The Company uses words such as "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "may," "forecast," "project," "should," "estimate," "plan," "outlook," "target," "likely," "will," "to be" or other similar words to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date the release was filed and are based on numerous assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable, but these assumptions are open to a wide range of uncertainties and business risks that may cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. These factors are difficult to accurately predict and may be beyond the Company's control. Such factors include, but are not limited to those described in the Company’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and Exhibit 99.2 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 11, 2017. Factors that could affect the Company’s results or an investment in its securities include but are not limited to: competition in the energy market and supply and demand for the Company's products, including the impact of alternative energy sources, such as natural gas and renewables; global steel demand and the downstream impact on metallurgical coal prices, and lower demand for the Company's products by electric power generators; customer procurement practices and contract duration; the impact of weather and natural disasters on demand, production and transportation; reductions and/or deferrals of purchases by major customers and the Company's ability to renew sales contracts; credit and performance risks associated with customers, suppliers, contract miners, co-shippers, and trading, bank and other financial counterparties; geologic, equipment, permitting, site access, operational risks and new technologies related to mining; transportation availability, performance and costs; availability, timing of delivery and costs of key supplies, capital equipment or commodities such as diesel fuel, steel, explosives and tires; impact of take-or-pay arrangements for rail and port commitments for the delivery of coal; successful implementation of business strategies, including, without limitation, the actions the Company is implementing to improve its organization and respond to current conditions; negotiation of labor contracts, employee relations and workforce availability, including, without limitation, attracting and retaining key personnel; changes in postretirement benefit and pension obligations and their related funding requirements; replacement and development of coal reserves; effects of changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates (primarily the Australian dollar); the Company’s ability to successfully consummate acquisitions or divestitures, and the resulting effects thereof; economic strength and political stability of countries in which the Company has operations or serves customers; legislation, regulations and court decisions or other government actions, including, but not limited to, new environmental and mine safety requirements, changes in income tax regulations, sales-related royalties, or other regulatory taxes and changes in derivative laws and regulations; the Company's ability to obtain and renew permits necessary for the Company's operations; the Company's ability to appropriately secure its requirements for reclamation, federal and state workers' compensation, federal coal leases and other obligations related to the Company's operations, including its ability to utilize self-bonding and/or successfully access the commercial surety bond market; litigation or other dispute resolution, including, but not limited to, claims not yet asserted; terrorist attacks or security threats, including, but not limited to, cybersecurity breaches; impacts of pandemic illnesses; any lack of an established market for certain of the Company’s securities, including the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and potential dilution of its common stock due to future issuances of equity securities; price volatility in the Company’s securities; short-sales in the Company’s common stock; any conflicts of interest between the Company’s significant shareholders and other holders of its capital stock; the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash to service all of its indebtedness; the limits placed by the Company’s debt instruments and capital structure on its ability to pay dividends and repurchase common stock; the Company’s ability to comply with financial and other restrictive covenants in various agreements, including its debt instruments; and other risks detailed in the Company's reports filed with the SEC. The Company does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements except as required by law. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before deducting net interest expense, income taxes, asset retirement obligation expenses, depreciation, depletion and amortization and reorganization items, net. Adjusted EBITDA is also adjusted for the discrete items that management excluded in analyzing the segments' operating performance as displayed in the reconciliation. A reconciliation of income (loss) from continuing operations, net of income taxes to Adjusted EBITDA is included at the end of this document. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management as one of the primary metrics to measure the Company’s operating performance. Management also 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. Adjusted EBITDAR is a non-GAAP measure defined as Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted to exclude the impact of certain employee compensation programs related to the Chapter 11 Cases, restructuring charges, the voluntary employee beneficiary association (VEBA) settlement with the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) and corporate hedging. A reconciliation of income (loss) from continuing operations, net of income taxes to Adjusted EBITDAR is included at the end of this document. Adjusted EBITDAR is used by management as one of the primary metrics to measure the Company’s operating performance. Management also 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 EBITDAR 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.

U.S. Operations – Costs Per Ton PRB $9.75 – $10.25 ILB $31.25 – $33.25 Total U.S. $14.50 – $15.00

2017 Targets 1 Metallurgical coal sales volumes may range from ~50%-60% PCI and ~40%-50% coking coal (including semi-hard and semi-soft coking coals). Approximately 45%-55% of seaborne metallurgical sales may be executed on a spot basis, with the remainder priced under quarterly contracts. The company also has exposure to approximately 2 million tons of metallurgical coal related to the Middlemount Mine, a 50/50 joint venture accounted for in (Income) Loss from Equity Affiliates.   Peabody’s North Goonyella and Coppabella mines have the ability to set the premium HCC benchmark and premium LV PCI benchmark, respectively, with the remainder of products sold at discounts based on coal qualities and properties. On a weighted-average basis across all metallurgical products, Peabody typically realizes approximately 85%-90% of the premium HCC benchmark price for its coking products, and 90%-95% of the premium LV PCI benchmark price for its PCI products.   In Q1 2017, the ratio of the premium LV PCI benchmark price to the premium HCC benchmark price was ~63%.   2 Approximately 60% of seaborne thermal sales are executed on a spot basis, with the remainder sold under longer-term contracts. A portion of Peabody’s seaborne thermal coal products sell at or above the Newcastle index, with the remainder sold at discounts relative to the Newcastle index based on coal qualities and properties. On a weighted-average basis across all seaborne thermal products, Peabody realizes approximately 90%-95% of the Newcastle index price.   3 Assumes 2Q – 4Q 2017 average 2017 A$ FX rate of $0.75.   4 Sensitivities reflect approximate impacts of changes in variables on financial performance. When realized, actual impacts may differ significantly.   5 As of May 4, 2017, Peabody had purchased call options in aggregate notional amount of approximately AUD $1.3 billion to manage market price volatility associated with the Australian dollar at an average strike price of ~$0.77 and settlement dates through December 2017. Sensitivities provided are relative to an assumed average A$ rate of $0.75 for remainder of 2017.   Note 1: Peabody classifies its Australian Metallurgical or Thermal Mining segments based on the primary customer base and reserve type. A small portion of the coal mined by the Australian Metallurgical Mining segment is of a thermal grade and vice versa. Peabody may market some of its metallurgical coal products as a thermal product from time to time depending on industry conditions. Per ton metrics presented are non-GAAP measures. Due to the volatility and variability of certain items needed to reconcile these measures to their nearest GAAP measure, no reconciliation can be provided without unreasonable cost or effort.  Guidance does not reflect the impact of fresh start accounting.   Note 2: A sensitivity to changes in seaborne pricing should consider Peabody’s estimated split of PCI and coking coal products, the ratio of premium LV PCI to premium HCC benchmark prices, the weighted average discounts across all products to the applicable premium HCC or premium LV PCI benchmark or Newcastle index prices, in addition to impacts on sales-related costs in Australia, and applicable conversions between short tons and metric tonnes as necessary.   Note 3: Peabody would have approximately 137.3 million shares of common stock issued, assuming full conversion of Peabody’s preferred stock (including make-whole shares issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock) and full exercise of all warrants issued in connection with the company’s emergence from Chapter 11. The fully converted shares issued value excludes shares underlying unvested equity awards under Peabody’s long-term incentive plan. As of April 26, holders of approximately 36% of preferred stock issued at emergence had converted their shares into common stock.
