Hallador Energy (NASDAQ: HNRG) swings to Q2 loss but trims Turtle Creek gas project cost
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Hallador Energy Company reported second quarter 2026 sales and operating revenue of $101.5 million, roughly flat with $102.8 million a year earlier, but results swung to a net loss of $15.2 million from net income of $8.2 million. Operating cash flow for the quarter was $(23.9) million, compared with $11.4 million in Q2 2025, and Adjusted EBITDA turned negative at $(2.9) million versus $3.4 million.
Management attributed weaker performance to scheduled maintenance at the Merom Generating Station and higher purchased power costs during periods of elevated market prices. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, total revenue was $206.0 million with a net loss of $24.6 million, versus $220.5 million revenue and $18.2 million net income in the prior-year period.
The company highlighted progress on its Merom natural gas project, now named Turtle Creek Gas, expecting total project cost to be below $800 million (about $1,700/kW) and targeting commercial operation in the second half of 2028. Forward contracted sales remain a key pillar, with segment-level contracted revenue of about $2.37 billion through 2040. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $29.0 million as of June 30, 2026, up from $10.1 million at year-end 2025, supported in part by a public equity offering.
Positive
- Forward contracted revenue of $2.37 billion at the segment level through 2040 provides substantial long-term revenue visibility.
- Turtle Creek Gas project budget reduced below $800 million, implying a cost of about $1,700/kW, which management characterizes as a cost advantage versus new-build capacity.
- Cash and cash equivalents rose to $29.0 million at June 30, 2026 from $10.1 million at December 31, 2025, aided by a $53.8 million net public equity offering.
- Total stockholders’ equity increased to $190.3 million from $159.8 million at year-end 2025, reflecting new equity capital and accumulated contract liabilities-funded investment.
Negative
- Q2 2026 net loss of $15.2 million contrasts with $8.2 million net income in Q2 2025, driven by higher costs and purchased power.
- Operating cash flow was $(23.9) million in Q2 2026 compared with $11.4 million in Q2 2025, indicating a significant deterioration in cash generation.
- Adjusted EBITDA turned negative to $(2.9) million in Q2 2026 from $3.4 million a year earlier.
- Six-month 2026 net loss of $24.6 million replaced $18.2 million net income in the first half of 2025, while revenue declined from $220.5 million to $206.0 million.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind., August 10, 2026 – Hallador Energy Company (Nasdaq: HNRG) (“Hallador” or the “Company”) today reported its financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. The Company is also providing an update on the continued advancement of its Merom natural gas generation project, now formally named Turtle Creek Gas (“Turtle Creek”), including progress on equipment procurement, financing and interconnection.
“Since our strategic update in June, we have made significant progress across key elements of the Turtle Creek project,” said Brent Bilsland, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We recently completed a site visit to get a firsthand update of the disassembly of the turbine equipment, which is underway with a substantial Siemens workforce on site, and we continue to be pleased with both the progress of the disassembly efforts and the condition of the turbine equipment. Shipment of the equipment remains on schedule for September, and the generator interconnection process is also advancing. As the equipment, restoration and construction scopes become more defined, the project economics have become even more compelling, and we now expect total project cost to be below $800 million, or approximately $1,700/kW — which we believe is a significant cost advantage relative to competing new-build capacity — while moving forward our targeted commercial operation timeframe to the second half of 2028, a timeline we believe is materially ahead of comparable projects. This progress moves us closer to a final investment decision on a 460 MW peaking project that would meaningfully expand and diversify our dispatchable generation platform. At the same time, the market backdrop continues to validate the strategic rationale for that investment. We are seeing robust demand for accredited capacity and energy from a growing and increasingly diverse set of counterparties, and are working towards additional forward sales before the end of the year. With $2.4 billion of revenue already contracted through 2040, and potentially more sales on the way, we believe Hallador offers investors a degree of revenue visibility that we believe is among the strongest in the sector.”
“Operationally, the second quarter is traditionally our lightest period of the year, as we take one of Merom's two units offline each spring for an approximately 60-day scheduled maintenance outage. During this year's outage at Unit 1, we completed major reliability upgrades designed to address the unplanned downtime the unit experienced in recent quarters. Unit 2 performed well over the course of the quarter; however, the limited unplanned downtime it did experience coincided with periods of elevated market prices, which magnified the financial impact by requiring us to purchase power at high prices to meet our delivery obligations. Together, these factors weighed on our second quarter results but do not, in our view, reflect the earning power of the plant. With the scheduled outage behind us and the reliability investments in place, we believe Merom is positioned to run more reliably going forward, and we expect generation volumes to improve sequentially in the third quarter.”
Turtle Creek Update
The project’s interconnection application entered MISO’s Expedited Resource Addition Study (“ERAS”) process on June 2, 2026. Hallador expects to receive the results of that process, including the required system upgrade costs, in mid-August and, following its review, is targeting a final investment decision of the project and execution of a
generator interconnection agreement in September. Indications to date from the study process have been encouraging.
In parallel, the Company is finalizing the construction scope and advancing financing discussions as it evaluates the appropriate capital structure for the project, with the objective of financing the project while minimizing equity dilution. Together, the interconnection, construction, and financing workstreams are among the principal remaining steps toward a final investment decision. The Company is now targeting commercial operation in the second half of 2028.
Second Quarter 2026 Highlights
| ● | Second quarter results reflected higher maintenance costs associated with the annual planned outage at Merom Unit 1, during which the Company completed significant reliability upgrades, and higher purchased power costs resulting from limited unplanned downtime at Unit 2 that coincided with periods of elevated power prices, requiring the Company to purchase power to meet its delivery obligations. These impacts were partially offset by higher accredited capacity revenue and third-party coal sales. |
| ● | Total revenue decreased to $101.5 million in the second quarter of 2026 from $102.8 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by lower delivered energy sales, partially offset by higher accredited capacity revenue and third-party coal sales. |
| ● | Net loss was $15.2 million in Q2 2026 compared to net income of $8.2 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA was $(2.9) million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $3.4 million in the prior-year period. |
| ● | Hallador continued to invest in Merom while positioning its balance sheet to support its strategic priorities. |
| ● | On May 15, 2026, Hallador drew $45.0 million available under its delayed draw term loan and used a portion of the proceeds to repay $8.0 million on the Company’s revolving credit facility. Total bank debt was $45.0 million at June 30, 2026, compared to no outstanding bank debt at March 31, 2026 and $30.0 million at December 31, 2025. |
| ● | Total liquidity was $84.2 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $97.5 million at March 31, 2026 and $42.0 million at June 30, 2025. |
| ● | Capital expenditures were $26.3 million in Q2 2026 compared to $13.1 million in the prior-year period, primarily driven by reliability upgrades completed during the planned outage and expenditures for the Turtle Creek project. |
| ● | Hallador continues to execute its contracting strategy, increasing long-term revenue visibility and monetizing its dispatchable generation platform. |
| ● | As of June 30, 2026, Hallador had $1.8 billion of contracted revenue from delivered energy, accredited capacity and third-party coal sales, including accredited capacity commitments extending through 2040. Including intercompany coal sales, total contracted revenue at the segment level was $2.4 billion. |
