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 six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future quarters or 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 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.

Table of Contents

 

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

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.

 

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 six months ended June 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:

The pro forma financial information was prepared based on historical financial information and has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma adjustments that are (i) directly attributable to the Curragh acquisition, (ii) factually supportable and (iii) expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.

 

These pro forma results are based on estimates and assumptions, which the Company believes are reasonable.  They are not the results that would have been realized had the acquisition actually occurred on January 1, 2018 and are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s consolidated results of operations in future periods.  The pro forma results include adjustments related to purchase accounting, depreciation of property and equipment, and do not include any anticipated synergies or other expected benefits that may be realized from the Curragh acquisition.

 

The pro forma results for the six months ended June 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 six months ended June 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, “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 asset — 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 June 30, 2019 the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet included $41.5 million of operating lease liabilities relating to equipment embedded within mining service contracts.

11.       Income Taxes

 

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. Accordingly, unless otherwise specified, the historical results of operations and other financial information set forth in the Company’s registration statement on Form 10, as amended, filed with the SEC and ASX on June 28, 2019, for periods prior to the incorporation of the Company and the Reorganization Transaction do not include any provision for U.S. income taxes.

 

For the three and six months ended June 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 29.4%. The Company had income tax expense of $47.0 million and $89.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 respectively.

 

Income tax expense of $13.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 related solely to the Company’s Australian Operations and was calculated based on effective tax rate for the period, before any discrete items, of 13%.

 

The Company’s U.S. entities had no income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 because prior to September 19, 2018 they were treated as partnerships for U.S. income tax purposes.

 

12.       Interest Bearing Liabilities

 

The Company has 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). The SFA provides that the Company may borrow funds from Facility A 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, being February 15, 2022.

 

During the period January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019 the Company borrowed $104.0 million under the SFA to fund the dividend payment made on March 29, 2019 of $299.7 million, and for other working capital purposes. The funds borrowed were fully repaid by June 30, 2019. There were no interest-bearing liabilities outstanding under the SFA at June 30, 2019 and 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.

 

Basic and diluted earnings per share was calculated as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

16.       Derivatives and Fair Value Measurement

 

(a)         Derivatives

 

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

 

In 2018, the Company entered into forward derivative contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $44.6 million to hedge its exposure to diesel fuel prices for diesel fuel that is used in the operations at Curragh. The aggregated notional amount of these derivative contracts at June 30, 2019 was $24.0 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 the Company entered into additional derivative contracts, with a notional amount of $59.1 million, to hedge its exposure to diesel fuel prices in relation to Curragh consumption of diesel fuel in 2020. The aggregate notional amount for all outstanding derivative contracts was $83.1 million at June 30, 2019.  The forward diesel fuel contracts were designated as cash flow hedges.

During the six months ended June 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.  As of June 30, 2019, the Company did not have any foreign exchange swaps outstanding.

 

(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:

 

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 June 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)

 

·                  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)

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

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 June 30, 2019, these Australian and U.S. commitments under take-or-pay arrangements totaled $1.04 billion, of which approximately $90.3 million is obligated within the next year.

 

18.       Related-Party Transactions

 

X-Coal

 

During the three and six months ended June 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 $135.3 million and $98.5 million, respectively, are recorded as coal revenues on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Revenues from Xcoal of $293.2 million and $213.0 million, respectively, are recorded as coal revenues on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. At June 30, 2019 amounts due from Xcoal in respect of coal sales were $59.7 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.

 

19.       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$370 million for issuing bank guarantees in Australian dollars. At June 30, 2019 Facility B of the SFA had been utilized to issue A$ 268.5 million of bank guarantees on behalf of the Company. In order to satisfy an obligation to provide a U.S. dollar bank guarantee to a third party, on June 12, 2019, the Company entered into a Bank Guarantee Facility Agreement with Westpac Banking Corporation with a limit of $28.6 million. At June 30, 2019, this facility was fully utilized to issue a bank guarantee to a third party for $28.6 million.

 

Curragh is a co-defendant 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 $4.2 million and $3.5 million as at June 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 June 30, 2019, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the related condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity/members’ capital and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 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.

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;

 

21


Table of Contents

 

·                  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;

·                  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. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements, as well as others made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and hereafter in our other filings with the SEC and public communications. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made by us in the context of these risks and uncertainties.

 

We caution you that the risks and uncertainties identified by us may not be all of the factors that are important to you. Furthermore, the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

 

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.

 

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. Our U.S. Operations also produce and sell some thermal coal that is extracted in the process of mining Met coal.

 

22


Table of Contents

 

Our business profile primarily focuses on the production of Met coal for the North American and seaborne export markets. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we produced and sold 10.4 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 six months ended June 30, 2018.

 

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.

 

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: (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.

Table of Contents

 

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

 

Summary

 

Our financial and operational highlights for the three months ended June 30, 2019:

 

·                  Tonnage sold totaled 5.4 MMt for the three months ended June 30, 2019, or 0.2 MMt higher than the three months ended June 30, 2018. Significant improvements to rail availability at Curragh during the second quarter of 2019 provided the opportunity to recover delayed sales from the first quarter of 2019.

 

·                  Net income increased by $58.2 million, from $59.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, to net income of $117.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, reflecting increases in operating income and lower other expenses, partly offset by income tax expense.

 

·                  Coal markets remained positive during the three months ended June 30, 2019 as coal revenues averaged $5.8 per ton higher compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018.

 

·                  Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $222.3 million, an increase of $83.1 million, from Adjusted EBITDA of $139.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, driven by very strong revenues and lower operating costs.

 

·                  As of June 30, 2019, we had cash of $46.0 million (excluding restricted cash) and $350.0 million of availability under the Multicurrency Revolving Syndicated Facility Agreement, dated September 15, 2018, which we refer to as the SFA.

Coal Revenues

 

Coal revenues were $630.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $53.2 million, as compared to $577.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in coal revenues was attributable to higher Met coal sales volumes and higher average realized Met coal price per ton sold during the 2019 period. Improvements in rail conditions at Curragh underpinned the increase in sales volumes whereas higher average realized Met coal pricing was primarily driven by committed (fixed and index priced) high volatile coal sales from the Logan segment, as well as an improved higher yielding Met coal sales mix.

 

Other Revenues

 

Other revenues were $11.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $2.3 million, as compared to $14.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease is predominantly related to Curragh, which recorded $12.6 million in other revenues relating to the amortization of the Stanwell non-market coal supply agreement, or CSA, liability for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $8.5 million recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in freight revenues with respect to certain arrangements with customers at Logan and Greenbrier.

 

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 $264.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $41.2 million, as compared to $305.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The primary reasons for this decrease are: (1) the three months to June 30, 2018 included the unwind of a $21.4 million fair value adjustment recognized to coal inventories on the acquisition of Curragh; and (2) favorable average foreign exchange rate on translation of the Curragh operations for the three months ended June 30, 2019 of A$/US$: 0.71 versus 0.76 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This was partially offset by higher production costs of $3.4 million at our U.S. Operations, primarily due to adverse geological mining conditions at certain mine complexes.

 

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

 

Depreciation, depletion and amortization was $45.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $2.9 million, as compared to $42.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was largely associated with our operating segments in the United States (Buchanan, Logan and Greenbrier) for which depreciation expense increased by $2.1 million, predominantly due to the expiration of a credit that was previously recognized on amortization of sales contracts.

Freight Expenses

 

The amount of freight expenses was $52.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $11.1 million, as compared to $40.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Curragh’s freight costs contributed $4.4 million to this increase driven by higher sales volumes which in turn incurred higher railings and port charges. The remaining $6.7 million increase relates mainly to new sales contracts entered into at Logan and Greenbrier which include the rendering of rail and port services to certain customers.

 

Stanwell Rebate

 

The Stanwell rebate was $45.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $13.0 million, as compared to $32.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase is driven primarily from higher export sales volumes in the three months ended June 30, 2019 versus the three months ended June 30, 2018.

 

Other Royalties

 

Other royalties were $49.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $18.6 million, as compared to $67.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018.  The variance was primarily driven by a significant mark-to-market write up in the Contingent Royalty Consideration (payable to CONSOL) during the 2018 in respect of the Buchanan mine for $19.4 million due to higher forecast Met pricing at the end of June 30, 2018.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense, net of interest income, was $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $9.9 million, as compared to interest expense of $19.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease in interest expense was primarily attributable to the repayment of the $700 million term loan on October 24, 2018. The interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 includes the discount rate unwind of the Stanwell Reserved Area, or the SRA, deferred consideration liability of $4.9 million and interest and finance charges on the SFA of $3.3 million.

Coal Revenues

 

Coal revenues were $1,212.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $428.1 million, as compared to $784.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The addition of Curragh contributed $402.0 million in additional coal revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2019 that were not included within coal revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2018 given Curragh was acquired on March 29, 2018. Coal revenues for our operating segments in the United States (Buchanan, Logan and Greenbrier) of $436.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $26.7 million higher than $409.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 mainly as a result higher average realized Met coal pricing.

 

Other Revenues

 

Other revenues were $21.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $6.5 million, as compared to $15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase is predominantly related to the amortization of the Stanwell non-market CSA liability for the six months ended June 30, 2019 of $17.1 million compared to $12.6 million for the period since the acquisition of Curragh on March 29, 2018 included in the six months ended June 30, 2018.  Other revenues for our operating segments in the United States (Buchanan, Logan and Greenbrier) increased $1.1 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 $533.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $109.1 million, as compared to $424.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.  $94.5 million of the increase was attributable to a full six-month contribution in the 2019 period from Curragh compared to a partial period from acquisition on March 29, 2018 to June 30, 2018. The remaining $14.6 million increase was primarily driven by higher production costs at the Buchanan and Logan operating segments in the U.S., resulting from adverse mining conditions.  In addition, Logan began production at three new coal mines in the first half of 2019.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

 

Depreciation, depletion and amortization was $85.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $20.9 million, as compared to $64.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily a result of the addition of Curragh, which contributed $37.9 million in depreciation, depletion and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $21.9 from the date of acquisition, March 29, 2018, to June 30, 2018.

 

Freight Expenses

 

The amount of freight expenses was $89.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $44.2 million, as compared to $45.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase is primarily due to $79.2 million of Curragh related freight expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $38.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 which included Curragh only for a partial period from acquisition date of March 29, 2018 to June 30, 3018. The freight expense for our operating segments in the United States (Buchanan, Logan and Greenbrier), which predominantly sells its coal on an F.O.R basis, were $11.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $4.4 million, as compared to $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase is primarily driven by new rail and port arrangements with certain customers that did not exist in 2018 period.

 

Stanwell Rebate

 

The Stanwell rebate was $94.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $61.9 million, as compared to $32.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Curragh contribution to the Company’s result during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was only for part of the period since March 29, 2018, being the date of acquisition.

 

Other Royalties

 

Other royalties were $93.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $10.4 million, as compared to $83.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018. Curragh contributed approximately $79.1 million in other royalty expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $38.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 which only included Curragh for part of the period from March 29, 2018, the date of acquisition. This increase was in part offset by a decrease in other royalties attributable to our U.S. Operations which decreased $28.4 million. The CONSOL Energy contingent royalty increased $16.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to a $7.1 million decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2019.  This $23.5 million benefit is primarily due to average realized pricing for export sales forecast in the mark-to-market adjustment for June 30, 2018 being significantly higher than the December 31, 2017 forecast in the mark-to-market calculation.  The benefit also reflects one less year remaining in the contingent royalty period.

 

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative cost was $18.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $34.0 million, as compared to $52.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was due to specific one-off, non-recurring costs incurred in relation to the Curragh acquisition during March 2018 relating to stamp duty of $33.0 million and various professional service and legal fees of $4.7 million.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense, net of interest income, was $17.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $8.2 million, as compared to interest expense of $25.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Included within interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 is $9.7 million relating to the accretion of the deferred consideration liability recognized on the purchase of the SRA on August 14, 2018, and $4.7 million finance charges related to commitment and financial guarantee fees incurred in relation to the Syndicated Facility Agreement. This was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018, during which the Company incurred interest on a term loan established for the Curragh acquisition. This loan was repaid in full on October 24, 2018.

 

Loss on Debt Extinguishment

 

For the six months ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 2019.

Other, Net

 

Other, net income was $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $27.9 million, as compared to other, net expense $26.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This favorable variance is primarily comprised of non-recurring costs incurred for the six months ended June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 2018. The remaining difference mainly relates to foreign exchange gains or losses recognized in the translation of monetary items that were denominated in a currency different to the functional currency of operations of the Company.

Coal revenues for Curragh for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $403.7 million, an increase of $29.2 million or 7.8%, compared to $374.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was driven largely by an increase in the export met sales volumes of 0.3Mt, partially offset by a decrease in average realized met price per Mt sold of $7.0 per ton.

 

Operating costs decreased by $26.2 million, or 9.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was driven primarily by mining costs which decreased by $44.6 million as a result of: (1) the three months to June 30, 2018 included the unwind of a $21.4 million fair value adjustment recognized to coal inventories on acquisition of Curragh, which was incurred as coal was sold during the period; and (2) favorable average foreign exchange rate on translation of the Curragh operations for the three months ended June 30, 2019 of A$/US$: 0.71 versus 0.76 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Lower mining costs and higher sales volumes caused the mining cost per Mt sold for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to decrease by $17.5 per Mt sold. The decrease in mining costs were partially offset by higher freight costs of $5.5 million, driven by higher railings to port and higher export sales volumes, and higher Stanwell rebates which increased by $13.0 million due mainly to higher sales volumes.

 

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $51.6 million, or 51.6%, to $151.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $100.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, due to lower operating costs and higher coal revenues.

Coal revenue increased by $2.4 million, or 1.9%, to $128.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $126.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was driven by higher Met coal sales volumes of 0.1 MMt or 9.1%.  This was partially offset by a lower average realized price due to import tariffs on U.S. coal imposed by China during the quarter.

 

Operating costs decreased by $22.6 million, or 24.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018.  This decrease was primarily driven by the CONSOL Energy contingent royalty of $19.4 million related to the mark-to-market adjustment and one less year remaining in the contingent payment period.  Prior year reflects a significant adjustment for higher forecast export pricing related to the mark-to-market calculation.  In addition, royalty expense was lower by $1.4 million related to a higher percentage of owned production (no royalty) mined in the second quarter 2019 compared to second quarter 2018.  Additionally, mining costs decreased by $1.9 million.  The decrease in operating costs resulted in a corresponding decrease of operating cost per ton of $20.9/t for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, as there was no significant change to sales volumes when comparing the two periods.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 adjusted EBITDA improved $25.0 million, or 71%, compared to the comparative quarter.  The improvement was primarily generated by the favorable mark-to-market adjustments related to the CONSOL Energy contingent royalty and lower royalties related to mining a higher percentage of owned coal versus leased coal.  In addition, higher Met sales and lower mine costs contributed to the improved performance.  This was partially offset by lower average realized pricing related to import tariffs on U.S. coal imposed by China.

Coal revenues increased by $20.9 million, or 35.3%, to $80.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $59.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This improvement was driven by increased Met coal sales volume and a higher average realized price for high volatile coal, due to committed sales contracts and to improved sales mix.

Total operating costs increased $13.5 million, to $63.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to operating costs of $50.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.  The increase was primarily due to higher cost production at existing operations, driven by mining conditions, and production set-up costs related to three additional mines coming online in 2019.  Additionally, freight expense increased due to new sales contracts, which includes the cost of rail and port services to certain customers.  The increase in operating costs resulted in a corresponding increase of operating cost per ton of $19.3/t for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, as there was no significant change to sales volumes when comparing the two periods.

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2019 increased $7.4 million, or 69.2%, to $18.1 million, compared to $10.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.  Improved performance relates to increased demand and higher prices for high volatile coal on committed contracts.  Partially offsetting this is 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 4.3%, to $18.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $17.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was driven by higher average realized pricing, partly offset by lower sales volumes.  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 adverse geological mining conditions and equipment downtime.

 

Total operating costs at Greenbrier for the three months ended June 30, 2019, were relatively in line with total operating costs for the three months ended June 30, 2018.  However, operating costs per ton increased $39.2 per ton due to lower sales volumes and additional freight expenses driven by new rail and port arrangements with certain customers that did not exist in the comparative period.

 

Adjusted EBITDA improved $1.4 million, resulting in $1.2 million of EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to EBITDA of ($0.2) million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.  Improved performance was primarily related to increased demand for mid vol coal and higher average realized pricing.

This increase was driven by higher Met coal sales volumes which increased 0.7 MMt or 17.1%, to 4.8MMt for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to 4.1 MMt for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

 

Pro forma operating costs decreased by $19.5 million, or 3.6%, to $522.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $541.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily driven by a decrease in mining costs per

Mt sold of $42.6 per ton as compared to $55.8 per ton for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Pro forma mining cost per Mt sold was higher for the six months ended June 30, 2018 due to: (1) the unwind of a $21.4 million fair value adjustment recognized to coal inventories on acquisition of Curragh that was unwound during the three months ended June 30, 2018 as the coal was sold and (2) unplanned outages at the wash plant. The decrease in pro forma operating costs were partially offset by higher Stanwell rebates which increased by $9.0 million due mainly to higher sales volumes.

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $271.7 million, an improvement of $106.9 million (or 64.9%) over the pro forma Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2018.  Lower operating costs and higher coal revenues were two key factors that contributed to the higher Adjusted EBITDA.

Coal revenues decreased by $9.1 million, or 3.5%, to $251.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $260.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was driven by lower average realized price due to import tariffs on U.S. coal imposed by China and changes to the sales mix, partially offset by stronger pricing on domestic Met sales.

 

Total operating costs improved $25.7 million to $135.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to operating costs of $160.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.  The improvement was primarily related to the mark-to-market adjustment for the CONSOL Energy contingent royalty and mining a greater percentage of owned coal versus leased coal.  This improvement was partially offset by increased mining costs of $6.4 million due to adverse mining conditions.  The overall improvement in operating costs resulted in a corresponding improvement in operating costs per ton of $11.7/t for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018, as there was no significant change to sales volumes when comparing the two periods.

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $116.4 million, an improvement of $16.7 million (or 16.8%) over the six months ended June 20, 2018.  Lower royalties related to the CONSOL Energy contingent royalty and mining a greater percentage of owned coal versus lease coal were partially offset by higher mine costs resulting from adverse mining conditions.

Coal revenue increased by $41.0 million, or 36.4%, to $153.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $112.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was driven by a higher average realized price for high volatile coal due to higher committed contract prices, as well as improvements to the sales mix.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2019 total operating costs at Logan increased $21.5 million, or 21.6%, to $120.9 million compared to $99.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.  Mining costs increased $15.6 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 $2.9 million driven by new rail and port arrangements with certain customers that did not exist in the comparative period.  Other royalties increased $3.0 million due to higher revenues.  The increase in operating costs resulted in a corresponding increase of operating cost per ton of $15.2/t for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018, as there was no significant change to sales volumes when comparing the two periods.

 

Adjusted EBITDA improved by $19.8 million to $35.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $15.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, a 127.7% increase, as the $41.0 million increase in coal revenues more than offset the $21.5 million of increased operating costs.

Coal revenue decreased by $5.1 million, or 14.0%, to $31.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $36.7 million for the six months ended June 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 adverse geological mining conditions and equipment downtime.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, total operating costs improved by $5.3 million to $33.0 million, compared to costs of $38.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.  The improvement was primarily 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 $31.7 to $139.5, of which approximately $18/t 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 declined $1.1 million on lower sales volume to ($0.1) million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

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, we expect to generate cash from operations sufficient to meet the needs of our existing operations, service our debt obligations and fund our 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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was as follows:

Liquidity

 

As of June 30, 2019, available liquidity was $396.0 million comprising cash and cash equivalents of $46.0 million and $350.0 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.

 

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 a Syndicated Facility Agreement on September 15, 2018 providing two borrowing facilities:

 

·                  Facility A—$350 million multi-currency facility available for general working capital and corporate purposes; and

 

·                  Facility B—A$370 million bank guarantee facility.

 

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 Syndicated Facility Agreement, 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 June 30, 2019, Facility A had no borrowings outstanding, with $350 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 June 30, 2019, we had issued Bank Guarantees totaling A$268.5 million to satisfy these requirements, leaving A$101.5 million available under Facility B.

 

In addition to the above, to satisfy an obligation to provide a U.S. dollar bank guarantee to a third party, on June 12, 2019 the Company entered into a Bank Guarantee Facility Agreement with Westpac Banking Corporation with a limit of $28.6 million. At June 30, 2019 this facility was fully utilized.

 

Secured Credit Facilities Terms

 

Interest Rate

 

Borrowings under our Syndicated Facility Agreement 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 depends on the Net Debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined in the Syndicated Facility Agreement).

 

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 June 30, 2019, which was the last applicable compliance date under the SFA, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the SFA.

Dividend

 

We paid an aggregate dividend of $299.7 million on March 29, 2019 in A$ to holders of CDIs on the ASX as of March 5, 2019, based on the exchange rate on March 5, 2019.

 

Capital Requirements

 

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 and the payment of interest and dividends.

 

Historical Cash Flows

 

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, as reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements:

Operating activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $301.2 million and $141.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 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 $67.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $584.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Capital expenditure for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $66.4 million, of which $15.4 million related to Curragh and the remainder related to the U.S. Operations. Capital expenditure for our U.S. Operations was $51.0 million and $46.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Included in the cash flows in the six months ended June 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 $312.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $701.1 million of net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018. Uses of cash from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 included $299.7 million for dividends paid to the shareholders of the Company and payments of contingent royalty consideration under the Value Share Mechanism of $12.7 million. Included in the net cash provided in financing activities for the six months ended June 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 a term loan on March 29, 2018.

 

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 six months ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 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.

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 six months ended June 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 six months ended June 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:

 

 

 

June 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.

 

Depreciation, depletion and amortization was adjusted as follows:

 

 

 

June 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 .7708 was utilized. This represents the average exchange rate for the period from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018.

Table of Contents

 

(D)                               Other revenues

 

Other revenues were adjusted as follows:

 

 

 

June 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:

 

 

 

June 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:

 

 

 

June 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 June 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.

 

(G)                               Interest expense

 

Interest expense was adjusted as follows:

 

 

 

June 30, 2018

 

Eliminate intercompany interest expense(1)

 

341,702

 

Reversal of Bank of American Term Loan(2)

 

3,828

 

Recognition of DB Term Loan interest expense(3)(4)

 

(8,117

)

Amortization of DB Term Loan debt issuance costs and discount(5)

 

(1,355

)

Total pro forma adjustment to interest expense

 

336,058

 

 


(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.

 

43


Table of Contents

 

(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 six months ended June 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:

 

 

 

June 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.

 

(I)                                   Other, net

 

Other, net was adjusted as follows:

 

 

 

June 30, 2018

 

Transaction costs(1)

 

15,695

 

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 six months ended June 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. Our 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 June 30, 2019 and six months ended June, 2019 by approximately $363.3 million and $698.4 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.

 

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 June 30, 2019 was $5.6 million with respect to 9.5 million liters. Any additional fuel required will be purchased under fixed-price contracts or on a spot basis.

 

In the same period, we have entered into forward derivative contracts to purchase 93.4 million liters of diesel fuel in 2019 with respect to the fuel requirements for the Curragh operations in Australia. During the three month period ended June 30, 2019 we have entered into additional forward derivative contracts to purchase 126 million liters of diesel fuel with respect to the expected 2020 fuel requirements for Curragh. The fair value of the forward derivative contract as of June 30, 2019 was an asset of $3.6 million with respect to outstanding 173.3 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 June 30, 2019, we had $17.1 million of fixed-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 June 30, 2019, we had undrawn debt facility of $350 million with a variable interest rate of LIBOR or BBSY bid plus a margin. We intend to draw these funds for working capital requirements and general corporate purposes. A significant increase in the market interest rate following a drawdown could result in a material increase in the interest expense dependent on the amount drawn.

Table of Contents

 

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, the Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal Pty Ltd, or WICET, Terminal Handling Charge, demurrage, purchased coal and some insurance premiums). Appreciation of the A$ against US$ will increase Curragh’s US$ reported cost base and reduce US$ reported net income. Assuming we had no foreign currency hedging instruments in place, a 5% increase in the A$ to US$ exchange rate would increase reported expenses by approximately $7.9 million and $16.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and the six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

 

Under normal market conditions, we generally do not consider it necessary to hedge our exposure to this foreign exchange risk. However, there may be specific commercial circumstances, such as the hedging of significant capital expenditure, acquisitions, disposals and other financial transactions, where we may deem foreign exchange hedging as appropriate and where a US$ contract cannot be negotiated directly with suppliers and other third parties.

 

During 2018, we entered into a foreign exchange swap to hedge the exposure to fluctuations in the A$-US$ in connection with the acquisition of Curragh. At June 30, 2019, we did not have any foreign exchange contracts outstanding.

 

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.

 

We currently do not hedge our non-US$ exposures against exchange rate fluctuations.

 

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 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 June 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 June 30, 2019 and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the period ended June 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 involved in various legal proceedings from time to time in the normal course of business including proceedings related to employment matters. These liabilities do not include costs associated with legal representation, which are expensed as they are incurred. In management’s opinion, except for what is described below, we are not currently involved in any legal proceedings which, individually or in the aggregate and if determined adversely, could have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations and/or liquidity or that would otherwise be required to be disclosed herein.

 

Curragh is a co-defendant to proceedings in the Queensland Supreme Court brought by Aurizon. Aurizon’s claim relates to costs relating to the co-defendants’ use of the 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.

 

In February 2019, the Queensland Competition Authority, or QCA, issued its final decision in respect of Access Undertaking 5, or UT5. The final decision, consistent with the draft decision issued in December 2017, reduces the rate of return that can be charged by Aurizon on its network routes. The Queensland coal producers experienced material rail haulage underperformance because soon after the draft UT5 decision was handed down by the QCA, the rail track network was severely restricted due to Aurizon’s modification of its maintenance practices in order to lower costs. It is possible that Aurizon will modify its maintenance practices in the future to lower costs should similar decisions be issued by the QCA, resulting in constrained access to the rail network, making it more difficult for customers (including us) to arrange for the transportation of coal in excess of their contracted capacity entitlement and having the potential to increase demurrage costs.

 

In a constrained rail capacity and high demand environment, there is a risk that we and other users of the network will not be allocated additional access to rail above annual contracted entitlements. Should this occur, the potential impact on us is higher in the short term as our contracted access entitlement for 1.5 MMt per annum of below rail capacity to WICET is currently treated as an ad hoc entitlement. This means that, in the event of a scheduling contest with a contracted user (which could arise because of changes by Aurizon to maintenance practices or because of increased usage of the line by other customers), a path we request may not be able to be scheduled. This capacity is now expected to become the subject of a long-term access agreement as the judgment from the litigation concluded in September 2018 has been handed down and the dispute between Wiggins Island Rail Project customers and Aurizon regarding the “First Milestone Target Date” under the WIRP Deed has been finally resolved.

 

In June 2018, two holders of preference equity issued by WICET Holdings commenced legal proceedings in the Supreme Court of New South Wales against WICET Pty Ltd and WICET Holdings alleging unpaid dividends in respect of the shares held by them. Although we are not exposed directly to this litigation, an adverse finding may detrimentally impact the financial position of WICET Holdings and WICET Pty Ltd and could result in the senior lenders or a receiver appointed by them taking steps to seek to recover against the shippers (including us) whether through increased terminal handling charges or otherwise.

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. The information presented below restates the risk factor set forth 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. You should consider this risk factor together with the other risk factors and other matters described in our registration statement and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Risks related to our investment in WICET may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations .

 

We have a minority interest in WICET Holdings Pty Ltd, whose wholly owned subsidiary, WICET Pty Ltd, owns WICET. Other coal producers who export coal through WICET also hold shares in WICET Holdings Pty Ltd. In addition, we and the other coal producers (or shippers) have evergreen, ten year take-or-pay agreements with WICET Pty Ltd and pay a terminal handling charge to export coal through WICET, which is calculated by reference to WICET’s annual operating costs, as well as finance costs associated with WICET Pty Ltd’s external debt facilities, refinanced and extended in late 2018.

 

Under our take-or-pay agreement with WICET Pty Ltd, or the WICET Take-or-Pay Agreement, we are obligated to pay for that capacity via terminal handling charges, whether utilized or not. The terminal handling charge payable by us can be adjusted by WICET Pty Ltd if our share of WICET Pty Ltd’s operating and finance cost increases, due to increased operating costs or because another shipper defaults and has its capacity reduced to nil. The terminal handling charge calculation is subject to a finance cap set under the terms of the WICET Take-or-Pay Agreement and this cap has already been reached and is in force. Since WICET began shipping export tonnages in April 2015, four WICET Holdings Pty Ltd shipper-shareholders have entered administration, resulting in defaults under their take-or-pay agreements and a decrease in the aggregate contracted tonnage at WICET from 27 MMtpa to 15.5 MMtpa.

 

Given the operation of the finance cap (agreed as part of WICET’s refinance) there is a limit to the recovery by WICET of its financing costs from shippers (subject to certain review event triggers). Accordingly, prior defaults referred to above have resulted in only minor increases to the terminal handling charges payable by the remaining shipper shareholders (including us). These increases have related to higher $/ton operating costs resulting from a lower contract base. If any of the four-remaining shipper shareholders liquidates and/or defaults under its take-or-pay agreement, a review of the finance cap would be triggered and the terminal handling charges for the remaining shipper shareholders, including us, will increase as each remaining shipper effectively would be proportionately liable to pay the defaulting shipper’s share of WICET’s operating and financing costs going forward.

 

In addition, if we default under our take-or-pay agreement with WICET Pty Ltd, we might be liable for a significant termination payment. The termination payment is approximately equal to our proportion of WICET Pty Ltd’s total external debt (which is based on the proportion that our contracted tonnage bears to the total contracted tonnage at WICET when the payment obligation is triggered). We have provided security to WICET Pty Ltd in the form of a bank guarantee, the amount of which is required to cover our estimated liabilities as a shipper under the WICET Take-or-Pay Agreement for the following 12 month period.

 

Any attempt by the senior lenders for WICET Pty Ltd’s external debt, or a receiver appointed by them, to take steps to seek to recover against the shipper-shareholders (whether through increased terminal handling charges or otherwise) could materially and adversely impact our business and results of operations. If an insolvency or other event ultimately resulted in a permanent cessation of operations at WICET, we may also be required to procure additional port capacity, as well as be liable for a termination payment under our take-or-pay agreement.

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.
