Core Natural Resources, Inc. (NYSE: CNR) is a leading producer and exporter of high-quality coals, including metallurgical and high calorific value thermal coals, formed through the merger of CONSOL Energy and Arch Resources, headquartered in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania.
Core Natural Resources has reported its fourth-quarter 2024 results with significant strategic initiatives including a new capital return framework that focuses heavily on share repurchases. The company has also received board authorization for $1 billion in share repurchases and has resumed development work at the Leer South mine.
The company’s financial performance in the fourth quarter of 2024 reflects a GAAP net income of $30.8 million and an adjusted EBITDA of $170 million. Legacy CONSOL Energy achieved coal revenue of $442.8 million during this period. The merger with Arch Resources has led to an increase in liquidity, totaling $1.1 billion, and an enhancement of its revolving credit facility to $600 million.
Core is aggressively pursuing synergies post-merger, having already realized approximately one-third of the targeted $110 million to $140 million in synergies. Despite facing soft market conditions, particularly in its metallurgical coal segment, the company remains optimistic about long-term market dynamics and demand from Southeast Asia.
Looking ahead, Core Natural Resources is confident in its ability to generate value and cash flow through its complementary segments in metallurgical and high calorific value thermal coal. With a strategic focus on efficiency and sustainability, the company is poised to capitalize on favorable long-term market conditions.
