Insights

The Q3 2024 results reveal significant headwinds for Alpha Metallurgical Resources, with net income dropping sharply to $3.8 million ($0.29 per share) from $58.9 million in Q2. The 42% increase in liquidity to $507.0 million is a positive sign for financial stability, but operational metrics show concerning trends.

Key concerns include declining coal sales realization at $132.76 per ton (down from $141.86) and rising production costs to $114.27 per ton. The 2025 domestic sales commitments of 3.7 million tons at $152.51 per ton provide some revenue visibility but represent only 24% of expected volume, leaving significant exposure to market volatility.

The company's strong balance sheet with minimal debt ($6.7 million) and substantial cash position offers protection during this downcycle, while the ongoing share repurchase program ($1.1 billion used of $1.5 billion authorized) demonstrates confidence in long-term value.

Global steel market conditions are creating significant pressure on metallurgical coal demand and pricing. The combination of manufacturing slowdown, economic headwinds and geopolitical uncertainties suggests this weakness could persist into 2025.

The reduced production volume of 4.1 million tons (down from 4.6 million) and lower pricing reflect these market challenges. The company's export exposure (77% of Q3 sales) makes it particularly vulnerable to global market conditions. The 2025 guidance of 15.0-16.0 million metallurgical tons indicates management's cautious outlook, while the projected cost improvements suggest operational optimization efforts.

  • Posts third quarter net income of $3.8 million, or $0.29 per diluted share
  • Reports Adjusted EBITDA of $49.0 million for the quarter
  • Increases quarter-over-quarter total liquidity by 42% or $150.3 million
  • Announces sales commitments to domestic customers for shipment in 2025 
  • Introduces guidance for full year 2025

These are non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA is included in tables accompanying the financial schedules.

"Our third quarter results reflect the softness of metallurgical coal markets, which is driven by weak global steel demand," said Andy Eidson, Alpha's chief executive officer. "A slowdown in manufacturing activity, increased economic headwinds, and geopolitical uncertainties across the world have exerted downward pressure on steel demand, which impacts met coal demand and pricing. Despite these external factors, we continue to focus internally on safely running our operations and working to protect our business with a strong balance sheet. This means we have been taking a close look at our costs across the board and making some changes to help the organization withstand this period of lower revenue generation."

Eidson continued: "Looking ahead to 2025, we are issuing guidance for next year and announcing our domestic sales commitments, which include 3.7 million tons contracted at an average price of $152.51 per ton. We are pleased with our committed tonnage for 2025, especially in light of the challenging market dynamics that served as a backdrop to this negotiation season, and we will seek opportunities to capture potential upside in the export market if the metallurgical markets rebound and begin to move higher."

Financial Performance

Alpha reported net income of $3.8 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2024, as compared to net income of $58.9 million, or $4.49 per diluted share, in the second quarter.

Total Adjusted EBITDA was $49.0 million for the third quarter, compared to $116.0 million in the second quarter.

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 increased to an average of $114.27 per ton in the third quarter, compared to $109.31 per ton in the second quarter. The increase in costs for the third quarter is primarily related to reduced productivity quarter-over-quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities in the third quarter increased to $189.5 million as compared to $138.1 million in the second quarter. The third quarter cash flows were positively impacted by a decrease in working capital of $144.5 million. The primary drivers of the working capital release were a reduction to accounts receivable and inventory. Capital expenditures for the third quarter were $31.5 million compared to $61.1 million for the second quarter.

As of September 30, 2024, the company had total liquidity of $507.0 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $484.6 million and $97.5 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 $150.3 million relative to the second quarter. As of September 30, 2024, the company had no borrowings and $57.5 million in letters of credit outstanding under the ABL. Total long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt as of September 30, 2024, was $6.7 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 October 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 October 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.

2025 Domestics Sales Commitments

Alpha has committed approximately 3.7 million tons of metallurgical coal to domestic customers for shipment in the 2025 calendar year at an average price of $152.51 per ton.

Issuance of 2025 Operational Guidance

The company is issuing operational guidance for the 2025 calendar year. For sales volumes, Alpha expects to ship between 15.0 million and 16.0 million metallurgical tons in 2025 as well as another 1.0 million to 1.4 million tons of incidental thermal coal, bringing total 2025 shipment expectations to a range of 16.0 million to 17.4 million tons for the year.

Alpha expects its 2025 cost of coal sales to be between $103.00 and $108.00 per ton.

The guidance range for selling, general and administrative (SG&A) costs is $53 million to $59 million in 2025, excluding non-recurring expenses and non-cash stock compensation. Idle operations expense is expected to be between $18 million and $28 million. The company anticipates 2025 net cash interest income of $2 million to $10 million, and depreciation, depletion and amortization of $165 million to $185 million.

The company expects capital expenditures in the range of $152 million to $182 million, which includes sustaining maintenance capital as well as development capital to continue progress on its Kingston Wildcat (formerly named Kingston Sewell) mine.

2025 contributions to equity affiliates are expected in the range of $44 million to $54 million, which include planned capital investments in Dominion Terminal Associates. The guidance range for cash contributions includes both cash contributions for normal operations of the facility as well as Alpha's 2025 share of the investments in DTA's facility upgrade program.

The company expects a tax rate of between 0% and 5% for calendar year 2025.

2024 Performance Update

As of October 23, 2024, for the 2024 calendar year, Alpha has committed and priced approximately 86% of its metallurgical coal for 2024 at an average price of $152.42 per ton and 100% of thermal coal for the year at an average expected price of $75.97 per ton.

Notes:   

1.

Based on committed and priced coal shipments as of October 23, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 have been recast to conform to the current year presentation.
