Insights

Financial Analyst

Peabody's Q2 shows operational resilience amid pricing pressure, with improved guidance despite net loss.

Peabody delivered a mixed Q2 2025 performance with a $27.6 million net loss ($0.23 per share) compared to $199.4 million profit in Q2 2024. Adjusted EBITDA fell to $93.3 million from $309.7 million year-over-year, primarily due to lower coal benchmark prices (32% lower for metallurgical coal and 35% lower for thermal coal) and the absence of an $80.8 million insurance recovery that bolstered 2024 results.

Despite challenging market conditions, Peabody demonstrated operational resilience. The Powder River Basin (PRB) segment was a standout performer with $43 million in Adjusted EBITDA, representing a $1 per ton margin improvement over the prior year. Management highlighted strong cost control in seaborne operations and robust PRB demand, allowing the company to maintain a stable cash position of $585.9 million.

Notably, Peabody is accelerating the Centurion Mine longwall start to February 2026, ahead of previous schedule, suggesting confidence in project execution. The company raised full-year guidance for PRB volumes by 5 million tons and Seaborne Thermal by 200,000 tons, while lowering cost targets across three segments.

The newly enacted "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" is expected to reduce costs by $15-20 million in H2 2025 through federal royalty reductions, which should enhance PRB competitiveness. With $847.1 million in pre-funded reclamation liabilities and $343.8 million in long-term debt, Peabody maintains a conservative balance sheet with nearly $1 billion in total liquidity.

Management continues to monitor the Moranbah North Mine acquisition situation, citing a Material Adverse Change following an ignition incident, with an update expected August 19th after the 90-day cure period expires.

Second Quarter Results Reflect Strong Seaborne and PRB Cost Performance

Longwall Start at Centurion Mine Accelerated to February 2026

Favorable Changes to Full-Year Volume and Cost Targets

ST. LOUIS, July 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Peabody (NYSE: BTU) today reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $(27.6) million, or $(0.23) per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $199.4 million, or $1.42 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. Peabody had Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $93.3 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $309.7 million in the prior year quarter (included $80.8 million of insurance recovery and reflected seaborne benchmark prices that were 32 percent higher for metallurgical coal and 35 percent higher for thermal coal than the current year).

According to Peabody President and CEO Jim Grech, "Peabody closed out the first half of the year with strong execution and a resilient performance. Effective cost management in the seaborne platforms allowed us to work through a period of lower pricing, while robust Powder River Basin (PRB) demand demonstrated the benefit of our leading U.S. thermal coal business. In addition to Peabody benefiting from higher U.S. coal demand in the first half based on favorable market fundamentals, newly enacted federal legislation is expected to reduce costs moving forward."

Highlights

• Peabody reported second quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $93 million.
• The Centurion Mine in Australia's Bowen Basin remains on budget and ahead of schedule in development meters, allowing the company to accelerate the planned start of longwall production.
• Strong U.S. thermal demand led the PRB segment to better-than-expected performance, driving substantial margin improvements.
• Both Seaborne Metallurgical and Seaborne Thermal segments continued to "control the controllables" with second quarter costs below company targets.
• Peabody estimates benefits of $15 to $20 million in the second half of 2025 related to federal royalty reduction provisions from the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" signed into law in July, which is also expected to strengthen the competitiveness of PRB coal.
• Peabody is raising full-year 2025 guidance for Seaborne Thermal and PRB volumes and lowering cost-per-ton targets for Seaborne Thermal, Seaborne Met and PRB segments.
• The company declared a $0.075 per share dividend on common stock on July 31, 2025.

Seaborne Thermal Adjusted EBITDA totaled $33.5 million. Second quarter performance was impacted by lower shipments due to weather-related port disruption, partly offset by costs that were below company targets. Despite pricing pressure, the segment delivered Adjusted EBITDA margins of 17 percent. The company's July shipments were above target, leading to a 200,000 ton increase in full year volume guidance and $3 per ton reduction in full-year cost guidance.

Seaborne Metallurgical volumes increased 400,000 tons over prior quarter while costs were $6 per ton lower than target. The company mitigated a challenging pricing environment and reported Adjusted EBITDA loss of $9.2 million. As a result of the strong first-half cost performance, Peabody is lowering its full year cost guidance by $7 per ton to approximately $118 per ton.

Powder River Basin Adjusted EBITDA totaled $43.0 million, an increase of more than a dollar per ton in margin compared to prior-year performance. Second quarter shipments exceeded expectations, which also led to per-ton costs well below company targets. Based on increased contract volumes, the company is raising full-year volume guidance by 5 million tons and lowering cost targets by $0.63 per ton.

Other U.S. Thermal Adjusted EBITDA totaled $13.5 million for the quarter, with rail issues at Bear Run and challenging mining conditions in the current panel at Twentymile leading to lower volumes. The company is seeing  improved rail performance at Bear Run and expects significantly improved performance at Twentymile after an August longwall move to a new panel is completed. The company is maintaining full year volume and cost guidance for the segment.

Balance Sheet/Liquidity

Peabody continued to generate positive operating cash flow in a challenging price environment. At June 30, 2025 the company had $585.9 million of cash, $847.1 million in pre-funded reclamation and other liabilities, long term debt of $343.8 million, and total liquidity approaching $1 billion.

"Peabody's cash position was largely unchanged from the prior quarter after netting investment in Centurion, shareholder returns, transaction costs and other working capital items, reflecting the resilience of our operations and the tremendous value of a balanced, diversified asset base," said Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Mark Spurbeck. "Peabody's balance sheet provides substantial financial strength designed to sustain the company during challenging times and deliver extraordinary value during stronger points of the price cycle."

Centurion Update

Due to rapid continued progress at the Centurion Mine, the company now expects longwall operations to commence earlier than previously guided, with startup anticipated in February 2026. This accelerated timeline reflects effective execution and may have favorable implications for the mine's sales targets. The mine has hired 260 employees of its planned headcount of 400, and intends to start installing longwall shields in November.

Acquisition Update

Four full months have passed since the ignition incident at Anglo American's Moranbah North Mine, with still no credible timetable on resumption of sustainable longwall production. Peabody's understanding of conditions underground, along with the continued passage of time, has further confirmed that a Material Adverse Change (MAC) has occurred under the related purchase agreements. Peabody has not reached a revised agreement with the seller and intends to provide a further update on August 19th, after the 90-day MAC cure period has expired.

Outlook

"Looking ahead, we are pleased to increase our full-year volume guidance for Powder River Basin and Seaborne Thermal coal while reducing our full-year cost targets for three of the four segments," said Mr. Grech.

Third Quarter 2025   

Seaborne Thermal

• Volume is expected to be 3.9 million tons, including 2.7 million export tons. 0.6 million export tons are priced at approximately $82 per ton, and 1.0 million tons of Newcastle product and 1.1 million tons of high ash product are unpriced. Costs are anticipated to be $45-$50 per ton.

Seaborne Metallurgical

• Volume is anticipated to be 2.2 million tons and is expected to achieve 70 to 75 percent of the premium hard coking coal price index. Costs are anticipated to be $110-$120 per ton.

¹ Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA margin is equal to segment Adjusted EBITDA (excluding insurance recoveries) divided by segment revenue. Revenue per Ton and Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton are equal to revenue by segment and Adjusted EBITDA by segment (excluding insurance recoveries), respectively, divided by segment tons sold. Costs per Ton is equal to Revenue per Ton less Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton. Management believes Costs per Ton and Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton best reflect controllable costs and operating results at the reporting segment level. We consider all measures reported on a per ton basis, as well as Adjusted EBITDA margin, to be operating/statistical measures. Please refer to the tables and related notes herein for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures.
