Achieves milestone in pending merger with CONSOL Energy with the October expiration of HSR waiting period
Receives all necessary international approvals to complete the merger
Manages through extended outage of CBT shiploader to ship 2.1 million tons of coking coal
Declares fixed quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share payable on November 26

 ST. LOUIS, Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Arch Resources, Inc. (NYSE: ARCH) ("Arch" or the "company") today reported a net loss of $6.2 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2024, compared with net income of $73.7 million, or $3.91 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Arch had adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, accretion on asset retirement obligations, and non-operating expenses ("adjusted EBITDA")[1] of $44.2 million in the third quarter of 2024. This compares to $126.3 million of adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2023. Revenues totaled $617.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, versus $744.6 million in the prior-year quarter.

In the third quarter of 2024, Arch addressed operating and logistical challenges while laying the foundation for future value creation, as it:

  • Announced plans to merge with CONSOL Energy Inc. ("CONSOL") to form a leading, global player in seaborne metallurgical and high-rank thermal coal markets
  • Positioned the Leer South mine for enhanced operating execution in 2025 via the nearly completed transition to District 2
  • Progressed through a stretch of challenging geology at the Leer mine into a more advantageous reserve area that is expected to support productive mining in 2025 and beyond
  • Managed through a three-week outage of the shiploader at Curtis Bay Terminal that reduced coking coal shipments by an estimated 200,000 tons, and
  • Declared a $0.25 fixed dividend, for a total payment of $4.6 million, payable on November 26, 2024.

"Since the start of Q3, the Arch team has positioned the company for long-term value creation and growth via the announcement of a transformational merger, the near-completion of a multi-quarter transition into more favorable geology at both our world-class metallurgical mines, and strong continued progress in the development of the geologically advantageous B-Seam reserves at our export-focused, high-rank thermal West Elk mine," said Paul A. Lang, Arch's chief executive officer. "While Q4 results will be tempered by the fact that Leer and Leer South won't start up in their new reserve areas until mid-November, we expect a positive step-change in operational execution for the coking coal portfolio in 2025. At the same time, we are making excellent progress towards completing the merger, as evidenced by the expiration of the Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period and the securing of all needed international approvals, as well as our ongoing efforts to prepare for an efficient integration that unlocks the significant synergistic value of the combination."

Operational and Financial Update

During Q3, the metallurgical marketing and logistics team managed through challenges associated with a three-week outage of the shiploader at the Curtis Bay Terminal in Baltimore that constrained coking coal shipments, which totaled 2.1 million tons. On the production front, both the metallurgical segment's longwalls were throttled back while development work was completed in more advantageous reserve areas, leading to higher-than-normal unit costs in Q3. Looking ahead, the company expects both Leer and Leer South to deliver much-enhanced operational execution beginning in mid-Q4 as well as throughout 2025 due to these transitions.

During the third quarter, the thermal segment returned to profitability, buoyed by an improved performance from the Powder River Basin operations related to cost-cutting efforts and better alignment between stripping activities and sales volumes. The West Elk mine operated well but its contribution continued to be dampened by lower realizations associated with lower-priced legacy contracts – the vast majority of which are expected to expire at year-end 2024 – and higher costs stemming from additional continuous miner work related to the development of the highly attractive B-Seam reserves.

Arch generated cash provided by operating activities of $24.9 million in Q3, which included a working capital build of $18.2 million. Arch paid down $5.1 million in debt and ended the third quarter with $255.9 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, for a net cash position of $127.7 million.

The just-declared dividend of $0.25 per share is payable on November 26, 2024 to stockholders of record on November 15, 2024. Arch has deployed more than $1.3 billion under its capital return program since its relaunch in February 2022, including $736.0 million, or $39.03 per share, in dividends and $614.7 million in common stock and convertible notes repurchases and retirements.

Merger Update

Arch currently expects the merger with CONSOL Energy to close by the end of the first quarter of 2025. Completion of the merger is subject to the satisfaction of the remaining customary closing conditions, including approval by both companies' stockholders.

Among many projected benefits, the merger:

  • Joins best-in-sector operating platforms anchored by world-class, high-quality, low-cost, long-lived longwall coal-mining assets
  • Creates a broad, diverse portfolio of coal qualities and blends capable of serving multiple growth markets and geographies
  • Expands North American logistics and export capabilities, including ownership interests in two East Coast terminals and longstanding relationships with West Coast and Gulf Coast ports
  • Creates visible revenue stream with meaningful upside opportunities, balancing CONSOL's seaborne industrial business with Arch's exposure to higher-value metallurgical coals and associated demand dynamics
  • Enables robust adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow generation
  • Is expected to unlock additional value creation from $110 million to $140 million of annual cost savings and synergies, and
  • Creates the potential for robust capital returns and investments in innovation and growth underpinned by industry-leading cash generation and a strong balance sheet

Looking Ahead

"We are enthusiastic about the excellent progress the two companies are making to bring the merger to a successful closing, and remain focused on ensuring a speedy, efficient, and successful integration," Lang said. "At the same time, we believe we have positioned the metallurgical portfolio for a sustained period of operational excellence. We are more confident than ever that the pending merger will create a global industry leader well-equipped to capitalize on promising market dynamics in both of its core lines of business – global metallurgical and high-rank seaborne thermal coal."

Given the pending merger, Arch has elected to discontinue formal guidance at this time.

Reconciliation of NON-GAAP Measures

(In thousands, except per ton data)






Included in the accompanying release, we have disclosed certain non-GAAP measures as defined by Regulation G.
The following reconciles these items to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.






Non-GAAP Segment coal sales per ton sold   






Non-GAAP Segment coal sales per ton sold is calculated as segment coal sales revenues divided by segment tons sold. Segment coal sales revenues are adjusted for transportation costs, and may be adjusted for other items that, due to generally accepted accounting principles, are classified in "Other operating income, net" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, but relate to price protection on the sale of coal. Segment coal sales per ton sold is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We believe segment coal sales per ton sold provides useful information to investors as it better reflects our revenue for the quality of coal sold and our operating results by including all income from coal sales. The adjustments made to arrive at these measures are significant in understanding and assessing our financial condition. Therefore, segment coal sales revenues should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to coal sales revenues under generally accepted accounting principles.

Non-GAAP Segment cash cost per ton sold






Non-GAAP Segment cash cost per ton sold is calculated as segment cash cost of coal sales divided by segment tons sold. Segment cash cost of coal sales is adjusted for transportation costs, and may be adjusted for other items that, due to generally accepted accounting principles, are classified in "Other operating income, net" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, but relate directly to the costs incurred to produce coal. Segment cash cost per ton sold is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We believe segment cash cost per ton sold better reflects our controllable costs and our operating results by including all costs incurred to produce coal. The adjustments made to arrive at these measures are significant in understanding and assessing our financial condition. Therefore, segment cash cost of coal sales should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to cost of sales under generally accepted accounting principles.

Adjusted EBITDA












Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to the Company before the effect of net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, accretion on asset retirement obligations and nonoperating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA may also be adjusted for items that may not reflect the trend of future results by excluding transactions that are not indicative of the Company's core operating performance.


Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant in understanding and assessing our financial condition. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to net income, income from operations, cash flows from operations or as a measure of our profitability, liquidity or performance under generally accepted accounting principles. The Company uses adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of its segments and allocate resources to the segments. Furthermore, analogous measures are used by industry analysts and investors 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. The table below shows how we calculate Adjusted EBITDA.
