LEXINGTON, Ky., Nov. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
In the third quarter of 2022, highlights include:
- Net income of
$26.9 million (diluted EPS of$0.60 ) and Adjusted EBITDA of$50.7 million were282% and185% respectively above the prior highest third quarter on record. Net income was negatively affected by$3.9 million (diluted EPS of$0.09 ) from idle costs at our Berwind mine related to the July ignition event. Adjusted EBITDA was similarly negatively affected by$5.0 million . Based on continuing logistical and related issues we built 56,000 tons of inventory, bringing the year-to-date inventory build to 235,000 tons. - The Company is now fully sold out for 2022 at an average price of
$210 per short ton FOB mine1. In addition, 1.8 million tons have now been committed for delivery in 2023. 1.4 million tons are sold at an average fixed price of$201 per short ton FOB mine, and 0.4 million tons are index-linked. Over half of our anticipated 2023 volume remains open to be sold into export thermal, metallurgical or industrial markets, where pricing remains above our 2023 fixed price levels for high-vol A quality coal. We expect over60% of our 2023 production will be sold into export markets. - Work is nearing completion of the refurbishment and upgrade of the Berwind Preparation Plant. While not in full commercial operation, the first tons of coal have been processed and we anticipate shipping our first clean coal from this complex in the coming days. We anticipate this new efficient processing plant will materially lower our cash costs from the Berwind Complex due to the avoidance of millions of dollars of annual trucking costs. Similarly, these upgrades are expected to reduce our logistical challenges at both our Berwind and Knox Creek operations by eliminating the truck haul of more than 25 miles from the Berwind mines to our Knox Creek preparation plant.
- The Company is now providing an initial framework for its proposed 2023 shareholder return program. Management intends to address this with its Board of Directors at its upcoming Board meeting in December. Specifically, it remains our intention in 2023 to progressively annually increase the base cash dividend on all classes of shares. Once the Company is in a cash position in excess of roughly
$100 million above requirements for normal operations, debt repayments and capital expenditures, the Company anticipates instituting a program of share repurchase. The program will be ratably tied to the cumulative dividends paid on all then outstanding classes of shares and is anticipated to commence in 2023.

This limited drop was despite the Berwind mine being closed for almost the entire third quarter due to the early July ignition event. Total sales volume of 608,000 tons was up modestly from the second quarter 2022 level of 584,000 tons.
Cash margins on Company produced coal were

Outlook and Comment
Randall Atkins, Ramaco Resources' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented, "Despite macro headwinds in the overall economic climate, the third quarter was another record quarter for us. With that said, results are below what we would have hoped given the combination of the unfortunate Berwind ignition event in early July, declines in seaborne coal pricing, continued macro pressure on worldwide steel demand and ongoing logistical rail challenges. Despite these issues, we are well positioned for a record fourth quarter in 2022 and are also poised for 2023 to be a transformational positive year for Ramaco.
There are a number of positive quarterly accomplishments to highlight. First, we recently processed our first tons of coal at our Berwind preparation plant. We anticipate the plant will materially lower our cash costs from the Berwind Complex by avoiding millions of dollars of annual trucking costs. It will similarly reduce logistical challenges by elimination of a 25-mile truck haul to our Knox Creek preparation plant. Indeed, our overall mine costs across all operations came down around
Second, the Company is now fully sold out for calendar 2022 at an average price of
Looking ahead to 2023, despite substantial macro uncertainty, we are confident that the year will prove to be much stronger for us than 2022. To begin with, we anticipate almost doubling 2023 production to roughly 4 million tons compared to production levels last year in 2021. At the same time, 1.8 million tons of that production has now been sold for 2023. 1.4 million tons were sold at a fixed average price of
We previously communicated that we would tailor our 2023 sales strategy to place tons into whatever markets would yield the best netback pricing. Indeed, we have executed on that strategy by committing a lower than usual amount of coal to traditional domestic steel mills in 2023. We expect to place over
The on-going events in Ukraine have created an unusual market dynamic where historical pricing between world thermal and met coal inverted this summer. While this relationship has recently moderated, we still anticipate an upward move in European thermal coal pricing in early 2023. We further expect that Europe's energy crisis will be a multi-year problem, which may present continued opportunities for crossover sales to traditional European thermal customers. Near-term, we believe many countries in Europe remain meaningfully short of coal for 2023, despite having purchased sufficient supply through year-end 2022.
In addition, the Company is providing an initial framework for its planned 2023 approach to a shareholder return program. We will be discussing this with our Board of Directors at our Board meeting next month when we typically address dividend policy for the coming year. First, in-line with what we have previously told our investors, it remains our intention to progressively increase the annual base cash dividend on all classes of stock each year, including in 2023.
As we add additional shareholder return in the form of dividends, we also want to construct a straightforward policy as it relates to other forms of shareholder return, specifically share repurchases. Next year, we expect to return to a net cash position. Over the past twelve months we made three accretive reserve, royalty and infrastructure acquisitions. At this point, we do not anticipate the need to make further acquisitions to reach our optimal level of production over the next few years.
We anticipate generating sufficient cash flow later in 2023 that we will be able to meet all capital requirements for normal maintenance and planned production growth, as well as make a complete repayment of all outstanding debt. We then hope to generate and maintain a cash cushion of roughly
Clearly, at today's stock price, we regard buybacks of our stock as an attractive investment proposition, especially considering the muted earnings multiples across the entire public coal space. Our basic investment goal is to organically increase our production in a lower capex cost manner to meet what we feel will be a continuing future demand for high quality met coal against a constrained growth in supply and to increase our overall free cash flow generation capability. At the same time, we will provide continued shareholder returns as described above.
In closing, we remain on track to have our most profitable and record year in 2022. This is despite a lingering list of macro challenges this year such as labor tightness, inflationary mine and wage cost pressure, logistical constraints, and the Berwind ignition event. We expect 2023 to be even more profitable. As a result, in the coming year we hope to continue our dual objectives of meaningful production growth and combine that with a return of increasing amounts of cash to our shareholders."

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus net interest expense, equity-based compensation, depreciation and amortization expenses, certain non-operating expenses, and any transaction related costs. Its most comparable GAAP measure is net income. A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA is included below. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to serve as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies.

Non-GAAP revenue and cash cost per ton
Non-GAAP revenue per ton (FOB mine) is calculated as coal sales revenue less transportation costs, divided by tons sold. Non-GAAP cash cost per ton sold is calculated as cash cost of coal sales less transportation costs and idle mine costs, divided by tons sold. We believe revenue per ton (FOB mine) and cash cost per ton provides useful information to investors as these enable investors to compare revenue per ton and cash cost per ton for the Company against similar measures made by other publicly-traded coal companies and more effectively monitor changes in coal prices and costs from period to period excluding the impact of transportation costs, which are beyond our control. The adjustments made to arrive at these measures are significant in understanding and assessing the Company's financial performance. Revenue per ton sold (FOB mine) and cash cost per ton are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and therefore should not be considered as an alternative to revenue and cost of sales under GAAP. The tables below show how we calculate non-GAAP revenue and cash cost per ton:

We do not provide reconciliations of our outlook for cash cost per ton to cost of sales in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided for under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. We are unable, without unreasonable efforts, to forecast certain items required to develop the meaningful comparable GAAP cost of sales. These items typically include non-cash asset retirement obligation accretion expenses, mine idling expenses and other non-recurring indirect mining expenses that are difficult to predict in advance in order to include a GAAP estimate.
