Shares in Boss Energy Limited (ASX:BOE) declined 3.48% to $1.66 on 26 February at 10:34am following the release of its Half-Year FY2026 report. While revenue rose sharply on increased uranium sales and production, the company posted a statutory net loss, with the market reacting to margin pressures and inventory-related accounting impacts.

Revenue Climbs on Higher Uranium Sales

Boss Energy reported revenue of $81.8 million for the six months to 31 December 2025, a 71% increase from the prior corresponding period. The rise was driven by uranium sales of 750,000 pounds (lbs), up from 400,000 lbs in H1 FY2025.

Production at the Honeymoon Uranium Operation reached 842,000 lbs, compared with 227,000 lbs a year earlier, as additional wellfields and NIMCIX columns were brought online. The average realised price was $113.4 per lb (US$74.4/lb), including loan repayments.

Despite the higher sales volumes, Boss reported a net loss after tax of $7.9 million. The result was primarily attributed to the sale of previously purchased inventory and early production inventory with higher associated costs.

Costs and Inventory Weigh on Earnings

Operating costs for the half totalled $71.2 million. This included $42.2 million relating to 400,000 lbs of purchased uranium sold and $29.0 million tied to 350,000 lbs of produced uranium sold.

Expenses of $18.4 million were largely linked to corporate and administrative costs. These included employee and consultant expenses of $8.2 million, adverse fair value movements in financial assets of $7.2 million, exploration and evaluation expenditure of $1.6 million, and net financing costs of $1.3 million.

The weighted average cost of inventory decreased from $85.4/lb at the end of FY2025 to $68.3/lb at the end of H1 FY2026, as lower-cost production increasingly replaced higher-cost purchased material.

Cash Position and Capital Investment

Boss ended the half with $208.0 million in cash and liquid assets and zero debt. Cash on hand rose to $52.9 million, up $16.3 million from the end of FY2025, supported by positive net operating cash flow of $36.2 million.

During the period, the company received $96.4 million in cash relating to 850,000 lbs from sales and loan receipts. Cash operating costs totalled $43.8 million, associated with production at Honeymoon, its share of Alta Mesa output, and corporate costs.

Boss invested $28.0 million in development activities at Honeymoon and Alta Mesa, including plant capacity expansion and wellfield infrastructure. A further $14.9 million was allocated to completing NIMCIX columns, with spending expected to ease in the second half.

Uranium inventory increased to 1,615,000 lbs following the accumulation of an additional 206,000 lbs during the half.
