Key Reasons to Invest in BTU

Coal is the fastest-growing fuel in the world and Peabody is the world's largest private-sector coal company and the only pure-play coal investment.
During 2009, Peabody increased U.S. EBITDA to a record $1 billion, saw Australia second-half volumes rise 37% in conjunction with the improving demand in the Pacific, and generated operating cash flows of more than $1 billion; Peabody enters 2010 in a stronger financial position than it did a year ago.
Peabody is uniquely positioned for success:
- Only U.S.-based coal company serving major, long-term demand epicenters of Asia;
- Operating portfolio of predominately large-scale, low cost surface operations making performance less susceptible to geology, permitting and safety compliance issues more common to high-cost U.S. regions;
- Strong financial position and liquidity; and
- Opportunistically evaluating potential acquisitions amid currently distressed market conditions.
