PEABODY ENERGY CORP SEC Filings

Peabody Energy Corporation filed a current report to note that its representatives will attend the UBS Global Materials Conference on September 3, 2025. During the event, they plan to present an overview of Peabody’s strategic focus, business developments, and recent trends.

The company has provided an investor presentation as Exhibit 99.1, dated September 2025, which is incorporated by reference for informational purposes but is furnished rather than filed under securities laws. This means the materials are intended to share information with the market without being treated as part of Peabody’s formal financial statements or subject to certain liability provisions.

Peabody Energy Corporation has terminated its previously announced acquisition of Anglo American’s Australian metallurgical coal mines. The company had agreed in November 2024 to buy substantially all assets and businesses associated with these mines, including the Dawson complex, German Creek, Grosvenor, Roper Creek and Moranbah North, through a series of share and asset purchase agreements and related option and tag-along arrangements.

Following an ignition event at the Moranbah North mine on March 31, 2025 and subsequent notices of a Material Adverse Change, the issue remained uncured through the contractual MAC cure date of August 18, 2025. On August 19, 2025, Peabody sent formal notices terminating the Anglo purchase agreements, the Dawson option deed with BUMA, and the JFEMA tag sale agreement, effectively cancelling the entire transaction. The company also issued a press release the same day describing the termination.

The filing is an initial statement of ownership and was signed by an attorney-in-fact on August 15, 2025. No derivative securities or other transactions are reported on this Form 3.

Peabody Energy (BTU) posted a sharp earnings reversal for Q2-25. Revenue fell 15% YoY to $890 million as seaborne thermal and met coal pricing/volumes softened; Powder River Basin sales rose but could not offset the decline. Operating results swung to a $38 million loss versus a $234 million profit last year, weighed by lower prices, $19 million of Anglo-related transaction costs and the absence of last year’s $110 million Shoal Creek insurance recovery. Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $28 million (-$0.23 EPS) compared with $199 million ($1.58) profit in Q2-24.

• Six-month revenue down 10% to $1.83 billion; net income to common plummeted 97% to $7 million (EPS $0.06).
• Operating cash flow improved to $144 million (vs. $130 million) but capex and JV funding drove $83 million reduction in total cash to $1.30 billion.
• Balance sheet remains conservative: net cash ≈ $256 million; long-term debt $329 million (3.25% converts due 2028).
• Total equity stable at $3.67 billion; ARO liabilities $673 million.

Strategic developments: Peabody invoked a Material Adverse Change clause on its planned $2.06 billion Anglo American metallurgical coal acquisition after the March gas-ignition shutdown at Moranbah North; outcome pending after 90-day cure period. A $2.1 billion bridge facility remains undrawn; $10 million commitment fees expensed. Planned sale of Dawson assets to BUMA and royalty/earn-out terms unchanged.
Guidance: none provided in excerpt. Overall, weaker coal markets and one-off charges pushed BTU into loss, while liquidity and low leverage provide flexibility amid acquisition uncertainty.
