Warrior Reports Second Quarter 2023 Results

Quarterly sales volumes rose 15% to 1.8 million short tons amidst softening global demand and prices

Ramped up production to 1.9 million short tons, largest since first quarter of 2021

Provides update on Blue Creek development

Warrior Met Coal, Inc. (NYSE: HCC) (“Warrior” or the “Company”) today announced results for the second quarter of 2023 reflecting the momentum in its business despite end-user demand headwinds. Warrior is the leading dedicated U.S.-based producer and exporter of high quality steelmaking coal for the global steel industry.

Warrior reported net income for the second quarter of 2023 of $82.1 million, or $1.58 per diluted share, a decrease from net income of $297.0 million, or $5.74 per diluted share, in the record setting second quarter of 2022. Adjusted net income per share for the second quarter of 2023 was $1.63 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income per share of $5.87 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2022. The Company reported Adjusted EBITDA of $130.0 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $431.2 million in the second quarter of 2022. Warrior’s quarterly sales volumes rose 15% to 1.8 million short tons and the Company ramped up production to 1.9 million short tons, the largest level of activity since the first quarter of 2021 and a strong marker of its business momentum. While Warrior experienced strong volumes, the quarter was impacted by softening steelmaking coal prices as Warrior's average net realized price decreased from an unprecedented $403.95 per short ton in the record second quarter of 2022 to $208.56 per short ton.

“As evidenced by our sales volumes, customer demand for our steelmaking coal remained strong throughout the quarter despite softening in pricing from unprecedented levels seen last year in the steelmaking coal market,” commented Walt Scheller, CEO of Warrior. “We continued to see improved performance at the McDuffie Terminal and are leveraging our efficient operational system to maximize incremental production. In addition, we adjusted work schedules during the current quarter which helped increase our production over the first quarter of 2023.”

“We are pleased to welcome back the approximately 250 eligible union-represented workers returning to work during the second quarter while we negotiate towards a new labor contract in good faith. This addition to our workforce should drive incremental production and sales volumes of approximately 500,000 short tons, primarily occurring in the second half of 2023, as reflected in our recently revised guidance,” Mr. Scheller concluded.

Operating Results

Sales volume in the second quarter of 2023 was 1.8 million short tons compared to 1.5 million short tons in the second quarter of 2022, representing a 15% increase. The 15% increase in sales volume was driven by continued improved performance by our rail transportation provider and the McDuffie Terminal, which enabled Warrior to export more product. In addition, higher production primarily due to both Mine No. 4 and Mine No. 7 operating at higher capacity levels in this quarter compared to the prior year comparable quarter, when operations at Mine No. 4 were being restarted and both Mine No. 4 and Mine No. 7 were being operated at reduced capacity. The Company produced 1.9 million short tons of steelmaking coal in the second quarter of 2023 compared to 1.7 million short tons in the second quarter of 2022, representing a 15% increase. Inventory levels increased to 760 thousand short tons at the end of June 30, 2023 from 659 thousand short tons at the end of March 31, 2023.

Additional Financial Results

Total revenues were $379.7 million for the second quarter of 2023, which compares to total revenues of $625.2 million in the second quarter of 2022. The average net selling price of the Company's steelmaking coal decreased 48% from $403.95 per short ton in the second quarter of 2022 to $208.56 per short ton in the second quarter of 2023 due to record high steelmaking coal market pricing last year.

Cost of sales for the second quarter of 2023 were $230.5 million compared to $191.1 million for the second quarter of 2022. Cash cost of sales (including mining, transportation and royalty costs) for the second quarter of 2023 were $229.0 million, or 61.7% of mining revenues, compared to $189.8 million, or 30.5% of mining revenues in the same period of 2022. Cash cost of sales (free-on-board port) per short ton increased to $128.70 in the second quarter of 2023 from $123.03 in the second quarter of 2022, primarily attributable to additional employee related costs associated with a 54% increased headcount and the impact of inflation offset partially by a decrease in the average net selling prices and its effect on Warrior's variable cost structure, primarily for wages, transportation, and royalties.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2023 were $13.2 million, or 3.5% of total revenues and were slightly higher than the same period last year due to higher employee related costs.

Depreciation and depletion expenses for the second quarter of 2023 were $30.6 million, or 8.0% of total revenues and were flat with the prior year comparable quarter. Warrior recorded net interest income of $6.2 million during the second quarter of 2023, which compares to net interest expense in the prior year of 7.2 million. Interest income earned on our cash investments in the current quarter exceeded interest expense on our outstanding notes and equipment leases.

Business interruption expenses were $3.5 million in the second quarter and were lower than the same period last year due to the end of the labor strike; however, we expect ongoing expenses with respect to legal and labor negotiations. These expenses represent non-recurring expenses for incremental safety and security, legal and labor negotiations and other expenses that are directly attributable to the ongoing labor contract negotiations.

Income tax expense was $14.5 million in the second quarter of 2023 on income of $96.6 million primarily driven by an income tax benefit for depletion expense and foreign-derived intangible income.

Cash Flow and Liquidity

The Company generated cash flows of $124.5 million from operating activities in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $329.6 million in the second quarter of 2022. Capital expenditures and mine development for the second quarter of 2023 were $147.3 million, primarily reflecting the development of the Blue Creek reserves, resulting in negative free cash flow of $22.8 million.

Net working capital, excluding cash, for the second quarter of 2023 increased by $6.8 million from the first quarter of 2023, primarily reflecting an increase in inventories due to increased production combined with lower accrued expenses.

Cash flows used in financing activities for the second quarter of 2023 were $12.3 million, primarily due to principal repayments of financing lease obligations of $8.6 million and the payment of the regular quarterly dividend totaling $3.7 million.

The Company’s total liquidity as of June 30, 2023 was $950.7 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $827.4 million and available liquidity under its existing Second Amended and Restated Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement (as amended, the “ABL Facility”) of $123.3 million, which is net of outstanding letters of credit of $8.7 million.

Capital Allocation

On July 28, 2023, our Board of Directors (the "Board") declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share, totaling approximately $3.7 million, which will be paid on August 14, 2023, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 7, 2023.

Any future special dividends or stock repurchases from excess cash flows will be at the discretion of the Board and subject to consideration of several factors including business and market conditions, future financial performance and other strategic investment opportunities. The Company will also seek to optimize its capital structure to improve returns to stockholders while allowing flexibility for the Company to pursue very selective strategic growth opportunities that can provide compelling stockholder returns.

Update on the Development of Blue Creek

More than a year after the relaunch of the Blue Creek mine development in May 2022, Warrior has initiated important and highly beneficial project scope changes that will require incremental capital expenditures over the life of the project while lowering operating costs, increasing flexibility to manage risks, and make better use of multi-channel transportation methods. Most of these scope changes are transportation and logistics-related, with additional amounts related to inflation for these changes only. They are expected to increase total capital expenditures for the Blue Creek mine by approximately $120 - $130 million over the remainder of the project development period.

Transportation Initiatives - While the Company originally planned on a single channel to transport coal from the Blue Creek mine via an overland belt to a third-party owned and operated barge loadout facility, it now plans to build a belt conveyor system to a railroad loadout to transport the majority of the coal which is expected to de-risk a single channel to market, lower operating cost and move volumes faster to the port. Warrior will also build and operate a barge loadout itself rather than utilizing a third-party provider. The Company believes that the potential economic benefits associated with this scope change should provide Warrior with an inherently robust and cost competitive outbound logistics model that will provide additional flexibility to manage alternative transportation methods. The inclusion of the benefits and incremental capital expenditures relating to these specific scope changes did not have a material impact to the project economic metrics of net present value (“NPV”) and internal rate of return.

In addition, the Company has experienced inflationary cost increases ranging from 25 to 35 percent in both operating expenses and capital expenditures for its existing mining operations since late 2021. The Company is also experiencing inflationary pressures at Blue Creek, especially in relation to labor, construction materials and certain equipment, that is expected to continue during the remainder of the project development period. As a number of key material contracts are currently being negotiated, and due to uncertainty regarding future inflation rates, the Company is not providing an estimate of the impact of inflation at this time. However, as the Company negotiates and enters into contracts for the larger project components, the Company expects that more information will become available to allow it to provide revised guidance. While cost inflation has impacted the cost side of the equation of the project economics, these inflationary pressures are expected to be offset by an inflationary increase in the long-term price assumption for steelmaking coal.

Subject to the considerations discussed above, our revised estimate of capital expenditures in 2023 for the development of the Blue Creek mine is approximately $250 to $300 million and is subject to change. The increase in 2023 capital expenditure estimate is primarily driven by change in transportation scope discussed above. The Company currently expects development spending at Blue Creek to be the highest in 2023 and 2024, with 2024 being a similar amount to 2023 that is subject to change.

The project remains on schedule with the first development tons from continuous miner units expected in the third quarter of 2024 and the longwall scheduled to start up in the second quarter of 2026.

Company Outlook

As previously disclosed, on June 12, 2023, the Company updated its guidance for the full year 2023 as indicated below.

Coal sales

7.1 - 7.7 million short tons

Coal production

6.8 - 7.4 million short tons

Cash cost of sales (free-on-board port)

$113 - $125 per short ton

Capital expenditures for existing mines

$95 - $105 million

Blue Creek project and other discretionary capital expenditures

$325 - $380 million

Mine development costs

$25 - $30 million

Selling, general and administrative expenses

$42 - $48 million

Interest income, net

$10 - $15 million

Noncash deferred income tax expense

14% - 18%

Key factors that may affect outlook include:

  • Two planned longwall moves in Q3 and one move in Q4,
  • HCC index pricing,
  • Exclusion of other non-recurring costs,
  • Terms of labor contract, and
  • Inflationary pressures.

The Company's revised guidance for its capital expenditures consists of sustaining capital spending of approximately $95 - $105 million, including regulatory and gas requirements, and capital spending of $325 - $380 million for the development of the Blue Creek reserves and other discretionary capital expenditures such as final payments on two new sets of longwall shields originally purchased in 2022, and the final 4 North bunker construction. The Company currently expects discretionary capital expenditures in 2024 to be less than 2023 and mainly consist of the development of the Blue Creek reserves, which is subject to change.

The Company's revised outlook and guidance for 2023 is subject to many risks that may impact performance, including the ongoing labor matters noted above, ongoing mechanical issues at the McDuffie Terminal at the Port of Mobile, ongoing rail transportation issues, market conditions in the steel and met coal industries and overall global economic and competitive conditions, all as more fully described under Forward-Looking Statements below.

The Company does not provide reconciliations of its outlook for cash cost of sales (free-on-board port) to cost of sales in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided for under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. The Company is unable, without unreasonable efforts, to forecast certain items required to develop the meaningful comparable Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") cost of sales. These items typically include non-cash asset retirement obligation accretion expenses, mine idling expenses and other non-recurring indirect mining expenses that are difficult to predict in advance in order to include in a GAAP estimate.

About Warrior

Warrior is a U.S.-based, environmentally and socially minded supplier to the global steel industry. It is dedicated entirely to mining non-thermal met coal used as a critical component of steel production by metal manufacturers in Europe, South America and Asia. Warrior is a large-scale, low-cost producer and exporter of premium met coal, also known as hard-coking coal (HCC), operating highly efficient longwall operations in its underground mines based in Alabama. The HCC that Warrior produces from the Blue Creek coal seam contains very low sulfur, has strong coking properties and is of a similar quality to coal referred to as the premium HCC produced in Australia. The premium nature of Warrior’s HCC makes it ideally suited as a base feed coal for steel makers and results in price realizations near the Platts Index price.

(2) Cash cost of sales (free-on-board port) is based on reported cost of sales and includes items such as freight, royalties, labor, fuel and other similar production and sales cost items, and may be adjusted for other items that, pursuant to GAAP, are classified in the Condensed Statements of Operations as costs other than cost of sales, but relate directly to the costs incurred to produce met coal. Our cash cost of sales per short ton is calculated as cash cost of sales divided by the short tons sold. Cash cost of sales (free-on-board port) is a non-GAAP financial measure which is not calculated in conformity with U.S. GAAP and should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute or superior to financial measures calculated in conformity with GAAP. We believe cash cost of sales (free-on-board port) is a useful measure of performance and we believe it aids some investors and analysts in comparing us against other companies to help analyze our current and future potential performance. Cash cost of sales (free-on-board port) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

(3) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before net interest (income) expense, income tax expense, depreciation and depletion, non-cash asset retirement obligation accretion, non-cash stock compensation expense, other non-cash accretion, mark-to-market (gain) loss on gas hedges, business interruption expenses, idle mine expenses and other income. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with GAAP, and we believe items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant to a reader in understanding and assessing our financial condition. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to net income, income from operations, cash flows from operations or as a measure of our profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA presents a useful measure of our ability to incur and service debt based on ongoing operations. Furthermore, analogous measures are used by industry analysts to evaluate our operating performance. Investors should be aware that our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

(4) Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues.

(5) Adjusted net income is defined as net income net of business interruption expenses, idle mine expenses and other income, net of tax (based on each respective period's effective tax rate). Adjusted net income is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with GAAP, and we believe items excluded from adjusted net income are significant to the reader in understanding and assessing our results of operations. Therefore, adjusted net income should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to net income under GAAP. We believe adjusted net income is a useful measure of performance and we believe it aids some investors and analysts in comparing us against other companies to help analyze our current and future potential performance. Adjusted net income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
