"Our remarkable fourth quarter results demonstrated the value of Peabody's diverse asset portfolio.  While there were challenges to overcome, we were able to deliver record Free Cash Flow and repay all remaining senior secured debt," said Peabody President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Grech.  "Additionally, due to our strong operating results and financial condition, we are actively addressing the remaining requirements to implement a shareholder return program."

  • Record Free Cash Flow of $580 million in the fourth quarter
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $501 million in the fourth quarter and $1,845 million for the full year 2022

  • Achieved highest 2022 quarterly production rate in three out of four operating segments in the fourth quarter
  • Record low annual global injury rate, with zero reportable incidents at three of our mines
  • Commenced redevelopment of North Goonyella, a premium hard-coking coal longwall operation in Australia with over 70 million tons of reserves
  • Completed Moorvale South project, which adds incremental volumes and extends the mine life at the CMJV
  • Extended life of El Segundo/Lee Ranch through a new long-term coal supply agreement

___________________________________

1 Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures.  Adjusted EBITDA margin is equal to segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by segment revenue. Revenue per Ton and Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton are equal to revenue by segment and Adjusted EBITDA by segment, respectively, divided by segment tons sold. Costs per Ton is equal to Revenue per Ton less Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton. Management believes Costs per Ton and Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton best reflect controllable costs and operating results at the reporting segment level. We consider all measures reported on a per ton basis, as well as Adjusted EBITDA margin, to be operating/statistical measures. Please refer to the tables and related notes in this press release for a reconciliation and definition of non-GAAP financial measures.

During the fourth quarter, the seaborne thermal segment shipped 4.1 million tons, the highest quarterly sales volume for the year, 0.4 million tons more than the third quarter.  Export shipments increased by approximately 0.7 million tons in the quarter to 2.3 million tons.  The average export realized price decreased 19 percent to $151.61 per ton, primarily due to higher hedged ton settlements compared to the prior quarter.  Fourth quarter seaborne thermal segment costs decreased 12 percent to $43.10 per ton due to lower sales price-sensitive costs and favorable production volumes, despite rainfall which was 40 percent higher than the historical average.  The segment reported Adjusted EBITDA margins of 54 percent and Adjusted EBITDA of $209.1 million in the fourth quarter.

The PRB segment shipped 21.2 million tons at an average realized price of $13.88 per ton in the fourth quarter, $0.89 per ton higher than the prior quarter.  Tons sold were negatively impacted by approximately 1.1 million tons, primarily due to winter weather related rail disruptions.  PRB costs per ton increased 13 percent, or $1.42 per ton, primarily due to lower sales volumes, higher black lung excise taxes as part of the Inflation Reduction Act and higher maintenance and repair costs.  The segment reported 8 percent Adjusted EBITDA margins and Adjusted EBITDA of $24.7 million in the fourth quarter.

The other U.S. thermal segment shipped 5.0 million tons, the highest quarterly sales volume for the year, at an average realized price of $52.35 per ton in the fourth quarter.  Costs per ton increased 4 percent from the prior quarter to $40.84 primarily due to higher black lung excise taxes and labor costs.  The segment reported 22 percent Adjusted EBITDA margins and Adjusted EBITDA of $57.8 million in the fourth quarter. 

Other

In the fourth quarter, the company recognized income from equity affiliates of $10.3 million and $131.2 million for the full year.  This is primarily related to its fifty percent interest in Middlemount and attributable metallurgical sales volume of 0.4 million tons in the fourth quarter and 1.6 million tons for the full year. 

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Peabody ended the year with $1,307.3 million of cash and cash equivalents.  In the fourth quarter, the company generated $579.7 million of Free Cash Flow.  Cash margin required for the company's coal hedging activities decreased $210 million to approximately $255 million at December 31, 2022. 

The company continued to reduce total debt levels, retiring all of the $545 million of senior secured debt during the quarter.  The company posted an additional $62 million of cash collateral in support of future reclamation obligations, bringing total cash collateral supporting surety bonds to $150 million at December 31, 2022, which is reported in restricted cash and collateral arrangements on the Company's balance sheet.  Based on fourth quarter Free Cash Flow results, an additional $75 million of cash collateral has been posted in the first quarter of 2023.

First Quarter 2023 Outlook   

Seaborne Thermal

  • Export volume is expected to be 1.8 million tons, less than ratable to full-year guidance, due to lower production as a result of a longwall move at Wambo Underground and recovery from heavy rains in the fourth quarter.
  • 0.7 million export tons are priced at $189 per ton (includes the Wambo hedges at $84 per metric tonne), and approximately 0.9 million tons of high ash product and 0.2 million tons of Newcastle product are unpriced.
  • Costs are expected to be $60-$65 per ton.

Seaborne Metallurgical

  • Seaborne met volumes are expected to be 1.3-1.5 million tons, less than ratable to full-year guidance due to heavy rains in Queensland and geologic conditions at Shoal Creek.
  • 0.9 million export tons are priced at $216 per ton. The remaining unpriced volumes are expected to achieve 75 to 80 percent of the premium hard coking coal price index.
  • Costs are expected to be $140-$150 per ton.

U.S. Thermal

  • PRB volume is expected to be approximately 22 million tons at an average price of $13.80 per ton and cost of approximately $11.60 per ton.
  • Other U.S. Thermal volume is expected to be approximately 4.7 million tons at an average price of $52.50 per ton and cost of approximately $40 per ton.

(1)

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income from continuing operations before deducting net interest expense, income taxes, asset retirement obligation
expenses and depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is also adjusted for the discrete items that management excluded in
analyzing each of our segment's operating performance as displayed in the reconciliation above. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management as the
primary metric to measure each of our segment's operating performance and allocate resources.

(2)

Total Reporting Segment Costs is defined as operating costs and expenses adjusted for the discrete items that management excluded in analyzing
each of our segment's operating performance, as displayed in the reconciliation above. Total Reporting Segment Costs is used by management as
a component of a metric to measure each of our segment's operating performance.

(3)

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less net cash used in investing activities and excludes cash outflows related
to business combinations. Free Cash Flow is used by management as a measure of our financial performance and our ability to generate excess
cash flow from our business operations.
