Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call emphasized multiple strong operational and financial positives: record safety and environmental performance, Centurion coming online ahead of schedule with attractive NPV and long life, improving metallurgical coal realizations and recovering seaborne met pricing, solid cash generation and a healthy balance sheet, and notable commercial contract wins. Headwinds are primarily near-term and operational: lower seaborne thermal volumes in 2026, cost pressure from lower volumes and currency, production interruptions from longwall moves and remaining development capital for Centurion. On balance the positives (strategic asset delivery, improving prices, strong cash flow and liquidity) materially outweigh the near-term operational and cost headwinds.Company Guidance
Record Safety Performance
Incident rate improved to 0.71 per 200,000 hours worked, a 12% improvement versus the prior all-time record, marking another record safety year.
Environmental Progress
Reclaimed twice as many acres as disturbed in 2025 and tied an all-time record low for environmental notices of violation, supporting reduced long-term footprint and financial obligations.
Centurion Mine Comes Online; Strong Project Economics
Centurion finishing longwall installation ahead of schedule and began mining premium metallurgical coal. Expected shipments average 4.7 million tons/yr (3.5M tons expected in 2026 ramping to 4.7M by 2028). Latest assessment values Centurion at $2.1 billion NPV at $225 benchmark pricing (previously $1.6B at $210) with all-in costs of ~$105/short ton (2024$) and a >25-year mine life with 140M ton integrated plan.
Met Coal Realizations Improving
Company expects met segment realizations to rise from ~70% of the premium hard coking coal benchmark in 2025 to ~80% in 2026, driven by Centurion volumes and full-benchmark pricing proximity to Asian demand.
Seaborne Metallurgical Pricing Recovery
Benchmark seaborne metallurgical coal pricing reached an 18-month high, increasing ~15% from $190/ton at the start of Q4 and a further ~15% since the beginning of the year per management commentary.
Strong US Coal Market Demand
U.S. coal fuel generation rose an estimated 13% year-over-year in 2025 while coal production increased ~4%, causing utility stockpiles to decline ~15% YoY and supporting stronger short-term demand.
Solid Financial and Cash Generation
Q4 net income attributable to common stockholders was $10.4M ($0.09/share) with adjusted EBITDA of $118M (up 19% from prior quarter). Operating cash flow from continuing operations was $69M in Q4 and $336M for the full year. Year-end cash was $575M with total liquidity >$900M.
High Cash-Flowing Thermal Platforms
US thermal delivered $63M adjusted EBITDA in Q4 and nearly $250M for the full year against only $57M of CapEx; PRB shipped 84.5M tons in 2025 (up ~6% YoY) and the US thermal business has generated ~$1.1B net cash over the last five years.
Commercial Wins and Long-Term Contracts
Reached agreement with a major Midwestern utility for >20M tons of Illinois Basin coal over five years (exceeding $1B in total sales), demonstrating durable contract demand for domestic coal supply.
Critical Minerals and Diversification Opportunities
Advanced rare earth and critical mineral testing (>800 PRB samples), identifying encouraging heavy rare earth concentrations (estimated 21%–28% of critical mineral oxide concentrations) and pursuing partnerships and a recommended $6.25M Wyoming grant for a pilot processing plant.
