Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Alpha Metallurgical Resources, Inc. reported a net loss of $17.3 million, or $1.34 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2025, with Adjusted EBITDA of $28.5 million and operating cash flow of $19.0 million. For full year 2025, the company posted a net loss of $61.7 million compared with net income of $187.6 million in 2024 as coal revenues and margins declined.
Fourth quarter metallurgical segment coal sales realization averaged $115.31 per ton, while non-GAAP cost of coal sales averaged $101.43 per ton, pressuring profitability. As of December 31, 2025, Alpha had total liquidity of $524.3 million, including $366.0 million in cash, and long-term debt of $13.4 million. Under its $1.5 billion share repurchase program, the company had bought roughly 6.9 million shares for about $1.1 billion at an average price of $165.89, leaving 12,792,685 shares outstanding as of February 20, 2026. For 2026, Alpha guided metallurgical shipments to 15.1–16.5 million tons with expected met segment cash costs of $95.00–$101.00 per ton and has already committed and priced about 37% of metallurgical volumes at an average of $134.02 per ton.
Positive
- Strong liquidity and low leverage with total liquidity of $524.3 million and long-term debt of $13.4 million as of December 31, 2025.
- Significant share repurchases completed, with approximately 6.9 million shares bought for about $1.1 billion under a $1.5 billion authorization.
Negative
- Sharp profitability deterioration, with 2025 net income of $187.6 million turning into a $61.7 million net loss and GAAP coal margin falling from a $297.1 million profit to a slight loss.
- Margin compression in Q4 2025, as metallurgical coal realization of $115.31 per ton was only modestly above non-GAAP cost of coal sales of $101.43 per ton.
Insights
Alpha swung from strong 2024 profits to a 2025 loss as pricing and margins weakened, despite robust liquidity and buybacks.

Alpha Announces Financial Results for Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025
•Reports net loss of $17.3 million for the fourth quarter 2025
•Posts Adjusted EBITDA of $28.5 million for the quarter
BRISTOL, Tenn., February 27, 2026 - Alpha Metallurgical Resources, Inc. (NYSE: AMR), a leading U.S. supplier of metallurgical products for the steel industry, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ending December 31, 2025.

“Following the previous disclosure of our initial Q4 performance, today we announce definitive financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025,” said Andy Eidson, Alpha's chief executive officer. “As previously stated, our fourth quarter numbers reflect the persistent challenges of the met pricing environment that prevailed through much of the 2025 calendar year. Having experienced some quality-specific improvements in the met market, particularly in the Australian low vol indexes, late in Q4 and extending into recent weeks, our first quarter 2026 results will be influenced by those more favorable conditions. From a volume perspective, Alpha’s first quarter tons sold tend to be lower than other quarters. Based on our first two months of the year, we expect this to hold true in 2026.”
Financial Performance
Alpha reported a net loss of $17.3 million, or $1.34 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter 2025, as compared to net loss of $5.5 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, in the third quarter.
Total Adjusted EBITDA was $28.5 million for the fourth quarter, compared to $41.7 million in the third quarter.

Share Repurchase Program
As previously announced, Alpha's board of directors authorized a share repurchase program allowing for the expenditure of up to $1.5 billion for the repurchase of the company's common stock. As of February 20, 2026, the company had acquired approximately 6.9 million shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $1.1 billion, or approximately $165.89 per share. The number of common stock shares outstanding as of February 20, 2026 was 12,792,685, not including the potential effect of unvested equity awards.
The timing and amount of share repurchases will be based on various factors, including but not limited to market conditions, the trading price of the stock, applicable legal requirements, compliance with the provisions of the company's debt agreements, and other factors.
2026 Operational Performance Update
As of February 17, 2026, at the midpoint of guidance, Alpha has committed and priced approximately 37% of its metallurgical coal for 2026 at an average price of $134.02 per ton and 77% of its thermal coal for the year at an average price of $73.17 per ton.

Notes:
1.Based on committed and priced coal shipments as of February 17, 2026. Committed percentage based on the midpoint of shipment guidance range.
2.Actual average per-ton realizations on committed and priced tons recognized in future periods may vary based on actual freight expense in future periods relative to assumed freight expense embedded in projected average per-ton realizations.
3.Includes estimates of future coal shipments based upon contract terms and anticipated delivery schedules. Actual coal shipments may vary from these estimates.
4.Note: The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of its forward-looking non-GAAP cost of coal sales per ton sold financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying with reasonable accuracy significant items required for the reconciliation. The most directly comparable GAAP measure, GAAP cost of sales, is not accessible without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis. The reconciling items include freight and handling costs, which are a component of GAAP cost of sales. Management is unable to predict without unreasonable efforts freight and handling costs due to uncertainty as to the end market and FOB point for uncommitted sales volumes and the final shipping point for export shipments. These amounts have varied historically and may continue to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and material changes to these items could have a significant effect on our future GAAP results.
5.Excludes expenses related to non-cash stock compensation and non-recurring expenses.

6.Includes contributions to fund normal operations at our DTA export facility and expected capital investments related to the facility upgrades.

FINANCIAL TABLES FOLLOW
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The discussion below contains “non-GAAP financial measures.” These are financial measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”). Specifically, we make use of the non-GAAP financial measures “Adjusted EBITDA,” “non-GAAP coal revenues,” “non-GAAP cost of coal sales,” and “non-GAAP coal margin.” In addition to net income (loss), we use Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of our reportable segment. Adjusted EBITDA does not purport to be an alternative to net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance or any other measure of operating results, financial performance, or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, this measure is not calculated identically by all companies and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it is a useful indicator of the financial performance of our coal operations. We use non-GAAP coal revenues to present coal revenues generated, excluding freight and handling fulfillment revenues. Non-GAAP coal sales realization per ton for our operations is calculated as non-GAAP coal revenues divided by tons sold. We use non-GAAP cost of coal sales to adjust cost of coal sales to remove freight and handling costs, depreciation, depletion and amortization - production (excluding the depreciation, depletion and amortization related to selling, general and administrative functions), accretion on asset retirement obligations, amortization of acquired intangibles, and idled and closed mine costs. Non-GAAP cost of coal sales per ton for our operations is calculated as non-GAAP cost of coal sales divided by tons sold. Non-GAAP coal margin per ton for our coal operations is calculated as non-GAAP coal sales realization per ton for our coal operations less non-GAAP cost of coal sales per ton for our coal operations. The presentation of these measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
Management uses non-GAAP financial measures to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. The definition of these non-GAAP measures may be changed periodically by management to adjust for significant items important to an understanding of operating trends and to adjust for items that may not reflect the trend of future results by excluding transactions that are not indicative of our core operating performance. Furthermore, analogous measures are used by industry analysts to evaluate the Company’s operating performance. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate, capital investments and other factors.
Included below are reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures.
