Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Arch Resources, Inc. (“Arch Resources”) and its subsidiaries (“Arch” or the “Company”). Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “Arch” and the “Company” are used interchangeably in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company’s primary business is the production of metallurgical and thermal coal from underground and surface mines located throughout the United States, for sale to steel producers, utility companies, and industrial accounts both in the United States and around the world. The Company currently operates mining complexes in West Virginia, Wyoming and Colorado. All subsidiaries are wholly owned. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial reporting and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

2. Accounting Policies

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)—Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share calculation for convertible instruments by requiring the use of the if-converted method. The if-converted method assumes the conversion of convertible instruments occurs at the beginning of the reporting period and diluted weighted average shares outstanding includes the common shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public business entities, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 under the modified retrospective approach.

Upon issuance of the Company's $155.3 million principal amount of 5.25 % convertible senior notes due 2025 (the "Convertible Notes") in November 2020, the Company bifurcated the debt and equity components of the Convertible Notes to long-term debt and additional paid-in capital in its consolidated balance sheet. The amount recorded to additional paid-in capital represented a debt discount that was being amortized to interest expense over the life of the Convertible Notes. As part of the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the Company (i) reversed the equity component recorded to additional paid-in capital of $39.2 million, (ii) recorded a cumulative effect of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 of $6.7 million to retained earnings, representing a reversal of the debt discount that was amortized to interest expense, and (iii) an offsetting increase in debt. See Note 8, “Debt and Financing Arrangements” for additional information.

Additionally, upon adoption of ASU 2020-06, the treasury stock method utilized by the Company to calculate earnings per share through December 31, 2021 is no longer permitted. Accordingly, the Company has transitioned to the if-converted method utilizing the modified retrospective approach, resulting in 4.2 million shares being included in the Company's weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Under the previous treasury stock method, the diluted earnings per share would have been approximately $13.73. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06, diluted earnings per share decreased by $0.84 for the quarter end March 31, 2022. See Note 11, “Earnings (Loss) per Common Share” for additional information.

Table of Contents

The repair parts and supplies are stated net of an allowance for slow-moving and obsolete inventories of $2.3 million at March 31, 2022 and $2.3 million at December 31, 2021.

5. Investments in Available-for-Sale Securities

The Company has invested in marketable debt securities, primarily highly liquid U.S. Treasury securities and investment grade corporate bonds. These investments are held in the custody of a major financial institution. These securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and, accordingly, the unrealized gains and losses are recorded through other comprehensive income. During the quarter of March 31, 2022, the Company liquidated its remaining investments.

The Company’s investments in available-for-sale marketable securities are as follows:

There were no investments with unrealized losses that were owned for less than a year at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The aggregate fair value of investments with unrealized losses that were owned for over a year was $0.0 million and $14.5 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company classifies its investments as current based on the nature of the investments and their availability to provide cash for use in current operations.

6. Derivatives

Diesel fuel price risk management

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to diesel fuel purchased for use in its operations. The Company anticipates purchasing approximately 40 to 45 million gallons of diesel fuel for use in its operations during 2022. To protect the Company’s cash flows from increases in the price of diesel fuel for its operations, the Company purchased heating oil call options. At March 31, 2022, the Company had protected the price of expected diesel fuel purchases for 2022 with approximately 12 million gallons of heating oil call options with an average strike price of $2.61 per gallon. These positions are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, and therefore, changes in the fair value are recorded immediately to earnings.

Table of Contents

Coal price risk management positions

The Company may sell or purchase forward contracts, swaps and options in the over-the-counter coal market in order to manage its exposure to coal prices. The Company has exposure to the risk of fluctuating coal prices related to forecasted, index-priced sales or purchases of coal or to the risk of changes in the fair value of a fixed price physical sales contract. Certain derivative contracts may be designated as hedges of these risks.

At March 31, 2022, the Company held derivatives for risk management purposes that are expected to settle in the following years:

Coal sales		221
Coal purchases		11

Tabular derivatives disclosures

The Company has master netting agreements with all of its counterparties which allow for the settlement of contracts in an asset position with contracts in a liability position in the event of default or termination. Such netting arrangements reduce the Company’s credit exposure related to these counterparties. For classification purposes, the Company records the net fair value of all the positions with a given counterparty as a net asset or liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amounts shown in the table below represent the fair value position of individual contracts, and not the net position presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value and location of derivatives reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows:

Term Loan Facility

In 2017, the Company entered into a senior secured term loan credit agreement in an aggregate principal amount of $300 million (the “Term Loan Debt Facility”) with Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other financial institutions from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”). The Term Loan Debt Facility was issued at 99.50% of the face amount and will mature on March 7, 2024. The term loans provided under the Term Loan Debt Facility (the “Term Loans”) are subject to quarterly principal amortization payments in an amount equal to $750,000. The interest rate on the Term Loan Debt Facility is, at the option of Arch Resources, either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 2.75%, subject to a 1.00% LIBOR floor, or (ii) a base rate plus an applicable margin of 1.75%.

The Term Loan Debt Facility is guaranteed by all existing and future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors” and, together with Arch Resources, the “Loan Parties”), subject to customary exceptions, and is secured by first priority security interests on substantially all assets of the Loan Parties, including 100% of the voting equity interests of directly owned domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the voting equity interests of directly owned foreign subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company repaid $271.5 million of the Term Loans leaving a remaining balance of $8.8 million. The remaining balance of $8.8 million was left as certain terms and conditions governing the Term Loan are incorporated into the Company’s outstanding indebtedness. As a result of the repayment, the Company recorded $4.1 million as “net loss resulting from early retirement of debt” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations relating to deferred financing fees, original issue discount, and the ineffective portion of an interest rate swap designated as a cashflow hedge, partially offset by gains on repurchases of the Term Loans.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility

On September 30, 2020, the Company amended and extended its existing trade accounts receivable securitization facility provided to Arch Receivable Company, LLC, a special-purpose entity that is a wholly owned subsidiary of Arch Resources (“Arch Receivable”) (the “Securitization Facility”), which supports the issuance of letters of credit and requests for cash advances. The amendment to the Securitization Facility reduced the size of the facility from $160 million to $110 million of borrowing capacity and extended the maturity date to September 29, 2023.

Under the Securitization Facility, Arch Receivable, Arch Resources and certain of Arch Resources’s subsidiaries party to the Securitization Facility have granted to the administrator of the Securitization Facility a first priority security interest in eligible trade accounts receivable generated by such parties from the sale of coal and all proceeds thereof. As of March 31, 2022, letters of credit totaling $67.6 million were outstanding under the facility with $42.4 million available for borrowings.

Inventory-Based Revolving Credit Facility

On September 30, 2020, Arch Resources amended the senior secured inventory-based revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $50 million (the “Inventory Facility”) with Regions Bank (“Regions”) as administrative agent and collateral agent, as lender and swingline lender (in such capacities, the “Lender”) and as letter of credit issuer. Availability under the Inventory Facility is subject to a borrowing base consisting of (i) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible coal inventory, plus (ii) the lesser of (x) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible parts and supplies inventory and (y) 35% of the amount determined pursuant to clause (i), plus (iii) 100% of Arch Resources’s Eligible Cash (defined in the Inventory Facility), subject to reduction for reserves imposed by Regions.

The amendment of the Inventory Facility extended the maturity of the facility to September 29, 2023; eliminated the provision that accelerated maturity upon Liquidity (as defined in the Inventory Facility) falling below a specified level; and reduced the minimum Liquidity requirement from $175 million to $100 million. Additionally, the amendment included provisions that reduce the advance rates for coal inventory and parts and supplies, depending on “liquidity.”

The Inventory Facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants; events of default, subject to customary thresholds and exceptions; and representations, including certain cash management and reporting requirements that are customary for asset-based credit facilities. The Inventory Facility also includes a requirement to

maintain liquidity equal to or exceeding $100 million at all times. As of March 31, 2022, letters of credit totaling $27.7 million were outstanding under the facility with $22.3 million available for borrowings.

Equipment Financing

On March 4, 2020, the Company entered into an equipment financing arrangement accounted for as debt. The Company received $53.6 million in exchange for conveying an interest in certain equipment in operation at its Leer mine and entered into a master lease arrangement for that equipment. The financing arrangement contains customary terms and events of default and provides for 48 monthly payments with an average interest rate of 6.34% maturing on March 4, 2024. Upon maturity, all interests in the subject equipment will revert back to the Company.

On July 29, 2021, the Company entered into an additional equipment financing arrangement accounted for as debt. The Company received $23.5 million in exchange for conveying an interest in certain equipment in operation at its Powder River Basin operations and entered into a master lease arrangement for that equipment. The financing arrangement contains customary terms and events of default and provides for 42 monthly payments with an average implied interest rate of 7.35% maturing on February 1, 2025. Upon maturity, the Company will have the option to purchase the equipment.

Tax Exempt Bonds

On July 2, 2020, the West Virginia Economic Development Authority (the “Issuer”) issued $53.1 million aggregate principal amount of Solid Waste Disposal Facility Revenue Bonds (Arch Resources Project), Series 2020 (the “Tax Exempt Bonds”) pursuant to an Indenture of Trust dated as of June 1, 2020 (the “Indenture of Trust”) between the Issuer and Citibank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). On March 4, 2021, the Issuer issued an additional $45.0 million of Series 2021 Tax Exempt Bonds. The proceeds of the Tax Exempt Bonds were loaned to the Company pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated as of June 1, as supplemented by a First Amendment to Loan Agreement dated as of March 1, 2021 (collectively, the “Loan Agreement”), each between the Issuer and the Company. The Tax Exempt Bonds are payable solely from payments to be made by the Company under the Loan Agreement as evidenced by a Note from the Company to the Trustee. The proceeds of the Tax Exempt Bonds have been used to finance certain costs of the acquisition, construction, reconstruction, and equipping of solid waste disposal facilities at the Company’s Leer South development, and for capitalized interest and certain costs related to issuance of the Tax Exempt Bonds.

The Tax Exempt Bonds bear interest payable each January 1 and July 1, commencing January 1, 2021 for the Series 2020 and July 1, 2021 for the Series 2021, and have a final maturity of July 1, 2045; however, the Tax Exempt Bonds are subject to mandatory tender on July 1, 2025 at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Tax Exempt Bonds, plus accrued interest to July 1, 2025. The Series 2020 and Series 2021 Tax Exempt Bonds bear interest of 5% and 4.125%, respectively.

The Company utilized all of the Tax Exempt Bond proceeds in 2021.

Convertible Debt

On November 3, 2020, the Company issued $155.3 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.25% convertible senior notes due 2025 (“Convertible Notes ” or “Convertible Debt”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes, after deducting offering related costs of $5.1 million and cost of a “Capped Call Transaction” as defined below of $17.5 million, were approximately $132.7 million. The Convertible Notes bear interest at the annual rate of 5.25%, payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on May 15, 2021, and will mature on November 15, 2025, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased by the Company.

The Convertible Notes are convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election, at an initial conversion rate of 26.7917 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $37.325 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Convertible Notes (the "Indenture").

Table of Contents

The conversion rate of the Convertible Notes may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in connection with a conversion of the Convertible Notes made following certain fundamental changes and under other circumstances set forth in the Indenture such as a declaration of a dividend.

During the first quarter of 2022, the strike price was revalued to $37.126 per share as a result of the first quarter dividend declaration. The Convertible Notes may be converted at any time after, and including, July 15, 2025 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date.

During the first quarter of 2022, the common stock sale condition of the Convertible Notes was satisfied. As described in the Indenture, this condition is satisfied when the closing stock price exceeds 130% of the conversion price of $37.126 per share for at least 20 trading days of the last 30 trading days prior to quarter end. As a result, the Convertible Notes are currently convertible at the election of noteholders during the second quarter of 2022 and are classified as current maturities of debt on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2022.

As of March 31, 2022, all of the Convertible Notes remained outstanding. In addition, from April 1, 2022 to the date of this filing, the Company has not received any conversion requests for Convertible Notes and does not anticipate receiving any conversion requests in the near term as the market value of the Convertible Notes exceeds the conversion value of the Convertible Notes. As of March 31, 2022, the if-converted value of the Convertible Notes exceeded the principal amount by $419.2 million. It is the Company’s current intent and policy to settle any conversions of notes through a combination of cash and shares.

Capped Call Transactions

In connection with the offering of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (collectively, the “Capped Call Transactions”). The Capped Call Transactions cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that initially underlie the Convertible Notes.

The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount due upon conversion of the Convertible Notes in the event that the market price of the Company’s common stock is greater than the strike price of the Capped Call Transactions, which was initially $37.325 per share and the initial cap price was $52.255 per share. The initial call and cap prices are subject to adjustments under the terms of the underlying capped call agreements, including various transactions such as the payment of dividends. The number of shares underlying the Capped Call Transactions is 4.2 million.

Accounting Treatment of the Convertible Notes and Related Hedge Transactions

As the Capped Call Transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the Capped Call Transactions were classified as equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. Initially the proceeds from the offering of the Convertible Notes were separated into liability and equity components. On the date of issuance, the liability and equity components of the Convertible Notes were calculated to be approximately $114.5 million and $40.8 million, respectively. The amount recorded to additional paid-in capital represented a debt discount that was being amortized to interest expense over the life the Convertible Notes.

Upon issuance of the Company's $155.3 million principal amount of 5.25% convertible senior notes due 2025 (the "Convertible Notes") in November 2020, the Company bifurcated the debt and equity components of the Convertible Notes to long-term debt and additional paid-in capital in its consolidated balance sheet. The amount recorded to additional paid-in capital represented a debt discount that was being amortized to interest expense over the life of the Convertible Notes. As part of the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the Company (i) reversed the equity component recorded to additional paid-in capital of $39.2 million, (ii) recorded a cumulative effect of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 of $6.7 million to retained earnings, representing a reversal of the debt discount that was amortized to interest expense, and (iii) an offsetting increase in debt. See Note 2, “Accounting Policies” for additional information.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2022, the Convertible Notes had an outstanding principal balance of $155.3 million and unamortized issuance costs of $4.4 million.

Total interest expense related to the Convertible Debt for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $2.3 million, which was related to the contractual interest coupon of $2.0 million and $0.3 million of amortization of deferred financing fees. Total interest expense related to the Convertible Debt for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $3.7 million and was comprised of $2.0 million related to the contractual interest coupon and $1.7 million related to the amortization of the discount on the liability component and amortization of deferred financing fees.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company entered into a series of interest rate swaps to fix a portion of the LIBOR interest payments due under the Term Loan Debt Facility. Through the date of the prepayment, the interest rate swaps qualified for cash flow hedge accounting treatment, and as such, the change in the fair value of the interest rate swaps was recorded on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as an asset or liability with the effective portion of the gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion reported in earnings. Due to the Company repaying the majority of the Term Loans, the interest rate swaps no longer qualify for cash flow hedge accounting and is considered ineffective. As a result, the Company reclassified $1.4 million from other comprehensive income to expense. Additionally, future changes in value of the interest rate swaps will be recorded to “other operating income, net” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The fair value of the interest rate swaps at March 31, 2022 is a liability of $0.3 million, which is recorded within Other noncurrent liabilities. The Company realized $0.1 million of losses during the three months ended March 31, 2022, related to settlements of the interest rate swaps, which were recorded to interest expense on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The interest rate swaps are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

10. Fair Value Measurements

The hierarchy of fair value measurements assigns a level to fair value measurements based on the inputs used in the respective valuation techniques. The levels of the hierarchy, as defined below, give the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

●

Level 1 is defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 1 assets may include available-for-sale securities, U.S. Treasury securities, and coal swaps and futures that are submitted for clearing on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Table of Contents

●

Level 2 is defined as observable inputs other than Level 1 prices. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The Company’s Level 2 assets and liabilities may include U.S. government agency securities, coal commodity contracts, and interest rate swaps with fair values derived from quoted prices in over-the-counter markets or from prices received from direct broker quotes.

●

Level 3 is defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. These may include the Company’s commodity option contracts (coal and heating oil) valued using modeling techniques, such as Black-Scholes, that require the use of inputs, particularly volatility, that are rarely observable.

The table below sets forth, by level, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet:


	March 31, 2022
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Liabilities:
Derivatives	$	13,121	$	—	$	13,121	$	—

The Company’s contracts with its counterparties allow for the settlement of contracts in an asset position with contracts in a liability position in the event of default or termination. For classification purposes, the Company records the net fair value of all the positions with these counterparties as a net asset or liability. Each level in the table above displays the underlying contracts according to their classification in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, based on this counterparty netting.

The following table summarizes the change in fair values of financial instruments categorized as Level 3.

Fair Value of Long-Term Debt

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of the Company’s debt, including amounts classified as current, was $741.9 million and $819.5 million, respectively. Fair values are based upon observed prices in an active market, when available, or from valuation models using market information, which fall into Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

11. Earnings (Loss) per Common Share

The Company computes basic net income (loss) per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of

Table of Contents

common shares and the effect of potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities may consist of warrants, restricted stock units, and convertible debt. The dilutive effect of outstanding warrants and restricted stock units is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. The weighted average share impact of warrants, restricted stock units, and convertible debt that were excluded from the calculation of diluted shares due to the Company incurring a net loss for the three months ending March 31, 2021 were 1,158,000 shares.

The following table provides the basic and diluted earnings per share by reconciling the numerators and denominators of the computations:



	Three Months Ended March 31,

Effect of dilutive securities		1,651		—
Convertible Notes (a)		4,173		—
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding		21,271		15,283

(a)

Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding includes the dilutive effect had the Company's Convertible Notes been converted at the beginning of the year ended December 31, 2022. If converted by the holder, the Company may settle in cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company's election. The Capped Call Transaction is anti-dilutive and is excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

12. Workers Compensation Expense

The Company is liable under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1969, as subsequently amended, to provide for pneumoconiosis (occupational disease) benefits to eligible employees, former employees and dependents. The Company currently provides for federal claims principally through a self-insurance program. The Company is also liable under various state workers’ compensation statutes for occupational disease benefits. The occupational disease benefit obligation represents the present value of the actuarially computed present and future liabilities for such benefits over the employees’ applicable years of service.

In October 2019, the Company filed an application with the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (“OWCP”) within the Department of Labor for reauthorization to self-insure federal black lung benefits. In February 2020, the Company received a reply from the OWCP confirming Arch’s status to remain self-insured contingent upon posting additional collateral of $71.1 million within 30 days of receipt of the letter. The Company is currently appealing the ruling from the OWCP and has received an extension to self-insure during the appeal process. The Company is evaluating alternatives to self-insurance, including the purchase of commercial insurance to cover these claims.

In addition, the Company is liable for workers’ compensation benefits for traumatic injuries which are calculated using actuarially-based loss rates, loss development factors and discounted based on a risk free rate. Traumatic workers’ compensation claims are insured with varying retentions/deductibles, or through state-sponsored workers’ compensation programs.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company accrues for costs related to contingencies when a loss is probable and the amount is reasonably determinable. Disclosure of contingencies is included in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss or an additional material loss in excess of amounts already accrued may be incurred.

Table of Contents

The Company is a party to numerous claims and lawsuits with respect to various matters. The ultimate resolution of any such legal matter could result in outcomes that may be materially different from amounts the Company has accrued for such matters. The Company believes it has recorded adequate reserves for these matters.

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to certain financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, such as bank letters of credit, performance or surety bonds, and other guarantees and indemnities related to the obligations of affiliated entities which are not reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, the underlying liabilities that they secure, such as asset retirement obligations, workers’ compensation liabilities, and other obligations, are reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had outstanding surety bonds with a face amount of $586.4 million to secure various obligations and commitments and $95.3 million of letters of credit under its Securitization and Inventory Facilities used to collateralize certain obligations. The Company had posted $5.6 million in cash collateral related to various obligations; this amount is recorded within “Noncurrent assets” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s reclamation-related obligations of $215.5 million were supported by surety bonds of $500.3 million and $20.0 million in letters of credit used to collateralize certain obligations. The Company has posted $0.6 million in cash collateral related to reclamation surety bonds. This amount is recorded within “Noncurrent assets” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2022, the Company contributed an additional $20 million to a fund that will serve to defease the long-term asset retirement obligation for its thermal asset base bringing the total to $40.0 million as of March 31, 2022. This amount is recorded as “Fund for asset retirement obligations” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

15. Segment Information

The Company’s reportable business segments are based on two distinct lines of business, metallurgical and thermal, and may include a number of mine complexes. The Company manages its coal sales by market, not by individual mining complex. Geology, coal transportation routes to customers, and regulatory environments also have a significant impact on the Company’s marketing and operations management. Mining operations are evaluated based on Adjusted EBITDA, per-ton cash operating costs (defined as including all mining costs except depreciation, depletion, amortization, accretion on asset retirement obligations, and pass-through transportation expenses, divided by segment tons sold), and on other non-financial measures, such as safety and environmental performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial condition. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to net income (loss), income (loss) from operations, cash flows from operations or as a measure of our profitability, liquidity or performance under generally accepted accounting principles. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of its segments and allocate resources to the segments. Furthermore, analogous measures are used by industry analysts and investors to evaluate the Company’s operating performance. Investors should be aware that the Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company reports its results of operations primarily through the following reportable segments: Metallurgical (MET) segment, containing the Company’s metallurgical operations in West Virginia, and the Thermal segment containing the Company’s thermal operations in Wyoming and Colorado.

Reporting segment results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are presented below. The Corporate, Other, and Eliminations grouping includes these charges: idle operations; change in fair value of coal derivatives and coal trading activities, net; corporate overhead; land management activities; other support functions; and the elimination of intercompany transactions.

16. Revenue Recognition

ASC 606-10-50-5 requires that entities disclose disaggregated revenue information in categories (such as type of goods or services, geography, market, type of contract, etc.) that depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flow are affected by economic factors. ASC 606-10-55-89 explains that the extent to which an entity’s revenue is disaggregated depends on the facts and circumstances that pertain to the entity’s contracts with customers and that some entities may need to use more than one type of category to meet the objective for disaggregating revenue.

In general, the Company’s business segmentation is aligned according to the nature and economic characteristics of its coal and customer relationships and provides meaningful disaggregation of each segment’s results. The Company has further disaggregated revenue between North America and Seaborne revenues which depicts the pricing and contract differences between the two. North America revenue is characterized by contracts with a term of one year or longer and

typically the pricing is fixed; whereas Seaborne revenue generally is derived by spot or short term contracts with an index-based pricing mechanism.

17. Leases

The Company has operating and financing leases for mining equipment, office equipment, office space and transloading terminals with remaining lease terms ranging from less than one year to approximately five years. Some of these leases include both lease and non-lease components which are accounted for as a single lease component as the Company has elected the practical expedient to combine these components for all leases. As most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company calculated the “right-of-use” (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities using its secured incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had the following ROU assets and lease liabilities within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

COVID-19

In the first quarter of 2020, COVID-19 emerged as a global pandemic. The continuing responses to the COVID-19 outbreak include actions that have a significant impact on domestic and global economies, including travel restrictions, gathering bans, stay at home orders, and many other restrictive measures. All of our operations have been classified as essential in the states in which we operate. We instituted many policies and procedures, in alignment with CDC guidelines along with state and local mandates, to protect our employees during the COVID-19 outbreak. These policies and procedures included, but were not limited to, staggering shift times to limit the number of people in common areas at one time, limiting meetings and meeting sizes, continual cleaning and disinfecting of high touch and high traffic areas, including door handles, bathrooms, bathhouses, access elevators, mining equipment, and other areas, limiting contractor access to our properties, limiting business travel, and instituting work from home for administrative employees. We continue to encourage vaccination among our workforce and adjust our COVID-19 responses. We continually evaluate our policies and procedures, in accordance with CDC, state, and local guidelines, and make any necessary adjustments to respond to the particular circumstances in the areas in which we operate.

We recognize that the COVID-19 outbreak and responses thereto also continue to impact both our customers and suppliers. We continue to communicate with them and closely monitor their developments to ensure we have access to the goods and services required to maintain our operations. In early 2022 increased case rates contributed to rail service issues that negatively impacted our export shipment volumes. We remain in close communication with our rail service providers, and work diligently with them to mitigate potential delays. Our current view of our customer demand and logistics situations are discussed in greater detail in the “Overview” section below.

Overview

Our results for the first quarter of 2022 benefited from continued improvement in metallurgical and thermal coal markets. The first quarter of 2022 was impacted by numerous events, particularly the Russian invasion of Ukraine; however, global economic growth appears to have slowed, but not reversed to date.

On February 24, 2022 Russia invaded Ukraine. Among the many humanitarian and economic impacts from the invasion, the significant disruption, and expectation for continued disruption, in global coal and energy supplies has had a significant upward impact on both coking and thermal coal indices. Russia is the third largest coal supplier to the international markets, and bans on the import of Russian coal by the European Union, Japan, and other nations will disrupt existing trading patterns, create logistical issues, and pressure the availability of supply to these markets for as long as the bans stay in place. Furthermore, financial sanctions against Russia have made US dollar denominated transactions with Russian entities difficult and riskier to conduct for jurisdictions that have not banned the import of Russian coal. Notably, India and China currently plan to continue the import of Russian coal, but there are barriers that are political, financial, and logistical, in nature to these plans. The Russian invasion of Ukraine does pose the threat of potential demand destruction to coal markets; however, to date, the evident supply disruption, far outweighs any potential demand destruction.

Table of Contents

As expected, the December 30, 2021 explosion at the Curtis Bay Terminal, one of two United States East Coast terminals we utilize to export our coking coal product overseas, coupled with the increased COVID-19 case rates and general labor shortages our rail service providers experienced, negatively impacted our volume of coking coal shipments in the first quarter of 2022. While rail service in our Metallurgical Segment improved late in the first quarter, and Curtis Bay operated at reduced rates during the first quarter of 2022, continued improvement will be required to meet our annual shipment volume forecasts. We continue working diligently with our rail service provider, and work to secure alternative vessel loading opportunities to attain our shipment forecasts. At this time, we believe we will make up the first quarter of 2022 shipment shortfall over the course of the remainder of 2022; however, our ability to make up this shortfall will, at least in part, be based on factors that are outside of our direct control.

China’s ban on importation of Australian coal remains in place, and we believe the supply of previously impounded Australian coal that was released during the fourth quarter of 2021 has been effectively exhausted. North American coking coal supply remains constrained compared to pre-COVID-19 levels, despite historically high indices. Some new supplies have been added to the market, in particular, our new Leer South longwall operation. Still, some of the high cost coking coal mine idlings announced during 2020 remain in place, and production and logistical disruptions also constrain supply. The duration of specific supply disruptions is unknown. We believe that underinvestment in the sector in recent years underlies the current market situation. In the current environment, we expect coking coal prices to remain volatile. Longer term, we believe continued limited global capital investment in new coking coal production capacity, normal reserve depletion, and continuing economic growth will provide support to coking coal markets.

Domestic thermal coal consumption was supported by continued high natural gas prices during the first quarter of 2022. Our thermal segment shipment volume increased significantly year-over-year, but was constrained by rail service capacity. Longer term, we continue to believe thermal coal demand will remain pressured by continuing increases in subsidized renewable generation sources, particularly wind and solar, and planned retirements of coal fueled generating facilities. Currently, however; the sustained increase in natural gas prices has led to a significant economic advantage for coal fired electricity generation. We believe coal generator stockpiles are likely below desired levels at many power stations. In the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, international thermal coal market indices increased to historical highs. While we are effectively completely committed for 2022 Thermal Segment sales at currently planned production levels, we do have some export volume that remains open to pricing based on these indices.

We continue to pursue other strategic alternatives for our thermal assets, including, among other things, potential divestiture. Currently, we will exercise our operational flexibility to maximize cash generation from our thermal operations, and we are currently setting aside significant funds in our thermal reclamation fund to be utilized in final mine reclamation. Longer term, we will maintain our focus on aligning our thermal production rates with the secular decline in domestic thermal coal demand, while adjusting our thermal operating plans to minimize future cash requirements and maintain flexibility to react to future short-term market fluctuations.

On a consolidated basis, coal sales in the first quarter of 2022 were approximately $510.4 million, or 142.8%, more than in the first quarter of 2021, while tons sold increased approximately 5.7 million tons, or 40.6%. Coal sales from Metallurgical operations increased approximately $293.4 million, primarily due to higher realized pricing. Thermal coal sales increased approximately $218.2 million due to increased pricing and volume. See the discussion in “Operational Performance” for further information about segment results.

Costs, expenses and other. The following table summarizes costs, expenses and other components of operating income during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

Total costs, expenses and other	$	583,593	$	357,880	$	(225,713)

Cost of sales. Our cost of sales for the first quarter of 2022 increased approximately $198.3 million, or 64.0%, versus the first quarter of 2021. The increase in cost of sales at ongoing operations is directly attributable to higher sales volumes and prices; which consists of increased repairs and supplies costs of approximately $75.5 million, increased transportation costs of approximately $71.2 million, and increased operating taxes and royalties resulting from higher sales prices of approximately $47.5 million. See discussion in “Operational Performance” for further information about segment results.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization. The increase in depreciation, depletion and amortization in the first quarter of 2022 versus the first quarter of 2021 is primarily due to the increased depreciation of plant and equipment and amortization of development in our Metallurgical Segment, specifically at the Leer South mine, as development has been completed.

Accretion on asset retirement obligations. The decrease in accretion expense in the first quarter of 2022 versus the first quarter of 2021 is primarily related to the timing of reclamation work completed at our Thermal operations, specifically at the Coal Creek mine.

Table of Contents

Change in fair value of coal derivatives and coal trading activities, net. The costs in both the first quarter of 2022 and 2021 are primarily related to mark-to-market losses on coal derivatives that we had entered to hedge our price risk for planned international thermal coal shipments.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2022 increased versus the first quarter of 2021 due to increased compensation costs of approximately $5.1 million, primarily related to higher incentive compensation accruals recorded in the first quarter of 2022, based on the projected strength of results for the year.

Other operating income, net. The decrease in other operating income, net in the first quarter of 2022 versus the first quarter of 2021, consists primarily of the net unfavorable impact of certain coal derivative settlements of approximately $9.2 million, partially offset by the favorable impact of mark to market movements on heating oil positions of approximately $6.8 million.

Nonoperating expenses. The following table summarizes our nonoperating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

Net loss resulting from early retirement of debt		(4,120)		—		(4,120)
Total nonoperating expenses	$	(4,993)	$	(1,527)	$	(3,466)

Non-service related pension and postretirement benefit costs. The decrease in non-service related pension and postretirement benefit costs is primarily due to the postretirement benefit gain amortization recorded in the first quarter of 2022 versus the postretirement benefit loss amortization recorded in the first quarter of 2021.

Net loss resulting from early retirement of debt. In the first quarter of 2022, we repaid $271.5 million of our Term Loan and recorded $4.1 million of early debt extinguishment; representing the write off of discount amortization, unamortized debt issuance costs, and the ineffective portion of the interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge that had been recorded in other comprehensive income.

Provision for income taxes. The following table summarizes our provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

Operational Performance

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

Our mining operations are evaluated based on Adjusted EBITDA, per-ton cash operating costs (defined as including all mining costs except depreciation, depletion, amortization, accretion on asset retirements obligations, and pass-through transportation expenses, divided by segment tons sold), and on other non-financial measures, such as safety and environmental performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to us before the effect of net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, the amortization of sales contracts, the accretion on asset retirement obligations and nonoperating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA may also be adjusted for items that may not reflect the trend of future results by excluding transactions that are not indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant in understanding and assessing our financial condition. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to net income (loss), income (loss) from operations, cash flows from operations or as a measure of our profitability, liquidity or performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Furthermore, analogous measures are used by industry analysts and investors to evaluate our operating performance. Investors should be aware that our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The following table shows results by operating segment for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021.

This table reflects numbers reported under a basis that differs from U.S. GAAP. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures” below for explanation and reconciliation of these amounts to the nearest GAAP measures. Other companies may calculate these per ton amounts differently, and our calculation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures.

Metallurgical — Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased from the three months ended March 31, 2021 due to increased coal sales per ton sold, partially offset by decreased tons sold and increased cash cost per ton sold. The improvement in coal sales per ton sold over the prior year period is due to significantly higher coking coal indices. Already elevated indices increased further due to the supply disruption from the Russian invasion of Ukraine discussed previously in the Overview. As expected, our volume of tons sold in the first quarter of 2022 was negatively impacted by rail service issues, including those related to increased COVID-19 case rates and general labor shortages experienced by our rail service provider, and the disruption at Curtis Bay. Cash cost per ton sold increased due to the reduced volume, increased taxes and royalties that are based on a percentage of coal sales per ton sold, and general inflationary pressure on most goods and services.

The ramp up of our Leer South longwall operation is nearly complete as we are currently approaching planned productivity levels. The addition of this second longwall operation to our Metallurgical Segment is expected to significantly increase our future volumes and strengthen our low average segment cost structure relative to our peers.

Table of Contents

Our Metallurgical Segment sold 1.5 million tons of coking coal and 0.1 million tons of associated thermal coal in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to 1.5 million tons of coking coal and 0.2 million tons of associated thermal coal in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Longwall operations accounted for approximately 74% of our shipment volume in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to approximately 58% of our shipment volume in the three months ended March 31, 2021, which was prior to the start up of our Leer South operation.

Thermal — Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased versus the three months ended March 31, 2021, due to increased tons sold and coal sales per ton sold, partially offset by increased cash cost per ton sold. The improvement in coal sales per ton sold and tons sold in the current year period is due to the significant quantity of high-priced domestic business we were able to contract during the second half of 2021, when the prices of domestic thermal coal increased to historically high levels due to high natural gas prices. Coal sales per ton sold in the current period also benefitted from historically high international thermal coal indices upon which most of our export thermal sales are priced. In the near term, elevated natural gas pricing continues to support domestic coal based electricity generation and international thermal coal indices. Cash cost per ton sold increased due to increased taxes and royalties that are based on a percentage of coal sales per ton sold, and general inflationary pressure on most goods and services, particularly diesel fuel, partially offset by the increased sales volume.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures

Segment coal sales per ton sold

Non-GAAP Segment coal sales per ton sold is calculated as segment coal sales revenues divided by segment tons sold. Segment coal sales revenues are adjusted for transportation costs, and may be adjusted for other items that, due to generally accepted accounting principles, are classified in “other income” on the statement of operations, but relate to price protection on the sale of coal. Segment coal sales per ton sold is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We believe segment coal sales per ton sold provides useful information to investors as it better reflects our revenue for the quality of coal sold and our operating results by including all income from coal sales. The adjustments made to arrive at these measures are significant in understanding and assessing our financial condition. Therefore, segment coal sales revenues should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to coal sales revenues under generally accepted accounting principles.

Segment cash cost per ton sold

Non-GAAP Segment cash cost per ton sold is calculated as segment cash cost of coal sales divided by segment tons sold. Segment cash cost of coal sales is adjusted for transportation costs, and may be adjusted for other items that, due to generally accepted accounting principles, are classified in “other income” on the statement of operations, but relate directly to the costs incurred to produce coal. Segment cash cost per ton sold is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We believe segment cash cost per ton sold better reflects our controllable costs and our operating results by including all costs incurred to produce coal. The adjustments made to arrive at these measures are significant in understanding and assessing our financial condition. Therefore, segment cash cost of coal sales should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to cost of sales under generally accepted accounting principles.

Reconciliation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (Loss)

The discussion in “Results of Operations” above includes references to our Adjusted EBITDA for each of our reportable segments. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to us before the effect of net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, the accretion on asset retirement obligations and nonoperating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA may also be adjusted for items that may not reflect the trend of future results by excluding transactions that are not indicative of our core operating performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of our segments and allocate resources to our segments. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant in understanding and assessing our financial condition. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to net income (loss), income (loss) from operations, cash flows from operations or as a measure of our profitability, liquidity or performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Investors should be aware that our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The table below shows how we calculate Adjusted EBITDA.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are proceeds from coal sales to customers and certain financing arrangements. Excluding significant investing activity, we intend to satisfy our working capital requirements and fund capital expenditures and debt-service obligations with cash generated from operations and cash on hand. We remain focused on prudently managing costs, including capital expenditures, maintaining a strong balance sheet, and ensuring adequate liquidity.

Given the volatile nature of coal markets, and the significant challenges and uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe it remains important to take a prudent approach to managing our balance sheet and liquidity. Additionally, banks and other lenders have become increasingly unwilling to provide financing to coal producers, especially those with significant thermal coal exposure. Due to the nature of our business, we may be limited in accessing debt capital markets or obtaining additional bank financing, or the cost of accessing this financing could become more expensive.

In light of the reduced capital requirements and current favorable pricing environment, we generated significant cash flows in the first quarter of 2022 and expect cash flows to remain very strong for the remainder of 2022. During the quarter, capital expenditures were approximately $22.3 million, and we expect our capital spending to remain at maintenance levels for the foreseeable future. As evidenced throughout the quarter, our priority is to improve our financial position through enhancing liquidity and reducing our debt and other liabilities, while returning significant value to our stockholders. We plan to maintain a net debt neutral level on our balance sheet as we achieved during the current quarter. During the first quarter of 2022, we repaid $271.5 million of our Term Loans and contributed an additional $20.0 million into our thermal ARO fund to pay for future ARO costs at our legacy thermal operations. During the remainder of 2022, we plan to make additional contributions to the thermal ARO fund and expect total contributions for the remainder of the year to be at least $90 million, if market conditions remain favorable. We ended the first quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $318.7 million and total liquidity of $386.0 million. We believe our current liquidity level is sufficient to fund our business and meet both our short-term (the next twelve months) and reasonably foreseeable long-term requirements and obligations. As we expect our liquidity to grow in the near term, we have implemented our variable rate dividend policy in a manner that will target liquidity levels of at least $350 million.

We believe we have significantly increased our future cash-generating capabilities, and as a result, in the second quarter of 2022, we launched an adjusted and more comprehensive capital return program. We will be returning to stockholders approximately 50% of the prior quarter’s discretionary cash flow via a variable rate quarterly cash dividend that will complement our existing fixed rate cash dividend of $0.25 per share. The remaining 50% of our discretionary cash flow will be reserved for potential share buybacks, special dividends, the repurchase of potentially dilutive securities, and capital preservation. Any future dividends and all of these potential uses of capital are subject to board approval and declaration. Any shares acquired would be in the open market or through private transactions in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission requirements.

The combined fixed and variable dividend payment of $8.11 per share will be made to stockholders of record as of May 31, 2022, payable on June 15, 2022.

The table below summarizes our first quarter discretionary cash flow and total dividend payout:

Table of Contents

During the first quarter of 2022, we repaid $271.5 million of our Term Loans. The remaining balance of $8.8 million was left as certain terms and conditions governing the Term Loans are incorporated into our outstanding indebtedness. We will continue to make quarterly principal amortization payments in an amount equal to $750,000. The Term Loan Debt Facility will mature on March 7, 2024. For further information regarding the Term Loan Debt Facility, see Note 8, “Debt and Financing Arrangements” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We have a trade accounts receivable securitization facility provided to Arch Receivable Company, LLC, a special-purpose entity that is a wholly owned subsidiary of Arch Resources (“Arch Receivable”) (the “Securitization Facility”), which supports the issuance of letters of credit and requests for cash advances. The size of the facility is $110 million and the facility has a maturity date of September 29, 2023. For further information regarding the Securitization Facility see Note 8, “Debt and Financing Arrangements” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We have a $50 million senior secured inventory-based revolving credit facility (the “Inventory Facility”) with Regions Bank (“Regions”) as administrative agent and collateral agent, as lender and swingline lender (in such capacities, the “Lender”) and as letter of credit issuer in an aggregate principal amount. The facility has a minimum liquidity requirement of $100 million and a maturity date of September 29, 2023. For further information regarding the Inventory Facility, see Note 8, “Debt and Financing Arrangements” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The table below summarizes our availability under our credit facilities as of March 31, 2022:


					Letters of
			Borrowing		Credit				Contractual
	Face Amount		Base		Outstanding		Availability		Expiration
	(Dollars in thousands)
Securitization Facility	$	110,000	$	110,000	$	67,623	$	42,377		September 29, 2023
Inventory Facility		50,000		50,000		27,712		22,288		September 29, 2023
Total	$	160,000	$	160,000	$	95,335	$	64,665

The above standby letters of credit outstanding have primarily been issued to satisfy certain insurance-related collateral requirements. The amount of collateral required by counterparties is based on their assessment of our ability to satisfy our obligations and may change at the time of policy renewal or based on a change in their assessment. Future increases in the amount of collateral required by counterparties would reduce our available liquidity.

We have outstanding an aggregate of $98.1 million of Tax Exempt Bonds issued by the West Virginia Economic Development Authority. The proceeds of the Tax Exempt Bonds were used to finance certain costs of the acquisition, construction, reconstruction, and equipping of solid waste disposal facilities at our Leer South development, and for capitalized interest and certain costs related to the issuance of the Tax Exempt Bonds. As of March 31, 2022, we have utilized all of the Tax Exempt Bond proceeds. For further information regarding the Tax Exempt Bonds, see Note 8, “Debt and Financing Arrangements” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We issued $155.3 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.25% convertible senior notes due 2025 (“Convertible Notes” or “Convertible Debt”) in 2020. The Convertible Notes bear interest at the annual rate of 5.25%, payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, and will mature on November 15, 2025, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased by us. During the first quarter of 2022, the common stock price condition of the Convertible Notes was satisfied, as the closing stock price exceeded 130% of the conversion price of approximately $37.126 for at least 20 trading days of the last 30 trading days prior to quarter end. As a result, the Convertible Notes are convertible at the election of the noteholders during the second quarter. We adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022, and as a result, the entire $155.3 million of the Convertible Notes is included in current maturities of debt on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2022. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not received any conversion requests for the Convertible Notes and do not anticipate receiving any conversion requests as the market value of the Convertible Notes exceeds the conversion value of the Convertible Notes. As of March 31, 2022, the if-converted value of the Convertible Notes exceeded the principal amount by $419.2 million. For further information regarding the Convertible Notes, see Note 8, “Debt and Financing Arrangements” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations include long-term debt and related interest, leases, coal lease rights, coal purchase obligations, and unconditional purchase obligations. As discussed above, during the first quarter of 2022, we repaid $271.5 million of our Term Loans which has reduced our long-term debt. There have been no other material changes to our contractual obligations from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. For further information regarding the Term Loan Debt Facility, see Note 8, “Debt and Financing Arrangements” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, we are a party to certain off-balance sheet arrangements. These arrangements include guarantees, indemnifications, financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, such as bank letters of credit and performance or surety bonds. Liabilities related to these arrangements are not reflected in our consolidated balance sheets, and we do not expect any material adverse effects on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows to result from these off-balance sheet arrangements. We use a combination of surety bonds and letters of credit to secure our financial obligations for reclamation, workers’ compensation, coal lease obligations and other obligations. There have been no material changes to our off-balance sheet arrangements from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. For further information regarding off-balance sheet arrangements, see Note 14, “Commitments and Contingencies” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cash Flow

The following is a summary of cash provided by or used in each of the indicated types of activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022		2021
(In thousands)
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	292,939	$	5,686
Investing activities		(9,566)		(42,765)
Financing activities		(289,843)		32,189

Cash provided by operating activities increased in the three months ended March 31, 2022 versus the three months ended March 31, 2021 mainly due to the improvement in results from operations discussed in the “Overview” and “Operational Performance” sections above, partially offset by the additional funding to the thermal ARO fund of approximately $20 million in first quarter of 2022.

Cash used in investing activities decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2022 versus the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to the decreased capital expenditures of approximately $54 million resulting from the completion of the Leer South development in 2021, partially offset by a net decrease in proceeds from sale of short-term investments of approximately $21 million.

Cash was used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to the repayment of the Term Loans of approximately $272 million in the first quarter of 2022, the proceeds from the 2021 Tax Exempt Bonds of approximately $45 million in the first quarter of 2021, and a dividend payment of approximately $4 million paid in the first quarter of 2022.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that

Table of Contents

affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We manage our commodity price risk for our non-trading, thermal coal sales through the use of long-term coal supply agreements, and to a limited extent, through the use of derivative instruments. Sales commitments in the metallurgical coal market are typically not long term in nature, and we are therefore subject to fluctuations in market pricing.

Our sales commitments for 2022 were as follows as of March 31, 2022:


	2022
	Tons	$per ton
Metallurgical	(in millions)
Committed, North America Priced Coking	0.7	$	214.77
Committed, North America Unpriced Coking	0.2
Committed, Seaborne Priced Coking	1.7		266.26
Committed, Seaborne Unpriced Coking	3.2

Committed, Priced Thermal	0.4		27.14
Committed, Unpriced Thermal	—

Thermal
Committed, Priced	77.9	$	17.96
Committed, Unpriced	2.5

We are exposed to fluctuations in the fair value of coal derivatives that we enter into to manage the price risk related to future coal sales, but for which we do not elect hedge accounting. Gains or losses on these derivative instruments would be largely offset in the pricing of the physical coal sale. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, Value at Risk “VaR” for our risk management positions that are recorded at fair value through earnings ranged from $1.6 million to $19.5 million. The linear mean of each daily VaR was $6.0 million. The final VaR at March 31, 2022 was $8.6 million.

We monitor and manage market price risk for our hedging activities with a variety of tools, including VaR, position limits, management alerts for mark to market monitoring and loss limits, scenario analysis, sensitivity analysis and review of daily changes in market dynamics. Management believes that presenting high, low, end of year and average VaR is the best available method to give investors insight into the level of commodity risk of our risk management positions. Illiquid positions, such as long-dated trades that are not quoted by brokers or exchanges, are not included in VaR.

VaR is a statistical one-tail confidence interval and down side risk estimate that relies on recent history to estimate how the value of the portfolio of positions will change if markets behave in the same way as they have in the recent past. The level of confidence is 95%. The time across which these possible value changes are being estimated is through the end of the next business day. A closed-form delta-neutral method used throughout the finance and energy sectors is employed to calculate this VaR. VaR is back tested to verify its usefulness.

We are exposed to price risk with respect to diesel fuel purchased for use in our operations. We anticipate purchasing approximately 40 to 45 million gallons of diesel fuel for use in our operations annually. To protect our cash flows from increases in the price of diesel fuel for our operations, we use forward physical diesel purchase contracts, purchased heating oil call options and New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) gulf coast diesel swaps and options. At March 31, 2022, the Company had protected the price of expected diesel fuel purchases for 2022 with approximately 12 million gallons of heating oil call options with an average strike price of $2.61 per gallon. These positions are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, and therefore, changes in the fair value are recorded immediately to earnings.

Table of Contents

We have exposure to price risk for supplies that are used directly or indirectly in the normal course of production, such as diesel fuel, steel, explosives and other items. We manage our risk for these items through strategic sourcing contracts in normal quantities with our suppliers. We may sell or purchase forward contracts, swaps and options in the over-the-counter market in order to manage its exposure to price risk related to these items.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

We performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, including employee injury claims. After conferring with counsel, it is the opinion of management that the ultimate resolution of these claims, to the extent not previously provided for, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the “Risk Factors” disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 except for the following additional risk factor:

We may not be able to pay dividends or repurchase shares of our common stock in accordance with our announced intent or at all.

The Board of Directors’ determinations regarding fixed or variable dividends and share repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including our net income, cash flow generated from operations or other sources, liquidity position and potential alternative uses of cash, such as acquisitions and organic growth opportunities, as well as economic conditions and expected future financial results.

Our ability to declare future dividends and make future share repurchases will depend on our future financial performance, which in turn depends on the successful implementation of our strategy and on financial, competitive, regulatory, technical and other factors, general economic conditions, demand and selling prices for our products and other factors specific to our industry, many of which are beyond our control. Therefore, our ability to generate cash depends on the performance of our operations and could be limited by decreases in our profitability or increases in costs, regulatory changes, capital expenditures or debt servicing requirements.

The frequency and amount of dividends, if any, may vary significantly from amounts paid in previous periods. The Company can provide no assurance that it will continue to pay fixed or variable dividends or repurchase shares. Any failure to pay dividends or repurchase shares of our common stock could negatively impact our reputation, lessen investor confidence in us, and cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On April 17, 2019, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $300 million to the share repurchase program, bringing the total authorization since the program’s launch to $1.05 billion. The timing of any future share purchases, and the ultimate number of shares to be purchased, will depend on a number of factors, including business and market

Table of Contents

conditions, our future financial performance, and other capital priorities. The shares will be acquired in the open market or through private transactions in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission requirements. The share repurchase program has no termination date, but may be amended, suspended or discontinued at any time and does not commit us to repurchase shares of our common stock. The actual number and value of the shares to be purchased will depend on the performance of our stock price and other market conditions. We did not purchase any shares of our common stock under this program for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

As of March 31, 2022, we had approximately $223 million remaining authorized for stock repurchases under this program.

Item 4.Mine Safety Disclosures

The statement concerning mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K is included in Exhibit 95 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022.
