CODQL flags going concern; proposes Stanwell ABL to $265M
Coronado Global Resources Inc. reported a weak quarter as metallurgical coal prices stayed soft. Q3 revenue was $482.1 million, down from $608.2 million a year ago, and the company posted a net loss of $109.5 million (basic and diluted EPS $(0.65)). For the first nine months, revenue totaled $1.399 billion with a net loss of $281.9 million.
Liquidity tightened: cash was $172.1 million and total available liquidity was $187.4 million, including $15.5 million undrawn under the $150 million ABL facility. Interest expense rose sharply, and Coronado obtained a September 30, 2025 covenant waiver under the ABL. Management disclosed substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern given weak Met coal markets, potential covenant pressures, and credit rating downgrades. The company outlined a non‑binding proposal with Stanwell to refinance the ABL to $265 million, modify contract economics, and provide conditional prepayments tied to liquidity thresholds.

Insights
Going concern warning, tight liquidity, and costly debt drive risk.
Coronado posted Q3 revenue of $482.1M and a net loss of $109.5M, with year‑to‑date losses of $281.9M. Cash was $172.1M and total liquidity $187.4M, including $15.5M availability on a $150M ABL. Interest expense increased materially, reflecting higher-cost funding such as the ABL at 15%.
The company received a covenant waiver as of Sept 30, 2025 and noted that further credit rating downgrades could trigger defaults under the ABL. Management stated substantial doubt about continued operations within one year, citing weak Met coal pricing and operating headwinds.
A non-binding proposal with Stanwell targets a refinanced ABL to $265M and conditional prepayments tied to liquidity thresholds, but execution remains contingent on diligence, documentation, and approvals. Subsequent filings may detail effectiveness and timing.
