Peabody Reports Earnings For Quarter Ended June 30, 2020
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 5, 2020 - Peabody (NYSE: BTU) today announced its second quarter 2020 operating results, including revenues of $626.7 million; loss from continuing operations, net of income taxes of $1.55 billion; net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1.54 billion; diluted loss per share from continuing operations of $15.76; and Adjusted EBITDA1 of $23.4 million.
"Over the past quarter, we have remained committed to the health and safety of our employees and communities in which we operate, while also taking further action to improve our cost structure," said President and Chief Executive Officer Glenn Kellow. "Our U.S. thermal operations have done a tremendous job of adapting to significantly lower demand, while our seaborne operations have remained pressured by the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Continued uncertainty in global markets requires us to further improve our operating performance and ensure we have a scalable structure that can respond to market conditions in the months ahead."
Second Quarter 2020 Results
Second quarter 2020 revenues of $626.7 million reflect the impact of substantially lower shipments and weak pricing. Seaborne revenues declined $257.5 million on 48 percent lower metallurgical volumes and depressed metallurgical and thermal coal prices, largely driven by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. U.S. thermal revenues declined $234.4 million due to the closure of Kayenta in the third quarter of 2019 as well as continued weakness in natural gas prices impacting coal demand.
Twenty-eight percent lower volumes, combined with the impacts of the Kayenta Mine closure in late 2019, contributed to a 47 percent decline in depreciation, depletion, and amortization (DD&A) from the prior year to $88.3 million.
Compared to the prior year, selling and administrative (SG&A) expenses improved 35 percent, reflecting prior restructuring efforts, including headcount reductions made earlier this year. Year-to-date SG&A marks the lowest levels reported since 2003.
Peabody impaired the value of its North Antelope Rochelle Mine by $1.42 billion driven by changes in multiple assumptions, including lower long-term natural gas prices, timing of coal plant retirements and continued growth from renewable generation. These factors have contributed to the company projecting that coal's share of the U.S. generation mix will continue to be lower than prior year levels.
During the quarter, Peabody incurred $16.5 million in restructuring charges associated with headcount reductions and $12.9 million in transaction costs related to the pending PRB/Colorado joint venture. These costs have been excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.
Segment Performance
The seaborne thermal segment exported 2.5 million tons in the second quarter at an average realized price of $49.87 per short ton. The remaining 2.1 million tons were delivered under a long-term domestic supply contract. Year-to-date export thermal sales have totaled 5.1 million short tons.
Seaborne thermal segment costs per ton of $29.19 improved 5 percent compared to the prior year and 9 percent compared to the prior quarter. Second quarter costs reflect planned increases associated with the United/Wambo joint venture transition and a longwall move at Wambo Underground. These increases were offset by lower foreign exchange rates and fuel costs as well as favorable royalties and product mix.
Seaborne metallurgical shipments were significantly impacted by both demand and production constraints. Compared to the prior year, second quarter 2020 shipments of 1.1 million tons declined 48 percent, primarily at Shoal Creek and the Coppabella and Moorvale mines. Significantly lower volumes across the segment, the ongoing main line conveyor system upgrade project at Shoal Creek, pit sequencing at Moorvale, a planned dragline outage at Coppabella and the unfavorable impact of accounting for the lower net realizable value of inventory at some mines contributed to seaborne metallurgical costs rising to $120.72 per ton.
While PRB shipments declined 28 percent compared to the prior year, costs per ton improved 5 percent to $9.26 per ton as the segment continues to respond to weak industry conditions. As expected, costs per ton improved from the first quarter by $1.02 per ton, driven primarily by realizing the benefit of set room regained in the prior quarter, reducing repair and maintenance expense, increasing productivity, and optimizing blending of in-pit inventory. The segment earned 19 percent Adjusted EBITDA margins, or $2.19 per ton, in the quarter.
During the second quarter, the other U.S. thermal segment shipped 3.8 million tons and delivered 22 percent Adjusted EBITDA margins. Compared to the prior year, total segment Adjusted EBITDA declined in part due to Kayenta's prior year contribution of $35 million.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Peabody ended the second quarter with $848.5 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand and $926.1 million of available liquidity. Available liquidity decreased $261.6 million from March 31, 2020 to June 30, 2020 in part due to operational needs as well as increased collateralization of long-term obligations.
The company is undertaking a process to explore and evaluate various strategic financing alternatives. In connection with considering various options to enhance the company's financial flexibility, Peabody has made changes to its corporate structure and designated certain of its subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries under the senior notes indenture and the credit agreement. The designated subsidiaries consist primarily of the entities through which the company conducts the operations of its Wilpinjong mine. Year-to-date, Wilpinjong generated 74 percent of total seaborne thermal segment Adjusted EBITDA.
Market Update
While the global economy continues to navigate through the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the timing, scope and scale of the recovery remains uncertain. Ongoing demand uncertainty driven by idled steel capacity in Europe and the Asia-Pacific, weak overall electricity generation and the implementation of Chinese import restrictions have contributed to low seaborne coal prices.
Year-to-date through June, global steel production declined 6 percent compared to the prior year. Excluding China, global steel production for that same period fell 14 percent. As a result, demand from major metallurgical coal importing countries – excluding China – has been down year-to-date.
While China had strong year-to-date thermal coal imports through June (up 18 million tonnes), recently imposed import restrictions have begun to hamper demand. In addition, economic activity in India remains weak, driving year-to-date June imports down 20 million tonnes compared to the prior year. Other major importing countries also continue to be impacted by slower economic activity. Supply responses began to emerge in the second quarter, with Indonesia thermal coal exports down 17 million tonnes year-to-date through June. While Australian thermal coal exports have remained in line with the prior year, exports from the other major supply regions have all declined year-to-date.
U.S. thermal coal conditions remain especially challenging given weak overall electricity demand, high customer inventory levels and continued low natural gas prices. These factors have accelerated the secular decline already underway in the industry. Total U.S. electricity generation year-to-date through June was down approximately 4 percent, with coal generation falling 31 percent to 17 percent of the generation mix as natural gas and wind took market share, rising to 39 percent and 9 percent, respectively, of the generation mix.
While Peabody's mine operations were not materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic during the quarter, the company has responded to weaker demand by lowering production across its operations to meet demand.
Operational Update
The company is continuing to advance its program to reposition the cost structure of the corporate functions and mines to counter the impacts of reduced demand and low pricing. These initiatives include temporarily idling production at some mines; adjusting shift schedules to match demand; reducing the number of units in operation; offloading take-or-pay commitments; and eliminating additional positions, among other items. Major activities include the following:
- Since April, the company reduced an additional 450 positions, including contractors, across several mines, bringing total reductions across the operations and corporate and support functions to approximately 1,020 positions. Over the past 18 months, Peabody has reduced its workforce by approximately 24 percent.
- At Metropolitan, Peabody reduced approximately 34 percent of its workforce, including contractors, and scaled back production in response to weak seaborne demand.
- The company restructured the Coppabella and Moorvale mines to operate as a single mining complex, which is anticipated to result in increased efficiencies and lower costs. In addition, the mine reduced three excavators/truck and shovel units in response to challenging PCI demand.
- In addition, Peabody furloughed approximately 280 positions, including contractors, at its Wambo Underground Mine beginning in mid-June (at the conclusion of its recent longwall move) for 59 days. The company also furloughed employees during at an extended longwall move at Twentymile and shortened work schedules at several other U.S. thermal coal mines.
- Peabody reduced holding costs at North Goonyella to approximately $5 million per quarter, beginning in the third quarter of 2020.
- While work is still underway, since initiation of the program, 10 out of 17 currently owned and operated mines have demonstrated improvements in cost per ton when comparing second quarter 2020 results to full-year 2019 results, despite significant volume declines.
In addition, the company continues to weigh its strategic development alternatives while the North Goonyella commercial process is advancing. The pending PRB/Colorado joint venture with Arch also continues to progress through the court system, with an expected ruling by the end of the third quarter of 2020.
Outlook
Given continued uncertainties with respect to COVID-19, including the duration, severity, scope, and necessary government actions to limit the spread, Peabody is continuing its suspension of full-year 2020 guidance targets.
Based on current customer nominations, Peabody has the following sales priced for delivery in 2020:
- 87 million tons of PRB coal priced at an average price of $11.36 per ton, implying 46 million tons to be delivered in the second half of 2020.
- 18 million tons of other U.S. thermal coal priced at an average price of $36 per ton, implying 9 million tons to be delivered in the second half of 2020.
- 7.2 million tons of seaborne thermal coal priced at an average price of $58 per short ton, implying 2.1 million of already priced tons to be delivered in the second half of 2020.
Ultimately, deliveries will be dependent on general economic conditions, weather, natural gas prices and other factors. Peabody continues to closely monitor volumes and is aggressively protecting its contractual rights.
The company remains focused on preserving cash and operational liquidity during these challenging times. Full-year SG&A expense is now expected to be approximately $110 million, while 2020 capital expenditures have been reduced to $200 million. The company is maintaining full compliance with all regulatory reclamation requirements, but given operational sequencing is lowering its 2020 ARO cash spend to $50 million. While Peabody now expects lower SG&A, capital and ARO expenditures, further action is required. The company remains committed to repositioning its cost structure in light of reduced demand and lower pricing.

| (1) | We recorded a $125.0 million insurance recovery during the six months ended June 30, 2019 related to losses incurred at our North Goonyella Mine. Of this amount, Adjusted EBITDA excludes an allocated amount applicable to total equipment losses recognized at the time of the insurance recovery settlement, which consisted of $24.7 million and $66.4 million recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018, respectively. The remaining $33.9 million, applicable to incremental costs and business interruption losses, is included in Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2019. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| (2) | Adjusted EBITDA is defined as (loss) income from continuing operations before deducting net interest expense, income taxes, asset retirement obligation expenses and depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is also adjusted for the discrete items that management excluded in analyzing each of our segment's operating performance as displayed in the reconciliation above. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management as the primary metric to measure each of our segment's operating performance. We have retrospectively modified our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude restructuring charges and transaction costs related to joint ventures as management does not view these items as part of our normal operations. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| (3) | Total Reporting Segment Costs is defined as operating costs and expenses adjusted for the discrete items that management excluded in analyzing each of our segment's operating performance as displayed in the reconciliation above. Total Reporting Segment Costs is used by management as a metric to measure each of our segment's operating performance. We have retrospectively modified our calculation of Total Reporting Segment Costs to exclude restructuring charges as management does not view this item as part of our normal operations. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| (4) | Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less net cash used in investing activities and excludes cash outflows related to business combinations. Free Cash Flow is used by management as a measure of our financial performance and our ability to generate excess cash flow from our business operations. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
