Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Executive summary
Q3 2024 was marked by a net loss of $6.2 million and revenue decline to $617.9 million, driven by softness in global metallurgical coal markets and oversupply in domestic thermal coal markets.
Announced and advanced a definitive all-stock merger agreement with CONSOL Energy, with all international and HSR approvals secured and closing expected by Q1 2025, pending shareholder votes.
Managed a three-week shiploader outage, reducing coking coal shipments by 200,000 tons and ending Q3 with 500,000 tons in inventory.
Initiated a voluntary separation plan in the Thermal segment to align workforce with lower sales volumes.
Declared a $0.25/share dividend ($4.6M total) payable in November 2024.
Financial highlights
Q3 2024 revenue was $617.9 million, down 17% year-over-year; net loss of $6.2 million compared to net income of $73.7 million in Q3 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2024 was $44.2 million, down from $126.3 million in Q3 2023.
Cash provided by operations for the nine months was $212.4 million, with $24.9 million in Q3, and ended Q3 with $255.9 million in cash and short-term investments.
Paid down $5.1 million in debt during Q3; total debt at September 30, 2024: $126.9 million (current), $105.3 million (long-term).
Over $1.3 billion returned to shareholders since February 2022, including $736 million in dividends and $614.7 million in share/debt repurchases.
Outlook and guidance
Both metallurgical and thermal segments are expected to improve in 2025, with cost reductions, higher margins, and improved operational execution at Leer and Leer South mines.
Most lower-priced legacy contracts at West Elk mine expected to expire by year-end 2024, with new contracts up to $30/ton higher.
Formal guidance discontinued due to the pending merger; minimum liquidity target of $250–$300 million to be maintained.
Expect continued volatility in coking coal prices and domestic thermal coal demand to remain pressured by high utility stockpiles and low gas prices.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
