NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.Description of Business, Basis of Presentation

(a)Description of the Business

Coronado Global Resources Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Coronado”) is a global producer, marketer, and exporter of a full range of metallurgical coals, an essential element in the production of steel. The Company has a portfolio of operating mines and development projects in Queensland, Australia and in the states of Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia in the USA.

 

(b)Basis of Presentation

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or U.S. GAAP, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X related to interim financial reporting issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s registration statement on Form 10, as amended, filed with the SEC and the Australian Securities Exchange, or the ASX, on June 28, 2019.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, Coronado Group LLC and Coronado Global Resources Inc. completed a common control reorganization, or the Reorganization Transaction, of their legal entity structure. Prior to the Reorganization Transaction in August 2018, Coronado Group HoldCo LLC, the holding company of our operations in Australia, or the Australian Operations, was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coronado Group LLC. In connection with the Reorganization Transaction, (i) Coronado Group HoldCo LLC was converted into Coronado Global Resources Inc. in August 2018 and (ii) Coronado Group LLC contributed all of the equity ownership in our operations in the United States, or the U.S. Operations, to Coronado Coal Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coronado Global Resources Inc. Immediately following the Reorganization Transaction, Coronado Global Resources Inc. remained a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coronado Group LLC, which is currently owned by The Energy & Minerals Group, or EMG Group, and certain members of our management.

The Reorganization Transaction was treated as a combination of entities under common control in line with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 805, Business Combinations, whereby the receiving entity (the Company) recorded the contributed assets and liabilities at the carrying value of Coronado Group LLC. Prior to the Reorganization Transaction, the consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect the net assets and operations of Coronado Group LLC. The financial statements presented following the Reorganization Transaction are those of the receiving entity (the Company) and are retrospectively adjusted to present that entity as if it always held the net assets or equity interests previously held by the seller, Coronado Group LLC. As such, financial information (including comparatives) of the Company has been presented as a continuation of the pre-existing accounting values of assets and liabilities in Coronado Group LLC’s financial statements.

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated. They include the accounts of Coronado Global Resources Inc. and its affiliates. References to “US$” or “USD” are references to U.S. dollars. References to “A$” or “AUD” are references to Australian dollars, the lawful currency of the Commonwealth of Australia. The Company, or Coronado, are used interchangeably to refer to Coronado Global Resources Inc. and its subsidiaries, or to Coronado Group LLC, as appropriate to the context. Interests in subsidiaries controlled by the Company are consolidated with any outside stockholder interests reflected as noncontrolling interests. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements reflect all normal, recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for the periods presented. Balance sheet information presented herein as of December 31, 2018 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheet at that date. The Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Please see Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in Coronado Global Resources Inc.’s registration statement on Form 10, as amended, filed with the SEC and ASX on June 28, 2019.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(a)Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

Leases. In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842; ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases; and ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use, or ROU, model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement.

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 using the modified retrospective transition approach and elected the package of practical expedients that allows it to forgo reassessment of lease classification for leases that have already commenced. The Company also elected the practical expedients to the new standard without restating comparative prior period financial information, to not recognize ROU assets and liabilities for operating leases with shorter than 12-month terms and to include both lease and non-lease components with lease payments.

In addition to existing finance leases and other financing obligations, the adoption of the new standard, on January 1, 2019, resulted in the recognition of ROU assets of $66.8 million and lease liabilities of $81.1 million related to operating leases. On adoption, the lease liability included reclassification of a terminal services contract liability of $14.3 million, which is classified as a lease under the newly adopted standard. There was no material impact to the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, or the Company’s debt covenant calculations as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-02.

ASU No. 2016-02 also requires entities to disclose certain qualitative and quantitative information regarding the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Such disclosures are included in Note 10 “Leases”.

(b) Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. The pronouncement replaces the incurred loss methodology to record credit losses with a methodology that reflects the expected credit losses for financial assets not accounted for at fair value with gains and losses recognized through net income. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 (January 1, 2020 for the Company) and interim periods therein. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2016-13 as of January 1, 2020 and is in the process of evaluating the impacts of adoption.

Fair Value Measurement. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, which amended the fair value measurement guidance by removing and modifying certain disclosure requirements, while also adding new disclosure requirements. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The amendments are effective for all companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company plans to adopt all disclosure requirements effective January 1, 2020.

(c)Reclassification

Certain amounts in the prior period Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. These related to the reclassification of capital lease liabilities included within “other financial liabilities and capital leases” and “other financial liabilities, excluding current instalments” as at December 31, 2018 to “Lease liabilities” current and non-current, respectively. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net income.

3.Acquisition of Curragh Complex

On December 22, 2017, a Membership Interest and Asset Purchase Agreement, or the Agreement, was entered by Coronado Australia Holdings Pty Ltd and Coronado Group LLC in order to acquire Wesfarmers Curragh Pty Ltd from Wesfarmers Limited (since renamed Coronado Curragh Pty Ltd), which we refer to as the Curragh acquisition. The Agreement was executed on March 29, 2018.

The aggregate base purchase price for the Membership Interest in Curragh was A$700 million and was subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. The Company acquired 100% of the Membership Interest. The operating results related to the Curragh acquisition have been included in the consolidated financial statements since March 29, 2018.

Coronado Global Resources, Inc. Form 10-Q September 30, 20198


Table of Contents

 

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The aggregate consideration on the date of the Curragh acquisition totaled $563.8 million.

Contingent consideration recognized on the date of the Curragh acquisition, specifically the Value Share Mechanism, or VSM, of $26.6 million associated with the Curragh acquisition represents the fair value of a two-year, 25% royalty on sales from metallurgical coal mined at Curragh. The royalty only applies to the realized price on metallurgical coal sales above $145 per metric ton. The VSM liability is marked-to-market at each reporting date, with any fluctuations included as an operating expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The payout structure of the royalty can be replicated through a probability weighted discounted cash flow approach using a Monte Carlo simulation over a 24-month period from acquisition date. As such, the Company developed a fair value of the royalty using a Monte Carlo simulation.

In connection with the acquisition, Coronado Australia Holdings Pty Ltd incurred acquisition related costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 of $53.8 million, $38.5 million of which is recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses. The remainder, relating to foreign currency swap losses, is recorded in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income under “Other, net”.

The Curragh acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The following table summarizes total consideration transferred and the allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities:

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The pro forma results for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 exclude non-recurring adjustments of $53.8 million of transaction costs.

4.Segment Information

The Company has a portfolio of operating mines and development projects in Queensland, Australia and in the states of Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia in the USA. The Company operates its business along four reportable segments: Curragh, Buchanan, Logan and Greenbrier. These segments are grouped based on geography. Factors affecting and differentiating the financial performance of each of these four reportable segments generally include coal quality, geology, and coal marketing opportunities, mining and transportation methods and regulatory issues. The Company believes this method of segment reporting reflects both the way its business segments are currently managed and the way the performance of each segment is evaluated. The four segments consist of similar operating activities as each segment produces similar products.

The organization of the four reportable segments reflects how Coronado’s chief operating decision maker, or CODM, manages and allocates resources to the various components. The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA as the primary metric to measure each segment’s operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, depletion and amortization, other foreign exchange losses and loss on debt extinguishment. “Other and corporate” relates to additional financial information for the corporate function such as accounting, treasury, legal, human resources, compliance, and tax. As such, the corporate function is not determined to be a reportable segment but is discretely disclosed for purposes of reconciliation to the Company’s consolidated financials.

Reportable segment results as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are presented below:

10.Leases

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842, Leases. Changes to the Company’s accounting policy as a result of adoption are discussed below.

From time to time, the Company enters into mining services contracts which may include embedded leases of mining equipment and other contractual agreements to lease mining equipment and facilities. Based upon the Company’s assessment of the terms of a specific lease agreement, the Company classifies a lease as either finance or operating.

(a)Finance Leases

ROU assets related to finance leases are presented in Property, plant and equipment, net on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Lease liabilities related to finance leases are presented in “Lease Liabilities” (current) and “Lease Liabilities” (non-current) on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Finance lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. The discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments is the rate implicit in the lease unless that rate cannot be readily determined, in which case, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of the future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.

(b)Operating Leases

ROU assets related to operating leases are presented as Right of Use assets – operating leases, net on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Lease liabilities related to operating leases that are subject to the ASC 842 measurement requirements such as operating leases with lease terms greater than twelve months are presented in “Lease Liabilities” (current) and “Lease Liabilities” (non-current) on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. The discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments is the rate implicit in the lease unless that rate cannot be readily determined, in which case, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of the future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Operating lease ROU assets may also include any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent when the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term. The ROU assets and lease liabilities may also include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The ROU asset includes any lease payments made and lease incentives received prior to the commencement date. The Company has lease arrangements with lease and non-lease components which are accounted for separately. Non-lease components of the lease payments are expensed as incurred and are not included in determining the present value. As at September 30, 2019 the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet included $44.7 million of operating lease liabilities relating to equipment embedded within mining service contracts.

11.Income Taxes

Prior to August 13, 2018, the Company and its related entities were treated as partnerships for US income tax purposes and therefore provided no income taxes within the financial statements. On August 13, 2018, the Company converted to a c-corporation and began to provide US income taxes on the earnings of the Curragh operations. The Company’s foreign structure consists of Australian entities which are treated as corporations subject to tax under Australian tax authorities. The Curragh entities are treated as a branch for US tax purposes and income flows through to the Company. On September 19, 2018, the legacy US businesses were contributed to the Company and became taxable under the ownership of the Company at that time. The effect of the above restructures was to recognize net deferred tax balances of $40.5 million through income tax expense during the quarter ended September 30, 2018.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company estimated its annual effective tax rate and applied this effective tax rate to its year-to-date pretax income at the end of the interim reporting period. The tax effect of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including effects of changes in tax laws or rates and changes in judgment about the realizability of deferred tax assets, are reported in the interim period in which they occur. The Company’s 2019 estimated annual effective tax rate, including discrete items, is 29.7%. The Company had income tax expense of $30.6 million and $119.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 respectively.

Income tax expense of $56.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and $62.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, related to the Company’s Australian Operations and was calculated based on effective tax rate of 15.1% for the period, and the initial recognition of the deferred tax balances of $40.5 million relating to the reorganization noted above.

12.Interest Bearing Liabilities

The Company had a Multicurrency Revolving Syndicated Facility Agreement, or SFA, dated September 15, 2018, comprising of Facility A ($350 million loan facility) and Facility B (A$370 million bank guarantee facility).

On September 11, 2019, the Company executed an amendment to the SFA, with the key amendments as follows:

Facility C – an additional multicurrency loan facility with a limit of $200 million. All other terms match those of Facility A.

Facility B – amended to a multicurrency bank guarantee facility without altering its limit of A$370 million.

Termination date – the termination date of the SFA was extended by 12 months to February 15, 2023.

The SFA is a revolving credit facility under which the Company may borrow funds from Facility A and/or Facility C for a period of one, two, three or six months, each referred to as a Term. The interest rate is set at the commencement of each Term. At the end of each Term, the Company may elect to repay the loan or extend any loan amount outstanding for a further period of one, two, three or six months. The Term of the loan cannot extend beyond the Termination Date of the SFA.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 the Company borrowed a total amount of $414.0 million under the SFA to partially fund distributions to shareholders in the period of $696.0 million, and for other working capital purposes.

Coronado Global Resources, Inc. Form 10-Q September 30, 201916


Table of Contents

 

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The total interest bearing liabilities outstanding under the SFA as at September 30, 2019, was $310.0 million. There were no amounts outstanding under the SFA as at December 31, 2018.

14.Deferred Consideration Liability

On August 14, 2018 the Company completed the purchase of the Stanwell Reserved Area, or the SRA, adjacent to the current Curragh mining tenements. This area was acquired on a deferred consideration basis and on acquisition the Company recognized a “Right-to-mine-asset” and a corresponding deferred consideration liability of $155.2 million, calculated using a pre-tax discount rate of 13% representing fair value of the arrangements and the date of acquisition. The deferred consideration liability will reflect passage of time changes by way of an annual accretion at the pre-tax discount rate of 13% while the liability will decrease as domestic coal is supplied to Stanwell from the SRA. The accretion of deferred consideration is recognized in “Interest expense, net” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

15.Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company for the period, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the same period. Diluted earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. There were no traded shares of common stock outstanding prior to October 23, 2018, therefore no earnings per share information has been presented for any period prior to that date.

16.Derivatives and Fair Value Measurement

(a)Derivatives

The Company may use derivative financial instruments to manage its financial risks in the normal course of operations, including foreign currency risks, commodity price risk related to purchase of raw materials (such as gas or diesel) and interest rate risk. Derivatives are exclusively used for cashflow hedge purposes and hedging for speculative purposes is strictly prohibited under the Treasury Risk Management Policy approved by the Board of Directors.

The financing counterparties to the derivative contracts potentially expose the Company to credit-related risk. Credit risk is the risk that a third party might fail to fulfill its performance obligations under the terms of the financial instrument. The Company mitigates credit risk by entering into derivative contracts with high credit quality counterparties, limiting the amount of exposure to each counterparty and frequently monitoring their financial condition.

Forward fuel contracts

In 2018, the Company entered into forward derivative contracts to hedge its exposure to diesel fuel for the diesel fuel that is used, or expects to use, in the operations at Curragh in 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company entered into additional derivative contracts in relation to expected consumption of diesel fuel in the operations at Curragh in 2020. The aggregate notional amount for all outstanding derivative contracts were $70.9 million at September 30, 2019, and $44.6 million at December 31, 2018.

The unrealized loss of $0.2 million, net of tax, recognized in “Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss)” as at September 30, 2019, is expected to be recognized into “Cost of coal revenues” in the Unaudited Condensed Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income within the next 15 months.

Forward foreign currency contracts

The Company’s Australian operations utilizes the cash it generates from its US$ denominated coal sales revenue to fund its operating costs, which are predominantly in A$. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company entered into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge its foreign exchange exposure on a portion of the US$ denominated coal sales revenue at Curragh, whose functional currency is A$.

The aggregated notional amount of the outstanding derivative contracts as at September 30, 2019 was $166.5 million. The unrealized loss of $1.3 million, net of tax, recognized in “Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss)” at

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

September 30, 2019, is expected to be recognized into “Coal revenues” in the Unaudited Condensed Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income within the next 12 months.

Given the forward fuel and forward foreign currency contracts were designated as cash flow hedges, any unrealized gain and losses on these derivatives are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss)” and are reclassified into “Cost of coal revenues” and “Coal revenues”, respectively, in the Unaudited Condensed Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income in the period in which the hedged transaction impacts income. Refer to Note 17 “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” for further disclosure.

Other derivatives

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 the Company entered into a foreign exchange swap contract to hedge against the exposure fluctuations in the Australian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar on the purchase price of Curragh between the Agreement date and the completion date. The Company elected not to formally designate the swaps as cash flow hedges. As such, the Company accounted for the foreign exchange swaps as an economic hedge and recorded at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Pursuant with ASC 815, the foreign exchange swaps were initially recorded at fair value and all subsequent changes were recorded to “Other, net” (see Note 5 – “Other, net”) within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(b)Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that will be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair values of financial instruments involve uncertainty and cannot be determined with precision.

The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

Coronado Global Resources, Inc. Form 10-Q September 30, 201919


Table of Contents

 

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.

Financial Instruments Measured on a Recurring Basis

As of September 30, 2019, the Company has the following liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Forward commodity contracts: valued based on a valuation that is corroborated by the use of market-based pricing (Level 2)

Foreign currency forward contracts: valued based on a valuation that is corroborated by the use of market-based pricing (Level 2)

Contingent royalty: fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula (Level 3)

VSM: fair value is determined using the projected cash flow analysis (Level 3)

(b)Other commitments

As of September 30, 2019, purchase commitments for capital expenditures were $37.2 million, all of which is obligated within the next 12 months.

The Company has entered into fixed price contracts to purchase fuel for the U.S. operations. As of September 30, 2019, the commitment for fuel purchases were $2.8 million, all of which is obligated within the three months to December 31, 2019.

In Australia, the Company has generally secured the ability to transport coal through rail contracts and coal export terminal contracts that are primarily funded through take-or-pay arrangements with terms ranging up to 11 years. In the U.S., the Company typically negotiates its rail and coal terminal on an annual basis. As of September 30, 2019, these Australian and U.S. commitments under take-or-pay arrangements totaled $1.0 billion, of which approximately $87.8 million is obligated within the next year.

19.Related‑Party Transactions

X-Coal

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 the Company sold coal to Xcoal Energy and Resources, or Xcoal, an entity associated with Non-Executive director, Mr. Ernie Thrasher. Revenues from Xcoal of $103.6 million and $122.0 million, respectively, are recorded as coal revenues on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Revenues from Xcoal of $396.8 million and $335.0 million, respectively, are recorded as coal revenues on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. At September 30, 2019 amounts due from Xcoal in respect of coal sales were $55.2 million. As of December 31, 2018, amounts due from Xcoal in respect of coal sales were $36.0 million. These balances are included in related party receivables.

20.Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to certain guarantees and financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, such as letters of credit and performance or surety bonds. No liabilities related to these arrangements are reflected in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Management does not expect any material losses to result from these guarantees or off-balance sheet financial instruments.

Facility B of the SFA provides A$370 million for issuing multicurrency bank guarantees. At September 30, 2019, Facility B of the SFA had been utilized to issue A$268.1 million of bank guarantees on behalf of the Company.

Curragh is a co-appellant to proceedings in the Queensland Supreme Court brought by Aurizon. Aurizon’s claim relates to costs relating to the co-defendants’ use of the Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal Pty Ltd, or WICET, rail links, in particular, whether the “First Milestone Target Date”, which triggers certain “WIRP Fee” payments under the Wiggins Island Rail Project Deed, or WIRP Deed, has been achieved. On June 27, 2019, the Queensland Supreme Court delivered judgements in favor of Aurizon against Coronado Curragh Pty Ltd and the other co-defendants. The Company intends to continue to strongly contest the matter. The Company, together with the other co-defendants, lodged a notice of appeal of the Queensland Supreme Court judgement on July 25, 2019. It is currently expected that, were Aurizon successful in the ultimate result of the litigation and expert determinations, Coronado Curragh Pty Ltd would be required to pay approximately A$2.3 million per annum for the term of the WIRP Deed (which is 233 months). Resolution of this dispute would also result in the Company’s below rail access to WICET (of 1.5 MMtpa) becoming a firm contractual capacity entitlement (and the subject of a 20 year take-or-pay access agreement) instead of an ad hoc entitlement only. The Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet includes an estimated loss contingency associated with these proceedings of approximately $4.6 million and $3.5 million as at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

From time to time, the Company becomes a party to other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business in Australia, the U.S. and other countries where the Company does business. Based on current information, the Company believes that such other pending or threatened proceedings are likely to be resolved without a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The liabilities recorded in relation to the above litigations do not include estimated future costs associated with legal representation, which, in accordance with the Company’s policy, are expensed as incurred. In management’s opinion, the Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings, which individually or in the aggregate could have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations and/or liquidity of the Company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Coronado Global Resources Inc.:

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Coronado Global Resources Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of September 30, 2019, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the related condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity/members’ capital and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated interim financial information). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity/members’ capital, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 18, 2019, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of consolidated interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of our Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A, should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. In addition, this Form 10-Q report should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements for year ended December 31, 2018 included in Coronado Global Resources Inc.’s registration statement on Form 10, as amended, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and the Australian Securities Exchange, or the ASX, on June 28, 2019.

Unless otherwise noted, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we,” “us,” “our,” “Company,” or “Coronado” refer to Coronado Global Resources Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and associates, unless the context indicates otherwise.

All production and sales volumes contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are expressed in metric tons, or Mt, millions of metric tons, or MMt, or millions of metric tons per annum, or MMtpa, except where otherwise stated. One Mt (1,000 kilograms) is equal to 2,204.62 pounds and is equivalent to 1.10231 short tons. In addition, all dollar amounts contained herein are expressed in United States dollars, or US$, except where otherwise stated. References to “A$” are references to Australian dollars, the lawful currency of the Commonwealth of Australia. Some numerical figures included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, numerical figures shown as totals in certain tables may not equal the sum of the figures that precede them.

CAUTIONARY NOTICE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, concerning our business, operations, financial performance and condition, the coal, steel and other industries, as well as our plans, objectives and expectations for our business, operations, financial performance and condition. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “may,” “could,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “considers” and other similar words.

Any forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual results, performance, events or outcomes to differ materially from the results, performance, events or outcomes expressed or anticipated in these statements, many of which are beyond our control. Such forward-looking statements are based on an assessment of present economic and operating conditions on a number of best estimate assumptions regarding future events and actions. These factors are difficult to accurately predict and may be beyond our control. Factors that could affect our results or an investment in our securities include, but are not limited to:

the prices we receive for our coal;

the demand for steel products, which impacts the demand for our metallurgical, or Met, coals;

risks inherent to mining;

the loss of, or significant reduction in, purchases by our largest customers;

our ability to collect payments from our customers depending on their creditworthiness, contractual performance or otherwise;

our ability to continue acquiring and developing coal reserves that are economically recoverable;

uncertainties in estimating our economically recoverable coal reserves;

transportation for our coal becoming unavailable or uneconomic for our customers;

the risk that we may be required to pay for unused capacity pursuant to the terms of our take-or-pay arrangements with rail and port operators;

our ability to retain key personnel and attract qualified personnel;

any failure to maintain satisfactory labor relations;

our ability to obtain, renew or maintain permits and consents necessary for our operations;

potential costs or liability under applicable environmental laws and regulations, including with respect to any exposure to hazardous substances caused by our operations, as well as any environmental contamination our properties may have or our operations may cause;

extensive regulation of our mining operations and future regulations and developments;

our ability to provide appropriate financial assurances for our obligations under applicable laws and regulations;

assumptions underlying our asset retirement obligations for reclamation and mine closures;

concerns about the environmental impacts of coal combustion, including perceived impacts on global climate issues, which could result in increased regulation of coal combustion in many jurisdictions and divestment efforts affecting the investment community;

the extensive forms of taxation that our mining operations are subject to, and future tax regulations and developments;

risks unique to international mining and trading operations;

any cyber-attacks or other security breaches that disrupt our operations or result in the dissemination of proprietary or confidential information about us, our customers or other third parties;

a decrease in the availability or increase in costs of key supplies, capital equipment or commodities, such as diesel fuel, steel, explosives and tires;

unfavorable economic and financial market conditions;

the risk that we may not recover our investments in our mining, exploration and other assets, which may require us to recognize impairment charges related to those assets;

risks related to divestitures and acquisitions;

our indebtedness and ability to comply with the covenants under the agreements governing such indebtedness;

our ability to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness or other obligations;

the risk that diversity in interpretation and application of accounting principles in the mining industry may impact our reported financial results; and

other risks and uncertainties detailed in this report, including, but not limited to, those discussed in “Risk Factors,” set forth in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We make many of our forward-looking statements based on our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results.

See Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our registration statement on Form 10, as amended, filed with the SEC and ASX on June 28, 2019, for a more complete discussion of the risks and uncertainties mentioned above and for discussion of other risks and uncertainties we face that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a global producer, marketer and exporter of a full range of Met coals. We own a portfolio of operating mines and development projects in Queensland, Australia and in Virginia, West Virginia and Pennsylvania in the United States.

Coronado Global Resources, Inc. Form 10-Q September 30, 201927

Our operations in Australia, or our Australian Operations, comprise the 100%-owned Curragh producing mine complex. Our operations in the United States, or the U.S. Operations, comprise three 100%-owned producing mine complexes (Buchanan, Logan and Greenbrier), two development properties (Pangburn-Shaner-Fallowfield and Russell County) and one idle property (Amonate). In addition to Met coal, our Australian Operations sell thermal coal, which is used to generate electricity, to Stanwell Corporation Limited, or Stanwell. Our U.S. Operations also produce and sell some thermal coal that is extracted in the process of mining Met coal.

Our business profile primarily focuses on the production of Met coal for the North American and seaborne export markets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we produced 15.7 MMt and sold 15.3 MMt of coal. Met coal and thermal coal sales represented approximately 80.0% and 20.0%, respectively, of our total volume of coal sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 280, Segment Reporting, we have adopted the following reporting segments: Curragh; Buchanan; Logan; and Greenbrier. In addition, “Corporate and other” is not a reporting segment but is disclosed for the purposes of reconciliation to our consolidated financial statements.

Factors Affecting Comparability of our Financial Statements

Due to several factors, our historical results of operations are not comparable from period to period and may not be comparable to our financial results of operations in future periods. Set forth below is a brief description of the key factors impacting the comparability of our results of operations.

Curragh Acquisition

On March 29, 2018, we acquired Curragh from Wesfarmers Ltd, or Wesfarmers, for aggregate consideration, on the date of the transaction, of $563.8 million. We refer to this transaction as the Curragh acquisition. The operating results of Curragh have been included in our consolidated financial statements since March 29, 2018.

Corporate Reorganization Transaction

During the year ended December 31, 2018, Coronado Group LLC and Coronado Global Resources Inc. completed a common control reorganization of their legal entity structure, which we refer to as the Reorganization Transaction. Prior to the Reorganization Transaction in August 2018, Coronado Group HoldCo LLC, the holding company of our Australian Operations, was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coronado Group LLC.

The Company is a corporation for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. The Company’s accounting predecessor, Coronado Group LLC, was and is treated as a flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes and as such, has generally not been subject to U.S. federal income tax at the entity level.

The Reorganization Transaction was treated as a combination of entities under common control in line with ASC 805, Business Combinations, whereby the receiving entity (the Company) recorded the contributed assets and liabilities at the carrying value of Coronado Group LLC. Prior to the Reorganization Transaction, the consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect the net assets and operations of Coronado Group LLC. The financial statements presented following the Reorganization Transaction are those of the receiving entity (the Company) and are retrospectively adjusted to present that entity as if it always held the net assets or equity interests previously held by the seller, Coronado Group LLC. As such, financial information (including comparatives) of the Company has been presented as a continuation of the pre-existing accounting values of assets and liabilities in Coronado Group LLC’s financial statements.

Australian IPO

On October 23, 2018, we completed an initial public offering on the ASX, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold the equivalent of 16,651,692 shares of common stock in the form of CHESS Depositary Interests, or CDIs, and the EMG Group sold the equivalent of 2,691,896.4 shares of common stock in the form of CDIs, which we refer to as the Australian IPO.

Results of Operations

How We Evaluate Our Operations

We evaluate our operations based on the volume of coal we can safely produce and sell in compliance with regulatory standards, and the prices we receive for our coal. Our sales volume and sales prices are largely dependent upon the terms of our coal sales contracts, for which prices generally are set based on daily index averages or on a quarterly basis.

Our management uses a variety of financial and operating metrics to analyze our performance. These metrics are significant factors in assessing our operating results and profitability. These financial and operating metrics include:

Coronado Global Resources, Inc. Form 10-Q September 30, 201928


Table of Contents

 

(i) safety and environmental metrics; (ii) sales volumes and average realized price per Mt sold, which we define as coal revenues divided by sales volume; (iii) Met sales volumes and average realized met price per Mt sold, which we define as met coal revenues divided by met sales volume; (iv) average segment mining costs per Mt sold, which we define as cost of coal revenues divided by sales volumes; and (v) average segment operating costs per Mt sold, which we define as segment operating costs divided by sales volumes.

Coal revenues are shown on our statement of operations and comprehensive income exclusive of other revenues. Operating expenses are inclusive of cost of coal revenues, freight expense, Stanwell rebate and other royalties and exclude depreciation, depletion and amortization, and selling, general, and administrative expenses. Cost of coal revenues is shown on our statement of operations and comprehensive income exclusive of freight expense, Stanwell rebate, other royalties, depreciation, depletion and amortization and selling, general and administrative expenses. Cost of coal revenues excludes these cost components as our chief operating decision maker, or CODM, does not view these costs as directly attributable to the production of coal. We believe our presentation of cost of coal revenues is useful to investors in providing an accurate view of the costs directly attributable to the production of coal in our mining costs segment. Additionally, for our international sales contracts, we typically bear the cost of freight from our mines to the applicable outbound shipping port, while freight costs from the port to the end destination are typically borne by the customer. For our domestic sales, customers typically bear the cost of freight. As such, freight expenses are excluded from cost of coal revenues to allow for consistency and comparability in evaluating our operating performance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures; Other Measures

The following discussion of our results of operations includes references to and analysis of Adjusted EBITDA, which is a financial measure not recognized in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, are used by investors to measure our operating performance and lenders to measure our ability to incur and service debt.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, depletion and amortization, other foreign exchange losses and loss on debt extinguishment. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to serve as an alternative to U.S. GAAP measures of performance and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable measure under U.S. GAAP is included below. In addition, we present Adjusted EBITDA on a supplemental pro forma basis.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted EBITDA by operating and reporting segment, adjusted for certain transactions, eliminations or adjustments that our CODM does not consider for making decisions to allocate resources among segments or assessing segment performance. Segment EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and by external users of our financial statements such as investors, industry analysts and lenders to assess the operating performance of the business.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2018

Summary

The financial and operational highlights for the three months ended September 30, 2019:

Sales volume totaled 4.9 MMt for the three months ended September 30, 2019, or 0.4 MMt lower than the three months ended September 30, 2018. Sales volumes were impacted by reduced production due to scheduled mine and rail maintenance at Curragh and by the curtailment of Buchanan shipments to China due to increased import tariffs on U.S. coal.

Net income increased by $23.9 million, from $45.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, to net income of $69.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, reflecting lower income tax in 2019 due to initial recognition of deferred tax liabilities during the three months ended September 30, 2018, as a result of the Reorganization Transaction and lower interest expense of $11.0 million.

Lower coal market prices during the three months ended September 30, 2019 resulted in lower average realized Met price of $125.9 per Mt sold, 4.2% lower compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $149.7 million, a decrease of $21.7 million, from Adjusted EBITDA of $171.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, largely driven by a decline in revenues partially offset by lower operating costs.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company paid a distribution of $396.3.0 million, which was funded by available cash and external borrowings. As at September 30, 2019 the company had $310.0 million of external borrowings outstanding.

Coal Revenues

Coal revenues were $525.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $66.1 million, as compared to $591.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This decrease was predominantly due to lower Met coal sales volumes and a lower average realized Met coal price during the 2019 period. Lower pricing mainly impacted Curragh and Buchanan which sell into the export market at indexed prices. Sales volumes were down at Curragh due to its mine and rail infrastructure scheduled maintenance in the quarter, while Buchanan sales volume decreased due to suspended shipments to China as a result of increased Chinese tariffs.

Other Revenues

Other revenues were $10.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $2.3 million, as compared to $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase is predominantly related to Curragh, including an increase of $1.3 million for amortization of the Stanwell non-market coal supply agreement, or CSA, liability for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as a result of higher thermal coal sales volumes to Stanwell.

Cost of Coal Revenues (Exclusive of Items Shown Separately Below)

Cost of coal revenues are comprised of costs related to produced tons sold, along with changes in both the volumes and carrying values of coal inventory. Cost of coal revenues include items such as direct operating costs, which includes employee-related costs, materials and supplies, contractor services, coal handling and preparation costs and production taxes. Total cost of coal revenues for the Company were $264.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $33.4 million, as compared to $298.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Cost of coal revenues at Curragh were down $13.1 million largely driven by a favorable average foreign exchange rate on translation of the Curragh operations of A$/US$: 0.68 versus 0.73 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The remainder of the decrease was largely due to lower operating costs from 0.4MMt of lower sales volume.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

Depreciation, depletion and amortization was $39.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $8.4 million, as compared to $48.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease was associated with lower production resulting in lower depreciation for assets depreciated under units of production and

Table of Contents

 

favorable average foreign exchange rate on translation of the Curragh operations for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018

Freight Expenses

The amount of freight expenses was $37.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $1.9 million, as compared to $38.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease was predominantly driven by overall decrease in export coal sales volume.

Stanwell Rebate

The Stanwell rebate was $40.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $5.0 million, as compared to $45.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease was largely driven by lower realized coal pricing during the third quarter of 2019 coupled with favorable average foreign exchange rate on translation of the Curragh operations compared to the same period in 2018.

Other Royalties

Other royalties were $35.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $11.6 million, as compared to $47.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018. Lower royalties were a product of favorable average foreign exchange rate for the quarter used to translate the Curragh operations, lower export pricing and a mark-to- market write down of Buchanan’s Contingent Royalty Consideration (payable to CONSOL) obligation due to lower forecast Met pricing at the end of September 30, 2019.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net of $9.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $11.0 million, as compared to $20.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The higher interest expense in 2018 was due to a $700 million term loan that was established for the Curragh acquisition which was subsequently repaid on October 24, 2018.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense of $30.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $26.0 million, as compared to $56.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The 2019 income tax expense is based on an effective tax rate of 29.7%. The 2018 period included $40.5 million deferred tax recognized as a result of the Corporate Reorganization Transaction.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018

Summary

The financial and operational highlights for the nine months ended September 30, 2019:

Sales volume totaled 15.3 MMt for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, or 2.9 MMt higher than the nine months ended September 30, 2018, predominantly due to the acquisition of Curragh on March 29, 2018.

Net income increased by $202.6 million, from $80.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, to $283.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, reflecting increases in operating income, predominantly due to the acquisition of Curragh on March 29, 2018, lower interest expense, no loss on debt extinguishment, and lower other expenses, partly offset by higher income tax expense.

Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $555.1 million, an increase of $241.8 million, from Adjusted EBITDA of $313.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, predominantly due to the acquisition of Curragh on March 29, 2018.

Cash generated from operating activities of $438.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was partially offset by capital expenditures of $117.4 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company paid dividends and other distributions of $696.0 million, which was funded by available cash and external borrowings. As at September 30, 2019 the company had $310.0 million of external borrowings outstanding.

Coal Revenues

Coal revenues were $1,738.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $362.1 million, as compared to $1,376.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Curragh contributed $402.0 million in additional coal revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the comparative period given Curragh was acquired on March 29, 2018. Additionally, average realized Met coal price for the nine months to September 30, 2019 was $133.8 per Mt sold, $4.4 per Mt sold higher compared to $129.4 per Mt sold for the nine months ended September 2018.

Other Revenues

Other revenues were $31.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $8.8 million, as compared to $23.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase is predominantly related to the higher amortization of the Stanwell non-market CSA liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 of $25.1 million compared to $19.1 million for the prior period on account of higher thermal coal sales to Stanwell. Other revenues for our operating segments in the United States increased $2.0 million on higher freight revenue.

Cost of Coal Revenues (Exclusive of Items Shown Separately Below)

Cost of coal revenues are comprised of costs related to produced tons sold, along with changes in both the volumes and carrying values of coal inventory. Cost of coal revenues include items such as direct operating costs, which includes employee-related costs, materials and supplies, contractor services, coal handling and preparation costs and production taxes. Total cost of coal revenues for the Company were $798.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $75.7 million, as compared to $722.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Of this increase $81.3 million was attributable to a full nine-month contribution in the 2019 period from Curragh compared to a partial period from acquisition on March 29, 2018 in the comparative period. Partially offsetting this increase was (1) favorable average foreign exchange rate on translation of the Curragh operations of A$/US$: 0.70 versus 0.74 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 and (2) the unwind of a $21.4 million fair value

adjustment recognized to coal inventories on acquisition of Curragh that was unwound during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

Depreciation, depletion and amortization was $125.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $12.5 million, as compared to $112.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily a result of Curragh’s additional contribution for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the comparative period given Curragh was acquired on March 29, 2018.

Freight Expenses

The amount of freight expenses was $126.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $42.3 million, as compared to $84.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase is primarily due to additional freight expenses of $34.8 million in 2019 that were not included in the comparative period given Curragh was acquired on March 29, 2018. Partially offsetting this increase was a favorable average foreign exchange rate on translation of the Curragh operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The remaining increase is largely driven by higher freight expense for our operating segments in the United States with respect to new rail and port arrangements with certain customers that did not exist in 2018.

Stanwell Rebate

The Stanwell rebate was $134.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $56.9 million, as compared to $77.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This is primarily on account of Curragh’s contribution to the Company’s result in 2018 was only for part of the period since March 29, 2018, being the date of acquisition. Additionally, higher average realized price per Mt sold contributed to the increase in Stanwell rebate.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative costs were $26.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $30.3 million, as compared to $56.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to one-off, non-recurring costs incurred in relation to the Curragh acquisition during March 2018 relating to stamp duty of $29.0 million (A$43.0 million).

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net of interest income, was $26.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $19.2 million, as compared to interest expense of $45.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. In the 2018 period the Company incurred interest expense of $32.3 million which related to a $700 million term loan that was established for the Curragh acquisition and was fully repaid on October 24, 2018. This was partially offset by the increase in accretion of the deferred consideration liability, recognized on the purchase of the SRA on August 14, 2018, of $12.3 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 which only included the accretion for part of the period.

Loss on Debt Extinguishment

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $3.9 million relating to the extinguishment of a term loan that occurred in conjunction with the Curragh acquisition on March 29, 2018. There was no debt extinguishment cost for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Other, net expense was $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $21.9 million, as compared to $22.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This favorable variance is primarily comprised of non-recurring costs incurred in 2018 relating to the $15.7 million loss on the settlement of a foreign exchange swaps recognized at the time of the Curragh acquisition and a fair value adjustment of $4.9 million on interest rate swaps that were in place during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense of $119.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $57.5 million, as compared to $62.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The 2019 income tax expense is based on an effective tax rate of 29.7%. The 2018 period included $40.5 million deferred tax recognized as a result of the Corporate Reorganization Transaction.

Coal revenues for Curragh for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $342.2 million, a decrease of $47.8 million or 12.3%, compared to $390.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This decrease was driven largely by a decrease in average realized met price of $15.2 per Mt sold which was a result of a decrease in the benchmark coking coal market. Lower pricing was exacerbated by a decrease in the export met sales volumes of 0.1Mt due to rail restrictions resulting from scheduled maintenance performed by the infrastructure provider.

Operating costs decreased by $30.6 million, or 10.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. This decrease was driven primarily by a favorable average foreign exchange rate on translation of the Curragh operations for the three months ended September 30, 2019 of A$/US$: 0.68 versus 0.73 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange translation, mining cost were down due to lower coal sales volumes. Royalties and Stanwell rebate were also down mainly due to lower realized coal pricing during the third quarter of 2019. Mining cost per Mt sold for the three months ended September 30, 2019, excluding the impact of foreign exchange remained consistent to the prior quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $16.2 million, or 14.6%, to $94.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $111.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, due to the lower coal revenues outweighing the lower operating costs.

coal sales volumes of 0.2 MMt, or 16.7% and lower average realized Met price of $8.5 per Mt sold, or 8.5%, due to import tariffs on U.S. coal imposed by China during the quarter.

Operating costs decreased by $19.9 million, or 29.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. This decrease was primarily driven by lower mining costs of $14.8 million, or 22.5%, in addition to lower royalty charges due to a mark-to-market adjustment for the CONSOL Energy contingent royalty to $5.9 million reflecting lower forecast export pricing as at September 30, 2019. The decrease in mining costs was primarily driven by lower sales related costs associated with the lower coal sales volume of 0.2 MMt, or 16.7%, coupled with lower mining cost per Mt sold of $3.5 per ton.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019 adjusted EBITDA decreased by $9.3 million, or 17.5%, compared to the comparative quarter. This decrease was primarily driven by lower sales volumes and in turn lower coal revenue of $29.3 million which was partially offset by lower operating costs of $19.9 million.

Coal revenues increased by $10.2 million, or 15.7%, to $75.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $65.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This improvement was largely driven by higher average realized Met price of $28.2 per Mt sold, or 25.8%, in relation to domestic Met sales contracts. The higher realized pricing was partially offset by lower sales related costs associated with the lower sales volume of 0.1MMt, or 14.3%.

Total operating costs decreased by $1.2 million, to $56.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to operating costs of $57.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease largely relates to lower mining costs as a result of lower sales volume of 0.1MMt, partially offset by higher production costs at existing operations from establishment of three additional mines coming online in 2019. Additionally, royalty expense increased by $1.2 million due to greater coal revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period of 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months September 30, 2019 increased $12.8 million, or 197.9%, to $19.2 million, compared to $6.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Improved performance primarily relates to a higher realized Met price. This was partially offset by higher cost production and a change in the production mix, with the addition of the three new operations

Coal revenues increased by $0.8 million, or 5.2%, to $16.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $16.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was driven by higher average realized pricing of $22.3 per Mt sold, or 22.0%, partly offset by lower sales volumes of 0.1MMt due to timing of sales.

Total operating costs for the three months ended September 30, 2019, were relatively in line with total operating costs for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Mining costs decreased by $3.0 per Mt sold, or 18.6%, primarily due to lower sales related costs associated with the lower sales volume of 0.1MMt. This was partially offset by additional freight expenses driven by new rail and port arrangements with certain customers that did not exist in the comparative period.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.7 million to $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to EBITDA of ($1.5) million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Improved performance was primarily related to increased coal revenues as a result of higher average realized pricing.

Corporate and other costs increased $9.6 million to $8.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to income of $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase is primarily driven by higher salaries of $2.0 million due to head office and corporate reorganization as a result of the Company registration with the ASX and the SEC, coupled with higher professional and consultancy fees of $2.4 million. The 2018 period professional and consultancy fees relate to the Australian IPO, which have been capitalized to the balance sheet and amortized over time. Additionally, Other in 2018 included fair value mark-to-market gains with respect to interest rate swaps of $4.4 million. The Company has no interest swaps in 2019.

Pro forma coal revenues increased by $40.1 million, or 3.7%, to $1,118.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $1,078.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was driven by higher Met coal sales volumes which increased 0.6 MMt or 9.2%, to 7.1 MMt for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to 6.5 MMt for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The higher sales volumes were supported by increased production during the period compared to the same period last year.

Pro forma operating costs decreased by $50.1 million, or 6.1%, to $777.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $827.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily driven by favorable average foreign exchange rate on translation of the Curragh operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 of A$/US$: 0.70 versus 0.74 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Mining cost per Mt sold decreased by

$9.7 per Mt sold to $44.6 per Mt sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $54.1 per Mt sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Excluding the effect of foreign exchange translation, the Pro forma mining cost per Mt sold was lower for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 2018 due to: (1) the unwind of a $21.4 million fair value adjustment recognized to coal inventories on the acquisition of Curragh during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and (2) unplanned outages at the wash plant in 2018. The decrease in pro forma operating costs were partially offset by higher Stanwell rebates which increased by $14.0 million due mainly to higher sales volumes.

Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $366.6 million, an increase of $91.1 million, or 33.1%, over the pro forma Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Lower operating costs and higher coal revenues were two key factors that contributed to the higher Adjusted EBITDA.

Coal revenues decreased by $38.4 million, or 10.1%, to $343.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $381.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This decrease was driven by lower average realized price of $5.9 per Mt and lower sales volumes due to import tariffs on U.S. coal imposed by China.

Total operating costs decreased $45.6 million to $183.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to operating costs of $229.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This decrease was driven by lower mining costs of $ 8.2 million and lower CONSOL Energy royalty of $ 31.7 million, related to the mark-to-market adjustment and one less year remaining in the contingent payment period, and lower other royalties of $4.8 million due to mining higher ratio owned coal compared to lease coal. The decrease in mining costs was primarily driven by lower sales related costs associated with the lower sales volume of 0.2 MMt, or 5.6%, partially offset by increase in mining cost of $0.1 per Mt due to some periodic adverse mining conditions.

Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, was $160.0 million, an increase of $7.4 million, or 4.9% over the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was driven by lower mining costs, lower royalties related to the CONSOL Energy contingent royalty and mining a greater percentage of owned coal versus lease coal. This was partially offset by a decrease in coal revenues due to import tariffs on U.S. coal imposed by China.

Coal revenue increased by $51.2 million, or 28.8%, to $228.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $177.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was driven by a higher average realized Met price due to higher committed contract prices, as well as improvements to the sales mix.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 total operating costs at Logan increased $20.3 million, or 12.9%, to $177.6 million compared to $157.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Mining costs increased $13.2 million, primarily due to higher cost production at existing operations, driven by mining conditions, and production costs related to three additional mines coming online in 2019. Freight expense increased $3.0 million driven by new rail and port arrangements with certain customers that did not exist in the comparative period. Other royalties increased $4.2 million due to higher revenues. The increase in operating costs resulted in a corresponding increase of operating cost per ton of $12.2 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as there was no significant change to sales volumes when comparing the two periods.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $32.6 million to $54.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $21.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a 148.3% increase, due to improvement in coal revenue partially offset by increased operating costs.

Coal revenue decreased by $4.3 million, or 8.2%, to $48.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $52.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This decrease was driven by lower sales volumes, partially offset by higher average realized price. The lower sales volume is primarily related to the exhaustion of the Pollock Knob reserve, lack of purchased coal available for blending, and lower production volume due to some adverse geological mining conditions and unscheduled equipment downtime.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, total operating costs decreased $5.6 million to $50.4 million, compared to costs of $56.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to lower production volumes and lower sales related costs due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by an increase in

freight expense driven by new rail and port arrangements with certain customers that did not exist in the comparative period. Operating cost per ton increased by $27.6 per Mt sold to $135.4, of which approximately $15 per ton was due the increased freight expenses. Additionally, lower production volumes related to the exhaustion of the Pollock Knob reserve and to adverse geological mining conditions and equipment downtime, impacted average cost per ton.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $0.6 million to $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to adjusted EBITDA of ($0.5) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was primarily due to lower operating costs of $5.6 million and partially offset by lower coal revenue of $4.3 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our objective is to maintain a prudent capital structure and to ensure that sufficient liquid assets and funding is available to meet both anticipated and unanticipated financial obligations, including unforeseen events that could have an adverse impact on revenues or costs. Our principal sources of funds are cash flow from operations and borrowings under the SFA.

Our main uses of cash have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, the funding of our operations, working capital and capital expenditure, debt service obligations and payment of dividends. Based on our outlook for the next 12 months, which is subject to continued changing demand from our customers and volatility in coal prices, expected cash generated from operations together with available borrowing facilities, will be sufficient to meet the needs of our existing operations, service our debt obligations and fund potential dividends.

Our ability to generate sufficient cash depends on our future performance which may be subject to a number of factors beyond our control, including general economic, financial and competitive conditions and other risks described in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our registration statement on Form 10, as amended, filed with the SEC and ASX on June 28, 2019. Over time, we may seek additional funding from a range of sources to diversify our funding sources.

Liquidity as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was as follows:

Liquidity

As of September 30, 2019, available liquidity was $274.2 million comprising cash and cash equivalents of $34.2 million and $240.0 million of available borrowing facilities. As of December 31, 2018, available liquidity was $474.7 million comprising cash and cash equivalents of $124.7 million and $350.0 million of available borrowing facilities.

Cash

Cash is held in multicurrency interest bearing bank accounts available to be used to service the working capital needs of the Company. Cash balances surplus to immediate working capital requirements are invested in short-term interest-bearing deposit accounts or used to repay interest bearing liabilities.

Secured Credit Facilities

To assist in managing the potential volatility in economic and operational changes, which may influence the generation of free cash flow, the Company entered into the SFA, which provides three borrowing facilities:

Facility A — $350 million multicurrency revolving loan facility available for general working capital and corporate purposes;

Facility B — A$370 million multicurrency bank guarantee facility; and

Facility C — $200 million multicurrency revolving loan facility available for general working capital and corporate purposes.

The right to draw upon these facilities is conditional upon a number of provisions being satisfied at the time that each drawdown request is issued. These conditions include, among other things, that:

no Event of Default is continuing or would result from the proposed loan;

the representations, as defined in the SFA, that are made are true in all material respects and not misleading; and

the amount of the proposed loan will not cause the committed facility limit to be exceeded.

At September 30, 2019, Facility A had $310.0 million of outstanding balance, with $40 million of available undrawn and Facility C had no outstanding balance, with $200 million of availability undrawn.

Bank Guarantees

We are required to provide financial assurances and securities to satisfy contractual and other requirements generated in the normal course of business. Some of these assurances are provided to comply with state or other government agencies’ statutes and regulations. Facility B is available for this purpose and as of September 30, 2019, we had issued multicurrency Bank Guarantees totaling A$268.1 million to satisfy these requirements, leaving A$101.8 million available under Facility B.

Secured Credit Facilities Terms

Interest Rate

Borrowings under our SFA bear interest at a floating rate which is either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin for US$ loans and (ii) Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate, or BBSY, bid plus an applicable margin for the A$ loan. The applicable margin for Facility A and C depends on the Net Debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined in the SFA).

Financial Covenants

Under the SFA we are required to comply with financial covenants, namely leverage ratio, interest coverage ratio, tangible net worth.

Each financial covenant is calculated with reference to the definitions contained in the SFA. As of September 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the SFA.

Operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $438.6 million and $273.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to the additional cash contributed by Curragh since it was acquired on March 29, 2018, and an improvement in operating performance of the U.S. Operations.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $118.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $611.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Capital expenditure for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $117.4 million, of which $38.4 million related to Curragh and the remaining $79.0 million related to the U.S. Operations. Included in the cash flows in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was the cash consideration of $537.2 million used by Coronado to purchase Curragh.

Financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $409.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $565.4 million of net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Uses of cash from financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included $696.1 million for distributions paid to the shareholders of the Company and payments of contingent royalty consideration under the Value Share Mechanism of $17.8 million. The Company borrowed $414 million to partially fund the distribution to shareholders of which $104.0 was repaid during the period.

Included in the net cash provided in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was proceeds from borrowings of $700.0 and $151.3 contributed by members of Coronado Group LLC (former parent of the Company), which were utilized for the purchase of Curragh and the repayment of term loans.

Contractual Obligations

There were no material changes to our contractual obligations from the information previously provided in Item 2 of our registration statement on Form 10, as amended, filed with the SEC and ASX on June 28, 2019, for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe are appropriate, the results of which form the basis for making judgements about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. All of these accounting estimates and assumptions, as well as the resulting impact to our financial statements, have been discussed with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Our critical accounting policies are discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our registration statement on Form 10, as amended, filed with the SEC and ASX on June 28, 2019.

Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information

 

The following unaudited consolidated pro forma statements of operations present the combination of the historical financial statements of Coronado and Curragh, adjusted to give effect to the acquisition of Wesfarmers Curragh Pty Ltd by Coronado, which we refer to as the Curragh acquisition.

 

The unaudited consolidated pro forma statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 combine the historical consolidated statement of operations of Coronado and the historical combined statement of operations for Curragh, giving effect to the acquisition of Wesfarmers Curragh Pty Ltd by Coronado as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2018. This will facilitate a pro forma comparison between the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. We believe a discussion of these two periods is more meaningful as it is on a comparable basis.

 

The unaudited consolidated pro forma statements of operations do not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon current available information and assumptions that Coronado believes to be reasonable. The pro forma adjustments and related assumptions are described in the accompanying notes presented on the following pages.

 

The unaudited consolidated pro forma statements of operations are for informational purposes only and are not intended to represent or to be indicative of the actual results of operations or financial position that the combined business of Coronado and Curragh would have reported had the transactions been completed as of the dates set forth in the unaudited consolidated pro forma statements of operations and should not be taken as being indicative of Coronado’s future consolidated results of operation. The actual results may differ significantly from those reflected in the unaudited consolidated pro forma statements of operations for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, differences between the assumptions used to prepare the unaudited consolidated pro forma statements of operations and actual amounts. As a result, the pro forma consolidated information does not purport to be indicative of what the results of operations would have been had the transaction been completed on the applicable dates of the unaudited consolidated pro forma statements of operations.

Table of Contents

 

Note 1. Basis of Preparation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated pro forma statement of operations was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and presents the pro forma combined results of operations of Coronado based upon the historical financial statements of each of Coronado and Curragh, after giving effect to the Curragh acquisition and change in tax status, and are intended to reflect the impact of the Curragh acquisition and change in tax status on Coronado’s statement of operations. The accompanying unaudited consolidated pro forma statement of operations has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Coronado for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in these notes.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated pro forma statement of operations is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the actual results that would have been achieved by Coronado if the Curragh acquisition had been consummated as of the beginning of the periods presented or that will be achieved in the future. The unaudited consolidated pro forma statement of operations does not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from realization of synergies expected to result from the Curragh acquisition. In addition, throughout the period presented in the unaudited consolidated pro forma statement of operations until the date of acquisition on March 29, 2018, the operations of Curragh were conducted and accounted for as part of the former shareholder. Curragh’s unaudited combined financial information has been derived from the former shareholder’s historical accounting records and reflect certain allocations of direct costs and expenses. All of the allocations and estimates in such financial information are based on assumptions that the management of the former shareholder believes are reasonable. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated pro forma statement of operations includes all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the period presented. Curragh’s financial information does not necessarily represent the financial position of Curragh had it been operated as a stand-alone company during the period.

 

The unaudited consolidated pro forma statement of operations combines the historical consolidated statement of operations of Coronado for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and the unaudited combined financial information of Wesfarmer’s Curragh Pty Ltd for the three months ended March 29, 2018, giving effect to the Curragh acquisition as if both had been consummated on January 1, 2018.

 

Note 2. Income Statement Adjustments

 

The unaudited consolidated pro forma statement of operations reflects the following adjustments ($ in thousands):

 

(A)Reclassifications

 

These adjustments represent reclassifications to conform the accounting presentation of Curragh’s financial statements to Coronado’s financial statements.

 

(B)International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, to U.S. GAAP adjustments (in AUD)

 

Impairment was adjusted as follows:

 

 

 

September 30, 2018

 

 

Elimination of Curragh’s impairment reversal(1)

 

263,097

 

 

Total IFRS to U.S. GAAP adjustment to impairment expense

 

263,097

 

 

_______________________

(1) Represents the removal of the IFRS, impairment reversal consistent with pushing back the U.S. GAAP acquisition fair values to January 1, 2018 and the prohibition under U.S. GAAP of the reversal of impairment expense.

 

Coronado Global Resources, Inc. Form 10-Q September 30, 201948


Table of Contents

 

Depreciation, depletion and amortization was adjusted as follows:

 

 

 

September 30, 2018

 

 

Adjustment to accretion of Curragh asset retirement obligation(1)

 

1,525

 

 

Total IFRS to U.S. GAAP adjustment to depreciation, depletion and amortization expense

 

1,525

 

 

_______________________

(1) Under U.S. GAAP, a company-specific risk adjusted discount rate is used which is higher than the discount rate required by IFRS. The higher discount rate under U.S. GAAP reduces the asset retirement obligation, or ARO, booked initially and results in a higher accretion expense each period as the discounted ARO balance increases.

 

See Note J for discussion of the calculation of the income tax expense.

 

(C)USD translation rate

 

In order to translate the Curragh AUD results into USD, an exchange rate of 0.7708 was utilized. This represents the average exchange rate for the period from January 1, 2018 to March 29, 2018.

 

(D)Other revenues

 

Other revenues were adjusted as follows:

 

 

 

September 30, 2018

 

 

Amortization of the Stanwell below market CSA(1)

 

3,006

 

 

Total pro forma adjustment to other revenues

 

3,006

 

 

_______________________

(1) Relates to the amortization of the Stanwell below market coal supply agreement, or CSA. The Stanwell below market CSA represents the fair value attributable to the Australian coal supply obligation arising from the Coronado Curragh business combination.

 

(E)Depreciation, depletion and amortization

 

Depreciation, depletion and amortization were adjusted as follows:

 

 

 

September 30, 2018

 

 

Adjustment to depreciation of Curragh assets acquired(1)

 

7,977

 

 

Total pro forma adjustment to depreciation, depletion and amortization

 

7,977

 

 

_______________________

(1) Represents the adjustment to Curragh’s historical depreciation and amortization as a result of preliminary fair value adjustments to the acquired depreciable assets, mineral reserves and amortizable intangible assets.

 

(F)Selling, general and administrative

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses were adjusted as follows:

 

 

 

September 30, 2018

 

 

Transaction costs(1)

 

(38,101

)

 

Total pro forma adjustment to selling, general and administrative expenses

 

(38,101

)

 

_______________________

(1) Relates to advisory and legal fees incurred in the year ended September 30, 2018, which are directly attributable to the Curragh acquisition, but which are not expected to have a continuing impact on results following the consummation of the Curragh acquisition.

_______________________

(1) Represents the removal of the historical interest charge in relation to an intercompany loan Curragh had with its previous shareholder, which was assigned to Coronado upon acquisitions and is therefore eliminated in consolidation.

 

(2) Represents the reversal of interest expense related to the Bank of America Term Loan on Coronado’s Statement of Operations. This loan was extinguished on March 29, 2018 in conjunction with the acquisition of Curragh. In order to represent the financing in-place as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2018, the effects of this note have been removed.

 

(3) Represents additional interest expense related to the DB Term Loan. This $700 million loan, established on March 29, 2018, was used to partially finance the acquisition of Curragh and the additional interest charge reflects this loan as if it were in existence on January 1, 2018. The assumed interest rate for the three months to March 29, 2018 was 8.802%, representing LIBOR plus a 6.5% spread. This is the actual interest rate of the loan at origination. Due to the proximity of the assumed origination (January 1, 2018) and the actual origination (March 29, 2018) as well as the fact the loan was extinguished on October 24, 2018, the interest rate at March 29, 2018 was determined to be representative and more meaningful for the pro forma adjustment than utilizing the current rate.

 

(4) For each one-eighth of 1% change in estimated interest rate associated with the $700 million DB Term Loan, interest expense would increase or decrease by $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

(5) Represents the additional amortization of debt issuance costs and the debt discount associated with the DB Term Loan.

 

(H)Loss on debt extinguishment

 

Loss on debt extinguishment was adjusted as follows:

 

 

 

September 30, 2018

 

 

Reversal of debt extinguishment related to the Bank of America Term Loan(1)

 

3,905

 

 

Total pro forma adjustment to loss on debt extinguishment expense

 

3,905

 

 

_______________________

(1) Represents the reversal of the debt extinguishment expense related to the Bank of America Term Loan on Coronado’s Statement of Operations. This loan was extinguished on March 29, 2018 in conjunction with the acquisition of Curragh. In order to represent the financing in-place as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2018, the effects of this note have been removed.

Total pro forma adjustment to selling, general and administrative expenses

 

15,695

 

 

_______________________

(1) Relates to the loss on Foreign Exchange, or FX, swap incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, which is directly attributable to the Curragh acquisition as it locked in the USD exchange rate in advance of the purchase of Curragh. This loss on FX swap is not expected to have a continuing impact on results following the consummation of the Curragh acquisition.

 

(J)Income tax provisions

 

For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, an Australian statutory tax rate of approximately 30% has been used for pro forma adjustments related to Curragh. A U.S. blended statutory tax rate (Federal and State) of approximately 27% has been used for pro forma adjustments related to the U.S. LLC’s. This does not reflect Coronado’s effective tax rate, which will include other tax items such as state and foreign taxes as well as other tax charges and benefits, and does not take into account any historical or possible future tax events that may impact Coronado following the consummation of the Curragh acquisition.

 

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our activities expose us to a variety of financial risks, including market risk such as commodity price risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The overall risk management objective is to minimize potential adverse effects on our financial performance from those risks which are not coal price related.

We manage financial risk through policies and procedures approved by our Board of Directors. These specify the responsibility of the Board of Directors and management with regard to the management of financial risk. Financial risks are managed centrally by our finance team under the direction of the Group Chief Financial Officer. The finance team manages risk exposures primarily through delegated authority limits approved by the Board of Directors. The finance team regularly monitors our exposure to these financial risks and reports to management and the Board of Directors on a regular basis. Policies are reviewed at least annually and amended where appropriate.

We may use derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and foreign exchange rate contracts to hedge certain risk exposures. Derivatives are exclusively used for economic hedging purposes and hedging for speculative purposes is strictly prohibited by the Treasury Risk management Policy approved by our Board of Directors. We use different methods to measure the extent to which we are exposed to various financial risks. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks and aging analysis for credit risk.

Commodity Price Risk

Coal Price Risk

We are exposed to domestic and global coal prices. Our principal philosophy is that our investors would not consider hedging of coal prices to be in the long-term interest of our stockholders. Therefore, any potential hedging of coal prices through long-term fixed price contracts is subject to the approval of our Board of Directors and would only be adopted in exceptional circumstances.

We manage our commodity price risk for our non-trading, thermal coal sales through the use of long-term coal supply agreements in our U.S. Operations. In Australia, thermal coal is sold to Stanwell on a supply contract. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors—Risks related to the Supply Deed with Stanwell may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations” in our registration statement on Form 10, as amended, filed with the SEC and ASX on June 28, 2019.

Sales commitments in the Met coal market are typically not long-term in nature, and we are therefore subject to fluctuations in market pricing. For example, a 10% decrease in the hard coking coal, or HCC, benchmark price would have decreased reported revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and nine months ended September 30, 2019 by approximately $37.0 million and $126.7 million respectively.

Diesel Fuel

We may be exposed to price risk in relation to other commodities from time to time arising from raw materials used in our operations (such as gas or diesel). These commodities may be hedged through financial instruments if the exposure is considered material and where the exposure cannot be mitigated through fixed price supply agreements.

Coronado Global Resources, Inc. Form 10-Q September 30, 201951


Table of Contents

 

In 2018, we entered into fixed price contracts with our fuel suppliers to purchase 19.1 million liters of fuel for our U.S. Operations with a total commitment of $11.3 million for 2019. The remaining commitment as of September 30, 2019 was $2.8 million with respect to 4.8 million liters. Any additional fuel required will be purchased under fixed-price contracts or on a spot basis.

In addition, we have entered into forward derivative contracts to purchase 93.4 million liters of diesel fuel in 2019 with respect to the expected fuel requirements for the Curragh operations in Australia in 2019. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 we have entered into additional forward derivative contracts to purchase 126 million liters of diesel fuel with respect to the expected fuel requirements for Curragh operations in 2020. The fair value of the forward derivative contracts as of September 30, 2019 was a liability of $0.5 million with respect to outstanding 150.7 million liters.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that a change in interest rates on our borrowing facilities will have an adverse impact on financial performance, investment decisions and stockholder returns. Our objectives in managing our exposure to interest rates include minimizing interest costs in the long term, providing a reliable estimate of interest costs for the annual work program and budget and ensuring that changes in interest rates will not have a material impact on our financial performance.

As of September 30, 2019, we had $14.4 million of fixed-rate borrowings and $310 million of variable-rate borrowings outstanding. As discussed in Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Liquidity,” as of September 30, 2019, the drawn debt facility of $310 million incurred a variable interest rate of LIBOR or BBSY bid plus a margin. A 10% increase in the market interest rate would have increased our reported interest expense by $0.1 million.

Foreign Exchange Risk

A significant portion of our sales are denominated in US$. Foreign exchange risk is the risk that our earnings or cash flows are adversely impacted by movements in exchange rates of currencies that are not in US$.

Our main exposure is to the A$-US$ exchange rate through our Australian Operations, which have predominantly A$ denominated costs. Greater than 90% of expenses incurred at Curragh are denominated in A$. Approximately 10% of Curragh’s purchases are made with reference to US$, which provides a natural hedge against foreign exchange movements on these purchases (including fuel, some port handling charges, demurrage, purchased coal and some insurance premiums).

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company entered into forward exchange contracts to hedge a portion of its foreign currency exposure of the Curragh operations by selling US$ generated from export coal sales revenue at Curragh and purchasing A$ required to settle Curragh’s A$ operating costs.

For our Australian Operations, we translate all monetary assets and liabilities at the period-end exchange rate, all non-monetary assets and liabilities at historical rates and revenue and expenses at the average exchange rates in effect during the periods. The net effect of these translation adjustments is shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements within components of net income.

For the unhedged portion of US$ required to purchase A$ to settle Curragh’s operating costs, a 10% increase in the A$ to US$ exchange rate would increase reported total costs and expenses by approximately $18.1 million and $54.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and the nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that we will not have sufficient liquid funds to meet our financial commitments as and when they fall due. Liquidity risk is managed centrally through short-term cash forecasting and longer-term strategic planning. Our objective is to ensure that we have sufficient liquid assets and funding to meet both our anticipated and unexpected financial obligations.

Access to capital is also an important feature of liquidity risk management. We manage this risk through proactive management of our funding profile by ensuring that we have access to diverse sources of funds and that we do not have material refinancing risk in any single reporting period.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of sustaining a financial loss as a result of a counterparty not meeting its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract.

We are exposed to credit risk when we have financial derivatives, cash deposits, lines of credit, letters of credit or bank guarantees in place with financial institutions. To mitigate against credit risk from financial counterparties, we have minimum credit rating requirements with financial institutions where we transact.

We are also exposed to counterparty credit risk arising from our operating activities, primarily from trade receivables. Customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures, including an assessment of their

independent credit rating, financial position, past experience and industry reputation. We monitor the financial performance of counterparties on a routine basis to ensure credit thresholds are achieved. Where required, we will request additional credit support, such as letters of credit, to mitigate against credit risk. Credit risk is monitored regularly, and performance reports are provided to our management.

item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report, and concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the desired control objectives were achieved.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We are not currently required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and are therefore not required to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for that purpose. We will not be required to submit a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm until our second annual report on Form 10-K due to a transition period established by the rules of the SEC for newly registered companies.

During the preparation of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, we and our auditors identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the recognition and presentation of the impact of the Reorganization Transaction, which occurred just prior to the Australian IPO. The presentation was corrected prior to the issuance of the financial statements and did not result in any material misstatement of our financial statements or disclosures.

In the period since December 31, 2018, management has remediated the identified material weakness. The remediation efforts implemented specifically focused on the identified item and have also aided in enhancing our overall financial control environment. Remediation efforts applied during the period included (a) the immediate posting of the identified one-off item to ensure no material misstatement in our financial statements; (b) the continued recognition of this position since December 31, 2018 in our financial statements for the period ending September 30, 2019; (c) the Company has employed additional qualified resources to prepare, review and provide guidance on technical matters of this nature; and (d) the Company continues to utilize the expertise of certain third party technical advisors to assist in the review of complex transactions.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at September 30, 2019 and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the period ended September 30, 2019 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Changes to Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As previously reported, we expect to continue to make changes in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with our compliance efforts with respect to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. As such, we will continue to assess the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, remediate any control weaknesses that may be identified, validate through testing that controls are functioning as designed and implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

item 1. lEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are subject to various legal and regulatory proceedings. For a description of our significant legal proceedings refer to Note 20. “Contingencies” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report, which information is incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our registration statement on Form 10, as amended, filed with the SEC and ASX on June 28, 2019, which we refer to as our Form 10, includes a detailed discussion of certain material risk factors we face. In our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019, filed with the SEC on August 5, 2019, we updated the risk factor set under the heading “Risks related to our investment in WICET may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations” in Item 1A of our Form 10. The information presented below restates the risk factor set forth under the heading “We may face restricted access to international markets in the future” in Item 1A of our Form 10. You should consider this risk factor together with the other risk factors and other matters described in our Form 10 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We may face restricted access to international markets in the future.

Access to international markets may be subject to ongoing interruptions and trade barriers due to policies and tariffs of individual countries, and the actions of certain interest groups to restrict the import or export of certain commodities. For example, the imposition of tariffs by China in 2019 on U.S. coal imports into the country is currently having, and may in the future have, a negative impact on the profitability of the Buchanan mine. Although we are able to access alternate markets for our coal, additional interruptions and trade barriers may occur in the future. An inability for metallurgical coal suppliers to access international markets, including China, would likely result in an oversupply of metallurgical coal in the U.S. domestic market, resulting in a decrease in prices.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

Safety is the cornerstone of the Company’s values and is the number one priority for all employees at Coronado Global Resources. Our U.S. Operations include multiple mining complexes across three states and are regulated by both the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration, or MSHA, and state regulatory agencies. Under regulations mandated by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, or the Mine Act, MSHA inspects our U.S. mines on a regular basis and issues various citations and orders when it believes a violation has occurred under the Mine Act.

In accordance with Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K (17 CFR 229.104), each operator of a coal or other mine is required to report certain mine safety results in its periodic reports filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act.

Information pertaining to mine safety matters is included in Exhibit 95.1 attached to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The disclosures reflect the United States mining operations only, as these requirements do not apply to our mines operated outside the United States.
