CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING ~~FORWARD LOOKING~~FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report includes statements of our expectations, intentions, plans and beliefs that constitute “forward-looking statements.” These statements, which involve risks and uncertainties, relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable and may also relate to our future prospects, developments and business strategies. We have used the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “should” and similar terms and phrases, including references to assumptions, in this report to identify forward-looking statements, but these terms and phrases are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. These forward-looking statements are made based on expectations and beliefs concerning future events affecting us and are subject to uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those ~~matters~~ expressed in or implied by these forward-looking statements.

The following factors are among those that may cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements:

•~~the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and the world economy;~~

•the financial performance of the company;

•our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition;

•our ability to generate sufficient cash or obtain financing to fund our business operations;

•our indebtedness and potential future indebtedness;

•our ability to meet collateral requirements;

•the imposition or continuation of barriers to trade, such as tariffs;

•increased market volatility and uncertainty on worldwide markets and our customers as a result of developments in Ukraine and the consequent export controls and financial and economic sanctions;

•reductions or increases in customer coal inventories and the timing of those changes;

•our production capabilities and costs;

•disruptions in delivery or changes in pricing from third-party vendors of key equipment and materials that are necessary for our operations, such as diesel fuel, steel products, explosives, tires and purchased coal;

•inflationary pressures on supplies and labor and significant or rapid increases in commodity prices;

•railroad, barge, truck and other transportation availability, performance and costs;

•inherent risks of coal mining, including those that are beyond our control;

•changes in the ownership of our equity, which may significantly further reduce the annual amount of the net operating loss and other carryforwards available to be utilized;

•changes in, interpretations of, or implementations of domestic or international tax or other laws and regulations, including the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and its related regulations;

•our ability to self-insure certain of our black lung obligations without a significant increase in required collateral;

•our relationships with, and other conditions affecting, our customers, including the inability to collect payments from our customers if their creditworthiness declines;

•changes in, renewal or acquisition of, terms of and performance of customers under coal supply arrangements and the refusal by our customers to receive coal under agreed-upon contract terms;

•our ability to obtain, maintain or renew any necessary permits or rights, and our ability to mine properties due to defects in title on leasehold interests;

•attracting and retaining key personnel and other employee workforce factors, such as labor relations;

•funding for and changes in employee benefit obligations;

•cybersecurity attacks or failures, threats to physical security, extreme weather conditions or other natural disasters;

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited, amounts in thousands except share and per share data)

(1) Business and Basis of Presentation

Business

Alpha Metallurgical Resources, Inc. (“Alpha” or the “Company”) is a Tennessee-based mining company with operations across Virginia and West Virginia. With customers across the globe, high-quality reserves and significant port capacity, Alpha is a leading U.S. supplier of metallurgical products for the steel industry.

Basis of Presentation

Together, the condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive ~~loss,~~income (loss), balance sheets, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the Company are referred to as the “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.” The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are also referenced across periods as “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations,” “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive ~~Loss,~~Income (Loss),” “Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets,” “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows,” and “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.” The Company’s former Northern Appalachia (“NAPP”) operations results of operations and financial position are reported as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The historical information in the accompanying Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements has been restated to reflect the effects of the Company’s former NAPP operations being reported as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 2 for further information on discontinued operations.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all wholly-owned subsidiaries’ results of operations for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2020.~~2021. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for Form 10-Q. Such rules and regulations allow the omission of certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP as long as the financial statements are not misleading. In the opinion of management, these interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. Results of operations for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, ~~2021~~2022 or any other period. These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

~~Liquidity Risks and Uncertainties~~Reclassifications

~~The Company believes it will~~Certain amounts in the prior year Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have ~~sufficient liquidity~~been reclassified to ~~meet its working capital requirements, anticipated capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisition-related obligations, and reclamation obligations for the 12 months subsequent~~conform to the issuance of these financial statements. However, the Company may need to raise additional funds if market conditions deteriorate and may not be able to do so in a timely fashion, or at all. The Company relies on a number of assumptions in budgeting for future activities. These include the costs for mine development to sustain capacity of its operating mines, cash flows from operations, effects of regulation and taxes by governmental agencies, mining technology improvements and reclamation costs. These assumptions are inherently subject to significant business, political, economic, regulatory, environmental and competitive uncertainties, contingencies and risks, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Therefore, the Company’s cash on hand and from future operations will be subject to any significant changes in these assumptions.

current year presentation.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 virus was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The COVID-19 pandemic has had negative impacts on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. The Company experienced an increase in employee absences due to COVID-19. Indirectly, through some of the Company’s third-party vendors, the Company and the Company’s customers have experienced some supply chain disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration ~~and spread~~ of the ~~outbreak,~~virus, its impact on ~~its~~the Company’s customers and suppliers, and the range of governmental and community reactions to the pandemic, which cannot be fully predicted. Health and safety are core values of the Company and are the foundation for how the Company manages every aspect of its business. The Company continues to monitor developments closely and adjust as necessary, including with respect to the Company’s implemented policies, procedures, and prevention measures to protect the safety and health of its employees.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

~~and the range of governmental and community reactions to the pandemic, which are still uncertain and still cannot be fully predicted.~~

~~Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance~~

~~Convertible Debt and Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity: In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06,~~ ~~Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)~~Vintage Disclosures (“ASU ~~2020-06”~~2022-02”). This update eliminates the troubled debt restructuring model for creditors that have adopted Topic 326. All loan modifications will now be accounted for under general loan modification guidance and, on a prospective basis, entities will be subject to new disclosure requirements covering modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, entities will be required to prospectively disclose current-period gross write-off information by year of origination. The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity, such as the Company’s outstanding Series A warrants. For public business entities, the standard isare effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, ~~2021,~~2022, with early ~~adoption~~application permitted. The Company adopted ASU ~~2020-06~~2022-02 during the first quarter of ~~2021.~~2022. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the ~~Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.~~

~~Reference Rate Reform: In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01,~~ ~~Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)~~ (“ASU 2021-01”). The amendments in this update clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. For all entities, the standard is effective immediately. The Company adopted ASU 2021-01 during the first quarter of 2021. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

~~Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options:~~ ~~In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04,~~ Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2021-04”). The amendments in this update provide final guidance that requires issuers to account for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options, such as the Company’s outstanding Series A warrants, that remain equity classified after the modification or exchange based on the economic substance of the modification or exchange. This ASU addresses the diversity in practice in issuers’ accounting by providing a principles-based framework to determine whether an issuer should recognize the modification or exchange as 1) an adjustment to equity and, if so, the related earnings per share effects, if any, or 2) an expense and, if so, the manner and pattern of recognition. For all entities, the standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2021-04 during the second quarter of 2021. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

(2) Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations consist of activity related to the Company’s former NAPP operations.

On December 10, 2020, the Company closed on a transaction to sell its thermal coal mining operations located in Pennsylvania consisting primarily of its Cumberland mining complex and related property to a third party purchaser, Iron Senergy Holdings, LLC (“Iron Senergy”). The mining permits associated with the Cumberland operations were obtained by Iron Senergy at closing. During the second quarter of 2021, nearly all of the Company’s remaining surety bonds were released and Iron Senergy’s replacement bonds were accepted through the administrative process with only $30 remaining and expected to be released in the short-term.

Major Financial Statement Components of Discontinued Operations

(3) Revenue

Disaggregation of Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company earns revenues primarily through the sale of coal produced at Company operations and coal purchased from third parties. The Company extracts, processes and markets met and thermal coal from deep and surface mines for sale to steel and coke producers, industrial customers, and electric utilities.

The Company has disaggregated revenue between met coal and thermal coal and export and domestic revenues which depicts the pricing and contract differences between the two. Export revenue generally is derived by spot or short term contracts with pricing determined at the time of shipment or based on a market index; whereas domestic revenue is characterized by contracts that typically have a term of one year or longer and typically the pricing is fixed. The following tables disaggregate the Company’s coal revenues by product category and by market to depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of the Company’s coal revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors:

(5) Net ~~Loss~~Income (Loss) Per Share

The number of shares used to calculate basic net ~~loss~~income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of the Company’s outstanding common shares during the respective period. The number of shares used to calculate diluted net ~~loss~~income (loss) per common share is based on the number of common shares used to calculate basic net ~~loss~~income (loss) per common share plus the dilutive effect of stock options and other stock-based instruments held by the Company’s employees and directors during the period, and the Company’s outstanding Series A warrants. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock-based instruments is determined by application of the treasury stock method. The warrants become dilutive for diluted net ~~loss~~income (loss) per common share calculations when the market price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the exercise price. As discussed below, dilutive securities are not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as the impact would be anti-dilutive. ~~Refer to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for net loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.~~

For the three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, 0 and ~~2020, 942,549 and 1,581,608~~954,248 warrants, stock options, and other stock-based instruments, respectively, were excluded from the computation of dilutive net loss per common share because they would have been anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, 948,398 and 1,492,657 warrants, stock options, and other stock-based instruments, respectively, were excluded from the computation of dilutive net lossincome (loss) per common share because they would have been anti-dilutive. When applying the treasury stock method, anti-dilution generally occurs when the exercise prices or unrecognized compensation cost per share are higher than the Company’s average stock price during an applicable period.

Anti-dilution also occurs in periods of a net loss, and the dilutive impact of all share-based compensation awards are excluded. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 the weighted average share impact of stock options and other stock-based instruments that were excluded from the calculation of diluted shares due to the Company incurring a net loss for the period was 323,236.

The following table presents the net income (loss) per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

Anti-dilution also occurs in periods of a net loss, and the dilutive impact of all share-based compensation awards are excluded. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 the weighted average share impact of stock options and other stock-based instruments and for the three months ended June 30, 2020 the weighted average share impact of other stock-based instruments that were excluded from the calculation of diluted shares due to the Company incurring a net loss for the period were 313,640 and 9,572, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the weighted average share impact of stock options and other stock-based instruments that were excluded from the calculation of diluted shares due to the Company incurring a net loss for the period were 301,684 and 42,139, respectively.

~~(8) Asset Impairment and Restructuring~~

~~Long-lived Asset Impairment~~

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, long-lived asset impairment of $60 was recorded in the All Other category to reduce the carrying value of property, plant, and equipment, net, due to capital spending during the period at previously impaired locations requiring the impairment of certain additional assets not considered recoverable.

During the second quarter of 2020, as a result of the weakening coal market conditions due in part to the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Company announced that it would take certain strategic actions with respect to two of its thermal coal mining complexes in an effort to strengthen its financial performance and improve forecasted liquidity. The Company announced that an underground mine and preparation plant located in West Virginia would be idled during the third quarter of 2020. In addition, the Company decided not to move forward with the construction of a new refuse impoundment at its Cumberland mine in Pennsylvania and would therefore no longer spend the significant capital required in connection with the project. As a result, the Cumberland mine was expected to cease production by the end of 2022. On December 10, 2020, the Company sold its Cumberland mining operations. Refer to Note 2 for further details.

In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company determined that the strategic actions taken by the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2020, discussed above, shortened the lives of two mining complexes, and that continued weakening in metallurgical and thermal coal pricing had resulted in forecasted margins at certain locations falling below amounts necessary for full recoverability. As a result of these determinations, the Company assessed that indicators of impairment were present for 3 long-lived asset groups within its Met reporting segment and 4 long-lived asset groups within its All Other category. The Company therefore performed impairment testing on these assets and determined that, as of May 31, 2020, the carrying amounts of the asset groups exceeded both their undiscounted cash flows and their estimated fair values. The Company estimated the fair value of these asset groups generally using a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing market-participant assumptions.

During the first quarter of 2020, due to declines in metallurgical and thermal coal pricing which reduced forecasted margins at certain locations to amounts below those required for full recoverability, the Company determined that indicators of impairment were present for 4 long-lived asset groups within its Met reporting segment and 3 long-lived asset groups within its All Other category and performed impairment testing as of February 29, 2020. At February 29, 2020, the Company determined that the carrying amounts of the asset groups exceeded both their undiscounted cash flows and their estimated fair values. The Company estimated the fair value of these asset groups generally using a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing market-participant assumptions.

~~The following tables present the details of the long-lived asset impairment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020:~~

~~Restructuring~~

As a result of the strategic actions announced in the second quarter of 2020 and subsequent changes to severance and employee-related benefits, the Company recorded restructuring expense of ($621) in the All Other category during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

~~As a result of the strategic actions discussed above, the Company recorded restructuring expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 as follows:~~

Availability under the ABL Facility is calculated on a monthly basis and fluctuates based on qualifying amounts of coal inventory and trade accounts receivable (the “Borrowing Base”) and the facility's covenant limitations related to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in therein). In accordance with terms of the ABL Facility, the Company may be required to collateralize the ABL Facility to the extent outstanding borrowings and letters of credit under the ABL Facility exceed the Borrowing Base after considering covenant limitations.

The ABL Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of Alpha’s direct and indirect subsidiaries (together with Alpha, the “Loan Parties”) and secured by all or substantially all assets of the Loan Parties, including equity in Alpha’s direct domestic subsidiaries, ~~and first-tier foreign subsidiaries,~~ as collateral for the obligations under the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility has a first lien on ABL priority collateral and a second lien on Term Loan Priority Collateral. The ABL Agreement, as amended, and related documents contain negative and affirmative covenants including certain financial covenants. The Company is in compliance with all covenants under these agreements as of March 31, 2022.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the assets and liabilities in the tables above:

Level 1 Fair Value Measurements

Trading Securities - ~~Includes~~Typically includes money market funds and other cash equivalents. The fair value is based on observable market data.

Level 2 Fair Value Measurements

Term Loan Credit Facility - due June 2024 - The fair value is based on the average between bid and ask prices provided by a third-party. As the fair value is based on observable market inputs and due to limited trading volume in the Term Loan Credit Facility, the Company has classified the fair value within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Trading Securities - ~~Includes~~Typically includes certificates of deposit, mutual funds, corporate debt securities and U.S. treasury and agency securities. The fair values of the Company’s trading securities are obtained from a third-party pricing service provider. The fair values provided by the pricing service provider are based on observable market inputs including credit spreads and broker-dealer quotes, among other inputs. The Company classifies the prices obtained from the pricing services within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because the underlying inputs are directly observable from active markets. However, the pricing models used entail a certain amount of subjectivity and therefore differing judgments in how the underlying inputs are modeled could result in different estimates of fair value.

~~(Unaudited, amounts in thousands except share and per share data)~~

Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

~~ABL Facility - due April 2022~~ - Observable transactions are not available to aid in determining the fair value of this item. Therefore, the fair value was derived by using the expected present value approach in which estimated cash flows are discounted using a risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk (discount rate of approximately 9% as of December 31, 2020).

~~LCC Note Payable, LCC Water Treatment Obligation, UMWA Funds Settlement Liability and~~ Environmental Settlement Obligations - Observable transactions are not available to aid in determining the fair value of these items. Therefore, the fair value was derived by using the expected present value approach in which estimated cash flows are discounted using a risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk (discount rates of approximately ~~22%~~12% and ~~34%~~13% as of ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively).

Contingent Revenue Obligation - The fair value of the contingent revenue obligation was estimated using a Black-Scholes pricing model and is marked to market at each reporting period with changes in value reflected in earnings. The inputs included in the Black-Scholes pricing model are the Company's forecasted future revenue, the stated royalty rate, the remaining periods in the obligation, annual risk-free interest rate based on the U.S. Constant Maturity Treasury Curve and annualized volatility. The annualized volatility was calculated by observing volatilities for comparable companies with adjustments for the Company's size and leverage. The range of significant unobservable inputs used to value the ~~contingent revenue obligation~~Contingent Revenue Obligation as of ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, are set forth in the following table:

the valuation allowance results in part from ~~an increase~~a decrease in deferred tax assets ~~for which~~since the ~~Company is unable to support realization.~~prior reporting date of December 31, 2021. The Company currently is relying primarily on the reversal of taxable temporary differences, along with consideration of taxable income via carryback to prior years and tax planning strategies, to support the realization of deferred tax assets. For each reporting period, the Company updates its assessment regarding the realizability of its deferred tax assets, including scheduling the reversal of its deferred tax assets and liabilities, to determine the amount of valuation allowance needed. Scheduling the reversal of deferred tax asset and liability balances requires judgment and estimation. The Company believes the deferred tax liabilities relied upon as future taxable income in its assessment will reverse in the same period and jurisdiction and are of the same character as the temporary differences giving rise to the deferred tax assets that will be realized. The valuation allowance recorded represents the portion of deferred tax assets for which the Company is unable to support realization through the methods described above.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company has recorded a current federal and state income taxes payable of $38,249, classified as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, an annual census data actuarial revaluation of pension obligations was performed, which resulted in a decrease in the liability for pension obligations of approximately $8,838 with the offset to accumulated other comprehensive gain and a slight increase in net periodic benefit to be recognized subsequent to the revaluation date.

As a result of the recent funding relief granted under the American Rescue Plan Act, estimated contributions requirements to the pension plans were reduced relative to the Company’s previous estimates. The Company contributed $3,701 to the pension plans during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and expects to contribute $7,664 in the remainder of 2021.

(15) Commitments and Contingencies

(a) General

Estimated losses from loss contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the loss contingency is made in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a loss may be incurred and that the loss could be material.

(b) Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

The Company leases coal mining and other equipment under long-term financing and operating leases with varying terms. In addition, the Company leases mineral interests and surface rights from landowners under various terms and royalty rates.

Coal royalty expense was $57,343 and $18,758 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Other Commitments

As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company has obligations under certain coal transportation agreements that contain minimum quantities to be shipped during contract periods from 2021 through 2022 with estimated obligations based on remaining tons to be shipped totaling $32,940 in 2022. The Company also has obligations under certain coal purchase agreements that contain minimum quantities to be purchased in the remainder of ~~2021~~2022 totaling an estimated $33,477, which includes an estimated $3,230 related to contractually committed fixed priced tons from vendors with historical performance resulting in less than 20% of the committed tonnage being delivered.$71,226.

Contingencies

Extensive regulation of the impacts of mining on the environment and of maintaining workplace safety has had, and is expected to continue to have, a significant effect on the Company’s costs of production and results of operations. Further regulations, legislation or litigation in these areas may also cause the Company’s sales or profitability to decline by increasing costs or by hindering the Company’s ability to continue mining at existing operations or to permit new operations.

During the normal course of business, contract-related matters arise between the Company and its customers. When a loss related to such matters is considered probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records a liability.

As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, per terms of the Cumberland Back-to-Back Coal Supply Agreements, the Company is required to purchase and sell ~~1,226 and 2,615~~1,600 tons of coal in the remainder of ~~2021 and~~ 2022 totaling ~~$47,803 and $101,990, respectively.~~$61,853.

~~Future Federal Income Tax Refunds~~

As of June 30, 2021, the Company has recorded $64,160 of current federal income tax receivable and associated interest receivable of $5,385 related to a net operating loss (“NOL”) carryback claim. Because the federal government was a creditor in the Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. bankruptcy proceedings, it is possible that the federal government could withhold some or all of the tax refund attributable to the NOL carryback claim and assert a right to set off the tax refund and associated interest receivable against its prepetition bankruptcy claims.

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to certain guarantees and financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, such as bank letters of credit, performance or surety bonds, and other guarantees and indemnities related to the obligations of affiliated entities which are not reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, the underlying liabilities that they secure, such as asset retirement obligations, workers’ compensation liabilities, and royalty obligations, are reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company is required to provide financial assurance in order to perform the post-mining reclamation required by its mining permits, pay workers’ compensation claims under workers’ compensation laws in various states, pay federal black lung benefits, and perform certain other obligations. In order to provide the required financial assurance, the Company generally uses surety bonds for post-mining reclamation and workers’ compensation obligations. The Company can also use bank letters of credit to collateralize certain obligations.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $128,752 letters of credit outstanding under the Amended and Restated Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement. Additionally, as of June 30, 2021, the Company had $613 letters of credit outstanding

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $121,037 letters of credit outstanding under the Second Amended and Restated Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement. Additionally, as of March 31, 2022, the Company had $50 in letters of credit outstanding under the Credit and Security Agreement dated June 30, 2017, and related amendments, between ANR, Inc. and First Tennessee Bank National Association. ~~On March 31, 2021, the Amended and Restated Letter of Credit Agreement dated November 9, 2018 between ANR, Inc. and Citibank, N.A. was terminated.~~

As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company had outstanding surety bonds with a total face amount of ~~$211,694~~$174,198 to secure various obligations and ~~commitments, including $30 attributable to discontinued operations.~~commitments. To secure the Company’s reclamation-related obligations, the Company has ~~$42,211~~$36,774 of collateral in the form of restricted cash and deposits and $15,548 of letters of credit outstanding supporting these obligations as of ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

The Company meets frequently with its surety providers and has discussions with certain providers regarding the extent of and the terms of their participation in the program. These discussions may cause the Company to shift surety bonds between providers or to alter the terms of their participation in our program. To the extent that surety bonds become unavailable or the Company’s surety bond providers require additional collateral, the Company would seek to secure its obligations with letters of credit, cash deposits or other suitable forms of collateral. The Company’s failure to maintain, or inability to acquire, surety bonds or to provide a suitable alternative would have a material adverse effect on its liquidity. These failures could result from a variety of factors including lack of availability, higher cost or unfavorable market terms of new surety bonds, and the exercise by third-party surety bond issuers of their right to refuse to renew the surety.

DCMWC Reauthorization Process

In July 2019, the U.S. Department of Labor (Division of Coal Mine Workers’ Compensation or “DCMWC”) began implementing a new authorization process for all self-insured coal mine operators. As requested by the DCMWC, the Company filed an application and supporting documentation for reauthorization to self-insure certain of its black lung obligations in October 2019. As a result of this application, the DCMWC notified the Company in a letter dated February 21, 2020 that the Company was reauthorized to self-insure certain of its black lung obligations for a period of one-year from February 21, 2020. The DCMWC reauthorization is contingent, however, upon the Company’s providing collateral of $65,700 to secure certain of its black lung obligations. This proposed collateral requirement is an increase from the approximate $2,600 in collateral that the Company currently provides to secure these self-insured black lung obligations. The reauthorization process provided the Company with the right to appeal the security determination in writing within 30 days of the date of the notification, which appeal period the DCMWC agreed to extend to May 22, 2020. The Company exercised this right of appeal in connection with the substantial increase in the amount of required collateral. ~~However, there has been no substantive activity under the appeal since its filing.~~ In February 2021, the U.S. Department of Labor (“DOL”) withdrew its Federal Register notice seeking comments on its bulletin describing its new method of calculating collateral requirements. The Department removed the bulletin from its website in May 2021. On February 10, 2022, a telephone conference was held with DCMWC and DOL decision makers wherein the Company presented facts and arguments in support of its appeal. No ruling has been made on the appeal, but during the call the Company indicated that it would be willing to allocate an additional $10,000 in collateral. If the Company’s appeal is unsuccessful, the Company may be required to provide additional letters of credit to receive the self-insurance reauthorization from the DCMWC or alternatively insure these black lung obligations through a third party provider that would likely also require the Company to provide additional collateral. Either of these outcomes could potentially reduce the Company’s liquidity.

(d) Legal Proceedings

The Company is party to legal proceedings from time to time. These proceedings, as well as governmental examinations, could involve various business units and a variety of claims including, but not limited to, contract disputes, personal injury claims, property damage claims (including those resulting from blasting, trucking and flooding), environmental and safety issues, securities-related matters and employment matters. While some legal matters may specify the damages claimed by the plaintiffs, many seek an unquantified amount of damages. Even when the amount of damages claimed against the Company or its subsidiaries is stated, (i) the claimed amount may be exaggerated or unsupported; (ii) the claim may be based on a novel legal theory or involve a large number of parties; (iii) there may be uncertainty as to the likelihood of a class being certified or the ultimate size of the class; (iv) there may be uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; and/or (v) there may be significant factual issues to be resolved. As a result, if such legal matters arise in the future, the Company may be unable to estimate a range of possible loss for matters that have not yet progressed sufficiently through discovery and development of important factual information and legal issues. The Company records accruals based on an estimate of the ultimate outcome of these matters, but these estimates can be difficult to determine and involve significant judgment.

~~(17)~~(16) Segment Information

The Company extracts, processes and markets met and thermal coal from deep and surface mines for sale to steel and coke producers, industrial customers, and electric utilities. The Company conducts mining operations only in the United States with mines in Central Appalachia (“CAPP”). The Company has 1 reportable segment: Met, which consists of 5 active mines and 2 preparation plants in Virginia, 14 active mines and 5 preparation plants in West Virginia, as well as expenses associated with certain idled/closed mines. Prior to the first quarter of 2021, the Company had 2 reportable segments: CAPP - Met and CAPP - Thermal. As a result of the Company’s continued strategic focus on the production of metallurgical coal and the reduction of thermal mining operations, the Company re-evaluated its previous conclusions with respect to its segment

~~reporting during the first quarter of 2021. To conform to the current period reportable segments presentation, the prior periods have been restated to reflect the change in reportable segments.~~

In addition to the 1 reportable segment, the All Other category includes general corporate overhead and corporate assets and liabilities, the former CAPP - Thermal operations consisting of 1 active mine and 1 preparation plant in West Virginia, and the elimination of certain intercompany activity, as well as expenses associated with certain idled/closed mines.

Reportable segment operating results are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), who is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Central Appalachia or CAPP. Coal producing area in eastern Kentucky, Virginia, southern West Virginia and a portion of eastern Tennessee.

Coal reserves. The economically mineable part of a measured or indicated coal resource, which includes diluting materials and allowances for losses that may occur when coal is mined or extracted.

Coal resources. Coal deposits in such form, quality, and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for economic extraction.

Coal seam. Coal deposits occur in layers. Each layer is called a “seam.”

Coke. A hard, dry carbon substance produced by heating coal to a very high temperature in the absence of air. Coke is used in the manufacture of iron and steel. Its production results in a number of useful byproducts.

Cumberland Back-to-Back Coal Supply Agreement. Certain agreements with Iron Senergy under which Iron Senergy will sell to the Company all of the coal that the Company is obligated to sell to customers under Cumberland coal supply agreements (“Cumberland CSAs”) which existed as of the transaction closing date but did not transfer to Iron Senergy at closing (each, a “Cumberland Back-to-Back Coal Supply Agreement”). Each Cumberland Back-to-Back Coal Supply Agreement has economic terms identical to, but offsetting, the related Cumberland CSA. If a Cumberland customer subsequently consents to assign a Cumberland CSA to Iron Senergy after closing, the related Cumberland CSA will immediately and automatically transfer to Iron Senergy and the related Cumberland Back-to-Back Coal Supply Agreements executed by the parties shall thereupon terminate as set forth therein.

ESG. Environmental, social and governance sustainability criteria.

Merger. Merger with ANR, Inc. and Alpha Natural Resources Holdings, Inc. completed on November 9, 2018.

Metallurgical coal. The various grades of coal suitable for carbonization to make coke for steel manufacture. Also known as “met” coal, its quality ~~depends~~is primarily differentiated based on ~~four important criteria:~~ volatility ~~which affects coke yield; the level~~or its percent of ~~impurities including sulfur and ash, which affect coke quality; composition, which affects coke strength; and basic characteristics, which affect coke oven safety.~~volatile matter. Met coal typically has a particularly high BTU but low ash and sulfur content.

Northern Appalachia or NAPP. Coal producing area in Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia.

Operating Margin. Coal revenues less cost of coal sales.

~~Reserve.~~ ~~That part of a mineral deposit that could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination.~~

Roof. The stratum of rock or other mineral above a coal seam; the overhead surface of a coal working place.

Sulfur. One of the elements present in varying quantities in coal that contributes to environmental degradation when coal is burned. Sulfur dioxide is produced as a gaseous by-product of coal combustion.

Surface mine. A mine in which the coal lies near the surface and can be extracted by removing the covering layer of soil.

Thermal coal. Coal used by power plants and industrial steam boilers to produce electricity, steam or both. It generally is lower in BTU heat content and higher in volatile matter than metallurgical coal.

Tons. A “short” or net ton is equal to 2,000 pounds. A “long” or British ton is equal to 2,240 pounds; a “metric” ton (or “tonne”) is approximately 2,205 pounds. Tonnage amounts in this report are stated in short tons, unless otherwise indicated.

Business Overview

We are a Tennessee-based mining company with operations across Virginia and West Virginia. With customers across the globe, high-quality reserves and significant port capacity, we ~~are a leading U.S. supplier of~~reliably supply metallurgical coal products ~~for~~to the steel industry. We operate high-quality, cost-competitive coal mines across the CAPP coal basin. As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, our operations consisted of twenty active mines and eight coal preparation and load-out facilities, with approximately ~~3,300~~3,560 employees. We produce, process, and sell met coal and thermal coal. We also sell coal produced by others, some of which is processed and/or blended with coal produced from our mines prior to resale, with the remainder purchased for resale. As of December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we had ~~623.5~~351.1 million tons of reserves, ~~including 445.0~~335.8 million tons of proven and probable metallurgical reserves, and ~~178.5~~15.3 million tons of proven and probable thermal reserves. Additionally, we had approximately 381.7 million tons of in situ bituminous coal resources.

For the three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ sales of met coal were ~~3.3~~3.5 million tons and ~~3.1~~3.4 million tons, respectively, and accounted for approximately ~~83%~~88% and ~~80%~~82%, respectively, of our coal sales volume. Sales of thermal coal were ~~0.7~~0.5 million tons and ~~0.8~~0.7 million tons, respectively, and accounted for approximately ~~17%~~12% and 20%, respectively, of our coal sales volume. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, sales of met coal were 6.7 million tons and 6.3 million tons, respectively, and accounted for approximately 83% and 80%, respectively, of our coal sales volume. Sales of thermal coal were 1.4 million tons and 1.5 million tons, respectively, and accounted for approximately 17% and 20%18%, respectively, of our coal sales volume.

Our sales of met coal were made primarily to steel companies in the northeastern and midwestern regions of the United States and in several countries in Asia, Europe, ~~Asia~~ and the Americas. Our sales of thermal coal were made primarily to large utilities and industrial customers throughout the United States. For the three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021 approximately 84% and ~~2020 approximately 65% and 68%~~63%, respectively, of our ~~total coal revenues were derived from coal sales made to customers outside the United States. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 approximately 64% and 65%, respectively, of our total~~ coal revenues were derived from coal sales made to customers outside the United States.

In addition, we generate other revenues from equipment sales, rentals, terminal and processing fees, coal and environmental analysis fees, royalties and the sale of natural gas. We also record freight and handling fulfillment revenue within coal revenues for freight and handling services provided in delivering coal to certain customers, which are a component of the contractual selling price.

As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we have one reportable segment: Met. ~~To conform to the current period reportable segment presentation, the prior periods have been restated to reflect the change in reportable segments.~~ Our Met segment operations consist of high-quality met coal mines, including Deep Mine 41, Road Fork 52, Black Eagle, and Lynn Branch. The coal produced by our Met segment operations is predominantly met coal with some amounts of thermal coal being produced as a byproduct of mining. In addition to the one reportable segment, our All Other category includes general corporate overhead and corporate assets and liabilities, our former CAPP - Thermal operations consisting of one active mine and one preparation plant in West Virginia, and the elimination of certain intercompany activity, as well as expenses associated with certain idled/closed mines. Refer to Note 1716 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional disclosures on reportable segments, geographic areas, and export coal revenue information.

The disposition of our former NAPP operations during the fourth quarter of 2020 accelerated our strategic exit from thermal coal production to shift our focus toward met coal production. The former NAPP operations results of operations and financial position are reported as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The historical information in the accompanying Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements has been restated to reflect the effects of these former operations being reported as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 2 for further information on discontinued operations. ~~We are nearly sold out of thermal production~~

for 2021. At our thermal coal operations, we have significantly reduced inventories at all locations and are matching our sales and production to make for an orderly transition to lower thermal coal production.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

Sales Agreements. We manage our commodity price risk for coal sales through the use of coal supply agreements. As of ~~July 26, 2021,~~April 20, 2022, we had sales commitments for ~~2021~~2022 as follows:


		Tons	% Priced		Average Realized Price per Ton		Tons	% Priced		Average Realized Price per Ton
Met - Domestic	Met - Domestic				$87.86	Met - Domestic				$189.22
Met - Export	Met - Export				$91.24	Met - Export				$297.01
Met Total	Met Total	13.5 million	79	%	$89.78	Met Total	14.5 million	53	%	$243.88
Thermal	Thermal	1.5 million	98	%	$52.68	Thermal	1.0 million	96	%	$53.26
Met Segment	Met Segment	15.0 million	81	%	$85.30	Met Segment	15.5 million	56	%	$222.63
All Other	All Other	1.5 million	100	%	$59.66	All Other	0.7 million	100	%	$57.70

Due to the significant uncertainty in the worldwide coal markets due to COVID-19, there is risk of reduction in future shipments due to deferrals and utilization of force majeure clauses in customer contracts.

Realized Pricing. Our realized price per ton of coal is influenced by many factors that vary by region, including (i) coal quality, which includes energy (heat content), sulfur, ash, volatile matter and moisture content; (ii) differences in market conventions concerning transportation costs and volume measurement; and (iii) regional supply and demand.

Costs. Our results of operations are dependent upon our ability to maximize productivity and control costs. Our primary expenses are for operating supply costs, repair and maintenance expenditures, cost of purchased coal, royalties, ~~current~~ wages and benefits, freight and handling costs and taxes incurred in selling our coal. Principal goods and services we use in our operations include maintenance and repair parts and services, electricity, fuel, roof control and support items, explosives, tires, conveyance ~~structure,~~structures, ventilation supplies and lubricants. Our management strives to aggressively control costs and improve operating performance to mitigate external cost pressures. We experience volatility in operating costs related to fuel, explosives, steel, tires, contract services and healthcare, among others, and take measures to mitigate the increases in these costs at all operations. We have a centralized sourcing group for major supplier contract negotiation and administration, for the negotiation and purchase of major capital goods, and to support the business units. We promote competition between suppliers and seek to develop relationships with suppliers that focus on lowering our costs. We seek suppliers who identify and concentrate on implementing continuous improvement opportunities within their area of expertise. To the extent upward pressure on costs exceeds our ability to realize sales increases, or if we experience unanticipated operating or transportation difficulties, our operating margins would be negatively impacted. We may also experience difficult geologic conditions, delays in obtaining permits, labor shortages, unforeseen equipment problems, and unexpected shortages of critical materials such as tires, fuel and explosives that may result in adverse cost increases and limit our ability to produce at forecasted levels.

Results of Operations

Our results of operations for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021 ~~and 2020~~ are discussed in these “Results of Operations” presented below.

~~Selling, general and administrative.~~ Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.6 million, or 21.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year period. This increase in expense was primarily related to increases of $2.3 million in incentive pay, $0.2 million in wages and benefits expense, and $0.2 million in stock compensation expense, partially offset by a decrease of $0.2 million in professional fees.

The mark-to-market adjustment for acquisition-related obligations resulted in a decrease to income of ~~$5.2~~$6.2 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 compared to the prior year period. This decrease was related to the ~~$3.2~~$9.4 million Contingent Revenue Obligation mark-to-market adjustment recorded during the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 due to changes in underlying fair value assumptions during the current period. Refer to Note 1211 for Contingent Revenue Obligation fair value input assumptions.

~~Other income~~. Other income increased $3.6 million, or 7,917.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in income on sale of assets in the current period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

~~Table of Contents~~

The discussion below contains “non-GAAP financial measures.” These are financial measures which either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”). Specifically, we make use of the non-GAAP financial measures “Adjusted EBITDA,” “non-GAAP coal revenues,” “non-GAAP cost of coal sales,” “non-GAAP coal margin,” and “Adjusted cost of produced coal sold.” We use Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of our segments and allocate resources to the segments. Adjusted EBITDA does not purport to be an alternative to net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance or any other measure of operating results or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. We use non-GAAP coal revenues to present coal revenues generated, excluding freight and handling fulfillment revenues. Non-GAAP coal sales realization per ton for our operations is calculated as non-GAAP coal revenues divided by tons sold. We use non-GAAP cost of coal sales to adjust cost of coal sales to remove freight and handling costs, depreciation, depletion and amortization - production (excluding the depreciation, depletion and amortization related to selling, general and administrative functions), accretion on asset retirement obligations, amortization of acquired intangibles, net, and idled and closed mine costs. Non-GAAP cost of coal sales per ton for our operations is calculated as non-GAAP cost of coal sales divided by tons sold. Non-GAAP coal margin per ton for our coal operations is calculated as non-GAAP coal sales realization per ton for our coal operations less non-GAAP cost of coal sales per ton for our coal operations. We also use Adjusted cost of produced coal sold to distinguish the cost of captive produced coal from the effects of purchased coal. The presentation of these measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Management uses non-GAAP financial measures to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. The definition of these non-GAAP measures may be changed periodically by management to adjust for significant items important to an understanding of operating trends and to adjust for items that may not reflect the trend of future results by excluding transactions that are not indicative of our core operating performance. Furthermore, analogous measures are used by industry analysts to evaluate the Company’s operating performance. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate, and capital investments.

Included below are reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures.

The following tables summarize certain financial information relating to our coal operations for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2020:~~

Non-GAAP Cost of coal sales. Met segment operations non-GAAP cost of coal sales increased ~~$23.6~~$129.4 million, or ~~9.9%~~49.3%, for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by anincreased rail freight costs, royalties and taxes, supplies and maintenance expense, salaries and wages expense, and a slight increase in tons sold, ~~and increased supplies and maintenance expense and salaries and wages expense during the current period,~~ partially offset by inventory change during the current period.

All Other category non-GAAP cost of coal sales decreased ~~$17.7~~$4.2 million, or ~~60.3%~~24.1%, for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in thermal tons sold, ~~decreased supplies and maintenance expense, royalties and taxes, and~~ inventory change during the current period, and decreased royalties and taxes, partially offset by increased salaries and wages expense and supplies and maintenance expense.

Our non-GAAP cost of coal sales includes purchased coal costs. In the following tables, we calculate Adjusted cost of produced coal sold as non-GAAP cost of coal sales less purchased coal costs.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is presented as a supplemental measure and is not intended to replace financial performance or liquidity measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, this measure is not calculated identically by all companies and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it is a useful indicator of the financial performance of our coal operations. The following tables present a reconciliation of net ~~loss~~income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2020:~~2021:

~~Cost of coal sales.~~ Cost of coal sales increased $24.7 million, or 3.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in tons sold in the current period relative to the prior year period, increased supplies and maintenance expense, royalties and taxes, and salaries and wages expense, partially offset by decreased costs of purchased coal and inventory change during the current period.

~~Depreciation, depletion and amortization.~~ Depreciation, depletion and amortization decreased $38.9 million, or 41.1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year period. The decrease in depreciation, depletion and amortization was primarily due to asset disposals and asset impairments throughout the prior year.

~~Amortization of acquired intangibles, net.~~ Amortization of acquired intangibles, net increased $4.0 million, or 168.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by the lower current period amortization related to below-market acquired coal supply agreements.

~~Asset impairment and restructuring.~~ Asset impairment and restructuring decreased $54.8 million, or 101.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, asset impairment and

restructuring includes long-lived asset impairment of $0.1 million and restructuring expense of ($0.6) million. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, asset impairment and restructuring includes long-lived asset impairment of $51.1 million and restructuring expense of $3.1 million. Refer to Note 8 for further information.

~~Selling, general and administrative.~~ Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.1 million, or 7.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year period. This increase in expense was primarily related to increases of $2.9 million in incentive pay and $0.9 million in stock compensation expense, partially offset by decreases of $0.7 million in severance expense, $0.5 million in professional fees, and $0.4 million in wages and benefits expense.

~~Mark-to-market adjustment for acquisition-related obligations.~~ The mark-to-market adjustment for acquisition-related obligations resulted in a decrease to income of $23.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year period. This decrease was related to the $6.3 million Contingent Revenue Obligation mark-to-market adjustment recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to changes in underlying fair value assumptions during the current period. Refer to Note 12~~for Contingent Revenue Obligation fair value input assumptions.~~

~~Other income~~. Other income increased $4.1 million, or 577.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in income on sale of assets in the current period.

~~Interest income.~~ Interest income decreased $6.2 million, or 95.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to the interest income recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2020 associated with the federal income tax interest receivable related to the net operating loss carryback claim. Refer to Note 16 for additional information on future federal income tax refunds.

~~Miscellaneous income (loss), net.~~ Miscellaneous income (loss), net increased $3.9 million, or 1,225.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary liquidity and capital resource requirements stem from the cost of our coal production and purchases, our capital expenditures, our debt service, our reclamation obligations, taxes, our regulatory costs and settlements and associated costs. Our primary sources of liquidity are derived from sales of coal, our debt financing, and miscellaneous revenues.

We believe that cash on hand and cash generated from our operations ~~and expected tax refunds~~ will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements, anticipated capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisition-related obligations, and reclamation obligations for the next 12 ~~months.~~months and the reasonably foreseeable future. We rely on a number of assumptions in budgeting for our future activities. These include the costs for mine development to sustain capacity of our operating mines, our cash flows from operations, effects of regulation and taxes by governmental agencies, mining technology improvements and reclamation costs. These assumptions are inherently subject to significant business, political, economic, regulatory, environmental and competitive uncertainties, pending and existing climate-related initiatives, contingencies and risks, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Increased scrutiny of ESG matters specific to the coal sector could negatively influence our ability to raise capital in the future and result in a reduced number of surety and insurance providers. We may need to raise additional funds if market conditions deteriorate, and we may not be able to do so in a timely fashion, on terms acceptable to us, or at all; or one or more of our assumptions prove to be incorrect or if we choose to expand our acquisition, exploration, appraisal, or development efforts or any other activity more rapidly than we presently anticipate. Additionally, we may elect to raise additional funds before we need them if the conditions for raising capital are favorable. We may seek to sell equity or debt securities or obtain additional bank credit facilities. The sale of equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of additional indebtedness could result in increased fixed obligations and additional covenants that could restrict our operations.

In accordance with terms of the ABL Facility, we may be required to cash collateralize the ABL Facility to the extent outstanding borrowings and letters of credit under the ABL Facility exceed the Borrowing Base after considering covenant limitations.

Cash Collateral

We are required to provide cash collateral to secure our obligations under certain worker’s compensation, black lung, ~~and~~ reclamation-related obligations, ~~and~~ financial payments and other performance obligations, and other operating agreements. Additionally, we ~~are required to provide cash collateral. At June 30, 2021, we had cash collateral in the amounts of $92.8 million, $31.4 million, and $6.8 million classified as long-term~~have short-term restricted cash ~~long-term restricted investments, and long-term deposits, respectively, on~~held in escrow related to our ~~Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.~~Contingent Revenue Obligation (refer to Note 9). Future regulatory changes relating to these obligations could result in increased obligations, additional costs, or additional collateral requirements which could require greater use of alternative sources of funding for this purpose, which would reduce our liquidity. Refer to the DCMWC Reauthorization Process section below for information related to the new authorization process for self-insured coal mine operators being implemented by the U.S. Department of Labor (Division of Coal Mine Workers’ Compensation). ~~Additionally, as~~As of March 31, 2022, we had the following cash collateral on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are required to provide financial assurance in order to perform the post-mining reclamation required by our mining permits, pay workers’ compensation claims under workers’ compensation laws in various states, pay federal black lung benefits, and perform certain other obligations. In order to provide the required financial assurance, we generally use surety bonds for post-mining reclamation and workers’ compensation obligations. We also use bank letters of credit to collateralize certain obligations. As of March 31, 2022, we had the following outstanding surety bonds and letters of credit:


(in thousands)	March 31, 2022
Surety bonds	$	174,198
Letters of credit (1)	$	121,087

(1) The letters of credit outstanding are under the Second Amended and Restated Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement dated December 6, 2021 and the Credit and Security Agreement dated June 30, 2017, and related amendments, between ANR, Inc. and First Tennessee Bank National Association.

Refer to Note 15, part (c) for further disclosures on off-balance sheet arrangements.

Debt Financing and Related Transactions

At March 31, 2022, we had $254.5 million of indebtedness outstanding before debt discount and issuance costs. Our indebtedness is primarily comprised of our Credit Agreement entered into on June 14, 2019 that provides for a senior secured term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $561.8 million with a maturity date of June ~~30, 2021,~~14, 2024 (the “Term Loan Credit Facility”). The Term Loan Credit Facility permits us, subject to approval of the administrative agent and the lenders providing the financing, to request incremental term loans up to an aggregate amount of $50.0 million subject to certain conditions in the Credit Agreement, in increments not less than $25.0 million or the remaining availability.

In a continued strategic effort to reduce our outstanding debt and strengthen our balance sheet, we made voluntary prepayments of $200.0 million and $150.0 million of outstanding principal borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Facility during the first and second quarters of 2022, respectively. Subject to continued coal market strength and available liquidity, we are planning to continue our efforts to substantially deleverage the balance sheet in coming quarters.

The ABL Agreement includes a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”). Under the ABL Facility, the Company may borrow cash or obtain letters of credit, on a revolving basis, in an aggregate amount of up to $155.0 million, of which no more than $150.0 million may represent outstanding letters of credit ($125.0 million on a committed basis and another $25.0 million on an uncommitted cash collateralized basis) with any borrowings having a maturity date of December 6, 2024. Availability under the ABL Facility is calculated on a monthly basis and fluctuates based on qualifying amounts of coal inventory and trade accounts receivable (the “Borrowing Base”) and the facility's covenant limitations related to our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (refer to “Analysis of Material Debt Covenants” below). In accordance with terms of the

Table of Contents

ABL Facility, we may be required to cash collateralize the ABL Facility to the extent outstanding borrowings and letters of credit under the ABL Facility exceed the Borrowing Base after considering covenant limitations.

Refer to Note 8 for additional disclosures on long-term debt.

Acquisition-Related Obligations

At March 31, 2022, we had ~~$3.8~~$49.6 million of acquisition-related obligations outstanding before discount. Our acquisition-related obligations are primarily comprised of the Contingent Revenue Obligation which has an offsetting short-term restricted cash amount held in escrow ~~related to our contingent revenue obligation. Refer~~(refer to Note ~~10 for further information regarding~~9 and Note 15). During the ~~contingent revenue obligation.~~second quarter of 2022, we paid $16.2 million pursuant to the terms of the Contingent Revenue Obligation.

~~On July 26, 2021, we repaid in full the West Virginia allocation of the Lexington Coal Company note payable (“LCC Note Payable”)~~Capital Requirements

We expect to spend between $160.0 million and $190.0 million on capital expenditures during 2022.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations are discussed in the ~~amount~~“Liquidity and Capital Resources—Contractual Obligations” section contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Our contractual obligations relating to the Term Loan Credit Facility decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2022 due to the voluntary prepayments we made during the period. Our contractual obligations relating to the Contingent Revenue Obligation increased during the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily as a result of ~~$21.2 million.~~increased coal pricing and an increase in forecasted future revenue.

DCMWC Reauthorization Process

The reauthorization process provided us with the right to appeal the security determination in writing within 30 days of the date of the notification, which appeal period the DCMWC agreed to extend to May 22, 2020, and we exercised this right of appeal. We strongly disagree with the DCMWC’s substantially higher collateral determination and the methodology through which the calculation was derived. ~~However, there has been no substantive activity under the appeal since its filing.~~ In February 2021, the U.S. Department of Labor (“DOL”) withdrew its Federal Register notice seeking comments on its bulletin describing its new method of calculating collateral requirements. The Department removed the bulletin from its website in May 2021. On February 10, 2022, a telephone conference was held with DCMWC and DOL decision makers wherein we presented facts and arguments in support of our appeal. No ruling has been made on the appeal, but during the call we indicated that we would be willing to allocate an additional $10.0 million in collateral. If our appeal is unsuccessful, we may be required to provide additional letters of credit in order to receive self-insurance reauthorization from the DCMWC or insure these black lung obligations through a third party provider, which would likely also require us to provide additional collateral. Either of these outcomes would significantly reduce our liquidity.

~~Net cash flows (used in) provided by operating activities consist of net loss adjusted for non-cash items. Net cash used~~The increase in ~~operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $25.5 million and was primarily attributable to~~ net loss of $51.9 million adjusted for depreciation, depletion and amortization of $55.7 million, accretion on asset retirement obligations of $13.3 million, amortization of debt issuance costs and accretion of debt discount of $6.5 million, amortization of acquired intangibles, net of $6.4 million, and mark-to-market adjustment for acquisition-related obligations of $6.3 million, more than offset by the change in our operating assets and liabilities of $66.3 million.

~~Net~~ cash provided by operating activities for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020 was $78.9 million and~~March 31, 2022 compared to the prior year period was primarily attributable to ~~net loss~~the improvement in our results from operations as discussed above in “Results of $278.1 million adjusted for asset impairment and restructuring of $217.9 million, depreciation, depletion and amortization of $103.7 million, deferred income taxes of $33.0 million, and accretion on asset retirement obligations of $14.7 million,Operations,” partially offset by ~~the change~~changes in ~~our~~ operating assets and liabilities, ~~of $22.7 million.~~primarily attributable to an increase in our working capital. Our working capital increase was primarily driven by an increase in our trade accounts receivable, net, partially offset by an increase in our current federal and state income tax payable (refer to Note 12).

~~Long-Term Debt~~

~~Refer~~Term Loan Credit Facility and the common stock repurchases under our share repurchase program during the current period (refer to Note 97 and Note 8 for ~~additional disclosures on long-term debt.~~further information).

Analysis of Material Debt Covenants

We are in compliance with all covenants under the Credit ~~Agreement~~Agreement’s Term Loan Credit Facility and the ~~Amended and Restated Asset-Based Revolving Credit~~ABL Agreement, as of ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. A breach of the covenants in the Credit ~~Agreement~~Agreement’s Term Loan Credit Facility or the ~~Amended and Restated Asset-Based Revolving Credit~~ABL Agreement could result in a default under the terms of such agreement, and the respective lenders could then elect to declare all amounts borrowed due and payable.

~~Table of Contents~~

Pursuant to the ~~Amended and Restated Asset-Based Revolving Credit~~ABL Agreement, during any Liquidity Period (capitalized terms as defined in the ~~Amended and Restated Asset-Based Revolving Credit~~ABL Agreement), our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio cannot be less than 1.0 as of the last day of any Test Period, commencing with the Test Period ended immediately preceding the commencement of such Liquidity Period. The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is calculated as (a) Consolidated EBITDA of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period, minus non-financed Capital Expenditures (including Capital Expenditures financed with the proceeds of any Loans) paid or payable currently in cash by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for such period to (b) the Fixed Charges of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries during such period. As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we were not in a Liquidity Period.

~~Acquisition-Related Obligations~~

~~Refer to Note 10 for additional details and disclosures on acquisition-related obligations.~~

~~Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements~~

~~Refer to Note 16, part (c) for disclosures on off-balance sheet arrangements.~~

~~Other~~

As a regular part of our business, we review opportunities for, and engage in discussions and negotiations concerning, the acquisition or disposition of coal mining and related infrastructure assets and interests in coal mining companies, and acquisitions or dispositions of, or combinations or other strategic transactions involving companies with coal mining or other energy assets. When we believe that these opportunities are consistent with our strategic plans and our acquisition or disposition criteria, we will make bids or proposals and/or enter into letters of intent and other similar agreements. These bids or proposals, which may be binding or non-binding, are customarily subject to a variety of conditions and usually permit us to terminate the discussions and any related agreement if, among other things, we are not satisfied with the results of due diligence. Any acquisition opportunities we pursue could materially affect our liquidity and capital resources and may require us to incur indebtedness, seek equity capital or both. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

~~Contractual Obligations~~

Our contractual obligations are discussed in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Our contractual obligations relating to transportation commitments increased during the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily as a result of new agreements during the period. Additionally, our contractual obligations relating to coal purchase commitments decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily as a result of fewer coal purchase agreements in the current period compared to the prior year period. The table below reflects these obligations as of June 30, 2021:

(in thousands) Remainder of 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 After 2025 Total
Transportation commitments $ — $ 32,940 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 32,940

~~(1)~~ ~~Includes an estimated $3.2 million related to contractually committed fixed priced tons from vendors with historical performance resulting in less than 20% of the committed tonnage being delivered.~~

~~We expect to spend between $88.0 million and $98.0 million on capital expenditures during 2021.~~

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors and assumptions, including the current economic environment, that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and adjust such estimates and assumptions as facts and circumstances require. Foreign currency and energy markets, and fluctuations in demand for steel products have combined to increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be determined

~~Table of Contents~~

with precision, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in these estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.

Table of Contents

Our critical accounting policies are discussed in ~~“Item 7. Management’s Discussion~~the“Critical Accounting Policies and ~~Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”~~Estimates” section contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Our critical accounting policies remain unchanged at ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. Refer to Note 1 for disclosures related to new accounting policies adopted.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

~~Not required.~~Commodity Price Risk

We manage our commodity price risk for coal sales through the use of coal supply agreements. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations” for information on our sales commitments for 2022.

We have exposure to commodity price risk for supplies that are used directly or indirectly in the normal course of production such as diesel fuel, steel and other items such as explosives. We manage our risk for these items through strategic sourcing contracts in normal quantities with our suppliers.

The market price of diesel fuel fluctuates due to changes in production, seasonality, and other market factors generally outside of our control. Increased fuel costs may have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition. Based upon our 2021 diesel fuel consumption (approximately 23.0 million gallons), a 10% increase in the average annual price per gallon of diesel fuel would have increased our annual diesel fuel expense by approximately $5.4 million. As of March 31, 2022, we had diesel fuel purchase commitments for 2022 as follows:

Budgeted Usage in Gallons (1)

% Priced

Average Realized Price per Gallon

Diesel fuel

22.6 million

67.0

$2.81

(1) Includes fixed price purchase agreements covering approximately 13.1 million gallons (57.9% of expected 2022 usage).

Interest Rate Risk

We have market risk exposure with respect to interest rates on variable rate borrowings. As of March 31, 2022, outstanding borrowings under our Term Loan Credit Facility have interest rates which may fluctuate based on changes in the market rates of interest.As of March 31, 2022, a 50 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would not have impacted our annual interest expense as the LIBOR rate was well below the 2% floor established per terms in our Term Loan Credit Facility. Refer to Note 8 for additional information. Also refer to the“Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 14” section contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for discussion on the terms of our long-term debt.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars, and, as a result, we do not have material exposure to currency exchange-rate risks. However, our coal is sold internationally in U.S. dollars and, as a result, general economic conditions in foreign markets and changes in foreign currency exchange rates may provide our foreign competitors with a competitive advantage. If our competitors’ currencies decline against the U.S. dollar or against our foreign customers’ local currencies, those competitors may be able to offer lower prices for coal to customers. Furthermore, if the currencies of our overseas customers were to significantly decline in value in comparison to the U.S. dollar, those customers may seek decreased prices for the coal we sell to them. Consequently, currency fluctuations could adversely affect the competitiveness of our coal in international markets, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well

Table of Contents

designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision of our CEO and our CFO, the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and our CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our CEO, our CFO and other members of management do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Part II - Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

For a description of the Company’s legal proceedings, refer to Note ~~16,~~15, part (d), to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in the ~~“Item 1A. Risk~~“Risk Factors” section contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, together with the cautionary statement under the caption “Cautionary Note Regarding ~~Forward Looking~~Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These described risks are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

~~Table of Contents~~Dividends on our common stock are only payable if declared by the board and permitted by Delaware law.

Dividends on our common stock will be paid only if declared by the board of directors. The board is not legally obligated or required to declare dividends on our common stock even if we have funds available for that purpose. In addition, even if the board wishes to declare a dividend, we cannot make payments of cash in respect of dividends to the extent such payments are not permitted under Delaware law. If we do not declare and pay dividends on our common stock as expected, the market price of our common stock is likely to be adversely affected.

If our earnings and cash flow decline materially, we may be unable to continue to pay dividends on our common stock and/or execute our stock repurchase program as intended.

Our ability to pay dividends on our common stock and repurchase shares of common stock depends upon on our earnings and cash flows. If our earnings and cash flows were to decline materially, we may be unable to continue to pay dividends in the amounts previously paid, or at all. In addition, in such a circumstance we may be unable to execute our stock repurchase program in part or as a whole.
