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 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC and the Australian Securities Exchange, or the ASX, on February 24, 2020.

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, 2019 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheet at that date. The Company’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

COVID-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, was reported to have emerged in Wuhan, China and subsequently spread to other countries, including the United States and Australia. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 a pandemic resulting in federal, state and local governments and private entities implementing various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders and advisories and quarantining of people who may have been exposed to COVID-19. Accordingly, the Company has taken action to protect at risk employees from COVID-19 at its operations and corporate offices by implementing preventative measures such as social distancing and strict hygiene protocols which may have some impact on operating efficiencies and costs.

In response to the COVID-19 induced economic downturn in Europe, Brazil and the United States, effective March 30, 2020, the Company temporarily idled its operations in the United States, or U.S. Operations, with the exception of running the Buchanan longwall in a limited capacity. The Company continues to make shipments to its customers from existing inventories which should allow the Company to meet all current customer contractual commitments as well as deliver on potential new sales opportunities. The Company has also furloughed all hourly employees at its U.S. Operations. The Company continues to monitor developments, including government requirements and recommendations at the international, national, state and local level to evaluate the duration for which the U.S. Operations will remain idle.

In Australia, the Curragh mine is expected to continue to operate and meet the metallurgical coal export requirements of its key customers in India, Japan, Korea and Europe. The Curragh mine also continues to satisfy its obligation, under a long-term contract, by supplying coal to the Stanwell Power Station, a Queensland government owned entity.

In response to the global impacts of COVID-19 on the demand for steel and the resulting impact on the price and demand for metallurgical coal, the Company has taken steps to safeguard its operations, strengthen its balance sheet and increase liquidity by reducing capital expenditures, implementing the sale of non-core equipment and managing operating costs in a disciplined manner. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $95.0 million undrawn and available limit under the SFA and cash of $18 million. See Note 12 “Interest Bearing Liabilities”.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, the Company cannot currently predict the extent of this pandemic, which could have a material adverse impact to its business, results of operations and financial condition.

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, 2019 included in Coronado Global Resources Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC and ASX on February 24, 2020.

(a)Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

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.

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13. The cumulative-effect adjustment upon adoption was not material to the Company’s results of operations and its cash flows. Changes to the Company’s accounting policies as a result of adoption are discussed below.

The Company assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit loss associated with its financial assets carried at amortized cost. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument. The Company recognizes the lifetime expected credit losses for financial assets carried at amortized cost. The expected credit losses on these financial assets are estimated based on the Company’s historic credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the financial asset, general economic conditions, financial asset type, term and an assessment of both the current as well as forecast conditions at the reporting date.

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.

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2018-13. 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 were applied prospectively for only the most recent interim period presented. All other amendments were applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, which eliminates step two from the goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value up to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2017-04. Changes to the Company’s accounting policies as a result of adoption are discussed below.

Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for impairment annually or when circumstances or other events indicate that impairment may have occurred.

The Company makes a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. Circumstances that are considered as part of the qualitative assessment and could trigger a quantitative impairment test include but are not limited to: a significant adverse change in the business climate; a significant adverse legal judgment; adverse cash flow trends; an adverse action or assessment by a government agency; unanticipated competition; and a significant restructuring charge within a reporting unit. If a quantitative assessment is determined to be necessary, the Company compares the fair value of a reporting unit with it carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its fair value to the extent of the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

The Company defines reporting units at the business unit level. For purposes of testing goodwill for impairment, goodwill has been allocated to the reporting units to the extent it relates to each reporting unit.

(b) Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented

“Income Taxes - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” - In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2019-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

(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 four reportable segments into the current two reportable segments discussed in Note 3 “Segment information”. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net income.

3.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 four coal mine complexes: Curragh, Buchanan, Logan and Greenbrier. Commencing on January 1, 2020, the Company updated its reportable segments to be the country in which they operate, that is Australia and the United States, in order to align with the manner in which its Chief Operating Decision Maker, or CODM, views the Company’s business for purposes of reviewing performance and allocating resources.

Factors affecting and differentiating the financial performance of each of these two reporting segments generally include coal quality, geology, and coal marketing opportunities, mining and transportation methods and regulatory issues. This is the basis on which internal financial and operational reports are currently prepared and provided to the CODM and reflects how the CODM manages performance and determines allocation of resources within the Company. 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. Comparative disclosures have been restated to a consistent basis.

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 and other foreign exchange losses. “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.

5. Trade and related party receivables

The Company extends trade credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business. Trade receivables and related party receivables are recorded initially at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost, less any expected credit losses, or ECL. Trade receivables from provisionally priced sales are carried at fair value to profit or loss.

For trade and related party receivables carried at amortized cost, the Company determines ECL on a forward-looking basis. The amount or ECL is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument. The Company recognizes the lifetime ECL. The ECL is estimated based on the Company’s historic credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the financial asset, general economic conditions, financial asset type, term and an assessment of both the current as well as forecast conditions at the reporting date, modified for credit enhancements such as letters of credit obtained. To measure ECL, trade and related party receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risks characteristics and the days past due.

The Company considers an event of default has occurred when a financial asset is significantly past due or external sources indicate that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, including the Company. A financial asset is credit impaired when there is evidence that the counterparty is in significant financial difficulty or a breach of contract, such as default or past due event has occurred. The Company writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating the counterparty is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive income within “other, net”. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credit against “other, net” in the consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive income.

10.Leases

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.

On March 31, 2020, the Company amended one of its mining service contracts for mining equipment assets used to provide mining services. On execution of the amendment, right of use assets of $25.9 million and lease liabilities of $27.0 million were derecognized. These mining equipment assets were previously deemed leased assets embedded within the mining service contract.

11.Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 2020 estimated annual effective tax rate, including discrete items, is 26.1%. The Company had income tax expense of $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, comprising a discrete income tax expense of $3.8 million and income tax benefit of $1.5 million based on a loss before tax of $6.6 million.

Income tax expense of $42.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was calculated based on an estimated annual effective tax rate of 28.5% for the period.

The Company utilizes the “more likely than not” standard in recognizing a tax benefit in its financial statements. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had $14.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits, respectively. If accrual for interest or penalties is required, it is the Company’s policy to include these as a component of income tax expense.

The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and its various states, as well as Australia and its various localities. In the United States and Australia, the first tax return was lodged for the year ended 31 December 2018. In the United Stated companies are subject to open tax audits for a period of 7 years (Federal) and 5 years (State) respectively. In Australia, companies are subject to open tax audits for a period of 4 years from the date of assessment.

On March 27, 2020, the United States Congress enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, to provide certain relief as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. The Company is currently evaluating how provisions in the CARES Act will impact on its consolidated financial statements, but it is not expected to have a material impact.

12.Interest Bearing Liabilities

The Company’s SFA, comprises of Facility A ($350 million loan facility), Facility B (A$130 million bank guarantee facility) and Facility C ($200 million loan facility). The SFA has a termination date of February 15, 2023.

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

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company borrowed a total amount of $145.0 million under the SFA for working capital and corporate purposes. Repayments of $20.0 million were made during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The total interest bearing liabilities outstanding under the SFA was $455.0 million and $ 330.0 million as at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

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 at 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.

16.Derivatives and Fair Value Measurement

(a)Derivatives

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

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

Forward fuel contracts

In 2019, the Company entered into forward derivative contracts to hedge its exposure to diesel fuel for the diesel fuel that is used, or expects to use, at its operations in Australia, or Australian Operations, during 2020. During the three month period ended March 31, 2020, the Company entered into additional derivative contracts in relation to diesel fuel it expects to consume at its Australian Operations during 2021. The aggregate notional amount for all outstanding forward diesel fuel derivative contracts were $97.8 million at March 31, 2020.

Unrealized losses, net of tax, recognized in “Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss)” as at March 31, 2020, are expected to be recognized into “Cost of coal revenues” in the Unaudited Condensed Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, $23.4 million within the next 12 months and $7.8 million within 9 months thereafter.

Forward foreign currency contracts

The Australian Operations utilize the cash it generates from its US$ denominated coal sales revenue to fund its operating costs, which are predominantly in A$. The Company enters into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge its foreign exchange exposure on a portion of the US$ denominated coal sales revenue at Curragh, whose functional currency is A$.

The aggregated notional amount of the outstanding forward foreign currency derivative contracts was $114.7 million as at March 31, 2020. The unrealized loss of $11.1 million, net of tax, recognized in “Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss)” at March 31, 2020, is expected to be recognized into “Coal revenues” in the Unaudited Condensed Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income within the next 9 months.

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

The fair value of foreign currency and diesel fuel derivatives reflected in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet are set forth in the table below:

(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 March 31, 2020, the Company has the following liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

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

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

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

(b)Other commitments

As of March 31, 2020, purchase commitments for capital expenditures were $20.2 million, all of which is obligated within the next 12 months.

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 March 31, 2020, these Australian and U.S. commitments under take-or-pay arrangements totaled $1.6 billion, of which approximately $77.4 million is obligated within the next year.

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$130 million for issuing multicurrency bank guarantees. At March 31, 2020, Facility B of the SFA had been utilized to issue A$68.8 million of bank guarantees on behalf of the Company.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Curragh is a co-appellant to proceedings in the Queensland Supreme Court brought by Aurizon. Aurizon’s claim relates to costs relating to the co-defendants’ use of the Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal Pty Ltd, or WICET, rail links, in particular, whether the “First Milestone Target Date”, which triggers certain “WIRP Fee” payments under the Wiggins Island Rail Project Deed, or WIRP Deed, has been achieved. On June 27, 2019, the Queensland Supreme Court delivered judgements in favor of Aurizon against Coronado Curragh Pty Ltd and the other co-defendants. The Company intends to continue to strongly contest the matter. The Company, together with the other co-defendants, lodged a notice of appeal of the Queensland Supreme Court judgement on July 25, 2019. It is currently expected that, were Aurizon successful in the ultimate result of the litigation and expert determinations, Coronado Curragh Pty Ltd would be required to pay approximately A$2.3 million per annum for the term of the WIRP Deed (which is 233 months). Resolution of this dispute would also result in the Company’s below rail access to WICET (of 1.5 MMtpa) becoming a firm contractual capacity entitlement (and the subject of a 20 year take-or-pay access agreement) instead of an ad hoc entitlement only. The Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet includes an estimated loss contingency associated with these proceedings of approximately $5.2 million as at March 31, 2020.

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.

Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Coronado Global Resources Inc. (the Company) as of March 31, 2020, the related condensed consolidated statements of operation and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “condensed consolidated interim financial statements”). Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

The consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (not presented herein) were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 24, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial information of the Company for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, was not reviewed by us, and accordingly, we do not express any form of assurance on it.

 

Basis for Review Results

These financial statements are 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 SEC and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial statements 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.

CAUTIONARY NOTICE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, concerning our business, operations, financial performance and condition, the coal, steel and other industries, the effect of COVID-19 and related governmental and economic responses thereto, 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,” “likely,” “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.

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

Our business profile primarily focuses on the production of Met coal for the North American and seaborne export markets. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we produced and sold 4.5 MMt of coal. Met coal and thermal coal sales represented approximately 81.0% and 19.0%, respectively, of our total volume of coal sold for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Our results for the three months ended March 31, 2020, were impacted by (1) a fatal injury to an employee of one of our contractors at our Australian Operation and subsequent temporary suspension of mining activities during January and February which resulted in reduced production and consequently lower sales volumes, (2) wet weather conditions in Australia which disrupted certain mining and logistics activities, (3) the delay in resolution of United States and China trade dispute, and (4) preventive measures implemented towards the end of the quarter in response to COVID-19, which had an impact on operating efficiencies across all operations and subsequent decision to temporarily idle the U.S. Operations, effective March 30, 2020. Despite these adverse conditions, our results benefited from cost and capital expenditure control measures across the platform, and in part from a weakening of the Australian dollar, the currency in which most costs are denominated for our Australian Operation.

Earnings from our Australian Operations located in Queensland were impacted by the safety incident and adverse weather during the quarter, resulting in production and sales volumes being lower for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to the first quarter of 2019. Coal sales volumes decreased 0.5 Mmt, or 16.1% compared to the prior corresponding quarter. Lower sales volumes combined with lower average realized prices per Mt resulted in a reduction in coal revenues by 35.9% compared to the prior comparative quarter. Mining cost and Operating costs per ton increased as a result of lower production and sales due to the safety incident and wet weather in the period compared to the prior comparative quarter.

Our U.S. Operations’ financial performance for the quarter was lower compared to the prior corresponding quarter with the decrease largely attributable to lower average realized pricing and the impacts of COVID-19 affecting customer demand and mining operations as preventative measures were put in place. The U.S. Operations reported lower sales volumes of 0.1 MMt, or 5.0% less than the prior corresponding quarter. A combination of lower sales volumes and soft market pricing in the quarter negatively impacted the U.S. Operations results. However, continued cost management efforts realized a reduction in mining costs per ton compared to the prior comparative quarter.

COVID-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, was reported to have emerged in Wuhan, China and subsequently spread to other countries, including the United States and Australia. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 a pandemic resulting in federal, state and local governments and private entities implementing various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders and advisories and quarantining of people who may have been exposed to COVID-19. Accordingly, the Company has taken action to protect at risk employees from COVID-19 at its operations and corporate offices by implementing preventative measures such as social distancing and strict hygiene protocols which may have some impact on operating efficiencies and costs.

In response to the COVID-19 induced economic downturn in Europe, Brazil and the United States, effective March 30, 2020, the Company temporarily idled its operations in the United States, or U.S. Operations, with the exception of running the Buchanan longwall in a limited capacity. The Company continues to make shipments to its customers from existing inventories which should allow the Company to meet all current customer contractual commitments as well as deliver on potential new sales opportunities. The Company has also furloughed all hourly employees at its U.S. Operations. The Company continues to monitor developments, including government requirements and recommendations at the international, national, state and local level to evaluate the duration for which the U.S. Operations will remain idle.

In Australia, the Curragh mine is expected to continue to operate and meet the metallurgical coal export requirements of its key customers in India, Japan, Korea and Europe. The Curragh mine also continues to satisfy its obligation, under a long-term contract, by supplying coal to the Stanwell Power Station, a Queensland government owned entity.

Coronado Global Resources Inc. Form 10-Q March 31, 202024


Table of Contents

 

In response to the global impacts of COVID-19 on the demand for steel and the resulting impact on the price and demand for metallurgical coal, the Company has taken steps to safeguard its operations, strengthen its balance sheet and increase liquidity by reducing capital expenditures, implementing the sale of non-core equipment and managing operating costs in a disciplined manner.

Due to the impact of COVID-19, we expect our results of operations for fiscal year 2020 to be significantly below our historical performance. As a result of the continued uncertainty of the impact of COVID-19, we will not be providing any further market guidance for fiscal year 2020.

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

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, on a quarterly basis or annual fixed price contracts.

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) total sales volumes and average realized price per Mt sold, which we define as total coal revenues divided by total 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 mining costs divided by sales volumes for the respective segment; and (v) average segment operating costs per Mt sold, which we define as segment operating costs divided by sales volumes for the respective segment.

Coal revenues are shown on our statement of operations and comprehensive income exclusive of other revenues. Generally, export sale contracts for our Australian Operations require us to 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. Sales to the export market from our U.S. Operations are generally recognized when title to the coal passes to the customer at the mine load out similar to a domestic sale. 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 includes references to and analysis of Adjusted EBITDA and mining costs, which are financial measures 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.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, depletion and amortization and other foreign exchange losses. 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.

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 Adjusted 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.

Mining costs, a non-GAAP measure, is based on reported cost of coal revenues, which 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, adjusted for other items that do not relate directly to the costs incurred to produce coal at mine. Mining costs excludes these cost components as our CODM does not view these costs as directly attributable to the production of coal. Mining costs is used as a supplemental financial measure by management, providing an accurate view of the costs directly attributable to the production of coal at our mining segments, and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, industry analysts and ratings agencies, to assess our mine operating performance in comparison to the mine operating performance of other companies in the coal industry.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

Summary

The financial and operational highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2020:

Sales volume totaled 4.5 MMt for the three months ended March 31, 2020, 0.5 MMt lower than the three months ended March 31, 2019. Sales volumes were impacted by reduced production due to the operational shutdown in response to fatality in January 2020 and increased wet weather at our Australian Operations.

Net income decreased by $105.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from $96.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, generating a net loss of $8.9 million for the quarter. This decrease was attributable to lower coal sales revenues partially offset by lower operating costs and lower income tax expense.

Lower coal market prices during the three months ended March 31, 2020 resulted in lower average realized Met coal pricing of $102.0 per Mt sold, 25.6% lower compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2020, totaled $45.4 million, a decrease of $137.7 million, from Adjusted EBITDA of $183.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Cash used in operating activities was $60.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of $201.5 million compared to cash generated from operating activities of $141.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company paid dividends of $24.2 million, which was funded by available cash and external borrowings. As at March 31, 2020 the company had $455.0 million of external borrowings outstanding.

As of March 31, 2020, Coronado had cash on hand of $18.2 million (excluding restricted cash) and $95.0 million available to draw under the SFA.

Coal Revenues

Coal revenues were $399.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of $182.2 million, compared to $581.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This decrease was driven by lower coal sales volumes and a lower average realized Met coal price during the 2020 period. Coal sales volumes at our Australian Operations were down 0.5 MMt, as a result of reduced production stemming from the temporary suspension of mining activities at the Curragh mine during January and February following the safety incident, where an employee of one of our contractors was fatally injured in early January. Lower sales volumes were exacerbated by lower average realized Met coal pricing which was reduced by $35.1 per Mt sold compared to $137.1 per Mt sold as of March 31, 2019 due to softer market conditions and falling index prices.

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

Cost of coal revenues comprise 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 were $256.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of $12.7 million, or 4.8%, as compared to $269.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 largely driven by cost control measures implemented at the U.S. Operations. Although cost of coal revenues for our Australian Operation remained consistent, mining cost per Mt sold of $54.3 per ton was 19.3% higher compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, impacted by lower sales volumes due to the lower production.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

Depreciation, depletion and amortization was $45.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $5.5 million, as compared to $39.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase is largely attributable to the incremental capital expenditure incurred during the 2019 year and the associated depreciation charges, partially offset by favorable average foreign exchange rate on the translation of the Australian operations of A$/US$: 0.66 compared to 0.71 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.

Freight Expenses

Freight expenses primarily relate to the Australian operations and relate to costs associated with take-or-pay commitments for rail and port providers and demurrage costs. Freight expenses totaled $42.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $5.1 million, as compared to $37.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase primarily related to the U.S. Operations where higher freight expenses were incurred on a certain contract that did not exist for the three months period ended March 31, 2019. Higher demurrage costs in the Australian Operations were also incurred in the quarter as a result of longer vessel wait times at the port due to the disruptions in production.

Stanwell Rebate

The Stanwell rebate was $32.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of $16.2 million, as compared to $48.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease was largely driven by lower realized coal pricing during the first quarter of 2020, lower sales volumes and a favorable average foreign exchange rate on translation of the A$ denominated Australian Operations compared to the same period in 2019.

Other Royalties

Other royalties were $24.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of $20.1 million, as compared to $44.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019. Lower royalties were a product of lower average realized export pricing, a favorable average foreign exchange rate for the quarter used to translate the Australian Operations and the benefit of a mark to mark write down of the Contingent Royalty Consideration obligation (payable to CONSOL) during the three months ended March 31, 2020 of $1.1 million compared to $6.4 million write up for the same period in 2019.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net of $12.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, increased $4.1 million, as compared to $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The higher interest expense in 2020 was due to increase draw down of debt in the last 12 months with $455.0 million interest-bearing liabilities outstanding as at March 31, 2020 compared to $84.0 million outstanding as at March 31, 2019.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense of $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, decreased $39.7 million, as compared to $42.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The 2020 income tax expense is based on an effective tax rate, including discrete items, of 26.1%. The Company had income tax expense of $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, comprising a discrete income tax expense of $3.8 million and income tax benefit of $1.5 million based on a loss before tax of $6.6 million.

Coal revenues for Australian Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020, were $238.5 million, a decrease of $133.7 million or 35.9%, compared to $372.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This decrease was largely driven by a decrease in sales volumes of 0.5Mt due to reduced production stemming from the temporary suspension of operations at the Curragh Mine following January’s safety incident, further exacerbated by wet weather impacts, poor rail performance and scheduling issues with the provider, in addition to a decrease in average realized met coal pricing by $33.1 per Mt sold.

Operating costs decreased by $31.2 million, or 11.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, partly mitigating the impacts from lower revenue. Although Mining costs for our Australian Operation remained consistent, Mining cost per Mt sold of $54.3 per ton was 19.3% higher compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, impacted by lower sales volumes due to lower production given temporary suspension of operations and slow ramp up to full operations following the safety incident in January 2020 at Curragh. In addition, Royalties and Stanwell rebate were down mainly due to lower realized coal pricing during the first quarter of 2020. Lower Operating costs also include the benefit of a favorable average foreign exchange rate on translation of the A$ denominated Australian Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 of A$/US$: 0.66 compared to 0.71 for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $107.1 million, or 89.1%, to $13.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $120.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, due to lower coal revenues partly mitigated by lower operating costs.

Coal revenues decreased by $48.5 million, or 23.1%, to $161.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $209.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This decrease was driven by lower average realized Met coal pricing of $30.4 per Mt sold which was a result of softer market conditions and a decline in the benchmark coking coal market partially offset by an increase in Met coal sales volume of 0.2 MMt as import tariffs on U.S. coal imposed by China were eased.

Operating costs decreased by $12.7 million, or 9.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to operating costs of $138.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease was due to lower mining costs of $13.8 million, or 10.6% and lower royalty expenses. The decrease in mining costs was primarily driven by lower sales volume of 0.1 MMt combined with implemented cost control measures which resulted in a reduction in mining costs of $6.2 per Mt sold. Lower royalties were a product of lower average realized export pricing, partially offset by a lower mark to market write down of the Contingent Royalty Consideration obligation (payable to CONSOL) during the three months ended March 31, 2020 of $1.1 million compared to $6.4 million write down for the same period in 2019.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 adjusted EBITDA decreased by $33.8 million, or 46.9%, compared to the comparative quarter. This decrease was primarily driven by softer market conditions resulting in a lower average realized met coal price per Mt sold and lower coal revenues of $48.5 million which was partially offset by lower operating costs of $12.7 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

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

Our main uses of cash have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, the funding of our operations, working capital and capital expenditure and debt service obligations. Based on our outlook for the next 12 months, which is subject to continued changing demand from our customers, volatility in coal prices and the uncertainty of impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy, we believe expected cash generated from operations together with available borrowing facilities, will be sufficient to meet the needs of our existing operations and service our debt obligations.

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 this document and in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC and ASX on February 24, 2020. Over time, we may seek additional funding from a range of sources to diversify our funding sources. In addition, continued disruption in credit markets, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise, may make it difficult for us to obtain financing on acceptable terms.

Liquidity as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was as follows:

Liquidity

As of March 31, 2020, available liquidity was $113.2 million comprising cash and cash equivalents of $18.2 million and $95.0 million of available borrowing facilities. As of December 31, 2019, available liquidity was $246.3 million comprising cash and cash equivalents of $26.3 million and $220.0 million of available borrowing facilities.

We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, trade and related party receivables, internally generated funds and our credit facilities, described in Note 12 “Interest Bearing Liabilities” of Notes to unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, are adequate to meet our operating needs over fiscal year 2020, subject to uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic discussed above.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has taken several steps to further strengthen its financial position, and maintain financial liquidity and flexibility, including, reviewing operating and corporate expenditure, reducing capital expenditures and ensuring sufficient available liquidity under the revolving credit facilities.

Cash

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

Secured Credit Facilities

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

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

Facility B — A$130 million multicurrency bank guarantee facility; and

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

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

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

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

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

At March 31, 2020, Facility A was fully utilized and Facility C had $105.0 million drawn, with $95.0 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 March 31, 2020, we had issued multicurrency Bank Guarantees totaling A$68.8 million to satisfy these requirements, leaving A$61.2 million available under Facility B.

Secured Credit Facilities Terms

Interest Rate

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

Financial Covenants

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

Each financial covenant is calculated with reference to the definitions contained in the SFA.

Dividend

During the three months to March 31, 2020 we paid $24.2 million of dividends to stockholders and CDI holders on the ASX.

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 three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, as reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements:

Operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $60.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and cash provided by operating activities was $141.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in cash from operating activities was primarily due to the decline in revenues in the period partially offset by lower operating costs.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $41.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $28.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Capital expenditure for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $41.4 million, of which $5.9 million related to the Australian Operations and the remaining $35.5 million related to the U.S. Operations. Included in the capital expenditure for the U.S. Operations was an acquisition of new reserves of $6.0 million.

As a result of weak market conditions and the uncertainty surrounding the length and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are focused on reducing our expected cost and capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal year 2020.

Financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $97.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $225.4 million of net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Included in the net cash provided in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020, was proceeds from borrowings of $145.0, repayment of borrowings of $20.0 million, and $24.2 million for dividends paid to the shareholders of the Company.

Uses of cash from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 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 $7.0 million. The Company borrowed $84.0 million to fund the distribution to shareholders.

Contractual Obligations

There were no material changes to our contractual obligations from the information previously provided in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC and ASX on February 24, 2020.

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 Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC and ASX on February 24, 2020.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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

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

We may use derivative financial instruments such as forward fixed price commodity contracts, 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC and ASX on February 24, 2020.

Sales commitments in the metallurgical coal market are typically not long-term in nature, and we are therefore subject to fluctuations in market pricing. Certain coal sales in our Australian Operations are provisionally priced initially. Provisionally priced sales are those for which price finalization, referenced to the relevant index, is outstanding at the reporting date. The final sales price is determined within 7 to 90 days after delivery to the customer. At March 31, 2020, there were $4.2 million of outstanding provisionally priced sales. If prices were to decrease 10%, provisionally priced sales would decrease by $0.4 million. See item 1A. “Risk Factors—Our profitability depends upon the prices we receive for our coal. Prices for coal are volatile and can fluctuate widely based upon a number of factors beyond our control” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC and ASX on February 24, 2020.

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.

The fuel required for our U.S. Operations in fiscal year 2020 will be purchased under fixed-price contracts on a spot basis. For our Australian Operations, we have entered into forward derivative contracts to purchase 241.3 million liters of diesel fuel with respect to our fuel requirements at Curragh in 2020 and 2021. The fair value of the forward derivative contracts as of March 31, 2020 was a liability of $31.2 million.

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 March 31, 2020, we had $6.3 million of fixed-rate borrowings and $455.0 million of variable-rate borrowings outstanding. As discussed in Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Liquidity,” as of March 31, 2020, the drawn debt facility of $455.0 million incurred a variable interest rate of LIBOR or BBSY bid plus a margin. As of March 31, 2020, a 10% increase in the market interest rate on our variable-rate borrowings of $455.0 million would increase our annual interest expense by $0.6 million. We currently do not hedge against interest rate fluctuations.

Coronado Global Resources Inc. Form 10-Q March 31, 202035


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, some port handling charges, demurrage, purchased coal and some insurance premiums).

The Company entered into forward exchange contracts to hedge a portion of its foreign currency exposure of the Curragh operations by selling US$ generated from export coal sales revenue at Curragh and purchasing A$ required to settle Curragh’s A$ operating costs. The fair value of the forward derivative contracts as of March 31, 2020 was a liability of $11.1 million.

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

For the unhedged portion of US$ required to purchase A$ to settle Curragh’s operating costs, a 10% increase in the A$ to US$ exchange rate would increase reported total costs and expenses by approximately $17.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

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

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We are not currently required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and are therefore not required to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for that purpose. We will not be required to submit a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm until our second annual report on Form 10-K, which will be for fiscal year 2020, in accordance with the transition period established by the rules of the SEC for newly registered companies.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Group 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 March 31, 2020, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three months period ended March 31, 2020, 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.

We are subject to various legal and regulatory proceedings. For a description of our significant legal proceedings refer to Note 19. “Contingencies” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report, which information is incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Except as set forth below, there were no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC and ASX on February 24, 2020:

Our business, financial condition and results of operations have been, and will continue to be, adversely affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

In December 2019, COVID-19 was reported to have emerged in Wuhan, China and subsequently spread to other countries, including the United States and Australia. The pandemic is a global health crisis that has significantly affected the economies of numerous countries. The full impact of COVID-19 is unknown and rapidly evolving.

Our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations have been, and will continue to be, adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, in response to the COVID-19 induced economic downturn in Europe, Brazil and the United States, effective March 30, 2020, we temporarily idled our U.S. Operations. Our profitability and the value of our coal reserves depend upon the prices we receive for our coal, which are largely dependent on prevailing market prices. Measures taken to address and limit the spread of the disease—such as stay-at-home orders, social distancing guidelines, and travel restrictions—have adversely affected the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that has negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact, global demand and prices for coal, as well as a widespread increase in unemployment that is expected to have a flow on impact of further reduction in demand and prices for coal. These conditions may lead to extreme volatility of coal prices, severely limited liquidity and credit availability and declining valuations of assets, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

Although it is not possible to predict the ultimate impact of COVID-19, including on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial positions, such impacts that may be material include, but are not limited to: (i) lower demand for our coal, (ii) impacts of rapidly-changing governmental and public health directives to contain and combat the pandemic, (iii) increased credit risk, including the risk of nonpayment or insolvency from key customers, (iv) increased operational risks as a result of remote work arrangements, including the potential effects on internal controls, as well as cybersecurity risks and increased vulnerability to security breaches, information technology disruptions and other similar events, (v) delays and disruptions in the availability of and timely delivery of raw materials and equipment used in our operations, as well as increased costs for such materials and equipment, and (vi) hampering our ability to access funds from financial institutions and the capital markets.

The COVID-19 pandemic may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, including, but not limited to, those relating to: coal prices; economic and market conditions; decreases in coal consumption; our reliance on several key customers, our ability to fund necessary capital expenditures; disruptions in the availability of mining and other industrial supplies; changes in purchasing patterns of our customers and their effects on our coal supply agreements; our ability to access the capital markets and obtain financing and insurance upon favorable terms; among others.

Any resulting medium to long term financial impact cannot be estimated reasonably at this time, but may materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. The extent to which COVID-19 affects our results is highly uncertain and will depend on future developments, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic and the response to contain it.

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 in the United States 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.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
