NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
----------------------------------------------------
March 31, 2002
--------------
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
- ------------------------------
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future
periods.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2001 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all the footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes for the transitional period ended December 31, 2001 included in CONSOL
Energy Inc.'s (CONSOL Energy) Form 10-K, as filed on March 29, 2002.
CONSOL Energy changed from a fiscal year ending June 30 to a fiscal year ending
December 31. CONSOL Energy had a transitional period ending December 31, 2001.
CONSOL Energy's first full year ending December 31 started January 1, 2002 and
ends December 31, 2002. CONSOL Energy has made this change in order to align its
fiscal year with that of RWE AG, which beneficially owns directly or through
subsidiaries approximately 74% of the common stock of CONSOL Energy.
Certain reclassifications of the prior year's data have been made to conform to
the three months ended March 31, 2002 classifications.
NOTE 2 - ACQUISITION:
- --------------------
On December 7, 2001, in order to expand its international market share, CONSOL
Energy purchased for $17,950, a 50% interest in the Glennies Creek Mine, which
is currently under development in New South Wales, Australia. Glennies Creek
produces a high fluidity coking coal that will be sold primarily to steel makers
in the Asia-Pacific region. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase
and accordingly, since the date of acquisition the operating results of Glennies
Creek Mine have been included in CONSOL Energy's consolidated financial
statements using the equity method of accounting. Pro forma net income and
earnings per share of CONSOL Energy, after giving effect to certain purchase
accounting adjustments, would not materially change for the three months ended
March 31, 2001.
6
On August 22, 2001, in order to expand existing gas operations, CONSOL Energy
purchased the remaining 50% interest in the coalbed methane reserves and the
remaining 25% interest in the production and gathering assets in southwestern
Virginia of Pocahontas Gas Partnership and Cardinal States Gathering Company for
$155,312. Prior to the acquisition, CONSOL Energy owned 50% and 75%,
respectively, of these two entities. The acquisition has been accounted for as a
purchase and, accordingly, the operating results for the portion of Pocahontas
Gas Partnership and Cardinal States Gathering Company previously reported on the
equity method and the newly acquired portions have been included in CONSOL
Energy's operating results using full consolidation since the date of
acquisition. The pro forma results, assuming the acquisition of the interests in
these entities had occurred January 1, 2001, are estimated to be:
Pro forma
Three Months Ended
March 31, 2001
------------------
Revenues $650,659
Net income $104,795
Net income per common share:
Basic $1.33
Diluted $1.32
The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what actually would have
occurred if the acquisition of the interest in these entities had been completed
as of the beginning of the period presented, nor are they necessarily indicative
of future consolidated results.
On July 2, 2001, CONSOL Energy entered into agreements with American Electric
Power to supply coal to various American Electric Power coal-fired power plants.
CONSOL Energy purchased, for a nominal amount, the stock of Windsor Coal
Company, Southern Ohio Coal Company and Central Ohio Coal Company, subsidiaries
of American Electric Power which owns mines in Ohio and West Virginia. Under the
agreements, CONSOL Energy will supply approximately 34 million tons of coal
through 2008. These tons will be supplied by the former American Electric Power
affiliated mines and by other CONSOL Energy mines. The former American Electric
Power affiliated mines all have limited economically mineable reserves. The
Meigs 31 mine of Southern Ohio Coal Company was closed on October 24, 2001 and
the Muskingham surface mine of Central Ohio Coal Company closed on December 14,
2001. The Meigs 2 mine of Southern Ohio Coal Company closed on March 6, 2002.
CONSOL Energy will expand its McElroy and Robinson Run Mines to meet the new
supply agreement requirements as the former American Electric Power mines
deplete.
As part of this acquisition, CONSOL Energy assumed approximately $239,000 of
long-term liabilities related to employee and mine closure liabilities in this
acquisition, as well as other current liabilities. American Electric Power paid
CONSOL Energy $336,000 in cash. Subsequent to the acquisition, the cash included
as part of the acquisition was used by CONSOL Energy to reduce a portion of its
short-term debt. For income tax purposes, an election was made to treat the
stock acquisition as a purchase of assets. Therefore, an income tax liability
was recognized as part of the acquisition based upon the excess of the assets
received over the tax liabilities assumed. The acquisition has been accounted
for as a purchase and, accordingly, the operating results of Windsor Coal
Company, Southern Ohio Coal Company and Central Ohio Coal Company have been
included in CONSOL Energy's operating results
7
since the date of acquisition. The pro forma results, assuming the acquisition
of the interests in these entities had occurred January 1, 2001, are estimated
to be:
Pro forma
Three Months Ended
March 31, 2001
------------------
Revenues $714,544
Net income $104,008
Net income per common share:

The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what actually would have
occurred if the acquisition of the interest in these entities had been completed
as of the beginning of the period presented, nor are they necessarily indicative
of future consolidated results.

========= ============
NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
- --------------------------------------
CONSOL Energy has various purchase commitments for materials, supplies and items
of permanent investment incidental to the ordinary conduct of business. Such
commitments are not at prices in excess of current market values.
One of CONSOL Energy's subsidiaries, Fairmont Supply Company, which distributes
industrial supplies, currently is named as a defendant in a number of asbestos
cases in state courts in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Mississippi.
Because a very small percentage of products manufactured by third parties and
supplied by Fairmont in the past may have contained asbestos and many of the
pending claims are part of mass complaints filed by hundreds of plaintiffs
against a hundred or more defendants, it has been difficult for Fairmont to
determine how many of the cases actually involve valid claims or plaintiffs who
were actually exposed to asbestos-containing products supplied by Fairmont. In
addition, while Fairmont may be entitled to indemnity or contribution in certain
jurisdictions from manufacturers of identified products, the availability of
such indemnity or contribution is unclear at this time and, in recent years,
some of the manufacturers named as defendants in these actions have sought
protection from these claims under bankruptcy laws. Fairmont has no insurance
coverage with respect to these asbestos cases. To date, payments by Fairmont
with respect to asbestos cases have not been material. However, there cannot be
any assurance that payments in the future with respect to pending or future
asbestos cases will not be material to the financial position, results of
operations or cash flows of CONSOL Energy.
CONSOL Energy is subject to various lawsuits and claims with respect to such
matters as personal injury, wrongful death, damage to property, exposure to
hazardous substances, governmental regulations including environmental
remediation, employment and contract disputes, and other claims and actions
arising out of the normal course of business. In addition, CONSOL Energy has
recognized a liability related to a waste disposal site and accrued $3,275 in
Other Liabilities. CONSOL Energy has paid $1,909 cumulatively ($358 in the three
months ended March 31, 2002) related to the remediation of this waste disposal
site and, accordingly, reduced the liability to $1,366. In the opinion of
management, the ultimate liabilities resulting from such pending lawsuits and
claims will not materially affect the financial position, results of operations
or cash flows of CONSOL Energy.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
General
Total coal sales for the three months ended March 31, 2002 were 17.4 million
tons, including a portion of sales by equity affiliates, of which 16.6 million
tons were produced by CONSOL Energy operations, by our equity affiliates or sold
from inventory of company produced coal. This compares with total coal sales of
20.4 million tons for the three months ended March 31, 2001, of which 19.9
million tons were produced by CONSOL Energy operations, by our equity affiliates
or sold from inventory of company produced coal. Demand for coal was weak due
mainly to the warm weather in the eastern United States and the sluggish U. S.
economy. Some of our customers have delayed shipments of coal and some
electricity power plants are burning significantly less than normal amounts of
coal. Inventory of company produced coal was 4.7 million tons at March 31, 2002
compared with 1.5 million tons at December 31, 2001. Average sales prices for
company produced coal have increased 7.8% to $26.44 per ton in the 2002 period
from $24.53 per ton in the 2001 period reflecting the higher prices negotiated
in a more favorable coal market in the last three quarters of 2001.
Until energy markets strengthen, CONSOL Energy will reduce mine output during
the remainder of 2002 by five to six million tons from planned output in order
to match anticipated demand. The following mines will reduce production:
Mahoning Valley (Ohio); VP8 (Virginia); Blacksville 2 (West Virginia); Robinson
Run (West Virginia); McElroy (West Virginia); Shoemaker (West Virginia); and
Rend Lake (Illinois). The following mines will close permanently during the year
due to the depletion of economically mineable reserves: Dilworth (Pennsylvania);
Humphrey (West Virginia); and Windsor (Ohio). Meigs 2 (Ohio) closed during the
2002 period. The Loveridge mine will remain idle. CONSOL Energy also will
institute additional cost control measures and defer some capital expenditure
projects.
Sales volume of coalbed methane gas, including a percentage of the sales of
equity affiliates equal to our interest in these affiliates, increased 24.8% to
11.0 billion cubic feet in the 2002 period compared with 8.8 billion cubic feet
in the 2001 period. The increased sales volume is primarily due to higher
production and sales volumes as a result of the acquisition of the 50% interest
in Pocahontas Gas Partnership on August 22, 2001 that we previously did not own.
Our average sales price for coalbed methane gas, including sales of equity
affiliates, decreased 61.2% to $2.62 per million British thermal units in the
2002 period compared with $6.75 per million British thermal units in the 2001
period. Gas prices through the first quarter of 2002 were lower than levels
during the first quarter of 2001 due to the slow-down of the U. S. economy, the
mild winter in the eastern United States and a reduction in industrial demand.
13
In March 2002, we entered into an agreement to form a joint-venture with
Allegheny Energy Supply Company, LLC, an affiliate of one of our largest coal
customers, to build an 88-megawatt, gas-fired electric generating facility. This
facility will be used for meeting peak load demands, will be built in southwest
Virginia and will use coalbed methane gas that we produce. The facility is
currently under construction, and operations are expected to begin in the third
quarter of 2002.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2002 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31,
2001
Net Income
CONSOL Energy's net income was $6 million for the three months ended March 31,
2002 compared to $101 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The
decrease of $95 million primarily was due to the income recognized in the three
months ended March 31, 2001 related to the export sales excise tax resolution.
The decrease was also due to reduced revenue from sales of coal and coalbed
methane gas, offset, in part, by reduced cost of goods sold and other charges.
Sales revenue from coal were lower in the 2002 period compared to the 2001
period primarily due to a 16.9% reduction in sales volumes of company produced
coal sold. Sales revenue from coalbed methane gas was also lower in the 2002
period compared to the 2001 period primarily due to a 60.6% decrease in the
sales price per million British thermal unit. These reduced sales revenues were
offset, in part, by a decrease in cost of goods sold and other charges related
to coal sales primarily due to the reduction in sales volumes.
Revenue
Sales decreased $70 million, or 12.1%, to $507 million for the 2002 period from
$577 million for the 2001 period.
Revenues from the sale of company produced coal decreased $50 million, or 10.4%,
to $429 million in the 2002 period from $479 million in the 2001 period. The
decrease in company produced coal revenue was due mainly to a decrease in the
tons sold. Company produced tons sold were 16.2 million tons in the 2002 period,
a 3.3 million ton, or 16.9%, decrease from the 2001 period. The decrease in tons
sold was due primarily to the deferral of shipments by our customers from the
first quarter of 2002 to later in the year as a result of the mild weather
experienced in the first quarter. Although sales volumes have declined from the
2001 period, the average sales price per ton of company produced coal sold
increased. Average sales price per ton of company produced coal increased 7.8%
to $26.44 per ton for the 2002 period from $24.53 per ton for the 2001 period.
The increase in average sales price reflects the higher prices negotiated in a
more favorable coal market during the last three quarters of 2001.
14
Revenues from the sale of gas decreased 36.2%, or $15 million, to $28 million in
the 2002 period compared to $43 million in the 2001 period. The decrease was
primarily due to the decrease in average sales price. The average sales price
was $2.61 per million British thermal unit for the 2002 period, a 60.6%, or
$4.01 decrease compared to $6.62 per million British thermal unit for the 2001
period. The decrease in average sales price was primarily due to reduced demand
for gas caused by the slow-down of the U.S. economy, the mild winter and a
reduction in industrial demand. The reduction in average sales price was offset,
in part, by higher volumes of gas sold as a result of the August 22, 2001
acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in Pocahontas Gas Partnership. Sales
volumes were 10.9 billion cubic feet, a 61.1%, or 4.1 billion cubic feet
increase from the 2001 period.
Revenues from the sale of industrial supplies decreased $13 million, or 43.0%,
to $18 million in the 2002 period from $31 million in the 2001 period primarily
due to reduced sales volumes. During the year ended June 30, 2001, the physical
assets, inventory and operations associated with 18 industrial and store
management sites of Fairmont Supply Company were sold.
These decreases in revenues were partially offset by increased revenues from the
sale of purchased coal. Revenues from the sale of purchased coal increased by $9
million, or 47.7%, to $29 million in the 2002 period from $20 million in the
2001 period. Sales volumes increased to 0.8 million tons in the 2002 period from
0.6 million tons in the 2001 period. The average sales price per ton of
purchased coal increased 4.1% to $35.14 per ton for the 2002 period from $33.76
per ton for the 2001 period. The increase in price per ton of purchased coal in
the 2002 period reflects higher prices negotiated in a more favorable coal
market during the last three quarters of 2001.
Freight revenue, outside and related party, increased 11.6% to $36 million for
the 2002 period from $33 million in the 2001 period. Freight revenue is based on
weight of coal shipped, negotiated freight rates and method of transportation
(i.e., rail, barge, truck, etc.) used for the customers that CONSOL Energy
contractually provides transportation services. Freight revenue is the amount
billed to customers for transportation costs incurred.
Other income, which consists of interest income, gain or loss on the disposition
of assets, equity in earnings of affiliates, service income, royalty income,
rental income and miscellaneous income, was $8 million in the 2002 period
compared to $18 million in the 2001 period. The decrease of $10 million, or
54.4% was primarily due to the reduction in equity in earnings of affiliates. A
reduction of $8 million in equity in earnings of affiliates was due to the
August 22, 2001 purchase of the remaining 50% interest in Pocahontas Gas
Partnership and the remaining 25% interest in Cardinal States Gathering Company.
As a result of the acquisition, CONSOL Energy owns 100% of these entities and
began to account for them as fully consolidated subsidiaries. Before the
acquisition, CONSOL Energy accounted for these companies using the equity
method.
Costs
Cost of Goods Sold and Other Operating Charges decreased $56 million, or 13.4%,
to $365 million in the 2002 period compared to $421 million in the 2001 period.
Cost of goods sold and other charges for company produced coal was $285 million
in the 2002 period, a decrease of $22 million, or 7.7%, from $307 million in the
2001 period. This is due primarily to a 16.9% decrease in the volume of company
produced coal sold. The decrease in volume was offset, in part, by an 11.1%
increase in the cost per ton produced. The increase in
15
cost per ton produced is primarily due to increased labor and labor related
costs primarily due to the increased man-counts related to the July 2, 2001
acquisition of mines from American Electric Power.
Cost of goods sold and other charges for closed and idle mine costs have
decreased $14 million, or 52.7%, to $12 million in the 2002 period from $26
million in the 2001 period. The decrease is primarily due to $10 million of
adjustments in reclamation liabilities recognized in the 2001 period as a result
of updated engineering survey adjustments for closed and idled locations. The
decrease in the 2002 period also reflects a $3 million reduction in costs at the
idled Loveridge mine. The 2001 period included costs related to the preparation
for the reopening of Loveridge mine in the 2001 period in order to mine the
remaining longwall panel.
Industrial supply cost of goods sold and other charges decreased $13 million, or
42.6%, to $18 million in the 2002 period compared to $31 million in the 2001
period. The decrease was due to reduced sales.
Coal property holding costs decreased $10 million, or 91.0%, to $1 million in
the 2002 period compared to $11 million in the 2001 period. The decrease was
primarily due to leasehold surrenders that occurred in the 2001 period.
Miscellaneous cost of goods sold and other operating charges also decreased $6
million due to the incentive compensation program expense recognized in the 2001
period. This plan was designed to increase compensation to eligible employees
when CONSOL Energy reaches predetermined earnings targets and the employees
reach predetermined performance targets. Expense for this plan was not
recognized in the 2002 period due to quarterly performance targets for the three
months ended March 31, 2002 not being achieved.
These decreases in cost of goods sold and other charges were offset, in part, by
increased costs for purchased coal. Purchased coal cost of goods sold and other
charges increased 42.2% to $28 million in the 2002 period from $19 million in
the 2001 period. The $9 million increase was due mainly to a 41.9% increase in
the volume of purchased coal sold. The cost per ton of purchased coal was $33.40
per ton in the 2002 period compared to $33.32 per ton in the 2001 period.
Cost of goods sold and other operating charges also increased by $4 million in
the 2002 period due to the costs related to the termination of a sales contract.
Gas operations cost of goods sold increased 5.4% to $14 million in the 2002
period from $13 million in the 2001 period. The increase of $1 million was due
mainly to a 61.1% increase in the volume of gas sold. The increase in volume was
offset, in part, by a 34.6% reduction in the average cost per million British
thermal unit sold. Average cost per million British thermal unit was $1.30 in
the 2002 period compared to $1.99 per million British thermal unit in the 2001
period.
Freight expense increased 11.6% to $36 million in the 2002 period from $33
million in the 2001 period. Freight expense is based on weight of coal shipped,
negotiated freight rates and method of transportation (i.e., rail, barge, truck,
etc.) used for the customers that CONSOL Energy contractually provides
transportation. Freight expense is billed to customers and the revenue from such
billings equals the transportation expense.
16
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 16.6% to $17 million in
the 2002 period compared to $14 million in the 2001 period. The increase of $3
million was primarily due to increased expenses for training related to the
conversion to a new integrated information technology system provided by SAP AG
to support business processes. The system will be implemented in stages over the
next three years at an estimated total cost of $53 million. Also, selling,
general and administrative expenses have increased in the 2002 period due to an
additional commission fee that is owed on tons sold under the sales contract
negotiated in relation to the July 2, 2001 acquisition of the Windsor Coal
Company, Southern Ohio Coal Company, and Central Ohio Coal Company from American
Electric Power.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense increased 9.6% to $66 million
in the 2002 period compared to $61 million in the 2001 period. The increase of
$5 million is primarily due to the August 22, 2001 acquisition of the remaining
50% interest in Pocahontas Gas Partnership and the remaining 25% interest in the
Cardinal States Gathering Company. In the 2002 period, these entities are
reported as fully consolidated. In the 2001 period, these entities were reported
on an equity basis.
Interest expense decreased 30.9% to $10 million for the 2002 period compared to
$15 million for the 2001 period. The decrease of $5 million was due primarily to
lower average debt levels of commercial paper outstanding during the 2002 period
compared to the 2001 period, along with a decrease of 4.0% per annum in average
interest rates. Lower average debt levels resulted from the $336 million of cash
received in the acquisition of Windsor Coal Company, Southern Ohio Coal Company
and Central Ohio Coal Company being used to reduce the outstanding amount of
commercial paper in July 2001. Thereafter, we increased the outstanding amount
of commercial paper by the issuance of approximately $155 million of commercial
paper in August 2001 to finance the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in
Pocahontas Gas Partnership and the remaining 25% interest in the Cardinal States
Gathering Company. The decrease in interest related to commercial paper was
offset in part, by increased interest expense related to the March 7, 2002
issuance of $250 million of 7.875% Notes due in 2012. The proceeds from the note
issuance were used to reduce the outstanding amount of commercial paper.
Interest on the notes is payable March 1 and September 1 of each year commencing
September 1, 2002.
Taxes other than income increased 36.2% to $51 million for the 2002 period
compared to $37 million for the 2001 period. The increase of $14 million was due
primarily to increased excise taxes, real estate and personal property taxes,
and state reclamation fee taxes, in the 2002 period. Due to certain export
excise taxes being declared unconstitutional, $11 million of prior year accruals
related to these taxes, which were not paid and were no longer owed, were
reversed in the 2001 period. Real estate and personal property taxes have
increased approximately $1 million in the 2002 period compared to the 2001
period. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Windsor Coal
Company, Southern Ohio Coal Company, Central Ohio Coal Company, the remaining
50% of the Pocahontas Gas Partnership, and the remaining 25% of Cardinal States
Gathering Company. Reclamation fee taxes have also increased approximately $1
million due to an increase in the rate per ton owed on tons produced in West
Virginia. The rate in the 2002 period is $0.14 per ton compared to $0.03 per ton
in the 2001 period.
17
CONSOL Energy is no longer required to pay certain excise taxes on export coal
sales. We have filed claims with the Internal Revenue Service seeking refunds
for these excise taxes that were determined to be unconstitutional and were paid
during the period 1991 through 1999. During the 2001 period, we recognized $65
million of pre-tax earnings net of other charges and $30 million of interest
income related to these claims.
Income Taxes
Income taxes were $1 million in the 2002 period compared to $42 million in the
2001 period. The decrease of $41 million was due mainly to lower pre-tax income
with little loss of percentage depletion tax benefits. Our effective tax rate is
sensitive to changes in annual profitability and percentage depletion.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
CONSOL Energy generally has satisfied its working capital requirements and
funded its capital expenditures and debt service obligations from cash generated
from operations. CONSOL Energy believes that cash generated from operations and
its borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet its working capital
requirements, anticipated capital expenditures (other than major acquisitions),
scheduled debt payments and anticipated dividend payments. Nevertheless, the
ability of CONSOL Energy to satisfy its debt service obligations, to fund
planned capital expenditures or pay dividends will depend upon its future
operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions
in the coal and gas industries and financial, business and other factors, some
of which are beyond CONSOL Energy's control.
On March 7, 2002, CONSOL Energy issued $250 million principal amount of 7.875%
notes due in 2012. The notes were issued at 99.174% of the principal amount and
CONSOL Energy received approximately $246 million of net proceeds. Interest on
the notes is payable March 1 and September 1 of each year commencing September
1, 2002. Payment of the principal and premium, if any, and interest on the notes
are guaranteed by several CONSOL Energy subsidiaries that incur or guarantee
certain indebtedness. The notes are senior unsecured obligations and will rank
equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the
guarantors. CONSOL Energy paid approximately $4 million for debt issuance costs
related to these notes. The debt issuance costs are being amortized using the
interest method. In connection with the issuance of these notes, CONSOL Energy
entered into a financial derivative contract that essentially fixed the
underlying treasury rate at 4.928%. This contract resulted in a net payment of
$1.3 million to CONSOL Energy. This receipt was treated as a cash flow hedge and
therefore, resulted in other comprehensive income of $0.8 million (net of $0.5
million deferred tax), which will be amortized to interest income over the life
of the notes using the interest method.
CONSOL Energy frequently evaluates potential acquisitions. CONSOL Energy has
funded acquisitions primarily with cash generated from operations and a variety
of other sources, depending on the size of the transaction, including debt
financing. There can be no assurance that additional capital resources,
including debt financing, will be available to CONSOL Energy on terms which
CONSOL Energy finds acceptable, or at all.
18
Stockholders' Equity and Dividends
CONSOL Energy had stockholders' equity of $256 million at March 31, 2002 and
$272 million at December 31, 2001. A quarterly dividend of $0.28 per share was
declared on January 24, 2002, payable to shareholders of record on February 11,
2002. This dividend was paid on February 28, 2002. A quarterly dividend of $0.28
per share was declared on April 25, 2002, payable to shareholders of record on
May 10, 2002. This dividend will be paid on May 30, 2002. The Board of Directors
currently intends to continue paying quarterly dividends on the common stock.
Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities was $31 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2002 compared to $130 million for the three months ended March
31, 2001. The change in net cash provided by operating activities is primarily
due to the decreases in net income and increases to inventories. These decreases
in operating cash flow were offset, in part, by a decrease in accounts and notes
receivables and increases in other liabilities. The decrease in net income was
primarily due to income from certain excise tax refunds being recognized in the
2001 period due to these taxes being declared unconstitutional. The decrease was
also due to reduced revenue from sales of coal and coalbed methane gas, offset,
in part, by reduced cost of goods sold and other charges. Sales revenue from
coal were lower in the 2002 period compared to the 2001 period primarily due to
a 16.9% reduction in sales volumes of company produced coal sold. Sales revenue
from coalbed methane gas was also lower in the 2002 period compared to the 2001
period primarily due to a 60.6% decrease in the sales price per million British
thermal units. These reduced sales revenues were offset, in part, by a decrease
in cost of goods sold and other charges related to coal sales primarily due to
the reduction in sales volumes. The increase in inventory reflects the increased
inventory levels at March 31, 2002 compared to March 31, 2001 as a result of
decreased demand. Company produced coal inventories were 4.7 million tons at
March 31, 2002 compared to 1.5 million tons at December 31, 2001. Accounts and
notes receivables decreased primarily due to receivables being recognized in the
2001 period for refunds expected on certain excise taxes that were declared
unconstitutional. Approximately $3 million of these receivables have been
collected in the 2002 period. Also, other liabilities increased in the 2002
period due primarily to increases in the other post employment benefit
liabilities. The other post employment benefit liabilities have increased over
the prior year primarily due to changes in certain assumptions used in the
actuarial calculation.
Net cash used in investing activities was $79 million in the 2002 period
compared to net cash used in investing activities of $53 million in the 2001
period. The change in net cash provided by investing activities was primarily
due to capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were $70 million in the 2002
period compared with $50 million in the 2001 period. Capital expenditures
increased due mainly to the expansion of the McElroy preparation plant and an
additional longwall at this mining complex. These additions are being completed
in preparation of increased shipments related to the sales contract signed in
relation to the acquisition of the Windsor Coal Company, Southern Ohio Coal
Company, and Central Ohio Coal Company. The change was also due to a use of cash
for investments in equity affiliates of $5 million in the 2002 period compared
to a $6 million source of cash in the 2001 period. This change was due mainly to
cash received in the prior period from the 50% interest in Pocahontas Gas
Partnership and the 75% interest in Cardinal States Gathering Company, which
were accounted for as equity affiliates up until the August 22, 2002 acquisition
of the remaining portion.
19
The cash outflow in the 2002 period primarily represents payments made to our
equity affiliates, including the Australian joint venture in Glennies Creek mine
and the Canadian joint venture in Line Creek mine, for capital and other
expenditures.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $56 million in the 2002 period
compared with net cash used in financing activities of $71 million in the 2001
period. The change in net cash provided by or used in financing activities
primarily reflects the cash received of approximately $246 million related to
the issuance on March 7, 2002 of 7.875% notes due 2012. This receipt of cash was
offset, in part by additional payments made to reduce the outstanding principal
balance of commercial paper in the 2002 period compared to the 2001 period.
Also, a scheduled payment of $23 million was made on unsecured notes.
Debt
At March 31, 2002, CONSOL Energy had total long-term debt of $524 million,
including the current portion of long-term debt of $50 million. Such long-term
debt consisted of:
. an aggregate principal amount of $248 million ($250 million of 7.875% notes
due in 2012, net of $2 million unamortized debt discount). The notes were
issued at 99.174% of the principal amount. Interest on the notes is payable
March 1 and September 1 of each year commencing September 1, 2002. Payment
of the principal and premium, if any, and interest on the notes are
guaranteed by several CONSOL Energy subsidiaries that incur or guarantee
certain indebtedness. The notes are senior unsecured obligations and will
rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of
the guarantors.
. an aggregate principal amount of $133 million of unsecured notes which bear
interest at fixed rates ranging from 8.21% to 8.28% per annum and are due
at various dates between 2002 and 2007,
. an aggregate principal amount of $103 million of two series of industrial
revenue bonds which were issued in order to finance CONSOL Energy's
Baltimore port facility and bear interest at the rate of 6.50% per annum
and mature in 2010 and 2011,
. $28 million in advance royalty commitments with an average interest rate of
8.2% per annum, and
. an aggregate principal amount of $12 million of capital leases with an
average interest rate of 7.4% per annum.
At March 31, 2002, CONSOL Energy had an aggregate principal amount of $178
million of commercial paper outstanding that had maturities remaining ranging
from 1 to 11 days with interest at varying rates ranging from 2.20% per annum to
2.35% per annum.
20
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On August 17, 2001, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143,
"Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" was issued and will be effective
for CONSOL Energy in the first quarter of the year ended December 31, 2003. The
new rule requires the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement
obligation to be recognized in the period in which it is incurred. When the
liability is initially recorded, a cost is capitalized by increasing the
carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is
accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is
depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. To settle the liability,
the obligation for its recorded amount is paid or a gain or loss upon settlement
is incurred. Management will be analyzing this requirement to determine the
effect on CONSOL Energy's financial statements.
Forward-Looking Statements
CONSOL Energy is including the following cautionary statement in this Report on
Form 10-Q to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any forward-looking
statements made by, or on behalf of CONSOL Energy. With the exception of
historical matters, the matters discussed in this Report on Form 10-Q are
forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 21E of the Exchange Act) that
involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from projected results. In addition to other factors and matters
discussed elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-Q, in CONSOL Energy's Form 10-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2002, and other
periodic reports filed, these risks, uncertainties and contingencies include,
but are not limited to, the following: the success or failure of CONSOL Energy's
efforts to implement its business strategy; reliance on major customers and
long-term contracts; the effects of market demand and price on performance; the
ability to renew coal sales agreements upon expiration; the price of coal and
gas sold under any new sales agreements; fluctuating sales prices; contract
penalties; CONSOL Energy's ability to comply with laws or regulations requiring
that it obtain surety bonds for workers' compensation, reclamation and certain
other liabilities, actions of CONSOL Energy's competitors and, CONSOL Energy's
ability to respond to such actions; risks inherent in mining including
geological conditions and mine accidents; weather-related factors; results of
litigation; the effects of government regulation; the risk of work stoppages;
the risk of transportation disruptions that could impair CONSOL Energy's ability
to sell coal and gas; management's ability to correctly estimate and accrue for
contingent liabilities; and CONSOL Energy's ability to identify suitable
acquisition candidates and to successfully finance, consummate the acquisition
of, and integrate these candidates as part of its acquisition strategy.
21
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
CONSOL Energy's interest expense is sensitive to changes in the general level of
interest rates in the United States. At March 31, 2002, CONSOL Energy had
outstanding $524 million aggregate principal amount of debt under fixed-rate
instruments and $178 million aggregate principal amount of debt under its
variable-rate commercial paper program. CONSOL Energy's primary exposure to
market risk for changes in interest rates relates to its commercial paper
program. CONSOL Energy's commercial paper bore interest at an average rate of
2.39% per annum during the three months ended March 31, 2002. A 100 basis-point
increase in the average rate for CONSOL Energy's commercial paper would have
decreased CONSOL Energy's net income for the three months ended March 31, 2002
by approximately $0.5 million.
Almost all of CONSOL Energy's transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars and,
as a result, CONSOL Energy does not have material exposure to currency
exchange-rate risks.
Other than the financial derivative contract related to the issuance of $250
million principal amount of 7.875% notes due in 2012 previously discussed,
CONSOL Energy did not engage in any interest rate, foreign currency exchange
rate or commodity price hedging transactions.
