Although the Q1/13 result was light versus 100 100 Q1/12 (C$0.31/share), this was anticipated with uranium sales and therefore 50 50 earnings are expected to be biased toward the second half of the year. 0 0 CCO Relative to S&P/TSX Comp 150 150

2013 Uranium Sales and Earnings Seasonality

Cameco has left uranium sales guidance for 2013 unchanged at 31Mlb to 33Mlb U3O8 with 60% of sales expected to fall into H2/13. Given that the same seasonality has been exhibited in every year since 2008 and Cameco’s customers must typically give six months notice for deliveries (implying good visibility to the end of October), BMO Research sees Cameco missing guidance on an annual basis as a relatively unlikely scenario. As such, BMO Research has made no changes to uranium sales forecasts for quarters two through four, leaving a strong sales bias toward the fourth quarter that reflects results in 2011 and 2012.

As uranium sales remain the key driver for Cameco, earnings are also expected to be heavily biased toward the fourth quarter. Fig 2: Cameco Quarterly Earnings (C$/Share, %)

Bruce Power Extension Increases Valuation

Bruce Power extension Cameco announced in its MD&A that Bruce Power has agreed with the Power increases the divisional Authority to amend the Bruce Power Refurbishment Implementation Agreement to valuation by 68%. extend the floor price applicable to power generated from the Bruce B reactors to between 2019 and 2020. This is expected to allow the reactors to continue to operate for longer than BMO Research’s previous forecasts, which assumed they ceased operations between 2015 and 2018 depending on the reactor. BMO Research now assumes that units 5 and 6 close at the end of 2019 and units 7 and 8 at the end of 2020. The net impact is to increase the valuation of Cameco’s interest in Bruce Power from C$99M to C$166M. Maintain Outperform and C$25 Target Price

Cameco remains BMO Research’s top pick in the uranium space. Cameco offers exposure to potential increases in the uranium price, as well as earnings downside protection through its contract book. The company is trading on a one year forward earnings multiple of 16x, versus an historical fair value range of 20–22x and up to 36x in the months preceding Fukushima. BMO Research maintains an Outperform recommendation for Cameco and a C$25 target C$25 target price price. represents 20x one year Although Cameco’s valuation has increased as a result of the Bruce Power extension and forward earnings. working capital adjustments, the C$25 target price continues to represent 20x one year forward forecast earnings.
