CONSOL Energy Announces Results for the Third Quarter 2023

CANONSBURG, PA (October 31, 2023) - Today, CONSOL Energy Inc. (NYSE: CEIX) reported financial and operating results for the period ended September 30, 2023.
Third Quarter 2023 Highlights Include:

•GAAP net income of $100.7 million and GAAP dilutive earnings per share of $3.11;
•Adjusted EBITDA1 of $185.5 million;
•Total revenue and other income of $569.9 million;
•Net cash provided by operating activities of $162.7 million;
•Free cash flow1 of $120.4 million;
•77% of 3Q23 free cash flow1 returned to shareholders via stock repurchases;
•Repurchased 4.1 million shares of CEIX common stock at a weighted average price of $68.97 per share year-to-date through October 31, 2023;
•Debt repayments of $29.9 million, including $24.1 million to fully retire Second Lien Notes;
•71% of year-to-date total recurring revenues and other income1 derived from export sales and 61% derived from non-power generation sales;
•Pennsylvania Mining Complex (PAMC) is near-fully contracted for 4Q23 and improved its contracted position to 21.5 million tons in 2024 and 10.8 million tons in 2025; and
•Itmann production volume improved 30% compared to 2Q23.

Management Comments

“During the third quarter of 2023, we generated $120 million in free cash flow1, which was deployed toward further strengthening our balance sheet and retiring 1 million shares of our outstanding common stock in the open market,” said Jimmy Brock, Chief Executive Officer of CONSOL Energy Inc. “On a year-to-date basis, we’ve generated $639 million in net cash provided by operating activities and more than $500 million in free cash flow1, which was used to fully retire the remaining balances of our Term Loan B and Second Lien Notes, as well as to repurchase 4.1 million shares of our outstanding common stock. Our ongoing pivot into the export markets continued during the quarter, as the majority of our revenue was generated from sales into the seaborne markets and non-power generation industries. From an operational standpoint, in just nine months, our CONSOL Marine Terminal has achieved a year-to-date throughput level of 14.2 million tons. We also advanced our contracting progress during the quarter and have improved our 2024 and 2025 sales books to 21.5 million tons and 10.8 million tons, respectively.”

“On the safety front, our Bailey Preparation Plant, Itmann Preparation Plant and CONSOL Marine Terminal each had ZERO employee recordable incidents year-to-date through the third quarter of 2023. Our year-to-date total recordable incident rate across our coal mining segment was approximately 40% below the national average for underground bituminous coal mines.”




Pennsylvania Mining Complex Review and Outlook

PAMC Sales and Marketing
CEIX sold 6.1 million tons of PAMC coal during the third quarter of 2023, generating realized coal revenue1 of $431.1 million for the PAMC segment and an average realized coal revenue per ton sold1 of $70.34. This compares to 5.3 million tons sold, generating realized coal revenue1 of $384.3 million and an average realized coal revenue per ton sold1 of $72.83 in the year-ago period. The improvement in realized coal revenue1 was mainly driven by the increased sales tonnage during the quarter due to the availability of the fifth longwall this year, which provided increased productive capacity and additional flexibility, compared to the prior year period. Additionally, we negotiated partial buyouts of some coal volumes from customer coal contracts in exchange for payment of certain fees to us during the third quarter of 2023, which contributed $16.4 million to our miscellaneous other income versus being recognized as coal revenue had our customers not bought out these partial coal volumes.

On the marketing front, coal demand remained somewhat muted for the power generation markets during the third quarter but began to improve overall after a very weak second quarter. Domestically, Henry Hub natural gas spot prices and PJM West day-ahead power prices improved 20% and 13%, respectively, in the third quarter compared to 2Q23. Internationally, API2 spot prices averaged $118/metric ton during 3Q23, a 5% decline versus the second quarter of 2023. However, we continued to leverage the strong quality characteristics of our PAMC product and focused our sales efforts on stronger export market opportunities, particularly in the industrial and crossover metallurgical markets. Export sales in aggregate accounted for 60% of our total coal revenue during 3Q23 with 38% of total coal revenue coming from the export industrial market and 14% from export metallurgical sales. On a year-to-date basis, 71% of our total recurring revenues and other income1 have been derived from sales into the export markets.

Furthermore, during 3Q23, we strengthened our forward contract book at the PAMC and secured an additional 5.4 million tons for delivery through 2025. We are near-fully contracted for the remainder of 2023 and have 21.5 million tons contracted for 2024 and 10.8 million tons contracted for 2025.

Operations Summary
During the third quarter of 2023, we produced 6.1 million tons at the Pennsylvania Mining Complex, compared to 5.3 million tons in the year-ago period where we had only four longwalls operating versus all five currently in operation.

CEIX's total revenue and other income during the third quarter of 2023 was $569.9 million, compared to $561.6 million in the third quarter of 2022, while CEIX's operating and other costs during the third quarter of 2023 were $276.3 million, compared to $229.7 million in the year-ago quarter. Total coal revenue for the PAMC segment during the third quarter of 2023 was $431.1 million, compared to $465.6 million in the year-ago quarter. After adjusting for the effect of settlements of commodity derivatives, PAMC total realized coal revenue1 in 3Q23 was $431.1 million, compared to $384.3 million in 3Q22. Average cash cost of coal sold per ton1 at the PAMC for the third quarter of 2023 was $38.36, compared to $39.77 in the year-ago quarter. The decrease was due to improved operational performance compared to the prior-year period.

CONSOL Marine Terminal Review

For the third quarter of 2023, throughput volume at the CMT was 4.3 million tons, compared to 2.7 million tons in the year-ago period. Terminal revenues and CMT total costs and expenses were $22.7 million and $11.7 million, respectively, compared to $14.8 million and $10.2 million, respectively, during the year-ago period. The Terminal is set to achieve a new annual throughput tonnage record this year; on a year-to-date basis, it has achieved a throughput volume of 14.2 million tons compared to 10.1 million tons during the same period last year. CMT operating cash costs1 were $7.5 million in 3Q23, compared to $6.7 million in the prior-year period. CONSOL Marine Terminal net income and CONSOL Marine Terminal Adjusted EBITDA1 were $12.1 million and $14.9 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2023 compared to $5.6 million and $8.3 million, respectively, in the year-ago period. The improved financial performance was directly related to the significant increase in throughput volume compared to the prior-year quarter.

Itmann Update

The Itmann Mining Complex showed improved performance on a sequential basis during the third quarter of 2023, producing 91 thousand tons of coal, compared to 70 thousand tons in 2Q23. Additionally in the third quarter, the Complex sold 123 thousand tons of Itmann and third-party coal, and year-to-date, the Complex produced 225 thousand tons of coal and sold 357 thousand tons of Itmann and third-party coal in aggregate. During the third quarter, all three of the super sections were mining additional height for mains development and long term viability of the coal mine. This requires cutting some rock, which slows the mining rates to some extent. Although all three continuous miner super sections are installed underground, we are currently operating two of the three as true super sections as we continue to work toward fully staffing the mine. Once the mains development is complete, we will be able to operate the three super sections in specific blocks of the coal reserves at more efficient mining heights, which should improve our production rates and deliver reduced cost.

Shareholder Returns Update

With the free cash flow1 generated during the third quarter of 2023, CEIX repurchased 833 thousand shares of its common stock during the quarter in the open market for $78.0 million at a weighted average price of $93.55 per share. Additionally, through a 10b5-1 plan in place for the month of October, CEIX repurchased an additional 143 thousand shares of its common stock for $15.0 million at a weighted average price of $104.94 per share. Therefore, with the free cash flow1 generated during the third quarter of 2023, CEIX repurchased 976 thousand shares of its common stock for $93.0 million at a weighted average price of $95.22 per share. As a result, CEIX allocated approximately 77% of its quarterly free cash flow1 toward share repurchases. On a year-to-date basis through October, CEIX has repurchased 4.1 million shares of its common stock for $68.97 or nearly 12% of its public float as of year-end 2022. Consistent with the Company's previously announced plan to return value to CEIX shareholders through repurchases of CEIX common stock rather than dividends, the Company is not declaring a quarterly dividend at this time.

Debt Repurchases Update

During the third quarter of 2023, we made repayments of $24.1 million and $5.8 million on our Second Lien Notes and equipment-financed and other debt, respectively. This brings our total debt repayments and repurchases in the quarter and year-to-date to $29.9 million and $182.9 million, respectively (excluding the premium paid on the Second Lien Notes). Our 3Q23 repayments fully retired our Second Lien Notes. As of September 30, 2023, CEIX had a net cash position, including short-term investments, of $50.1 million.

2023 Guidance and Outlook

Based on our current contracted position, estimated prices and production plans, we are providing the following financial and operating performance guidance for full fiscal year 2023:

•2023 targeted PAMC coal sales volume of 25.5-26.5 million tons
•PAMC average realized coal revenue per ton sold2 expectation of $76.00-$80.00
•PAMC average cash cost of coal sold per ton2 expectation of $34.00-$36.00
•Itmann Mining Complex production volume of 300-400 thousand tons
•Capital expenditures: $160-$175 million

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We evaluate our cost of coal sold and cash cost of coal sold on an aggregate basis by segment, and our average cash cost of coal sold per ton on a per-ton basis. Cost of coal sold includes items such as direct operating costs, royalty and production taxes, direct administration costs, and depreciation, depletion and amortization costs on production assets. Cost of coal sold excludes any indirect costs and other costs not directly attributable to the production of coal. The cash cost of coal sold includes cost of coal sold less depreciation, depletion and amortization costs on production assets. We define average cash cost of coal sold per ton as cash cost of coal sold divided by tons sold. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to cost of coal sold, cash cost of coal sold and average cash cost of coal sold per ton is operating and other costs.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure, defined as net cash provided by operating activities plus proceeds from sales of assets less capital expenditures and investments in mining-related activities. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because management reviews cash flows generated from operations and non-core asset sales after taking into consideration capital expenditures due to the fact that these expenditures are considered necessary to maintain and expand CONSOL’s asset base and are expected to generate future cash flows from operations. It is important to note that free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since other non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements, are not deducted from the measure. The following table presents a reconciliation of free cash flow to net cash provided by operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, on a historical basis, for each of the periods indicated (in thousands).

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this press release are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. With the exception of historical matters, the matters discussed in this press release are forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from results projected in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. The forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of specific projects and our future production, revenues, income and capital spending. When we use the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “target,” or their negatives, or other similar expressions, the statements which include those words are usually forward-looking statements. When we describe our expectations with respect to the Itmann Mine or any other strategy that involves risks or uncertainties, we are making forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Specific risks, contingencies and uncertainties are discussed in more detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements in this press release speak only as of the date of this press release and CEIX disclaims any intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether in response to new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
