Insights

Alpha's Q2 2024 results show a significant decline in financial performance compared to Q1 2024 and Q2 2023. Net income dropped to $58.9 million ($4.49 per diluted share) from $127.0 million in Q1 2024. Adjusted EBITDA fell to $116.0 million from $189.6 million in Q1.

The Met segment's coal sales realization decreased to $141.86 per ton from $166.68 in Q1, indicating pricing pressure. However, cost of coal sales improved to $109.31 per ton from $115.65, showing effective cost management.

Positively, total liquidity increased by 25% to $356.7 million, providing a financial buffer. The ongoing share repurchase program, with $1.1 billion spent so far, demonstrates confidence in the company's value.

The metallurgical coal market is facing significant headwinds. Weakening steel demand and geopolitical uncertainties are pressuring prices and volumes. This is evident in Alpha's 71% commitment rate for 2024 metallurgical coal at an average price of $157.97 per ton, lower than current realizations.

The thermal coal outlook appears stable, with 100% commitment for 2024 at $75.96 per ton. The company's ability to secure commitments in a challenging market is noteworthy, but the reduced pricing suggests a cautious industry outlook.

Alpha's focus on cost control and operational efficiency will be important in navigating these market conditions. The guidance for 2024 Met segment costs ($110-$116 per ton) indicates expected stability in operations despite market pressures.

Alpha's performance reflects broader industry challenges in the metallurgical coal sector. The company's ability to increase shipments (4.6 million tons vs 4.4 million in Q1) despite market headwinds is commendable. However, the pricing decline is concerning and may persist given global economic uncertainties.

The diversified pricing mechanisms (49% export-other, 31% Australian indexed, 20% domestic) provide some risk mitigation. The company's strong liquidity position and minimal debt ($8.6 million) are significant strengths in this volatile market.

Looking ahead, Alpha's guidance suggests cautious optimism. The focus on share repurchases rather than debt reduction or increased capital expenditures indicates management's belief in the company's long-term value proposition despite near-term challenges.

  • Reports second quarter net income of $58.9 million, or $4.49 per diluted share
  • Generates Adjusted EBITDA of $116.0 million for the quarter
  • Increases quarter-over-quarter total liquidity by nearly 25% or $68.6 million

"As we discussed in our first quarter reporting disclosures, weakening steel demand has negatively impacted metallurgical coal markets," said Andy Eidson, Alpha's chief executive officer. "Waning demand, coupled with significant geopolitical uncertainty across the world, brought about the expected market challenges we faced in Q2 that have intensified in Q3. Despite these external circumstances, the Alpha team performed well within the areas we can control, hitting ambitious shipping milestones, producing well, and most of all, operating safely throughout the quarter."

Financial Performance

Alpha reported net income of $58.9 million, or $4.49 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2024, as compared to net income of $127.0 million, or $9.59 per diluted share, in the first quarter.

Total Adjusted EBITDA was $116.0 million for the second quarter, compared to $189.6 million in the first quarter.

__________________________________

1. Represents Non-GAAP cost of coal sales and Non-GAAP cost of coal sales per ton which is defined and reconciled under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Results of Operations."

 

Alpha's Met segment cost of coal sales decreased to an average of $109.31 per ton in the second quarter, compared to $115.65 per ton in the first quarter. The primary drivers of the cost reduction were lower sales-related costs, as a result of softening coal prices, and a reduction in third-party purchased coal costs in the quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities in the second quarter decreased to $138.1 million as compared to $196.1 million in the first quarter. Capital expenditures for the second quarter were $61.1 million compared to $63.6 million for the first quarter.

As of June 30, 2024, the company had total liquidity of $356.7 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $336.1 million and $95.6 million of unused availability under the ABL, partially offset by a minimum required liquidity of $75.0 million as required by the ABL. Total liquidity increased by $68.6 million relative to the first quarter. As of June 30, 2024, the company had no borrowings and $59.4 million in letters of credit outstanding under the ABL. Total long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt as of June 30, 2024, was $8.6 million.

Share Repurchase Program

As previously announced, Alpha's board of directors authorized a share repurchase program allowing for the expenditure of up to $1.5 billion for the repurchase of the company's common stock. As of July 31, 2024, the company has acquired approximately 6.6 million shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $1.1 billion, or approximately $165.74 per share. The number of common stock shares outstanding as of July 31, 2024 was 13,016,010. The outstanding share count does not include the potentially dilutive effect of unvested equity awards.

The timing and amount of share repurchases will continue to be determined by the company's management based on its evaluation of market conditions, the trading price of the stock, applicable legal requirements, compliance with the provisions of the company's debt agreements, and other factors.

2024 Performance Update

As of July 24, 2024, at the midpoint of guidance, Alpha has committed and priced approximately 71% of its metallurgical coal for 2024 at an average price of $157.97 per ton and 100% of thermal coal for the year at an average expected price of $75.96 per ton.

Notes:

1.

Based on committed and priced coal shipments as of July 24, 2024. Committed percentage based on the midpoint of shipment guidance range.

2.

Actual average per-ton realizations on committed and priced tons recognized in future periods may vary based on actual freight expense in future periods relative to assumed freight expense embedded in projected average per-ton realizations.

3.

Includes estimates of future coal shipments based upon contract terms and anticipated delivery schedules. Actual coal shipments may vary from these estimates.

4.

Note: The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of its forward-looking non-GAAP cost of coal sales per ton sold financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying with reasonable accuracy significant items required for the reconciliation. The most directly comparable GAAP measure, GAAP cost of sales, is not accessible without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis. The reconciling items include freight and handling costs, which are a component of GAAP cost of sales. Management is unable to predict without unreasonable efforts freight and handling costs due to uncertainty as to the end market and FOB point for uncommitted sales volumes and the final shipping point for export shipments. These amounts have varied historically and may continue to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and material changes to these items could have a significant effect on our future GAAP results.

5.

Excludes expenses related to non-cash stock compensation and non-recurring expenses.

6.

Includes contributions to fund normal operations at our DTA export facility and expected capital investments related to the facility upgrades.

FINANCIAL TABLES FOLLOW

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The discussion below contains "non-GAAP financial measures." These are financial measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP" or "GAAP"). Specifically, we make use of the non-GAAP financial measures "Adjusted EBITDA," "non-GAAP coal revenues," "non-GAAP cost of coal sales," and "non-GAAP coal margin." We use Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of our segments and allocate resources to the segments. Adjusted EBITDA does not purport to be an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or any other measure of operating results, financial performance, or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, this measure is not calculated identically by all companies and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it is a useful indicator of the financial performance of our coal operations. We use non-GAAP coal revenues to present coal revenues generated, excluding freight and handling fulfillment revenues. Non-GAAP coal sales realization per ton for our operations is calculated as non-GAAP coal revenues divided by tons sold. We use non-GAAP cost of coal sales to adjust cost of coal sales to remove freight and handling costs, depreciation, depletion and amortization - production (excluding the depreciation, depletion and amortization related to selling, general and administrative functions), accretion on asset retirement obligations, amortization of acquired intangibles, net, and idled and closed mine costs. Non-GAAP cost of coal sales per ton for our operations is calculated as non-GAAP cost of coal sales divided by tons sold. Non-GAAP coal margin per ton for our coal operations is calculated as non-GAAP coal sales realization per ton for our coal operations less non-GAAP cost of coal sales per ton for our coal operations. The presentation of these measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Management uses non-GAAP financial measures to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. The definition of these non-GAAP measures may be changed periodically by management to adjust for significant items important to an understanding of operating trends and to adjust for items that may not reflect the trend of future results by excluding transactions that are not indicative of our core operating performance. Furthermore, analogous measures are used by industry analysts to evaluate the Company's operating performance. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate, capital investments and other factors.

Included below are reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures. For comparability purposes, certain immaterial segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 have been recast to conform to the current year presentation.
