ALLIANCE RESOURCE PARTNERS, L.P.
Reports Annual Increases to Revenues, Net Income, EBITDA and Coal Production and Record Coal Sales Volumes; Increases Quarterly Cash Distribution 1.0% to $0.53 Per Unit; and Provides Initial 2019 Guidance
TULSA, OKLAHOMA, January 28, 2019 — Alliance Resource Partners, L.P. (NASDAQ: ARLP) today reported financial and operating results for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2018 (the "2018 Year" and "2018 Quarter", respectively).
For the 2018 Year, on the strength of record coal sales volumes and higher coal sales prices, total revenues increased 11.5% to $2.0 billion compared to the year ended December 31, 2017 (the "2017 Year"). Net income attributable to ARLP increased 20.7% to $366.6 million for the 2018 Year, compared to $303.6 million for the 2017 Year. Net income attributable to ARLP per basic and diluted limited partner unit was $2.74 for the 2018 Year compared to $2.80 for the 2017 Year as higher net income was offset by increased weighted-average common units outstanding due to the issuance of additional common units pursuant to the July 2017 Exchange Transaction. EBITDA increased 12.2% in the 2018 Year to $686.9 million compared to $612.1 million in the 2017 Year.
For the 2018 Quarter, $40.5 million of non-cash asset impairment charges negatively impacted earnings. Absent these charges (discussed in more detail below), the 2018 Quarter financial results compared favorably to both the quarter ended December 31, 2017 (the "2017 Quarter") and the quarter ended September 30, 2018 (the "Sequential Quarter"). Increased coal sales volumes and prices in the 2018 Quarter led ARLP's revenues higher by 10.1% to $531.8 million compared to $483.2 million for the 2017 Quarter. The asset impairment charges contributed to a 31.6% decrease in net income attributable to ARLP for the 2018 Quarter to $50.8 million, or $0.38 per basic and diluted limited partner unit, compared to $74.2 million, or $0.55 per basic and diluted limited partner unit, for the 2017 Quarter. EBITDA also decreased 14.7% to $136.4 million in the 2018 Quarter compared to $159.8 million for the 2017 Quarter.
(For a definition of EBITDA and related reconciliation to comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the end of this release. For actual and pro forma earnings per basic and diluted limited partner unit reflecting the Simplification and Exchange Transactions as if the transactions had occurred on January 1, 2017, please see the end of this release.)

ARLP’s comparative results for 2018 and 2017 were impacted by the following items:
· | 2018 results include an $80.0 million settlement gain recorded in March 2018 upon resolution of litigation related to a coal supply agreement and $40.5 million of non-cash impairment charges in the 2018 Quarter comprised of (i) a $34.3 million impairment related to an uncertain mine life at our Dotiki mine and (ii) a $6.2 million impairment of certain coal reserves in Illinois. |
· | 2017 results include an $8.1 million debt extinguishment loss related to ARLP's early repayment of its Series B Senior Notes in May 2017. |
Excluding these items, Adjusted net income attributable to ARLP increased 4.9% to $327.1 million for the 2018 Year, compared to $311.8 million for the 2017 Year, and Adjusted EBITDA for the 2018 Year increased 4.4% to $647.4 million, compared to $620.3 million for the 2017 Year. Comparing the 2018 Quarter to the 2017 Quarter, Adjusted net income attributable to ARLP increased 22.9% to $91.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased 10.7% to $176.8 million. ARLP’s Adjusted net income attributable to ARLP and Adjusted EBITDA for the 2018 Quarter also increased compared to the Sequential Quarter by 23.9% and 15.0%, respectively. (For definitions of Adjusted net income attributable to ARLP and Adjusted EBITDA and related reconciliations to comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the end of this release.)
ARLP also announced that the Board of Directors of its general partner (the "Board") increased the cash distribution to unitholders for the 2018 Quarter to $0.53 per unit (an annualized rate of $2.12 per unit), payable on February 14, 2019 to all unitholders of record as of the close of trading on February 7, 2019. The announced distribution represents a 3.9% increase over the cash distribution of $0.51 per unit for the 2017 Quarter and a 1.0% increase over the cash distribution of $0.525 per unit for the Sequential Quarter.
Commenting on the year, Joseph W. Craft III, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "ARLP entered 2018 with expectations for strong operating and financial results and continued execution on its strategic objective to generate future growth in cash flow. Our performance certainly met those expectations. Capitalizing on positive fundamentals in the domestic and international coal markets in 2018, we grew our production by 7.1%, delivered record coal sales volumes, improved coal sales price realizations and posted higher year-over-year revenues, net income and EBITDA."
Mr. Craft added, "ARLP’s exceptional performance generated strong cash flow in 2018 and supported meaningful return of cash to unitholders. During 2018, the Board elected to increase distributions per unit 3.9% and ARLP repurchased approximately 3.7 million units for approximately $70.6 million in open market transactions."
Consolidated Financial Results
Year Ended December 31, 2018 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2017
Coal sales revenues increased by 7.8% to $1.84 billion for the 2018 Year compared to $1.71 billion for the 2017 Year due primarily to record coal sales volumes. For the 2018 Year, the re-opening of the Gibson North mine and adding a continuous mining unit at our River View mine helped drive total coal sales volumes up 6.9% to 40.4 million tons and production volumes higher by 7.1% to 40.3 million tons compared to the 2017 Year. Transportation revenues and expenses increased to $112.4 million in the 2018 Year from $41.7 million in the 2017 Year primarily due to increased coal shipments to the international markets.
Increased coal sales volumes in the 2018 Year also led operating expenses higher to $1.21 billion, an increase of 10.6% compared to $1.09 billion for the 2017 Year. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense per ton increased 3.8%
-MORE-
to $29.98 primarily as a result of difficult mining conditions encountered at several mines, higher roof support expense and additional longwall move days in the 2018 Year. Compared to the 2017 Year, depreciation, depletion and amortization increased 4.2% to $280.2 million in the 2018 Year as a result of the previously discussed increase in coal sales volumes.
Increased earnings from our investments in oil and gas mineral interests led equity method investment income higher by $8.3 million in the 2018 Year compared to the 2017 Year. Equity securities income increased $9.3 million to $15.7 million in the 2018 Year compared to $6.4 million for the 2017 Year due to increased distributions from our preferred investment in gas compression services.
Three Months Ended December 31, 2018 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2017
Coal sales revenues for the 2018 Quarter increased 6.6% to $484.9 million, compared to $454.9 million for the 2017 Quarter, due to increased coal sales volumes and prices. Coal sales volumes of 10.5 million tons were 3.6% higher than the 2017 Quarter, primarily reflecting increased export volumes from our Gibson South mine and increased volumes resulting from the resumption of operations in the second quarter of 2018 at our Gibson North mine. Coal sales prices increased 2.9% to $46.34 per ton sold for the 2018 Quarter, compared to $45.03 per ton sold for the 2017 Quarter, primarily as a result of higher price realizations from our Appalachian mines. Transportation revenues and expenses increased to $36.4 million in the 2018 Quarter from $16.8 million in the 2017 Quarter primarily due to increased export shipments.
Compared to the 2017 Quarter, operating expenses increased 4.5% to $310.9 million, resulting from increased coal sales volumes. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense of $29.75 per ton in the 2018 Quarter was comparable to $29.48 per ton in the 2017 Quarter. (For a definition of Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense per ton and related reconciliation to comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the end of this release.)
General and administrative expenses increased $3.0 million to $18.8 million in the 2018 Quarter, primarily due to higher incentive compensation expenses. Equity method investment income was $7.6 million in the 2018 Quarter compared to $3.4 million in the 2017 Quarter due to increased income from our investments in oil and gas minerals.

The resumption of operations at our Gibson North mine in the 2018 second quarter and strong sales performance at our Gibson South and River View mines drove Illinois Basin coal sales volumes in the 2018 Quarter higher by 8.0% to 8.0 million tons compared to the 2017 Quarter. Appalachia coal sales volumes decreased 8.4% compared to the 2017 Quarter due to lower sales volumes from our MC Mining and Mettiki mines. Tons sold increased sequentially by 10.1% in the Illinois Basin primarily due to increased coal sales volumes at our Gibson North, Hamilton and River View mines in the 2018 Quarter as well as a longwall move during the Sequential Quarter at our Hamilton mine. In Appalachia, coal sales volumes decreased 12.1% compared to the Sequential Quarter primarily due to reduced recoveries and fewer longwall unit shifts at our Tunnel Ridge mine in the 2018 Quarter. ARLP ended the 2018 Quarter with total coal inventory of approximately 600,000 tons, a reduction of approximately 100,000 tons and 300,000 tons compared to the end of the 2017 and Sequential Quarters, respectively.
Illinois Basin coal sales price per ton sold in the 2018 Quarter increased 2.9% due to improved domestic market conditions and higher export sales prices compared to the 2017 Quarter. In Appalachia, increased export sales prices for metallurgical coal at our Mettiki mine and improved prices at our MC Mining and Tunnel Ridge mines led coal sales prices higher by 6.5% and 7.4% per ton sold in the 2018 Quarter compared to the 2017 and Sequential Quarters, respectively.
In the Illinois Basin, Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense per ton increased 4.9% compared to the 2017 Quarter primarily due to reduced recoveries at our Hamilton and River View mines. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense per ton in Appalachia decreased 3.5% compared to the 2017 Quarter reflecting increased recoveries and lower selling expenses at Tunnel Ridge during the 2018 Quarter. Compared to the Sequential Quarter, Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense per ton decreased 4.6% in the Illinois Basin resulting primarily from increased production and improved productivity at our Hamilton mine in the 2018 Quarter following a longwall move and difficult mining conditions encountered at the mine during the Sequential Quarter. In Appalachia, Segment

Adjusted EBITDA Expense per ton increased 4.5% compared to the Sequential Quarter primarily due to decreased production and reduced recoveries at our Tunnel Ridge mine in the 2018 Quarter.
Market Update and Outlook
"ARLP anticipates its strong operating and financial performance will continue in 2019," said Mr. Craft. "Current domestic coal market fundamentals are favorable as cold weather across much of the eastern U.S. has increased coal burn and reduced utility stockpiles in ARLP’s markets. Customers in our markets have been actively securing tons and our strategically located, low-cost operations have allowed ARLP to expand its domestic coal contract book. With positive international coal market fundamentals intact, ARLP has already secured commitments to export approximately 8.0 million tons this year. Realizing the full year benefits of the production units added in 2018, ARLP is expecting 2019 coal production and sales volumes to increase by approximately 10.0% each at the midpoint of our 2019 guidance. Increased volumes along with continued strong cost performance by our mines and a stable price environment are expected to drive solid results from ARLP’s coal operations in 2019."
Mr. Craft continued, "We also expect ARLP’s financial results from our oil and gas activities will increase meaningfully in 2019 and the years ahead. With ARLP’s recent mineral interests acquisition, the EBITDA contribution in 2019 from oil and gas royalties is currently estimated in a range of $37.0 to $47.0 million. Strong performance from our coal operations and increasing contributions from ARLP’s oil and gas royalty platform are expected to generate healthy distributable cash flow to support our continuing goal of increasing quarterly distributions for the foreseeable future."

Reconciliation of GAAP "net income attributable to ARLP" to non-GAAP "Adjusted net income attributable to ARLP" (in thousands).
Adjusted net income is defined as net income attributable to ARLP modified for certain items that may not reflect the trend of future results, such as settlement gains, asset impairments and debt extinguishment losses.
Adjusted net income attributable to ARLP should not be considered as an alternative to net income attributable to ARLP or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net income attributable to ARLP excludes certain items that management believes affect the comparability of our operating results. This adjusted financial measure is used by our management and external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others, to assess:
· | our operational trends and performance relative to other coal companies; |
· | the comparability of our performance to earnings estimates provided by security analysts; and |
· | our performance excluding items which are generally nonrecurring in nature or whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably estimated. |
We believe Adjusted net income attributable to ARLP is a useful measure for investors because it further demonstrates our financial performance without regard to items that may not reflect the trend of future results.

Reconciliation of GAAP "net income attributable to ARLP" to non-GAAP "EBITDA," "Adjusted EBITDA" and "Distributable Cash Flow" (in thousands).
EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to ARLP before net interest expense, income taxes and depreciation, depletion and amortization and Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA modified for certain items that may not reflect the trend of future results, such as settlement gains, asset impairments and debt extinguishment losses. Distributable cash flow ("DCF") is defined as Adjusted EBITDA excluding interest expense (before capitalized interest), interest income, income taxes and estimated maintenance capital expenditures. Distribution coverage ratio ("DCR") is defined as DCF divided by distributions paid to partners.
Management believes that the presentation of such additional financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our performance and results of operations because these measures, when used in conjunction with related GAAP financial measures, (i) provide additional information about our core operating performance and ability to generate and distribute cash flow, (ii) provide investors with the financial analytical framework upon which management bases financial, operational, compensation and planning decisions and (iii) present measurements that investors, rating agencies and debt holders have indicated are useful in assessing us and our results of operations.
-MORE-
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, DCF and DCR should not be considered as alternatives to net income attributable to ARLP, net income, income from operations, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and DCF are not intended to represent cash flow and do not represent the measure of cash available for distribution. Our method of computing EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, DCF and DCR may not be the same method used to compute similar measures reported by other companies, or EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, DCF and DCR may be computed differently by us in different contexts (i.e. public reporting versus computation under financing agreements).

(1) | Our maintenance capital expenditures are those capital expenditures required to maintain, over the long-term, the operating capacity of our capital assets. We estimate maintenance capital expenditures on an annual basis based upon a five-year planning horizon. For the 2019 planning horizon, average annual estimated maintenance capital expenditures are assumed to be $5.57 per ton produced compared to the estimated $4.72 per ton produced in 2018. Reflecting the timing of rebuild schedules, major infrastructure projects and extension capital, we are currently estimating actual maintenance capital expenditures in 2019 of approximately $7.43 per ton produced. Our actual maintenance capital expenditures fluctuate depending on various factors, including maintenance schedules and timing of capital projects, among others. We annually disclose our actual maintenance capital expenditures in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC. |
Reconciliation of GAAP "Operating Expenses" to non-GAAP "Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense per ton" and Reconciliation of non-GAAP "Adjusted EBITDA" to "Segment Adjusted EBITDA" and "Segment Adjusted EBITDA per ton" (in thousands, except per ton data).
Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense per ton includes operating expenses, coal purchases and other expense divided by tons sold. Transportation expenses are excluded as these expenses are passed through to our customers and, consequently, we do not realize any margin on transportation revenues. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense is used as a supplemental financial measure by our management to assess the operating performance of our segments. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense is a key component of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in addition to coal sales and other sales and operating revenues. The exclusion of corporate general and

administrative expenses from Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense allows management to focus solely on the evaluation of segment operating performance as it primarily relates to our operating expenses.

(1) | Operating expenses and other expense for the 2017 Quarter and 2017 Year have been recast to reflect the reclass of the non-service components of net benefit cost previously included in operating expense now being presented within other expense in accordance with new generally accepted accounting principles effective in 2018. |
Segment Adjusted EBITDA per ton is defined as net income attributable to ARLP before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, general and administrative expenses, settlement gain, debt extinguishment loss and asset impairment divided by tons sold. Segment Adjusted EBITDA removes the impact of general and administrative expenses from Adjusted EBITDA (discussed above) to allow management to focus solely on the evaluation of segment operating performance.
