										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-eci="true">Earnings Call Insights: Alpha Metallurgical Resources (AMR) Q4 2025 </p>
<h3>Management View</h3>
<ul>
<li>CEO Charles Eidson reported adjusted EBITDA of $28.5 million and 3.8 million tons shipped in Q4, closing a year marked by market weakness but improved cost performance. He stated, &#8220;Since our last earnings<span class="paywall-full-content invisible"> call, we issued 2026 guidance and announced 3.6 million tons in sales commitments to domestic customers. We have since added another 500,000 contracted tons, bringing Alpha&#8217;s domestic commitments to a total of 4.1 million tons for the year at an average price of $136.30.&#8221; Eidson highlighted the importance of these domestic commitments for cash flow stability in volatile market conditions.</span> </li>
<li class="paywall-full-content invisible">Eidson noted recent coal market movements have been &#8220;largely concentrated within the Australian Premium Low Vol index&#8221; due to supply disruptions from Queensland flooding, which he described as &#8220;isolated and temporary.&#8221; He warned that &#8220;growing oversupply of high vol coal seems to be contributing to the widening spread between low-vol and the high-vol A and B coals. Given our usual quality mix, if the current pricing environment for high-vol persists, it would likely exert downward pressure on our realizations for the year.&#8221;</li>
<li class="paywall-full-content invisible">Eidson emphasized a continued focus in 2026 on &#8220;a strong balance sheet and safe, efficient operations as a recipe for success in these challenging times.&#8221;</li>
<li class="paywall-full-content invisible">CFO Todd Munsey stated, &#8220;Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was $28.5 million, down from $41.7 million in the third quarter. We sold 3.8 million tons in Q4, down from 3.9 million tons in the third quarter. Met segment realizations increased quarter-over-quarter with an average realization of $115.31 in Q4, up from $114.94 in the third quarter.&#8221; Munsey also shared, &#8220;SG&amp;A, excluding noncash stock compensation and nonrecurring items, decreased to $10.9 million for the fourth quarter as compared to $13.2 million in the third quarter.&#8221;</li>
<li class="paywall-full-content invisible">President &amp; COO Jason Whitehead reported operational progress at the Kingston Wildcat low-vol mine, stating, &#8220;We currently expect to produce roughly 500,000 tons from the mine this calendar year as we ramp up Wildcat&#8217;s full productivity capacity, which we believe is nearly 1 million tons per year.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="paywall-full-content invisible">Outlook</h3>
<ul class="paywall-full-content invisible">
<li>Eidson noted the company has 4.1 million tons in domestic commitments for 2026 at an average price of $136.30. He cautioned that, &#8220;if the current pricing environment for high-vol persists, it would likely exert downward pressure on our realizations for the year.&#8221; Munsey shared that at the midpoint of guidance, &#8220;37% of our metallurgical tonnage in the Met segment is committed and priced at an average price of $134.02. Another 53%&#8230;is committed but not yet priced.&#8221;</li>
<li>Munsey also noted, &#8220;The thermal byproduct portion of the Met segment is 77% committed and priced at the midpoint of guidance at an average price of $73.17.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="paywall-full-content invisible">Financial Results</h3>
<ul class="paywall-full-content invisible">
<li>Adjusted EBITDA for Q4 was $28.5 million, and 3.8 million tons were sold. Munsey reported, &#8220;Met segment realizations increased quarter-over-quarter with an average realization of $115.31 in Q4.&#8221; The metallurgical sales weighted average realization was $118.10 per ton, up from $117.62 in Q3. Cost of coal sales for the Met segment increased to $101.43 per ton, up from $97.27 in Q3, mostly due to lower volumes and reduced coal inventory value.</li>
<li>SG&amp;A costs, excluding certain items, decreased to $10.9 million. Unrestricted cash stood at $366 million with $49.6 million in short-term investments at year-end, and total liquidity was $524.3 million, down from $568.5 million at the end of September. CapEx rose to $29 million from $25.1 million in Q3, and cash provided by operating activities was $19 million compared to $50.6 million last quarter.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="paywall-full-content invisible">Q&amp;A</h3>
<ul class="paywall-full-content invisible">
<li>Nick Giles, B. Riley Securities: Asked for a breakdown of domestic versus seaborne tonnage and sensitivity to low-vol pricing. Daniel Horn, Chief Commercial Officer, explained that &#8220;probably half of our domestic volume was high vol, the other half&#8230;would be low and medium vol,&#8221; and that new Wildcat mine production would add low-vol tons to the seaborne market.</li>
<li>Giles questioned cost cadence. Eidson responded, &#8220;Q1&#8230;will lead to elevated costs. Second and third quarters are typically when we&#8217;re all systems go. Fourth quarters typically, same issue as the first.&#8221;</li>
<li>Giles inquired about demand in Europe, South America, and Asia. Horn stated, &#8220;The steel market globally is still pretty weak&#8230;There&#8217;s still some blast furnaces that could ramp up here&#8230;Asia remains kind of tough.&#8221; </li>
<li>Nathan Martin, The Benchmark Company: Asked about uses for Alpha&#8217;s cash. Eidson said the priority is maintaining a strong balance sheet and share buybacks, but also looking at &#8220;different opportunities that may arise&#8230;we&#8217;ll look at literally anything that comes across the desk to see if there&#8217;s a way that we can add value to the enterprise without bringing extra risk.&#8221;</li>
<li>Martin asked about guidance assumptions and 45X tax credit benefit. Eidson confirmed guidance is based on year-ahead strip pricing, and Munsey estimated a &#8220;circa $2 per ton benefit&#8221; from the tax credit.</li>
<li>Martin asked about further domestic sales opportunities. Horn replied, &#8220;I think it&#8217;s fair to assume most &#8212; all of them will go export&#8230;that domestic market is put to bed.&#8221;</li>
<li>Giles queried M&amp;A focus. Eidson replied, &#8220;We&#8217;re a met coal company&#8230;But the world changes&#8230;we really will [look at anything], but it does have to fit certain categories.&#8221;</li>
<li>Giles asked about U.S. supply changes. Eidson noted some furloughs and curtailments, estimating 1-2 million tons potentially taken offline, but did not see &#8220;enough to hit critical mass and make a material impact to the market.&#8221;</li>
<li>Giles raised coal pricing transparency. Horn discussed the dominance of buyer-preferred indices and noted, &#8220;The buyers largely dictate which indices you use.&#8221;</li>
<li>Matthew Key, Texas Capital Securities: Asked about tariff changes&#8217; impact. Eidson responded, &#8220;It&#8217;s got a lot of buyers, a lot of people&#8230;sitting on their hands waiting to see where things fall out before they make big moves.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="paywall-full-content invisible">Sentiment Analysis</h3>
<ul class="paywall-full-content invisible">
<li>Analysts asked clarifying questions about cost structure, guidance, and market outlook, with a neutral to slightly cautious tone, particularly regarding demand recovery and supply risks.</li>
<li>Management maintained a cautious but pragmatic tone in prepared remarks and Q&amp;A, frequently highlighting uncertainty and market risk. Eidson stated, &#8220;We are still utilizing some of that cash for the share buyback&#8230;we&#8217;ll look at literally anything that comes across the desk to see if there&#8217;s a way that we can add value&#8230;without bringing extra risk.&#8221;</li>
<li>Compared to the previous quarter, both analysts and management expressed a slightly more defensive and risk-conscious outlook due to persistent market weakness and pricing volatility.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="paywall-full-content invisible">Quarter-over-Quarter Comparison</h3>
<ul class="paywall-full-content invisible">
<li>The company moved from not providing 2026 guidance in Q3 to announcing 4.1 million tons in domestic commitments at an average price of $136.30 for 2026 in Q4.</li>
<li>Adjusted EBITDA and tons shipped declined from the previous quarter, while met segment realizations slightly increased. Cost of coal sales rose, reversing the prior trend of quarterly cost reductions.</li>
<li>Liquidity declined from $568.5 million to $524.3 million, and operating cash flow dropped.</li>
<li>Management&#8217;s tone shifted from emphasizing cost performance and operational achievements in Q3 to highlighting market risks, pricing pressures, and the need for resilience in Q4.</li>
<li>Analysts continued to focus on cost sustainability, market outlook, domestic contract strategy, and use of liquidity, but with increased attention to market risk and pricing volatility.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="paywall-full-content invisible">Risks and Concerns</h3>
<ul class="paywall-full-content invisible">
<li>Eidson and Horn repeatedly cited persistent market weakness, particularly in high-vol coal, and noted oversupply concerns that could pressure realizations.</li>
<li>Management highlighted the impact of temporary supply disruptions, such as Queensland flooding, but cautioned these were not expected to have lasting effects.</li>
<li>Horn described global steel demand as a key risk, with ongoing uncertainty from economic conditions, tariffs, and trade negotiations.</li>
<li>Potential for further production curtailments among smaller U.S. producers was discussed, but large-scale supply reductions were not anticipated to shift the global market.</li>
<li>The company is proactively managing its balance sheet and cost structure to mitigate these risks, with guidance and cash deployment strategies reflecting this approach.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="paywall-full-content invisible">Final Takeaway</h3>
<p class="paywall-full-content invisible">Alpha Metallurgical Resources closed a challenging year with a disciplined focus on cost control and operational safety, securing 4.1 million domestic tons in sales commitments for 2026 at an average price of $136.30 to support cash flow amid market volatility. Management remains attentive to ongoing challenges in metallurgical coal markets, particularly in high-vol segments, and continues to prioritize a strong balance sheet, measured capital deployment, and the ramp up of the Kingston Wildcat mine as key elements of its strategy for navigating an uncertain market environment.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-eci="true">Earnings Call Insights: Alpha Metallurgical Resources (AMR) Q3 2025</p>
<h3>Management View</h3>
<ul>
<li>CEO Charles Eidson highlighted, &#8220;This morning, we announced our financial results for the third quarter, which include adjusted EBITDA of $41.7 million and 3.9 million tons shipped. It was another good quarter for our<span class="paywall-full-content invisible"> team. Similar to Q2, the highlight of the period is the outstanding performance on cost of coal sales. For the second quarter, we missed a sub-$100 level by only $0.07. In Q3, we were able to shave almost another $3 off the prior quarter level, coming in at $97.27 per ton. We&#8217;re proud to have posted the best cost of coal sales performance for the company since 2021 and back-to-back quarters.&#8221;</span> </li>
<li class="paywall-full-content invisible">Eidson stated the company is &#8220;in the process of planning for 2026, putting together budgets and anticipating what we believe could be another challenging year for the coal industry,&#8221; and is not ready yet to issue guidance for 2026, citing ongoing domestic negotiations.</li>
<li class="paywall-full-content invisible">CFO Todd Munsey reported, &#8220;Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $41.7 million, down from $46.1 million in the second quarter. We sold 3.9 million tons in Q3, same amount as in Q2. Met segment realizations decreased quarter-over-quarter and average realization of $114.94 in the third quarter, down from $119.43 in Q2. Export met tons priced against Atlantic indices and other pricing mechanisms in the third quarter realized $107.25 per ton, while export coal priced on Australian indices realized $106.39 per ton.&#8221;</li>
<li class="paywall-full-content invisible">Munsey added, &#8220;SG&amp;A, excluding noncash stock compensation and nonrecurring items increased to $13.2 million for the third quarter as compared to $11.9 million in the second quarter. CapEx For the quarter was $25.1 million, down $34.6 million in Q2.&#8221;</li>
<li class="paywall-full-content invisible">President &amp; COO Jason Whitehead reported, &#8220;Q3 marks the second quarter in a row of record quarterly cost performance since 2021 at $97.27 per ton,&#8221; and noted continued progress at the Kingston Wildcat mine, with development production underway and expectations to reach a full annual run rate of roughly 1 million tons within 2026.</li>
<li class="paywall-full-content invisible">Executive VP &amp; Chief Commercial Officer Daniel Horn discussed market volatility, stating, &#8220;As steel demand remains subdued, metallurgical coal markets experienced slight fluctuations during the third quarter but have been largely range bound over the prior 6-month period.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="paywall-full-content invisible">Outlook</h3>
<ul class="paywall-full-content invisible">
<li>The company is not yet issuing 2026 guidance, pending completion of domestic sales negotiations and greater visibility on next year&#8217;s market.</li>
<li>Munsey stated, &#8220;With additional visibility into remaining payments for the year, we are lowering our capital contributions to equity affiliates guidance to a range of $35 million to $41 million, down from the prior range of $44 million to $54 million.&#8221;</li>
<li>At the midpoint of guidance, 85% of metallurgical tonnage in the met segment is committed and priced at an average price of $122.57, with another 13% committed but not yet priced.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="paywall-full-content invisible">Financial Results</h3>
<ul class="paywall-full-content invisible">
<li>Adjusted EBITDA for Q3 was $41.7 million, with 3.9 million tons sold.</li>
<li>Met segment realizations averaged $114.94 per ton, with export met tons at $107.25 per ton and export coal priced on Australian indices at $106.39 per ton.</li>
<li>Cost of coal sales for the met segment decreased to $97.27 per ton in Q3.</li>
<li>SG&amp;A (excluding certain items) increased to $13.2 million.</li>
<li>CapEx for Q3 was $25.1 million.</li>
<li>As of September 30, unrestricted cash was $408.5 million, with $49.4 million in short-term investments and total liquidity of $568.5 million.</li>
<li>Cash provided by operating activities was $50.6 million in Q3.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="paywall-full-content invisible">Q&amp;A</h3>
<ul class="paywall-full-content invisible">
<li>Nick Giles, B. Riley Securities: Asked about sustainability of cost cuts and productivity if prices shift. Eidson responded, &#8220;there&#8217;s going to be some volatility quarter-to-quarter&#8230; But I would just pause for a moment to again congratulate the operations team&#8230; Jason and his crew have done an amazing job over the past several quarters, continually ratcheting those costs down while maintaining our safe production mantra.&#8221;</li>
<li>Giles asked about precedent for domestic contract volume swings. Horn replied, &#8220;A lot of it is in the our customers. They are &#8212; the steel industry in North America is not running at full capacity&#8230; I would guess it&#8217;s going to be similar to last year&#8230; I can&#8217;t really comment on a 1 million-ton swing, that seems like a lot. But until we&#8217;re through the negotiations, I really can&#8217;t say any more than that.&#8221;</li>
<li>Giles inquired about rare earth opportunities. Eidson said, &#8220;We actually have done work going back to 2014&#8230; We&#8217;re not under any illusion that any of this is going to drive any material economic impact&#8230; we&#8217;re pretty happy mining metallurgical coal and if something else pops up, that will be great, but that&#8217;s really not our strategic intent at this moment.&#8221;</li>
<li>Nathan Martin, The Benchmark Company: Asked about the CSX derailment impact. Horn replied, &#8220;the good news is we learned this morning that the first trains have moved through that area. So we expect this to be a relatively short duration. We have coal on the ground. We were able to continue loading vessels, move some things around.&#8221;</li>
<li>Martin asked about domestic contract negotiations and spot activity. Horn stated, &#8220;Generally, Nate, the domestic customers all want to do fixed price 1-year contracts. So there&#8217;s not a lot of spot activity in that market.&#8221;</li>
<li>Martin discussed market conditions and supply. Horn responded, &#8220;new mines come online and old mines go offline. It&#8217;s not new. So we&#8217;ll navigate it. We&#8217;re watching it closely.&#8221;</li>
<li>Matthew Kline, Bank Texas Capital: Asked about index spreads and CapEx for 2026. Horn said, &#8220;the relativities between the 2 are driven by obviously supply and demand&#8230; What we&#8217;re more hoping for and expecting is some increase in demand in &#8217;26.&#8221; Eidson added, &#8220;the only project that we have ongoing is&#8230; Kingston Wildcat mine&#8230; There&#8217;ll probably be another $40 million-ish to wrap that project up next year.&#8221;</li>
<li>Giles also asked about M&amp;A and safety. Eidson noted, &#8220;Job 1 is always&#8230; protect a franchise, maintain this as much of a cash cushion as we can during these more difficult markets&#8230; M&amp;A right now, pretty tough in this landscape.&#8221; On safety, &#8220;The team has really responded and recovered. September was the best safety month we&#8217;ve had this year and maybe, gosh, going back years.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="paywall-full-content invisible">Sentiment Analysis</h3>
<ul class="paywall-full-content invisible">
<li>Analysts pressed on cost sustainability, contract negotiations, and market volatility, reflecting a neutral to slightly negative tone, particularly regarding market uncertainty and contract timing.</li>
<li>Management maintained a confident tone in prepared remarks, highlighting operational achievements and cost control, but shifted to a more cautious and measured stance in Q&amp;A, especially regarding future guidance and market risks. Eidson emphasized, &#8220;we do think it is going to be &#8212; continue to be a protracted situation through next year, at least it feels like.&#8221;</li>
<li>Compared to the previous quarter, management&#8217;s tone remains focused on cost discipline but with increased caution about the external environment and forward visibility.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="paywall-full-content invisible">Quarter-over-Quarter Comparison</h3>
<ul class="paywall-full-content invisible">
<li>Costs improved further in Q3, with cost of coal sales per ton declining from $100.06 to $97.27 and met segment realizations decreasing from $119.43 to $114.94 per ton.</li>
<li>Liquidity increased slightly, while CapEx and adjusted EBITDA declined compared to Q2.</li>
<li>Guidance is now more cautious with no new 2026 outlook, whereas Q2 included updates and optimism around Section 45X benefits.</li>
<li>Analysts continued to focus on cost control and contract volumes, but also raised more questions this quarter about market uncertainty and contract timing.</li>
<li>Management’s confidence in cost control is steady, while acknowledging market headwinds more explicitly than last quarter.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="paywall-full-content invisible">Risks and Concerns</h3>
<ul class="paywall-full-content invisible">
<li>Management cited ongoing softness in metallurgical coal indexes, global economic uncertainty, and subdued steel demand as key risks.</li>
<li>Delayed domestic contract negotiations for 2026 and potential market share competition from new supply entrants were noted.</li>
<li>A recent train derailment posed a logistical risk, but was being addressed through alternative shipping and existing stockpiles.</li>
<li>Management is closely monitoring CapEx, cash balances, and remains cautious on M&amp;A due to market conditions.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="paywall-full-content invisible">Final Takeaway</h3>
<p class="paywall-full-content invisible">Alpha Metallurgical Resources delivered another quarter of record-low cost performance, achieving $97.27 per ton and demonstrating disciplined operations amid persistent market challenges. With the Kingston Wildcat mine progressing and a significant portion of 2025 tonnage already committed, the company remains cautious about 2026, citing ongoing contract negotiations and a volatile market outlook. Management&#8217;s focus is on maintaining cost controls, safeguarding liquidity, and advancing operational efficiency as the coal industry navigates a period of subdued steel demand and economic uncertainty.</p>
