Amends and Restates Credit Agreement
BROOKWOOD, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Warrior Met Coal, Inc. (NYSE:HCC) (“Warrior” or the “Company”) today
announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018.
Warrior is the leading dedicated U.S.-based producer and exporter of
high quality metallurgical (“met”) coal for the global steel industry.
Warrior reported third quarter 2018 net income of $52.6 million, or
$1.00 per diluted share, compared to third quarter 2017 net income
of $119.7 million, or $2.27 per diluted share, which included a $37.6
million, or $0.71 per diluted share, income tax benefit reflecting the
impact of the favorable Internal Revenue Service Private Letter Ruling
the Company received in the third quarter of 2017. Excluding one-time
transaction and other expenses, adjusted earnings per share for this
quarter were $1.06 per diluted share. The Company reported Adjusted
EBITDA of $94.1 million for the third quarter 2018 compared to Adjusted
EBITDA of $107.3 million in the third quarter of 2017.
Year-to-date, Warrior reported net income of $322.6 million, or $6.09
per diluted share, compared to net income of $357.9 million, or $6.79
per diluted share, in the same period of 2017. Excluding one-time
transaction and other expenses, adjusted earnings per share year-to-date
were $6.30 per diluted share compared to the same period in 2017 of
$7.03 per diluted share. Year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA was $439.4 million
compared to $431.4 million in the same period of 2017.
“The market for high quality premium met coal remained strong in the
third quarter, with robust customer demand continuing to be supported by
steel production in our key markets,” commented Walt Scheller, CEO of
Warrior. “Warrior is performing in line with our increased guidance for
the year as we continue to benefit from a price environment supported by
a tight supply/demand balance and favorable Chinese policies. With the
recent successful completion of two scheduled longwall moves, our
success in maintaining high levels of production during this time was
the result of good planning, preparation, communication, and outstanding
work by our employees.”
Operating Results
The Company produced 1.8 million short tons of met coal in the third
quarter of 2018, compared to 1.6 million short tons produced in the
third quarter of 2017. Production levels were reduced somewhat as a
result of two longwall moves, both of which were completed slightly
better than expected and on schedule. The Company continues to make good
progress toward its nameplate annual capacity of eight million short
tons. In the first nine months of the year, the Company produced 5.8
million short tons of met coal.
Total revenues were $273.3 million for the third quarter of 2018,
including $264.9 million in mining revenues, which consisted of met coal
sales of 1.7 million short tons at an average net selling price of $159
per short ton, net of demurrage and other charges. Average net selling
price rose 10.2% compared to the third quarter of 2017, reflecting the
strength of the prevailing market conditions. Warrior capitalized on the
strong pricing environment in the quarter by achieving a gross price
realization of 97% which was lower compared to prior periods primarily
due to a rising price environment. Beginning in the first quarter of
2018, the Company’s gross price realization has been calculated as a
volume weighted-average of its daily realized price per ton based on
gross sales, which excludes demurrage and other charges, as a percentage
of the Platts Premium Low Volatility (“LV”) Free-On-Board (“FOB”)
Australia Index price (the “Platts Index”).
Cost of sales for the third quarter of 2018 were $167.2 million, or
63.1% of mining revenues, and included mining costs, transportation and
royalty costs. Mining costs were lower in the third quarter of 2018 than
the same period last year primarily due to a decrease in met coal sales
of 0.4 million short tons and the Port of Mobile, Alabama being closed
for approximately three days due to Tropical Storm Gordon.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of
2018 were $7.4 million, or 2.7% of total revenues, which were $1.9
million less than the same period last year. Transaction and other
expenses were $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2018 and were related
to the completion of a secondary offering of common stock by certain
existing stockholders. Depreciation and depletion costs for the third
quarter of 2018 were $26.1 million, or 9.5% of total revenues. Warrior
incurred interest expense of $10.1 million during the third quarter of
2018. The Company did not incur any income tax expense for the third
quarter of 2018 due to its planned utilization of net operating losses
(“NOLs”).
Cash Flow and Liquidity
The Company continued to generate strong cash flows from operating
activities in the third quarter of 2018 of $102.3 million, compared to
$116.1 million in the third quarter of 2017. Net working capital,
excluding cash, decreased by $21.2 million from the second quarter of
2018, primarily due to higher accrued expenses associated with interest
on its $475.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.00% Senior
Secured Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) and lower accounts receivable on
lower sales volumes. Capital expenditures for the third quarter of 2018
were $24.2 million, resulting in free cash flow of $78.2 million.
The Company’s available liquidity as of September 30, 2018 was $225.6
million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $130.2 million and
$95.4 million of available borrowings under its Asset-Based Revolving
Credit Agreement, net of outstanding letters of credit of $4.6 million.
Company Outlook
In light of the Company's successful performance in the first three
quarters of 2018, its NOL carryforwards, and the expected market
conditions for the remainder of 2018, Warrior is maintaining its
guidance for the full year 2018 as outlined below.
|
|
|
| |
Coal sales
| | | |
7.1 - 7.5 million short tons
|
Coal production
| | | |
7.1 - 7.5 million short tons
|
Cash cost of sales (free-on-board port)
| | | | $89 - $95 per short ton
|
Capital expenditures
| | | | $100 - $120 million |
Selling, general and administrative expenses
| | | | $36 - $39 million |
Interest expense
| | | | $40 - $42 million |
Cash tax rate
| | | |
0%
|
| | | |
|
The Company’s guidance for capital expenditures consists of sustaining
capital spending of approximately $70 - $83 million, including
regulatory and gas requirements, and discretionary capital spending of
$30 - $37 million for various operational improvements.
The Company’s outlook is subject to many risks that may impact
performance, such as market conditions in the steel and met coal
industries, overall global economic and competitive conditions, all as
more fully described under "Forward-Looking Statements."
Key factors that may affect outlook include:
-
HCC index pricing
-
Planned longwall moves - 1 in Q4
-
Exclusion of other non-recurring costs
The Company does not provide reconciliations of its outlook for cash
cost of sales (free-on-board port) to cost of sales in reliance on the
unreasonable efforts exception provided for under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of
Regulation S-K. The Company is unable, without unreasonable efforts, to
forecast certain items required to develop the meaningful comparable
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) cost of sales. These
items typically include non-cash asset retirement obligation accretion
expenses, mine idling expenses and other non-recurring indirect mining
expenses that are difficult to predict in advance in order to include a
GAAP estimate.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On October 16, 2018, the Company announced that it had amended and
restated the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement, (the “Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement”). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement,
among other things, (i) increases the aggregate commitments available to
be borrowed under the credit facility by $25.0 million to $125.0
million; (ii) extends the maturity date of the credit facility to
October 15, 2023; (iii) decreases the applicable interest rate margins
with respect to the loans and the applicable fees in connection with the
issuance of letters of credit; and (iv) amends certain covenants and
other terms and provisions.
Moody’s Upgrade
On September 20, 2018, the Company announced that Moody’s Investors
Service (“Moody’s”) has upgraded its Corporate Family Rating (“CFR”) to
B2 from B3 with a Stable Outlook. According to Moody’s, the upgrade
reflects the Company’s strong financial performance, including free cash
flow generation, strong met coal prices, low financial leverage and
changes in the Company’s stockholder base. The upgrade further reflects
expectations that the Company will continue to demonstrate strong free
cash flow through 2019.
Regular Quarterly Dividend
On October 23, 2018, the board of directors of the Company declared a
regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share, totaling
approximately $2.7 million, which will be paid on November 9, 2018 to
stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 2, 2018.
Secondary Offering
On August 9, 2018, the Company announced the completion of an
underwritten secondary offering of 2,204,806 shares of its common stock
by certain of its existing stockholders. The Company did not receive any
proceeds from the sale of shares in the offering.

About Warrior
Warrior is a large scale, low-cost U.S. based producer and exporter of
premium HCC, operating highly efficient longwall operations in its
underground mines located in Alabama. The HCC that Warrior produces from
the Blue Creek coal seam contains very low sulfur and has strong coking
properties and is of a similar quality to coal referred to as the
premium HCC produced in Australia. The premium nature of Warrior’s HCC
makes it ideally suited as a base feed coal for steel makers and results
in price realizations near the Platts Index. Warrior sells all its met
coal production to steel producers in Europe, South America and Asia.

Cash cost of sales (free on board port) is based on reported cost of
sales and includes items such as freight, royalties, labor, fuel and
other similar production and sales cost items, and may be adjusted
for other items that, pursuant to GAAP, are classified in the
Condensed Statements of Operations as costs other than cost of
sales, but relate directly to the costs incurred to produce met
coal. Our cash cost of sales per short ton is calculated as cash
cost of sales divided by the short tons sold. Cash cost of sales per
short ton is a non-GAAP financial measure which is not calculated in
conformity with U.S. GAAP and should be considered supplemental to,
and not as a substitute or superior to financial measures calculated
in conformity with GAAP. We believe cash cost of sales per ton is a
useful measure of performance and we believe it aids some investors
and analysts in comparing us against other companies to help analyze
our current and future potential performance. Cash cost of sales per
ton may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other
companies.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before net interest
expense, income tax expense, depreciation and depletion, non-cash
asset retirement obligation accretion, non-cash stock compensation
expense and transaction and other expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is not a
measure of financial performance in accordance with GAAP, and we
believe items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant to a
reader in understanding and assessing our financial condition.
Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation,
nor as an alternative to net income, income from operations, cash
flows from operations or as a measure of our profitability,
liquidity or performance under GAAP. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA
presents a useful measure of our ability to incur and service debt
based on ongoing operations. Furthermore, analogous measures are
used by industry analysts to evaluate our operating performance.
Investors should be aware that our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA
may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other
companies.

Adjusted net income is defined as net income net of incremental
non-cash stock compensation expense, transaction and other expenses,
net of tax (based on each respective period's effective tax rate).
Adjusted net income is not a measure of financial performance in
accordance with GAAP, and we believe items excluded from adjusted
net income are significant to the reader in understanding and
assessing our results of operations. Therefore, adjusted net income
should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to net
income under GAAP. We believe adjusted net income is a useful
measure of performance and we believe it aids some investors and
analysts in comparing us against other companies to help analyze our
current and future potential performance. Adjusted net income may
not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other
companies.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating
activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. Free
cash flow is not a measure of financial performance in accordance
with GAAP, and we believe items excluded from net cash provided by
operating activities are significant to the reader in understanding
and assessing our results of operations. Therefore, free cash flow
should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to net
cash provided by operating activities under GAAP. We believe free
cash flow is a useful measure of performance and we believe it aids
some investors and analysts in comparing us against other companies
to help analyze our current and future potential performance. Free
cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by
other companies.
