• | The fourth quarter metallurgical coal price benchmark for high-quality low-vol hard coking coal settled at $119 per tonne ($108 per short ton) with benchmark low-vol PCI at $99 per tonne ($90 per short ton), essentially flat with third quarter settlements; |
• | China's coal imports have declined in recent months, reflecting coal import policy uncertainty, stable domestic supply, flat pig iron production and modest coal generation growth of 1 percent through August. While China’s recent coal import tariffs may dampen near-term imports, long-term drivers of coal demand remain intact; |
• | India’s coal generation rose 13 percent through the first nine months, and demand for thermal coal imports accelerated by more than 55 percent in September to a new monthly record as India’s coal stockpiles reached a 25-year low and more than half of India’s power plants reported critically low coal inventories. Metallurgical coal imports rose 23 percent through September as India continues to access the high-quality seaborne market. Coal quality concerns, domestic production shortages and strong demand support further coal import growth; and |
• | Global seaborne coal markets remain challenged, yet supply growth is set to moderate as production cuts are implemented. China has announced nearly 115 million tons of thermal production cutbacks. Metallurgical coal producers have announced approximately 30 million tons of reductions this year, with more than 20 million tons yet to be realized in coming quarters. U.S. coal exports have declined 16 percent through August. |
• | Coal generation increased 3 percent through September, while natural gas generation declined 2 percent. Coal accounts for 41 percent of electricity generation in the U.S., |
• | Southern Powder River Basin stockpiles are at their lowest level since 2005 despite summer temperatures that were 8 percent below normal in coal heavy regions. Stockpiles are expected to end the year at less than 40 days of supply, a decline of more than 30 percent from the beginning of 2014, on increased demand and rail performance issues; |
• | Rail performance has led to greater coal conservation measures at certain utilities, but shipments are expected to improve through 2015 and into 2016 on record capital spending by rail carriers. Absent anticipated rail constraint, it is estimated that Southern Powder River Basin shipments would need to increase by approximately 50 to 60 million tons in order to rebuild stockpiles to normal levels and meet rising utility demand; and |
• | Peabody finalized a 6-year, 40 million ton coal supply agreement in the third quarter, and anticipates 2015 Powder River Basin revenues per ton to be higher than 2014 realizations due to strong contracting strategies built on layering in sales over time. Traded markets have been impacted by extremely low liquidity and reflect lower pricing than we have observed in the physical market. |
• | Improving yields, increasing automation and optimizing production of the longwall top coal caving system at the North Goonyella Mine, where production has increased more than 55 percent over the second quarter; |
• | Leveraging the benefits of the Moorvale Mine owner-operator transition completed in the third quarter. Over 95 percent of Australian production is now under the owner-operator model, which continues to provide additional cost savings at converted mines; and |
• | Advancing the Gateway North extension in Illinois to replace the depleting reserves. Slope development is ahead of schedule, and the project is maximizing use of existing equipment and infrastructure to limit capital requirements. Ramp up is expected to begin in the first half of 2015. |
• | Total sales of 245 to 255 million tons, including U.S. sales of 185 to 190 million tons and Australian sales of 36 to 38 million tons; |
• | U.S. costs per ton 1 to 3 percent below 2013 levels on cost containment efforts. U.S. revenues per ton improved to 2 to 4 percent below 2013 levels on higher realized price per ton; and |
• | Australian costs of approximately $70 per ton. |
