Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Peabody Energy Corporation (PEC) and its consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates (along with PEC, the Company or Peabody). Interests in subsidiaries controlled by the Company are consolidated with any outside stockholder interests reflected as noncontrolling interests, except when the Company has an undivided interest in a joint venture. In those cases, the Company includes its proportionate share in the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the jointly controlled entities within each applicable line item of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. All intercompany transactions, profits and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 . In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. Balance sheet information presented herein as of December 31, 2018 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheet at that date. The Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2019 . The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 852, “Reorganizations”, requires that financial statements distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with a reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain revenues, expenses, realized gains and losses and provisions for losses that were realized or incurred during the bankruptcy proceedings from which the Company emerged on April 3, 2017 were recorded in “Reorganization items, net” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. “Reorganization items, net” for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 consisted of settlement gains of $12.8 million related to certain unsecured claims.

Newly Adopted Accounting Standa

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block]	Newly Adopted Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented Newly Adopted Accounting Standards Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Most prominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. The FASB continued to clarify this guidance through the issuance of additional updates to ASU 2016-02. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02 using the modified transition approach and elected the package of practical expedients offered under ASU 2016-02, as updated, that allows it to forgo reassessment of lease classification for leases that have already commenced. The Company also elected the practical expedients to adopt ASU 2016-02 without restating comparative prior period financial information, to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases with shorter than 12 months terms and to include both lease and non-lease components within lease payments. The Company has implemented the systems functionality and internal control processes necessary to comply with the new reporting requirements of ASU 2016-02. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2016-02 as an adjustment on January 1, 2019 and comparative information presented herein has not been restated. ASU 2016-02 had a material impact on the Company's consolidated balance sheet but did not have a material impact on its results of operations or its cash flows. The most significant impact was the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases upon adoption, as set forth in the table below. The Company's accounting for finance leases remained unchanged. Adoption of ASU 2016-02 January 1, 2019 (Dollars in millions) ASSETS Operating lease right-of-use assets $ 109.3 Total assets $ 109.3 LIABILITIES Accounts payable and accrued expenses $ 41.8 Total current liabilities 41.8 Operating lease liabilities, less current portion 67.5 Total liabilities $ 109.3 ASU 2016-02 also requires entities to disclose certain qualitative and quantitative information regarding the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Such disclosures are included in Note 11. “Leases.” Leases to explore for or use minerals, oil, natural gas and similar non-regenerative resources, including the intangible rights to explore for those natural resources and rights to use the land in which those natural resources are contained are excluded from the scope of ASU 2016-02. As such, the adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not impact the accounting for the coal reserve leases under which the Company mines a substantial amount of its coal production. Such leases typically require royalties to be paid as the coal is mined and sometimes require minimum annual royalties to be paid regardless of the amount of coal mined during the year. Leases - Land Easements. In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01 to provide an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate under Topic 842 existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under prior leasing guidance. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the expedient to evaluate new or modified land easements under Topic 842, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows or financial statement presentation. Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. The new standard replaces the incurred loss methodology to record credit losses with a methodology that reflects the expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. We will be required to use a forward-looking expected loss model for accounts receivables, loans, and other financial instruments to record an allowance for the estimated contractual cash flows not expected to be collected. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 (January 1, 2020 for the Company) and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the standard will be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date to align our credit loss methodology with the new standard. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements, including accounting policies, processes, and systems. The Company expects to adopt the standard as of January 1, 2020 with no material impact to the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows or financial statement presentation. Fair Value Measurement. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, which amended the fair value measurement guidance by removing and modifying certain disclosure requirements, while also adding new disclosure requirements. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The amendments are effective for all companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for all amendments. Further, a company may elect to early adopt the removal or modification of disclosures immediately and delay adoption of the new disclosure requirements until the effective date. The Company plans to adopt all disclosure requirements effective January 1, 2020. Compensation- Retirement Benefits. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14 to add, remove and clarify disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. ASU 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 for public companies and early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt the disclosure requirements effective January 1, 2021.

Acquisition of Shoal Creek Mine

Acquisition of Shoal Creek Mine [Abstract]
Acquisition of Shoal Creek Mine [Text Block]	Acquisition of Shoal Creek Mine On December 3, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of the Shoal Creek metallurgical coal mine, preparation plant and supporting assets located in Alabama (Shoal Creek Mine) for a purchase price of $387.4 million . In January 2019, the Company agreed to pay an additional $2.4 million to settle a working capital adjustment, bringing the total purchase price to $389.8 million . The purchase price was funded with available cash on hand and reflected customary purchase price adjustments. The acquisition expands the Company’s seaborne metallurgical mining platform. The acquisition excluded all liabilities other than reclamation and the Company is not responsible for other liabilities arising out of or relating to the operation of the Shoal Creek Mine prior to the acquisition date, including with respect to employee benefit plans and post-employment benefits. In connection with completing the acquisition, a new collective bargaining agreement was reached with the union-represented workforce that eliminates participation in the multi-employer pension plan and replaces it with a 401(k) retirement plan. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded a contract based intangible liability of $3.5 million to reflect the fair value of a coal supply agreement. The liability was amortized to income in January 2019 and the related contract was renegotiated on market terms. The preliminary purchase accounting allocations were recorded in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of, and for the period subsequent to the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed that were recognized at the acquisition and control date as well as fair value adjustments made through September 30, 2019: Preliminary Allocations Adjustments Final Allocations (Dollars in millions) Inventories $ 39.7 $ 0.2 $ 39.9 Property, plant, equipment and mine development 364.7 0.6 365.3 Current liabilities (4.1 ) — (4.1 ) Asset retirement obligations (10.5 ) (0.8 ) (11.3 ) Total purchase price $ 389.8 $ — $ 389.8 Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed required judgment and the utilization of independent valuation experts, and included the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates and asset lives, among other items. Due to the unobservable inputs to the valuation, the fair value would be considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The adjustments to the provisional fair values result from additional information obtained about facts in existence at the acquisition and control date. Adjustments to provisional fair values are assumed to have been made as of the acquisition and control date. As a result, "Depreciation, depletion and amortization" would have been lower by $0.4 million , $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, first quarter of 2019 and second quarter of 2019, respectively, than was previously reported. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations reflect these adjustments in the three months ended September 30, 2019. The Company has finalized the valuation of the net assets acquired and related purchase price allocation. The results of Shoal Creek Mine for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and are reported in the Seaborne Metallurgical Mining segment. The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the estimated combined results of operations of the Company and Shoal Creek Mine, on a pro forma basis, as though the operations of the Shoal Creek Mine had been combined with the Company’s operations as of January 1, 2018. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have occurred had the operations of the Company and Shoal Creek Mine been combined during those periods or that may be attained in the future. Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 (Dollars in millions, except per share data) Revenues $ 1,560.2 $ 4,517.9 Income from continuing operations, net of income taxes 139.3 549.0 Basic earnings per share from continuing operations $ 0.64 $ 2.43 Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations $ 0.63 $ 2.40 The pro forma income from continuing operations, net of income taxes includes adjustments to operating costs to reflect the additional expense for the estimated impact of the fair value adjustment for coal inventory, a reduction in postretirement benefit costs resulting from the new collective bargaining agreement described above, and the estimated impact on depreciation, depletion and amortization for the fair value adjustment for property, plant and equipment (including coal reserve assets). On a pro forma basis, the acquisition would have had no impact on taxable income due to the Company’s federal net operating losses.

(2) Other includes revenues from arrangements such as customer contract-related payments, royalties related to coal lease agreements, sales agency commissions, farm income and property and facility rentals, for which contract duration is not meaningful. Committed Revenue from Contracts with Customers The Company expects to recognize revenue subsequent to September 30, 2019 of approximately $4.8 billion related to contracts with customers in which volumes and prices per ton were fixed or reasonably estimable at September 30, 2019 . Approximately 46% of such amount is expected to be recognized over the next twelve months and the remainder thereafter. Actual revenue related to such contracts may differ materially for various reasons, including price adjustment features for coal quality and cost escalations, volume optionality provisions and potential force majeure events. This estimate of future revenue does not include any revenue related to contracts with variable prices per ton that cannot be reasonably estimated, such as the majority of seaborne metallurgical and seaborne thermal coal contracts where pricing is negotiated or settled quarterly or annually. Accounts Receivable “Accounts receivable, net” at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consisted of the following: September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 (Dollars in millions) Trade receivables, net $ 257.1 $ 345.5 Miscellaneous receivables, net 36.3 104.9 Accounts receivable, net $ 293.4 $ 450.4 Trade receivables, net presented above have been shown net of reserves of $0.1 million as of December 31, 2018 . Trade receivables, net included no reserves as of September 30, 2019 . Miscellaneous receivables, net presented above have been shown net of reserves of $4.3 million as of both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . Included in “Operating costs and expenses” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations were credits for doubtful trade receivables of $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. No charges for doubtful trade receivables were recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2019 . The Company also records long-term customer receivables related to the reimbursement of certain post-mining costs which are included within “Investments and other assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The balance of such receivables was $12.1 million and $11.1 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. In connection with the adoption of ASC 606, the Company records a portion of the consideration received as “Interest income” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, due to the embedded financing element within the related contract. Interest income related to these arrangements amounted to $2.7 million and $2.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, and $8.0 million and $6.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Discontinued Operations	Discontinued Operations Discontinued operations include certain former Seaborne Thermal Mining and Midwestern U.S. Mining segment assets that have ceased production and other previously divested legacy operations, including Patriot Coal Corporation and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (Patriot). Summarized Results of Discontinued Operations Results from discontinued operations were as follows during the periods presented below: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 (Dollars in millions) Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes $ (3.8 ) $ (4.1 ) $ (10.6 ) $ (9.0 ) Assets and Liabilities of Discontinued Operations Assets and liabilities classified as discontinued operations included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets were as follows: September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 (Dollars in millions) Assets: Other current assets $ 0.2 $ — Total assets classified as discontinued operations $ 0.2 $ — Liabilities: Accounts payable and accrued expenses $ 53.7 $ 54.0 Other noncurrent liabilities 127.0 141.1 Total liabilities classified as discontinued operations $ 180.7 $ 195.1 Patriot-Related Matters A significant portion of the liabilities in the table above relate to Patriot. In 2012, Patriot filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the U.S. Code (the Bankruptcy Code). In 2013, the Company entered into a definitive settlement agreement (2013 Agreement) with Patriot and the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA), on behalf of itself, its represented Patriot employees and its represented Patriot retirees, to resolve all then-disputed issues related to Patriot’s bankruptcy. In May 2015, Patriot again filed voluntary petitions for relief under the Bankruptcy Code in the Eastern District of Virginia and subsequently initiated a process to sell some or all of its assets to qualified bidders. On October 9, 2015, Patriot’s bankruptcy court entered an order confirming Patriot’s plan of reorganization, which provided, among other things, for the sale of substantially all of Patriot’s assets to two different buyers. Black Lung Occupational Disease Liabilities. Patriot had federal and state black lung occupational disease liabilities related to workers employed in periods prior to Patriot’s spin-off from the Company in 2007. Upon spin-off, Patriot indemnified the Company against any claim relating to these liabilities, which amounted to approximately $150 million at that time. The indemnification included any claim made by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) against the Company with respect to these obligations as a potentially liable operator under the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969. The 2013 Agreement included Patriot’s affirmance of indemnities provided in the spin-off agreements, including the indemnity relating to such black lung liabilities; however, Patriot rejected this indemnity in its May 2015 bankruptcy. By statute, the Company had secondary liability for the black lung liabilities related to Patriot’s workers employed by former subsidiaries of the Company. The Company’s accounting for the black lung liabilities related to Patriot is based on an interpretation of applicable statutes. Management believes that inconsistencies exist among the applicable statutes, regulations promulgated under those statutes and the DOL’s interpretative guidance. The Company has sought clarification from the DOL regarding these inconsistencies. The accounting for these liabilities could be reduced in the future. Whether the Company will ultimately be required to fund certain of those obligations in the future as a result of Patriot’s May 2015 bankruptcy remains uncertain. The amount of the liability, which was determined on an actuarial basis based on the best information available to the Company, was $103.8 million and $102.7 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. While the Company has recorded a liability, it intends to review each claim on a case-by-case basis and contest liability estimates as appropriate. The amount of the Company’s recorded liability reflects only Patriot workers employed by former subsidiaries of the Company that are presently retired, disabled or otherwise not actively employed. The Company cannot reliably estimate the potential liabilities for Patriot’s workers employed by former subsidiaries of the Company that are presently active in the workforce because of the potential for such workers to continue to work for another coal operator that is a going concern. Combined Benefit Fund (Combined Fund). The Combined Fund was created by the Coal Act in 1992 as a multi-employer plan to provide health care benefits to a closed group of retirees who last worked prior to 1976, as well as orphaned beneficiaries of bankrupt companies who were receiving benefits as orphans prior to the passage of the Coal Act. No new retirees will be added to this group, which includes retirees formerly employed by certain Patriot subsidiaries and their predecessors. Former employers are required to contribute to the Combined Fund according to a formula. Under the terms of the Patriot spin-off, Patriot was primarily liable to the Combined Fund for the approximately $40 million of its subsidiaries’ obligations at that time. Once Patriot ceased meeting its obligations, the Company was held responsible for these costs and, as a result, recorded “Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes” charges of $0.2 million and during both the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , and $0.5 million during both the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 . The Company made payments into the fund of $1.4 million and $1.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, and estimates that the annual cash cost to fund these potential Combined Fund liabilities will range between $1 million and $2 million in the near-term, with those premiums expected to decline over time because the fund is closed to new participants. The liability related to the fund was $15.4 million and $16.4 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. UMWA 1974 Pension Plan (UMWA Plan) Litigation. On July 16, 2015, a lawsuit was filed by the UMWA Plan, the UMWA 1974 Pension Trust (Trust) and the Trustees of the UMWA Plan and Trust (Trustees) in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, against the Company, Peabody Holding Company, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, and Arch Coal, Inc. (Arch). The plaintiffs sought, pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and the Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980, a declaratory judgment that the defendants were obligated to arbitrate any opposition to the Trustees’ determination that the defendants had statutory withdrawal liability as a result of the 2015 Patriot bankruptcy. After a legal and arbitration process and with the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Missouri (Bankruptcy Court), on January 25, 2017, the UMWA Plan and the Company agreed to a settlement of the claim which entitled the UMWA Plan to $75 million to be paid by the Company in increments through 2021. The balance of the liability, on a discounted basis, was $24.9 million and $36.7 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.

Equity Method Investment, Summarized Financial Information [Abstract]
Equity Method Investments	Equity Method Investments The Company had total equity method investments of $29.3 million and $45.9 million reflected in “Investments and other assets” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively, related to Middlemount Coal Pty Ltd (Middlemount). Included in “Loss (income) from equity affiliates” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations was a loss of $18.8 million and $5.3 million related to Middlemount during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , respectively and income of $17.4 million and $65.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively. Middlemount’s standalone results include (on a 50% attributable basis): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 (Dollars in millions) Depreciation, depletion and amortization and asset retirement obligation expenses $ 8.2 $ 3.7 $ 15.3 $ 11.8 Net interest expense 2.4 2.8 6.4 10.0 Income tax (benefit) provision (7.5 ) 3.9 (1.6 ) 15.4 The Company received cash payments from Middlemount of $14.7 million and $81.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. One of the Company’s Australian subsidiaries and the other shareholder of Middlemount are parties to an agreement, as amended from time to time, to provide a revolving loan (Revolving Loans) to Middlemount not to exceed $50.0 million Australian dollars (Revolving Loan Limit). The Company’s participation in the Revolving Loans will not, at any time, exceed its 50% equity interest of the Revolving Loan Limit. The Revolving Loans bear interest at 15% per annum and expire on December 31, 2020. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the carrying value of the Revolving Loans due to the Company’s Australian subsidiary was $5.4 million and zero , respectively. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had an existing reserve of approximately $20 million related to an uncertain tax position that had been the subject of an ongoing income tax audit on Middlemount. In October 2019, subsequent to the balance sheet date, Middlemount received notification that the Australian Taxation Office will no longer pursue its position. Therefore, the related tax reserve will be released in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Derivatives and Fair Value Meas

Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements	9 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Derivatives and Fair Value [Text Block]	Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements Derivatives Corporate Risk Management Activities From time to time, the Company may utilize various types of derivative instruments to manage its exposure to risks in the normal course of business, including (1) foreign currency exchange rate risk and the variability of cash flows associated with forecasted Australian dollar expenditures made in its Australian mining platform, (2) price risk of fluctuating coal prices related to forecasted sales or purchases of coal, or changes in the fair value of a fixed price physical sales contract, (3) price risk and the variability of cash flows related to forecasted diesel fuel purchased for use in its operations, and (4) interest rate risk on long-term debt. These risk management activities are actively monitored for compliance with the Company’s risk management policies. As of September 30, 2019 , the Company had currency options outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of $925.0 million Australian dollars to hedge currency risk associated with anticipated Australian dollar expenditures during the remainder of 2019 and over the first six months of 2020. The instruments are quarterly average rate options whereby the Company is entitled to receive payment on the notional amount should the quarterly average Australian dollar-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate exceed amounts ranging from $0.73 to $0.76 over the remainder of 2019 and over the first six months of 2020. As of September 30, 2019 , the Company held coal-related financial contracts related to a portion of its forecasted sales for an aggregate notional volume of 2.8 million tonnes. Such financial contracts include futures, forwards and options. Of the aggregate notional volume, 0.9 million tonnes will settle in 2019, 1.6 million tonnes will settle in 2020 and the remainder will settle in 2021. The Company had no diesel fuel or interest rate derivatives in place as of September 30, 2019 . Coal Trading Activities On a limited basis, the Company engages in the direct and brokered trading of coal and freight-related contracts (coal trading). Except those contracts for which the Company has elected to apply a normal purchases and normal sales exception, all derivative coal trading contracts are accounted for at fair value. Coal brokering is conducted both as principal and agent in support of various coal production-related activities that may involve coal produced from the Company’s mines, coal sourcing arrangements with third-party mining companies or offtake agreements with other coal producers. The Company also provides transportation-related services, which involve both financial derivative contracts and physical contracts. Collectively, coal and freight-related hedging activities include both economic hedging and, from time to time, cash flow hedging in support of the Company’s coal trading strategy. Revenues from such transactions include realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments, including those that arise from coal deliveries related to contracts accounted for on an accrual basis under the normal purchases and normal sales exception. Offsetting and Balance Sheet Presentation The Company has master netting agreements with certain of its counterparties which allow for the settlement of contracts in an asset position with contracts in a liability position in the event of default or termination. Such netting arrangements reduce the Company’s credit exposure related to these counterparties. For classification purposes, the Company records the net fair value of all the positions with a given counterparty as a net asset or liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s coal trading assets and liabilities include financial instruments cleared through various exchanges, which involve the daily net settlement of open positions. The Company must post cash collateral in the form of initial margin, in addition to variation margin, on exchange-cleared positions that are in a net liability position and receives variation margin when in a net asset position. The Company also transacts in coal trading financial swaps and options through over-the-counter (OTC) markets with financial institutions and other non-financial trading entities under International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreements, which contain symmetrical default provisions. Certain of the Company’s coal trading agreements with OTC counterparties also contain credit support provisions that may periodically require the Company to post, or entitle the Company to receive, variation margin. Physical coal and freight-related purchase and sale contracts included in the Company’s coal trading assets and liabilities are executed pursuant to master purchase and sale agreements that also contain symmetrical default provisions and allow for the netting and setoff of receivables and payables that arise during the same time period. The Company offsets its coal trading asset and liability derivative positions, and variation margin related to those positions, on a counterparty-by-counterparty basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of derivatives reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets are set forth in the table below. September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Asset Derivative Liability Derivative Asset Derivative Liability Derivative (Dollars in millions) Foreign currency option contracts $ 0.6 $ — $ 1.2 $ — Coal contracts related to forecasted sales 19.5 (1.8 ) 6.6 (23.1 ) Coal trading contracts 111.6 (95.8 ) 59.7 (64.4 ) Total derivatives 131.7 (97.6 ) 67.5 (87.5 ) Effect of counterparty netting (97.6 ) 97.6 (64.5 ) 64.5 Variation margin (held) posted (30.0 ) — — 21.8 Net derivatives and margin as classified in the balance sheets $ 4.1 $ — $ 3.0 $ (1.2 ) The net amount of asset derivatives, net of margin, are included in “Other current assets” and the net amount of liability derivatives, net of margin, are included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Effects of Derivatives on Measures of Financial Performance Currently, the Company does not seek cash flow hedge accounting treatment for its currency- or coal-related derivative financial instruments and thus changes in fair value are reflected in current earnings. The tables below show the amounts of pre-tax gains and losses related to the Company’s derivatives.

The Company classifies the cash effects of its derivatives within the “Cash Flows From Operating Activities” section of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Fair Value Measurements The Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on the observability of the inputs utilized in the valuation. These levels include: Level 1 - inputs are quoted prices in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 - inputs are other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable through market-corroborated inputs; and Level 3 - inputs are unobservable, or observable but cannot be market-corroborated, requiring the Company to make assumptions about pricing by market participants. The following tables set forth the hierarchy of the Company’s net financial asset positions for which fair value is measured on a recurring basis: September 30, 2019 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (Dollars in millions) Foreign currency option contracts $ — $ 0.6 $ — $ 0.6 Coal contracts related to forecasted sales — 23.3 — 23.3 Coal trading contracts — (19.8 ) — (19.8 ) Equity securities — — 10.0 10.0 Total net financial assets $ — $ 4.1 $ 10.0 $ 14.1 December 31, 2018 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (Dollars in millions) Foreign currency option contracts $ — $ 1.2 $ — $ 1.2 Coal contracts related to forecasted sales — (21.2 ) — (21.2 ) Coal trading contracts — 21.8 — 21.8 Equity securities — — 10.0 10.0 Total net financial assets $ — $ 1.8 $ 10.0 $ 11.8 For Level 1 and 2 financial assets and liabilities, the Company utilizes both direct and indirect observable price quotes, including interest rate yield curves, exchange indices, broker/dealer quotes, published indices, issuer spreads, benchmark securities and other market quotes. In the case of certain debt securities, fair value is provided by a third-party pricing service. Below is a summary of the Company’s valuation techniques for Level 1 and 2 financial assets and liabilities: • Foreign currency option contracts: valued utilizing inputs obtained in quoted public markets (Level 2) except when credit and non-performance risk is considered to be a significant input, then the Company classifies such contracts as Level 3. • Coal contracts related to forecasted sales and coal trading contracts: generally valued based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) or a valuation that is corroborated by the use of market-based pricing (Level 2) except when credit and non-performance risk is considered to be a significant input (greater than 10% of fair value), then the Company classifies as Level 3. • Investments in equity securities are based on observed prices in an inactive market (Level 3). Other Financial Instruments . The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values for other financial instruments as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 : • Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, including those within the Company’s accounts receivable securitization program, notes receivable and accounts payable have carrying values which approximate fair value due to the short maturity or the liquid nature of these instruments. • Long-term debt fair value estimates are based on observed prices for securities with an active trading market when available (Level 2), and otherwise on estimated borrowing rates to discount the cash flows to their present value (Level 3). Market risk associated with the Company’s fixed- and variable-rate long-term debt relates to the potential reduction in the fair value and negative impact to future earnings, respectively, from an increase in interest rates. The fair value of debt, shown below, is principally based on reported market values, recently completed market transactions and estimates based on interest rates, maturities, credit risk and underlying collateral. September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 (Dollars in millions) Total debt at par value $ 1,413.6 $ 1,437.0 Less: Unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount (60.8 ) (70.0 ) Net carrying amount $ 1,352.8 $ 1,367.0 Estimated fair value $ 1,375.5 $ 1,366.2 The Company’s risk management function, which is independent of the Company’s coal trading function, is responsible for valuation policies and procedures, with oversight from executive management. Generally, the Company’s Level 3 instruments or contracts are valued using bid/ask price quotations and other market assessments obtained from multiple, independent third-party brokers or other transactional data incorporated into internally-generated discounted cash flow models. Decreases in the number of third-party brokers or market liquidity could erode the quality of market information and therefore the valuation of the Company’s market positions. The Company’s valuation techniques include basis adjustments to the foregoing price inputs for quality, such as sulfur and ash content, location differentials, expressed as port and freight costs, and credit risk. The Company’s risk management function independently validates the Company’s valuation inputs, including unobservable inputs, with third-party information and settlement prices from other sources where available. A daily process is performed to analyze market price changes and changes to the portfolio. Further periodic validation occurs at the time contracts are settled with the counterparty. These valuation techniques have been consistently applied in all periods presented, and the Company believes it has obtained the most accurate information available for the types of derivative contracts held. Significant increases or decreases in the inputs in isolation could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The unobservable inputs do not have a direct interrelationship; therefore, a change in one unobservable input would not necessarily correspond with a change in another unobservable input. The Company had no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 . The Company’s policy is to value all transfers between levels using the beginning of period valuation. Credit and Nonperformance Risk. The fair value of the Company’s coal derivative assets and liabilities reflects adjustments for credit risk. The Company’s exposure is substantially with electric utilities, energy marketers, steel producers and nonfinancial trading houses. The Company’s policy is to independently evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness prior to entering into transactions and to regularly monitor the credit extended. If the Company engages in a transaction with a counterparty that does not meet its credit standards, the Company seeks to protect its position by requiring the counterparty to provide an appropriate credit enhancement. Also, when appropriate (as determined by its credit management function), the Company has taken steps to reduce its exposure to customers or counterparties whose credit has deteriorated and who may pose a higher risk of failure to perform under their contractual obligations. These steps include obtaining letters of credit or cash collateral (margin), requiring prepayments for shipments or the creation of customer trust accounts held for the Company’s benefit to serve as collateral in the event of a failure to pay or perform. To reduce its credit exposure related to trading and brokerage activities, the Company seeks to enter into netting agreements with counterparties that permit the Company to offset asset and liability positions with such counterparties and, to the extent required, the Company will post or receive margin amounts associated with exchange-cleared and certain OTC positions. The Company also continually monitors counterparty and contract non-performance risk, if present, on a case-by-case basis. As of September 30, 2019 , 57% of the Company’s credit exposure related to coal trading activities was with investment grade counterparties and 43% was with counterparties that are not rated. Performance Assurances and Collateral The Company is required by the exchanges upon which it transacts to post certain additional collateral, known as initial margin, which represents an estimate of potential future adverse price movements across the Company’s portfolio under normal market conditions. The Company posted initial margin of $12.8 million and $16.7 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively, which is reflected in “Other current assets” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had posted $0.2 million and $2.2 million in excess of margin requirements, respectively. The Company is required to post variation margin on positions that are in a net liability position and is entitled to receive and hold variation margin on positions that are in a net asset position with an exchange and certain of its OTC derivative contract counterparties. As of September 30, 2019 , the Company was in receipt of $30.0 million in variation margin, while it had posted $21.8 million of net variation margin at December 31, 2018 . Certain of the Company’s derivative trading instruments require the parties to provide additional performance assurances whenever a material adverse event jeopardizes one party’s ability to perform under the instrument. If the Company was to sustain a material adverse event (using commercially reasonable standards), its counterparties could request collateralization on derivative trading instruments in net liability positions which, based on aggregate fair values, would have required $0.1 million additional collateral postings to counterparties at September 30, 2019 , and approximately $1.3 million at December 31, 2018 . As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the Company was not required to post collateral to counterparties for such positions.

The balances, net of accumulated amortization, and respective balance sheet classifications at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , are set forth in the following tables: September 30, 2019 Assets Liabilities Net Total (Dollars in millions) Coal supply agreements $ 44.5 $ (23.4 ) $ 21.1 Take-or-pay contracts — (41.2 ) (41.2 ) Total $ 44.5 $ (64.6 ) $ (20.1 ) Balance sheet classification: Investments and other assets $ 44.5 $ — $ 44.5 Accounts payable and accrued expenses — (9.5 ) (9.5 ) Other noncurrent liabilities — (55.1 ) (55.1 ) Total $ 44.5 $ (64.6 ) $ (20.1 ) December 31, 2018 Assets Liabilities Net Total (Dollars in millions) Coal supply agreements $ 70.9 $ (32.9 ) $ 38.0 Take-or-pay contracts — (57.1 ) (57.1 ) Total $ 70.9 $ (90.0 ) $ (19.1 ) Balance sheet classification: Investments and other assets $ 70.9 $ — $ 70.9 Accounts payable and accrued expenses — (20.3 ) (20.3 ) Other noncurrent liabilities — (69.7 ) (69.7 ) Total $ 70.9 $ (90.0 ) $ (19.1 ) Amortization of the intangible assets and liabilities related to coal supply agreements occurs ratably based upon coal volumes shipped per contract and is recorded as a component of “Depreciation, depletion and amortization” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Such amortization amounted to $5.3 million and $24.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, and $16.9 million and $78.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. The Company anticipates net amortization of sales contracts, based upon expected shipments, to be an expense of approximately $6 million during the remaining three months of 2019, and for the years 2020 through 2023 , expense of approximately $11 million , $2 million , $1 million and $1 million , respectively. Future unutilized capacity and the amortization periods related to the take-or-pay contract intangible liabilities are based upon estimates of forecasted usage. Such amortization, which is classified as a reduction to “Operating costs and expenses” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, amounted to $2.7 million and $5.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, and $13.9 million and $21.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. The Company anticipates net amortization of take-or-pay contract intangible liabilities to be approximately $3 million during the remaining three months of 2019, and for the years 2020 through 2023 , approximately $8 million , $4 million , $3 million and $2 million , respectively, and $21 million thereafter.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases of Lessee Disclosure [Text Block]	Leases The Company has operating and finance leases for mining and non-mining equipment, office space and certain other facilities under various non-cancellable agreements. Historically, the majority of the Company’s leases have been accounted for as operating leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. For the purpose of calculating such present values, lease payments include components that vary based upon an index or rate, using the prevailing index or rate at the commencement date, and exclude components that vary based upon other factors. As most of its leases do not contain a readily determinable implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at commencement to determine the present value of lease payments. The Company's leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease, and such options are reflected in the term when their exercise is reasonably certain. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For certain equipment leases, the Company applies a portfolio approach to effectively account for the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have guaranteed other subsidiaries’ performance under various lease obligations. Certain lease agreements are subject to the restrictive covenants of the Company’s credit facilities and include cross-acceleration provisions, under which the lessor could require remedies including, but not limited to, immediate recovery of the present value of any remaining lease payments. The Company typically agrees to indemnify lessors for the value of the property or equipment leased, should the property be damaged or lost during the course of the Company’s operations. The Company expects that losses with respect to leased property, if any, may be covered by insurance (subject to deductibles). Aside from indemnification of the lessor for the value of the property leased, the Company’s maximum potential obligations under its leases are equal to the respective future minimum lease payments, and the Company assumes that no amounts could be recovered from third parties. In this regard, the Company has recorded provisions amounting to $50.7 million related to the loss of leased equipment at its North Goonyella Mine as described in Note 16. “Other Events.” One of the Company’s operating lease agreements for underground mining equipment in Australia entered into in 2013 requires contingent rent to be paid only if and when certain coal is mined at a specified margin as defined in the agreements. There was no contingent expense related to that arrangement for the periods listed below. The components of lease expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 (Dollars in millions) Operating lease cost: Operating lease cost $ 9.9 $ 33.9 Short-term lease cost 15.8 34.7 Variable lease cost 2.0 16.6 Sublease income (1.0 ) (1.9 ) Total operating lease cost $ 26.7 $ 83.3 Finance lease cost: Amortization of right-of-use assets $ 3.4 $ 12.0 Interest on lease liabilities 0.3 1.2 Total finance lease cost $ 3.7 $ 13.2 Rental expense under operating leases, including expense related to short-term operating leases, was $36.3 million and $122.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively.

Long-term Debt	Long-term Debt The Company’s total indebtedness as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consisted of the following: September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 (Dollars in millions) 6.000% Senior Secured Notes due March 2022 $ 500.0 $ 500.0 6.375% Senior Secured Notes due March 2025 500.0 500.0 Senior Secured Term Loan due 2025, net of original issue discount 393.0 395.9 Finance lease obligations 19.6 40.0 Less: Debt issuance costs (59.8 ) (68.9 ) 1,352.8 1,367.0 Less: Current portion of long-term debt 23.4 36.5 Long-term debt $ 1,329.4 $ 1,330.5 6.000% and 6.375% Senior Secured Notes On February 15, 2017, the Company entered into an indenture (the Indenture) with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, relating to its issuance of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.000% senior secured notes due 2022 (the 2022 Notes) and $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior secured notes due 2025 (the 2025 Notes and, together with the 2022 Notes, the Senior Notes). The Senior Notes were sold on February 15, 2017 in a private transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. The Senior Notes were issued at par value. The Company paid aggregate debt issuance costs of $49.5 million related to the offering, which are being amortized over the respective terms of the Senior Notes. Interest payments on the Senior Notes are scheduled to occur each year on March 31 and September 30 until maturity. During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , the Company recorded interest expense of $18.1 million a nd $19.1 million , respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , the Company recorded interest expense of $54.2 million and $54.0 million , respectively, related to the Senior Notes. The Company may redeem the 2022 Notes during 2019, in whole or in part, at 103.0% of par, in 2020 at 101.5% of par, and in 2021 and thereafter at par. The 2025 Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, beginning in 2020 at 104.8% of par, in 2021 at 103.2% of par, in 2022 at 101.6% of par, and in 2023 and thereafter at par. In addition, prior to the first date on which the Senior Notes are redeemable at the redemption prices noted above, the Company may also redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at a calculated make-whole premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest. On August 9, 2018, the Company executed an amendment to the Indenture following the solicitation of consents from the requisite majorities of holders of each series of Senior Notes. The amendment permits a category of restricted payments at any time not to exceed the sum of $650.0 million , plus an additional $150.0 million per calendar year, commencing with calendar year 2019, with unused amounts in any calendar year carrying forward to and available for restricted payments in any subsequent calendar year. The Company paid consenting Senior Note holders $10.00 in cash per $1,000 principal amount of 2022 Notes and $30.00 in cash per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Notes, which amounted to $19.8 million in aggregate consent payments. Such consent payments were capitalized as additional debt issuance costs to be amortized over the respective terms of the Senior Notes. The Company also expensed $1.5 million of other payments associated with the amendment to “Interest expense” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations during 2018. The Indenture contains customary conditions of default and imposes certain restrictions on the Company’s activities, including its ability to incur liens, incur debt, make investments, engage in fundamental changes such as mergers and dissolutions, dispose of assets, enter into transactions with affiliates and make certain restricted payments, such as cash dividends and share repurchases. The Senior Notes rank senior in right of payment to any subordinated indebtedness and equally in right of payment with any senior indebtedness to the extent of the collateral securing that indebtedness. The Senior Notes are jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by substantially all of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries and secured by first priority liens over (1) substantially all of the assets of the Company and the guarantors, except for certain excluded assets, (2) 100% of the capital stock of each domestic restricted subsidiary of the Company, (3) 100% of the non-voting capital stock of each first tier foreign subsidiary of the Company or a foreign subsidiary holding company and no more than 65% of the voting capital stock of each first tier foreign subsidiary of the Company or a foreign subsidiary holding company, (4) a legal charge of 65% of the voting capital stock and 100% of the non-voting capital stock of Peabody Investments (Gibraltar) Limited and (5) all intercompany debt owed to the Company or any guarantor, in each case, subject to certain exceptions. The obligations under the Senior Notes are secured on a pari passu basis by the same collateral securing the Credit Agreement (as defined below), subject to certain exceptions. Credit Agreement The Company entered into a credit agreement, dated as of April 3, 2017, among the Company, as borrower, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent, and other lenders party thereto (the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement originally provided for a $950.0 million senior secured term loan (the Senior Secured Term Loan), which was to mature in 2022 prior to the amendments described below. Following the voluntary prepayments and amendments described below, the Credit Agreement provided for a $400.0 million first lien senior secured term loan, which bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum as of September 30, 2019 . During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , the Company recorded interest expense of $5.6 million and $5.1 million , respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , the Company recorded interest expense of $17.0 million and $18.5 million , respectively, related to the Senior Secured Term Loan. Proceeds from the Senior Secured Term Loan were received net of an original issue discount and deferred financing costs of $37.3 million that are being amortized over its term. The loan principal is payable in quarterly installments plus accrued interest through December 2024 with the remaining balance due in March 2025. The loan principal was voluntarily prepayable at 101% of the principal amount repaid if prepayment occurred prior to October 2018 (subject to certain exceptions, including prepayments made with internally generated cash) and is voluntarily prepayable at any time thereafter without premium or penalty. The Senior Secured Term Loan may require mandatory principal prepayments of up to 75% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for any fiscal year if the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement and calculated at December 31, net of any unrestricted cash) is greater than 2.00 :1.00. The mandatory principal prepayment requirement changes to (i) 50% of Excess Cash Flow if the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 2.00 :1.00 and greater than 1.50 :1.00, (ii) 25% of Excess Cash Flow if the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 1.50 :1.00 and greater than 1.00 :1.00, or (iii) zero if the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 1.00 :1.00. If required, mandatory prepayments resulting from Excess Cash Flows are payable within 100 days after the end of each fiscal year. The calculation of mandatory prepayments would be reduced commensurately by the amount of previous voluntary prepayments. In certain circumstances, the Senior Secured Term Loan requires that Excess Proceeds (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of $10.0 million or greater received from sales of Company assets be applied against the loan principal, unless such proceeds are reinvested within one year. The Senior Secured Term Loan also requires that any net insurance proceeds be applied against the loan principal, unless such proceeds are reinvested within one year. The Credit Agreement contains customary conditions of default and imposes certain restrictions on the Company’s activities, including its ability to incur liens, incur debt, make investments, engage in fundamental changes such as mergers and dissolutions, dispose of assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, and make certain restricted payments, such as cash dividends and share repurchases. Obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured on a pari passu basis by the same collateral securing the Senior Notes. Since entering into the Credit Agreement, the Company has repaid $556.0 million of the original $950.0 million loan principal amount on the Senior Secured Term Loan in various installments, including $546.0 million of voluntary prepayments. In September 2017, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement which permitted the Company to add an incremental revolving credit facility in addition to the Company’s ability to add one or more incremental term loan facilities under the Credit Agreement. The incremental revolving credit facility and/or incremental term loan facilities originally allowed for an aggregate principal amount of up to $350.0 million plus additional amounts so long as the Company remains in compliance with Total Leverage Ratio requirements as set forth in the Credit Agreement. The amendment also made available an additional restricted payment basket that permits additional repurchases, dividends or other distributions with respect to the Company’s common and preferred stock in an aggregate amount up to $450.0 million so long as the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is at least 2.00 :1.00 on a pro forma basis. In April 2018, the Company entered into another amendment to the Credit Agreement which lowered the interest rate on the Senior Secured Term Loan to its current level of LIBOR plus 2.75% and eliminated an existing 1.0% LIBOR floor. The amendment also extended the maturity of the Senior Secured Term Loan by three years to 2025 and eliminated previous capital expenditure restriction covenants on both the Senior Secured Term Loan and the incremental revolving credit facility described below. In connection with this amendment, the Company voluntarily repaid $46.0 million of principal on the Senior Secured Term Loan. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company entered into the incremental revolving credit facility (the Revolver) for an aggregate commitment of $350.0 million for general corporate purposes and paid debt issuance costs of $4.7 million . In September 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement which increased the aggregate commitment amount under the Revolver to $565.0 million and extended the maturity date on $540.0 million of the commitments from November 2020 to September 2023. The maturity date for the remaining $25.0 million commitment is November 2020. The Company incurred $5.7 million of additional debt issuance costs in connection with the amendment. The Revolver currently permits loans which bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.25% , as well as letters of credit which incur combined fees of 3.375% per annum. Unused capacity under the Revolver bears a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum. As a result of the amendment, such loans, letters of credit and unused capacity related to the $540.0 million of extended commitments will bear interest and incur fees at rates dependent upon the Company’s First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) beginning in 2020. The Revolver is also subject to a 2.00 :1.00 Total Leverage Ratio requirement (as defined in the Credit Agreement), modified to limit unrestricted cash netting to $800.0 million . To date, the Revolver has only been utilized for letters of credit, including $66.4 million outstanding at September 30, 2019 . Such letters of credit were primarily in support of the Company’s reclamation obligations, as further described in Note 18. “Financial Instruments and Other Guarantees.” During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , the Company recorded interest expense and fees of $1.4 million and $1.3 million , respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , the Company recorded interest expense and fees of $4.5 million and $4.3 million , respectively, related to the Revolver. Restricted Payments Under the Senior Notes and Credit Agreement In addition to the $450.0 million restricted payment basket provided for under the September 2017 amendment, the Credit Agreement provides a builder basket for additional restricted payments subject to a maximum Total Leverage Ratio of 2.00 :1.00 (as defined in the Credit Agreement). In addition to the $650.0 million restricted payment basket, plus an additional $150.0 million per calendar year, provided under the August 2018 amendment, the Indenture provides a builder basket for restricted payments that is calculated based upon the Company’s Consolidated Net Income, and is subject to a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 2.25 :1.00 (as defined in the Indenture). Further, under both the Indenture and Credit Agreement, additional restricted payments are permitted through a $50.0 million general basket and an annual aggregate $25.0 million basket which allows dividends and common stock repurchases. The payment of dividends and purchases of common stock under this annual aggregate $25.0 million basket are permitted so long as the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio would not exceed 1.25 :1.00 on a pro forma basis (as defined in the Credit Agreement and Indenture). Finance Lease Obligations Refer to Note 11. “Leases” for additional information associated with the Company’s finance leases, which pertain to the financing of mining equipment used in operations.

Pension and Postretirement Benefit Costs	Pension and Postretirement Benefit Costs The components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs, excluding the service cost for benefits earned, are included in “Net periodic benefit costs, excluding service cost” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Net periodic pension cost (benefit) included the following components: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 (Dollars in millions) Service cost for benefits earned $ 0.5 $ 0.6 $ 1.5 $ 1.7 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 8.4 7.9 25.1 23.6 Expected return on plan assets (7.9 ) (10.7 ) (23.5 ) (32.1 ) Net periodic pension cost (benefit) $ 1.0 $ (2.2 ) $ 3.1 $ (6.8 ) Annual contributions to the qualified plans are made in accordance with minimum funding standards and the Company’s agreement with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. Funding decisions also consider certain funded status thresholds defined by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (generally 80% ). As of September 30, 2019 , the Company’s qualified plans were expected to be at or above the Pension Protection Act thresholds. Minimum funding standards are legislated by ERISA and are modified by pension funding stabilization provisions included in the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act of 2012, the Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014 and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015. The Company is not required to make any contributions to its qualified pension plans in 2019 based on minimum funding requirements; however, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 , the Company made a discretionary contribution of $20.0 million to one of its qualified pension plans. Net periodic postretirement benefit cost included the following components: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 (Dollars in millions) Service cost for benefits earned $ 1.2 $ 2.1 $ 3.6 $ 6.2 Interest cost on accumulated postretirement benefit obligation 6.3 7.0 18.9 21.2 Expected return on plan assets (0.2 ) — (0.4 ) — Amortization of prior service credit (2.2 ) — (6.6 ) — Net periodic postretirement benefit cost $ 5.1 $ 9.1 $ 15.5 $ 27.4 In October 2018, the Company amended its postretirement health care benefit plan which reduced its accumulated postretirement benefit obligation, as further described in Note 17. “Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefits” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The reduction in liability has been recorded with an offsetting balance in “Accumulated other comprehensive income,” net of a deferred tax provision, and is being amortized to earnings over an average remaining service period to full eligibility for participating employees. In 2018, the Company established a Voluntary Employees Beneficiary Association (VEBA) trust to pre-fund a portion of benefits for non-represented retirees. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 , the Company made a pre-funding contribution of $17.0 million to the VEBA.

Other Events [Abstract]
Other Events	Other Events PRB Colorado Joint Venture with Arch On June 18, 2019, the Company entered into a definitive implementation agreement (the Implementation Agreement) with Arch, to establish a joint venture that will combine the respective Powder River Basin and Colorado mining operations of Peabody and Arch. Pursuant to the terms of the Implementation Agreement, Peabody will hold a 66.5% economic interest in the joint venture and Arch will hold a 33.5% economic interest. The Company expects to proportionally consolidate the entity based upon its economic interest. Governance of the joint venture will be overseen by the joint venture’s board of managers, which will be comprised of Peabody and Arch representatives with voting powers proportionate with the companies’ economic interests. Peabody will manage the operations of the joint venture, subject to the supervision of the joint venture’s board of managers. Formation of the joint venture is subject to customary closing conditions, including the termination or expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, the receipt of certain other required regulatory approvals and the absence of injunctions or other legal restraints preventing the formation of the joint venture. The proposed joint venture is progressing through the U.S. Federal Trade Commission regulatory review process which is anticipated to conclude during the first half of 2020, and which would result in the clearance to form the joint venture or litigation to block its execution. The existing outstanding indebtedness of both Peabody and Arch limits significant transactions such as the joint venture, and accordingly, formation is subject to Peabody and Arch amending such outstanding indebtedness under agreeable terms. In September 2019, the Company amended its Credit Agreement to expressly permit formation of the joint venture and is exploring various alternatives under the Indenture governing the Senior Notes. At such time as control over the existing operations is exchanged, the Company will account for its interest in the combined operations at fair value, which could result in a significant loss. North Goonyella The Company’s North Goonyella Mine in Queensland, Australia experienced a fire in a portion of the mine during September 2018. Mining operations have been suspended since September 2018. No mine personnel were physically harmed by the September 2018 events. On November 13, 2018, the Queensland Mine Inspectorate (QMI) initiated an investigation into the events that occurred at the mine to determine the cause of the event, assess the response to it and make recommendations to reduce the possibility of future incidents and improve response. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company completed segmenting of the mine into multiple zones to facilitate a phased re-ventilation and re-entry of the mine. The Company commenced re-ventilation of the first zone of the mine during the second quarter of 2019 and subsequently re-entered the area in July 2019. Following these activities and a subsequent detailed assessment, the Company concluded during the fourth quarter of 2019 that due to the time, cost and required regulatory approach to ventilate and re-enter the entire mine, the Company will not pursue attempts to access certain portions of the mine through existing mine workings, but will instead move to the southern panels. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded $58.0 million in containment and idling costs related to the events at North Goonyella Mine and a provision of $66.4 million for expected equipment losses. The portion recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 amounted to $9.0 million in containment and idling costs and a provision of $49.3 million for expected equipment losses. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , the Company recorded an additional $29.3 million and $94.6 million , respectively, in containment and idling costs, and an additional provision of $24.7 million related to equipment losses was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as more information became available. The combined provision includes $50.7 million for the estimated cost to replace leased equipment, $23.2 million related to the cost of Company-owned equipment and $17.2 million of other charges, which represents the best estimate of loss based on the assessments made at September 30, 2019. Given the revision in its approach to accessing the remaining reserves made during the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company recorded an additional provision for equipment losses of approximately $60 million , primarily related to unrecoverable longwall panel development, subsequent to September 30, 2019. In the event that no future mining occurs at the North Goonyella Mine, the Company may record additional charges for the remaining carrying value of the North Goonyella Mine of up to approximately $272 million . Incremental exposures above the aforementioned include take-or-pay obligations and other costs associated with idling or closing the mine. In March 2019, the Company entered into an insurance claim settlement agreement with its insurers and various re-insurers under a combined property damage and business interruption policy and recorded a $125 million insurance recovery, the maximum amount available under the policy above a $50 million deductible. The Company has collected the full amount of the recovery. On April 30, 2019, Peabody (Bowen) Pty Ltd entered into an option exercise and release agreement with Yancoal Technology Development Pty Ltd pursuant to which Peabody (Bowen) Pty Ltd exercised an option to acquire from Yancoal Technology Development Pty Ltd the longwall mining equipment used under license at the North Goonyella Mine for $54.2 million , which was consistent with what the Company recorded as a provision for equipment losses for the related impaired assets. Divestitures In June 2018, Peabody entered into an agreement to sell approximately 23 million tonnes of metallurgical coal resources adjacent to its Millennium Mine to Stanmore Coal Limited (Stanmore) for approximately $22 million . The sale was completed in July 2018, and the Company recorded a gain of $20.5 million which is included within “ Net gain on disposals ” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 . On February 6, 2018, the Company sold its 50% interest in the Red Mountain Joint Venture (RMJV) with BHP Billiton Mitsui Coal Pty Ltd (BMC) for $20.0 million and recorded a gain of $7.1 million , which is included within “ Net gain on disposals ” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 . RMJV operated the coal handling and preparation plant utilized by the Company’s Millennium Mine. BMC assumed the reclamation obligations and other commitments associated with the assets of RMJV. The Millennium Mine will have continued usage of the coal handling and preparation plant and the associated rail loading facility until the end of 2019 via a coal washing take-or-pay agreement with BMC. In January 2018, Peabody entered into an agreement to sell its share in certain surplus land assets in Queensland’s Bowen Basin to Pembroke Resources South Pty Ltd for approximately $37 million Australian dollars, net of transaction costs. The necessary approval of the Australian Foreign Investment Review Board to complete the transaction was received on March 29, 2018, satisfying all the conditions precedent to the sale, and the Company recorded a gain of $20.6 million , which is included within “ Net gain on disposals ” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 . United Wambo Joint Venture with Glencore In 2014, the Company agreed to establish an unincorporated joint venture project with Glencore plc (Glencore), in which the Company holds a 50% interest, to combine the existing operations of the Company’s Wambo Open-Cut Mine in Australia with the adjacent coal reserves of Glencore’s United Mine. Glencore will manage the operations of the joint venture. The joint venture is expected to be formed during 2019, subject to substantive contingencies for the requisite regulatory and permitting approvals. Mining tenements will be contributed at formation and open-cut operations will be transitioned at first scheduled coal delivery date of joint venture operations. The Company will account for the components of the transaction at fair value, which could result in a gain or loss. Asset Impairment and At-Risk Assets In addition to the provision for North Goonyella equipment losses described above, the Company recorded $20.0 million of asset impairment charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to the remaining probability-weighted discounted cash flows of its Wildcat Hills Underground Mine, which the Company has announced will likely close in the fourth quarter of 2019. No asset impairment charges were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 . Due to the unobservable inputs within the modeling used to determine fair market values utilized in the Company's asset impairment analyses, such fair values would be considered Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company has identified certain assets with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $358 million at September 30, 2019 in its Midwestern U.S. Mining, Western U.S. Mining and Corporate and Other segments whose recoverability is most sensitive to coal pricing, cost pressures and customer concentration risk. The Company conducted a review of those assets for recoverability as of September 30, 2019 and determined that no further impairment charges were necessary as of that date.

Earnings per Share (EPS)

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings per Share (EPS)	Earnings per Share (EPS) Basic EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding. As such, the Company includes the share-based compensation awards in its potentially dilutive securities. Dilutive securities are not included in the computation of loss per share when a company reports a net loss from continuing operations as the impact would be anti-dilutive. During the periods which included the Company’s convertible preferred stock, basic and diluted EPS were computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company’s convertible preferred stock was considered a participating security because holders were entitled to receive dividends on an if-converted basis. Diluted EPS assumes that participating securities are not executed or converted. For all but the performance units, the potentially dilutive impact of the Company’s share-based compensation awards is determined using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, awards are treated as if they had been exercised with any proceeds used to repurchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Any incremental difference between the assumed number of shares issued and purchased is included in the diluted share computation. For the performance units, their contingent features result in an assessment for any potentially dilutive common stock by using the end of the reporting period as if it were the end of the contingency period for all units granted. The computation of diluted EPS excluded aggregate share-based compensation awards of approximately 1.7 million and 0.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , respectively, and less than 0.1 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for those periods. Because the potential dilutive impact of such share-based compensation awards is calculated under the treasury stock method, anti-dilution generally occurs when the exercise prices or unrecognized compensation cost per share of such awards are higher than the Company’s average stock price during the applicable period. The following illustrates the earnings allocation method utilized in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS. Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 (In millions, except per share data) EPS numerator: (Loss) income from continuing operations, net of income taxes $ (74.3 ) $ 83.9 $ 101.9 $ 412.2 Less: Series A Convertible Preferred Stock dividends — — — 102.5 Less: Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests 4.7 8.3 12.8 8.9 (Loss) income from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders, before allocation of earnings to participating securities (79.0 ) 75.6 89.1 300.8 Less: Earnings allocated to participating securities — — — 5.7 (Loss) income from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders, after allocation of earnings to participating securities (1) (79.0 ) 75.6 89.1 295.1 Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes (3.8 ) (4.1 ) (10.6 ) (9.0 ) Less: Loss from discontinued operations allocated to participating securities — — — (0.2 ) Loss from discontinued operations attributable to common stockholders, after allocation of earnings to participating securities (3.8 ) (4.1 ) (10.6 ) (8.8 ) Net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders, after allocation of earnings to participating securities (1) $ (82.8 ) $ 71.5 $ 78.5 $ 286.3 EPS denominator: Weighted average shares outstanding — basic 102.2 118.6 105.9 121.3 Impact of dilutive securities — 1.7 1.5 1.8 Weighted average shares outstanding — diluted (2) 102.2 120.3 107.4 123.1 Basic EPS attributable to common stockholders: (Loss) income from continuing operations $ (0.77 ) $ 0.64 $ 0.84 $ 2.43 Loss from discontinued operations (0.04 ) (0.04 ) (0.10 ) (0.07 ) Net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders $ (0.81 ) $ 0.60 $ 0.74 $ 2.36 Diluted EPS attributable to common stockholders: (Loss) income from continuing operations $ (0.77 ) $ 0.63 $ 0.83 $ 2.40 Loss from discontinued operations (0.04 ) (0.04 ) (0.10 ) (0.07 ) Net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders $ (0.81 ) $ 0.59 $ 0.73 $ 2.33 (1) The reallocation adjustment for participating securities to arrive at the numerator to calculate diluted EPS was $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 . (2) The two-class method assumes that participating securities are not exercised or converted. As such, weighted average diluted shares outstanding excluded 2.8 million shares related to the participating securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 . As of January 31, 2018, all 30.0 million shares of convertible preferred stock issued upon the Company’s emergence from the Chapter 11 reorganization had been converted into 59.3 million shares of common stock, which is inclusive of the shares that had been issued for the payable in-kind preferred stock dividends.

Financial Instruments And Guarantees [Abstract]
Financial Instruments and Other Guarantees	Financial Instruments and Other Guarantees In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to various guarantees and financial instruments that carry off-balance-sheet risk and are not reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. At September 30, 2019 , such instruments included $1,599.3 million of surety bonds and $200.5 million of letters of credit. Such financial instruments provide support for the Company’s reclamation bonding requirements, lease obligations, insurance policies and various other performance guarantees. The Company periodically evaluates the instruments for on-balance-sheet treatment based on the amount of exposure under the instrument and the likelihood of required performance. The Company does not expect any material losses to result from these guarantees or off-balance-sheet instruments in excess of liabilities provided for in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company is required to provide various forms of financial assurance in support of its mining reclamation obligations in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Such requirements are typically established by statute or under mining permits. At September 30, 2019 , the Company’s asset retirement obligations of $760.0 million were supported by surety bonds of $1,394.9 million , as well as letters of credit issued under the Company’s receivables securitization program and Revolver amounting to $106.1 million . Accounts Receivable Securitization The Company entered into the Sixth Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, as amended, dated as of April 3, 2017 (the Receivables Purchase Agreement) to extend the Company’s receivables securitization facility previously in place and expand that facility to include certain receivables from the Company’s Australian operations. The receivables securitization program (Securitization Program) is subject to customary events of default set forth in the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Securitization Program provides for up to $250.0 million in funding accounted for as a secured borrowing, limited to the availability of eligible receivables, and may be secured by a combination of collateral and the trade receivables underlying the program, from time to time. Funding capacity under the Securitization Program may also be utilized for letters of credit in support of other obligations. During 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the Securitization Program to extend its term through April 1, 2022 and reduce program fees. Under the terms of the Securitization Program, the Company contributes the trade receivables of its participating subsidiaries on a revolving basis to P&L Receivables, its wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary, which then sells the receivables to unaffiliated banks. P&L Receivables retains the ability to repurchase the receivables in certain circumstances. The assets and liabilities of P&L Receivables are consolidated with Peabody, and the Securitization Program is treated as a secured borrowing for accounting purposes, but the assets of P&L Receivables will be used first to satisfy the creditors of P&L Receivables, not Peabody’s creditors. The borrowings under the Securitization Program remain outstanding throughout the term of the agreement, subject to the Company maintaining sufficient eligible receivables, by continuing to contribute trade receivables to P&L Receivables, unless an event of default occurs. At September 30, 2019 , the Company had no outstanding borrowings and $132.7 million of letters of credit issued under the Securitization Program. The letters of credit were primarily in support of portions of the Company’s obligations for reclamation, workers’ compensation and postretirement benefits. The Company had no collateral requirement under the Securitization Program at September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018 . The Company incurred fees associated with the Securitization Program of $1.0 million and $1.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, and $3.6 million and $5.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, which have been recorded as interest expense in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Collateral Arrangements and Restricted Cash From time to time, the Company is required to remit cash to certain regulatory authorities and other third parties as collateral for financial assurances associated with a variety of long-term obligations and commitments surrounding the mining, reclamation and shipping of its production. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , $363.2 million of such collateral and other restricted cash was returned to the Company, largely as the result of replacing collateral balances with third-party surety bonding in Australia. Other The Company has provided financial guarantees under certain long-term debt agreements entered into by its subsidiaries and substantially all of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries provide financial guarantees under long-term debt agreements entered into by the Company. The maximum amounts payable under the Company’s debt agreements are equal to the respective principal and interest payments.

Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Commitments Unconditional Purchase Obligations As of September 30, 2019 , purchase commitments for capital expenditures were $87.7 million , all of which is obligated within the next three years, with $80.0 million obligated within the next 12 months. There were no other material changes to the Company’s commitments from the information provided in Note 26. “Commitments and Contingencies” to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 . Contingencies From time to time, the Company or its subsidiaries are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business or related to indemnities or historical operations. The Company believes it has recorded adequate reserves for these liabilities. The Company discusses its significant legal proceedings below, including ongoing proceedings and those that impacted the Company’s results of operations for the periods presented. Litigation Relating to Bankruptcy Ad Hoc Committee . A group of creditors (the Ad Hoc Committee) that held certain interests in the Company's prepetition indebtedness appealed the Bankruptcy Court’s order confirming the Company’s plan of reorganization (the Plan). On December 29, 2017, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri (the District Court) entered an order dismissing the Ad Hoc Committee's appeal, and, in the alternative, affirming the order confirming the Plan. On January 26, 2018, the Ad Hoc Committee appealed the District Court's order to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit (the Eighth Circuit). In its appeal, the Ad Hoc Committee asked the Eighth Circuit to award the Ad Hoc Committee members either unspecified damages or the right to buy an unspecified amount of Company stock at a discount. Oral argument on the appeal was held April 16, 2019, and the Eighth Circuit issued a unanimous opinion in Peabody’s favor on August 9, 2019. The Ad Hoc Committee has until November 2019 to seek rehearing or petition the Supreme Court for certiorari. Litigation Relating to Continuing Operations Peabody Monto Coal Pty Ltd, Monto Coal 2 Pty Ltd and Peabody Energy Australia PCI Pty Ltd (PEA-PCI). In October 2007, a claim was made against Peabody Monto Coal Pty Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary, and Monto Coal 2 Pty Ltd, an equity accounted investee of Macarthur Coal Limited (Macarthur), now known as PEA-PCI. The claim, made by the minority interest holders in the joint venture, alleged that the Macarthur companies breached certain agreements by failing to develop a mine project. The claim was amended to assert that Macarthur induced the alleged breach of the Monto Coal Joint Venture Agreement. The Company acquired Macarthur and its subsidiaries in 2011. These claims, which are pending before the Supreme Court of Queensland, Australia, seek damages of up to $1.1 billion Australian dollars, plus interest and costs. The Company asserts that the Macarthur companies were never under an obligation to develop the mine project because the project was not economically viable. The Company disputes all of the claims brought by the plaintiffs and is vigorously defending its position. The litigation itself will not end the joint venture with plaintiffs, and regardless of outcome at the trial court, the Company expects the decision will be appealed. The trial commenced on April 8, 2019 and is currently scheduled to finish by the end of the year. Since 2012, the Company has incurred costs of approximately $48 million Australian dollars defending its position, including approximately $29 million Australian dollars since the beginning of 2018. County of San Mateo, County of Marin, City of Imperial Beach. The Company was named as a defendant, along with numerous other companies, in three nearly identical lawsuits brought by municipalities in California. The lawsuits seek to hold a wide variety of companies that produce fossil fuels liable for the alleged impacts of the greenhouse gas emissions attributable to those fuels. The lawsuits primarily assert that the companies’ products have caused a sea level rise that is damaging the plaintiffs. The complaints specifically alleged that the defendants’ activities from 1965 to 2015 caused such damage. The Company filed a motion to enforce the Plan because it enjoins claims that arose before the effective date of the Plan. The motion to enforce was granted on October 24, 2017, and the Bankruptcy Court ordered the plaintiffs to dismiss their lawsuits against the Company. On November 26, 2017, the plaintiffs appealed the Bankruptcy Court’s October 24, 2017 order to the District Court. On November 28, 2017, the plaintiffs sought a stay pending appeal from the Bankruptcy Court, which was denied on December 8, 2017. On December 19, 2017, the plaintiffs moved the District Court for a stay pending appeal. The District Court denied the stay request on September 20, 2018, and the plaintiffs have appealed that decision to the Eighth Circuit. On March 29, 2019, the District Court affirmed the Bankruptcy Court ruling enjoining the plaintiffs from proceeding with their lawsuits against the Company. That ruling likewise is being appealed. In the underlying cases pending in California, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California granted plaintiffs’ motion for remand and decided the cases should be heard in state court. The defendants appealed the order granting remand to the Ninth Circuit and sought a stay of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California decision pending completion of the Ninth Circuit appeal. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California granted defendants’ request for a stay pending completion of the Ninth Circuit appeal. The plaintiffs filed a motion to dismiss part of the appeal. The parties are now litigating at the Ninth Circuit whether a state or federal court should hear these lawsuits. Regardless of whether state court or federal court is the venue, the Company believes the lawsuits against it should be dismissed under enforcement of the Plan. The Company does not believe the lawsuits are meritorious and, if the lawsuits are not dismissed, the Company intends to vigorously defend them. 10th Circuit U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Appeal. On September 15, 2017, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the District Court of Wyoming’s decision upholding BLM’s approval of four coal leases in the Powder River Basin. Two of the four leases relate to the Company’s North Antelope Rochelle Mine in Wyoming. There is no immediate impact on the Company’s leases as the Court of Appeals did not vacate the leases as part of its ruling. Rather, the Court of Appeals remanded the case back to the District Court of Wyoming with directions to order BLM to revise its environmental analysis. On November 27, 2017, the District Court of Wyoming ordered BLM to revise its environmental analysis. BLM published its draft environmental analysis on July 30, 2018. The Company, along with the National Mining Association, the Wyoming Mining Association and Arch, submitted comments on the draft environmental analysis by the comment deadline of October 4, 2018. BLM completed its final environmental analysis, prepared a finding of no significant impact and re-affirmed its decision to issue the leases. The original plaintiffs have indicated their intention to challenge the BLM’s revised environmental analysis, as well, but in October 2019, those plaintiffs asked the District Court of Wyoming to dismiss the current case. The Company’s operations will continue in the normal course during this period since the decision has no impact on mining at this time; which the plaintiffs may choose to challenge the new BLM environmental analysis through new litigation. The Company currently believes that its operations are unlikely to be materially impacted by this case, but the timing and magnitude of any impact on the Company’s future operations is not certain. Other At times the Company becomes a party to other disputes, including those related to contract miner performance, claims, lawsuits, arbitration proceedings, regulatory investigations and administrative procedures in the ordinary course of business in the U.S., Australia and other countries where the Company does business. Based on current information, the Company believes that such other pending or threatened proceedings are likely to be resolved without a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Segment Information The Company reports its results of operations through the following reportable segments: Seaborne Thermal Mining, Seaborne Metallurgical Mining, Powder River Basin Mining, Midwestern U.S. Mining, Western U.S. Mining and Corporate and Other. The Company’s chief operating decision maker uses Adjusted EBITDA as the primary metric to measure the segments’ operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as (loss) income from continuing operations before deducting net interest expense, income taxes, asset retirement obligation expenses, depreciation, depletion and amortization and reorganization items, net. Adjusted EBITDA is also adjusted for the discrete items that management excluded in analyzing the segments’ operating performance, as displayed in the reconciliation below. Management believes non-GAAP performance measures are used by investors to measure the Company’s operating performance and lenders to measure the Company’s ability to incur and service debt. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to serve as an alternative to U.S. GAAP measures of performance and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies. Reportable segment results were as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 (Dollars in millions) Revenues: Seaborne Thermal Mining $ 249.5 $ 305.1 $ 720.7 $ 773.9 Seaborne Metallurgical Mining 216.3 370.3 831.7 1,254.0 Powder River Basin Mining 333.6 373.7 903.5 1,084.5 Midwestern U.S. Mining 176.0 208.5 522.6 607.7 Western U.S. Mining 150.4 156.1 448.2 439.4 Corporate and Other (19.4 ) (1.1 ) 79.3 25.2 Total $ 1,106.4 $ 1,412.6 $ 3,506.0 $ 4,184.7 Adjusted EBITDA: Seaborne Thermal Mining $ 76.8 $ 145.3 $ 245.9 $ 314.5 Seaborne Metallurgical Mining (16.2 ) 90.7 127.0 415.6 Powder River Basin Mining 70.7 88.2 147.3 224.7 Midwestern U.S. Mining 36.0 38.7 100.0 111.9 Western U.S. Mining 46.3 28.5 141.3 94.4 Corporate and Other (1) (63.3 ) (19.3 ) (129.3 ) (55.5 ) Total $ 150.3 $ 372.1 $ 632.2 $ 1,105.6 (1) As described in Note 16. “Other Events,” included in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 is the gain of $20.5 million recognized on the sale of surplus coal resources associated with the Millennium Mine.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Corporate Hedging - Coal Trading [Policy Text Block]	The Company’s risk management function, which is independent of the Company’s coal trading function, is responsible for valuation policies and procedures, with oversight from executive management. Generally, the Company’s Level 3 instruments or contracts are valued using bid/ask price quotations and other market assessments obtained from multiple, independent third-party brokers or other transactional data incorporated into internally-generated discounted cash flow models. Decreases in the number of third-party brokers or market liquidity could erode the quality of market information and therefore the valuation of the Company’s market positions. The Company’s valuation techniques include basis adjustments to the foregoing price inputs for quality, such as sulfur and ash content, location differentials, expressed as port and freight costs, and credit risk. The Company’s risk management function independently validates the Company’s valuation inputs, including unobservable inputs, with third-party information and settlement prices from other sources where available. A daily process is performed to analyze market price changes and changes to the portfolio. Further periodic validation occurs at the time contracts are settled with the counterparty. These valuation techniques have been consistently applied in all periods presented, and the Company believes it has obtained the most accurate information available for the types of derivative contracts held.

Leases [Abstract]
Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block]	The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. For the purpose of calculating such present values, lease payments include components that vary based upon an index or rate, using the prevailing index or rate at the commencement date, and exclude components that vary based upon other factors. As most of its leases do not contain a readily determinable implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at commencement to determine the present value of lease payments. The Company's leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease, and such options are reflected in the term when their exercise is reasonably certain. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For certain equipment leases, the Company applies a portfolio approach to effectively account for the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities.
