Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Peabody Energy Corporation (PEC) and its affiliates. The Company, or Peabody, are used interchangeably to refer to Peabody Energy Corporation, to Peabody Energy Corporation and its subsidiaries, or to such subsidiaries, as appropriate to the context. 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 an unincorporated 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 consolidated financial statements. All intercompany transactions, profits and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Description of Business The Company is engaged in the mining of thermal coal for sale primarily to electric utilities and metallurgical coal for sale to industrial customers. The Company’s mining operations are located in the United States (U.S.) and Australia, including an equity-affiliate mining operation in Australia. The Company also markets and brokers coal from other coal producers and trades coal and freight-related contracts. The Company’s other commercial activities include managing its coal reserves and resources and real estate holdings and supporting the development of clean coal technologies. Newly Adopted Accounting Standards Equity Method Investments. In January 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-01, which clarifies the interactions between Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 321, ASC 323 and ASC 815. The new guidance addresses accounting for the transition into and out of the equity method and measuring certain purchased options and forward contracts to acquire investments. ASU 2020-01 is effective on January 1, 2021 for calendar year-end public companies. The Company adopted the requirements effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures. Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented Reference Rate Reform. In March 2020, ASU 2020-04 was issued, which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden on accounting for contract modifications caused by reference rate reform (including reform of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or other reference rate reform). This guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The guidance may be adopted over time as reference rate reform activities occur and should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is still completing its evaluation of the impact of the guidance and plans to elect optional expedients as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures. Leases. In November 2021, ASU 2021-09 was issued, which allows lessees to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset, rather than on an entity-wide basis, to use a risk-free rate as the discount rate when measuring and classifying leases. The Company is required to apply the amendments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and for interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures. Government Assistance. In November 2021, ASU 2021-10 was issued, which aims to provide increased transparency by requiring business entities to disclose information about certain types of government assistance they receive in the notes to the financial statements. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early application permitted. The Company does not plan to early adopt the guidance in ASU 2021-10 and the Company does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its disclosures. Revenues The majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from the sale of coal under long-term coal supply agreements (those with initial terms of one year or longer and which often include price reopener and/or extension provisions) and contracts with terms of less than one year, including sales made on a spot basis. The Company’s revenue from coal sales is realized and earned when control passes to the customer. Under the typical terms of the Company’s coal supply agreements, title and risk of loss transfer to the customer at the mine or port, where coal is loaded to the transportation sources that serve the Company’s mines. The Company incurs certain “add-on” taxes and fees on coal sales. Reported coal sales include taxes and fees charged by various federal and state governmental bodies and the freight charged on destination customer contracts. The Company’s seaborne operating platform is primarily export focused with customers spread across several countries, with a portion of the thermal and metallurgical coal sold within Australia. Generally, revenues from individual countries vary year by year based on electricity and steel demand, the strength of the global economy, governmental policies and several other factors, including those specific to each country. A majority of these sales are executed through annual and multi-year international coal supply agreements that contain provisions requiring both parties to renegotiate pricing periodically. Industry commercial practice, and the Company’s typical practice, is to negotiate pricing for seaborne thermal coal contracts on an annual, spot or index basis and seaborne metallurgical coal contracts on a bi-annual, quarterly, spot or index basis. The portion of sales volume under contracts with a duration of less than one year has increased in recent years. In the case of periodically negotiated pricing, the Company may deliver coal under provisional pricing until a final agreed-upon price is determined. Variable consideration resulting from provisional pricing arrangements is recognized based on the Company’s best estimate of the amount expected to be received at the time control is transferred to the customer. The Company’s U.S. thermal operating platform primarily sells thermal coal to electric utilities in the U.S. under long-term contracts, with a portion sold into the seaborne markets as conditions warrant. A significant portion of the coal production from the U.S. thermal mining segments is sold under existing long-term supply agreements. Certain customers of those segments utilize long-term sales agreements in recognition of the importance of reliability, service and predictable coal prices to their operations. The terms of coal supply agreements result from competitive bidding and extensive negotiations with customers. Consequently, the terms of those agreements may vary in many respects, including price adjustment features, price reopener terms, coal quality requirements, quantity parameters, permitted sources of supply, treatment of environmental constraints, extension options, force majeure and termination and assignment provisions. Contract pricing is set forth on a per ton basis, and revenue is generally recorded as the product of price and volume delivered. Many of the Company’s coal supply agreements contain provisions that permit the parties to adjust the contract price upward or downward at specified times. These contract prices may be adjusted based on inflation or deflation and/or changes in the factors affecting the cost of producing coal, such as taxes, fees, royalties and changes in the laws regulating the mining, production, sale or use of coal. In a limited number of contracts, failure of the parties to agree on a price under those provisions may allow either party to terminate the contract. The Company sometimes experiences a reduction in coal prices in new long-term coal supply agreements replacing some of its expiring contracts. Coal supply agreements also typically contain force majeure provisions allowing temporary suspension of performance by the Company or the customer during the duration of specified events beyond the control of the affected party. Most of the coal supply agreements contain provisions requiring the Company to deliver coal meeting quality thresholds for certain characteristics such as Btu, sulfur content, ash content, grindability and ash fusion temperature. Failure to meet these specifications could result in economic penalties, including price adjustments, the rejection of deliveries or termination of the contracts. Moreover, some of these agreements allow the Company’s customers to terminate their contracts in the event of changes in regulations affecting the industry that restrict the use or type of coal permissible at the customer’s plant or increase the price of coal beyond specified limits. Additional revenues may include gains and losses related to mark-to-market adjustments from economic hedge activities intended to hedge future coal sales, revenues from customer contract-related payments and other insignificant items including royalties related to coal lease agreements, sales agency commissions, farm income and property and facility rentals. Royalty income generally results from the lease or sublease of mineral rights to third parties, with payments based upon a percentage of the selling price or an amount per ton of coal produced. Discontinued Operations The Company classifies items within discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements when the operations and cash flows of a particular component of the Company have been (or will be) eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company as a result of a disposal (by sale or otherwise) and represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results. Refer to Note 4. “Discontinued Operations” for additional details related to discontinued operations. Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale The Company classifies assets and liabilities (disposal groups) to be sold as held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met: management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the disposal group; the disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such disposal groups; an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the disposal group have been initiated; the sale of the disposal group is probable, and transfer of the disposal group is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year, except if events or circumstances beyond the Company's control extend the period of time required to sell the disposal group beyond one year; the disposal group is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. The Company initially measures a disposal group that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met. Conversely, gains are not recognized on the sale of a disposal group until the date of sale. The Company assesses the fair value of a disposal group, less any costs to sell, each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale and reports any subsequent changes as an adjustment to the carrying value of the disposal group, as long as the new carrying value does not exceed the carrying value of the disposal group at the time it was initially classified as held for sale. Upon determining that a disposal group meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, the Company reports the assets and liabilities of the disposal group, if material, in the line items assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Accounts Receivable The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in accounts receivable from customers. Customers are invoiced as coal is shipped or at periodic intervals in accordance with contractual terms. Invoices typically include customary adjustments for the resolution of price variability related to prior shipments, such as coal quality thresholds. Payments are generally received within thirty days of invoicing. Inventories Coal is reported as inventory at the point in time the coal is extracted from the mine. Raw coal represents coal stockpiles that may be sold in current condition or may be further processed prior to shipment to a customer. Saleable coal represents coal stockpiles which require no further processing prior to shipment to a customer. Coal inventory is valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. Coal inventory costs include labor, supplies, equipment (including depreciation thereto) and operating overhead and other related costs incurred at or on behalf of the mining location. Net realizable value considers the projected future sales price of the particular coal product, less applicable selling costs and, in the case of raw coal, estimated remaining processing costs. The valuation of coal inventory is subject to several additional estimates, including those related to ground and aerial surveys used to measure quantities and processing recovery rates. Materials and supplies inventory is valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value, less a reserve for obsolete or surplus items. This reserve incorporates several factors, such as anticipated usage, inventory turnover and inventory levels. Property, Plant, Equipment and Mine Development Property, plant, equipment and mine development are recorded at cost. Interest costs applicable to major asset additions are capitalized during the construction period. There was no capitalized interest in any of the periods presented. Expenditures which extend the useful lives of existing plant and equipment assets are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating costs as incurred. Costs incurred to develop coal mines or to expand the capacity of operating mines are capitalized. Maintenance and repair costs incurred to maintain current production capacity at a mine are charged to operating costs as incurred. Costs to acquire computer hardware and the development and/or purchase of software for internal use are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful lives. Coal reserves and resources are recorded at cost, or at fair value in the case of nonmonetary exchanges of reserves and resources or business acquisitions. Depletion of coal reserves and resources and amortization of advance royalties are computed using the units-of-production method utilizing expected recoverable tons (as adjusted for recoverability factors) in the depletion base. Mine development costs are principally amortized over the estimated lives of the mines using the straight-line method. Depreciation of plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the asset’s estimated useful life or the life of the mine. The estimated useful lives by category of assets are as follows: Years Building and improvements up to 29 Machinery and equipment 1 - 15 Leasehold improvements Shorter of Useful Life or Remaining Life of Lease The Company leases coal reserves under agreements that require royalties to be paid as the coal is mined. Certain agreements also require minimum annual royalties to be paid regardless of the amount of coal mined during the year. Total royalty expense was $263.0 million, $214.7 million and $388.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. A substantial amount of the coal mined by the Company is produced from mineral reserves leased from the owner. One of the major lessors is the U.S. government, from which the Company leases substantially all of the coal it mines in Wyoming under terms set by Congress and administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. These leases are generally for an initial term of ten years but may be extended by diligent development and mining of the reserves until all economically recoverable reserves are depleted. The Company has met the diligent development requirements for substantially all of these federal leases either directly through production, by including the lease as a part of a logical mining unit with other leases upon which development has occurred or by paying an advance royalty in lieu of continued operations. Annual production on these federal leases must total at least 1.0% of the leased reserve or the original amount of coal in the entire logical mining unit in which the leased reserve resides. In addition, royalties are payable monthly at a rate of 12.5% of the gross realization from the sale of the coal mined using surface mining methods and at a rate of 8.0% of the gross realization for coal produced using underground mining methods. The remainder of the leased coal is generally leased from state governments, land holding companies and various individuals. The duration of these leases varies greatly. Typically, the lease terms are automatically extended as long as active mining continues. Royalty payments are generally based upon a specified rate per ton or a percentage of the gross realization from the sale of the coal. Mining and exploration in Australia is generally conducted under leases, licenses or permits granted by the relevant state government. Mining and exploration licenses and their associated environmental protection approvals (granted by the state government, and in some cases also the federal government) contain conditions relating to such matters as minimum annual expenditures, environmental compliance, protection of flora and fauna, restoration and rehabilitation. Royalties are paid to the state government as a percentage of the sales price (less certain allowable deductions in some cases). Generally, landowners do not own the mineral rights or have the ability to grant rights to mine those minerals. These rights are retained by the state government. Compensation is often payable to landowners, occupiers and Aboriginal traditional owners with residual native title rights and interests for the loss of access to the land from the proposed mining activities. The amount and type of compensation and the ability to proceed to grant of a mining tenement may be determined by agreement or court determination, as provided by law. Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use (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 does not separate lease components (i.e., fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes and insurance costs) from non-lease components (i.e., common-area maintenance) and recognizes them as a single lease component for the majority of asset classes. Variable lease payments not included within lease contracts are expensed as incurred. 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. Equity Investments The Company applies the equity method to investments in joint ventures when it has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the joint venture. Investments accounted for under the equity method are initially recorded at cost and any difference between the cost of the Company’s investment and the underlying equity in the net assets of the joint venture at the investment date is amortized over the lives of the related assets that gave rise to the difference. The Company’s pro-rata share of the operating results of joint ventures and basis difference amortization is reported in the consolidated statements of operations in “(Income) loss from equity affiliates.” Similarly, the Company’s pro-rata share of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment of its equity method investments whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar is reported in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income,” with periodic changes thereto reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company monitors its equity method investments for indicators that a decrease in investment value has occurred that is other than temporary. Examples of such indicators include a sustained history of operating losses and adverse changes in earnings and cash flow outlook. In the absence of quoted market prices for an investment, discounted cash flow projections are used to assess fair value, the underlying assumptions to which are generally considered unobservable Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. If the fair value of an investment is determined to be below its carrying value and that loss in fair value is deemed other than temporary, an impairment loss is recognized. No such impairment losses were recorded in any period presented. For the remaining investments, the Company will adjust the carrying value of its investments to fair value based on observable market transactions. The Company also monitors such investments for indicators of impairment should no observable market transactions exist. Refer to Note 3. “Asset Impairment” for details regarding an impairment loss of $9.0 million recorded during the year ended December 31, 2019 related to an investment in an equity security. No such impairment losses were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2021 or 2020. Asset Retirement Obligations The Company’s asset retirement obligation (ARO) liabilities primarily consist of spending estimates for surface land reclamation and support facilities at both surface and underground mines in accordance with applicable reclamation laws and regulations in the U.S. and Australia as defined by each mining permit. The Company estimates its ARO liabilities for final reclamation and mine closure based upon detailed engineering calculations of the amount and timing of the future cash spending for a third party to perform the required work. Spending estimates are escalated for inflation and then discounted at the credit-adjusted, risk-free rate. The Company records an ARO asset associated with the discounted liability for final reclamation and mine closure. The obligation and corresponding asset are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. The ARO asset is amortized on the units-of-production method over its expected life and the ARO liability is accreted to the projected spending date. As changes in estimates occur (such as mine plan revisions, changes in estimated costs or changes in timing of the performance of reclamation activities), the revisions to the obligation and asset are recognized at the appropriate credit-adjusted, risk-free rate. The Company also recognizes an obligation for contemporaneous reclamation liabilities incurred as a result of surface mining. Contemporaneous reclamation consists primarily of grading, topsoil replacement and re-vegetation of backfilled pit areas. Contingent Liabilities From time to time, the Company is subject to legal and environmental matters related to its continuing and discontinued operations and certain historical, non-coal producing operations. In connection with such matters, the Company is required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes, as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of reserves required for these matters is made after considerable analysis of each individual issue. The Company accrues for legal and environmental matters within “Operating costs and expenses” when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company provides disclosure surrounding loss contingencies when it believes that it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss may be incurred or an exposure to loss in excess of amounts already accrued may exist. Adjustments to contingent liabilities are made when additional information becomes available that affects the amount of estimated loss, which information may include changes in facts and circumstances, changes in interpretations of law in the relevant courts, the results of new or updated environmental remediation cost studies and the ongoing consideration of trends in environmental remediation costs. Accrued contingent liabilities exclude claims against third parties and are not discounted. The current portion of these accruals is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” and the long-term portion is included in “Other noncurrent liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets. In general, legal fees related to environmental remediation and litigation are charged to expense. The Company includes the interest component of any litigation-related penalties within “Interest expense” in the consolidated statements of operations. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for using a balance sheet approach. The Company accounts for deferred income taxes by applying statutory tax rates in effect at the reporting date of the balance sheet to differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established if it is “more likely than not” that the related tax benefits will not be realized. Significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified including history of tax attribute expiration and cumulative income or loss. In determining the appropriate valuation allowance, the Company considers the projected realization of tax benefits based on expected levels of future taxable income, available tax planning strategies, reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and taxable income in carryback years. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is “more likely than not” the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. To the extent the Company’s assessment of such tax positions changes, the change in estimate will be recorded in the period in which the determination is made. Tax-related interest and penalties are classified as a component of income tax expense. Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefits The Company accounts for postretirement benefits other than pensions by accruing the costs of benefits to be provided over the employees’ period of active service. These costs are determined on an actuarial basis. The Company’s consolidated balance sheets reflect the accumulated postretirement benefit obligations of its postretirement benefit plans. The Company accounts for changes in its postretirement benefit obligations as a settlement when an irrevocable action has been effected that relieves the Company of its actuarially-determined liability to individual plan participants and removes substantial risk surrounding the nature, amount and timing of the obligation’s funding and the assets used to effect the settlement. The Company records amounts attributable to actuarial valuation changes currently in earnings rather than recording such amounts within accumulated other comprehensive income and amortizing to expense over applicable time periods. See Note 14. “Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefits” for information related to postretirement benefits. Pension Plans The Company sponsors non-contributory defined benefit pension plans accounted for by accruing the cost to provide the benefits over the employees’ period of active service. These costs are determined on an actuarial basis. The Company’s consolidated balance sheets reflect the funded status of the defined benefit pension plans. The Company records amounts attributable to actuarial valuation changes currently in earnings rather than recording such amounts within accumulated other comprehensive income and amortizing to expense over applicable time periods. See Note 15. “Pension and Savings Plans” for information related to pension plans. Restructuring Activities From time to time, the Company initiates restructuring activities in connection with its repositioning efforts to appropriately align its cost structure or optimize its coal production relative to prevailing market conditions. Costs associated with restructuring actions can include early mine closures, voluntary and involuntary workforce reductions, office closures and other related activities. Costs associated with restructuring activities are recognized in the period incurred. Included as a component of “Restructuring charges” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were aggregate restructuring charges of $8.3 million, $37.9 million and $24.3 million, respectively, primarily associated with voluntary and involuntary workforce reductions. As of December 31, 2021, a $0.9 million accrual for restructuring charges remained in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses,” which is expected to be paid in the first quarter of 2022. Derivatives The Company recognizes at fair value all contracts meeting the definition of a derivative as assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, with the exception of certain sales contracts for which the Company has elected to apply a normal purchases and normal sales exception. With respect to derivatives used in hedging activities, the Company assesses at hedge inception whether such derivatives are highly effective at offsetting the changes in the anticipated exposure of the hedged item. The change in the fair value of derivatives designated as a cash flow hedge is recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” in the consolidated balance sheets until the hedged transaction impacts reported earnings, at which time any gain or loss is reclassified to earnings. If the hedge ceases to qualify for hedge accounting, the Company prospectively recognizes changes in the fair value of the instrument in earnings in the period of the change. Gains or losses from derivative financial instruments designated as fair value hedges are recognized immediately in earnings, along with the offsetting gain or loss related to the underlying hedged item. The Company’s asset and liability derivative positions are offset on a counterparty-by-counterparty basis if the contractual agreement provides for the net settlement of contracts with the counterparty in the event of default or termination of any one contract. Non-derivative contracts and derivative contracts for which the Company has elected to apply the normal purchases and normal sales exception are accounted for on an accrual basis. Business Combinations The Company accounts for business combinations using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase method requires t |

Refer to Note 7. “Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements” for additional information. Also included in Corporate and Other revenue are revenues with customers of $139.5 million, $(28.9) million and $(17.6) million during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. (2) Other includes revenues from arrangements such as customer contract-related payments associated with volume shortfalls, royalties related to coal lease agreements, sales agency commissions, farm income and property and facility rentals. The Company recorded revenue related to delivered coal to customers of approximately $3,442 million, $2,835 million and $4,477 million during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Such amounts exclude unrealized and realized gains and losses on derivative contracts related to forecasted sales and certain other revenues unrelated to delivered coal. Committed Revenue from Contracts with Customers The Company expects to recognize revenue subsequent to December 31, 2021 of approximately $5.3 billion related to contracts with customers in which volumes and prices per ton were fixed or reasonably estimable at December 31, 2021. 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 December 31, 2021 and 2020 consisted of the following: December 31, 2021 2020 (Dollars in millions) Trade receivables, net $ 307.0 $ 180.9 Miscellaneous receivables, net 43.5 63.9 Accounts receivable, net $ 350.5 $ 244.8 None of the above receivables included allowances for credit losses at December 31, 2021 or 2020. No charges for credit losses were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Included in “Operating costs and expenses” in the consolidated statements of operations were reductions of previously recorded credit losses of $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. |

Asset Impairment Charges [Abstract] | |
Asset Impairment | Asset Impairment The Company recognized no asset impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized impairment charges of $1,418.1 million related to its North Antelope Rochelle Mine of the Powder River Basin Mining segment. Of this amount, $1,393.7 million related to the property, plant, equipment and mine development assets; $19.9 million related to operating lease right-of-use assets; and $4.5 million related to contract-based intangible assets. The outlook for the North Antelope Rochelle Mine was negatively impacted by the accelerated decline of coal-fired electricity generation in the U.S., driven by the reduced utilization of plants and plant retirements, sustained low natural gas pricing and the increased use of renewable energy sources. These factors led to the expectation of reduced future sales volumes. The impairment charge was based upon the remaining estimated discounted cash flows of the mine. Such cash flows were based upon estimates which generally constitute unobservable Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy, including, but not limited to, future tons sold, coal prices for unpriced coal, production costs (including costs for labor, commodity supplies and contractors), transportation costs and a risk-adjusted cost of capital. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company also recognized impairment charges of $69.3 million related to certain unassigned coal reserves and resources in the Midwest due to their low probability of development. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized impairment charges of $192.0 million related to the El Segundo/Lee Ranch and Wildcat Hills Underground Mines of the Other U.S. Thermal Mining segment based upon the expectation of reduced sales volumes and uncertainty over remaining economic mine lives. The related impairment charges were based upon the remaining probability-weighted discounted cash flows of those mines. The Company also recognized impairment charges of $69.2 million related to certain unassigned coal reserves and resources in the Midwest and Colorado due to their low probability of development and $9.0 million related to the fair value of an investment in equity securities during the year ended December 31, 2019. In addition to the impairment charges described above, the Company also recorded provisions related to its North Goonyella Mine during the year ended December 31, 2019, as further described in Note 19. “Other Events.” The Company has identified certain assets with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $0.5 billion at December 31, 2021 in its Other U.S. Thermal Mining and Corporate and Other segments whose recoverability is most sensitive to coal pricing, cost pressures, customer demand, customer concentration risk and future economic viability. The Company conducted a review of those assets as of December 31, 2021 and determined that no further impairment charges were necessary as of that date. |

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] | |
Discontinued Operations | Discontinued Operations Discontinued operations include certain former Seaborne Thermal Mining and Other U.S. Thermal 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). In the third quarter of 2021, the Company executed the sale of the closed Wilkie Creek Mine, which reduced its closed mine reclamation liabilities and associated costs. Refer to Note 19. “Other Events” for additional information associated with the Company’s sale of the Wilkie Creek Mine. Summarized Results of Discontinued Operations Results from discontinued operations were as follows during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 (Dollars in millions) Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes $ 24.0 $ (14.0) $ 3.2 There were no significant revenues from discontinued operations during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. Liabilities of Discontinued Operations Liabilities classified as discontinued operations included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets were as follows: December 31, 2021 2020 (Dollars in millions) Liabilities: Accounts payable and accrued expenses $ 45.0 $ 62.3 Other noncurrent liabilities 59.0 91.4 Total liabilities classified as discontinued operations $ 104.0 $ 153.7 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 U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and subsequently initiated a process to sell substantially 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 amount of 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 $87.2 million and $90.1 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In connection with the actuarial valuation, the Company recorded mark-to-market adjustments of $2.1 million to decrease the liability during the year ended December 31, 2021, $4.2 million to increase the liability during the year ended December 31, 2020 and $18.3 million to decrease the liability during the year ended December 31, 2019. 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. |

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract] | |
Equity Method Investments | Equity Method Investments Equity Method Investments The Company’s equity method investments include its joint venture interest in Middlemount and certain other equity method investments. The table below summarizes the book value of those investments and related financing receivables, which are reported in “Investments and other assets” in the consolidated balance sheets, and the related “(Income) loss from equity affiliates”: Book Value at (Income) Loss from Equity Affiliates December 31, Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2021 2020 2019 (Dollars in millions) Equity method investment and financing receivables related to Middlemount $ 62.2 $ 24.6 $ (82.1) $ 60.1 $ (9.0) Other equity method investments — — — — 5.6 Total equity method investments and financing receivables related to Middlemount $ 62.2 $ 24.6 $ (82.1) $ 60.1 $ (3.4) The Company received cash payments from Middlemount of $43.5 million and $14.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2019, respectively. No payments were received from Middlemount during the year ended December 31, 2020. 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. 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 10% per annum and expire on December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2021, the revolving loan limit was $50 million Australian dollars, and Middlemount had not drawn upon the Revolving Loans. The value of the portion of the Revolving Loans due to the Company’s Australian subsidiary, which is included in the total investment balance, was $46.2 million as of December 31, 2020, with the decrease during the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily attributable to payments made by Middlemount. As of both December 31, 2021 and 2020, the financing receivables and Revolving Loans are accounted for as in-substance common stock due to the limited fair value attributed to Middlemount’s equity. During the year ended December 31, 2019, Middlemount received notification that the Australian Taxation Office would no longer pursue an uncertain tax position related to an earlier income tax audit. The related tax reserve was released, resulting in approximately $17 million of income. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company established a valuation allowance on Middlemount’s net deferred tax position of approximately $33 million primarily based upon recent cumulative losses. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company determined that the valuation allowance was no longer necessary based on recent cumulative earnings and expectation of future earnings. The determination resulted in approximately $33 million of income related to the release of the previously established valuation allowance. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Middlemount entered into an insurance claim settlement agreement attributable to a business interruption and property damage claim from 2019, which resulted in $12.5 million of income for the Company (on a 50% basis). During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, Middlemount generated revenues of approximately $265 million, $123 million and $160 million (on a 50% basis). |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Derivatives and Fair Value | Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements Derivatives 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. On a limited basis, the Company engages in the direct and brokered trading of coal and freight-related contracts. 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. The Company had no diesel fuel or interest rate derivatives in place as of December 31, 2021. Foreign Currency Option Contracts As of December 31, 2021, the Company had currency options outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of $535.0 million Australian dollars to hedge currency risk associated with anticipated Australian dollar expenditures over the nine-month period ending September 30, 2022. The instruments are quarterly average rate options which entitle the Company to receive payment on the notional amount should the quarterly average Australian dollar-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate exceed amounts ranging from $0.76 to $0.80 over the nine-month period ending September 30, 2022. Derivative Contracts Related to Forecasted Sales As of December 31, 2021, the Company held coal derivative contracts related to a portion of its forecasted sales with an aggregate notional volume of 2.5 million tonnes. Such financial contracts may include futures, forwards and options. Included in this total are 2.1 million tonnes related to financial derivatives entered to support the profitability of the Wambo Underground Mine as part of a strategy to extend the mine life through mid-2023. Of this total, 1.4 million tonnes will settle in 2022 and 0.7 million tonnes will settle in 2023 at expected average pricing of approximately $84 per tonne (Newcastle index). The remaining 0.4 million tonnes aggregate notional volume related to other coal financial contracts will settle in 2022. Additionally, the Company classifies certain physical forward sales contracts as derivatives for which the normal purchase, normal sales exception does not apply. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded an unrealized mark-to-market loss of $115.1 million on these coal derivative contracts, which includes approximately $86 million of unrealized mark-to-market losses on financial derivatives and approximately $29 million on physical forward sales contracts. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded an unrealized mark-to-market loss of $29.6 million, which included approximately $28 million of unrealized mark-to-market losses on financial derivatives and approximately $1 million on physical forward sales contracts. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded an unrealized mark-to-market gain of $42.2 million, which included approximately $42 million of unrealized mark-to-market gains on financial derivatives. Financial Trading Contracts On a limited basis, the Company may enter coal or freight derivative contracts for trading purposes. Such financial contracts may include futures, forwards and options. The Company held nominal financial trading contracts as of December 31, 2021. Tabular Derivatives Disclosures 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 consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of derivatives reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are set forth in the table below. December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 (1) Asset Derivative Liability Derivative Asset Derivative Liability Derivative (Dollars in millions) Foreign currency option contracts $ 1.4 $ — $ 10.3 $ — Derivative contracts related to forecasted sales 59.5 (184.2) 16.7 (24.7) Financial trading contracts 3.4 — 0.4 — Total derivatives 64.3 (184.2) 27.4 (24.7) Effect of counterparty netting (59.5) 59.5 (16.2) 16.2 Variation margin (received) posted (3.4) 95.2 (0.3) 6.8 Net derivatives and variation margin as classified in the balance sheets $ 1.4 $ (29.5) $ 10.9 $ (1.7) (1) Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2021 presentation. The reclassifications do not impact the prior year presentation of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company generally posts or receives variation margin cash with its clearing broker on the majority of its financial derivatives as market values of the financial derivatives fluctuate. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had posted $130.1 million aggregate margin cash, consisting of $91.8 million variation margin cash and $38.3 million initial margin. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had posted $9.5 million aggregate margin cash, consisting of $6.5 million variation margin cash and $3.0 million initial margin. The net amount of asset derivatives, net of variation margin, is included in “Other current assets” and the net amount of liability derivatives, net of variation margin, is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The amounts of initial margin are not included with the derivatives presented in the tabular disclosures above and are included in “Other current assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Currently, the Company does not seek cash flow hedge accounting treatment for its 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 and their classification within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The Company classifies the cash effects of its derivatives within the “Cash Flows From Operating Activities” section of the 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 (liability) asset positions for which fair value is measured on a recurring basis. As noted below, variation margin cash associated with the derivative balances is excluded from this table. December 31, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (Dollars in millions) Foreign currency option contracts $ — $ 1.4 $ — $ 1.4 Derivative contracts related to forecasted sales — (124.7) — (124.7) Financial trading contracts — 3.4 — 3.4 Equity securities — — 4.0 4.0 Total net (liabilities) assets $ — $ (119.9) $ 4.0 $ (115.9) December 31, 2020 (1) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (Dollars in millions) Foreign currency option contracts $ — $ 10.3 $ — $ 10.3 Derivative contracts related to forecasted sales — (7.9) — (7.9) Financial trading contracts — 0.4 — 0.4 Equity securities — — 4.0 4.0 Total net assets $ — $ 2.8 $ 4.0 $ 6.8 (1) December 31, 2020 ‘total net assets’ has been revised to exclude $6.5 million variation margin cash for comparability to 2021 presentation. Variation margin cash was $91.8 million as of December 31, 2021. 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 are 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. • Derivative contracts related to forecasted sales and financial trading contracts are 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 December 31, 2021 and 2020: • Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, including those within the Company’s accounts receivable securitization program, margining cash, 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 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 and estimates based on interest rates, maturities, credit risk, underlying collateral and completed market transactions. December 31, 2021 2020 (Dollars in millions) Total debt at par value $ 1,173.2 $ 1,591.3 Less: Unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount (35.4) (43.5) Net carrying amount $ 1,137.8 $ 1,547.8 Estimated fair value $ 1,136.5 $ 987.6 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. 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 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 following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s recurring Level 3 net financial assets: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 (Dollars in millions) Beginning of period $ 4.0 $ 4.0 $ 10.0 Included in earnings — — (9.0) Purchases — — 3.0 End of period $ 4.0 $ 4.0 $ 4.0 The Company had no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during any of the periods presented in the table above. The Company’s policy is to value all transfers between levels using the beginning of period valuation. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | Income Taxes Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes for the periods presented below consisted of the following: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 (Dollars in millions) U.S. $ (55.0) $ (1,771.5) $ (374.2) Non-U.S. 425.2 (80.3) 231.9 Total $ 370.2 $ (1,851.8) $ (142.3) Total income tax provision for the periods presented below consisted of the following: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 (Dollars in millions) Current: U.S. federal $ (0.5) $ (23.9) $ (21.5) Non-U.S. 30.8 2.4 28.4 State — 1.7 (0.3) Total current 30.3 (19.8) 6.6 Deferred: U.S. federal — 23.4 20.3 Non-U.S. (7.5) 4.4 19.3 State — — (0.2) Total deferred (7.5) 27.8 39.4 Total income tax provision $ 22.8 $ 8.0 $ 46.0 The following is a reconciliation of the expected statutory federal income tax expense (benefit) to the Company’s income tax provision for the periods presented below: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 (Dollars in millions) Expected income tax expense (benefit) at U.S. federal statutory rate $ 77.7 $ (388.9) $ (29.9) Changes in valuation allowance, income tax (101.3) 410.1 (32.0) Changes in tax reserves 1.9 (7.7) 3.0 Excess depletion (13.7) (14.5) (19.3) Foreign earnings repatriation — — 76.1 Foreign earnings provision differential 17.3 16.4 45.6 Global intangible low-taxed income 67.0 — 6.1 Tax credits (26.5) — — Remeasurement of foreign income tax accounts (1.8) 2.9 (0.1) State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit (1.1) (6.8) (13.2) Other, net 3.3 (3.5) 9.7 Total income tax provision $ 22.8 $ 8.0 $ 46.0 Certain reconciliation items included in the above table exclude the remeasurement of foreign income tax accounts as these foreign currency effects are separately presented. The Company recognizes the tax on global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) as a period expense and recorded a provision of $67.0 million and $6.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2019, respectively, which was fully offset by the release of valuation allowance associated with the net operating losses (NOLs) that absorbed the GILTI inclusion. The Company did not record a provision for the year ended December 31, 2020 due to tested foreign losses. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act was signed into law and contained numerous tax provisions including the acceleration of refunds of previously generated alternative minimum tax (AMT) credits. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company received AMT credit refunds of $1.2 million and $46.9 million, respectively. The Company does not expect any further AMT refunds. The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Relief Act of 2020 and the American Rescue Plan Act were enacted on December 27, 2020 and March 1, 2021, respectively. These acts did not have a material impact on the Company’s tax provision for 2021 or 2020. The tax effects of temporary differences that gave rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 consisted of the following: December 31, 2021 2020 (Dollars in millions) Deferred tax assets: Tax loss carryforwards and credits $ 1,267.6 $ 1,377.4 Property, plant, equipment and mine development, principally due to differences in depreciation, depletion and asset impairments 571.9 573.7 Accrued postretirement benefit obligations 48.9 93.8 Asset retirement obligations 91.4 95.5 Employee benefits 19.9 22.8 Take-or-pay obligations 9.5 11.0 Hedge activities 36.8 2.4 Interest limitation 7.9 — Investments and other assets 81.8 88.0 Workers’ compensation obligations 7.2 7.8 Operating lease liabilities 11.3 17.5 Other 22.7 21.7 Total gross deferred tax assets 2,176.9 2,311.6 Valuation allowance, income tax (2,120.8) (2,287.3) Total deferred tax assets 56.1 24.3 Deferred tax liabilities: Property, plant, equipment and mine development, principally due to differences in depreciation, depletion and asset impairments 66.4 36.2 Operating lease right-of-use assets 9.4 13.5 Investments and other assets 7.6 4.7 Total deferred tax liabilities 83.4 54.4 Net deferred tax liability $ (27.3) $ (30.1) Deferred taxes are classified as follows: Noncurrent deferred income tax asset $ — $ 4.9 Noncurrent deferred income tax liability (27.3) (35.0) Net deferred tax liability $ (27.3) $ (30.1) As of December 31, 2021, the Company had gross Australia NOLs of $1.6 billion in Australian dollars and gross U.S. federal NOLs of $2.6 billion. The Company’s tax loss carryforwards and credits of $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2021 were comprised primarily of net Australia NOLs and capital tax loss carryforwards of $491.6 million, net federal NOLs of $534.2 million, state NOLs of $85.2 million, tax general business credits (GBCs) of $139.1 million and other foreign NOLs of $15.8 million. The foreign tax loss carryforwards have no expiration date. The federal NOLs begin to expire in 2036. The state NOLs begin to expire in 2022 and the GBCs begin to expire in 2027. In assessing the near-term use of NOLs and tax credits and corresponding valuation allowance adjustments, the Company evaluated the expected level of future taxable income, available tax planning strategies, reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and taxable income in carryback years. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company continued to record valuation allowances of $2.1 billion against net deferred tax asset positions, comprised primarily of $1.2 billion in the U.S. and $0.9 billion in Australia. Recognition of those valuation allowances was driven by recent cumulative book losses, as determined by considering all sources of available income (including items classified as discontinued operations or recorded directly to “Accumulated other comprehensive income”), which limited the Company’s ability to look to future taxable income in assessing the realizability of the related assets. Unrecognized Tax Benefits Net unrecognized tax benefits (excluding interest and penalties) were recorded as follows in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020: December 31, 2021 2020 (Dollars in millions) Deferred income taxes $ 9.7 $ 7.8 Other noncurrent liabilities 1.3 1.3 Net unrecognized tax benefits $ 11.0 $ 9.1 Gross unrecognized tax benefits $ 11.0 $ 9.1 The amount of the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits increased by $1.9 million since December 31, 2020 due primarily to additions for current positions partially offset by adjustments for effectively settled positions. The amount of the net unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would directly affect the effective tax rate was $11.0 million and $9.1 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits for the periods presented below is as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 (Dollars in millions) Balance at beginning of period $ 9.1 $ 16.5 $ 14.0 Additions for current year tax positions 3.0 1.9 2.2 (Reductions) additions for prior year tax positions (1.1) (9.3) 0.3 Balance at end of period $ 11.0 $ 9.1 $ 16.5 The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its income tax provision. The Company recorded $0.2 million and $0.4 million of gross interest and penalties for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2019, respectively, and reversed gross interest and penalties of $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company had $5.7 million, $5.4 million and $5.8 million of accrued gross interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company does not expect a significant change in its net unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months. Tax Returns Subject to Examination The Company’s federal income tax returns for the 2019 and 2020 tax years are subject to potential examinations by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company’s state income tax returns for the tax years 2014 and thereafter remain potentially subject to examination by various state taxing authorities due to NOL carryforwards. Australian income tax returns for tax years 2013 through 2020 continue to be subject to potential examinations by the Australian Taxation Office. Foreign Earnings As of December 31, 2021, the Company has unremitted earnings relating to certain wholly owned subsidiaries that are not permanently reinvested due to terms of certain debt agreements. There is no residual cash taxes on the unremitted earnings due to the existence of NOLs. The Company has an earnings deficit for remaining investments outside the U.S. and continues to be permanently reinvested with respect to its historical earnings. However, when appropriate, the Company has the ability to access foreign cash without incurring residual cash taxes due to the existence of NOLs. Tax Payments and Refunds The following table summarizes the Company’s income tax payments (refunds), net for the periods presented below: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 (Dollars in millions) U.S. — federal $ (1.3) $ (44.6) $ (45.7) U.S. — state and local — 1.6 0.3 Non-U.S. 12.9 3.1 36.3 Total income tax payments (refunds), net $ 11.6 $ (39.9) $ (9.1) |

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Long-term Debt | Long-term Debt The Company’s total funded indebtedness (Indebtedness) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 consisted of the following: December 31, Debt Instrument (defined below, as applicable) 2021 2020 (Dollars in millions) 6.000% Senior Secured Notes due March 2022 (2022 Notes) $ 23.1 $ 459.0 8.500% Senior Secured Notes due December 2024 (2024 Peabody Notes) 62.6 — 10.000% Senior Secured Notes due December 2024 (2024 Co-Issuer Notes) 193.9 — Senior Secured Term Loan due 2024 (Co-Issuer Term Loans) 206.0 — 6.375% Senior Secured Notes due March 2025 (2025 Notes) 334.9 500.0 Senior Secured Term Loan due 2025, net of original issue discount (Senior Secured Term Loan) 322.8 388.2 Revolving credit facility — 216.0 Finance lease obligations 29.3 27.3 Less: Debt issuance costs (34.8) (42.7) 1,137.8 1,547.8 Less: Current portion of long-term debt 59.6 44.9 Long-term debt $ 1,078.2 $ 1,502.9 Refinancing Transactions On January 29, 2021 (the Settlement Date), the Company completed a series of transactions (collectively, the Refinancing Transactions) to, among other things, provide the Company with maturity extensions and covenant relief, while allowing it to maintain near-term operating liquidity and financial flexibility. The Refinancing Transactions included a senior notes exchange and related consent solicitation, a revolving credit facility exchange and various amendments to the Company’s existing debt agreements, as summarized below. As further discussed in Note 22. “Financial Instruments, Guarantees With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Other Guarantees,” upon completion of the Refinancing Transactions, the surety transaction support agreement (Surety Agreement) entered into with the Company’s surety bond providers in November 2020 became effective. On the Settlement Date, the Company settled an exchange offer (Exchange Offer) pursuant to which $398.7 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.000% Senior Secured Notes due March 2022 (the 2022 Notes) were validly tendered, accepted by the Company and exchanged for aggregate consideration consisting of (a) $193.9 million aggregate principal amount of new 10.000% Senior Secured Notes due December 2024 (2024 Co-Issuer Notes) issued by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (the Co-Issuers), (b) $195.1 million aggregate principal amount of new 8.500% Senior Secured Notes due December 2024 issued by the Company (2024 Peabody Notes) and (c) a cash payment of approximately $9.4 million. In connection with the settlement of the Exchange Offer, the Company also paid early tender premiums totaling $4.0 million in cash. The Company’s Wilpinjong Mine in Australia is owned and operated by a subsidiary of the Co-Issuers. The Exchange Offer was accounted for as a debt modification based upon the relative similarity of the present value of the future cash flows of the instruments. As such, no gain or loss was recorded in connection with the Exchange Offer. Fees paid to third parties of $10.6 million were included in “Interest expense” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2021. Concurrently with the Exchange Offer, the Company solicited consents from holders of the 2022 Notes to certain proposed amendments to its existing senior notes’ indenture (the Existing Indenture) to (i) eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, certain events of default applicable to the 2022 Notes and certain other provisions contained in the Existing Indenture and (ii) release the collateral securing the 2022 Notes and eliminate certain other related provisions contained in the Existing Indenture. The Company received the requisite consents from holders of the 2022 Notes and entered into a supplemental indenture to the Existing Indenture, which became operative on January 29, 2021. In connection with the Refinancing Transactions, the Company restructured the revolving loans under its existing credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) by (i) making a pay down of revolving loans thereunder in the aggregate amount of $10.0 million, (ii) the Co-Issuers incurring $206.0 million of term loans under a credit agreement, dated as of the Settlement Date (Co-Issuer Term Loans, Co-Issuer Term Loan Agreement), (iii) the Company entering into a letter of credit facility (the Company LC Agreement) and (iv) amending the Credit Agreement (collectively, the Revolver Transactions). 2024 Co-Issuer Notes The terms of the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes are governed by an indenture, as amended and restated as of February 3, 2021, by and among the Co-Issuers, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, and, on a limited basis, the Company (2024 Co-Issuer Notes Indenture). The 2024 Co-Issuer Notes mature on December 31, 2024 and bear interest at an annual rate of 10.000%. The Company paid aggregate debt issuance costs of $5.6 million, which are being amortized over the terms of the notes. Beginning March 31, 2021, interest is payable on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded interest expense of $19.6 million related to the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes. The 2024 Co-Issuer Notes and the Co-Issuer Term Loans are subject to mandatory prepayment offers at the end of each six-month period, beginning with June 30, 2021, whereby the Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes Indenture) generated by the Wilpinjong Mine during each such period will be applied to the principal of the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes and the Co-Issuer Term Loans on a pro rata basis, provided that the liquidity attributable to the Co-Issuers would not fall below $60.0 million. Such prepayments may be accepted or declined at the option of the debt holders. Based upon the Wilpinjong Mine’s results for the six-month period ended December 31, 2021, a total offer to prepay $105.6 million of principal was made on a pro rata basis in February 2022, including $51.2 million of the Co-Issuer Notes and $54.4 million of the Co-Issuer Term Loan. The offer for the Co-Issuer Notes expires March 14, 2022. The Company expects to prepay $17.2 million of principal under the now-expired Co-Issuer Term Loan offer, which is reflected within the current portion of long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021. There was no prepayment offer made with respect to the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. The 2024 Co-Issuer Notes Indenture contains customary covenants that, among other things, limit the Co-Issuers’ and their subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional Indebtedness, pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make certain other restricted payments or investments, enter into agreements that restrict distributions from subsidiaries, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, create or incur liens, and merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of their assets, and place restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to the Co-Issuers. The 2024 Co-Issuer Notes are not guaranteed by any of the Co-Issuers’ subsidiaries and thus are structurally subordinated to any existing or future Indebtedness or other liabilities, including trade payables, of any such subsidiaries. The 2024 Co-Issuer Notes initially are secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of the Co-Issuers, including by (i) 100% of the capital stock of PIC Acquisition Corp. owned by PIC AU Holdings LLC and (ii) all other property subject or purported to be subject, from time to time, to a lien under the Co-Issuers’ collateral trust agreement (collectively, the Wilpinjong Collateral). The Co-Issuers may redeem some or all of the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes at the redemption prices and on the terms specified in the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes Indenture. The 2024 Co-Issuer Notes Indenture contains certain events of default, including, in certain circumstances, (i) specified events occurring at the Wilpinjong Mine, (ii) the termination or certain modifications of the Surety Agreement, (iii) the Company’s failure to comply with any obligation under the transaction support agreement entered into prior to, and in contemplation of, the Refinancing Transactions and (iv) the termination of the management services agreements between the Company and the Co-Issuers. If the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due and payable as a result of an event of default, certain additional premium amounts may become due and payable in addition to unpaid principal and interest at the time of acceleration. In addition, the holders of the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes have the right, under certain circumstances specified in the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes Indenture, to exchange their 2024 Co-Issuer Notes for 2024 Peabody Notes. Co-Issuer Term Loans due 2024 The Co-Issuer Term Loans mature on December 31, 2024 and bear interest at a rate of 10.000% per annum. The Company paid aggregate debt issuance costs of $7.1 million, that are being amortized over its term. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded interest expense of $20.5 million related to the Co-Issuer Term Loans. The Co-Issuer Term Loan Agreement contains customary covenants that, among other things, limit the Co-Issuers’ and their subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional Indebtedness, pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make certain other restricted payments or investments, enter into agreements that restrict distributions from subsidiaries, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, create or incur liens, and merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of their assets, and place restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to the Co-Issuers. The Co-Issuer Term Loan Agreement is guaranteed and secured to the same extent as the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes as described above. In addition, the Co-Issuer Term Loan Agreement contains events of default substantially similar to those described above for the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes Indenture. The Co-Issuer Term Loans are subject to the Excess Cash Flow offer described above. 2024 Peabody Notes The terms of the 2024 Peabody Notes are governed by an indenture, as amended and restated as of February 3, 2021, by and among Peabody, the guarantors party thereto, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the 2024 Peabody Notes Indenture). The 2024 Peabody Notes mature on December 31, 2024. The Company paid aggregate debt issuance costs of $5.7 million, which are being amortized over the terms of the notes. The 2024 Peabody Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 8.500%, consisting of 6.000% per annum in cash and an additional 2.500% per annum to be paid-in-kind through an increase of the principal amount of the outstanding 2024 Peabody Notes, which is payable on June 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing on June 30, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded interest expense of $12.9 million related to the 2024 Peabody Notes, which included in-kind interest of approximately $2.9 million. As a requirement of the Exchange Offer, during the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company purchased $22.4 million of the 2024 Peabody Notes at 80% of their accreted value, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In connection with the purchases, the Company recognized a net gain of $3.5 million to “Net (gain) loss on early debt extinguishment” during the year ended December 31, 2021. The notes were subsequently canceled. The 2024 Peabody Notes Indenture contains customary covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional Indebtedness, pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make certain other restricted payments or investments, enter into agreements that restrict distributions from restricted subsidiaries, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, create or incur liens, and merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets, and place restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to the Company. The 2024 Peabody Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis by the Peabody Guarantors (as defined below) on the Peabody Collateral (as defined below). The obligations are secured on a pari passu basis by the same collateral that secures the 6.375% Senior Secured Notes due March 2025 (the 2025 Notes), the Credit Agreement and the Company LC Agreement described below. Company LC Agreement On the Settlement Date, the Company entered into the Company LC Agreement with the revolving lenders party to the Credit Agreement, pursuant to which the Company obtained a $324.0 million letter of credit facility under which its existing letters under the Credit Agreement were deemed to be issued. The Company paid aggregate debt issuance costs of $4.1 million. The commitments under the Company LC Agreement mature on December 31, 2024. Undrawn letters of credit under the Company LC Agreement bear interest at 6.00% per annum and unused commitments are subject to a 0.50% per annum commitment fee. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded interest expense and fees of $21.9 million related to the Company LC Agreement. In connection with the Revolver Transactions, the Company amended its Credit Agreement to make certain changes in consideration of the Company LC Agreement. After giving effect to the Revolver Transactions, there remain no revolving commitments or revolving loans under the Credit Agreement and the first lien net leverage ratio covenant was eliminated. The Company LC Agreement requires that the Company’s restricted subsidiaries maintain minimum aggregate liquidity of $125.0 million at the end of each quarter through December 31, 2024. As such, liquidity attributable to the Co-Issuers, its subsidiaries and other unrestricted subsidiaries is excluded from the calculation. The Company LC Agreement is guaranteed and secured to the same extent of the 2024 Peabody Notes as described above. In addition, the Company LC Agreement contains events of default substantially similar to those described above for the 2024 Peabody Notes. The 2024 Peabody Notes Indenture and the Company LC Agreement allow the Company to make open market debt repurchases, subject to certain limitations, including, but not limited to: (i) the Company’s unrestricted subsidiaries’ liquidity must be greater than or equal to $200.0 million after giving effect to such repurchases and (ii) for every $4 of principal repurchased in any fiscal quarter, the Company must make an offer on a pro rata basis to purchase $1 of principal amount of debt from holders of the 2024 Peabody Notes and the priority lien obligations under the Company LC Agreement within 30 days of the end of such fiscal quarter at a price equal to the weighted average repurchase price paid over that quarter (Mandatory Repurchase Offer). 6.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 On February 15, 2017, the Company entered into the Existing Indenture with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, relating to its issuance of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes. The 2025 Notes were issued on February 15, 2017 in a private transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). The 2025 Notes were issued at par value. The Company paid aggregate debt issuance costs of $25.1 million related to the offering, which are being amortized over the term of the 2025 Notes. Interest payments on the 2025 Notes are scheduled to occur each year on March 31 and September 30 until maturity. The Company recorded interest expense of $35.7 million, $36.7 million and $36.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to the 2025 Notes. With respect to the 2025 Notes, the Existing Indenture contains customary conditions of default and imposes certain restrictions on the Company’s activities, including its ability to incur debt, incur liens, 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 2025 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 2025 Notes are jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by substantially all of the Company’s domestic restricted subsidiaries (the Peabody Guarantors) and secured by (a) first priority liens over (1) substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Peabody Guarantors, except for certain excluded assets, (2) 100% of the capital stock of each domestic restricted subsidiary of the Company, (3) 100% of the capital stock of each first tier foreign subsidiary of the Company or a foreign subsidiary holding company and (4) all intercompany debt owed to the Company or any Peabody Guarantor, in each case, subject to certain exceptions (the Peabody Collateral), and (b) second priority liens over the Wilpinjong Collateral. The 2025 Notes are secured on a pari passu basis by the same collateral securing the Credit Agreement, and the other priority lien debt of the Company, including the 2024 Peabody Notes and the Company LC Agreement described above. Credit Agreement/Senior Secured Term Loan due 2025 The Company originally entered into the Credit Agreement during 2017, which provided for a $950.0 million senior secured term loan (the Senior Secured Term Loan) due in 2022. 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 Credit Agreement has been amended periodically over its term to add a revolving loan facility, to increase the capacity and extend the maturity date of the revolving loan facility, to extend the maturity date of the Senior Secured Term Loan to 2025 and to make various changes to terms such as those related to interest, fees and payment restrictions. In connection with certain of the amendments, the Company voluntarily prepaid $46.0 million of Senior Secured Term Loan principal and incurred $10.4 million of deferred financing costs related to the revolving loan facility. The Company also voluntarily repaid an additional $500.0 million of Senior Secured Term Loan principal in various installments. At December 31, 2021 the Senior Secured Term Loan had a balance of $322.8 million. The Senior Secured Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments of $1.0 million and periodic interest payments through December 2024 with the remaining balance due in March 2025. The Company recorded interest expense of $12.8 million, $15.6 million and $22.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to the Senior Secured Term Loan, which bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum as of December 31, 2021. The Senior Secured Term Loan may require mandatory principal prepayments of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for any fiscal year based upon the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement and calculated at December 31, net of any unrestricted cash). In connection with the Revolver Transactions, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to make certain changes in consideration of the Company LC Agreement. After giving effect to the Revolver Transactions, there remain no revolving commitments or revolving loans under the Credit Agreement. Further, all financial covenants specific to the former revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement were eliminated in connection with the Refinancing Transactions and were not applicable at December 31, 2021. The Company recorded interest expense and fees of $1.4 million, $15.9 million and $6.2 million, during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to the revolving loan facility. 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 guaranteed by the Peabody Guarantors and are secured by first priority liens on the Peabody Collateral and second priority liens on the Wilpinjong Collateral. The obligations are secured on a pari passu basis by the same collateral securing the 2025 Notes and the other priority lien debt of the Company, including the 2024 Peabody Notes and the Company LC Agreement described above. The Company was compliant with all covenants under its debt agreements, including the minimum liquidity covenant under the Company LC Agreement, at December 31, 2021. Subsequent Financing Transactions Subsequent to the Refinancing Transactions, the Company completed a series of financing transactions intended to improve its capital structure. In June 2021, the Company announced an at-the-market equity offering program pursuant to which the Company could offer and sell up to 12.5 million shares of its common stock. The at-the-market equity offering program was further expanded to 32.5 million shares during 2021. The shares are offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 23, 2021, as supplemented by prospectus supplements dated June 4, 2021, September 17, 2021, and December 17, 2021, relating to the offer and sale of the shares. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company sold approximately 24.8 million shares for net cash proceeds of $269.8 million. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company retired $91.4 million of 2024 Peabody Notes, $117.8 million of 2025 Notes and $61.7 million of its Senior Secured Term Loan primarily through various open market purchases at an aggregate cost of $232.4 million. The Company recorded a gain on early debt extinguishment of $28.8 million, net of debt issuance costs and original issue discount related to the retired debt of $9.7 million. Also during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company completed multiple bilateral transactions with holders of the 2022 Notes, the 2025 Notes and the 2024 Peabody Notes in which the Company issued an aggregate 10.0 million shares of its common stock in exchange for $37.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes, $47.2 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes and $21.6 million aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Peabody Notes. Based upon the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the respective settlement dates, the Company recorded a net gain on early debt extinguishment of $0.9 million in connection with the transactions. The issuance of shares of common stock in exchange for the 2022 Notes, the 2025 Notes and the 2024 Peabody Notes was made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Section 3(a)(9) under the Securities Act of 1933, based in part on representations of holders of the 2022 Notes, the 2025 Notes and the 2024 Peabody Notes, and on the basis that the exchange was completed with existing holders of the Company's securities and no commission or other remuneration was paid or given for soliciting the exchange. As a result of the Company’s open market purchases of its debt during the three months ended December 31, 2021, on January 14, 2022, the Company announced a Mandatory Repurchase Offer of up to $38.6 million of 2024 Peabody Notes, at 94.940% of their aggregate accreted value, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and a concurrent repurchase offer of priority lien obligations under the Company LC Agreement. The offers expire on March 4, 2022, unless extended by the Company.

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | 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. Refer to Note 1. “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for the Company’s policies regarding “Leases.” 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. The components of lease expense for the periods presented below were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 (Dollars in millions) Operating lease cost: Operating leases $ 19.8 $ 28.8 $ 43.3 Short-term leases 15.5 39.1 49.7 Variable leases 2.7 4.6 19.1 Sublease income (1.9) (2.3) (2.6) Total operating lease cost $ 36.1 $ 70.2 $ 109.5 Finance lease cost: Amortization of right-of-use assets $ 5.9 $ 3.5 $ 15.3 Interest on lease liabilities 2.7 0.8 1.5 Total finance lease cost $ 8.6 $ 4.3 $ 16.8 Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was as follows: December 31, 2021 2020 (Dollars in millions) Operating leases: Operating lease right-of-use assets $ 35.5 $ 49.9 Accounts payable and accrued expenses $ 16.4 $ 24.5 Operating lease liabilities, less current portion 27.2 42.1 Total operating lease liabilities $ 43.6 $ 66.6 Finance leases: Property, plant, equipment and mine development $ 32.2 $ 20.4 Accumulated depreciation (7.4) (2.5) Property, plant, equipment and mine development, net $ 24.8 $ 17.9 Current portion of long-term debt $ 15.3 $ 21.5 Long-term debt, less current portion 14.0 5.8 Total finance lease liabilities $ 29.3 $ 27.3 Weighted average remaining lease term (years) Operating leases 3.0 Finance leases 6.7 Weighted average discount rate Operating leases 6.9 % Finance leases 8.5 % Supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the periods presented below was as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 (Dollars in millions) Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows for operating leases $ 24.3 $ 35.1 $ 51.0 Operating cash flows for finance leases 3.8 0.8 1.5 Financing cash flows for finance leases 8.2 8.9 29.6 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations: Operating leases 7.1 16.5 16.6 Finance leases 24.4 1.6 1.6 The Company's leases have remaining lease terms ranging from 1 year to 20.0 years, and may include options to extend the terms, as applicable.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans | Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance BenefitsThe Company currently provides health care and life insurance benefits to qualifying salaried and hourly retirees of its current and certain former subsidiaries and their dependents from benefit plans established by the Company. Plan coverage for health benefits is provided to future hourly and salaried retirees in accordance with the applicable plan document. Life insurance benefits are provided to future hourly retirees in accordance with the applicable labor agreement. Net periodic postretirement benefit (benefit) cost included the following components: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 (Dollars in millions) Service cost for benefits earned $ 1.0 $ 3.8 $ 4.8 Interest cost on accumulated postretirement benefit obligation 10.5 20.2 25.1 Expected return on plan assets (1.0) (1.5) (0.5) Amortization of prior service credit (46.4) (17.3) (8.7) Net actuarial (gain) loss (54.5) 16.5 78.3 Net periodic postretirement benefit (benefit) cost $ (90.4) $ 21.7 $ 99.0 The actuarial gain for all benefit plans in 2021 was primarily due to the increase in the discount rate used to measure the benefit obligation, favorable impact of claims experience for the year, and updating the mortality base table and improvement scale to those published by the Society of Actuaries considering the plan’s experience for participants receiving medical benefits under the UMWA Coal Act design. The actuarial loss for all benefit plans in 2020 was primarily due to the decrease in the discount rate used to measure the benefit obligation offset by the favorable impact of claims experience for the year and updating the mortality base tables and improvement scales to those published by the Society of Actuaries for all participants except those receiving medical benefits under the UMWA Coal Act design. The actuarial loss for all benefit plans in 2019 was primarily due to the decrease in the discount rate used to measure the benefit obligation and unfavorable medical claims experience for the year. The following includes pre-tax amounts recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income”: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 (Dollars in millions) Prior service credit arising during year $ (139.5) $ (185.4) $ — Amortization: Prior service credit 46.4 17.3 8.7 Total recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” $ (93.1) $ (168.1) $ 8.7 The Company amortizes prior service credit over an amortization period of the average remaining service period to full eligibility for participating employees at the time of the plan change or the expected lifetime of participants in the plan. Prior service credits established during 2021 and 2020 are described below. The estimated prior service credit that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic postretirement benefit cost during the year ending December 31, 2022 is $53.8 million. The following table sets forth the plans’ funded status reconciled with the amounts shown in the consolidated balance sheets: December 31, 2021 2020 (Dollars in millions) Change in benefit obligation: Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at beginning of period $ 476.6 $ 659.9 Service cost 1.0 3.8 Interest cost 10.5 20.2 Participant contributions 0.1 2.4 Plan amendments (139.5) (185.4) Benefits paid and administrative fees (net of Medicare Part D reimbursements) (34.5) (42.9) Actuarial (gain) loss (55.5) 18.6 Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at end of period 258.7 476.6 Change in plan assets: Fair value of plan assets at beginning of period 33.7 34.2 Actual return on plan assets — 3.6 Employer contributions 26.8 36.4 Participant contributions 0.1 2.4 Benefits paid and administrative fees (net of Medicare Part D reimbursements) (34.5) (42.9) Fair value of plan assets at end of period 26.1 33.7 Funded status at end of period (232.6) (442.9) Less: Current portion (included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses”) 20.5 29.7 Noncurrent obligation (included in “Accrued postretirement benefit costs”) $ (212.1) $ (413.2) In October 2021, the Company announced changes to its postretirement health care benefit plan for certain represented retirees. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company will no longer provide medical coverage to certain existing retirees but will continue to offer a life insurance benefit to eligible retirees. The impact of the changes on future benefits reduced the Company’s accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $139.5 million. The reduction was attributable to the elimination of health care benefits for certain represented retirees. The reduction in liability was recorded with an offsetting balance in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” and is being amortized to earnings based upon the estimated remaining life expectancies of certain plan participants (14.2 years was the amortization period when it was established on October 1, 2021). In September 2020, the Company announced changes to its postretirement health care benefit plans for non-represented employees and retirees. Effective January 1, 2021, the Company no longer subsidizes medical costs for Medicare eligible individuals or provides life insurance to salaried and hourly non-union retirees. The Company provides non-Medicare eligible salaried and hourly non-union retirees and eligible dependents a health reimbursement arrangement. There were no changes to benefits for represented participants. The impact of the changes on future benefits reduced the Company’s accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $185.4 million. The reduction was attributable to the elimination of health care benefits upon covered individuals’ attainment of Medicare eligibility and the elimination of life insurance benefits for certain non-represented participants. The reduction in liability was recorded with an offsetting balance in “Accumulated other comprehensive income.” The $174.5 million reduction for elimination of health care benefits upon attainment of Medicare eligibility for salaried and non-union hourly retirees and eligible dependents is being amortized to earnings over an average remaining service period to full eligibility for participating employees (3.9 years and 4.9 years were the remaining amortization periods at January 1, 2022 and 2021, respectively). The remaining $10.9 million for the elimination of life insurance benefits and elimination of health care benefits upon attainment of Medicare eligibility for select non-union retirees is being amortized to earnings over the average remaining life expectancy of the affected plan (9.5 years and 10.5 years were the remaining amortization periods at January 1, 2022 and 2021, respectively). A prior service credit established in December 2018 is being amortized to earnings over an average remaining service period to full eligibility for participating employees (2.9 years and 3.9 years were the remaining amortization periods at January 1, 2022 and 2021, respectively). The weighted-average assumptions used to determine the benefit obligations for the plans as of the end of each year were as follows: December 31, 2021 2020 Discount rate 2.84 % 2.55 % Measurement date December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 The weighted-average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit (benefit) cost for the plans during each period were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Discount rate 2.55 % 3.40 % 4.35 % Expected long-term return on plan assets (pre-tax) 5.75 % 7.00 % 5.00 % Measurement date December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 The expected rate of return on plan assets is determined by taking into consideration expected long-term returns associated with each major asset class based on long-term historical ranges, inflation assumptions and the expected net value from active management of the assets based on actual results. The asset allocation of plan assets and long-term capital market expectations remain unchanged from December 31, 2020 therefore the Company’s expected pre-tax rate of return on plan assets will remain at 5.75% for 2022. The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation exceeded plan assets for all plans as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for all plans was $258.7 million and $476.6 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The following presents information about the assumed health care cost trend rate: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 Pre-Medicare: Health care cost trend rate assumed for next year 6.00 % 6.00 % Rate to which the cost trend is assumed to decline (the ultimate trend rate) 4.75 % 4.75 % Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate 2027 2026 Post-Medicare: Health care cost trend rate assumed for next year 5.75 % 5.75 % Rate to which the cost trend is assumed to decline (the ultimate trend rate) 4.75 % 4.75 % Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate 2027 2026 Plan Assets The Company has established two Voluntary Employees Beneficiary Association (VEBA) trusts to pre-fund a portion of benefits for non-represented and represented retirees. Assets of the Peabody Investments Corp. Non-Represented Retiree VEBA Trust (the Non-Represented Trust) are invested in accordance with the investment policy established by the Peabody VEBA Retirement Committee after consultation with outside investment advisors and actuaries. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the asset allocation strategy for the Non-Represented Trust is 30% in equity and 70% in fixed income assets. The asset strategy may vary over time based on changes in the status of the Non-Represented Plan, the Company’s risk posture and other factors. In 2021 the Peabody Holding Company LLC Represented Retiree VEBA Trust (the Represented Trust) was terminated. At December 31, 2020 assets of the Represented Trust were invested in cash funds. A financial instrument’s level within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Following is a description of the valuation techniques and inputs used for investments measured at fair value, including the general classification of such investments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. U.S. equity securities. The Non-Represented Trust invests in U.S. equity securities for growth and diversification. Investment vehicles include various domestic large-cap publicly traded common stocks and mutual funds. All common stocks are traded on a national securities exchange and are valued at quoted market prices in active markets and accordingly classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. The mutual funds are traded on a national securities exchange in an active market, are valued using daily publicly quoted net asset value (NAV) prices and accordingly classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. International equity securities. The Non-Represented Trust invests in international equity securities for growth and diversification. Investment vehicles include various international publicly traded common stocks, exchange traded funds and mutual funds. All common stocks are traded on a national securities exchange and are valued at quoted market prices in active markets and accordingly classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. The exchange traded funds and mutual funds are traded on a national securities exchange in an active market, are valued using daily publicly quoted NAV prices and accordingly classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Corporate bonds . The Non-Represented Trust invests in corporate bonds for diversification, volatility reduction of equity securities and to provide a hedge to interest rate movements affecting liabilities. Investment types are predominantly investment-grade corporate bonds. Fair value for these securities is provided by a third-party pricing service that utilizes various inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads and benchmark securities as well as other relevant economic measures. Corporate bonds are classified within the Level 2 valuation hierarchy since fair value inputs are derived prices in active markets and the bonds are not traded on a national securities exchange. U.S. government securities . The Non-Represented Trust invests in U.S. government securities for diversification, volatility reduction of equity securities and to provide a hedge to interest rate movements affecting liabilities. Investment types are predominantly U.S. government bonds, notes, agency securities and municipal bonds. Fair value for these securities is provided by a third-party pricing service that utilizes various inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads and benchmark securities as well as other relevant economic measures. If fair value is based on quoted prices in active markets and traded on a national securities exchange, U.S. government securities are classified within the Level 1 valuation hierarchy; otherwise, U.S. government securities are classified within the Level 2 valuation hierarchy. Cash funds . The Non-Represented and Represented Trusts invest in cash funds to manage liquidity resulting from payment of participant benefits and certain administrative fees. The investments consist of non-interest bearing cash funds and U.S. Government money market fund which are classified within the Level 1 valuation hierarchy. The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. The following tables present the fair value of assets in the Non-Represented and Represented Trusts by asset category and by fair value hierarchy: December 31, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (Dollars in millions) U.S. equity securities $ 5.7 $ — $ — $ 5.7 International equity securities 2.0 — — 2.0 Corporate bonds — 10.1 — 10.1 U.S. government securities 3.1 3.8 — 6.9 Cash funds 1.4 — — 1.4 Total assets at fair value $ 12.2 $ 13.9 $ — $ 26.1 December 31, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (Dollars in millions) U.S. equity securities $ 10.5 $ — $ — $ 10.5 International equity securities 2.0 — — 2.0 Corporate bonds — 9.6 — 9.6 U.S. government securities 1.0 4.2 — 5.2 Cash funds 6.4 — — 6.4 Total assets at fair value $ 19.9 $ 13.8 $ — $ 33.7 Contributions Annual contributions to the Non-Represented and Represented Trusts are discretionary. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company made no contributions to either trust. Estimated Future Benefit Payments The following benefit payments (net of retiree contributions and Medicare Part D reimbursements), which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid by the Company or satisfied from Non-Represented Trust assets: Postretirement (Dollars in millions) 2022 $ 28.9 2023 25.8 2024 24.3 2025 22.7 2026 20.8 Years 2027-2031 81.5 |

Pension and Savings Plans [Abstract] | |
Pension and Savings Plans | Pension and Savings Plans One of the Company’s subsidiaries, Peabody Investments Corp. (PIC), sponsors a defined benefit pension plan covering certain U.S. salaried employees and eligible hourly employees at certain PIC subsidiaries (the Peabody Plan). A subsidiary of PIC also has a defined benefit pension plan covering eligible employees who are represented by the UMWA under the Western Surface Agreement (the Western Plan and together with the Peabody Plan, the Pension Plans). Effective May 31, 2008, the Peabody Plan was frozen in its entirety for both participation and benefit accrual purposes. In 2020, the Company announced a program to offer a voluntary lump-sum pension payout to eligible active salaried employees and former salaried employees in the Peabody Plan which would settle the Company’s obligation to them. The program provided participants with a limited time opportunity to elect to receive a lump-sum settlement of their pension benefit or begin to receive their benefit in the form of a monthly annuity in December 2020. As part of this voluntary lump-sum program, the Company settled $51.6 million of its pension obligations for active salaried employees and former salaried employees in the Peabody Plan with an equal amount paid from plan assets. As a result, the Company recorded a settlement gain of $2.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2020, which was reflected in “Net periodic benefit (credit) costs, excluding service cost” on the consolidated statement of operations. Net periodic pension cost (benefit) included the following components: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 (Dollars in millions) Service cost for benefits earned $ 0.2 $ 0.3 $ 2.0 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 20.4 28.0 33.5 Expected return on plan assets (22.9) (29.7) (31.4) Settlement — (2.7) — Net actuarial loss (gain) 12.7 (25.6) (16.6) Net periodic pension cost (benefit) $ 10.4 $ (29.7) $ (12.5) The actuarial loss for all pension plans in 2021 was primarily due to actual returns on plan assets lower than expected returns for the year offset by the increase in the discount rate used to measure the benefit obligation. The actuarial gain for all pension plans in 2020 was primarily due to actual returns on plan assets exceeding the expected returns for the year and the favorable impact of updating the mortality base tables and improvement scales to those published by the Society of Actuaries, offset by the decline in the discount rate used to measure the benefit obligation. The actuarial gain for all pension plans in 2019 was primarily due to actual returns on plan assets exceeding the expected returns for the year, offset by the decline in the discount rate used to measure the benefit obligation. The following summarizes the change in benefit obligation, change in plan assets and funded status of the Pension Plans: December 31, 2021 2020 (Dollars in millions) Change in benefit obligation: Projected benefit obligation at beginning of period $ 816.4 $ 853.8 Service cost 0.2 0.3 Interest cost 20.4 28.0 Benefits paid (55.9) (57.5) Actuarial (gain) loss (29.4) 43.4 Settlement — (51.6) Projected benefit obligation at end of period 751.7 816.4 Change in plan assets: Fair value of plan assets at beginning of period 847.5 855.2 Actual return on plan assets (19.2) 101.4 Benefits paid (55.9) (57.5) Settlement — (51.6) Fair value of plan assets at end of period 772.4 847.5 Funded status at end of period $ 20.7 $ 31.1 Amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets: Noncurrent asset (included in “Investments and other assets”) $ 28.5 $ 39.6 Noncurrent obligation (included in “Other noncurrent liabilities”) (7.8) (8.5) Net amount recognized $ 20.7 $ 31.1 The weighted-average assumptions used to determine the benefit obligations as of the end of each year were as follows: December 31, 2021 2020 Discount rate 2.95 % 2.60 % Measurement date December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 The weighted-average assumptions used to determine net periodic pension cost benefit during each period were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Discount rate 2.60 % 3.40 % 4.35 % Expected long-term return on plan assets 2.80 % 3.60 % 4.20 % Measurement date December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 The expected rate of return on plan assets is determined by taking into consideration expected long-term returns associated with each major asset class based on long-term historical ranges, inflation assumptions and the expected net value from active management of the assets based on actual results. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company raised its expected rate of return on plan assets from 2.80% to 3.20% reflecting the impact of the Company’s asset allocation and capital market expectations. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the accumulated benefit obligation for all plans was $751.7 million and $816.4 million, respectively, which was equal to the projected benefit obligation for those periods. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the plan assets for the Peabody Plan of $611.6 million and $672.5 million, respectively, exceeded the projected benefit obligation and accumulated benefit obligation for those periods of $583.1 million and $632.9 million, respectively. The projected benefit obligation and accumulated benefit obligation for the Western Plan as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, was $168.6 million and $183.5 million, respectively, which exceeded the plan assets of $160.8 million and $175.0 million, respectively, for those periods. Assets of the Pension Plans Assets of the PIC Master Trust (the Master Trust) are invested in accordance with investment guidelines established by the Peabody Plan Retirement Committee and the Peabody Western Plan Retirement Committee (collectively, the Retirement Committees) after consultation with outside investment advisors and actuaries. The asset allocation targets have been set with the expectation that the assets of the Master Trust will be managed with an appropriate level of risk to fund each Pension Plan’s expected liabilities. To determine the appropriate target asset allocations, the Retirement Committees consider the demographics of each Pension Plan’s participants, the funded status of each Pension Plan, the business and financial profile of the Company and other associated risk preferences. These allocation targets are reviewed by the Retirement Committees on a regular basis and revised as necessary. As a result of discretionary contributions made in recent years, the Pension Plans have become nearly fully funded and therefore, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Master Trust investment portfolio reflected the Company’s target asset mix of 100% fixed income investments. Master Trust assets also include investments in various real estate holdings through limited partnerships representing approximately less than 1% of total Master Trust assets as of both December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Retirement Committees’ intention is to liquidate these real estate holdings when allowable per the terms of the limited partnership agreements. Generally, dissolution and liquidation of the limited partnerships is required before the Master Trust’s real estate holdings can be liquidated. Assets of the Master Trust are under management by third-party investment managers, which are selected and monitored by the Retirement Committees. Specific investment guidelines have been established by the Retirement Committees for each major asset class including performance benchmarks, allowable and prohibited investment types and concentration limits. In general, investment guidelines do not permit leveraging the assets held in the Master Trust. However, investment managers may employ various strategies and derivative instruments in establishing overall portfolio characteristics consistent with the guidelines and investment objectives established by the Retirement Committees for their portfolios. Fixed income investment guidelines only allow for exchange-traded derivatives if the investment manager deems the derivative vehicle to be more attractive than a similar direct investment in an underlying cash market or to manage the duration of the fixed income portfolio. A financial instrument’s level within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Following is a description of the valuation techniques and inputs used for investments measured at fair value, including the general classification of such investments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. Corporate bonds . The Master Trust invests in corporate bonds for diversification and to provide a hedge to interest rate movements affecting liabilities. Investment types are predominantly investment-grade corporate bonds. Fair value for these securities is provided by a third-party pricing service that utilizes various inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads and benchmark securities as well as other relevant economic measures. Corporate bonds are classified within the Level 2 valuation hierarchy since fair value inputs are derived prices in active markets and the bonds are not traded on a national securities exchange. U.S. government securities. The Master Trust invests in U.S. government securities for diversification and to provide a hedge to interest rate movements affecting liabilities. Investment types are predominantly U.S. government bonds, agency securities and municipal bonds. Fair value for these securities is provided by a third-party pricing service that utilizes various inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads and benchmark securities as well as other relevant economic measures. If fair value is based on quoted prices in active markets and traded on a national securities exchange, U.S. government securities are classified within the Level 1 valuation hierarchy; otherwise, U.S. government securities are classified within the Level 2 valuation hierarchy. International government securities. The Master Trust invests in international government securities for diversification and to provide a hedge to interest rate movements affecting liabilities. Investment types are predominantly non-U.S. government bonds. Fair value for these securities is provided by a third-party pricing service that utilizes various inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads and benchmark securities as well as other relevant economic measures. International government securities are classified within the Level 2 valuation hierarchy since fair value inputs are derived prices in active markets and the bonds are not traded on a national securities exchange. Asset-backed securities. The Master Trust invests in asset-backed securities for diversification and to provide a hedge to interest rate movements affecting liabilities. Investment types are predominately mortgage-backed securities. Asset-backed securities are classified within the Level 2 valuation hierarchy since fair value inputs are derived prices in active markets and the investments are not traded on a national securities exchange. Cash funds . The Master Trust invests in cash funds to manage liquidity resulting from payment of participant benefits and certain administrative fees. Investment vehicles primarily include a non-interest bearing cash fund with an earnings credit allowance feature, various exchange-traded derivative instruments consisting of futures and interest rate swap agreements used to manage the duration of certain liability-hedging investments. The non-interest bearing cash fund is classified within the Level 1 valuation hierarchy. Exchange traded derivatives, such as options and futures, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are classified within the Level 1 valuation hierarchy. Real estate interests . The Master Trust invests in real estate interests for diversification. Investments in real estate represent interests in several limited partnerships, which invest in various real estate properties. Interests in real estate are valued using various methodologies, including independent third party appraisals; fair value measurements are not developed by the Company. For some investments, little market activity may exist and determination of fair value is then based on the best information available in the circumstances. This involves a significant degree of judgment by taking into consideration a combination of internal and external factors. Accordingly, interests in real estate are classified within the Level 3 valuation hierarchy. Some limited partnerships issue dividends to their investors in the form of cash distributions that the Pension Plans invest elsewhere within the Master Trust. Private mutual funds . The Master Trust invests in mutual funds for growth and diversification. Investment vehicles include an institutional fund that holds a diversified portfolio of long-duration corporate fixed income investments (Corporate Bond Fund). The Corporate Bond Fund is not traded on a national securities exchange and is valued at NAV, the practical expedient to estimate fair value. The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. The following tables present the fair value of assets in the Master Trust by asset category and by fair value hierarchy: December 31, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (Dollars in millions) Corporate bonds $ — $ 537.5 $ — $ 537.5 U.S. government securities 125.2 22.5 — 147.7 International government securities — 15.5 — 15.5 Asset-backed securities — 3.3 — 3.3 Cash funds 30.7 — — 30.7 Real estate interests — — 0.3 0.3 Total assets at fair value $ 155.9 $ 578.8 $ 0.3 735.0 Assets measured at net asset value practical expedient (1) Private mutual funds 37.4 Total plan assets $ 772.4 December 31, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (Dollars in millions) Corporate bonds $ — $ 623.3 $ — $ 623.3 U.S. government securities 121.4 21.2 — 142.6 International government securities — 18.7 — 18.7 Asset-backed securities — 4.7 — 4.7 Cash funds 14.9 — — 14.9 Real estate interests — — 1.2 1.2 Total assets at fair value $ 136.3 $ 667.9 $ 1.2 805.4 Assets measured at net asset value practical expedient (1) Private mutual funds 42.1 Total plan assets $ 847.5 (1) In accordance with Accounting Standards Update 2015-07, investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the total value of assets of the plans. The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Master Trust’s Level 3 investments: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 (Dollars in millions) Balance, beginning of period $ 1.2 $ 4.1 $ 6.2 Realized gains (losses) 0.9 1.6 (1.0) Unrealized (losses) gains relating to investments still held at the reporting date (0.6) (2.1) 1.4 Purchases, sales and settlements, net (1.2) (2.4) (2.5) Balance, end of period $ 0.3 $ 1.2 $ 4.1 Contributions 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 December 31, 2021, the Company’s qualified plans are expected to be at or above the Pension Protection Act thresholds. The Company was not required to make any payments to its qualified pension plans in 2021 based on minimum funding requirements and did not make any discretionary contributions in 2021. Estimated Future Benefit Payments The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid in connection with the Company’s benefit obligation: Pension Benefits (Dollars in millions) 2022 $ 56.3 2023 55.3 2024 54.3 2025 53.1 2026 51.8 Years 2027-2031 236.8 Defined Contribution Plans The Company sponsors employee retirement accounts under three 401(k) plans for eligible U.S. employees. The Company matches voluntary contributions to each plan up to specified levels. In May 2020 the Company amended one of its plans to eliminate the formula for calculating matching contributions and provide the Company sole discretion in making any matching contributions. During the period May 2020 to December 2020 the Company suspended matching contributions due to challenging business conditions of COVID-19. In January 2021 the Company reinstated matching contributions. The expense for these plans was $9.7 million, $9.6 million and $27.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Discretionary contribution features in the plans allow for additional contributions from the Company. There were no discretionary contributions granted for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. There were no discretionary contributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. A discretionary contribution of $8.9 million was paid during the year ended December 31, 2019.

The Board may also determine restrictions on the issuance of shares of the same series or of any other class or series, and the voting rights (if any) of the holders of the series. There were no outstanding shares of preferred stock as of December 31, 2021. Series Common Stock The Board is authorized to issue up to 50.0 million shares of series common stock, par value $0.01 per share. The Board can determine the terms and rights of each series, whether dividends (if any) will be cumulative or non-cumulative and the dividend rate of the series, redemption or sinking fund provisions, conversion terms, prices and rates and amounts payable on shares of the series in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company and whether the shares of the series will be convertible into shares of any other class or series, or any other security, of the Company or any other corporation. The Board may also determine restrictions on the issuance of shares of the same series or of any other class or series, and the voting rights (if any) of the holders of the series. There were no outstanding shares of series common stock as of December 31, 2021. Treasury Stock Share repurchases. On August 1, 2017, the Board authorized a $500.0 million share repurchase program of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock and/or preferred stock (Repurchase Program), which was eventually expanded to $1.5 billion during 2018. The Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date and may be discontinued at any time. Through December 31, 2021, the Company repurchased 41.5 million shares of its Common Stock for $1,340.3 million (14.6 million shares for $329.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2019; 21.1 million shares for $834.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2018; and 5.8 million shares for $175.7 million during the period April 2 through December 31, 2017), which included commissions paid of $0.8 million. As of December 31, 2021, there was $160.5 million available for repurchase under the Repurchase Program. Share repurchases were suspended by the Company during 2019, and as further described in Note 22. “Financial Instruments, Guarantees With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Other Guarantees,” during the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company entered into a transaction support agreement with its surety bond providers which prohibits the repurchase of shares through the earlier of December 31, 2025, or the maturity of the Credit Agreement (currently March 31, 2025), unless otherwise agreed to by the parties to the agreements. Additionally, restrictive covenants in the Company’s credit facility and in the indentures governing its senior secured notes also limit the Company’s ability to repurchase shares. Prior to the suspension, repurchases were made at the Company’s discretion. The specific timing, price and size of purchases depended upon the share price, general market and economic conditions and other considerations, including compliance with various debt agreements in effect at the time repurchases were made. Shares relinquished. The Company routinely allows employees to relinquish Common Stock to pay estimated taxes upon the vesting of restricted stock units and the payout of performance units that are settled in Common Stock under its equity incentive plans. The number of shares of Common Stock relinquished was 0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 0.4 million for both the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The value of the Common Stock tendered by employees was based upon the closing price on the dates of the respective transactions. |

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Share-Based Compensation | Share-Based Compensation The Company has established the Peabody Energy Corporation 2017 Incentive Plan (the 2017 Incentive Plan) for employees, non-employee directors and consultants that allows for the issuance of share-based compensation in various forms including options (including non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock, performance units, dividend equivalents and cash incentive awards. Under the 2017 Incentive Plan, approximately 14 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock were reserved for issuance. As of December 31, 2021, there are approximately 7.0 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock available for grant. Share-Based Compensation Expense and Cash Flows The Company’s share-based compensation expense is recorded in “Operating costs and expenses” and “Selling and administrative expenses” in the consolidated statements of operations. Cash received by the Company upon the exercise of stock options is reflected as a financing activity in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Share-based compensation expense and cash flow amounts were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 (Dollars in millions) Share-based compensation expense $ 10.0 $ 13.5 $ 38.3 Tax benefit — — — Share-based compensation expense, net of tax benefit $ 10.0 $ 13.5 $ 38.3 Cash received upon the exercise of stock options — — — Write-off tax benefits related to share-based compensation — — — As of December 31, 2021, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested awards was $4.9 million, net of taxes, which is expected to be recognized over 2.5 years with a weighted-average period of 0.6 years. Deferred Stock Units During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company granted deferred stock units to each of the non-employee members of the Board. The fair value of these units is equal to the market price of the Company’s Common Stock at the date of grant. These deferred stock units generally vest on a monthly basis over 12 months and are settled in Common Stock three years after the date of grant. Restricted Stock Units The Company grants restricted stock units to certain senior management and non-senior management employees. For units granted to both senior and non-senior management employees containing only service conditions, the fair value of the award is equal to the market price of the Company’s Common Stock at the date of grant. Units granted to senior and non-senior management employees vest at various times (none of which exceed three years) in accordance with the underlying award agreement. Compensation cost for both senior and non-senior management employees is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The payouts for active grants awarded during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 will be settled in the Company’s Common Stock. A summary of restricted stock unit activity is as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2021 Weighted Nonvested at December 31, 2020 1,629,956 $ 14.49 Granted 752,039 4.14 Vested (826,473) 13.81 Forfeited (451,694) 9.90 Nonvested at December 31, 2021 1,103,828 $ 8.99 The total fair value at grant date of restricted stock units granted during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $3.1 million, $16.6 million and $19.8 million, respectively. The restricted stock units receive dividend equivalent units (DEUs) upon payment of cash dividends to holders of Common Stock. DEUs vest subject to the same vesting requirements as the underlying restricted stock unit award. As of December 31, 2021, there were approximately 7,000 nonvested DEUs. The total fair value of restricted stock units and DEUs vested was $3.3 million, $5.6 million and $40.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In March 2021 the Company entered into a transition agreement with its former chief executive officer which resulted in a modification to restricted stock units granted. Under terms of the agreement, any restricted stock units held by the former chief executive officer that would have vested under their original terms during the twelve months following the specified termination vested upon such date. As a result of this modification, the Company avoided additional compensation expense of approximately $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Performance Units Performance units are typically granted annually in January and vest over a three-year measurement period and are primarily limited to senior management personnel. The performance units are usually subject to the achievement of goals based on the following conditions: three-year return on invested capital and environmental reclamation (performance condition). In addition, the payout of the performance units can be increased or decreased by up to 25% of the award based on three-year stock price performance compared to a custom peer group (market condition). There were no performance units granted during the year ended December 31, 2021. Awards granted during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 will be settled in the Company's Common Stock. A summary of performance unit activity is as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2021 Weighted Nonvested at December 31, 2020 858,588 1.5 Granted — Vested (118,031) Forfeited (89,651) Nonvested at December 31, 2021 650,906 0.7 As of December 31, 2021, there were 131,203 performance units and DEU’s vested that had an aggregate intrinsic value of $0.5 million and a conversion price per share of $3.89. The performance units receive DEUs upon payment of cash dividends to holders of Common Stock. DEUs vest subject to the same vesting requirements as the underlying performance unit award. As of December 31, 2021, there were approximately 17,000 nonvested DEUs. In March 2021 the Company entered into a transition agreement with its former chief executive officer which resulted in a modification to performance units granted. Under terms of the agreement, a portion of the performance units held by the former chief executive officer as of the specified termination date remain eligible to vest based on actual performance through the original performance period. As a result of this modification, the Company avoided additional compensation expense of approximately $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The performance condition awards were valued utilizing the grant date fair values of the Company’s Common Stock adjusted for dividends foregone during the vesting period. The market condition awards were valued utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model which incorporates the total stockholder return hurdles set for each grant. The assumptions used in the valuations for grants were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 Risk-free interest rate — % 1.45 % Expected volatility — % 49.34 % Dividend yield — % — % |

Other Events [Abstract] | |
Other Events | Other Events Restructuring Charges From time to time, the Company initiates restructuring activities to appropriately align its cost structure or optimize coal production relative to prevailing market conditions. Costs associated with restructuring actions can include the impact of early mine closures, voluntary and involuntary workforce reductions, office closures and other related activities. Costs associated with restructuring activities amounted to $8.3 million, $37.9 million, and $24.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and are included as “Restructuring charges” in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. Such costs were primarily associated with voluntary and involuntary workforce reductions. Divestitures and Other Transactions During July 2021, the Company executed transactions to sell its closed Millennium and Wilkie Creek Mines, which reduced its closed mine reclamation liabilities and associated costs. The Millennium Mine was sold for minimal cash consideration and the assumption of the majority of the mine’s reclamation liabilities. The Company will remain responsible for $9.4 million of reclamation liabilities and retains certain royalty rights on future sales. The Company recorded a gain of $26.1 million in connection with the sale, and will recognize royalty revenue when it is deemed collectible. The gain is included within “Net gain on disposals” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Wilkie Creek Mine was sold for minimal cash consideration and full assumption of the mine’s reclamation liabilities. The Company retains certain royalty rights on future sales. The Company recorded a gain of $24.6 million in connection with the sale, and will recognize royalty revenue when it is deemed collectible. The gain is included within “Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. United Wambo Joint Venture with Glencore In December 2019 the Company formed an unincorporated joint venture 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. The Company proportionally consolidates the entity based upon its economic interest. Both parties contributed mining tenements upon formation of the joint venture (United Wambo Joint Venture), and combined operations commenced in December 2020. At that date, the parties contributed mining equipment and other assets, and certain additional construction and development activities are ongoing. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company contributed approximately $59 million and $72 million, respectively, towards construction and development, which is reflected as “Additions to property, plant, equipment and mine development” in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. Glencore is responsible for managing the mining operations of the joint venture. The Company accounted for its interest in the United Wambo Joint Venture at fair value and recognized a gain of $48.1 million, which was classified in “Gain on formation of United Wambo Joint Venture” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2019. North Goonyella The Company’s North Goonyella Mine in Queensland, Australia experienced a fire in 2018 which resulted in the suspension of mining operations. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded provisions for equipment losses of $83.2 million and $66.4 million, respectively, related to the fire. During 2019, the Company collected a $125 million insurance recovery under a property damage and business interruption policy. The Company has incurred containment and idling costs subsequent to the mine’s suspension which amounted to $13.0 million, $32.3 million and $111.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. |

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. For all but 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 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. For further discussion of the Company’s share-based compensation awards, see Note 17. “Share-Based Compensation.” The computation of diluted EPS excluded aggregate share-based compensation awards of less than 0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, and approximately 2.2 million and 1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, 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. Anti-dilution also occurs when a company reports a net loss from continuing operations, and the dilutive impact of all share-based compensation awards are excluded accordingly. The following illustrates the earnings allocation method utilized in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 (In millions, except per share data) EPS numerator: Income (loss) from continuing operations, net of income taxes $ 347.4 $ (1,859.8) $ (188.3) Less: Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests 11.3 (3.5) 26.2 Income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders 336.1 (1,856.3) (214.5) Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes 24.0 (14.0) 3.2 Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders $ 360.1 $ (1,870.3) $ (211.3) EPS denominator: Weighted average shares outstanding — basic 111.1 97.7 103.7 Impact of dilutive securities 0.9 — — Weighted average shares outstanding — diluted 112.0 97.7 103.7 Basic EPS attributable to common stockholders: Income (loss) from continuing operations $ 3.03 $ (18.99) $ (2.07) Income (loss) from discontinued operations 0.21 (0.15) 0.03 Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders $ 3.24 $ (19.14) $ (2.04) Diluted EPS attributable to common stockholders: Income (loss) from continuing operations $ 3.00 $ (18.99) $ (2.07) Income (loss) from discontinued operations 0.22 (0.15) 0.03 Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders $ 3.22 $ (19.14) $ (2.04) |

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract] | |
Management - Labor Relations | Management — Labor Relations On December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately 4,900 employees worldwide, including approximately 3,900 hourly employees; the employee amounts exclude employees that were employed at operations classified as discontinued operations. Approximately 34% of those hourly employees were represented by organized labor unions and were employed by mines that generated 16% of the Company’s 2021 coal production from continuing operations. In the U.S., one mine is represented by an organized labor union. In Australia, the coal mining industry is unionized and the majority of hourly workers employed at the Company’s Australian mining operations are members of trade unions. The Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union (CFMMEU) generally represents the Company’s Australian subsidiaries’ hourly production and engineering employees, including those employed through contract mining relationships. The following table presents the Company’s active and inactive mining operations as of December 31, 2021 in which the employees are represented by organized labor unions: Mine Approximate Number of Active Employees Represented Union Current Agreement Expiration Date or Date Amendable U.S. Kayenta 15 UMWA November 2024 Shoal Creek 280 UMWA December 2024 Australia Wilpinjong 480 CFMMEU June 2024 Coppabella (1) 280 CFMMEU June 2021 Moorvale (2) 150 N/A June 2023 Metropolitan Underground employees 145 CFMMEU May 2025 Handling and preparation plant employees (1) 20 CFMMEU May 2021 Wambo Underground Underground employees 75 CFMMEU November 2025 Handling and preparation plant employees (1) 20 CFMMEU December 2021 (1) The Company and the CFMMEU are currently negotiating a new labor agreement.

Financial Instruments And Guarantees With Off Balance Sheet Risk Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Financial Instruments, Guarantees With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Other Guarantees | Financial Instruments, Guarantees With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk 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 consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2021, such instruments included $1,463.7 million of surety bonds and $452.6 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 consolidated balance sheets. In November 2020, the Company entered into a Surety Agreement with the providers of its surety bond portfolio (Participating Sureties) to resolve previous collateral demands made by the Participating Sureties. In accordance with the Surety Agreement, the Company initially provided $75.0 million of collateral, in the form of letters of credit. Upon completion of the Refinancing Transactions described in Note 11. “Long-term Debt”, other provisions of the Surety Agreement became effective. In particular, the Company granted second liens on $200.0 million of certain mining equipment and will post an additional $25.0 million of collateral per year from 2021 through 2024 for the benefit of the Participating Sureties. The collateral postings further increase to the extent the Company generates more than $100.0 million of free cash flow (as defined in the Surety Agreement) in any twelve-month period or has cumulative asset sales in excess of $10.0 million, as of the last quarter end during the term of the agreement. Based upon the Company’s free cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2021, additional collateral of $13.0 million was posted in January 2022 in the form of letters of credit. Per the Surety Agreement, the Participating Sureties have agreed to a standstill through the earlier of December 31, 2025, or the maturity of the Credit Agreement (currently March 31, 2025), during which time, the Participating Sureties will not demand any additional collateral, draw on letters of credit posted for the benefit of themselves or cancel any existing surety bond. The Company will not pay dividends or make share repurchases during the standstill period, unless otherwise agreed between parties. In connection with the Refinancing Transactions, at the Settlement Date, all letters of credit issued under the Company’s former revolving credit facility were deemed issued under the Company LC Agreement in support of the same obligations. 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 consolidated balance sheets. Reclamation Bonding 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 December 31, 2021, the Company’s asset retirement obligations of $719.8 million were supported by surety bonds of $1,294.7 million, as well as letters of credit issued under the Company’s receivables securitization program and Revolver. Letters of credit issued at December 31, 2021, which served as collateral for surety bonds in support of asset retirement obligations, amounted to $323.0 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 Receivables Purchase Agreement was amended in January 2022 to extend the Securitization Program to January 2025 and reduce the available funding capacity from $250.0 million to $175.0 million. Such funding is 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. 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 bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.5% per annum and 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 December 31, 2021, the Company had no outstanding borrowings and $143.9 million of letters of credit issued under the Securitization Program. The letters of credit were primarily in support of reclamation obligations. Availability under the Securitization Program, which is adjusted for certain ineligible receivables, was $26.3 million at December 31, 2021. The Company was not required to post cash collateral under the Securitization Program at either December 31, 2021 or 2020. The Company incurred interest and fees associated with the Securitization Program of $2.9 million, $2.6 million and $3.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which have been recorded as “Interest expense” in the accompanying statements of operations. Collateralized Letter of Credit Agreement In February 2022, the Company entered into a new agreement, which provides up to $250.0 million of capacity for irrevocable standby letters of credit in support of reclamation bonding. The agreement requires the Company to provide cash collateral at a level of 103% of the aggregate amount of letters of credit outstanding under the arrangement (limited to $5.0 million total excess collateralization.) Outstanding letters of credit bear a fixed fee in the amount of 0.75% per annum. The Company receives a deposit rate of 0.25% per annum on the amount of cash collateral posted in support of letters of credit, with the rate subject to increases over time. The agreement has an initial expiration date of December 31, 2025. Cash 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 employee related matters and the mining, reclamation and shipping of its production. The Company had no such cash collateral or restricted cash requirements as of December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019. Other The Company is the lessee under numerous equipment and property leases. It is common in such commercial lease transactions for the Company, as the lessee, to agree to indemnify the lessor 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). The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have guaranteed other subsidiaries’ performance under various lease obligations. 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 recorded a provision of $0.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2019, for the loss of leased equipment at the North Goonyella Mine as described in Note 19. “Other Events.” 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 Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Commitments Unconditional Purchase Obligations As of December 31, 2021, purchase commitments for capital expenditures were $32.9 million, all of which is obligated within the next four years, with $24.9 million obligated within the next 12 months. In Australia, the Company has generally secured the ability to transport coal through rail contracts and ownership interests in five east coast coal export terminals that are primarily funded through take-or-pay arrangements with terms ranging up to 21 years. In the U.S., the Company has entered into certain long-term coal export terminal agreements to secure export capacity through the Gulf Coast. As of December 31, 2021, these Australian and U.S. commitments under take-or-pay arrangements totaled $1.2 billion, of which approximately $83 million is obligated within the next year. 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 Continuing Operations Securities Class Action. On September 28, 2020, the Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and Retirement System brought a lawsuit, styled In Re Peabody Energy Corporation Securities Litigation No. 1:20-cv-08024 (PKC), against the Company and certain of its officers in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the Court) on behalf of a putative class of shareholders (Plaintiffs) who held Company stock between April 3, 2017 and October 28, 2019, for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder (Securities Class Action). Plaintiffs allege that the defendants made false or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose certain adverse facts pertaining to safety practices at the Company’s North Goonyella Mine and the events leading up to a fire at the mine, and that, after a September 28, 2018 fire at the mine, made false or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose certain adverse facts pertaining to the feasibility of the Company’s plan to restart the mine after the fire. The Company believes the lawsuit lacks merit and intends to vigorously defend against the allegations. On January 12, 2021, the Court appointed the Oregon Public Employees Retirement Fund as lead plaintiff. On January 25, 2021, the Court entered a scheduling order for this matter. Plaintiffs filed their amended complaint on March 19, 2021. The defendants filed a pre-motion letter on April 30, 2021 while the Plaintiffs’ response letter was filed on May 6, 2021. The defendants filed their motion to dismiss on June 7, 2021. The Plaintiffs’ opposition brief to the motion to dismiss was filed on July 22, 2021. The defendants filed their reply to Plaintiff’s opposition on August 23, 2021, completing briefing at this phase of the litigation. Derivative Actions. On December 22, 2020, a plaintiff (Phelps), putatively on behalf of the Company, brought a shareholder derivative lawsuit, styled Phelps v. Samantha Algaze, et al. , Case No. 1:20-cv-01747-UNA (D. Del. filed Dec. 22, 2020), in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against certain directors and former officers of the Company, as defendants. The Company was also named as a nominal defendant. The plaintiff did not make a demand on the Company’s board before instituting the lawsuit and alleges such demand would have been futile. In the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that the defendants failed to disclose adverse facts relating to the safety practices at the Company’s North Goonyella Mine, thereby leading to a September 28, 2018 fire, and allegedly failed to disclose adverse facts pertaining to the feasibility of reopening the mine. The derivative complaint alleges (i) contribution against certain current and former officers for securities fraud based on the Securities Class Action, and against all defendants, (ii) breach of fiduciary duties, (iii) waste of corporate assets for causing the Company to incur legal liability and (iv) unjust enrichment. On February 10, 2021, a second plaintiff (Di Fusco), putatively on behalf of the Company, filed a similar shareholder derivative lawsuit, styled Di Fusco v. Glenn Kellow, et al. , Case No. 1:21-cv-00183-UNA (D. Del. filed Feb. 10, 2021), in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against the directors and current and former officers of the Company, as defendants. The Company was named as a nominal defendant. This suit makes claims similar to those made in the Phelps matter, but asserts a claim for alleged misstatements in a proxy statement under Section 14(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. In late March 2021, the parties filed a stipulation agreeing to consolidate and stay both derivative actions for judicial efficiency and cost until the Court rules on the motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action. The Company also believes that the derivative actions lack merit and intends to vigorously defend against the allegations. 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. The Company reassesses the probability and estimability of contingent losses as new information becomes available. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment and Geographic Information | Segment and Geographic Information The Company reports its results of operations primarily through the following reportable segments: Seaborne Thermal Mining, Seaborne Metallurgical Mining, Powder River Basin Mining, Other U.S. Thermal Mining and Corporate and Other. The business of the Company’s seaborne operating platform is primarily export focused with customers spread across several countries, with a portion of its thermal and metallurgical coal sold within Australia. Generally, revenues from individual countries vary year by year based on electricity and steel demand, the strength of the global economy, governmental policies and several other factors, including those specific to each country. The Company classifies its seaborne mines within the Seaborne Thermal Mining or Seaborne Metallurgical Mining segments based on the primary customer base and coal reserve type of each mining operation. A small portion of the coal mined by the Seaborne Thermal Mining segment is of a metallurgical grade. Similarly, a small portion of the coal mined by the Seaborne Metallurgical Mining segment is of a thermal grade. Additionally, the Company may market some of its metallurgical coal products as a thermal coal product from time to time depending on market conditions. The Company’s Seaborne Thermal Mining operations consist of mines in New South Wales, Australia. The mines in that segment utilize both surface and underground extraction processes to mine low-sulfur, high Btu thermal coal. The Company’s Seaborne Metallurgical Mining operations consist of mines in Queensland, Australia, one in New South Wales, Australia and one in Alabama, USA. The mines in that segment utilize both surface and underground extraction processes to mine various qualities of metallurgical coal. The metallurgical coal qualities include hard coking coal, semi-hard coking coal, semi-soft coking coal and pulverized coal injection coal. The principal business of the Company’s thermal mining segments in the U.S. is the mining, preparation and sale of thermal coal, sold primarily to electric utilities in the U.S. under long-term contracts, with a relatively small portion sold as international exports as conditions warrant. The Company’s Powder River Basin Mining operations consist of its mines in Wyoming. The mines in that segment are characterized by surface mining extraction processes, coal with a lower sulfur content and Btu and higher customer transportation costs (due to longer shipping distances). The Company’s Other U.S. Thermal Mining operations historically reflect the aggregation of its Illinois, Indiana, New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona mining operations. The mines in that segment are characterized by a mix of surface and underground mining extraction processes, coal with a higher sulfur content and Btu and lower customer transportation costs (due to shorter shipping distances). Geologically, the Company’s Powder River Basin Mining operations mine sub-bituminous coal deposits and its Other U.S. Thermal Mining operations mine both bituminous and sub-bituminous coal deposits. The Company’s Corporate and Other segment includes selling and administrative expenses, results from equity affiliates, corporate hedging activities, trading and brokerage activities, minimum charges on certain transportation-related contracts, the closure of inactive mining sites and certain commercial matters. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) uses Adjusted EBITDA as the primary metric to measure the segments’ operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before deducting net interest expense, income taxes, asset retirement obligation expenses and depreciation, depletion and amortization. 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. Segment results for the year ended December 31, 2021 were as follows: Seaborne Thermal Mining Seaborne Metallurgical Mining Powder River Basin Mining Other U.S. Thermal Mining Corporate Consolidated (Dollars in millions) Revenues $ 934.0 $ 727.7 $ 971.2 $ 689.1 $ (3.7) $ 3,318.3 Adjusted EBITDA 353.1 178.2 134.9 164.2 86.3 916.7 Additions to property, plant, equipment and mine development 88.6 25.1 41.4 24.2 3.8 183.1 Income from equity affiliates — — — — (82.1) (82.1) Segment results for the year ended December 31, 2020 were as follows: Seaborne Thermal Mining Seaborne Metallurgical Mining Powder River Basin Mining Other U.S. Thermal Mining Corporate Consolidated (Dollars in millions) Revenues $ 711.8 $ 486.5 $ 991.1 $ 707.3 $ (15.6) $ 2,881.1 Adjusted EBITDA 163.2 (130.2) 194.8 168.4 (137.4) 258.8 Additions to property, plant, equipment and mine development 100.7 50.8 13.2 23.3 3.4 191.4 Loss from equity affiliates — — — — 60.1 60.1 Segment results for the year ended December 31, 2019 were as follows: Seaborne Thermal Mining Seaborne Metallurgical Mining Powder River Basin Mining Other U.S. Thermal Mining Corporate Consolidated (Dollars in millions) Revenues $ 971.7 $ 1,033.1 $ 1,228.7 $ 1,309.4 $ 80.5 $ 4,623.4 Adjusted EBITDA 329.4 140.2 221.2 361.4 (169.2) 883.0 Additions to property, plant, equipment and mine development 42.1 143.4 42.8 54.0 3.1 285.4 Income from equity affiliates — — — — (3.4) (3.4) Asset details are reflected at the division level only for the Company’s mining segments and are not allocated between each individual segment as such information is not regularly reviewed by the Company’s CODM.

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented | Newly Adopted Accounting Standards Equity Method Investments. In January 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-01, which clarifies the interactions between Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 321, ASC 323 and ASC 815. The new guidance addresses accounting for the transition into and out of the equity method and measuring certain purchased options and forward contracts to acquire investments. ASU 2020-01 is effective on January 1, 2021 for calendar year-end public companies. The Company adopted the requirements effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures. Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented Reference Rate Reform. In March 2020, ASU 2020-04 was issued, which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden on accounting for contract modifications caused by reference rate reform (including reform of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or other reference rate reform). This guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The guidance may be adopted over time as reference rate reform activities occur and should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is still completing its evaluation of the impact of the guidance and plans to elect optional expedients as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures. Leases. In November 2021, ASU 2021-09 was issued, which allows lessees to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset, rather than on an entity-wide basis, to use a risk-free rate as the discount rate when measuring and classifying leases. The Company is required to apply the amendments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and for interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures. Government Assistance. In November 2021, ASU 2021-10 was issued, which aims to provide increased transparency by requiring business entities to disclose information about certain types of government assistance they receive in the notes to the financial statements. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early application permitted. The Company does not plan to early adopt the guidance in ASU 2021-10 and the Company does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its disclosures. |
Revenues | Revenues The majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from the sale of coal under long-term coal supply agreements (those with initial terms of one year or longer and which often include price reopener and/or extension provisions) and contracts with terms of less than one year, including sales made on a spot basis. The Company’s revenue from coal sales is realized and earned when control passes to the customer. Under the typical terms of the Company’s coal supply agreements, title and risk of loss transfer to the customer at the mine or port, where coal is loaded to the transportation sources that serve the Company’s mines. The Company incurs certain “add-on” taxes and fees on coal sales. Reported coal sales include taxes and fees charged by various federal and state governmental bodies and the freight charged on destination customer contracts. The Company’s seaborne operating platform is primarily export focused with customers spread across several countries, with a portion of the thermal and metallurgical coal sold within Australia. Generally, revenues from individual countries vary year by year based on electricity and steel demand, the strength of the global economy, governmental policies and several other factors, including those specific to each country. A majority of these sales are executed through annual and multi-year international coal supply agreements that contain provisions requiring both parties to renegotiate pricing periodically. Industry commercial practice, and the Company’s typical practice, is to negotiate pricing for seaborne thermal coal contracts on an annual, spot or index basis and seaborne metallurgical coal contracts on a bi-annual, quarterly, spot or index basis. The portion of sales volume under contracts with a duration of less than one year has increased in recent years. In the case of periodically negotiated pricing, the Company may deliver coal under provisional pricing until a final agreed-upon price is determined. Variable consideration resulting from provisional pricing arrangements is recognized based on the Company’s best estimate of the amount expected to be received at the time control is transferred to the customer. The Company’s U.S. thermal operating platform primarily sells thermal coal to electric utilities in the U.S. under long-term contracts, with a portion sold into the seaborne markets as conditions warrant. A significant portion of the coal production from the U.S. thermal mining segments is sold under existing long-term supply agreements. Certain customers of those segments utilize long-term sales agreements in recognition of the importance of reliability, service and predictable coal prices to their operations. The terms of coal supply agreements result from competitive bidding and extensive negotiations with customers. Consequently, the terms of those agreements may vary in many respects, including price adjustment features, price reopener terms, coal quality requirements, quantity parameters, permitted sources of supply, treatment of environmental constraints, extension options, force majeure and termination and assignment provisions. Contract pricing is set forth on a per ton basis, and revenue is generally recorded as the product of price and volume delivered. Many of the Company’s coal supply agreements contain provisions that permit the parties to adjust the contract price upward or downward at specified times. These contract prices may be adjusted based on inflation or deflation and/or changes in the factors affecting the cost of producing coal, such as taxes, fees, royalties and changes in the laws regulating the mining, production, sale or use of coal. In a limited number of contracts, failure of the parties to agree on a price under those provisions may allow either party to terminate the contract. The Company sometimes experiences a reduction in coal prices in new long-term coal supply agreements replacing some of its expiring contracts. Coal supply agreements also typically contain force majeure provisions allowing temporary suspension of performance by the Company or the customer during the duration of specified events beyond the control of the affected party. Most of the coal supply agreements contain provisions requiring the Company to deliver coal meeting quality thresholds for certain characteristics such as Btu, sulfur content, ash content, grindability and ash fusion temperature. Failure to meet these specifications could result in economic penalties, including price adjustments, the rejection of deliveries or termination of the contracts. Moreover, some of these agreements allow the Company’s customers to terminate their contracts in the event of changes in regulations affecting the industry that restrict the use or type of coal permissible at the customer’s plant or increase the price of coal beyond specified limits. |
Discontinued Operations | Discontinued Operations The Company classifies items within discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements when the operations and cash flows of a particular component of the Company have been (or will be) eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company as a result of a disposal (by sale or otherwise) and represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results.

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale | Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale The Company classifies assets and liabilities (disposal groups) to be sold as held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met: management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the disposal group; the disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such disposal groups; an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the disposal group have been initiated; the sale of the disposal group is probable, and transfer of the disposal group is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year, except if events or circumstances beyond the Company's control extend the period of time required to sell the disposal group beyond one year; the disposal group is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. The Company initially measures a disposal group that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met. Conversely, gains are not recognized on the sale of a disposal group until the date of sale. The Company assesses the fair value of a disposal group, less any costs to sell, each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale and reports any subsequent changes as an adjustment to the carrying value of the disposal group, as long as the new carrying value does not exceed the carrying value of the disposal group at the time it was initially classified as held for sale. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. |
Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in accounts receivable from customers. Customers are invoiced as coal is shipped or at periodic intervals in accordance with contractual terms. Invoices typically include customary adjustments for the resolution of price variability related to prior shipments, such as coal quality thresholds. Payments are generally received within thirty days of invoicing. |
Inventories | Inventories Coal is reported as inventory at the point in time the coal is extracted from the mine. Raw coal represents coal stockpiles that may be sold in current condition or may be further processed prior to shipment to a customer. Saleable coal represents coal stockpiles which require no further processing prior to shipment to a customer. Coal inventory is valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. Coal inventory costs include labor, supplies, equipment (including depreciation thereto) and operating overhead and other related costs incurred at or on behalf of the mining location. Net realizable value considers the projected future sales price of the particular coal product, less applicable selling costs and, in the case of raw coal, estimated remaining processing costs. The valuation of coal inventory is subject to several additional estimates, including those related to ground and aerial surveys used to measure quantities and processing recovery rates. |
Property, Plant, Equipment and Mine Development | Property, Plant, Equipment and Mine Development Property, plant, equipment and mine development are recorded at cost. Interest costs applicable to major asset additions are capitalized during the construction period. There was no capitalized interest in any of the periods presented. Expenditures which extend the useful lives of existing plant and equipment assets are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating costs as incurred. Costs incurred to develop coal mines or to expand the capacity of operating mines are capitalized. Maintenance and repair costs incurred to maintain current production capacity at a mine are charged to operating costs as incurred. Costs to acquire computer hardware and the development and/or purchase of software for internal use are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful lives. Coal reserves and resources are recorded at cost, or at fair value in the case of nonmonetary exchanges of reserves and resources or business acquisitions. Depletion of coal reserves and resources and amortization of advance royalties are computed using the units-of-production method utilizing expected recoverable tons (as adjusted for recoverability factors) in the depletion base. Mine development costs are principally amortized over the estimated lives of the mines using the straight-line method. Depreciation of plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the asset’s estimated useful life or the life of the mine. The estimated useful lives by category of assets are as follows: Years Building and improvements up to 29 Machinery and equipment 1 - 15 Leasehold improvements Shorter of Useful Life or Remaining Life of Lease The Company leases coal reserves under agreements that require royalties to be paid as the coal is mined. Certain agreements also require minimum annual royalties to be paid regardless of the amount of coal mined during the year. Total royalty expense was $263.0 million, $214.7 million and $388.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. A substantial amount of the coal mined by the Company is produced from mineral reserves leased from the owner. One of the major lessors is the U.S. government, from which the Company leases substantially all of the coal it mines in Wyoming under terms set by Congress and administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. These leases are generally for an initial term of ten years but may be extended by diligent development and mining of the reserves until all economically recoverable reserves are depleted. The Company has met the diligent development requirements for substantially all of these federal leases either directly through production, by including the lease as a part of a logical mining unit with other leases upon which development has occurred or by paying an advance royalty in lieu of continued operations. Annual production on these federal leases must total at least 1.0% of the leased reserve or the original amount of coal in the entire logical mining unit in which the leased reserve resides. In addition, royalties are payable monthly at a rate of 12.5% of the gross realization from the sale of the coal mined using surface mining methods and at a rate of 8.0% of the gross realization for coal produced using underground mining methods. The remainder of the leased coal is generally leased from state governments, land holding companies and various individuals. The duration of these leases varies greatly. Typically, the lease terms are automatically extended as long as active mining continues. Royalty payments are generally based upon a specified rate per ton or a percentage of the gross realization from the sale of the coal. Mining and exploration in Australia is generally conducted under leases, licenses or permits granted by the relevant state government. Mining and exploration licenses and their associated environmental protection approvals (granted by the state government, and in some cases also the federal government) contain conditions relating to such matters as minimum annual expenditures, environmental compliance, protection of flora and fauna, restoration and rehabilitation. Royalties are paid to the state government as a percentage of the sales price (less certain allowable deductions in some cases). Generally, landowners do not own the mineral rights or have the ability to grant rights to mine those minerals. These rights are retained by the state government. Compensation is often payable to landowners, occupiers and Aboriginal traditional owners with residual native title rights and interests for the loss of access to the land from the proposed mining activities. The amount and type of compensation and the ability to proceed to grant of a mining tenement may be determined by agreement or court determination, as provided by law. |
Leases | LeasesThe Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use (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 does not separate lease components (i.e., fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes and insurance costs) from non-lease components (i.e., common-area maintenance) and recognizes them as a single lease component for the majority of asset classes. Variable lease payments not included within lease contracts are expensed as incurred. 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. |
Equity Investments | Equity Investments The Company applies the equity method to investments in joint ventures when it has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the joint venture. Investments accounted for under the equity method are initially recorded at cost and any difference between the cost of the Company’s investment and the underlying equity in the net assets of the joint venture at the investment date is amortized over the lives of the related assets that gave rise to the difference. The Company’s pro-rata share of the operating results of joint ventures and basis difference amortization is reported in the consolidated statements of operations in “(Income) loss from equity affiliates.” Similarly, the Company’s pro-rata share of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment of its equity method investments whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar is reported in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income,” with periodic changes thereto reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company monitors its equity method investments for indicators that a decrease in investment value has occurred that is other than temporary. Examples of such indicators include a sustained history of operating losses and adverse changes in earnings and cash flow outlook. In the absence of quoted market prices for an investment, discounted cash flow projections are used to assess fair value, the underlying assumptions to which are generally considered unobservable Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. If the fair value of an investment is determined to be below its carrying value and that loss in fair value is deemed other than temporary, an impairment loss is recognized. No such impairment losses were recorded in any period presented. For the remaining investments, the Company will adjust the carrying value of its investments to fair value based on observable market transactions. The Company also monitors such investments for indicators of impairment should no observable market transactions exist. Refer to Note 3. “Asset Impairment” for details regarding an impairment loss of $9.0 million recorded during the year ended December 31, 2019 related to an investment in an equity security. No such impairment losses were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2021 or 2020. |
Asset Retirement Obligations | Asset Retirement Obligations The Company’s asset retirement obligation (ARO) liabilities primarily consist of spending estimates for surface land reclamation and support facilities at both surface and underground mines in accordance with applicable reclamation laws and regulations in the U.S. and Australia as defined by each mining permit. The Company estimates its ARO liabilities for final reclamation and mine closure based upon detailed engineering calculations of the amount and timing of the future cash spending for a third party to perform the required work. Spending estimates are escalated for inflation and then discounted at the credit-adjusted, risk-free rate. The Company records an ARO asset associated with the discounted liability for final reclamation and mine closure. The obligation and corresponding asset are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. The ARO asset is amortized on the units-of-production method over its expected life and the ARO liability is accreted to the projected spending date. As changes in estimates occur (such as mine plan revisions, changes in estimated costs or changes in timing of the performance of reclamation activities), the revisions to the obligation and asset are recognized at the appropriate credit-adjusted, risk-free rate. The Company also recognizes an obligation for contemporaneous reclamation liabilities incurred as a result of surface mining. Contemporaneous reclamation consists primarily of grading, topsoil replacement and re-vegetation of backfilled pit areas. |
Contingent Liabilities | Contingent Liabilities From time to time, the Company is subject to legal and environmental matters related to its continuing and discontinued operations and certain historical, non-coal producing operations. In connection with such matters, the Company is required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes, as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of reserves required for these matters is made after considerable analysis of each individual issue. The Company accrues for legal and environmental matters within “Operating costs and expenses” when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company provides disclosure surrounding loss contingencies when it believes that it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss may be incurred or an exposure to loss in excess of amounts already accrued may exist. Adjustments to contingent liabilities are made when additional information becomes available that affects the amount of estimated loss, which information may include changes in facts and circumstances, changes in interpretations of law in the relevant courts, the results of new or updated environmental remediation cost studies and the ongoing consideration of trends in environmental remediation costs. Accrued contingent liabilities exclude claims against third parties and are not discounted. The current portion of these accruals is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” and the long-term portion is included in “Other noncurrent liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets. In general, legal fees related to environmental remediation and litigation are charged to expense. The Company includes the interest component of any litigation-related penalties within “Interest expense” in the consolidated statements of operations. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for using a balance sheet approach. The Company accounts for deferred income taxes by applying statutory tax rates in effect at the reporting date of the balance sheet to differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established if it is “more likely than not” that the related tax benefits will not be realized. Significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified including history of tax attribute expiration and cumulative income or loss. In determining the appropriate valuation allowance, the Company considers the projected realization of tax benefits based on expected levels of future taxable income, available tax planning strategies, reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and taxable income in carryback years. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is “more likely than not” the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. To the extent the Company’s assessment of such tax positions changes, the change in estimate will be recorded in the period in which the determination is made. Tax-related interest and penalties are classified as a component of income tax expense. |
Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefits and Pension Plans | Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefits The Company accounts for postretirement benefits other than pensions by accruing the costs of benefits to be provided over the employees’ period of active service. These costs are determined on an actuarial basis. The Company’s consolidated balance sheets reflect the accumulated postretirement benefit obligations of its postretirement benefit plans. The Company accounts for changes in its postretirement benefit obligations as a settlement when an irrevocable action has been effected that relieves the Company of its actuarially-determined liability to individual plan participants and removes substantial risk surrounding the nature, amount and timing of the obligation’s funding and the assets used to effect the settlement. The Company records amounts attributable to actuarial valuation changes currently in earnings rather than recording such amounts within accumulated other comprehensive income and amortizing to expense over applicable time periods. See Note 14. “Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefits” for information related to postretirement benefits. Pension Plans The Company sponsors non-contributory defined benefit pension plans accounted for by accruing the cost to provide the benefits over the employees’ period of active service. These costs are determined on an actuarial basis. The Company’s consolidated balance sheets reflect the funded status of the defined benefit pension plans. The Company records amounts attributable to actuarial valuation changes currently in earnings rather than recording such amounts within accumulated other comprehensive income and amortizing to expense over applicable time periods. See Note 15. “Pension and Savings Plans” for information related to pension plans. |
Restructuring Activities | Restructuring Activities From time to time, the Company initiates restructuring activities in connection with its repositioning efforts to appropriately align its cost structure or optimize its coal production relative to prevailing market conditions. Costs associated with restructuring actions can include early mine closures, voluntary and involuntary workforce reductions, office closures and other related activities. Costs associated with restructuring activities are recognized in the period incurred. Included as a component of “Restructuring charges” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were aggregate restructuring charges of $8.3 million, $37.9 million and $24.3 million, respectively, primarily associated with voluntary and involuntary workforce reductions. As of December 31, 2021, a $0.9 million accrual for restructuring charges remained in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses,” which is expected to be paid in the first quarter of 2022. |
Derivatives | Derivatives The Company recognizes at fair value all contracts meeting the definition of a derivative as assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, with the exception of certain sales contracts for which the Company has elected to apply a normal purchases and normal sales exception. With respect to derivatives used in hedging activities, the Company assesses at hedge inception whether such derivatives are highly effective at offsetting the changes in the anticipated exposure of the hedged item. The change in the fair value of derivatives designated as a cash flow hedge is recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” in the consolidated balance sheets until the hedged transaction impacts reported earnings, at which time any gain or loss is reclassified to earnings. If the hedge ceases to qualify for hedge accounting, the Company prospectively recognizes changes in the fair value of the instrument in earnings in the period of the change. Gains or losses from derivative financial instruments designated as fair value hedges are recognized immediately in earnings, along with the offsetting gain or loss related to the underlying hedged item. The Company’s asset and liability derivative positions are offset on a counterparty-by-counterparty basis if the contractual agreement provides for the net settlement of contracts with the counterparty in the event of default or termination of any one contract. Non-derivative contracts and derivative contracts for which the Company has elected to apply the normal purchases and normal sales exception are accounted for on an accrual basis. |
Business Combinations | Business Combinations The Company accounts for business combinations using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase method requires the Company to determine the fair value of all acquired assets, including identifiable intangible assets and all assumed liabilities. The total cost of acquisitions is allocated to the underlying identifiable net assets, based on their respective estimated fair values. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management’s judgment and the utilization of independent valuation experts, and often involves 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. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company evaluates its long-lived assets held and used in operations for impairment as events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets might not be recoverable. Factors that would indicate potential impairment to be present include, but are not limited to, a sustained history of operating or cash flow losses, an unfavorable change in earnings and cash flow outlook, prolonged adverse industry or economic trends and a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is being used or in its physical condition. The Company generally does not view short-term declines in thermal and metallurgical coal prices as a triggering event for conducting impairment tests because of historic price volatility. However, the Company generally does view a sustained trend of depressed coal pricing (for example, over periods exceeding one year) as an indicator of potential impairment. Because of the volatile and cyclical nature of coal prices and demand, it is reasonably possible that coal prices may decrease and/or fail to improve in the near term, which, absent sufficient mitigation such as an offsetting reduction in the Company’s operating costs, may result in the need for future adjustments to the carrying value of the Company’s long-lived mining assets and mining-related investments. Assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. For its active mining operations, the Company generally groups such assets at the mine level, or the mining complex level for mines that share infrastructure, with the exception of impairment evaluations triggered by mine closures. In those cases involving mine closures, the related assets are evaluated at the individual asset level for remaining economic life based on transferability to ongoing operating sites or for expected salvage. For its development and exploration properties and portfolio of surface land and coal reserve and resource holdings, the Company considers several factors to determine whether to evaluate those assets individually or on a grouped basis for purposes of impairment testing. Such factors include geographic proximity to one another, the expectation of shared infrastructure upon development based on future mining plans and whether it would be most advantageous to bundle such assets in the event of sale to a third party. When indicators of impairment are present, the Company evaluates its long-lived assets for recoverability by comparing the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by those assets under various assumptions to their carrying amounts. If such undiscounted cash flows indicate that the carrying value of the asset group is not recoverable, impairment losses are measured by comparing the estimated fair value of the asset group to its carrying amount. As quoted market prices are unavailable for the Company’s individual mining operations, fair value is determined through the use of an expected present value technique based on the income approach, except for non-strategic coal reserves, resources, surface lands and undeveloped coal properties excluded from the Company’s long-range mine planning. In those cases, a market approach is utilized based on the most comparable market multiples available. The estimated future cash flows and underlying assumptions used to assess recoverability and, if necessary, measure the fair value of the Company’s long-lived mining assets are derived from those developed in connection with the Company’s planning and budgeting process. The Company believes its assumptions to be consistent with those a market participant would use for valuation purposes. The most critical assumptions underlying the Company’s projections and fair value estimates include those surrounding future tons sold, coal prices for unpriced coal, production costs (including costs for labor, commodity supplies and contractors), transportation costs, foreign currency exchange rates and a risk-adjusted, cost of capital (all of which generally constitute unobservable Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy), in addition to market multiples for non-strategic coal reserves, resources, surface lands and undeveloped coal properties excluded from the Company’s long-range mine planning (which generally constitute Level 2 inputs under the fair value hierarchy). Refer to Note 3. “Asset Impairment” for details regarding impairment charges related to long-lived assets of $1,487.4 million and $261.2 million recognized during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. There were no impairment charges related to long-lived assets during the year ended December 31, 2021. |
Fair Value | Fair ValueFor assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements, the Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. |
Foreign Currency | Foreign Currency Functional currency is determined by the primary economic environment in which an entity operates, which for the Company’s foreign operations is generally the U.S. dollar because sales prices in international coal markets and the Company’s sources of financing those operations are denominated in that currency. Accordingly, substantially all of the Company’s consolidated foreign subsidiaries utilize the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at year-end exchange rates while non-monetary items are remeasured at historical rates. Income and expense accounts are remeasured at the average rates in effect during the year, except for those expenses related to balance sheet amounts that are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Gains and losses from foreign currency remeasurement related to tax balances are included as a component of “Income tax provision,” while all other remeasurement gains and losses are included in “Operating costs and expenses” in the consolidated statements of operations. The total impact of foreign currency remeasurement on the consolidated statements of operations was a net loss of $3.1 million, $4.0 million, and $2.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, |
Share-Based Compensation | Share-Based Compensation The Company accounts for share-based compensation at the grant date fair value of awards and recognizes the related expense over the service period of the awards. See Note 17. “Share-Based Compensation” for information related to share-based compensation. |
Exploration and Drilling Costs | Exploration and Drilling Costs Exploration expenditures are charged to operating costs as incurred, including costs related to drilling and study costs incurred to convert or upgrade mineral resources to reserves. |
Advance Stripping Costs | Advance Stripping Costs Pre-production. At existing surface operations, additional pits may be added to increase production capacity in order to meet customer requirements. These expansions may require significant capital to purchase additional equipment, expand the workforce, build or improve existing haul roads and create the initial pre-production box cut to remove overburden (that is, advance stripping costs) for new pits at existing operations. If these pits operate in a separate and distinct area of the mine, the costs associated with initially uncovering coal (that is, advance stripping costs incurred for the initial box cuts) for production are capitalized and amortized over the life of the developed pit consistent with coal industry practices. Post-production. Advance stripping costs related to post-production are expensed as incurred. Where new pits are routinely developed as part of a contiguous mining sequence, the Company expenses such costs as incurred. The development of a contiguous pit typically reflects the planned progression of an existing pit, thus maintaining production levels from the same mining area utilizing the same employee group and equipment. |
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements | Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP). In doing so, estimates and assumptions are made that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions deemed reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from these estimates. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, accounting for sales and cost recognition, postretirement benefit plans, environmental receivables and liabilities, asset retirement obligations, evaluation of long-lived assets for impairment, income taxes including deferred tax assets, fair value measurements and contingencies. |
Corporate Hedging - Coal Trading | 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. 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 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. |
Fair Value Transfer, Policy | The Company’s policy is to value all transfers between levels using the beginning of period valuation. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Textuals | ||||
Corporate Hedging | 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.
