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.

Revenues per Ton,
Costs per Ton and Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton are metrics used
by management to measure each of our mining segment's operating
performance. Revenues per Ton and Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton
are equal to revenues by segment and Adjusted EBITDA by segment,
respectively, divided by segment tons sold. Costs per Ton is equal
to Revenues 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
to be operating/statistical measures; however, we include
reconciliations of the related non-GAAP financial measures
(Adjusted EBITDA and Total Reporting Segment Costs) in the
"Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section in this
document.

by management as the primary metric to measure each of our
segment's operating performance.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within
the meaning of the securities laws. Forward-looking statements can
be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to
historical or current facts. They often include words or variation
of words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans,"
"believes," "seeks," "estimates," "projects," "forecasts,"
"targets," "would," "will," "should," "goal," "could" or "may" or
other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements provide
management's current expectations or predictions of future
conditions, events or results. All statements that address
operating performance, events, or developments that Peabody expects
will occur in the future are forward-looking statements. They may
include estimates of sales and other operating performance targets,
cost savings, capital expenditures, other expense items, actions
relating to strategic initiatives, demand for the company's
products, liquidity, capital structure, market share, industry
volume, other financial items, descriptions of management's plans
or objectives for future operations and descriptions of assumptions
underlying any of the above. All forward-looking statements speak
only as of the date they are made and reflect Peabody's good faith
beliefs, assumptions and expectations, but they are not guarantees
of future performance or events. Furthermore, Peabody disclaims any
obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statement, except as required by law. By their nature,
forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
suggested by the forward-looking statements. Factors that might
cause such differences include, but are not limited to, a variety
of economic, competitive and regulatory factors, many of which are
beyond Peabody's control, including the ongoing impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic and factors that are described in Peabody's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2020, and other factors that Peabody may
describe from time to time in other filings with the SEC. You may
get such filings for free at Peabody's website at
www.peabodyenergy.com. You should understand that it is not
possible to predict or identify all such factors and, consequently,
you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all
potential risks or uncertainties.
