From Oct 2024 to Dec 2024
Achieved Net Income of $41.8 million, or $0.80 per diluted share
Generated Adjusted EBITDA of $78.5 million
Produced first development tons at Blue Creek within budget and on schedule
Warrior Met Coal, Inc. (NYSE: HCC) (“Warrior” or the “Company”) today announced results for the third quarter of 2024. 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 third quarter of 2024 of $41.8 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, a decrease from net income of $85.4 million, or $1.64 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted net income per share for the third quarter of 2024 was $0.80 per diluted share compared to adjusted net income per share of $1.85 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2023. The Company reported Adjusted EBITDA of $78.5 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $145.8 million in the third quarter of 2023.
Third Quarter Highlights
“During the third quarter, high-quality steelmaking coal prices reached a three-year low primarily driven by a confluence of weaker demand, excess Chinese steel exports into our customers' markets, and ample supply of steelmaking coals,” commented Walt Scheller, CEO of Warrior. “We believe that current prices are below the global cost curve and are not sustainable. While we wait for market conditions to improve, we are carefully managing spot opportunities and are strategically exercising patience with certain geographies. Despite the external factors impacting our results, the third quarter represented a significant and positive milestone for Warrior as we produced the first development tons from our world-class Blue Creek growth project, on time and within budget.”
“While we expect steelmaking coal prices to improve slightly in the fourth quarter, we believe the pricing environment will remain under pressure due to the persistent weakness in the global steel markets and delayed infrastructure spending in India. With our world-class asset base, highly flexible cost structure, and a high-performing workforce, we are well-positioned to capitalize on improved global steel demand when the market turns, while moving forward with our highly disciplined approach to completing the Blue Creek project on time and within budget,” Mr. Scheller concluded.
With the addition of Blue Creek, Warrior expects to increase its annual High Vol A production by 4.8 million short tons; enhance its already advantageous position on the global cost curve; drive its cash costs further into the first quartile globally; improve its profitability and cash flow generation; and cement its position as a leading pure play steelmaking coal producer.
Operating Results
Sales volume in the third quarter of 2024 was 1.9 million short tons compared to 2.3 million short tons in the third quarter of 2023, representing an 17.5% decrease. This 17.5% decrease in sales volume was driven by us being selective with spot sales and exercising patience while we wait for market conditions to improve.
The Company produced 1.9 million short tons of steelmaking coal in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 2.0 million short tons in the third quarter of 2023, representing a 3.8% decrease. The timing of a scheduled longwall move in the third quarter slipped to early fourth quarter. Inventory levels increased to 915 thousand short tons as of September 30, 2024 from 895 thousand short tons as of June 30, 2024.
Additional Financial Results
Total revenues were $327.7 million for the third quarter of 2024, which compares to total revenues of $423.5 million in the third quarter of 2023. The average net selling price of the Company's steelmaking coal decreased 6.9% from $184.71 per short ton in the third quarter of 2023 to $171.92 per short ton in the third quarter of 2024. Our average gross selling price realization was approximately 93% of the Platts Premium Low Vol FOB Australian index price for the third quarter of 2024.
Cost of sales for the third quarter of 2024 were $231.6 million compared to $260.4 million for the third quarter of 2023. Cash cost of sales (free-on-board port) for the third quarter of 2024 were $229.7 million, or 71.8% of mining revenues, compared to $258.8 million, or 62.1% of mining revenues in the same period of 2023. Cash cost of sales (free-on-board port) per short ton increased to $123.45 in the third quarter of 2024 from $114.66 in the third quarter of 2023, driven primarily by lower sales volumes of 17.5% offset partially by an increase in production costs driven by increased headcount and supply costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2024 were $11.4 million, or 3.5% of total revenues and were slightly higher than the same period last year of 2.6% due to higher employee-related costs.
Depreciation and depletion expenses for the third quarter of 2024 were $36.6 million, or 11.2% of total revenues and were slightly higher than the same period last year of 8.0% of total revenues primarily due to depreciation expense recognized on additional assets placed into service. Warrior achieved net interest income of $7.3 million during the third quarter of 2024, which is consistent with the prior year. Interest income earned on our cash investments continues to exceed interest expense on our outstanding notes and equipment leases.
Income tax expense was $4.6 million in the third quarter of 2024 on pre-tax income of $46.4 million primarily driven by an income tax benefit for foreign-derived intangible income and depletion expense. This compares to an income tax expense of $16.8 million on income of $102.2 million in the third quarter of 2023.
Cash Flow and Liquidity
The Company generated cash flows of $62.2 million from operating activities in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $138.6 million in the third quarter of 2023. Capital expenditures and mine development for the third quarter of 2024 were $122.8 million compared to $112.3 million in the third quarter of 2023, primarily reflecting the continued development of the Blue Creek growth project. Free cash flows in the third quarter of 2024 were negative $60.6 million compared to free cash flows of $26.2 million in the third quarter of 2023.
Net working capital, excluding cash, for the third quarter of 2024 decreased by $4.4 million from the second quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting lower sales volumes, lower steelmaking coal prices, lower net accounts payable and accrued expenses and higher inventories.
Cash flows used in financing activities for the third quarter of 2024 were $8.1 million, primarily due to the payment of a regular quarterly dividend of $4.2 million and principal repayments of financing lease obligations of $3.8 million.
The Company’s total liquidity as of September 30, 2024 was $746.4 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $583.2 million, long-term investments of $49.7 million and available liquidity under its ABL Facility of $113.5 million, net of outstanding letters of credit of $2.5 million.
Capital Allocation
On October 25, 2024, our Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share, totaling approximately $4.2 million, which will be paid on November 12, 2024, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 5, 2024.
Company Outlook
The Company re-affirmed its guidance for the full year 2024. The guidance is subject to many risks that may impact performance, such as market conditions in the steel and steelmaking coal industries and overall global economic and competitive conditions, all as more fully described under Forward-Looking Statements.
Coal sales
7.4 - 8.2 million short tons
Coal production
7.4 - 8.0 million short tons
Cash cost of sales (free-on-board port)
$125 - $135 per short ton
Capital expenditures for existing mines
$100 - $110 million
Blue Creek project and other discretionary capital expenditures
$335 - $390 million
Mine development costs
$28 - $38 million
Selling, general and administrative expenses
$55 - $65 million
Interest expense
$4 - $6 million
Interest income
$20 - $25 million
Income tax expense
14% - 18%
Key factors that may affect outlook include:
The Company's guidance for its capital expenditures consists of sustaining capital spending of approximately $100 - $110 million, including regulatory and gas requirements, and capital spending of $325 - $375 million for the development of the Blue Creek reserves and $10 - $15 million for the final 4 North bunker construction.
The Company's production guidance contains approximately 200,000 short tons of High Vol A steelmaking coal in the second half of 2024 from the continuous miner units from the Blue Creek reserves, which are expected to be sold in the second half of 2025 after the preparation plant comes online.
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. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company's reported financial results.

(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) Cash margin per ton is defined as average net selling price less cash cost of sales (free-on-board port) per short ton.

(4) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before net interest income, net, 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 on gas hedges, business interruption 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.
(5) Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues.
(6) Adjusted EBITDA per ton is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by short tons sold.

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.

(8) Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment and mine development costs. Free cash flow is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with GAAP, and we believe items excluded from net cash provided by operating activities are significant to the reader in understanding and assessing our results of operations. Therefore, free cash flow should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities under GAAP. We believe free cash flow 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. Free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
(9) Free cash flow conversion is defined as free cash flow divided by Adjusted EBITDA.
