Despite challenging market conditions with weak coal and soda ash prices, NRP has managed to generate significant free cash flow and is making progress on deleveraging. However, the outlook remains cautious due to ongoing market pressures.
Company Guidance
During the Natural Resource Partners L.P. Second Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call, it was reported that NRP generated $46 million in free cash flow for the quarter and $203 million over the past year. Despite the cyclical lows in the prices of key commodities such as metallurgical coal, thermal coal, and soda ash, NRP has successfully continued its deleveraging strategy, aiming to pay off most of its debt by mid-next year and increase unitholder distributions by next August. The Mineral Rights segment saw a decrease of $13 million in net income compared to the previous year due to weaker coal markets, while the Soda Ash segment experienced a $1 million decrease in net income due to price drops influenced by weak demand and new supply from China. The Corporate and Financing segment showed improvements due to reduced debt levels, resulting in lower interest costs. The company is preparing for future opportunities, potentially involving acquisitions, once their debt is substantially reduced.
