Denison Mine (DNN) to Report Q3 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Denison Mine Corp (DNN - Free Report) is expected to register a loss of 1 cent per share when it reports third-quarter 2023 results on Nov 8.
The estimate has been unchanged over the past 30 days. The company had reported a loss per share of 1 cent in the third quarter of 2022.
Q2 Results
In the last reported quarter, Denison Mine reported a year-over-year decline in revenues. The company reported break-even earnings per share in the second quarter of 2023 against the loss per share of 2 cents in the second quarter of 2022. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the second quarter was a loss of 1 cent per share.
Denison Mine’s earnings have outpaced the consensus estimate in three of the trailing four quarters while coming in line in one quarter, the average surprise being 75%.
Denison is a uranium exploration and development company with interests focused in the Athabasca Basin region of northern Saskatchewan, Canada. It has a 95% interest in its flagship Wheeler River Uranium Project, which is the largest undeveloped uranium project in the infrastructure-rich eastern portion of the Athabasca Basin region of northern Saskatchewan.
Denison holds a 22.5% ownership interest in the MLJV (a joint venture with Orano Canada) and the McClean Lake uranium mill, one of the world’s largest uranium processing facilities, which is contracted to process ore from the Cigar Lake mine under a toll milling agreement.
In the second quarter of 2023, the McClean Lake mill processed 3.8 million pounds of uranium, down compared with 5.4 million in the second quarter of 2022. Denison recorded toll milling revenues of $0.97 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared with $1.5 million in the year-ago quarter. The decrease in toll milling in the current quarter is due to the mill processing fewer pounds of uranium for the Cigar Lake Joint Venture. Notably, the company’s toll milling revenues fluctuate due to the timing of uranium processing at the McClean Lake mill, as well as changes to the estimated mineral resources of the Cigar Lake mine.
Denison’s Closed Mines group has provided long-term care and maintenance for closed mine sites. It manages Denison’s Elliot Lake reclamation projects and provides related services for certain third-party projects. The company’s third-quarter revenues are likely to reflect the recent increase in care and maintenance activities at certain sites. However, the group is also expected to have witnessed an increase in labor and other costs due to this increased activity
The company has been witnessing higher general and administrative expenses, which comprise head office salaries and benefits, office costs in multiple regions, audit and regulatory costs, legal fees, investor relations expenses and project costs. Increases in compliance costs (stock exchange fees, audit fees, etc.), as well as increased travel costs associated with site visits to the Wheeler River FFT site, are also expected to have driven these costs higher. The company’s results in the third quarter are also likely to be impacted by exploration and evaluation costs.
