Q3 2025 earnings summary4 Nov, 2025

Executive summary

  • Generated $42 million of free cash flow in Q3 2025 and $190 million over the last 12 months, despite significant headwinds in metallurgical coal, thermal coal, and soda ash markets.

  • Operating cash flow was $121.1 million and free cash flow was $123.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, with liquidity of $190.1 million and a leverage ratio of 0.4x.

  • Revenues and other income declined 21% year-over-year to $160.6 million, driven by lower coal and soda ash prices and volumes.

  • Retired nearly $130 million of debt over the past 12 months, with $70 million remaining at quarter-end; on track to increase unit holder distributions, but timing may be delayed if market weakness persists.

  • Paid $0.75 per common unit for both Q2 and Q3 2025 distributions, with a special $1.21 per unit distribution in March 2025.

Financial highlights

  • Q3 2025 net income was $31 million, operating cash flow $41 million, and free cash flow $42 million.

  • Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $105.4 million, down from $140.9 million year-over-year.

  • Adjusted EBITDA for the period was $126.9 million, a decrease from $176.6 million in the prior year.

  • Mineral rights segment generated $41 million net income, $44 million operating cash flow, and $45 million free cash flow; net income flat year-over-year, but operating and free cash flow down $9 million due to weaker met coal prices.

  • Soda ash segment net income decreased $11 million year-over-year, with operating and free cash flow each down $6 million, driven by lower international prices and weak demand.

Outlook and guidance

  • Management expects continued weak pricing for metallurgical and thermal coal due to soft global steel demand and ample coal stockpiles.

  • No near-term catalysts identified for coal or soda ash market recovery; expect supply rationalization in soda ash, but timing is uncertain and may take years.

  • Plan to increase unit holder distributions once debt is further reduced, but warn that prolonged market weakness could delay this.

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.
