___________________________________________

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. Please refer to the tables and related notes in this press release for a reconciliation and definition of non-GAAP financial measures.

During the first quarter, the seaborne thermal segment shipped 3.6 million tons, including 2.1 million export tons.  Export shipments were 0.2 million tons lower than the fourth quarter due to a longwall move at Wambo and continued recovery from heavy rains in the fourth quarter of 2022.  The average realized export price was nearly flat with the fourth quarter of 2022 as lower hedged ton settlement volumes offset a 33% decline in average Newcastle benchmark prices.  Total segment costs of $51.01 per ton were 18 percent higher than the fourth quarter primarily due to anticipated lower production and less favorable AUD exchange rates.  The segment reported Adjusted EBITDA margins of 47 percent and Adjusted EBITDA of $164.0 million, in the first quarter.

During the first quarter, the seaborne met segment shipped 1.3 million tons at an average realized price of $220.60 per ton.  Tons sold were 0.7 million tons lower than the prior quarter due to lower production at Shoal Creek and CMJV (rail and port congestion from heavy rains in January), partially offset by higher production at Metropolitan.  Total segment costs of $151.13 per ton were 18 percent higher than the prior quarter primarily due to anticipated lower production and less favorable AUD exchange rates.  The segment reported 31 percent Adjusted EBITDA margins and Adjusted EBITDA of $90.8 million, in the first quarter.

The PRB segment shipped 22.0 million tons at an average realized price of $13.89 per ton in the first quarter, a 14 percent increase in price over first quarter 2022.  Tons sold increased by approximately 0.8 million tons over the fourth quarter, due to higher customer nominations and improving rail performance.  PRB costs of $12.26 per ton were higher than anticipated due to the timing of equipment repair and maintenance costs.  The segment reported 12 percent Adjusted EBITDA margins and Adjusted EBITDA of $35.8 million, in the first quarter.

During the first quarter, the other U.S. thermal segment shipped 4.5 million tons at an average realized price of $54.73 per ton, a 5 percent increase compared to the prior quarter.  Costs per ton of $40.65 per ton were in-line with the prior quarter.  The segment reported 26 percent Adjusted EBITDA margins and Adjusted EBITDA of $64.2 million, in the first quarter.

Other

In the first quarter, the Company recorded favorable trading results of $34 million primarily related to the timing of favorably priced deliveries relative to prevailing market prices, $19.2 million in revenue related to the sale of excess port and rail capacity, and $1.8 million of Income from Equity Affiliates, primarily from its fifty percent interest in Middlemount. 

Shoal Creek Update

On March 29, 2023, the Shoal Creek Mine experienced a fire involving void fill material utilized to stabilize the roof structure of the mine.  All mine personnel were safely evacuated from the mine.  MSHA has allowed mine rescue- equipped personnel into the mine at various times to assess the situation and perform work in preparation for installing temporary seals.  On April 26, MSHA approved a temporary sealing program limited to the affected underground area.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Peabody ended the quarter with $892.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and $936.7 million of restricted cash and collateral, including $760 million for reclamation obligations and $177 million for port and rail commitments and other performance guarantees.  In the first quarter, the Company generated $386.3 million of cash flow from operations.  Cash margin required for the Company's coal hedging activities decreased to $59.8 million at March 31, 2023. 

In April, Peabody announced an amended agreement with the providers of its $1.3 billion surety program to establish a collateral limit through December 31, 2026 and remove all restrictions on shareholder returns, subject to certain liquidity requirements.  Additionally, Peabody terminated the bank letter of credit facility which was previously used for surety collateral.

Shareholder Return Program

Peabody previously announced a new shareholder return framework which includes a share repurchase plan, a fixed quarterly cash dividend and a variable quarterly cash dividend component.  The Board also approved a new share repurchase program authorizing repurchases of up to $1.0 billion of BTU common stock. 

Peabody plans to return to shareholders at least 65 percent of annual Available Free Cash Flow¹ (AFCF) retroactive to January 1, 2023.  AFCF is defined as quarterly operating cash flow minus investing cash flow; distributions to noncontrolling interests; plus/minus changes to restricted cash and collateral and other anticipated expenditures.

(1) This amount is equal to the total change in Restricted Cash and Collateral on the balance sheet, excluding amounts already included in cash flow from operations and the $660 million one-time funding related to the surety program amendment.

As previously announced, first quarter shareholder returns will include a $0.075 per share regular dividend ($10.9 million) and repurchases of Peabody common stock.  Peabody continues to anticipate the second quarter 2023 shareholder return will include the regular quarterly cash dividend with the remaining 65 percent of AFCF to be returned to shareholders exclusively through share repurchases.  Peabody plans to transition to a more balanced shareholder return program of fixed quarterly cash dividends, variable dividends and share repurchases in the second half of 2023.  All shareholder returns remain at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
