FYI: UPDATE 1-Cameco earnings jump on uranium shipments, Bruce Power sale

By Rod Nickel

April 29 (Reuters) - Uranium producer Cameco Corp reported a big jump in quarterly earnings on Tuesday, boosted by higher deliveries and the sale of its interest in Bruce Power Limited Partnership.

For the first quarter, earnings jumped to C$131 million ($118.80 million), or 33 Canadian cents a share, from C$9 million, or 2 Canadian cents in the year-ago quarter. Revenue fell six percent to C$419 million.

Adjusted earnings, excluding the sale of Cameco's interest in Bruce Power and other items, were C$36 million, or 9 Canadian cents a share, up from C$27 million, or 7 Canadian cents.
Analysts, on average, had expected adjusted earnings of 10 Canadian cents a share on revenue of C$472.77 million, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

Cameco said on Jan. 31 it would sell its interest in Bruce Power, a partnership that operates one of the world's largest nuclear generating facilities in Ontario, for C$450 million.
Cameco's uranium sales surged 35 percent to 6.9 million pounds in the quarter, while its average realized uranium price slipped 4 percent to $46.60 per pound. In Canadian currency, however, Cameco's average realized uranium price rose 5 percent to C$50.58, due to the weakening of the Canadian dollar.
