therefore, we do not expect to contribute in 2015. There is no required contribution for the postretirement health and life benefit plans under ERISA, and we do not expect to contribute in 2015.

In addition, we have been in discussion with the PBGC and its financial advisor regarding the status of the qualified pension plans, including with respect to potential liability under ERISA Section 4062(e). On September 30, 2011, Enrichment Corp. completed the de-lease to DOE of the Portsmouth GDP and transition of employees performing government services work to DOE’s D&D contractor. Enrichment Corp. notified the PBGC of this occurrence at that time.

Further, at the end of May 2013, Enrichment Corp. ceased enrichment at the Paducah GDP and on October 21, 2014, completed the de-lease and return of the facility to DOE. In connection with the de-lease and return of the Paducah GDP to DOE, the remaining employees at the Paducah GDP were terminated other than a few employees that have been retained to continue operations related to servicing customers, implementation of the Russian Supply Agreement and to fill positions elsewhere in the Company.

The PBGC, however, has other authorities under ERISA that it may consider to address the Portsmouth and Paducah transitions or otherwise in connection with the Company’s qualified defined benefit pension plans. These authorities include, but are not limited to, initiating involuntary termination of underfunded plans and seeking liens or additional funding. We would seek to defend against the assertion by the PBGC of any such authorities based on the facts and circumstances at the time. The involuntary termination by the PBGC of any of the qualified pension plans of Centrus or Enrichment Corp. would result in the termination of the limited, conditional guaranty by Enrichment Corp. of the PIK Toggle Notes (other than with respect to the unconditional interest claim).

We have been engaged in discussions with the PBGC since the Portsmouth GDP transition. In 2014, prior to enactment of the CFCAA, the PBGC informed the Company that the PBGC had retained an outside financial advisor to advise the PBGC on the Company’s business and the need for and advisability of any actions that may be

taken by the PBGC. The Company has continued discussions with PBGC and its financial advisor. The PBGC has indicated it would like to discuss the potential for the Company to make contributions to the pension in advance of statutory funding requirements as amended by the Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014. The Company believes it is in the best interest of all stakeholders, including the PBGC, the covered plan participants and the Company, to continue funding of the qualified pension plans in the ordinary course and expects to do so, but there is no assurance that the PBGC will agree with that approach.

Capital Structure and Financial Resources

At June 30, 2015, our debt consisted of $244.0 million of PIK Toggle Notes. The PIK Toggle Notes will mature on September 30, 2019. However, the maturity date can be extended to September 30, 2024 upon the satisfaction of certain funding conditions described in the Indenture relating to the funding, under binding agreements, of (i) the American Centrifuge project or (ii) the implementation and deployment of a National Security Train Program utilizing American Centrifuge technology. The PIK Toggle Notes pay interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Company has elected to pay 3.0% per annum of interest due on the PIK Toggle Notes for the interest periods ending on March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 in the form of PIK payments. As such, interest for the semi-annual period ended March 31, 2015 was paid as $6.0 million in cash and $3.6 million in PIK payments. Total interest payable at June 30, 2015 is $4.9 million, of which the expected cash portion of $3.1 million is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the expected PIK portion of $1.8 million is included in other long-term liabilities.

For any interest payment date from October 1, 2015, through the maturity of the PIK Toggle Notes, the Company has the option to pay up to 5.5% per annum of interest due on the PIK Toggle Notes in the form of PIK payments. The PIK Toggle Notes are guaranteed on a limited, subordinated and conditional basis by Enrichment Corp. Enrichment Corp. will be released from its guarantee without the consent of the holders of the PIK Toggle Notes upon the occurrence of certain termination events (other than with respect to the unconditional interest claim). Additional terms and conditions of the PIK Toggle Notes are described in Note 8 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

As described in more detail above and under Defined Benefit Plan Funding, we are managing our working capital to improve the long term value of our LEU business and are planning to continue funding the Company’s qualified pension plans in the ordinary course because we believe that is in the best interest of all stakeholders. We expect that any other uses of working capital will be undertaken in light of these strategic priorities and will be based on the Company’s determination as to the relative strength of its operating performance and prospects, financial position and expected liquidity requirements. In addition, we expect that any such other uses of working capital will be subject to compliance with contractual restrictions to which the Company and its subsidiaries are subject, including the terms and conditions of the Indenture. While the Company will continue to evaluate alternatives to manage our capital structure, the Company does not currently intend to utilize working capital to repurchase or redeem the PIK Toggle Notes or other Company securities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds, our purchase commitments under the Russian Supply Agreement and the license agreement with DOE relating to the American Centrifuge technology disclosed in our 2014 Annual Report, there were no material off-balance sheet arrangements, obligations, or other relationships at June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented

Reference is made to New Accounting Standards in Note 1 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for information on new accounting standards.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

At June 30, 2015, the balance sheet carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and payables under SWU purchase agreements approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of the instruments.

We have not entered into financial instruments for trading purposes. At June 30, 2015, our debt consisted of the PIK Toggle Notes with a balance sheet carrying value of $244.0 million. The estimated fair value of the PIK Toggle Notes was $96.7 million based on the most recent trading price as of June 30, 2015.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Centrus maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Centrus in reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, Centrus carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon, and as of the date of, this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The following information supplements and amends our discussion set forth under Part I, Item 1, Legal Proceedings, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as previously supplemented and amended by the information set forth under Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings, in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

On February 5, 2015, the Company filed claims with DOE for payment under the Contract Disputes Act for approximately $1.6 million related to services performed in 2013. On May 5, 2015, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment in the litigation. In June 2015, the Company voluntarily dismissed the claim and received payment from DOE of the approximately $1.6 million.

Centrus is subject to various other legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors described in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

The ability to attract and retain key personnel is critical to the success of our business.

The success of our business depends on key executives, managers, scientists, engineers and other skilled personnel. The ability to attract and retain these key personnel may be difficult in light of our emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the uncertainties currently facing the business and changes we may make to the organizational structure to adjust to changing circumstances. For example, there have been several changes to the Company’s senior management, including a new Chief Executive Officer in March 2015 and a new Chief Financial Officer in July 2015. These changes in senior management could create uncertainty among our employees, customers and other third parties with which we do business. Our future success depends in large part upon the effective transition of our new management team. The inability to retain appropriately qualified and experienced senior executives could negatively affect our operations, strategic planning and performance.

We do not have key man life insurance policies and, with the exception of our Chief Executive Officer, we do not have employment agreements with our corporate executives or other key personnel. If executives, managers or other key personnel resign, retire or are terminated, or their service is otherwise interrupted, we may not be able to replace them in a timely manner and we could experience significant declines in productivity. In addition, most of the key personnel are involved in the development of the American Centrifuge technology and all of them have security clearances. Given the proprietary nature of centrifuge technology, we are also at risk as to its intellectual property if key employees resign to work for a competitor.
