Insights

NACCO Industries has delivered extraordinary financial improvement in 2024, with a complete turnaround from substantial losses in 2023 to solid profitability. The 116% increase in full-year Adjusted EBITDA to $59.4 million demonstrates significant operational improvement, particularly in the critical Coal Mining segment.

The company's return to profitability is underscored by full-year net income of $33.7 million ($4.55 per share) compared to a $39.6 million loss in 2023. This 73.3% swing in bottom-line results reflects both operational improvements and the absence of the prior year's non-cash impairment charges.

NACCO maintains a solid balance sheet with $72.8 million in cash against $99.5 million in debt, plus $99.1 million in available credit facility capacity. This financial flexibility supports both the $58 million capital expenditure plan for 2025 and continued shareholder returns through dividends and share repurchases.

The company's segment performance shows broad-based improvement, particularly in Coal Mining where performance benefited from higher pricing and increased deliveries. North American Mining's transformation to profitability is also noteworthy, with its 39% revenue growth (net of reimbursed costs).

While management projects only modest operating profit growth for 2025, the planned pension plan termination will create a one-time accounting charge that will impact reported net income. Investors should focus on the underlying operational improvements and management's expectation for significant annual cash flow generation beginning in 2025, which will support continued growth initiatives across the business portfolio.

NACCO's results reflect a significant strengthening in its core Coal Mining operations, which drove much of the company's financial recovery in 2024. The segment's 32.6% improvement in Q4 Adjusted EBITDA demonstrates both operational improvements and strengthening market conditions for coal suppliers.

Particularly notable are the improved earnings at unconsolidated operations like Falkirk and Coteau, where higher customer requirements led to increased coal deliveries. This suggests power generators are maintaining or increasing coal usage in their generation mix, contradicting broader assumptions about coal's decline in the electricity market.

Management's commentary about evolving policy frameworks creating a more favorable regulatory environment for fossil fuels signals potential longer-term stability for NACCO's coal operations. The expected benefit from expiring price concessions at Falkirk also indicates improving commercial terms for coal suppliers.

Beyond coal, NACCO is executing a thoughtful diversification strategy. Its Minerals Management segment is building a high-quality portfolio of oil and gas interests, including the strategic $15.7 million investment in Hugoton basin assets. The company's expansion into ecological restoration through Mitigation Resources and energy project development through ReGen Resources leverages NACCO's core expertise while reducing dependence on coal.

The company's balanced approach—maintaining coal operations while developing growth initiatives in minerals, mitigation, and renewable energy—positions it well regardless of the pace of energy transition. The projected capital allocation of $13 million to Coal Mining versus $45 million to growth businesses in 2025 demonstrates management's forward-looking priorities while still supporting its cash-generating core business.

Fourth Quarter 2024 Compared to Fourth Quarter 2023

The substantial increase in financial results was primarily due to a $65.9 million non-cash asset impairment charge in the prior year. Improvements at the Coal Mining and North American Mining segments as well as at Mitigation Resources also contributed to the increased operating profit. These improvements were partly offset by an increase in Unallocated operating expenses, principally employee-related, and an unfavorable change in other (income)/expense due to higher net interest expense and lower income from investments.

Full Year 2024 Compared to Full Year 2023

The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the 2023 impairment charge, was mainly attributable to improved results in all operating segments, particularly Coal Mining. These improvements were partly offset by an increase in Unallocated costs, as well as an unfavorable change in other income. The effective income tax rate is highly variable depending on the mix of earnings and the recognition of discrete tax items. Adjustments to the annual rate can significantly affect the quarterly rate. 

Liquidity

At December 31, 2024, the Company had consolidated cash of $72.8 million and total debt of $99.5 million, with availability of $99.1 million under its revolving credit facility.

In 2024, the Company paid $6.6 million in dividends and repurchased approximately 317,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock at prevailing market prices for an aggregate purchase price of $9.9 million. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $8.5 million remaining under its $20 million share repurchase program that expires at the end of 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the 2023 impairment charge of $60.8 million, increased 32.6%. This significant improvement was primarily due to higher earnings at the unconsolidated operations, as well as lower general and administrative expenses. Operating results at the consolidated coal mining operations were comparable to the prior year quarter.

Earnings of unconsolidated operations improved primarily as a result of an increase in pricing at Falkirk and improved earnings at Coteau. Increased customer requirements at both mines led to higher tons delivered.

(1) Segment Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP. See non-GAAP explanation and the related reconciliations to GAAP on page 9.

Revenues grew significantly in part due to an increase in reimbursed costs, which have an offsetting amount in cost of goods sold and therefore no impact on gross profit. Favorable pricing and delivery mix contributed to the 39% improvement in revenues, net of reimbursed costs.

North American Mining reported fourth-quarter operating profit compared with an operating loss in the prior year. The improvements in operating results and Segment Adjusted EBITDA were mainly due to a decrease in operating expenses, particularly outside services. The prior year operating loss and Segment Adjusted EBITDA also included a $0.5 million loss on sale of a dragline sold in connection with the extension of a customer contract.

North American Mining continues to benefit from progress on operational and strategic projects to improve profitability. While full-year operating profit was up 72% compared with 2023, North American Mining experienced lower profitability in the second half of 2024 compared with the first half due in part to an overall reduction in demand, partly attributable to the ongoing effects of three hurricanes in Florida.

Revenues and Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the 2023 impairment charge of $5.1 million, were generally comparable to the prior year. An increase in revenue from oil royalties was offset by a reduction in revenue from natural gas and coal royalties. 

Outlook

NACCO's businesses provide critical inputs for electricity generation, construction and development, and the production of industrial minerals and chemicals. Increasing demand for electricity, on-shoring and current federal policies are creating favorable macroeconomic trends within these industries. We are confident in our trajectory and business prospects as we enter 2025 and prepare for longer-term growth opportunities. Specifically in 2025, we expect to generate a modest year-over-year increase in consolidated operating profit.

In 2025, the Coal Mining segment anticipates solid customer demand, with deliveries expected to increase modestly from 2024. We anticipate that evolving policy frameworks may create a more favorable regulatory environment for the fossil fuel industry moving forward. These developments are expected to further support coal as an essential part of the energy mix in the United States for the foreseeable future.

The Coal Mining segment expects to benefit from the expiration of temporary price concessions at Falkirk. In addition, Mississippi Lignite Mining Company continues to recover from inefficiencies experienced while its customer's Red Hills Power Plant operated on one of two generation units for more than half of 2024. With the power plant now anticipated to operate at a level consistent with historical averages, coal deliveries are expected to return to more normal levels, resulting in moderate cost efficiencies. However, an anticipated reduction in the 2025 contractually determined per ton sales price compared with 2024 is expected to offset these improvements, resulting in lower results at Mississippi Lignite Mining Company. An expected increase in operating expenses will contribute to an overall anticipated modest year-over-year decrease in Coal Mining segment operating profit. 

North American Mining is expected to generate increasing levels of operating profit over time as the benefits of new and extended contracts add to the profitability of existing contracts. During 2024, North American Mining executed three new or amended existing contracts, which are expected to deliver net present value after-tax cash flows of approximately $20 million over contract terms that range from 6 to 20 years. North American Mining is expected to deliver further improved results in 2025, predominantly in the second half of the year based on expectations for comparable year-over-year customer demand. North American Mining is continuously seeking to enter into new or amended contracts to solidify its position as the foundation for NACCO's mining-related growth initiatives.

North American Mining's subsidiary, Sawtooth Mining, is the exclusive provider of comprehensive mining services at Thacker Pass, which is owned by Lithium Americas Corp. (TSX: LAC) (NYSE: LAC). Sawtooth Mining will supply all of the lithium-bearing ore requirements for Thacker Pass, which is currently under construction. We expect to continue to recognize moderate income at Sawtooth while it assists with certain construction services. Once the mine is operating, Sawtooth will be reimbursed for costs of mining, capital expenditures and mine closure and will recognize a contractually agreed upon production fee. In addition to providing comprehensive mining services, Sawtooth Mining will receive a fee to transport clay tailings once lithium production commences. Phase 1 lithium production is estimated to begin in late 2027.

The Minerals Management segment, through its Catapult Mineral Partners business, has constructed a high-quality, diversified portfolio of oil and gas mineral and royalty interests in the United States. In the fourth quarter of 2024, Minerals Management invested $15.7 million in a company that holds non-operated working interests in oil and natural gas assets in the Kansas and Oklahoma portions of the Hugoton basin. While this investment, accounted for under the equity method, is expected to be accretive to earnings, 2025 operating profit is expected to be comparable to 2024. Lower first-half earnings are expected to be offset by an improvement in the second half given expected trends in oil and natural gas prices and projected volumes.

Minerals Management continues to build its portfolio with a mix of producing wells, near-term development opportunities and undeveloped acreage. We believe our data-driven approach to acquisitions and our long-term perspective provides a competitive advantage as undeveloped assets provide additional upside potential over the life of the reserve. While we continue to budget up to $20 million annually to expand our portfolio and provide long-term stable cash flow generation, our business model allows flexibility regarding the cadence and type of investment based on available opportunities that we believe will create long-term value and generate increasing profitability.

Mitigation Resources of North America® provides stream and wetland mitigation solutions as well as comprehensive reclamation and restoration construction services. This business is an avenue for growth and diversification in an area where NACCO has built a strong reputation based on its substantial knowledge and expertise. Mitigation Resources continued to expand during 2024, and now has 11 mitigation banks and other mitigation projects located in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Texas.

Mitigation Resources also provides ecological restoration services for abandoned surface mines and plans to pursue other environmental restoration projects. It was named a designated provider of abandoned mine land restoration by the State of Texas, and in January 2025 secured a restoration project in Kentucky that is expected to be accretive to earnings beginning in 2026.

Mitigation Resources is expected to achieve full-year profitability beginning in 2025 based on current expectations for the timing of permit approvals and mitigation credit releases, as well as income generated from service-related projects. Mitigation Resources is expected to increase profitability over time, and provide a return on capital employed in the mid-teens as the business matures.

We established ReGen Resources in 2023 to address the rapidly increasing demand for additional power generation sources in the United States through development of energy and energy-related projects that utilize multiple-generation technologies, such as solar combined with gas-fired generation, primarily on reclaimed mining properties. These projects could be developed by ReGen Resources directly or through joint ventures that include partners with expertise in energy development projects. Current projects include solar arrays, solar-gas hybrid projects and carbon capture projects on reclaimed mine land in Mississippi and Texas. Additional projects in other states are in early-stage review.

We are taking actions to terminate our defined benefit pension plan in 2025, which will eliminate future volatility from changes in the pension obligation. Once complete, obligations under the terminated plan will be transferred to a third-party insurance provider. Surplus assets are expected to be utilized to fund a qualified replacement plan, reducing future cash funding requirements. Although the plan is currently over funded, a significant non-cash settlement charge is anticipated upon termination, which is expected to lead to a substantial year-over-year decrease in net income and EBITDA compared with 2024.

Consolidated capital expenditures are expected to total approximately $58 million in 2025, which includes approximately $13 million for Coal Mining, $17 million for North American Mining, $20 million for Minerals Management and $8 million predominantly for ReGen Resources and other growth businesses. We expect significant annual cash flow generation beginning in 2025, based on the current business plan.

We believe that each of our businesses have competitive advantages that provide value to customers and create long-term value for stockholders. We are pursuing growth and diversification by strategically leveraging our core natural resources management skills to build a robust portfolio of affiliated businesses. Opportunities for growth remain strong and are increasing amid recent successes and a significant positive change in the regulatory environment, particularly for fossil fuels. Acquisitions of additional mineral interests and improvements in the outlook for Coal Mining segment customers, as well as new contracts at Mitigation Resources and North American Mining should be accretive to the longer-term outlook. 

We are committed to maintaining a conservative capital structure as we continue to grow and diversify, while avoiding unnecessary risk. We believe strategic diversification will generate cash that can be re-invested to strengthen and expand the businesses or distributed to investors in the form of share repurchases or dividends. We continue to maintain the highest levels of customer service and operational excellence with an unwavering focus on safety and environmental stewardship.
