Peabody Reports Results For Quarter Ended June 30, 2023

Repurchased more than 8% of Shares Outstanding

Declared $0.075 Second Quarter Dividend

ST. LOUIS, July 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Peabody (NYSE: BTU) today reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $179.2 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $268.5 million, or $1.68 per diluted share in the first quarter.  The second quarter results included a $33.7 million provision for losses at NARM and Shoal Creek.  Peabody had Adjusted EBITDA1 of $358.2 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $390.6 million in the prior quarter.

"In the second quarter of 2023, our diverse operational platform allowed us to successfully execute on our plan despite continued volatility in the markets," said Peabody President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Grech.  "The strength of our seaborne portfolio is evidenced by our solid quarterly results notwithstanding a challenging pricing environment."

Highlights

  • Returned $262 million through our shareholder return program through July 19, reflecting $251 million of share repurchases and dividends of $11 million

  • Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $358 million, Operating Cash Flow of $353 million (includes $109 million working capital benefit that is largely expected to reverse next quarter) and Available Free Cash Flow1 ("AFCF") of $375 million

  • Resumed development coal production at Shoal Creek, after safely completing localized sealing of two longwall panels of the mine impacted by a fire in March

  • Exceeded anticipated seaborne metallurgical volumes by 18 percent, shipping 2.0 million tons

  • Ended the quarter with $1,081 million of Cash and Cash Equivalents

  • Declared second quarter dividend on common stock of $0.075 per share

_________________________________

1 Adjusted EBITDA and Available Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures.  Adjusted EBITDA margin is equal to segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by segment revenue. Revenue per Ton and Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton are equal to revenue by segment and Adjusted EBITDA by segment, respectively, divided by segment tons sold. Costs per Ton is equal to Revenue 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 reporting segment level. We consider all measures reported on a per ton basis, as well as Adjusted EBITDA margin, to be operating/statistical measures.

Shareholder Return Program

Through July 19, 2023, the Company returned $261.8 million to shareholders, including a fixed dividend of $10.8 million and share repurchases of $251.0 million.  The Company repurchased 12.0 million shares, or 8.3% of shares outstanding at an average price of $20.91 per share.

"The sustained efforts to enhance our financial strength and return capital to shareholders has resulted in an 8.3% reduction in shares outstanding in just one quarter, while continuing to create additional value for our stockholders," said Peabody Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Mark Spurbeck.

We remain committed to our shareholder return framework of returning at least 65% of annual AFCF.  While the Board of Directors continues to evaluate the shareholder return program, it currently views share repurchases as value accretive and an efficient way to return capital to shareholders.

AFCF for the first six months of 2023 was $636.6 million, resulting in at least $413.8 million available for the shareholder return program, of which $261.8 million was returned through July 19, 2023.  After the second quarter fixed dividend of $0.075 per share (declared July 27, 2023), at least $142.0 million remains available for additional share repurchases.

The PRB segment shipped 18.9 million tons at an average realized price of $13.71 per ton.  Tons sold declined by approximately 3.1 million tons compared to the first quarter, due to the impact of lower customer demand as a result of low natural gas prices, higher utility inventories and a tornado at NARM late in the second quarter which impacted train loadings.  PRB costs of $12.33 per ton were largely in-line with the first quarter as the impact of lower production volumes was offset by lower fuel and equipment maintenance costs.  The segment reported 10 percent Adjusted EBITDA margins and Adjusted EBITDA of $26.2 million.

The other U.S. thermal segment shipped 3.8 million tons at an average realized price of $53.63 per ton.  Tons sold decreased by approximately 0.7 million tons compared to the first quarter, due to lower customer demand from lower natural gas prices and higher utility inventories.  Costs per ton of $39.71 per ton were 2 percent lower than the first quarter due to sales mix and lower fuel costs.  The segment reported 26 percent Adjusted EBITDA margins and Adjusted EBITDA of $51.9 million.

Shoal Creek Mine and North Antelope Rochelle Mine Updates

On June 20, 2023, the Company announced that Shoal Creek, in coordination with MSHA, had safely completed localized sealing of two longwall panels in the J panel area of the mine impacted by a fire in March involving void fill material. Peabody has resumed development coal production in the new L panel area where better mining conditions are anticipated. A new longwall kit for the mine is expected to be delivered by the end of the year.  As a result of the fire, the Company has written off $29 million of equipment and underground development assets.

On June 23, 2023, North Antelope Rochelle sustained damage from a tornado which led to a temporary suspension of operations.  The mine resumed operations on June 25, 2023, and operations have largely returned to normal.  As a result of the tornado, the Company has written off $5 million of buildings, equipment and parts inventory.  The Company anticipates that incremental repair and clean-up costs will be recognized in future periods.

North Goonyella Redevelopment Update

The Company continues to advance redevelopment efforts at North Goonyella with key project milestones and critical path items on track.  Activities to date have included procuring equipment, refurbishment and replacement of surface infrastructure, Zone A remediation, completion of drilling program for Zone B re-ventilation and advancing work necessary to re-enter Zone B (sealed mine workings).  The next significant milestone, re-ventilation and re-entry of Zone B, is currently targeted for mid-September subject to regulatory approval.

Since commencing redevelopment in late 2022, the Company has invested $53 million of the initial approved redevelopment capital expenditures which includes further ventilation, equipment, conveyors, and infrastructure updates in anticipation of reaching development coal, subject to regulatory approvals, in the first quarter of 2024.

North Goonyella is a premium grade hard-coking coal longwall operation in Queensland Australia with over 70 million tons of reserves.  The project will benefit from substantial infrastructure and equipment in place at the mine.  North Goonyella is expected to reweight Peabody's long-term production and revenue toward metallurgical coal when the longwall production commences in 2026.  The project is expected to generate attractive returns at historical long term metallurgical prices solely for 20 million tons of longwall production over five years, with further options to develop the remaining reserves.

Market Update

Seaborne thermal coal markets remain volatile with prices declining during the second quarter driven by high coal and natural gas inventories in the northern hemisphere following an unseasonably warm winter.  We anticipate that the onset of peak summer energy demand followed by restocking in preparation for winter will contribute to a normalization of inventory levels providing support to seaborne thermal coal markets.  Overall, demand for seaborne thermal coal is robust, and supply remains constrained across major supply regions.

Within the seaborne metallurgical market, global crude steel output during the quarter was variable with interruptions at European blast furnaces offset by notable year on year crude steel production growth in both China and India.  Metallurgical coal supply has remained constrained primarily due to residual impacts of wet weather events in Queensland, during the first quarter of 2023.  The outlook for the metallurgical coal market remains positive with stable seaborne supply combined with anticipated increases in import demand for steel-making raw materials with improving crude steel production rates in Europe and North Asia coupled with growth in Indian steel production rates.

In the United States, overall electricity demand decreased nearly 4 percent year-over-year, negatively impacted by weather.  Through the six months ended June 30, 2023, electricity generation from thermal coal has declined year-over-year due to low gas prices and nearly level renewable generation.  Coal inventories have increased approximately 50 percent during the six months ended June 30, 2023.  Natural gas prices have recovered modestly from the lows of earlier this year with U.S natural gas prompt pricing at US$2.65/mmBtu.  Overall, near-term demand for US thermal coal is anticipated to improve in the third quarter in comparison to the second quarter.

Third Quarter 2023 Outlook   

Seaborne Thermal

  • Volumes are expected to be 4.2 million tons, including 2.7 million export tons. 0.3 million export tons are priced at $181 per ton, and approximately 1.4 million tons of high ash product and 1.0 million tons of Newcastle product are unpriced.
  • Costs are expected to be $45-$50 per ton.

Seaborne Metallurgical

  • Seaborne met volumes are expected to be 1.5 million tons. 0.2 million tons are priced at $216 per ton. The remaining unpriced volumes are expected to achieve 70 to 80 percent of the premium hard coking coal price index.
  • Costs are expected to be $115-$125 per ton.

U.S. Thermal

  • PRB volume is expected to be approximately 21 million tons at an average price of $13.80 per ton and costs of approximately $11.75 per ton.
  • Other U.S. Thermal volume is expected to be approximately 4.2 million tons at an average price of $50.50 per ton and costs of approximately $41 per ton.

(1)

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income from continuing operations before deducting net interest expense, income taxes, asset retirement
obligation expenses and depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is also adjusted for the discrete items that management
excluded in analyzing each of our segment's operating performance, as displayed in the reconciliation above. Adjusted EBITDA is used by
management as the primary metric to measure each of our segment's operating performance and allocate resources.

(2)

Total Reporting Segment Costs is defined as operating costs and expenses adjusted for the discrete items that management excluded in
analyzing each of our segment's operating performance, as displayed in the reconciliation above. Total Reporting Segment Costs is used by
management as a component of a metric to measure each of our segment's operating performance.

(3)

Available Free Cash Flow is defined as quarterly operating cash flow minus investing cash flow and distributions to noncontrolling interests;
plus/minus changes to restricted cash and collateral (excluding one-time effects of the recent surety agreement amendment) and other anticipated
expenditures. Available Free Cash Flow is used by management as a measure of our ability to generate excess cash flow from our business
operations.

 Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the securities laws. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include words or variation of words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," "projects," "forecasts," "targets," "would," "will," "should," "goal," "could" or "may" or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements provide management's or the Board's current expectations or predictions of future conditions, events, or results. All statements that address operating performance, events, or developments that may occur in the future are forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the shareholder return framework, execution of the Company's operating plans, market conditions for the Company's products, reclamation obligations, financial outlook, and liquidity requirements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and reflect Peabody's good faith beliefs, assumptions, and expectations, but they are not guarantees of future performance or events. Furthermore, Peabody disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, except as required by law. By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. 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, that are described in Peabody's periodic reports filed with the SEC including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2022 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended Mar. 31, 2023, 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.
