  • Moolarben and Mount Thorley Warkworth mines exceeded targets, with Moolarben’s saleable coal production up 23% and MTW up 34% sequentially.

  • The acquisition of an 80% interest in the Kestrel Coal Mine was announced, with completion targeted by end of Q3 2026, expected to diversify and strengthen the production portfolio.

  • Decision made to cease Ashton mine operations from early 2028 due to technical and economic challenges, with support measures for affected employees.

Financial highlights

  • Ended Q2 with a cash balance of over AUD 2 billion (USD 2.01 billion), steady with the previous quarter despite paying AUD 1.61 billion in final dividends and a deposit for Project Kestrel.

  • Average realized coal price increased to AUD 160/tonne in 2Q 2026, up 9% sequentially and 13% year-over-year.

  • Attributable sales volume for 2Q 2026 was 11.6Mt, up 41% from the prior quarter.

  • Strong operating cash flow maintained, with temporary cash flow volatility due to timing of payments and receipts.

  • Attributable saleable coal production for the first half of 2026 was 19.8Mt, 5% ahead of 2025.

Outlook and guidance

  • On track to exceed last year’s production record and deliver in the upper half of 2026 guidance (36.5–40.5Mt attributable saleable production).

  • Capital expenditure for 2026 projected at the low end of the $750–900 million range, with some spend deferred to 2027.

  • Cash operating costs expected at AUD 90–98/tonne, trending toward the upper half due to diesel prices but not at the top end.

  • Dividend policy remains at 50% of NPAT or free cash flow, whichever is higher, subject to Board approval.

  • No immediate plans for equity capital raising.

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.
