Centrus Energy Corp. (NYSE:LEU) ("Centrus"), a trusted supplier of nuclear fuel and services, today announced that it has acquired Westerman Holdings, LLC ("Westerman"), one of Centrus' largest and most diversified suppliers, for approximately $116 million, funded through a combination of approximately $95 million cash on hand and $21 million of equity. The transaction is expected to be accretive to adjusted earnings per share in the first year following closing.

The acquisition represents a significant milestone for Centrus as it builds supply chain resilience while diversifying its revenue base. Westerman's expertise strengthens and de-risks Centrus' supply chain by securing and bringing in-house its critical manufacturing capabilities. The acquisition simultaneously broadens Centrus' manufacturing platform, customer base, and future revenue opportunities through commercial and operational synergies.

The addition of Westerman supports Centrus' previously announced multi-billion-dollar expansion of uranium enrichment capacity. Westerman is an existing manufacturer for centrifuge casings and other major centrifuge components for Centrus. With the acquisition, Centrus intends to secure this key supplier while expanding Westerman's capabilities. Westerman currently services a number of non-nuclear customers across a variety of industries including oil and gas as well as other high-growth industrial sectors, diversifying Centrus' revenue base beyond its core nuclear business. The acquisition is expected to result in lower project costs for Centrus and greater efficiencies with an integrated supply chain.

Centrus acquired all of Westerman's business lines and Westerman has become a subsidiary within Centrus. Westerman will continue to operate under the Westerman name, leveraging its brand identity and customer relationships.

Founded in 1909, Westerman is an established, high-quality industrial fabrication manufacturer with specialized capabilities serving the nuclear, oil and gas, and broader high-growth industrial markets. With approximately 400 employees and four world-class facilities in Ohio, Oklahoma, and Wyoming, Westerman provides a broad portfolio of products that span upstream and midstream oil and gas production equipment, engineered industrial systems, and nuclear‑grade products including UF6 cylinders.
