ST. LOUIS, April 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Arch Resources, Inc. (NYSE: ARCH) today reported a net loss of $6.0 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2021, compared with a net loss of $25.3 million, or $1.67 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Arch had adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, accretion on asset retirement obligations (ARO), and non-operating expenses ("adjusted EBITDA") [1] of $30.9 million in the first quarter of 2021, which included a $0.5 million non-cash mark-to-market loss associated with the company's coal-hedging activities. This compares to $12.9 million of adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2020, which included a $0.7 million non-cash mark-to-market loss associated with the company's coal-hedging activities. Revenues totaled $357.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, versus $405.2 million in the prior-year quarter.
In the first quarter of 2021, Arch significantly advanced its strategic priorities as the company:
- Built on momentum at the world-class Leer South project, which remains on-track to commence longwall operations in the third quarter;
- Maintained its consistent and well-established position as one of the U.S. metallurgical industry's lowest cost producers;
- Continued generating cash from its legacy thermal assets while driving forward with its accelerated reclamation plan; and
- Maintained its intense focus and exemplary performance across environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics.
"The Arch team maintained its world-class execution in the first quarter of 2021, once again delivering operational excellence in the key areas of cost control, safety and environmental stewardship," said Paul A. Lang, Arch's chief executive officer. "Notably, our performance improved steadily as the quarter progressed, in lockstep with the expanding availability of the COVID-19 vaccine and declining rates of infection at our operations. We expect to continue our positive operational and financial momentum in the second quarter, and to achieve a significant step-change in our overall performance in the third quarter with the startup of the Leer South longwall. Coupled with our intensified focus on long-term reclamation activities at our legacy thermal mines, Arch is extremely well-positioned to complete our strategic transformation into a pure play metallurgical coal producer in an accelerated fashion."
Further Extending Leadership on Key ESG Metrics
During the first quarter, Arch maintained its intense focus and exemplary performance across a wide range of environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics. Arch's subsidiary operations achieved a lost-time incident rate of 0.58 per 200,000 employee-hours worked, which was nearly 40 percent better than Arch's industry-leading 2020 average. Arch also achieved a perfect score in both regulatory and water quality compliance. In addition, Arch reported continuing reductions in its Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions, which have been reduced by 55 percent since 2013, due in large part to the company's strategic shift towards higher-value but lower-volume metallurgical products.
With its strategic shift towards metallurgical products – which are an essential input in the production of new steel – Arch has realigned its value proposition to reflect the global economy's intensifying focus on de-carbonization. Arch believes that a significant amount of new steel will be required in a de-carbonizing world, given steel's importance in urbanization, infrastructure replacement and the construction of essential de-carbonization tools such as mass transit systems, wind turbines and electric vehicles.
Leer South Update
"The Leer South team continues to hit milestones, on time and on budget, as they prepare for the third quarter startup of the longwall," said John T. Drexler, Arch's chief operating officer. "I'm pleased to report that all 212 longwall shields are now on site, development of the first longwall panel is nearing completion, and work on the underground setup room for the longwall mining system is well under way. The entire operations and marketing team is energized and ready for the rapidly approaching startup."
During the first quarter, Arch invested a total of $60 million at Leer South and has now expended a total of $342 million on the project net of the previously announced insurance recovery associated with the lost shields at Mountain Laurel. As previously indicated, Arch expects total capital spending on the project to come in at the high end of the original guidance range of $360 million to $390 million.
With the addition of Leer South, Arch expects to expand its High-Vol A metallurgical output by an incremental 3 million tons annually; enhance its already advantageous position on the global cost curve; strengthen its coking coal profit margins across a wide range of market conditions; and cement its position as the leading supplier of High-Vol A coking coal globally.
Strategic Plan for Legacy Thermal Assets
During the first quarter, Arch made meaningful progress on its dual objectives of generating cash from its legacy thermal assets while driving forward with an accelerated reclamation plan at its Powder River Basin operations. The thermal segment achieved solid margins despite less-than-ratable volume levels, while expending little capital. Further, Arch completed work totaling $8 million towards the reduction in Coal Creek's asset retirement obligation, and an additional $2 million towards the reduction in Black Thunder's ARO.
"We are methodically harvesting value and cash from our legacy thermal assets, while working down our long-term closure obligations in a systematic and measured way," Lang said. "The team's objective is clear as we drive forward in completing the company's strategic transition towards steel and metallurgical coal markets, while remaining committed to our environmental stewardship across our operations."
As previously announced, Arch plans to discontinue production at the Coal Creek mine by the end of 2021, and to reduce the mine's total ARO by an estimated $40 million, or approximately 80 percent, by mid-2022.
Operational Update
"After overcoming virus-related challenges early in the quarter, our core metallurgical segment finished strong and turned in solid results in the first quarter," Drexler said. "Despite less-than-ratable production and shipping rates, we achieved coking coal costs of less than $60 per ton and maintained our durable position as one of the U.S. metallurgical coal industry's lowest cost operators. Once again, the Leer mine led the way, delivering costs in the $40-per-ton range, further underscoring the great potential of its companion mine, Leer South."

With the rapidly diminishing operational and economic impacts of the pandemic and the seasonal resumption of shipping on the Great Lakes, Arch expects metallurgical sales volumes to increase by 15 percent in the second quarter, and to increase still further in the year's back half, buoyed by the startup of Leer South.

Arch expects the second quarter results of its legacy thermal portfolio to be generally comparable to the segment's first quarter performance, as projected increases in export volumes from the West Elk mine in Colorado are expected to be offset by weak domestic shipments due to still-inflated power plant stockpile levels and typical power demand softness in the spring months.
Financial and Liquidity Update
Arch ended the first quarter with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $237 million, and total liquidity of approximately $250 million.
As previously disclosed, Arch issued $45.0 million in tax-exempt bonds in early March, at a highly competitive interest rate of 4.125 percent. The proceeds are being used to fund the ongoing construction of the preparation plant and other waste management facilities at Leer South. At the end of the quarter, Arch had approximately $16 million of restricted cash that will become available for use as qualifying work is completed.
"With the completion of the second phase of this tax-exempt offering, Arch is poised to complete the Leer South buildout while maintaining a healthy and prudent level of liquidity," said Matthew C. Giljum, Arch's chief financial officer. "Following the ramp-up of the new longwall, we intend to prioritize debt reduction and further fortify our already sound balance sheet, in advance of ultimately resuming a measured capital return program."
Any future capital return program remains subject to ongoing board review and authorization.
Market Update
U.S. East Coast metallurgical markets remain solidly supported, as the resurgence in global steel production has buoyed coking coal demand while acting to counterbalance the adverse effects of politically driven Chinese import restrictions. Steel output appears on course to recover to pre-pandemic levels as soon as this year; steel prices in all major markets remain at historic highs; steel mill capacity factors have rebounded to healthy levels; and key importing countries, such as India, are returning to the seaborne market to satisfy pent-up coking coal needs.
U.S. East Coast prompt metallurgical price assessments continue to enjoy a $30 to $50 per ton premium compared to premium Australian coals, and Arch continues to see strong interest in its yet-to-be-committed coking coal volumes. In addition, while Chinese import restrictions on Australian metallurgical coals have acted to dampen aggregate seaborne coking coal demand, Arch continues to explore opportunities – both strategic and opportunistic – to increase its direct metallurgical sales into China, which has sourced only modest volumes from the U.S. in the past.
During the quarter, Arch committed an additional 500,000 tons of metallurgical coal for delivery in 2021, bringing total commitments for the current year to 6.8 million tons and leaving just 1 million tons still to sell at the mid-point of guidance.
Looking Ahead
"We remain sharply focused on executing on our clear and actionable strategy for long-term growth and value creation," Lang said. "Supported by an accelerated global recovery, the advancement of infrastructure-driven stimulus efforts, and the build-out of a new, low-carbon economy, steel demand remains robust and poised to continue its upward trajectory. With our low-cost metallurgical assets, premium High-Vol A product slate, industry-leading ESG performance, top-tier marketing and logistics expertise and best-in-class growth project, we believe Arch is well-positioned to drive long-term value creation for our shareholders."

Reconciliation of NON-GAAP Measures |
|||||||
(In thousands, except per ton data) |
|||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|||
Included in the accompanying release, we have disclosed certain non-GAAP measures as defined by Regulation G. The following reconciles these items to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. |
|||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|||
Non-GAAP Segment coal sales per ton sold |
|
|
|
|
|||
|
|||||||
Non-GAAP Segment coal sales per ton sold is calculated as segment coal sales revenues divided by segment tons sold. Segment coal sales revenues are adjusted for transportation costs, and may be adjusted for other items that, due to generally accepted accounting principles, are classified in "other income" on the consolidated statements of operations, but relate to price protection on the sale of coal. Segment coal sales per ton sold is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We believe segment coal sales per ton sold provides useful information to investors as it better reflects our revenue for the quality of coal sold and our operating results by including all income from coal sales. The adjustments made to arrive at these measures are significant in understanding and assessing our financial condition. Therefore, segment coal sales revenues should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to coal sales revenues under generally accepted accounting principles. |

Non-GAAP Segment cash cost per ton sold is calculated as segment cash cost of coal sales divided by segment tons sold.

We believe segment cash cost per ton sold better reflects our controllable costs and our operating results by including all costs incurred to produce coal. The adjustments made to arrive at these measures are significant in understanding and assessing our financial condition. Therefore, segment cash cost of coal sales should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to cost of sales under generally accepted accounting principles. |

Adjusted EBITDA |
|
|
|
|
|
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss attributable to the Company before the effect of net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, accretion on asset retirement obligations and nonoperating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA may also be adjusted for items that may not reflect the trend of future results by excluding transactions that are not indicative of the Company's core operating performance. |
||
|
||
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant in understanding and assessing our financial condition. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to net loss, loss from operations, cash flows from operations or as a measure of our profitability, liquidity or performance under generally accepted accounting principles. The Company uses adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of its segments and allocate resources to the segments. Furthermore, analogous measures are used by industry analysts and investors 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. The table below shows how we calculate Adjusted EBITDA. |
