Q4 FY
------------------------- -------------------------
2011 2010 2011 2010
------------ ------------ ------------ ------------
Revenue $700 million $401 million $2.6 billion $1.6 billion
Operating Income
(millions) $137 $145 $559 $594
Net Income (millions) $84 $92 $349 $386
EPS - Diluted $1.34 $1.72 $5.76 $7.18
EBITDA (millions)* $207 $171 $822 $693
Met Coal Sales (MMTs) 2.4 1.5 8.7** 6.3
*Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
**Excludes first quarter 2011 pre-acquisition met coal sales of
approximately 1 million metric tons (MMTs) from Western Coal.
'Walter Energy delivered solid growth in 2011 growing revenue by almost $1 billion and earning a record EBITDA of $822 million,' said Walt Scheller, Chief Executive Officer. 'We completed a major met coal acquisition of Western Coal, which is contributing to significant sales growth, greater global diversification and the broadening of our portfolio of mining assets. For 2012, we remain well-positioned to achieve record met coal production, and we are on target for 11.5 - 13.0 MMTs comprised of approximately 75% hard coking coal and 25% PCI. We expect more than one-third of the increase to come from Mine No. 7, just under one-third to come from our other U.S. operations, and approximately one-third to come from our Canadian operations. Longer term, our development portfolio for new met coal projects is strong and should continue to make Walter Energy one of the largest and most profitable (measured by profit per ton) producers of met coal in the world.'
Sales of hard coking coal (HCC) were 1.9 MMTs in the fourth quarter of 2011, up 18% from 1.6 MMTs in the third quarter 2011. The average net selling price for HCC was $244/MT, as compared with $263/MT in the third quarter 2011. Average cash costs for HCC were $132/MT, the same as in third quarter 2011. In the fourth quarter 2011, cash margins for HCC were $112/MT.
Sales of low-volatility pulverized coal injection (low-vol PCI) were 523 thousand MTs in the fourth quarter 2011 and 562 thousand MTs in the third quarter. The average net selling price for PCI was $212/MT in the fourth quarter 2011 and $209/MT in the third quarter 2011. Average cash costs for PCI were $165/MT in the fourth quarter and $143/MT in the third quarter 2011. In the fourth quarter 2011, cash margins for PCI were $47/MT.
Full-Year 2011 Financial Results
For the full-year 2011, revenues were $2,571 million, a $983 million increase, or 62% over 2010 revenues of $1,588 million and were driven largely by the Western Coal acquisition. EBITDA was $822 million in 2011, up $129 million, or 19% from 2010 EBITDA of $693 million. The improvement in both revenue and EBITDA was largely due to the acquisition of Western Coal and more favorable pricing for HCC year over year.
Operating income for 2011 was $559 million and net income was $349 million, or $5.76 per diluted share. Operating income for 2010 was $594 million and net income was $386 million, or $7.18 per diluted share. The decreases are largely due to the acquisition of Western Coal and the related issuance of additional shares. The average number of shares outstanding was 60.6 million in 2011 and 53.7 million in 2010.
Fourth Quarter 2011 Financial Results
Revenues for the fourth quarter 2011 were $700 million, a $299 million increase, or 75% over fourth quarter 2010 revenues of $401 million. EBITDA was $207 million in the fourth quarter 2011, an increase of $36 million, or 21% over fourth quarter 2010 EBITDA of $171 million.
Operating income for the fourth quarter 2011 was $137 million and net income was $84 million, or $1.34 per diluted share. The average number of shares outstanding for the quarter was 62.7 million.
Liquidity and Capital Expenditures
As of December 31, 2011, the Company had available liquidity of approximately $422 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $128 million plus $294 million available under the Company's $375 million credit revolver. Capital expenditures for the fourth quarter 2011 were $121 million and for the year 2011 were $415 million.
2012 Production Guidance
The Company currently anticipates full-year 2012 met coal production will be between 11.5 MMTs and 13.0 MMTs of which approximately 75% will be HCC and 25% will be low-vol PCI.
Transaction with Chevron Mining
In May 2011, Walter Energy completed the execution of mineral leases for approximately 75 million tons of recoverable Blue Creek coking coal reserves. The transaction captured an integral portion of the last remaining block of Blue Creek coal and paves the way for a strategic opportunity to assemble 170 million tons of high quality coking coal and the development of a new underground mine.
Safety and Stewardship Highlights
The Company reduced its total reportable injury rate by 15% as compared with Walter Energy and Western Coal pro forma 2011 and 2010 rates. This reduction is the result of our commitment to improve employee health and safety and a workforce dedicated to a safety culture. Our aggressive commitment to safety continues in our 2012 goal to further reduce accidents and citations by 20%.
In May 2011, Walter Energy contributed $1 million to aid the victims of the April 27 tornadoes in central and west central Alabama of which $750,000 went to the American Red Cross and an additional $250,000 went to Alabama Governor Robert Bentley's Emergency Relief Fund.
The Company is also pleased to announce that it recently received the Surface Mine Reclamation Award 2011 at the 39th Annual West Virginia Coal Association Mining Symposium for its Lower Muddlety Nos. 1 and 2 Surface Mines in Nicholas County, West Virginia, for excellence in design, operation and reclamation of a surface mining operation.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
This release contains the use of certain U.S. non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures such as 'adjusted earnings per diluted share' and 'adjusted net income' as well as EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures are provided as supplemental to, and not as replacement of, nor equal to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management feels that these non-GAAP measures provide additional insights into the performance of the Company that they believe are helpful to investors and they reflect how management analyzes Company performance and compares that performance against other companies. A reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures is provided in the financial section of this release.

(1) Average Cash Cost per Ton is based on reported Cost of Sales and
includes items such as freight, royalties, manpower, fuel and other similar
production and sales cost items but excludes depreciation, depletion and
post retirement benefits. Average Cash Cost per Ton is a non-GAAP financial
measure which is not calculated in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (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 per Ton is a useful measure as
our management uses that as a 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.

(1) Includes accounts of Western Coal acquired on April 1, 2011. The
purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of
acquisition. A full and detailed valuation of the assets and liabilities is
being completed and certain information and analysis remains pending at
this time. Accordingly, the allocation is preliminary and is expected to
change as additional information becomes available and is assessed by the
Company. The impact of such changes may be material. The purchase price
allocation will be finalized during the 2012 first quarter.

============= ============= ============= =============
(1) EBITDA is defined as earnings from continuing operations before
interest expense, interest income, income taxes, and depreciation and
depletion expense. EBITDA is a financial measure which is not calculated
in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
and should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute or
superior to financial measures calculated in conformity with GAAP. We
believe that EBITDA is a useful measure as some investors and analysts use
EBITDA to compare us against other companies and to help analyze our
ability to satisfy principal and interest obligations and capital
expenditure needs. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures used by other entities.
