PEABODY REPORTS RESULTS FOR FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Peabody (NYSE: BTU) today announced its fourth quarter 2021 operating results, including revenues of $1,264.6 million; net income attributable to common stockholders of $513.0 million; diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $3.90; and Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $444.4 million.

During the quarter, the company generated Free Cash Flow of $426.6 million and retired an additional $200 million of senior secured debt, resulting in approximately $420 million of debt retirements year to date, more than 26% of debt outstanding at the start of the year.

"Our robust fourth quarter results further demonstrate the capability of our diverse mine portfolio which continues to benefit from strong market fundamentals driven by the vital necessity for coal to produce reliable energy and steel to fuel the global economy," said Peabody President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Grech. "We continue to experience strong market dynamics, and as a result we have significant forward sales commitments and are adding incremental production capacity to meet market demand for our products, while remaining focused on cost competitiveness."

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Financial Results

Revenues totaled $1,264.6 million, including $149 million of unrealized mark-to-market gains related to forward pricing hedges, compared to $737.2 million of revenues in the prior year, a 72 percent increase, reflecting the significant improvements in both seaborne met coal and thermal coal pricing realizations.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 7 percent from the prior year to $20.7 million as a result of the company's ongoing cost efficiency efforts.

The company recognized income from equity affiliates of $70.7 million, compared to a loss from equity affiliates of $34.4 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year, primarily related to its fifty percent interest in Middlemount. Middlemount realized 58 percent margins which benefited Peabody's 0.4 million tons share of semi-hard / PCI met coal shipped in the quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled $444.4 million compared to $103.2 million in the prior year, a 331 percent increase, primarily due to higher seaborne margins.

Full-year 2021 revenues totaled $3,318.3 million compared to $2,881.1 million in the prior year primarily due to improved seaborne pricing in the second half of the year. Full-year 2021 income attributable to common stockholders totaled $360.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA totaled $916.7 million compared to a loss attributable to common stockholders of $1,870.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $258.8 million in the prior year.

During the fourth quarter, the seaborne thermal segment shipped 4.6 million tons including 2.7 million export tons at an average realized price of $96 per ton and 1.9 million tons sold under domestic contracts. Tons sold for the quarter were negatively impacted by 0.6 million tons due to heavy rainfall in the Hunter Valley associated with the La Niña weather pattern and continued COVID related staffing shortages. Fourth quarter seaborne thermal segment costs of $33.45 per ton increased 24 percent compared to the prior year, primarily due to 84 percent higher sales realizations resulting in higher royalties, higher fuel prices and weather-related lower volume. The segment reported Adjusted EBITDA margins of nearly 50 percent and Adjusted EBITDA of $148.8 million, in the fourth quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Wilpinjong shipped 3.5 million tons at an average realized price of $48 per ton, which included 1.6 million tons of export sales at an average realized price of $78 per ton and 1.9 million domestic tons at an average price of $22. Tons sold for the quarter were negatively impacted by approximately 0.4 million tons due to the weather and COVID related staffing impacts noted above. Average Wilpinjong costs of $23.75 per ton were 25 percent higher than the prior year due to higher royalties on sales realizations that nearly doubled over prior year, higher fuel prices and weather-related volume impacts. In the fourth quarter, Wilpinjong contributed approximately $84.6 million to Adjusted EBITDA and completed $2.1 million of capital expenditures. For the full year Wilpinjong reported sales of 13.2 million tons (5.5 million export tons at an average realized price of $64 per ton and 7.7 million domestic tons at an average price of $22.50 per ton), cost per ton of $23.25 and had $206.6 million of cash at December 31, 2021.

The seaborne met segment shipped 1.6 million tons at an average realized price of $211 per ton in the fourth quarter. Total segment costs of $105.70 per ton decreased 1 percent compared to the prior year despite significant increase in royalties on a more than 150 percent increase in sales realizations, higher fuel prices and persistent wet weather impacting our Coppabella and Moorvale mines. Segment costs benefited in the quarter from an improved cost structure, sustained productivity improvements at Metropolitan and resumption of longwall production at Shoal Creek. The segment reported 50% Adjusted EBITDA margins and Adjusted EBITDA of $169.6 million, in the fourth quarter.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Peabody ended the quarter with $954.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, a $367.3 million increase over the prior quarter. In the fourth quarter, the company generated $438.4 million of operating cash flow and used $11.8 million of investing cash flow (net of cash receipts from Middlemount and other related parties of $36.3 million), resulting in Free Cash Flow of $426.6 million. Cash margin posted related to financial derivative sales declined by $110 million in the quarter, resulting in $130 million posted at December 31, 2021.

During the quarter, the company continued to make progress on its debt reduction activities. The company retired $154.4 million of senior secured debt through open market repurchases. The company also completed multiple debt-for-equity exchanges and issued 3.3 million shares of common stock in exchange for $45.4 million of senior secured notes. As a result, Peabody retired $199.9 million of senior secured debt and recorded a net gain on early debt extinguishment of $1.9 million in the fourth quarter. For the full year, the company retired approximately $420 million of senior secured debt, further reducing fixed charges and improving the Company's financial resiliency.

During the fourth quarter, the company sold an additional 7.7 million shares of common stock under its previously announced "at-the-market" equity offering program (ATM), raising net cash proceeds of $92.6 million and resulting in 7.7 million shares remaining available under the ATM program.

Outlook

Peabody notes the following for 2022:

U.S. Thermal Operations

U.S. thermal volumes are expected to be higher than prior year as both the PRB and Other U.S. Thermal segments anticipate higher production to meet customer demand.
Essentially all base volumes are priced and committed while incremental volumes anticipated in the PRB from ongoing one-time investments in production capacity remain open to spot pricing.
Cost per ton are anticipated to increase compared to the prior year as a result of higher royalties and fuel prices, in addition to incremental costs to increase near term production.

Seaborne Thermal Operations

Seaborne thermal volumes are expected to be consistent with prior year.
Robust margins from anticipated strong prices are expected to more than offset higher royalties and fuel prices.

Seaborne Met Operations

Seaborne met volumes are expected to increase substantially resulting from a full year of production at Metropolitan and Shoal Creek, with Shoal Creek ramping up longwall production through the first quarter.
Robust margins from anticipated strong prices are expected to more than offset higher royalties and fuel prices.

Costs per Ton is equal to Revenues per Ton less Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton. Management believes Costs per Ton and Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton best reflect controllable costs and operating results at the mining segment level. We consider all measures reported on a per ton basis to be operating/statistical measures; however, we include reconciliations of the related non-GAAP financial measures (Adjusted EBITDA and Total Reporting Segment Costs) in the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section in this document.
(7)	Includes revenue-based production taxes and royalties; excludes depreciation, depletion and amortization; asset retirement obligation expenses; selling and administrative expenses; restructuring charges; asset impairment; amortization of take-or-pay contract-based intangibles; and certain other costs related to post-mining activities.

This information is intended to be reviewed in conjunction with the company's filings with the SEC.

Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, a variety of economic, competitive and regulatory factors, many of which are beyond Peabody's control, including the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and factors that are described in Peabody's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2020, and other factors that Peabody may describe from time to time in other filings with the SEC. You may get such filings for free at Peabody's website at www.peabodyenergy.com. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and, consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.
