Honeymoon Output And Low Costs Will Support Stronger Long Term Uranium Potential

Catalysts

About Boss Energy

Boss Energy is a uranium producer with its core Honeymoon operation and a 30% interest in the Alta Mesa uranium project.

What are the underlying business or industry changes driving this perspective?

• Record quarterly Honeymoon output of 456,000 pounds of uranium drummed, alongside guidance for 1.6 million pounds in FY26 production, points to a larger volume base that can support higher revenue over time if this operational profile is sustained or improved.
• C1 cash costs of $30 per pound and revised FY26 C1 guidance of $36 to $40 per pound, together with all in sustaining cost guidance of $60 to $64 per pound, indicate a focus on efficiency that can support stronger net margins and earnings if realized prices stay comfortably above the cost base.
• The new feasibility study centered on a wide space wellfield design, targeting lower operating and sustaining costs, access to lower grade mineralization and a longer mine life, could support higher long term production and margin resilience, which would flow through to earnings and cash flow.
• Extensive work on Honeymoon and the Gould’s Dam and Jason’s satellite deposits, including updated mineral resource modeling, drilling and test patterns, positions Boss Energy to potentially grow its recoverable uranium base and extend production duration, which would support revenue visibility and capital efficiency.
• A strong balance sheet with $208 million of cash and liquid assets, no debt and 1.62 million pounds of drummed uranium inventory gives the company flexibility to fund growth projects and feasibility work while timing sales into tight uranium market conditions, which can influence realized pricing, revenue and cash generation.

Assumptions

How have these above catalysts been quantified?

• This narrative explores a more optimistic perspective on Boss Energy compared to the consensus, based on a Fair Value that aligns with the bullish cohort of analysts.
• The bullish analysts are assuming Boss Energy's revenue will grow by 40.2% annually over the next 3 years.
• The bullish analysts assume that profit margins will increase from 1.7% today to 24.3% in 3 years time.
• The bullish analysts expect earnings to reach A$101.1 million (and earnings per share of A$0.48) by about September 2029, up from A$2.5 million today. However, there is some disagreement amongst the analysts with the more bearish ones expecting earnings as low as A$13.5 million.
• In order for the above numbers to justify the price target of the more bullish analyst cohort, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 12.3x on those 2029 earnings, down from 223.6x today. This future PE is lower than the current PE for the AU Oil and Gas industry at 15.7x.
• The bullish analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to remain consistent over the next 3 years.
• To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 7.18%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.

Risks

What could happen that would invalidate this narrative?

• A large portion of Honeymoon and Alta Mesa production depends on bringing new wellfields online in sequence, so any sustained issues with wellfield performance, flushing or commissioning could limit volumes over several years, which would weigh on revenue and earnings.
• The legacy contract that realizes roughly 65% to 70% of spot pricing, together with other base escalated and market linked contracts with floors and ceilings, could cap upside from higher uranium prices over time, which would constrain realized pricing, revenue and net margins.
• As Honeymoon moves beyond the initial 1.25 million pounds and begins paying royalties while also investing more in project and supporting infrastructure, the combined royalty and capital burden could keep all in sustaining costs higher over the long run, which would pressure net margins and free cash flow.
• The wide space wellfield design and new feasibility study are intended to reduce costs and extend mine life. However, if test work or the final study do not support materially lower costs or higher recoveries, deferred drilling and capital decisions made today could lead to less efficient development, which would negatively affect long term net margins and earnings.
• Boss Energy remains significantly exposed to uranium prices through an inventory of 1.62 million pounds and a largely uncontracted book after 2026, so any prolonged weakness in uranium pricing or lower realized prices across legacy and future contracts could reduce revenue, compress margins and limit earnings growth.

Valuation

How have all the factors above been brought together to estimate a fair value?

• The assumed bullish price target for Boss Energy is A$2.43, which represents up to two standard deviations above the consensus price target of A$1.52. This valuation is based on what can be assumed as the expectations of Boss Energy's future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors from analysts on the bullish end of the spectrum.
• However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of A$2.77, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just A$1.0.
• In order for you to agree with the more bullish analyst cohort, you'd need to believe that by 2029, revenues will be A$416.3 million, earnings will come to A$101.1 million, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 12.3x, assuming you use a discount rate of 7.2%.
• Given the current share price of A$1.37, the analyst price target of A$2.43 is 43.6% higher.
• We always encourage you to reach your own conclusions though. So sense check these analyst numbers against your own assumptions and expectations based on your understanding of the business and what you believe is probable.
