Boss Energy Ltd (ASX:BOE; OTCQX: BQSSF) is a uranium producer operating the Honeymoon in-situ recovery mine in South Australia and holding a 30% interest in the Alta Mesa joint venture in Texas. On 19 October 2026, shares ended the day at $1.33, down 1.12%. In an ASX release dated 27 August 2026, the company reported its FY2026 results for the year to 30 June 2026 and set guidance for FY2027.

FY2026 financial results

Sales revenue doubled to $151.1 million from $75.6 million, reflecting sales of 1,400 klbs of U₃O₈ at an average realised price of $111 per pound (US$74.4), including a $15.5 million uranium Loan repayment. Net profit after tax was $2.5 million, compared with a loss of $34.2 million, helped by higher sales and a greater share from produced inventory. Profit before tax was $1.8 million after operating costs of $122.0 million and expenses of $27.3 million.

Sales of 1,000 klbs of produced uranium generated an Operating Margin of $31.9 million, while sales of purchased uranium produced an operating loss of $0.4 million. C1 cost was $39 per pound (US$26), All-In Sustaining Cost was $61 per pound (US$41) and Honeymoon Capital Expenditure was $66.6 million, all within revised guidance.

Balance sheet and inventory

Cash rose by $13.1 million, and cash and liquid assets were $207.3 million at Book Value ($171.9 million net of working capital), with no debt. Uranium inventory rose by 172 klbs to 1.581 Mlbs, valued at about $195 million at the Spot Price at year end. The company describes itself as strategically under-contracted, meaning a large share of its production is not committed to fixed contracts.

FY2027 guidance

Production guidance is 1.25 to 1.30 Mlbs of U₃O₈, with C1 cash cost of $51 to $56 per pound (US$35 to US$39) and AISC of $83 to $92 per pound (US$58 to US$64). The release says the short-term profile reflects mine-development uncertainty since July 2025 and a decision to limit further Investment in legacy wellfields, while the transition to a wide-spaced wellfield design began in January 2026. It describes FY2027 as a transition year in which new wellfields are progressively commissioned and water-treatment capacity is expanded.

The release says purchased uranium cost $42.3 million against $85.2 million a year earlier, while produced uranium costs rose to $79.7 million from $2.4 million, reflecting the shift to predominantly Honeymoon-sourced sales. Expenses were $27.3 million, up 40%. An income tax benefit of $0.8 million contrasted with an expense of $2.6 million in FY2025.

On strategy, the company says it limited investment in legacy wellfields where returns would not support additional capital, and that a New Feasibility Study confirmed a wide-spaced wellfield design. FY2027 is described as a transition year of commissioning new wellfields, expanding water-treatment capacity and building foundations for a ramp-up, with a conference call held on the day of the release.

Risks shareholders should weigh

FY2027 guidance implies higher unit costs than FY2026, with C1 of $51 to $56 against $39 and AISC of $83 to $92 against $61. Production guidance is constrained by the decision to limit legacy wellfield investment and by the transition to a new wellfield design.

The company is under-contracted, so revenue is more exposed to uranium price movements, up or down. The FY2026 profit of $2.5 million is small relative to revenue, and sales included uranium purchased from other sources at an operating loss. The ramp-up depends on commissioning new wellfields and water-treatment capacity as planned.

What’s next

Boss will progressively commission new wellfields in FY2027, expand water treatment, work towards the production guidance range and hold a conference call on 27 August 2026 to discuss the results, with the production ramp-up to follow.
