ST. LOUIS, Oct. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Peabody (NYSE: BTU) today announced its third quarter 2021 operating results, including revenues of $679.0 million, net of $238 million of unrealized mark-to-market losses related to forward pricing hedges; net loss attributable to common stockholders of $44.2 million; diluted loss per share from continuing operations of $0.60; and Adjusted EBITDA[1] of $289.1 million.  During the quarter, the company retired an additional $93 million of senior secured debt and retired an additional $30 million after September 30, 2021, resulting in approximately $250 million of debt retirements year to date, more than 16% of debt outstanding at the start of the year.

"We are capturing opportunities provided by current robust coal market dynamics with strong operational performance which is resulting in expanded margins across our portfolio.  And we have reached labor agreements at both our Metropolitan and Shoal Creek mines which paves the way for higher met coal production next year," said Peabody President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Grech.  "While we are optimistic regarding the markets, we continue to focus on the long term with a disciplined approach to cost control, pricing strategies and additional reduction of debt to position the company to be resilient in all market cycles."

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Revenues totaled $679.0 million, net of $238 million of unrealized mark-to-market losses related to forward pricing hedges, compared to $671.0 million in the prior year primarily due to the impact of higher seaborne met volumes and improved seaborne thermal and met pricing.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 22 percent from the prior year to $21.1 million as a result of the company's ongoing cost reduction efforts. 

Interest expense of $45.5 million increased $10.6 million over the prior year due to higher borrowing costs and amortization of debt issuance costs.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders was impacted by unrealized losses of $238.4 million, primarily related to hedges contracted in the first half of 2021 on 2.1 million metric tons of expected production at the company's Wambo Underground mine with settlements of 1.4 million metric tons in 2022 and 0.7 million metric tons in 2023.  The hedge contracts support the profitability of the mine by securing average prices of $84 per metric ton through mid-2023 as part of a strategy to extend the expected life of the mine.  In addition, the company recorded a $25 million non-cash gain on sale of previously discontinued operations. 

Adjusted EBITDA totaled $289.1 million compared to $95.4 million in the prior year primarily due to higher seaborne margins and a $26 million largely non-cash gain on the sale of the company's Millennium mine.

_____________________________________________________
¹Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.  Revenues per ton, costs per ton, Adjusted EBITDA margin per ton and percent are non-GAAP operating/statistical measures.  Adjusted EBITDA margin is equal to segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by segment revenues.  Please refer to the tables and related notes in this press release for a reconciliation and definition of non-GAAP financial measures.

Segment Performance

During the third quarter, the seaborne thermal segment shipped 4.5 million tons including 2.6 million export tons at an average realized price of $86 per ton and 1.9 million tons sold under domestic contracts.  Third quarter seaborne thermal segment costs of $35.09 per ton increased 27 percent compared to the prior year, primarily due to ongoing transition to the Wambo JV and Wilpinjong extension project, higher royalties, unfavorable exchange rates and higher fuel prices.  The segment's  Adjusted EBITDA margins nearly doubled to 40 percent from 22 percent in the prior year and reported Adjusted EBITDA of $104.4 million. 

In the third quarter, Wilpinjong shipped 3.5 million tons at an average realized price of $42 per ton, which included 1.6 million tons of export sales at an average realized price of $65 per ton and 1.9 million tons of domestic sales at an average price of $22 per ton.  Average Wilpinjong costs of $25.62 per ton were 31 percent higher than the prior year due to higher equipment maintenance, fuel and royalty costs, unfavorable exchange rates and completion of Wilpinjong extension boxcut development.  Wilpinjong contributed approximately $56.5 million of Adjusted EBITDA, completed $5 million of capital expenditures and had $145.5 million of cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2021. 

The seaborne met segment shipped 1.5 million tons at an average realized price of $120 per ton in the third quarter.  Total segment costs of $81.61 per ton decreased 16 percent compared to the prior year primarily due to elevated costs at Shoal Creek in 2020 prior to idling the mine and higher production at Metropolitan and the CMJV, partially offset by higher royalties, unfavorable exchange rates and higher fuel prices.  Seaborne met costs excluding Shoal Creek idle costs were approximately $75 per ton.  The segment reported 32% Adjusted EBITDA margins and Adjusted EBITDA of $57.4 million. 

The PRB segment shipped 22.7 million tons at an average realized price of $10.88 per ton.  PRB costs per ton increased by 17 percent to $9.25 per ton primarily due to higher equipment maintenance and fuel cost in addition to increased overburden removal.  The segment reported 15 percent Adjusted EBITDA margins and Adjusted EBITDA of $37.0 million.

The other U.S. thermal segment shipped 4.5 million tons at an average realized price of $41 per ton.  Cost per ton increased 17 percent from the prior year to $30.99 due to higher equipment maintenance costs and higher fuel prices.  The segment reported 24 percent Adjusted EBITDA margins and Adjusted EBITDA of $45.1 million.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Peabody ended the quarter with $587.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, a $38.7 million increase over the prior quarter.  In the third quarter, $193 million of cash margin was posted primarily related to seaborne thermal price hedges on Wambo production that will settle in 2022 and 2023.

During the quarter, the company completed multiple debt-for-equity exchanges and issued 2.2 million shares of common stock in exchange for $30 million of Senior Secured Notes.  The company also retired $63 million of senior secured debt through open market repurchases.  As a result, Peabody retired $93 million of senior secured debt and recorded a net gain on debt extinguishment of $16.0 million in the third quarter.  In addition, the company retired an additional $30 million of senior secured debt after September 30, 2021.  To date, the company has retired approximately $250 million of senior secured debt in 2021.

During the third quarter, the company also sold 9.0 million shares of common stock under its previously announced "at-the-market" equity offering program (ATM), raising net cash proceeds of $112.1 million.  Subsequent to September 30, 2021, the company settled sales of an additional 2.8 million shares raising net cash proceeds of $39.2 million, resulting in 5 million shares remaining available under the ATM program.    

Outlook   

Peabody notes the following for the remainder of 2021:

US Thermal Operations

• Coal deliveries will remain largely dependent on general economic conditions, weather, natural gas prices, utility inventory levels, availability of labor and rail performance.
• 2021 projected volumes are fully priced and committed.

Seaborne Thermal Operations

• Higher export thermal volumes expected in the fourth quarter compared to previous quarters.
• Wilpinjong fourth quarter volumes are anticipated to include ~2 million tons of export shipments and ~2 million tons of domestic shipments.

Seaborne Met Operations

• The CMJV and Metropolitan are expected to continue recognizing cost and productivity improvements.
• Shoal Creek is anticipated to begin production in the second half of the fourth quarter, with ramp up through the first quarter of 2022.
