Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Arch Coal, Inc. and its subsidiaries and controlled entities (the “Company”). The Company’s primary business is the production of steam and metallurgical coal from surface and underground mines located throughout the United States, for sale to utility, industrial and export markets. On June 15, 2011, the Company acquired International Coal Group, Inc. (“ICG”).  The Company currently operates 18 mining complexes in West Virginia, Kentucky, Maryland, Virginia, Illinois, Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. All subsidiaries (except as noted below) are wholly-owned. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial reporting and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. Results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The Company owned a 99% membership interest and acted as the managing member in Arch Western Resources, LLC (“Arch Western”) a joint venture with Delta Housing, Inc., a subsidiary of BP p.l.c, Arch Western operates coal mines in Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. On April 9, 2012, Delta Housing, Inc. exercised their contractual right to require us to purchase their membership interests in Arch Western.  The negotiated purchase amount of $17.5 million was paid on July 2, 2012.

The current maturities of debt include contractual maturities, as well as amounts borrowed that are supported by credit facilities that have a term of less than one year and amounts borrowed under credit facilities with terms longer than one year that the Company does not intend to refinance on a long-term basis, based on cash projections and management’s plans.

 

On May 16, 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to its senior secured revolving credit facility that amended certain financial maintenance covenants, suspending the Company’s compliance with the debt-to-EBITDA ratio, easing other financial covenants through September 2014 and adding defined minimum EBITDA targets.  The maximum borrowing capacity of the revolving credit facility was reduced from $2 billion to $600 million.  In conjunction with the amendment, the Company borrowed $1.4 billion under a six-year secured term loan facility, issued at a 1% discount. The term loan contains no financial maintenance covenants, is prepayable and is secured by the same assets as borrowings under the revolving credit facility.  Quarterly principal payments of $3.5 million are due beginning in September 2012, plus interest at a rate of the greater of Libor or 1.25%, plus 450 basis points.  The

proceeds of the term loan were used to retire all outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the outstanding $450.0 million principal amount of 6 ¾% Senior Notes due 2013 issued by Arch Western Finance, LLC (“Arch Western Finance”), the Company’s indirect subsidiary.

 

On May 16, 2012, Arch Western Finance accepted for purchase an aggregate of approximately $304.0 million principal amount of its 6 ¾% Senior Notes due 2013 in an initial settlement pursuant to the terms of its tender offer and consent solicitation, which commenced on May 1, 2012, and called for redemption all of the remaining notes outstanding after the completion of the tender offer.  The consideration for each $1,000 of principal purchased under the tender offer and consent solicitation was $1,002.50, for a total purchase consideration of $304.8 million.  On May 30, 2012, the remaining notes with an outstanding principal amount of $146.0 million were redeemed at par value.

 

The Company incurred financing costs of $27.4 million in conjunction with the term loan, which have been deferred on the balance sheet.  The Company wrote off $17.3 million of the $24.8 million of financing costs that had previously been deferred relating to the reduction in capacity of the senior secured revolving credit facility and $1.1 million related to the redemption of the 6 ¾% Senior Notes due 2013, offset by the $0.8 million of unamortized issue premium on the notes.  The write-off of deferred financing fees, along with other transaction fees associated with these transactions is reflected in “Loss on extinguishment and refinancing of debt” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

At June 30, 2012, cash on hand was $512.5 million and availability was $345.0 million under our lines of credit.

 

4.  Mine Closure and Asset Impairment Costs

 

An extreme downturn in demand for thermal coal resulted in the Company announcing on June 21, 2012 the closing of four mining complexes and the temporary idling of a fifth complex, all acquired with ICG, as well as cutbacks in production at other Appalachia mines.  These actions resulted in a total workforce reduction of approximately 750 positions.  The operations had ceased production prior to June 30, 2012, and will incur minimal ongoing annual maintenance costs customary with idling operations.  The terms of customer contracts will be fulfilled by other operations.

 

The following costs are reflected in the line “Mine closure and asset impairment costs” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012:

$

525,762

 

 

The fair value of the closed or idled operations’ property, plant and equipment of approximately $51 million was based on the analysis of the marketability of thermal coal properties in the current market environment and our ability to redeploy equipment to other facilities.

 

The majority of the employee termination benefits will be paid in the third quarter of 2012.  The royalty obligations represent minimum payments on various leases and will be paid over the remaining term of the leases, through 2016.

 

The announcement of the closures triggered an actuarial curtailment under the Company’s sponsored pension, post-retirement medical and black lung benefit programs. Certain employees were informed that they would be terminated effective August 21, 2012, which will trigger the recognition of the remaining pension plan curtailment impact in the third quarter of 2012, a curtailment benefit of $2.2 million.

 

5.  Goodwill

 

A significant drop in the Company’s stock price during the second quarter of 2012, combined with continuing weak demand for thermal coal during the quarter and the Company’s resulting production cuts, indicated that the fair value of the Company’s goodwill could be less than its carrying value.  Accordingly, the Company has performed the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test as of June 30, 2012.  The fair values of the reporting units are determined using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) technique.  A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the DCF analysis to forecast operating cash flows, including the discount rate and projections of sales volumes, selling prices and costs to produce.

Table of Contents

 

The value of the Company’s Black Thunder reporting unit in the Powder River Basin, where $115.8 million of goodwill had been allocated, is sensitive to thermal market demand. The further weakening in thermal coal markets in the second quarter significantly impacted the projected demand for and pricing of coal produced at Black Thunder.  In step one of the goodwill impairment testing, the fair value of the Black Thunder reporting unit did not exceed its carrying value, primarily due to the impact of lower demand on near term sales volumes and pricing.  The second step of the test requires that we determine the fair value of Black Thunder’s goodwill.  This will involve determining the value of Black Thunder’s assets and liabilities.  Based on initial estimates of the fair values of the assets and liabilities and the deficit of the fair value when compared to the related book values, we recorded a preliminary write-off of the entire $115.8 million of goodwill allocated to the Black Thunder reporting unit during the second quarter of 2012.

 

The goodwill amounts allocated to certain reporting units in the Company’s Appalachia segment are particularly sensitive to volatility in the demand for metallurgical coal.  Should metallurgical coal markets weaken, affecting the volumes and pricing of metallurgical coal from the Company’s operations, it could cause the fair value of the reporting units to be less than their carrying value, requiring us to perform step 2 of the test for impairment.

The Company may be required to make future contingent payments of up to $73.0 million related to development financing for certain of its equity investees. The Company’s obligation to make these payments, as well as the timing of any payments required, is contingent upon a number of factors, including project development progress, receipt of permits and construction financing.

 

7. Derivatives

 

Diesel fuel price risk management

 

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to diesel fuel purchased for use in its operations. The Company anticipates purchasing approximately 73 to 78 million gallons of diesel fuel for use in its operations during 2012. To protect the Company’s cash flows from increases in the price of diesel fuel for its operations, the Company uses forward physical diesel purchase contracts, as well as heating oil swaps and purchased call options. At June 30, 2012, the Company had protected the price of approximately 80% of its expected purchases for the remainder of fiscal year 2012 and 50% of its 2013 purchases. At June 30, 2012, the Company had purchased heating oil call options for approximately 71 million gallons for the purpose of managing the price risk associated with future diesel purchases.

 

During the first quarter of 2012, the Company determined the effectiveness of the heating oil options could not be established as of December 31, 2011 and on an ongoing basis.  As a result, the amount remaining in accumulated other comprehensive income of $8.2 million, or $5.2 net of income taxes, was recorded in earnings, in the “other income, net” line on the condensed consolidated statement of income.

 

The Company also purchased heating oil call options to hedge the fuel surcharges on its barge and rail shipments that cover increases in diesel fuel prices. These positions reduce the Company’s risk of cash flow fluctuations related to these surcharges but the

positions are not accounted for as hedges. At June 30, 2012, the Company held purchased call options for approximately 18.0 million gallons for the purpose of managing the fluctuations in cash flows associated with fuel surcharges on future shipments.

 

Coal risk management positions

 

The Company may sell or purchase forward contracts, swaps and options in the over-the-counter coal market in order to manage its exposure to coal prices. The Company has exposure to the risk of fluctuating coal prices related to forecasted sales or purchases of coal or to the risk of changes in the fair value of a fixed price physical sales contract. Certain derivative contracts may be designated as hedges of these risks.

 

At June 30, 2012, the Company held derivatives for risk management purposes that are expected to settle in the following years :

Coal trading positions

 

The Company may sell or purchase forward contracts, swaps and options in the over-the-counter coal market for trading purposes. The Company is exposed to the risk of changes in coal prices on the value of its coal trading portfolio. The estimated future realization of the value of the trading portfolio is $0.6 million of gains in the remainder of 2012 and $2.1 million of losses in 2013.

 

Tabular derivatives disclosures

 

The Company’s contracts with certain of its counterparties allow for the settlement of contracts in an asset position with contracts in a liability position in the event of default or termination. Such netting arrangements reduce the Company’s credit exposure related to these counterparties. For classification purposes, the Company records the net fair value of all the positions with a given counterparty as a net asset or liability in the consolidated balance sheets. The amounts shown in the table below represent the fair value position of individual contracts, and not the net position presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value and location of derivatives reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

9. Fair Value Measurements

 

The hierarchy of fair value measurements prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The levels of the hierarchy, as defined below, give the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

 

·    Level 1 is defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 1 assets include available-for-sale equity securities and coal futures that are submitted for clearing on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

 

·    Level 2 is defined as observable inputs other than Level 1 prices. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The Company’s level 2 assets and liabilities include commodity contracts (coal and heating oil) with fair values derived from quoted prices in over-the-counter markets or from prices received from direct broker quotes.

 

·    Level 3 is defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. These include the Company’s commodity option contracts (coal and heating oil) valued using modeling techniques, such as Black-Scholes, that require the use of inputs, particularly volatility, that are rarely observable. Changes in the unobservable inputs would not have a significant impact on the reported Level 3 fair values at June 30, 2012.

 

The table below sets forth, by level, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet:

The Company’s contracts with certain of its counterparties allow for the settlement of contracts in an asset position with contracts in a liability position in the event of default or termination. For classification purposes, the Company records the net fair value of all the positions with these counterparties as a net asset or liability. Each level in the table above displays the underlying contracts according to their classification in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, based on this counterparty netting.

 

The following table summarizes the change in the fair values of financial instruments categorized as level 3.

Net unrealized losses during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 related to level 3 financial instruments held on June 30, 2012 were $12.4 million and $9.6 million, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Long-Term Debt

 

At both June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair value of the Company’s debt, including amounts classified as current, was $4.2 billion. Fair values are based upon observed prices in an active market when available or from valuation models using market information.

 

10. Stock-Based Compensation and Other Incentive Plans

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company granted options to purchase approximately1.3 million shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $13.46 per share and a weighted average grant-date fair value of $5.31 per share. The options’ fair value was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using a weighted average risk-free rate of .759%, a weighted average dividend yield of 2.95% and a weighted average volatility of 60.48%. The options’ expected life is 4.5 years and the options vest ratably over three years, and provide for the continuation of vesting after retirement for recipients that meet certain criteria. The expense for these options will be recognized through the date that the employee first becomes eligible to retire and is no longer required to provide service to earn all or part of the award.

 

The Company has a long-term incentive program that allows for the award of performance units. The total number of units earned by a participant is based on financial and operational performance measures, and may be paid out in cash or in shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company recognizes compensation expense over the three-year term of the grant.  Amounts accrued and unpaid for all grants under the plan totaled $8.6 million and $9.6 million as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

The weighted effect of restricted stock, restricted stock units and options for 5.3 million and 1.1 million shares of common stock for the three month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and 4.5 million and 1.7 million shares for the six month periods ending June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding because the effect would have been antidilutive. An additional weighted effect of 40,000 and 130,000 shares for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2012, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding because the Company incurred a loss for those periods.

 

14. Guarantees

 

The Company has agreed to continue to provide surety bonds and letters of credit for obligations, primarily reclamation, of Magnum Coal Company (“Magnum”) related to the properties the Company sold to Magnum on December 31, 2005. Patriot Coal Corporation (“Patriot Coal”) acquired Magnum in July 2008. The surety bonding amounts are mandated by the state and are not directly related to the estimated cost to reclaim the properties. At June 30, 2012, the Company had $35.3 million of surety bonds remaining related to properties sold to Magnum, however Patriot Coal has posted letters of credit of $16.7 million in the Company’s favor.

Table of Contents

 

Magnum would have acquired a contract to supply coal through 2017 to a customer that had not consented to the contract’s assignment from the Company to Magnum. The Company has committed to purchase coal from Magnum to supply to the customer at the same price the customer is charged for the sale. Under the coal supply contract, as amended, Magnum has the ability to buy out of its monthly obligations under the contract at prices that are predetermined for the remainder of the agreement. Additionally, a predecessor of the Company entered into a guarantee for the delivery of coal under a contract assigned to Magnum. If Magnum is unable to supply the coal for these coal sales contracts or pay the buy out amount if elected, and if the guarantee is enforceable, then the Company may be required to fulfill Magnum’s delivery or payment obligations. The maximum financial impact to the Company if required to fulfill Magnum’s obligations over the term of these contracts would be approximately $70.0 million as of June 30, 2012.

 

On July 9, 2012 Patriot Coal filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, in order to undertake a comprehensive financial restructuring.  Patriot has the expectation of continuing to serve customers, after receiving a commitment of debtor-in-possession financing.  At this time, the Company does not believe that it is probable that it would have to purchase replacement coal, and, accordingly, no losses have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2012.

 

15. Contingencies

 

Allegheny Energy Supply (“Allegheny”), the sole customer of coal produced at the Company’s subsidiary Wolf Run Mining Company’s (“Wolf Run”) Sycamore No. 2 mine, filed a lawsuit against Wolf Run, Hunter Ridge Holdings, Inc. (“Hunter Ridge”), and ICG in state court in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania on December 28, 2006, and amended its complaint on April 23, 2007. Allegheny claimed that Wolf Run breached a coal supply contract when it declared force majeure under the contract upon idling the Sycamore No. 2 mine in the third quarter of 2006, and that Wolf Run continued to breach the contract by failing to ship in volumes referenced in the contract. The Sycamore No. 2 mine was idled after encountering adverse geologic conditions and abandoned gas wells that were previously unidentified and unmapped. After extensive searching for gas wells and rehabilitation of the mine, it was re-opened in 2007, but with notice to Allegheny that it would necessarily operate at reduced volumes in order to safely and effectively avoid the many gas wells within the reserve. The amended complaint also alleged that the production stoppages constitute a breach of the guarantee agreement by Hunter Ridge and breach of certain representations made upon entering into the contract in early 2005. Allegheny voluntarily dropped the breach of representation claims later. Allegheny claimed that it would incur costs in excess of $100 million to purchase replacement coal over the life of the contract. ICG, Wolf Run and Hunter Ridge answered the amended complaint on August 13, 2007, disputing all of the remaining claims.

 

On November 3, 2008, ICG, Wolf Run and Hunter Ridge filed an amended answer and counterclaim against the plaintiffs seeking to void the coal supply agreement due to, among other things, fraudulent inducement and conspiracy. On September 23, 2009, Allegheny filed a second amended complaint alleging several alternative theories of liability in its effort to extend contractual liability to ICG, which was not a party to the original contract and did not exist at the time Wolf Run and Allegheny entered into the contract.  No new substantive claims were asserted.  ICG answered the second amended complaint on October 13, 2009, denying all of the new claims. ICG’s counterclaim was dismissed on motion for summary judgment entered on May 11, 2010.  Allegheny’s claims against ICG were also dismissed by summary judgment, but the claims against Wolf Run and Hunter Ridge were not. The court conducted a non-jury trial of this matter beginning on January 10, 2011 and concluding on February 1, 2011. At the trial, Allegheny presented its evidence for breach of contract and claimed that it is entitled to past and future damages in the aggregate of between $228.0 million and $377.0 million. Wolf Run and Hunter Ridge presented their defense of the claims, including evidence with respect to the existence of force majeure conditions and excuse under the contract and applicable law. Wolf Run and Hunter Ridge presented evidence that Allegheny’s damages calculations were significantly inflated because it did not seek to determine damages as of the time of the breach and in some instances artificially assumed future non-delivery or did not take into account the apparent requirement to supply coal in the future. On May 2, 2011, the trial court entered a Memorandum and Verdict determining that Wolf Run had breached the coal supply contract and that the performance shortfall was not excused by force majeure. ICG and Allegheny filed post-verdict motions in the trial court and on August 23, 2011, the court denied the parties’ motions.  The court entered a final judgment on August 25, 2011, in the amount of $104.1 million, which included pre-judgment interest.  The parties appealed the lower court’s decision to the Superior Court of Pennsylvania.  Wolf Run and Hunter Ridge have filed an appeal bond in the amount of $124.9 million. Briefing is complete and oral argument was held on May 16, 2012.  The matter is pending a decision by the Court.

 

As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had accrued $111.4 million and $108.3 million, respectively, for this lawsuit, including interest.  The ultimate resolution of this matter could result in an outcome which may be materially different than what the Company has accrued.

 

In addition, the Company is a party to numerous claims and lawsuits with respect to various matters. The Company provides for costs related to contingencies when a loss is probable and the amount is reasonably determinable. After conferring with counsel, it is the opinion of management that the ultimate resolution of pending claims, other than as noted above, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

16. Segment Information

 

The Company has three reportable business segments, which are based on the major coal producing basins in which the Company operates. Each of these reportable business segments includes a number of mine complexes. The Company manages its coal sales by coal basin, not by individual mine complex. Geology, coal transportation routes to customers, regulatory environments and coal quality are characteristic to a basin. Accordingly, market and contract pricing have developed by coal basin. Mine operations are evaluated based on their per-ton operating costs (defined as including all mining costs but excluding pass-through transportation expenses), as well as on other non-financial measures, such as safety and environmental performance. The Company’s reportable segments are the Powder River Basin (PRB) segment, with operations in Wyoming; the Western Bituminous (WBIT) segment, with operations in Utah, Colorado and southern Wyoming; the Appalachia (APP) segment, with operations in West Virginia, Kentucky, Maryland and Virginia.  The Appalachia segment includes the acquired ICG operations in Appalachia, as well as the Company’s previous Central Appalachia segment. The “Other” operating segment represents primarily the Company’s Illinois operations and ADDCAR subsidiary, which manufactures and sells its patented highwall mining system.

 

Operating segment results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 are presented below. Results for the reportable segments include all direct costs of mining, including all depreciation, depletion and amortization related to the mining operations, even if the assets are not recorded at the operating segment level. See discussion of segment assets below. Corporate, Other and Eliminations includes the change in fair value of coal derivatives and coal trading activities, net; corporate overhead; land management; other support functions; and the elimination of intercompany transactions.

 

The asset amounts below represent an allocation of assets consistent with the Company’s incentive compensation plans. The amounts in Corporate, Other and Eliminations represent primarily corporate assets (cash, receivables, investments, plant, property and equipment) as well as unassigned coal reserves, above-market acquired sales contracts and other unassigned assets. Goodwill is allocated to the respective reporting units, even though it may not be reflected in the subsidiaries’ financial statements.
