The Orano Board of Directors met yesterday and approved the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. Commenting on the results, Nicolas Maes, Chief Executive Officer, said: "2024 will go down as a special year with exceptional financial results, marked in particular by Back End export contracts, but also difficult times from a human and operational point of view with the loss of control over our entities in Niger. In a favorable market, we will continue our efforts to improve industrial performance and develop our activities in 2025, with strong growth in investments. Concrete advances in nuclear medicine and the launch of the program to renew our treatment and recycling facilities illustrate this dynamic and our actions in favor of the climate and for a healthy and resource-efficient world."

The financial indicators are defined in the financial glossary in Appendix 1 Definitions
The group acknowledged the loss of operational control over its subsidiaries in Niger (Somaïr, Cominak and Imouraren) and removed them from the consolidated financial statements with effect fromDecember 1, 2024.
Backlog
Order intake amounted to €9,069 million, of which 42% outside France. This performance confirms Orano's strong positioning in its markets with the signing of long-term multi-year contracts, including the Treatment-Recycling contract with EDF for the 2024-2026 period.
Orano's backlog thus increased to €35.9 billion at the end of 2024 (compared to €30.8 billion at the end of 2023), of which +€1.3 billion from the revaluation of market indicators and currency effects. At the end of 2024, the backlog represented more than 7 years of revenue (adjusted for the one-off contribution of Back End export contracts in 2024).
Revenue
Orano's revenue reached €5,874 million in 2024, a sharp increase on 2023 (€4,775 million; +23.0% like-for-like). The increase in sales is mainly attributable to the one-off impact of contracts for close to €1 billion, signed in November 2024, with Japanese utilities for the return of their nuclear waste in the Back End activity. Aside from these items, revenue is in line with the group's expectations in relation to its backlog outflow and the increase in market prices in Mining and Front End.
Share of revenue from export customers reached 51.4% in 2024, versus 49.7% in 2023.
- Mining segment revenue totals €1,502 million, up +13.9% compared to 2023 (+14.0% on a like-for-like basis). It benefited from the positive effects of the increase in uranium prices over the period.
- Front End revenue stands at €1,307 million, stable compared to 2023 (+0.0% like-for-like). A lower volume effect linked to the backlog outflow is offset by a positive price effect.
- Back End revenue, which includes the Recycling, Nuclear Packages and Services, Dismantling and Services, and Projects activities, totaled €3,027 million, up +41.8% compared to 2023 (+41.8% like-for-like). This significant increase is mainly due to the one-off contribution of contracts with Japanese utilities.
- Revenue from Corporate and other operations, including Orano Med, amounted to €38 million compared to €17 million in 2023. This increase is explained by Orano Med's recognition of a portion of the fee related to the signing of the licensing agreement with Sanofi on the marketing rights for AlphaMedix.
Operating income
Orano's operating income stands at €1,085 million, an increase of €450 million compared to 2023. This change can be analyzed as follows:
- Lower operating income for the Mining segment, which stands at €122 million, down from €196 million in 2023. This decrease mainly reflects the loss of control of the subsidiaries in Niger due to the interference of the Nigerien authorities in the management of these companies. This decrease is partially offset by the increase in uranium prices and favorable exchange rate effects.
- An increase in Front End operating income, which totals €425 million, compared with €368 million in 2023. This increase is explained by a favorable price mix effect on contracts, in part reduced by the impact of labor movements at production sites, particularly in the conversion segment.
- An increase of €494 million in the Back End which recorded operating income of €616 million, compared to €122 million in 2023. This increase is due to the same effect as that explaining the change in revenue, partly offset by (i) revised completion margins on long-term contracts and (ii) additional provisions for end-of-lifecycle activities.
- A decrease in operating income for Corporate and other operations, which stands at -€77 million, compared to -€50 million in 2023. This change is mainly due to the increase in the costs of studies and the development of the batteries program in accordance with the roadmap.
Adjusted net income attributable to owners of the parent
Adjusted net income attributable to owners of the parent reflects Orano's industrial performance independently of the impact of the financial markets on the return on earmarked assets (which must be appreciated over the long term) and of regulatory changes or of discount rates related to end-of-lifecycle commitments. The definition of adjusted net income attributable to owners of the parent is provided in Appendix 1 of this document.
Adjusted net income attributable to owners of the parent amounts to +€597 million in 2024, compared to +€22 million in 2023. Based on the operating income discussed above, adjusted net income attributable to owners of the parent is obtained by adding the following main items:
- Adjusted financial income, which amounts to -€336 million in 2024, compared to -€392 million in 2023. This improvement is attributable to (i) a decrease in the cost of financial debt, (ii) foreign exchange gains and (iii) the favorable premiums/discounts on foreign exchange hedging instruments.
- The adjusted net tax expense, which is -€62 million compared with -€114 million in 2023. This decrease is attributable to the recognition of deferred tax assets in connection with the revised medium-term outlook for income.
- Net income attributable to non-controlling interests, which stands at -€78 million, compared to -€105 million in 2023, associated with the share of income attributable to minority shareholders.
Net income attributable to owners of the parent
Net income attributable to owners of the parent stands at +€633 million in 2024, versus +€217 million in 2023.
Between the two periods, the increase in adjusted net income, mainly due to the one-off contribution of contracts with Japanese utilities for the return of their nuclear waste, is reduced by a lower return on assets earmarked for end-of-lifecycle operations and unfavorable changes in the discount rate on end-of-lifecycle liabilities.
The following table reconciles the adjusted net income attributable to owners of the parent with the reported net income attributable to owners of the parent by reintegrating the financial impacts related to end-of-lifecycle commitments:
In millions of euros | Dec. 31, 2024 | Dec. 31, 2023 | Change |
Adjusted net income attributable to owners of the parent | 597 | 22 | +€575M |
Unwinding expenses on end-of-lifecycle liabilities | (401) | (406) | +€5 M |
Impact of changes in end-of-lifecycle operation discount rates | (109) | (60) | (€49 M) |
Return on earmarked assets | 538 | 656 | (€118 M) |
Tax impact of adjustments | 8 | 5 | +€3 M |
Published net income attributable to owners of the parent | 633 | 217 | €416 M |
Operating cash flow
Orano's EBITDA stands at €2,067 million, up sharply compared with 2023 when it stood at €1,228 million. This increase of +€840 million is mainly due to the one-off contribution of contracts signed in November 2024 with Japanese utilities, combined with positive price effects in the Mining and Front End sectors. EBITDA to revenue rate rose to 35.2% in 2024, from 25.7% in 2023.
The change in operating WCR is -€149 million compared to +€250 million in 2023, i.e. a contribution reduction of -€399 million. This decrease is mainly linked to the Back End sector, with the unfavorable effect of the neutralization in the change in working capital of the prior pre-financing received from Japanese utilities under the aforementioned nuclear waste return contracts. This effect masks the positive contribution in 2024 of advances received from customers to fund investments in recycling.
Net investments amount to €980 million, compared to €815 million in 2023. Most of this increase of €165 million comes from the ramp-up of the Georges Besse II capacity extension project in the enrichment sector.
Orano's operating cash flow rose to €937 million during 2024, compared to €663 million in 2023.
Net cash flow from company operations
Based on the operating cash flow, the net cash flow from company operations is obtained by adding:
- The cash cost on financial transactions for -€179 million, up compared to 2023 (-€168 million). Between the two periods, the decrease in the cash cost of debt is offset by an increase in interest on prepayments from customers;
- Cash consumption linked to end-of-lifecycle operations of -€182 million (compared with -€98 million in 2023). This increase is due to contributions to dedicated funds mainly for the commissioning of facilities and commitments related to the contracts with Japanese utilities for the return of their waste. The coverage rate of end-of-lifecycle commitments stood at 97.0% at the end of 2024 (compared to 100.2% at the end of 2023);
- Taxes payable of -€102 million, up compared to 2023 (-€60 million) linked to (i) an increase in the amounts paid by foreign subsidiaries, particularly in Mining, and (ii) a comparable basis in 2023 benefiting from the refund of an overpayment;
- Other items totaling -€120 million, up compared to 2023 (-€90 million). This increase is mainly attributable to the payment of dividends to minority partners in Mining and the cash paid for the creation of the two joint ventures Neomat CAM and Neomat PCAM as part of the joint project with XTC New Energy to produce batteries for electric vehicles.
Net cash flow from company operations thus amounts to +€354 million at December 31, 2024, compared to +€247 million in 2023.
Net financial debt and cash
At December 31, 2024, Orano has €1.3 billion in cash, plus €0.7 billion in cash management current financial assets.
This cash position is strengthened by an undrawn syndicated credit facility of €880 million, maturing at the end of May 2029.
The group's total net financial debt is €0.78 billion at December 31, 2024, compared to €1.48 billion at December 31, 2023, down thanks to net cash flow from activities of +€354 million over the period and a capital increase in cash of €300 million, fully subscribed by the French State in October 2024 to support the development of the group's activities.
II. Events since the last publication
- On September 12, 2024, Orano Med signed a licensing agreement with Sanofi on the marketing rights for AlphaMedix, with Orano Med remaining responsible for its production thanks to its global industrial platform under development. On October 17, 2024, Orano Med and Sanofi also signed an agreement to combine their expertise to accelerate the development of next-generation internal vectorized radiotherapies as part of a new entity (Orano Med Theranostics) under the Orano Med brand. Sanofi will acquire a 16% stake in the new entity for an amount of €300 million.
- On October 10, 2024, Orano celebrated the laying of the foundation stone of the extension at the Georges Besse II plant on the Tricastin site (Drôme and Vaucluse). Approved by the Board of Directors on October 19, 2023, this investment, for a provisional amount of nearly €1.75 billion, will enable Orano to increase its production capacity by more than 30%, equal to 2.5 million Separation Work Units (SWUs). This capacity extension meets the demands of utility customers to strengthen their security of supply, thanks to a first production scheduled for 2028 and full commissioning in 2030.
- The Board of Directors of Orano SA, on October 24, 2024, duly noted the completion of a capital increase with preemptive subscription rights for a total amount of €299,999,952, through the creation and issue of 9,146,340 new ordinary shares with a par value of €0.50 each and an issue premium of €32.30 per share. This transaction, decided by the General Meeting of October 9, 2024, was fully subscribed and paid up in cash by the French State. Following its completion, Orano SA is 90.33% owned by the French State and JNFL and MHI each have a 4.83% stake.
- On November 29, 2024, Orano and its Japanese partners signed several contracts for the return of all Japanese nuclear waste still stored at the la Hague plant in La Manche. In accordance with the clauses provided for in the contracts, the equivalent in mass and radioactivity of this waste contained in the used fuel elements must be returned to Japan, a solution authorized by the French authorities on November 27, 2024. Between 1981 and 1999, contracts for the processing of used fuel were signed with ten Japanese utilities. These contracts enabled the recycling of fuel elements from Japanese nuclear reactors as well as the packaging of residual waste. 2,793 metric tons of fuel were processed at the Orano la Hague plant. Almost 97% of the total radioactivity has already been returned.
- In 2024, the group experienced interference from the Nigerien authorities in the governance and control of the operations of its three subsidiaries Somaïr (63.5% owned), Cominak (69% owned) and Imouraren (63.5% owned). In this context and as a result, Orano deconsolidated these three entities in the group's consolidated financial statements with effect from December 1, 2024. Lastly, and after several attempts at amicable resolutions that remained unsuccessful, Orano initiated the filing of several proceedings before the competent international courts in order to obtain compensation for its damage.
III. Financial outlook for 2025
After an exceptional year marked by the one-off contribution of contracts with Japanese utilities in the Back End, Orano is aiming for solid results in 2025, in a phase of major investments, with:
- a revenue close to €5 billion, a high level in line with the backlog outflow dynamics;
- an EBITDA to revenue rate of between 23% and 25%;
- a positive net cash flow whilst ensuring the ramp-up of the investment program initiated in 2024.

Appendix 1 Definitions
- Like-for-like (LFL): at constant exchange rates and consolidation scope.
- Net operating working capital requirement (Net operating WCR):
Net operating WCR represents all of the current assets and liabilities related directly to operations. It includes the following items:
- net inventories and work in progress;
- net trade accounts receivable and related accounts;
- contract assets;
- advances paid;
- other accounts receivable, accrued income and prepaid expenses;
- less: trade payables and related accounts, contract liabilities and accrued liabilities.
Note: Net operating WCR does not include non-operating receivables and payables such as income tax liabilities, amounts receivable on the sale of non-current assets, and liabilities in respect of the purchase of non-current assets.
- Backlog:
The backlog is determined on the basis of firm orders, excluding unconfirmed options, using the contractually set prices for the fixed component of the backlog and, for the variable component, the market prices based on the forecast price curves prepared and updated by Orano. Orders in hedged foreign currencies are valued at the rate hedged. Non-hedged orders are valued at the rate in effect on the last day of the period. With respect to long-term contracts in progress at the closing date, for which revenue is recognized in accordance with the percentage-of-completion, the amount included in the backlog corresponds to the difference between the forecast revenue of the contract at completion and the revenue already recognized for this contract; it therefore includes indexation assumptions and contract price revision assumptions taken into account by the group to value the forecast revenue at completion.
- Net cash flow from company operations:
Net cash flow from company operations is equal to the sum of the following items:
- operating cash flow;
- cash flow from end-of-lifecycle operations;
- change in non-operating receivables and liabilities;
- repayment of lease liabilities;
- financial income paid;
- tax on financial income paid;
- dividends paid to minority shareholders of consolidated subsidiaries;
- net cash flow from operations sold, discontinued and held for sale, and cash flow from the sale of those operations;
- acquisitions and disposals of current and non-current financial assets, with the exception of bank deposits held for margin calls on derivative instruments or collateral backed by structured financing and cash management financial assets.
Net cash flow from company operations thus corresponds to the change in net debt (i) with the exception of transactions with the shareholders of Orano SA, accrued interest not yet due for the financial year and currency translation adjustments, and (ii) including accrued interest not yet due for financial year N-1.
- Operating cash flow (OCF):
Operating cash flow (OCF) represents the amount of cash flows generated by operating activities before corporate taxes and taking into account the cash flows that would have occurred in the absence of offsetting between the payment of income taxes and the repayment of the research tax credit receivable. It is equal to the sum of the following items:
- EBITDA;
- plus the decrease or minus the increase in operating working capital requirement between the beginning and the end of the period (excluding reclassifications, currency translation differences and changes in consolidation scope);
- minus acquisitions of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, net of changes in accounts payable related to fixed assets;
- plus proceeds from disposals of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets included in operating income, net of changes in receivables on the disposal of non-current assets;
- plus prepayments received from customers during the period on non-current assets;
- plus acquisitions (or disposals) of consolidated companies (excluding equity associates), net of the cash acquired.
- Net debt:
Net debt is defined as the sum of all short and long-term borrowings, less cash and cash equivalents, financial instruments recorded on the assets side of the balance sheet including borrowings, bank deposits constituted for margin calls on derivative instruments and collateral backed by structured financing and cash management financial assets.
- EBITDA:
EBITDA is equal to operating income restated for net depreciation, amortization and operating provisions (excluding net impairment of current assets) as well as net gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, gains and losses on asset leases and effects of takeovers and losses of control. EBITDA is restated as follows:
- to reflect the cash flows related to employee benefits (benefits paid and contribution to coverage assets) in lieu of the service cost recognized;
- exclude the cost of end-of-lifecycle operations for the group's nuclear facilities (dismantling, waste retrieval and conditioning) carried out during the financial year.
- Cash flows from end-of-lifecycle operations:
This indicator encompasses all of the cash flows linked to end-of-lifecycle operations and to assets earmarked to cover those operations. It is equal to the sum of the following items:
- revenue from the portfolio of earmarked assets, cash from disposals of earmarked assets;
- full and final payments received for facility dismantling;
- minus acquisitions of earmarked assets;
- minus cash spent during the year on end-of-lifecycle operations;
- minus full and final payments paid for facility dismantling.
- Adjusted net income attributable to owners of the parent:
This indicator is used to reflect Orano's industrial performance independently of the impact of financial markets and regulatory changes in respect of end-of-lifecycle commitments. It comprises net income attributable to owners of the parent, adjusted for the following items:
- return on earmarked assets;
- impact of changes in discount and inflation rates;
- unwinding expenses on end-of-lifecycle operations (regulated scope);
- significant impacts of regulatory changes on end-of-lifecycle commitment estimates (adjustment impacting operating income);
- related tax effects.
