Warrior Met Coal Reports Third Quarter 2022 Results

Achieves quarterly Net Income of $98.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $171.6 million

Achieves record total liquidity of $869.0 million

Warrior Met Coal, Inc. (NYSE: HCC) (“Warrior” or the “Company”) today announced results for the third quarter of 2022. Warrior is the leading dedicated U.S.-based producer and exporter of high quality metallurgical (“met”) coal for the global steel industry.

Warrior reported net income for the third quarter of 2022 of $98.4 million, or $1.90 per diluted share. This compares to net income of $38.4 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted net income per share for the third quarter of 2022 was $2.10 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income per share of $0.97 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2021. The Company reported Adjusted EBITDA of $171.6 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $104.9 million in the third quarter of 2021.

“We were able to deliver an extremely strong quarter, both in terms of financial results and better-than-expected production, despite experiencing continued shipment delays as a result of rail transportation and port maintenance and congestion issues,” commented Walt Scheller, CEO of Warrior. “We also delivered this performance in the face of additional macroeconomic headwinds, including the impact of the sanctions relating to the war in Ukraine and negative economic trends in the U.S. and China. The benefits of our efficient operating model and our high quality assets are notable, and we believe that they will continue to drive value for shareholders.”

“Looking ahead, with significant coal inventories and record total liquidity, we believe that Warrior is well-positioned to make value-enhancing investments while delivering strong financial results. We were pleased to see gradual improvements in the shipping delays during the final few weeks of the quarter, a trend which we expect to continue in the fourth quarter. We are also continuing to see strong demand from customers while global met coal supply also continues to be constrained,” Mr. Scheller concluded.

Operating Results

Sales volume in the third quarter of 2022 was 1.5 million short tons compared to 1.1 million short tons in the third quarter of 2021, despite the impact of shipment delays. The Company produced 1.6 million short tons of met coal in the third quarter of 2022 compared to 1.1 million short tons in the third quarter of 2021. The tons of met coal produced in the third quarter of 2022 were the result of running two longwalls and five continuous miner units at Mine No. 7 and one longwall and three continuous miner units at Mine No. 4. Inventory levels rose to 858 thousand short tons at the end of September 30, 2022 from 735 thousand short tons at the end of June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to the continued shipment delays we have experienced this year attributed to the lack of available rail transportation, port maintenance and port congestion.

Additional Financial Results

Total revenues were $390.2 million for the third quarter of 2022, including $371.9 million in mining revenues, which consisted of met coal sales of 1.5 million short tons at an average net selling price of $248.13 per short ton, net of demurrage and other charges. This compares to total revenues of $202.5 million in the third quarter of 2021. The average net selling price of the Company's met coal increased 32% from $188.62 per short ton in the third quarter of 2021 to $248.13 per short ton in the third quarter of 2022. The quarter-over-quarter increase in revenues was primarily attributed to improved met coal pricing and higher sales volume partially offset by higher demurrage and other charges due to the shipment delays.

Cost of sales for the third quarter of 2022 were $203.4 million compared to $92.0 million for the third quarter of 2021. Cash cost of sales (including mining, transportation and royalty costs) for the third quarter of 2022 were $202.0 million, or 54.3% of mining revenues, compared to $91.0 million, or 45.6% of mining revenues in the same period of 2021. Cash cost of sales (free-on-board port) per short ton increased to $134.78 in the third quarter of 2022 from $85.92 in the third quarter of 2021, reflecting a 32% increase in average net selling prices and its effect on Warrior's variable cost structure, primarily for wages, transportation and royalties, plus the impact of inflation. Transportation and royalty costs accounted for approximately 47% of total cash cost of sales (free-on-board port) in the third quarter of 2022 compared to 39% in the same period last year due to the higher met coal average net selling prices and its effect on our transportation and royalty costs. Given our transportation rates are reset at the beginning of each quarter based on met coal prices in the previous quarter, we expect transportation costs to be lower in the fourth quarter of 2022 than the third quarter of 2022 due to lower met coal prices in the third quarter of 2022. Inflation accounted for an approximately $4 per short ton impact during the third quarter of 2022 due to increases in the costs of diesel fuel, belt structure, roof bolts, cable, magnetite, rock dust and other supplies, plus labor and parts on repair and rebuilds.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $10.6 million, or 2.7% of total revenues and were higher than the same period last year due to higher employee related costs, primarily related to stock compensation expense, and higher professional fees.

Depreciation and depletion expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $30.8 million, or 7.9% of total revenues and were higher than the prior year comparable quarter due to higher sales volume. Warrior incurred net interest expense of $5.7 million during the third quarter of 2022, which was lower than the same quarter last year primarily due to a decrease in interest on our outstanding notes combined with an increase in interest income.

Business interruption expenses were $7.1 million and represent non-recurring expenses for incremental safety and security, labor negotiations and other expenses that are directly attributable to the ongoing labor strike. Idle mine expenses were $5.4 million and represent expenses incurred with reduced operations at Mine No. 7 and Mine 4, such as electricity, insurance and maintenance labor.

Income tax expense was $20.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, which was higher than last year primarily as a result of the higher income before income taxes this quarter, which totaled $118.7 million. This expense reflects the utilization of net operating losses which resulted in no cash taxes paid during the third quarter of 2022.

Cash Flow and Liquidity

The Company generated cash flows of $247.2 million from operating activities in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $62.9 million in the third quarter of 2021. Capital expenditures and mine development for the third quarter of 2022 were $55.9 million. Free cash flow was $191.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $52.4 million in the third quarter of 2021. The increase primarily reflects higher realized prices combined with higher sales volume.

Net working capital, excluding cash, for the third quarter of 2022 decreased by $95.1 million from the second quarter of 2022, primarily reflecting a decrease in trade accounts receivables due to lower prices and the timing of sales, combined with an increase in inventories due to strong production and continued shipment delays.

Cash flows used in financing activities for the third quarter of 2022 were $90.5 million, primarily due to the payment of the regular quarterly dividend and special dividend totaling $44.4 million, retirements of debt of $37.8 million and principal repayments of financing lease obligations of $8.3 million.

The Company’s total liquidity as of September 30, 2022 was $869.0 million, a record high, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $745.7 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 October 24, 2022, our Board of Directors (the "Board") declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share, totaling approximately $3.1 million, which will be paid on November 11, 2022, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 4, 2022.

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.

Company Outlook

Warrior updated its guidance for the full year 2022 as indicated below, which we expect to be further impacted in the fourth quarter by the continued shipment delays and other factors noted below.

Coal sales

5.8 - 6.3 million short tons

Coal production

5.8 - 6.3 million short tons

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

$118 - $125 per short ton

Capital expenditures for existing mines

$75 - $80 million

Blue Creek project and other discretionary capital expenditures

$110 - $120 million

Mine development costs

$42 - $47 million

Selling, general and administrative expenses

$48 - $52 million

Interest expense, net

$22 - $25 million

Noncash deferred income tax expense

18% - 20%

Cash tax rate

0%

Key factors that may affect outlook include:

  • one planned longwall move (Q4),
  • HCC index pricing,
  • exclusion of other non-recurring costs,
  • new labor contract, and
  • inflationary pressures.

The Company's guidance for its capital expenditures consists of sustaining capital spending of approximately $75 - $80 million, including regulatory and gas requirements, and discretionary capital spending of $110 - $120 million for the 4 North portal construction, deposits on two new sets of longwall shields and the development of the Blue Creek project for which the Company has budgeted $45 million for 2022.

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) per short ton is calculated as cash cost of sales divided by the short tons sold. Cash cost of sales (free-on-board port) per short ton 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) per short ton 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.

(4) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before net interest 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 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.

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

(6) Adjusted net income is defined as net income net of Alabama state income tax valuation allowance, business interruption expenses, idle mine expenses, incremental stock compensation expense 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.
