ST. LOUIS, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Peabody (NYSE: BTU) today reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $409.5 million, or $2.54 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2022, compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $28.6 million, or $0.28 per diluted share in the prior year quarter.  Peabody's second quarter 2022 results included a $24.5 million charge for unrealized mark-to-market losses related to its coal hedging activities and a $2.3 million net loss on early debt extinguishment.  Peabody had Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $577.8 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $122.1 million in the second quarter of 2021 and generated operating cash flow of $283.1 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to a cash use of $93.8 million in the second quarter of 2021.  Revenue increased by over 80 percent to $1,322 million compared to the prior year quarter, due to higher realized prices in every segment.

"This quarter we delivered Free Cash Flow¹ of over $340 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $578 million despite significant weather and logistics challenges.  For the first time as a public company, cash exceeds our debt balance," said Peabody President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Grech.  "While we expect a strong second half, severe July rains in Australia will impact third quarter production, sales, and costs, and we have revised full year expectations to reflect these continuing challenges."

Second Quarter Highlights

• Adjusted EBITDA of $578 million, the highest quarterly result in more than a decade, as a result of record seaborne pricing
• $342 million of Free Cash Flow and a cash and cash equivalents balance that exceeds our total long-term debt by $74 million
• Shipped first metallurgical coal from Moorvale South, completing project which upgrades and diversifies product quality at the CMJV
• Shoal Creek completed set-up and commenced production on the J2 longwall panel
• Strengthened the balance sheet with $51 million of additional senior secured debt reductions and a further $116 million that settled subsequent to June 30, 2022
• Continued to assess development of 70 million tons of the southern reserves at North Goonyella
• Advanced R3 Renewables efforts with potential customers, finalized management team and commenced site evaluations with project developer Treaty Oak LLC
• Increased 2023 PRB priced sales to 68 million tons

¹ Adjusted EBITDA and 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 mining segment level. We consider all measures reported on a per ton basis, as well as Adjusted EBITDA margin, to be operating/statistical measures. Please refer to the tables and related notes in this press release for a reconciliation and definition of non-GAAP financial measures.

During the second quarter, the seaborne thermal segment shipped 4.0 million tons and increased export tons 22% to 2.2 million tons compared to the first quarter.  The average export realized price increased 21% to $143.43 per ton, despite 264 thousand metric tons sold at $84.00 under the hedge program that extended the life of the Wambo underground mine.  Second quarter seaborne thermal segment costs of $43.85 per ton were higher primarily due to higher sales price sensitive costs and fuel prices.  Substantial rain and COVID impacts during the quarter reduced overburden removal productivity by 18% which will impact second half volume.  The segment reported Adjusted EBITDA margins of 50 percent and Adjusted EBITDA of $176.8 million, in the second quarter.

Wilpinjong shipped 3.3 million tons at an average realized price of $85 per ton, which included 1.5 million tons of export sales at an average realized price of $167 per ton and 1.8 million domestic tons.  Average Wilpinjong costs of $33.50 per ton were 19 percent higher than the prior quarter due to higher sales price sensitive costs and fuel prices.  In the second quarter, Wilpinjong contributed $169.8 million to Adjusted EBITDA and had $202 million of cash at June 30, 2022.

The PRB segment shipped 18.5 million tons at an average realized price of $12.44 per ton in the second quarter.  Tons sold for the quarter were impacted by further degradation of PRB rail performance resulting in four million less tons shipped than nominated by customers.  PRB costs per ton increased by 6 percent over the prior quarter to $12.55 per ton primarily due to lower production volume and higher fuel costs. For the second quarter, the segment reported an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.0 million, as overburden removal costs remain elevated compared to sales volume.

During the second quarter, the other U.S. thermal segment shipped 4.4 million tons at an average realized price of $51.40 per ton, a 6 percent increase in realized prices compared to the first quarter.  Costs per ton increased 2 percent due to higher repair spend and fuel prices.  The segment reported 28 percent Adjusted EBITDA margins and Adjusted EBITDA of $61.9 million, in the second quarter. 

Corporate and Other

In the second quarter, the company recognized income from equity affiliates of $48.7 million ($93.4 million year to date) primarily related to its fifty percent interest in Middlemount and related 0.3 million attributable tons of metallurgical coal (0.8 million tons year to date).  Production in the second quarter was negatively impacted by severe rains and COVID related absenteeism which is expected to impact third quarter production.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Peabody ended the quarter with $1,120.7 million of cash and cash equivalents which now exceeds total debt of $1,046.9 million.  In the second quarter, the company generated $283.1 million of operating cash flow and generated $59.3 million of investing cash flow (including $96.2 million of cash receipts from Middlemount), resulting in Free Cash Flow of $342.4 million.  Cash margin posted associated with the company's coal hedging activities increased by $62.5 million in the second quarter due to higher prices for premium Australian thermal coal, resulting in approximately $544.2 million posted at June 30, 2022.

The company continued to reduce debt levels, retiring approximately $51 million of senior secured debt during the quarter and an additional $116 million that settled subsequent to June 30, 2022.  The company posted an additional $6.25 million of cash collateral in support of future reclamation obligations, bringing year-to-date cash deposits to $12.5 million.  Based on second quarter Free Cash Flow results, an additional $32 million of cash will be posted in the third quarter in accordance with the Company's agreement with its reclamation bonding providers.

2022 Outlook   

Seaborne Thermal

• Full year volume has been lowered by 1.0-1.3 million tons due to the impacts on productivity from rain and COVID absenteeism delaying re-establishment of mine sequencing.
• Third quarter export volume is expected to be 1.8 million tons, with 1.1 million tons priced at $147 per ton (includes 264 thousand metric tons hedged at $84), and approximately 0.5 million tons from Wilpinjong and 0.2 million tons from Wambo remain unpriced.
• Full year cost guidance has been increased $8 per ton to reflect higher sales price sensitive costs, higher fuel costs and continuation of rain impacts on production.

Seaborne Metallurgical

• Full year volume is expected to be toward the high end of previous guidance, with the low end of the guidance raised 0.3 million tons. Higher second half production at Metropolitan, after completing a longwall move in the first half, and the production ramp-up at Moorvale South is expected to more than offset lower Shoal Creek production (now expected to be 1.2 million tons).
• Third quarter export volume is expected to be 1.9 million tons and the current product mix is expected to achieve 75-80% of the premium hard coking coal index price.
• Full year cost guidance has been increased $15 per ton to primarily reflect higher royalty costs from the recently announced additional price sensitive Queensland royalty rates and higher fuel cost.

U.S. Thermal

• PRB volume has been lowered 5-8 million tons due to increasingly weak rail performance and uncertainty of improvement to meet current year customer nominations. Other U.S. Thermal volume has been increased 0.5 million tons due to higher customer demand.
• Full year PRB cost guidance has been increased $1.25-$1.50 per ton to reflect continuing high fuel price, general inflationary pressures, and the anticipated lower volume.
• Full year Other U.S. Thermal cost guidance has been increased $4 per ton to reflect continuing high fuel price and general inflationary pressures.
• All volume for the U.S. thermal segments are priced and committed, sales volume is dependent on rail availability.
