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.

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 coal products for the steel industry.

Basis of Presentation

Together, the condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, 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 Income,” “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. 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 ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021.~~2022. 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 ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, ~~2022~~2023 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, ~~2021.~~2022.

~~COVID-19 Pandemic~~Reclassifications

Certain immaterial amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 in the Condensed Consolidated Financials Statements and notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financials Statements have been recast to reclassify discontinued operations and present the related amounts within continuing operations as part of the All Other category.

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 of the virus, its impact on 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~~Recent Accounting Guidance

~~Liabilities:~~ ~~In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”)~~There are no new pronouncements issued ~~Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-04,~~ ~~Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations~~ ~~(“ASU 2022-04”). This update enhances transparency about an entity’s use of supplier finance programs. The ASU requires entities~~but not yet effective expected to disclose information about the key terms of the program, outstanding confirmed amounts as of the end of the period, a rollforward of such amounts during each annual period, and a description of where in the financial statements outstanding amounts are presented. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with

~~early application permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2022-04 during the third quarter of 2022. The adoption of this ASU did not~~ have a material impact on the Company’s ~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.~~

~~Fair Value Measurement:~~ ~~In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03,~~ ~~Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement~~financial position, results of ~~Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions~~ (“ASU 2022-03”). This update clarifies how the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions is determined. Per the update, a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and is not considered in measuring fair value. Additionally, the update requires entities with investments in equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions to disclose certain qualitative and quantitative information about such securities.

~~(5)~~(4) Net Income Per Share

The number of shares used to calculate basic net income 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 income per common share is based on the number of common shares used to calculate basic net income 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 warrants. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock-based instruments is determined by application of the treasury stock method. The stock options and warrants become dilutive for diluted net income per common share calculations when the market price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the exercise price. Anti-dilution also occurs in periods of a net loss, and the dilutive impact of all warrants and share-based compensation awards are excluded.

For the three and six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023, 7,441 and ~~2021, 0 and 942,408 warrants and stock options~~3,721 stock-based instruments, respectively, were excluded from the computation of dilutive net income per common share because they would have been anti-dilutive. For ~~nine~~the three and six months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2022, ~~and 2021, 0 and 948,351~~no warrants, stock options, ~~and~~or other stock-based instruments ~~respectively,~~ were excluded from the computation of dilutive net income 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.

The following table presents the net income per common share for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021:~~2022:

~~Term Loan Credit Facility - due June 2024~~

On June 14, 2019, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement that provided for a senior secured term loan facility with a maturity date of June 14, 2024 (the “Term Loan Credit Facility”). As of September 30, 2022, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Facility as a result of the Company’s voluntary prepayments of $449,435 of outstanding principal borrowings during the first and second quarters of 2022. Effective with the final voluntary prepayment on June 3, 2022, the Credit Agreement was terminated, and the Company was released of all underlying obligations including the Credit Agreement covenants. As December 31, 2021, the carrying value of the Term Loan Credit Facility was $443,241, all of which was classified as long-term within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The ABL Agreement provides that a specified percentage of billed and unbilled receivables and raw and clean inventory meeting certain criteria are eligible to be counted for purposes of collateralizing the amount of financing available, subject to certain terms and conditions. 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, 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. As noted above, the Term Loan Credit Facility was voluntarily prepaid in full on June 3, 2022, and in connection therewith, the Term Loan Priority Collateral has been released in connection therewith, and the ABL Facility’s lien on the Term Loan Priority Collateral is no longer second. 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 ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022.~~2023.

~~(1)~~ ~~The loss recognized in earnings resulted primarily from an increase in forecasted future revenue as of September 30, 2021.~~

~~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~~ ~~- Typically includes money market funds. The fair value is based on observable market data.~~

Level 2 Fair Value Measurements

~~Term Loan Credit Facility - due June 2024~~ - The fair value was based on the average between bid and ask prices provided by a third-party. As the fair value was based on observable market inputs and due to limited trading volume in the Term Loan Credit Facility, the Company had classified the fair value within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Effective June 3, 2022, the Term Loan Credit Facility was terminated. Refer to Note 9 for additional information.

Trading Securities - Typically includes certificates of deposit, corporate fixed income, and U.S. government 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.

Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

~~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 rate of approximately 0% as of September 30, 2022, based on the expected upcoming settlement date, and 13% as of December 31, 2021).

Contingent Revenue Obligation - The fair value of the ~~contingent revenue obligation~~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.~~model. The inputs included in the Black-Scholes pricing model are the ~~Company's~~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~~As the royalty period ended on December 31, 2022, the fair value of ~~significant unobservable inputs used to value~~ the ~~Contingent Revenue Obligation~~remaining obligation as of ~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, are set forth in~~that date represents the ~~following table:~~

~~(13)~~(12) Income Taxes

For the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2023, the Company recorded income tax expense of $76,009 on income before income taxes of $528,135. The income tax expense differs from the expected statutory amount primarily due to the permanent impact of percentage depletion and foreign-derived intangible income deductions, partially offset by the impact of state income taxes, net of federal impact. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded income tax expense of ~~$114,073~~$108,223 on income ~~from continuing operations~~ before income taxes of ~~$1,342,342.~~$1,083,271. The income tax expense differs from the expected statutory amount primarily due to the decrease in the valuation allowance and the permanent impact of percentage depletion and foreign-derived intangible income deductions, partially offset by the impact of state income taxes, net of federal impact. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded income tax expense of $211 on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $32,623. The income tax expense differs from the expected statutory amount primarily due to the decrease in the valuation allowance and the permanent impact of percentage depletion deductions, partially offset by the impact of state income taxes, net of federal impact.

As a result of generating income before income taxes during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a decrease of $73,673 to its deferred tax asset valuation allowance recorded as of December 31, 2021. The decrease in the valuation allowance results in part from a decrease in deferred tax assets since the 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company paid estimated federal and state income taxes of $120,165. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has recorded a current federal income taxes receivable of $16,271, classified as Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was signed into law. Among other provisions, the IRA enacts a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax and a 1% excise tax on repurchases of corporate stock for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the IRA.

~~(16)~~(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.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~ALPHA METALLURGICAL RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

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

Coal royalty expense was ~~$44,340~~$45,523 and ~~$30,077~~$72,627 for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, respectively. Coal royalty expense was ~~$174,310~~$97,024 and ~~$70,116~~$129,970 for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022 and 2021, respectively.~~

~~Other Commitments~~

As of September 30, 2022, the Company has obligations under certain coal purchase agreements that contain minimum quantities to be purchased in the remainder of 2022 and 2023 totaling an estimated $65,149 and $10,943, respectively. The Company also has obligations under certain unconditional purchase obligations totaling $47,776, $28,674, and $67,125 in the remainder of 2022, 2023 and ~~2024,~~2022, respectively.

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 September 30, 2022, per terms of the Cumberland Back-to-Back Coal Supply Agreements, the Company is required to purchase and sell 900 tons of coal in the remainder of 2022 totaling $34,733.~~ For the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, the Company purchased and sold ~~443~~206 and ~~514~~258 tons, respectively, totaling ~~$16,979~~$7,829 and ~~$19,948,~~$9,936, respectively, under the Cumberland Back-to-Back Coal Supply Agreements.

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 ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company had ~~$63,898~~$61,927 letters of credit outstanding under the ~~Second Amended and Restated Asset-Based Revolving Credit~~ABL Agreement. Additionally, as of September 30, 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.

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company had outstanding surety bonds with a total face amount of ~~$162,105~~$164,997 to secure various obligations and commitments. To secure the Company’s reclamation-related obligations, the Company has ~~$34,750~~$35,416 of collateral in the form of restricted cash and restricted investments ~~and deposits~~ supporting these obligations as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022.~~2023.

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 the 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. 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~~third-party provider that would likely also require the Company to provide additional collateral. ~~Either~~In January 2023, the DOL proposed for public comment new regulations which, if adopted, would substantially increase the collateral required to secure self-insured federal black lung obligations. Under the proposed 120% minimum collateral requirement, the Company estimates it could be required to provide approximately $80,000 to $100,000 of collateral to secure certain of its black lung obligations. The DOL has indicated that it expects that some form of these ~~outcomes~~new regulations could ~~potentially reduce~~go into effect in the fourth quarter of 2023. A significant increase in these collateral obligations would have a materially adverse effect on 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 the 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.

GLOSSARY

Alpha. Alpha Metallurgical Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) (previously named Contura Energy, Inc.).

Ash. Impurities consisting of iron, alumina and other incombustible matter that are contained in coal. Since ash increases the weight of coal, it adds to the cost of handling and can affect the burning characteristics of coal.

Bituminous coal. Coal used primarily to generate electricity and to make coke for the steel industry with a heat value ranging between 10,500 and 15,500 BTU’s per pound.

British Thermal Unit or BTU. A measure of the thermal energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of pure liquid water one degree Fahrenheit at the temperature at which water has its greatest density (39 degrees Fahrenheit).

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.

Indicated coal resource. That part of a coal resource for which quantity and quality are estimated on the basis of adequate geological evidence and sampling sufficient to establish geological and quality continuity with reasonable certainty.

In situ coal resources. Coal resources stated on an in-seam dry basis (excluding surface and inherent moisture) with no consideration for dilution or losses that may occur when coal is mined or extracted.

Measured coal resource. That part of a coal resource for which quantity and quality are estimated on the basis of conclusive geological evidence and sampling sufficient to test and confirm geological and quality continuity.

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 is primarily differentiated based on volatility or its percent of volatile matter. Met coal typically has a particularly high BTU but low ash and sulfur content.

~~Northern Appalachia or NAPP.~~MSHA. ~~Coal producing area in Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania~~The United States Mine Safety and ~~northern West Virginia.~~Health Administration, which has responsibility for developing and enforcing safety and health rules for U.S. mines.

Operating Margin. Coal revenues less cost of coal sales.

Table of Contents

Preparation plant. A preparation plant is a facility for crushing, sizing and washing coal to remove impurities and prepare it for use by a particular customer. The washing process has the added benefit of removing some of the coal’s sulfur content. A preparation plant is usually located on a mine site, although one plant may serve several mines.

Probable mineral reserve. The economically mineable part of an indicated and, in some cases, a measured coal resource.

Productivity. As used in this report, refers to clean metric tons of coal produced per underground man hour worked, as published by the MSHA.

Proven mineral reserve. The economically mineable part of a measured coal resource.

Reclamation. The process of restoring land and the environment to their original state following mining activities. The process commonly includes “recontouring” or reshaping the land to its approximate original appearance, restoring topsoil and planting native grass and ground covers. Reclamation operations are usually underway before the mining of a particular site is completed. Reclamation is closely regulated by both state and federal law.

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.

Underground mine. Also known as a ~~“deep��~~“deep” mine. Usually located several hundred feet below the earth’s surface, an underground mine’s coal is removed mechanically and transferred by shuttle car and conveyor to the surface.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis provides a narrative of our results of operations and financial condition for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021.~~2022. The following discussion and analysis ~~contains forward-looking statements and~~ should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes and risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

The following discussion includes forward-looking statements about our business, financial condition and results of operations, including discussions about management’s expectations for our business. These statements represent projections, beliefs and expectations based on current circumstances and conditions and in light of recent events and trends, and you should not construe these statements either as assurances of performance or as promises of a given course of action. Instead, various known and unknown factors are likely to cause our actual performance and management’s actions to vary, and the results of these variances may be both material and adverse. See “Cautionary ~~Note~~Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” ~~included elsewhere herein.~~and “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Market Overview

~~Across~~Metallurgical coal markets continue to soften as economies across the globe attempt to find stable footing. As the Russian war in Ukraine persists, inflationary impacts remain, and monetary tightening continues in the United States and Europe, economic indicators, like manufacturing production data, indicate that many regions of the world are still contracting instead of expanding. The recovery growth expected following China’s reopening from its zero-COVID policy has instead been muted, and China’s June producer price index continued ~~recessionary pressure~~its multi-month decline, fueling concerns of economic weakness and ~~weakening economic conditions alongside~~possible deflation in the ~~ongoing war between Russia~~world’s second-largest economy and ~~Ukraine and~~a significant consumer of steel.

In the ~~intensifying European energy crisis have influenced~~second quarter, metallurgical coal ~~markets. Coal~~ indices ~~continued retreating during~~remained volatile, continuing the ~~early part~~downward trajectory of recent quarters. Each of the ~~third~~four indices Alpha closely monitors decreased by 20 percent or more over the course of the second quarter, with all but ~~have leveled off in~~ the ~~weeks~~Australian Premium Low Volatile index continuing to decline following the quarter close. Additionally, in October 2022, the imbalances in typical pricing hierarchies for coal qualities have shifted to be more consistent with historical norms, with the API2 thermal index dropping below pricing levels for metallurgical coal qualities.

The Australian Premium Low Volatile index ~~dropped~~decreased from ~~$302.00 per metric ton on July 1, 2022 to $270.50 at the end of the third quarter. The U.S. East Coast Low Volatile index declined from $315.00~~$300.00 per metric ton at the start of the quarter to ~~$270.00~~$233.00 per ton on June 30, 2023. The U.S. East Coast Low Volatile index decreased from $284.00 per metric ton ~~on September 30, 2022.~~at the beginning of April to $227.00 per metric ton at the end of the quarter. The U.S. East Coast High Volatile A index ~~started the quarter at $325.00 per metric ton and~~ dropped ~~to $287.00~~from $284.00 per metric ton at the start of the second quarter ~~close.~~to $216.00 per metric ton at the end of June. During the second quarter, the U.S. East Coast High Volatile B ~~fell~~index decreased from ~~$317.50~~$265.00 per metric ton on April 1, 2023 to ~~$284.00 over~~$206.00 per metric ton on June 30, 2023. Over the course of ~~the third quarter. The pricing movements~~July, these three U.S. East Coast indices have ~~largely leveled off in recent weeks for the two High Volatile indices, which are hovering at or near~~further softened slightly from their quarter-close levels, with the Low Volatile, High Volatile A and High Volatile B indices measuring $220.00, $210.00, and $197.00 per ton, respectively, as of ~~the end of October.~~July 25, 2023. The ~~two Low Volatile indices have increased from their quarter-end levels to $311.50 per metric ton for~~ Australian Premium Low Volatile ~~and $293~~had increased from its quarter-close level to $237.00 per metric ton ~~for U.S. East Coast Low Volatile as of October 31, 2022.~~on the same date.

~~The negative economic impacts of the Russian war and intensifying recessionary fears are evident in the most recent global economic indicators showing a continued softening of the global economy.~~ The world Purchasing Managers’ Index (“PMI”) ~~contracted to 49.8 in September, down from 50.3 in August, falling below the neutral 50.0 level for the first time since June 2020. Europe’s PMI decreased~~declined from 49.6 in ~~August~~May to a six-month low of 48.8 in June 2023. PMI for Europe dropped to 43.4 in June from 44.8 in May, marking its twelfth consecutive month in contractionary territory. The United States PMI fell to 46.3 in June from a May level of 48.4 and suppressed demand in ~~September due~~Brazil brought down its PMI to ~~high uncertainty, accelerating inflationary pressures,~~46.6 in June from 47.1 in May.

Similarly, China’s~~month-over-month declines continued, with June’s PMI ~~dropped~~at 50.5, down from ~~49.5~~50.9 in August to 48.1 in September due to falling demand and production levels as a result of the country’s extensive COVID-19 containment efforts. Conversely, indicators show that certain areas of the world—such asMay. India, a key market for ~~Alpha—are experiencing growth. India’s September~~Alpha, marked two years of consecutive above-50.0-level PMI with their June PMI of ~~55.1 is down from 56.2 in August but still represents solid growth. Brazil posted a September PMI of 51.1,~~57.8, which was down slightly from ~~51.9~~May’s 58.7. India’s continued expansion represents a consistently bright spot of manufacturing growth that stands in ~~August. The United States PMI index increased~~contrast to ~~52.0 in September 2022~~contractionary levels from ~~51.5 in August.~~many other countries around the globe.

In addition to the uneven growth trajectories across the globe, currency valuations have also played a role in the shifting international trade landscape. The U.S. dollar has shown increasing strength against other world currencies, which can influence the relative pricing of Alpha’s products for customers in certain markets. 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. Refer to “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Foreign Currency Risk” for additional information.

~~In its periodic review of macroeconomic factors affecting the steel industry,~~As compiled by the World Steel Association (“WSA”) ~~issued revisions in October to its Short Range Outlook for 2022 and 2023. The WSA forecasts a contraction in steel demand of 2.3% in 2022. The WSA now projects a recovery of 1.0% for steel demand in~~, June 2023 which represents a downward revision from its prior estimates. The WSA attributed the altered outlook to deteriorating economic conditions over the course of 2022, including persisting inflation and rising interest rates globally, alongside Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s economic deceleration. The WSA cited infrastructure demand as the expected catalyst for slight increases in 2023 steel demand, contingent on the impact of tightening monetary policies, falling consumer confidence, and potential further inflation risk.

~~The most recent~~ global crude steel production ~~data showed production~~ of ~~151.7~~158.8 million metric tons represented a slight 0.1% decrease from June 2022. While the overall market was down, the two largest steel producing countries, China and India, both had increases in ~~September 2022,~~their production levels. China produced 91.1 million metric tons, 0.4% more than its year-ago June production amount, and India produced 11.2 million metric tons, an increase of ~~3.7% over the year-ago period. This increase is largely attributable to production in~~12.9%. The Asia and Oceania region, which ~~represented~~contains both India and China, saw an increase of 0.8% with production of 119.7 million metric tons. Three other regions had increases over the prior year for the month of June: Africa (11.5%), Middle East (9.4%), and Russia (5.2%). These increases were offset by decreases across the other four regions. The European Union and South America both had double-digit decreases, 11.1% and 12.4%, respectively. The other two regions, which had single-digit percentage declines, were North America with a ~~10.6%~~0.5% decline and Europe - Other with a 1.8% decline. The United States had an increase ~~over that region’s September 2021 period. China produced 87.0~~of 0.5% to 6.8 million metric tons in September 2022, an increase of 17.6% from September 2021. India’s production of 9.9 million metric tons was a slight 1.8% increase over the year-ago period. Several other regions posted significant declines for the comparison timeframe. The European Union’s September 2022 crude steel production of 10.7 million metric tons was a 16.7% drop asproduced compared to its September 2021 level. Steel production of 3.5 million metric tons in South America was a decrease of 9.6% against September 2021, while North American production of 9.1 million metric tons for September 2022 represented a 7.6% drop as compared to the year-ago period.June 2022.

~~COVID-19 Pandemic~~

The COVID-19 pandemic has had negative impacts on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Our Company experienced an increase in employee absences due to COVID-19. Indirectly, through some of our third-party vendors, we and our 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 our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration of the virus, its impact on our 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 our Company and are the foundation for how we manage every aspect of our business. We continue to monitor developments closely and adjust as necessary, including with respect to our implemented policies, procedures, and prevention measures to protect the safety and health of our employees.2023.

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 ~~reliably supply~~are a leading supplier of metallurgical coal products to the steel industry. We operate high-quality, cost-competitive coal mines across the CAPP coal basin. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, our operations consisted of ~~twenty-three~~twenty-two active mines and eight coal preparation and load-out facilities, with approximately ~~3,620~~3,980 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, ~~2021,~~2022, we had ~~351.1~~336.7 million tons of reserves, ~~including 335.8~~which included 322.7 million tons of proven and probable metallurgical reserves and ~~15.3~~14.0 million tons of proven and probable thermal reserves. Additionally, we had approximately ~~381.7~~527.3 million tons of in situ bituminous coal resources.

For the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, sales of met coal were ~~3.5~~3.9 million tons and ~~3.9~~3.8 million tons, respectively, and accounted for approximately ~~85%~~90% and ~~82%~~87%, respectively, of our coal sales volume. Sales of thermal coal were ~~0.6~~0.4 million tons and ~~0.8~~0.5 million tons, respectively, and accounted for approximately ~~15%~~10% and ~~18%~~13%, respectively, of our coal sales volume. For the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, sales of met coal were ~~10.8~~7.4 million tons and ~~10.6~~7.3 million tons, respectively, and accounted for approximately ~~87%~~90% and ~~83%~~88%, respectively, of our coal sales volume. Sales of thermal coal were ~~1.6~~0.8 million tons and ~~2.2~~1.0 million tons, respectively, and accounted for approximately ~~13%~~10% and ~~17%~~12%, 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, and the Americas. Our sales of thermal coal were made primarily to large utilities and industrial customers ~~throughout~~both in the United ~~States.~~States and across the world. For the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2023 and 2022 approximately 72% and ~~2021 approximately 74% and 80%~~86%, respectively, of our coal revenues were derived from coal sales made to customers outside the United States. For the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2023 and 2022 approximately 74% and ~~2021 approximately 82% and 71%~~85%, 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 ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, we have one reportable segment: Met. 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

~~Table of Contents~~

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. Refer to Note 2 for further information on discontinued operations.

As discussed in the “Market Overview” presented above, ~~continued recessionary pressure~~monetary tightening in the United States and ~~weakening~~Europe, a muted recovery in China, weak economic conditions ~~alongside~~across the globe, and the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine ~~and the intensifying European energy crisis~~ have influenced metallurgical coal ~~markets.~~markets so far in 2023. As a result, our ~~three~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 results of operations were impacted by the coal indices’ drop from their early-2022 historic highs. However, as further discussed in the “Results of Operations” presented below, our three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 results of operations still remain strong from a historical average perspective compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to higher coal sales realization as a result of an improved pricing environment during the current period. Increasing coal demand, resulting from improved economic activity, coupled with a limited supply response contributed to a risecontinued volatility in coal ~~prices in the current periods compared to the prior year periods.~~indices.

Other Business Developments

In January 2023, our subsidiary Maxxim Rebuild Co., LLC (“Maxxim”) completed a series of transactions to acquire a number of coal trucks and related equipment and facilities to secure trucking services for our operations.

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 ~~October 28, 2022,~~July 27, 2023, we had sales commitments for ~~2022~~2023 as follows:


		Tons	% Priced		Average Realized Price per Ton		Tons	% Priced		Average Realized Price per Ton

All Other	All Other	0.7 million	100	%	$77.69	All Other	0.5 million	100	%	$90.47

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~~costs of purchased coal, royalties, wages and benefits, freight and handling costs and taxes incurred in selling our coal. ~~Principal~~The 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 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 ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021~~2022 are discussed in these “Results of Operations” presented below. Certain immaterial amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 have been recast to reclassify discontinued operations and present the related amounts within continuing operations as part of the All Other category.

Cost of coal sales. Cost of coal sales ~~increased $67.3~~decreased $43.9 million, or ~~13.8%~~7.0%, for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by lower per ton freight and handling, royalty, and severance tax costs as a result of the lower coal pricing environment which more than offset the impact of higher labor and supply costs due to inflationary pressure.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased $4.5 million, or 16.2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily ~~driven by increased supplies and maintenance expense, salaries and wages expense, rail freight costs, and royalties and taxes.~~

~~Depreciation, depletion and amortization.~~ Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased $3.4 million, or 13.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. The increase in depreciation, depletion and amortization was primarily a result of annual changes in depletion rates due to ~~the Company’s updated estimated coal reserves.~~capital expenditures.

Amortization of acquired intangibles, net. Amortization of acquired intangibles, net ~~increased $1.6~~decreased $3.6 million, or ~~52.4%~~61.9%, for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 compared to the prior year period. The ~~increase~~decrease was primarily driven by accelerated ~~current~~prior period amortization of certain acquired mine permits as a result of an update to the estimated life of the associated mines.

Mark-to-market adjustment for acquisition-related obligations. The mark-to-market adjustment for acquisition-related obligations ~~resulted in an increase to income of $14.6~~was $4.2 million for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2022. As the royalty period ended on December 31, 2022, ~~compared~~there was no mark-to-market adjustment recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

prior year period. This increase was related to the ($3.0) million Contingent Revenue Obligation mark-to-market adjustment recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2022 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 expense (income).~~ Other income decreased $3.2 million, or 693.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in income on sale of assets in the current period.

Income taxes. Income tax expense of ~~$5.4~~$33.6 million was recorded for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2023 on income before income taxes of $215.0 million. The effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the permanent impact of percentage depletion and foreign-derived intangible income deductions.

Income tax expense of $68.6 million was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2022 on income ~~from continuing operations~~ before income taxes of ~~$257.3~~$642.8 million. The effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the decrease in the valuation allowance and the permanent impact of percentage depletion and foreign-derived intangible income deductions.

Income tax expense of $0.2 million was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2021 on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $83.9 million. The effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the decrease in the valuation allowance. Refer to Note 1312 for additional information.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The discussion below contains “non-GAAP financial measures.” These are financial measures ~~which~~that 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,” and “non-GAAP coal ~~margin,” and “Adjusted cost of produced coal sold.~~margin.” 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

~~Table of Contents~~

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~~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 ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021:~~2022:

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 decrease was primarily driven by lower per ton freight and handling, royalty, and severance tax costs as a result of the lower coal pricing environment partially offset by the impact of higher labor and supply costs due to inflationary pressure.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased $5.9 million, or 10.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily ~~driven by increased rail freight costs, royalties and taxes, salaries and wages expense, and supplies and maintenance expense, partially offset by inventory change during the current period.~~due to capital expenditures.

~~Amortization of acquired intangibles, net.~~ ~~Amortization of acquired intangibles, net increased $6.6 million, or 70.6%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. The increase~~decrease was primarily driven by accelerated ~~current~~prior period amortization of certain acquired mine permits as a result of an update to the estimated life of the associated mines.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $5.0 million, or 14.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily related to increases of $3.6 million in stock compensation expense, $1.5 million in wages and benefits expense, and $0.2 million in professional fees, partially offset by a decrease of $0.8 million in incentive pay.

Mark-to-market adjustment for acquisition-related obligations. The mark-to-market adjustment for acquisition-related obligations was $13.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. As the royalty period ended on December 31, 2022, there was no mark-to-market adjustment recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

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 income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021:~~

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 will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements, anticipated capital expenditures, income taxes, debt service requirements, acquisition-related obligations, and

Table of Contents

reclamation obligations for the next 12 months and the reasonably foreseeable future. ~~The Company~~We may also use cash in accordance with ~~its~~our share repurchase program and dividend program. 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. For example, if the new authorization process for all self-insured coal mine operators is adopted, it would substantially increase the collateral required to secure our self-insured federal black lung obligations. Refer to the DCMWC Reauthorization Process section below for more information. 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

~~Table of Contents~~

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.

Cash Collateral

We are required to provide cash collateral to secure our obligations under certain ~~worker’s~~workers’ compensation, black lung, reclamation-related obligations, financial payments and other performance obligations, and other operating agreements. ~~Additionally, we have short-term restricted cash held in escrow related to our Contingent Revenue Obligation (refer to Note 10).~~ 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). As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, 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 ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, we had the following outstanding surety bonds and letters of credit:

Debt Financing and Related Transactions

As of September 30, 2022, we had $4.7 million of indebtedness outstanding before debt discount and issuance costs. Our indebtedness is comprised of financing leases and other financing obligations. Our Credit Agreement entered into on June 14, 2019 provided for a senior secured term loan facility with a maturity date of June 14, 2024 (the “Term Loan Credit Facility”). As of September 30, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Facility as a result of voluntary prepayments of $449.4 million of outstanding principal borrowings during the first and second quarters of 2022 in our continued strategic effort to reduce our outstanding debt and strengthen our balance sheet. Effective with the final voluntary prepayment on June 3, 2022, the Credit Agreement was terminated, and we were released of all underlying obligations including the Credit Agreement covenants.

The ABL Agreement includes a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”). Under the ABL Facility, ~~the Company~~we 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~~the facility 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 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.

During the second quarter of 2022, in connection with our improved financial position, we received a reduction of $40.1 million in collateral requirements under the ABL Facility related to our self-insured workers compensation at certain locations in West Virginia. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2022 and as part of routine surety program review and negotiation, we received a $16.5 million reduction in surety collateral requirements under the ABL Facility, while securing multi-year visibility on surety program terms and conditions. These collateral releases increased our availability under the ABL Facility and thus our financial liquidity.

Refer to Note 98 for additional disclosures on long-term debt.

Acquisition-Related Obligations

During the first quarter of 2023, we paid the final calculated payment pursuant to terms of the Contingent Revenue Obligation. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, we had ~~$30.1~~$0.3 million of acquisition-related obligations outstanding. ~~Our acquisition-related obligations are primarily comprised of the Contingent Revenue Obligation which has an offsetting short-term restricted cash amount held in escrow (refer~~Refer to Note ~~10 and Note 16). During the second quarter of 2022, we paid $16.2 million pursuant to the terms of the Contingent Revenue Obligation.~~9 for additional disclosures on acquisition-related obligations.

Capital Requirements

Our capital expenditures for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 were ~~$103.4~~$129.1 million. We expect to spend between ~~$160.0~~$250.0 million and ~~$190.0~~$280.0 million on capital expenditures during ~~2022.~~2023.

~~Our contractual obligations relating~~2022. There have been no material changes to the Term Loan Credit Facility were eliminated during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to the final voluntary prepayments we made during the period terminating our Credit Agreement. Our contractual obligations relating to the Contingent Revenue Obligation decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily as a result of payments made during the period, partially offset by an increase in forecasted future revenue. Our contractual obligations relating to coal purchase commitments increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily as a result of new agreements during the period. Additionally, our contractual obligations ~~relating to unconditional purchase obligations decreased~~ during the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022 primarily as a result of expected fulfillment of commitments during the current period, partially offset by new agreements.

Business Updates

On June 3, 2022, in a significant step in further strengthening our balance sheet, we voluntarily prepaid in full the remaining outstanding principal borrowings of the Term Loan Credit Facility two years ahead of maturity.

On July 28, 2022, S&P Global Ratings upgraded its issuer credit rating on the Company to B from B- following our full repayment of the Term Loan Credit Facility and amid improving credit metrics. The rating outlook was noted as stable. On July 21, 2022,18, 2023, Moody’s Investors Service upgraded our Corporate Family Rating to B2B1 from ~~B3,~~B2, upgraded our Probability of Default Rating to B1-PD from B2-PD, ~~from B3-PD, assigned a~~and affirmed our B1 rating ~~to our~~on the ABL ~~Facility, and withdrew the B3 rating on our Term Loan Credit Facility following our full repayment.~~Facility. Our Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating remained unchanged at SGL-2. The rating outlook was revised to ~~positive~~stable from stable. On March 30, 2022, S&P Global Ratings upgraded its issuer-level rating on our senior secured debt to B from B- amid favorable market indicators and credit metrics. The rating outlook was revised to positive from stable.positive. Should we receive any negative outlook ratings in the future, such negative outlook ratings would result in potential liquidity risks for us, including the risks of declines in our stock value, declines in our cash and cash equivalents, less availability and higher costs of additional credit, and requests for additional collateral by surety providers.

~~Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—COVID-19 Pandemic” for information on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.~~

We continually strive to enhance our capital structure and financial flexibility and reduce cash outflows from operations. As opportunities arise, we will continue to consider the possibility of the refinancing, repayment or repurchase of any outstanding debt and amendment of our credit facility, and may consider the sale of other assets or businesses, and such other measures as we believe circumstances warrant. We may decide to pursue or not pursue these opportunities at any time. Access to additional funds from liquidity-generating transactions or other sources of external financing is subject to market conditions and certain limitations, including our credit rating and covenant restrictions in our credit facilities.

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

Table of Contents

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.

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 DCMWC, we filed an application and supporting documentation for reauthorization to self-insure certain of our black lung obligations in October 2019. As a result of this application, the DCMWC notified us in a letter dated February 21, 2020 that we were reauthorized to self-insure certain of our black lung obligations for a period of one-year from February 21, 2020. The DCMWC reauthorization is contingent, however, upon us providing collateral of $65.7 million to secure certain of our black lung obligations. This collateral requirement, which the DCMWC advises represents 70% of our estimated future liability according to the DCMWC’s estimation methodology, is an increase of approximately 2,400% from the approximately $2.6 million in collateral which we (previously by Alpha Natural Resources Inc. prior to the Merger) have provided since 2016 to secure these self-insured black lung obligations. Future liability has not previously been estimated by the DCMWC in connection with the reauthorization process but is now being considered as part of its new collateral-setting methodology.

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. 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~~third-party provider, which would likely also require us to provide additional collateral. ~~Either~~In January 2023, the DOL proposed for public comment new regulations which, if adopted, would substantially increase the collateral required to secure self-insured federal black lung obligations. Under the proposed 120% minimum collateral requirement, we estimate we could be required to provide approximately $80.0 million to $100.0 million of collateral to secure certain of our black lung obligations. The DOL has indicated that it expects that some form of these ~~outcomes~~new regulations could go into effect in the fourth quarter of 2023. A significant increase in these collateral obligations would ~~significantly reduce~~have a materially adverse effect on our liquidity.

Operating Activities. The ~~increase~~decrease in net cash provided by operating activities for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 compared to the prior year period was primarily attributable to ~~the improvement in our results from operations~~lower coal sale realizations as discussed above in “Results of Operations,” partially offset by ~~changes~~a corresponding reduction in operating assets and liabilities, primarily attributable to an increase in our working capital.

Analysis of Material Debt Covenants

We are in compliance with all covenants under the ABL Agreement as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022.~~2023. A breach of the covenants in the 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.

Pursuant to the ABL Agreement, during any Liquidity Period (capitalized terms as defined in the 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 ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, we were not in a Liquidity Period.

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 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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

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.~~2023.

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~~As of June 30, 2023, our ~~2021~~forecasted diesel fuel ~~consumption (approximately 23.0 million gallons), a 10% increase in the average annual~~usage and fixed price ~~per gallon of diesel fuel would have increased our annual diesel fuel expense by approximately $5.4 million. As of September 30, 2022, we had~~ diesel fuel purchase commitments for ~~2022~~2023 are as follows:

Budgeted Usage in Gallons (1)
% Priced Average Realized Price per Gallon
Diesel fuel 24.3 million 85.2 % $3.07

Interest Rate Risk

As of ~~September~~June 30, 2023, we maintain a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility under which we may borrow up to $155.0 million (less amounts outstanding for letters of credit). Any cash borrowings under the facility would bear a floating rate of interest. No cash borrowings were outstanding under the facility as of June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we ~~do not have any~~had $61.9 million letters of credit outstanding ~~variable rate borrowings with market risk exposure with respect to interest rates.~~under the facility. Refer to Note 98 for additional information. Also refer to ~~the“Financial~~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~~2022 for discussion on the terms of our long-term debt.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had investments in trading securities of $76.0 million and $151.8 million respectively. While the fair value of these investments is exposed to risk with respect to changes in market rates of interest, we do not believe exposure to changes in interest rates is material to our consolidated financial statements. We manage risk by investing in shorter term highly rated debt obligations (primarily U.S. government securities). As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the remaining maturities of our acquired debt securities was less than 12 months.

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

Table of Contents

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 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

~~Table of Contents~~

disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022.~~2023. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and our CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022.~~2023.

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 isare 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 “Risk Factors” section contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, together with the cautionary statement under the caption “Cautionary Note Regarding 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.

~~Dividends on our common stock are only payable if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and permitted by Delaware law.~~

Dividends on our common stock will be paid only if declared by the Board. 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 share 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 share repurchase program in part or as a whole.

Decreased availability or increased costs of key equipment and materials, including certain items mandated by regulations, increased commodities costs, sustained inflation or increased costs of coal that we purchase from third parties, could increase our cost of production and decrease our profitability.

We depend on reliable supplies of mining equipment, replacement parts and materials such as explosives, diesel fuel, tires, steel, magnetite and other raw materials and consumables which, in some cases, do not have ready substitutes. Some equipment and materials are needed to comply with regulations, such as proximity detection devices on continuous mining machines and

~~Table of Contents~~

steel. The supplier base providing mining materials and equipment has been relatively consistent in recent years, although there continues to be consolidation, which has resulted in a limited number of suppliers for certain types of equipment and supplies.

Any significant reduction in availability or increase in cost of any mining equipment or key supplies could adversely affect our operations and increase our costs, which could adversely affect our operating results and cash flows. Diesel fuel supply, in particular, is unusually limited at present due to the current global economy, and a sustained or worsened shortage of diesel fuel could negatively and materially impact our results of operations.

In addition, the prices we pay for materials are strongly influenced by the global commodities markets. Coal mines consume large quantities of these commodities, such as steel, copper, rubber products, explosives and diesel and other liquid fuels. A rapid or significant increase in the cost of these commodities would increase our mining costs. Diesel fuel, for example, is one of our largest variable costs, and any increase in the price we pay for diesel fuel has a negative impact on our results of operations. Further, if the value of the U.S. dollar declines relative to foreign currencies with respect to certain imported supplies or other products, our operating expenses will increase, which could materially adversely impact our profitability.

The U.S. and global economies have recently experienced high levels of inflation. If inflation were to remain at high levels for an extended period, or increase further, a related increase in our input costs could materially adversely affect our profitability.

We purchase coal from third parties, for use in coal blending and for other purposes, for which ready substitutes may not be immediately available. A significant reduction in availability or increase in cost of these supplies, or the failure of third party coal producers to provide them in a timely fashion, could adversely affect our operations and increase our costs, which could adversely affect our operating results and cash flows.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Dividend Policy

OnPursuant to the dividend policy adopted by the Board on May 3, 2022, the ~~Company’s~~ Board ~~adopted a dividend policy. Pursuant to this policy, the Board initially intended to pay aggregate~~declared quarterly cash dividends of ~~$1.50~~$0.44 and $0.50 per share ofon the Company’s common stock ~~per year, with $0.375 per share paid each quarter. On August 4, 2022~~during the ~~Company’s Board increased the quarterly dividend amount to $0.392 per share.~~three months ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively. Refer to Note 1817 for subsequent event disclosures related to the Company’s dividend program. The holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to receive such dividends, if any, when they are declared by the ~~Company’s~~ Board. Future dividends are subject to declaration by the ~~Company’s~~ Board and depend on Alpha’s future earnings and financial condition and other relevant factors. Refer to Note 76 for further information related to the Company’s dividend program.
