Delivers strong cash flows on tight cost management
Warrior Met Coal, Inc. (NYSE:HCC) (“Warrior” or the “Company”) today announced results for the second quarter of 2021. Warrior is the leading dedicated U.S. based producer and exporter of high quality metallurgical (“met”) coal for the global steel industry.
Warrior reported a net loss for the second quarter of 2021 of $4.7 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $9.2 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2020. Adjusted net income per share for the second quarter of 2021 was $0.25 per diluted share compared to adjusted net loss per share of $0.18 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2020. The Company reported Adjusted EBITDA of $65.2 million in the second quarter of 2021, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $20.3 million in the second quarter of 2020.
“As global steel production continues its recovery trajectory from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were pleased to see strong market demand from customers around the world in the second quarter,” commented Walt Scheller, CEO of Warrior. “With met coal prices improving during the quarter, we were able to take advantage of the groundwork we previously established to increase our selling and reduce our inventories. Importantly, we were able to capitalize on China's ban on Australian coal imports through increased sales to Chinese customers at higher prices compared to the Australian FOB prices. As a result of pricing dynamics and our ability to successfully manage our costs, working capital and capex spending, we were able to deliver another strong quarter of free cash flow and adjusted EBITDA.”
Mr. Scheller continued, "We continue to execute successfully on our business continuity plans in response to the UMWA strike which began on April 1, allowing us to continue to meet the needs of our valued customers. While we continue to negotiate in good faith to reach a new contract, the UMWA unfortunately remains on strike. Despite incurring costs associated with the strike, we have been able to manage our working capital and spending to deliver strong results in this market.”
Operating Results
The Company produced 1.2 million short tons of met coal in the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2.1 million short tons in the second quarter of 2020. Sales volume in the second quarter of 2021 was 1.8 million short tons compared to 1.5 million short tons in the second quarter of 2020. Inventory levels declined to 503 thousand short tons at the end of June 30, 2021 from the 1.2 million short tons at the end of March 31, 2021.
Additional Financial Results
Total revenues were $227.4 million for the second quarter of 2021, including $224.8 million in mining revenues, which consisted of met coal sales of 1.8 million short tons at an average net selling price of $123.36 per short ton, net of demurrage and other charges. This compares to total revenues of $163.7 million in the second quarter of 2020. The average net selling price of the Company's met coal increased 14% from $108.05 per short ton in the second quarter of 2020 to $123.36 per short ton in the second quarter of 2021. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company's gross price realization was 100% of the quarterly Australian premium low-volatility hard coking coal (“HCC”) Platts Premium LV FOB Australian Index (the "Platts Index”) price. The year-over-year increase in revenues is primarily attributed to an increase in met coal sales volumes combined with improved met coal pricing.
Cost of sales for the second quarter of 2021 were $152.8 million compared to $130.8 million for the second quarter of 2020. Cash cost of sales (including mining, transportation and royalty costs) for the second quarter of 2021 were $151.8 million, or 67.5% of mining revenues, compared to $129.9 million, or 81.7% of mining revenues in the same period of 2020. Cash cost of sales (free-on-board port) per short ton decreased to $83.30 in the second quarter of 2021 from $88.27 in the second quarter of 2020, reflecting our focus on cost control during the ongoing UMWA strike.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2021 were $11.1 million, or 4.9% of total revenues and were higher than in the same period last year driven by incremental non-cash expenses. Depreciation and depletion expenses for the second quarter of 2021 were $40.2 million, or 17.7% of total revenues and were higher than in the same period last year due to increased sales volumes. Warrior incurred net interest expense of $8.5 million during the second quarter of 2021, which was slightly higher than the same quarter last year primarily due to interest on new equipment financing leases.
Business interruption expenses were $7.0 million and represent non-recurring expenses that are directly attributable to the ongoing UMWA strike for incremental safety and security, labor negotiations and other expenses. Idle mine expenses were $10.9 million and represent expenses incurred with the idling of Mine 4 and reduced operations at Mine 7.
Income tax benefit was $6.6 million in the second quarter of 2021 due to a loss before income taxes of $11.3 million and additional marginal gas well credits. This compares to income tax benefit of $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2020.
Cash Flow and Liquidity
The Company generated positive cash flows from operating activities in the second quarter of 2021 of $68.7 million, compared to $32.0 million in the second quarter of 2020. Capital expenditures and mine development costs for the second quarter of 2021 were $15.3 million. Free cash flow was $53.4 million in the second quarter of 2021 reflecting our conscious management of expenses and spending.
Net working capital, excluding cash, for the second quarter of 2021 decreased by $32.4 million from the first quarter of 2021, primarily reflecting a decrease in inventory due to higher met coal sales volume and lower production.
Cash flows used in financing activities for the second quarter of 2021 were $8.6 million, primarily due to principal repayments of capital lease obligations of $5.7 million and the payment of dividends of $2.6 million.
The Company’s total liquidity as of June 30, 2021 was $287.9 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $266.9 million and available liquidity under its ABL Facility of $21.0 million, net of outstanding letters of credit of $9.4 million.
Capital Allocation
On July 30, 2021, the board of directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share, totaling approximately $2.6 million, which will be paid on August 16, 2021 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 9, 2021.
Collective Bargaining Agreement
The Company's Collective Bargaining Agreement ("CBA") contract with the United Mine Workers of America ("UMWA") expired on April 1, 2021, and the UMWA initiated a strike. The Company believes that it is well positioned to fulfill anticipated customer volume commitments for 2021 of approximately 4.9 to 5.5 million short tons through a combination of existing coal inventory of 503 thousand short tons and expected production for the remainder of the year. Even though Mine 4 remains idled, the Company expects production to continue at Mine 7, although at lower than usual rates. While the Company has business continuity plans in place, the strike may still cause disruption to production and shipment activities, and the plans may vary significantly from quarter to quarter for the remainder of the year.
Company Outlook
Due to ongoing uncertainty related to negotiations with the UMWA, the Chinese ban on Australian coal and other potentially disruptive factors, Warrior will not be providing full year 2021 guidance at this time. The Company expects to return to providing guidance once there is further clarity on these issues.
Warrior continues to appropriately adjust its operational needs, including managing expenses, capital expenditures, working capital, liquidity and cash flows. The Company has delayed the development of the Blue Creek project and its Stock Repurchase Program also remains temporarily suspended, while it focuses on preserving cash and liquidity.

About Warrior
Warrior is a U.S.-based, environmentally and socially minded supplier to the global steel industry. It is dedicated entirely to mining non-thermal met coal used as a critical component of steel production by metal manufacturers in Europe, South America and Asia. Warrior is a large-scale, low-cost producer and exporter of premium met coal, also known as hard-coking coal (HCC), operating highly efficient longwall operations in its underground mines based in Alabama. The HCC that Warrior produces from the Blue Creek coal seam contains very low sulfur, has strong coking properties and is of a similar quality to coal referred to as the premium HCC produced in Australia. The premium nature of Warrior’s HCC makes it ideally suited as a base feed coal for steel makers and results in price realizations near the Platts Index price.

Cash cost of sales (free-on-board port) is based on reported cost of sales and includes items such as freight, royalties, labor, fuel and other similar production and sales cost items, and may be adjusted for other items that, pursuant to GAAP, are classified in the Condensed Statements of Operations as costs other than cost of sales, but relate directly to the costs incurred to produce met coal. Our cash cost of sales per short ton is calculated as cash cost of sales divided by the short tons sold. Cash cost of sales per short ton is a non-GAAP financial measure which is not calculated in conformity with U.S. GAAP and should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute or superior to financial measures calculated in conformity with GAAP. We believe cash cost of sales per ton is a useful measure of performance and we believe it aids some investors and analysts in comparing us against other companies to help analyze our current and future potential performance. Cash cost of sales per ton may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. |

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net (loss) income before net interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and depletion, non-cash asset retirement obligation accretion, non-cash stock compensation expense, other non-cash accretion, non-cash mark-to-market loss on gas hedges, business interruption expenses, idle mine expenses and other (income) expense. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with GAAP, and we believe items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant to a reader in understanding and assessing our financial condition. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to net (loss) income, income (loss) from operations, cash flows from operations or as a measure of our profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA presents a useful measure of our ability to incur and service debt based on ongoing operations. Furthermore, analogous measures are used by industry analysts to evaluate our operating performance. Investors should be aware that our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. |

Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues. |

Adjusted net (loss) income is defined as net (loss) income net of Alabama state income tax valuation allowance, business interruption expenses, idle mine expenses, incremental stock compensation expense and other (income) expense, net of tax (based on each respective period's effective tax rate). Adjusted net (loss) income is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with GAAP, and we believe items excluded from adjusted net income are significant to the reader in understanding and assessing our results of operations. Therefore, adjusted net (loss) income should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to net (loss) income under GAAP. We believe adjusted net (loss) income is a useful measure of performance and we believe it aids some investors and analysts in comparing us against other companies to help analyze our current and future potential performance. Adjusted net (loss) income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. |
