Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call conveyed a broadly positive operational and financial trajectory: materially higher adjusted EBITDA and net income, record production at Hamilton, strong royalty growth, improved leverage and liquidity, and robust contracting for 2026 (93% committed). Offsetting items include a year-over-year revenue decline, lower realized coal prices, regional operational disruptions in Appalachia (notably at Metiqui and Tunnel Ridge), a digital asset fair value loss, and near-term cost/headwind expectations for Q1 2026 and higher planned capex. Management’s guidance and high contracted volumes, together with a strong balance sheet, suggest the positive items meaningfully outweigh the challenges, though specific Appalachia risks and the Metiqui customer loss are material near-term concerns.Company Guidance
Strong Adjusted EBITDA and Net Income Growth
Adjusted EBITDA of $191.1 million in the quarter, up 54.1% year-over-year and up 2.8% sequentially. Net income attributable to ARLP was $82.7 million, or $0.64 per unit, versus $16.3 million, or $0.12 per unit, in the prior-year quarter.
Record Production at Hamilton Mining Complex
Hamilton achieved record production volumes and record full-year clean tons in 2025, driving improved recoveries and lower segment expense per ton in the Illinois Basin (segment adjusted EBITDA expense per ton decreased 14.4% year-over-year and 3.8% sequentially).
Royalty Segment Outperformance
Total royalty revenue of $56.8 million, up 17.2% year-over-year. Oil & gas royalty BOE volumes rose 20.2% year-over-year and 10% sequentially, producing $30 million of segment adjusted EBITDA. Coal royalty segment adjusted EBITDA increased to $14.6 million from $10.5 million year-over-year.
Improved Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Net leverage ratios improved to 0.66x and 0.56x debt to trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA. Total liquidity $518.5 million, including $71.2 million cash and 592 bitcoins valued at $51.8 million.
Strong Cash Generation and Distribution Coverage
Quarterly free cash flow of $93.8 million after $44.8 million of capex. Distributable cash flow of $100.1 million, with distribution coverage of 1.29x and payout equal to 77.7% of DCF at the $0.60 per unit quarterly distribution.
High Contracted 2026 Volumes and Guidance Upside

2026 Cost and Pricing Outlook
Company expects 2026 realized coal pricing ~3%–6% below Q4 2025 levels, with anticipated Illinois Basin pricing of $50–$52/ton (vs $52.09 in 2025) and Appalachia $66–$71/ton (vs $81.99 in 2025). Full-year segment EBITDA expense per ton guidance: Illinois Basin $33–$35/ton (vs $34.71 in 2025), Appalachia $49–$53/ton (vs $63.82 in 2025).
