Temporary Operation Changes

On April 3, 2020, the Company announced temporary operational changes in response to market conditions, existing coal inventory levels, and recent customer deferrals due to concern around the global economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Beginning April 3, 2020, the majority of the Company’s operations were idled for a period of approximately 30 days, with some sites idling for shorter periods of time and a few continuing to operate at a near-normal rate of production. Location-specific schedules were implemented based on existing customer agreements, current inventory levels, and anticipated customer demand. Certain preparation plants, docks, and loadouts continued to operate to support business needs and customer shipments. As of May 4, 2020, all Company sites were back to nearly normal staffing levels and operating capacity with additional precautions in place to help reduce the risk of exposure to COVID-19. The Company will continue to evaluate market conditions amid the continuing uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic and expects to adjust its operations accordingly.
