Peabody Reports Results For Quarter Ended June 30, 2021

ST. LOUIS, July 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Peabody (NYSE: BTU) today announced its second quarter 2021 operating results, including revenues of $723.4 million; loss from continuing operations, net of income taxes of $23.0 million; net loss attributable to common stockholders of $28.6 million; diluted loss per share from continuing operations of $0.26; and Adjusted EBITDA0F¹ of $122.1 million.

"We are optimistic about the future given strong coal market demand and pricing around the globe as economies continue to recover from the pandemic; our assets are responding to the current market cycle and continue to benefit from cost improvement initiatives," said Peabody President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Grech. "The company has taken a disciplined approach focusing on expanding margins, through ongoing operational improvements, cost controls and sales strategies, along with reducing debt, as we progress to position the company to be resilient in all market cycles."

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Second quarter revenues totaled $723.4 million compared to $626.7 million in the prior year primarily due to the impact of higher volumes and improved seaborne thermal pricing.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 15 percent from the prior year to $21.4 million as a result of the company's ongoing cost reduction efforts.

Depreciation, depletion, and amortization (DD&A) declined 13 percent from the prior year to $77.1 million, primarily due to the impairment at the North Antelope Rochelle Mine recorded in Q2 2020.

Interest expense of $45.4 million increased $11.1 million over the prior year due to higher borrowing costs and amortization of debt issuance costs.

Loss from continuing operations, net of income taxes totaled $23.0 million compared to $1.5 billion in the prior year, or $127.2 million excluding the $1.4 billion non-cash impairment of the North Antelope Rochelle Mine. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $122.1 million compared to $23.4 million in the prior year primarily due to higher realized seaborne thermal pricing, higher U.S. thermal volumes and improved costs across the platform.

Segment Performance

During the second quarter, the seaborne thermal segment shipped 4.1 million tons with exports of 2.0 million tons at an average realized price of $73 per ton and 2.1 million tons sold under a long-term domestic contract. Despite a year-over-year reduction in sales volumes, unfavorable exchange rates, and higher fuel and royalty costs, seaborne thermal segment costs of $29.61 per ton were largely in line with the prior year reflecting the continued impact of cost reduction initiatives and product mix. The segment reported 37 percent Adjusted EBITDA margins and Adjusted EBITDA of $71.4 million.

In the second quarter, Wilpinjong shipped 3.3 million tons at an average realized price of $38 per ton, which included 1.2 million tons of export sales at an average realized price of $63 per ton and 2.1 million tons of domestic sales at an average price of $22 per ton. Wilpinjong costs of $22 per ton were impacted by unfavorable exchange rates and higher fuel and royalty costs compared to the prior year. Operating cash flow was also impacted by timing of shipments, higher accounts receivable and higher inventory levels. Wilpinjong contributed approximately $52 million of Adjusted EBITDA, completed $7 million of capital expenditures and had $102 million of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021.

The seaborne met segment shipped 1.4 million tons at an average realized price of $85.48 per short ton in the second quarter, with Metropolitan restarting longwall production late in the quarter. Total segment costs of $104.24 per ton decreased 14% compared to the prior year as productivity improvements and increased sales volumes at the CMJV offset the impacts of unfavorable exchange rates, ramp up costs at Metropolitan and Shoal Creek idle costs. Seaborne met costs excluding Shoal Creek were approximately $95 per ton, favorable to $110 per ton in the prior year primarily due to fleet optimization and mine sequencing at the CMJV, which lowered costs by more than 20% to $84 per ton. The segment reported an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $26.4 million.

The PRB segment shipped 22.5 million tons at an average realized price of $11.06 per ton. PRB costs per ton decreased by two percent to $9.04 as higher fuel cost impact of $0.37 per ton was more than offset by 26% higher volumes over the prior year. The segment reported 18% Adjusted EBITDA margins and Adjusted EBITDA of $45.5 million.

The other U.S. thermal segment shipped 3.9 million tons at an average realized price of $40.70 per ton. Cost per ton decreased 5 percent from the prior year to $29.57 due to pit sequencing and timing of longwall moves in the prior year. The segment reported 27 percent Adjusted EBITDA margins and Adjusted EBITDA of $44.3 million.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Peabody ended the quarter with $561.9 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, a $61.8 million reduction over the prior quarter. The company retired approximately $84 million of debt in the quarter and reached agreements to retire an additional $50 million that will settle after June 30, 2021.

During the quarter, the company completed multiple bilateral debt-for-equity exchanges by issuing 4.5 million shares of common stock in exchange for $30.9 million of Senior Secured Notes due March 2022. The company also retired $53 million of other senior secured debt through open market repurchases. As a result, Peabody recorded a net gain on debt extinguishment of $11.8 million. The current portion of long-term debt increased by $25 million due primarily to the pending settlement of additional debt repurchases.

For the year, the company has retired $126 million of senior secured debt, with an additional $50 million pending settlement after June 30, 2021.

Also, during the quarter, the company sold 8.1 million shares of common stock under its previously announced "at-the-market" equity offering program (ATM), raising net cash proceeds of $65.1 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the company settled sales of an additional 2.7 million shares under the program, raising net cash proceeds of $21.5 million, resulting in 1.7 million shares remaining available for issuance under the currently authorized ATM program.

Outlook

Based on current market conditions, Peabody anticipates the following in 2021:

US Thermal Operations:

Coal deliveries will remain largely dependent on general economic conditions, weather, natural gas prices, utility inventory levels and rail performance.
Essentially all projected volumes priced and committed.
Based on expected production levels and current commodity prices, full year 2021 cost per ton in the PRB are estimated to be $9.35 and other U.S. thermal costs are estimated to be $30.50.

Seaborne Thermal Operations:

Higher seaborne thermal volumes in the second half as Wilpinjong and the Wambo JV complete development projects and reach projected production run rates.
Costs per ton are expected to be $33.75 due to product mix, higher expected royalties, exchange rates and fuel prices.
Second half Wilpinjong revenue and costs per ton are anticipated to be higher than first half 2021 as estimated export shipments (with higher realized pricing and higher preparation, transportation and royalty costs as compared to domestic shipments) are anticipated to be a higher proportion of total volumes. Peabody anticipates 3.7 million tons of export shipments and 3.6 million tons of domestic shipments for the remainder of the year.

Seaborne Met Operations:

The CMJV is anticipated to continue to recognize cost and productivity improvements with full year sales volumes at the high end of guidance of 3.5 – 4.0 million tons.
Metropolitan is expected to ship approximately 0.8 million tons in the second half of 2021 as the longwall reaches planned production levels.
Costs per ton, excluding Shoal Creek are expected to be $93.
The Shoal Creek prep plant upgrade project remains on schedule with completion expected in mid Q3. Negotiations remain ongoing with respect to the expired Shoal Creek labor contract.

Corporate and Other

SG&A expense guidance has been revised down to $80 million reflecting further reductions in overhead costs.
Capital expenditures are now estimated to be $200 million, a $25 million reduction from prior guidance, including major project capital of $100 million.
Interest expense is now expected to be approximately $190 million, including $40 million of non-cash expense, which reflects a $10 million decrease from prior guidance due to early debt retirements.
Peabody also anticipates the following cash impacts for the full year 2021:

$60 million related to final reclamation activities
$30 million related to postretirement benefits
$15 million final payment pursuant to settlement with multi-employer pension plan (MEPP), paid in July

These measures are not intended to serve as alternatives to U.S. GAAP measures of performance and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies.
