CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report includes statements of our expectations, intentions, plans and beliefs that constitute “forward-looking statements.” These statements, which involve risks and uncertainties, relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable and may also relate to our future prospects, developments and business strategies. We have used the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “should” and similar terms and phrases, including references to assumptions, in this report to identify forward-looking statements, but these terms and phrases are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. These forward-looking statements are made based on expectations and beliefs concerning future events affecting us and are subject to uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by these forward-looking statements.

The following factors are among those that may cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements:

•the financial performance of the company;

•our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition;

•our ability to generate sufficient cash or obtain financing to fund our business operations;

•depressed levels or declines in coal prices;

•changes in domestic or international environmental laws and regulations, and court decisions, including those directly affecting our coal mining and production, and those affecting our customers’ coal usage, including potential climate change initiatives;

•worldwide market demand for coal and steel, including demand for U.S. coal exports, and competition in coal markets;

•our ability to pay dividends on our common stock and execute our share repurchase program;

•our ability to obtain or renew surety bonds on acceptable terms or maintain our current bonding status;

•inflationary pressures on supplies and labor and significant or rapid increases in commodity prices;

•our indebtedness and potential future indebtedness;

•our ability to meet collateral requirements;

•the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and the world economy;

•the imposition or continuation of barriers to trade, such as tariffs;

•increased market volatility and uncertainty on worldwide markets and our customers as a result of developments in and around Ukraine and the consequent export controls and financial and economic sanctions;

•railroad, barge, truck and other transportation availability, performance and costs;

•reductions or increases in customer coal inventories and the timing of those changes;

•our production capabilities and costs;

•attracting and retaining key personnel and other employee workforce factors, such as labor relations;

•disruptions in delivery or changes in pricing from third-party vendors of key equipment and materials that are necessary for our operations, such as diesel fuel, steel products, explosives, tires and purchased coal;

•inherent risks of coal mining, including those that are beyond our control;

•changes in the ownership of our equity, which may significantly further reduce the annual amount of the net operating loss and other carryforwards available to be utilized;

•changes in, interpretations of, or implementations of domestic or international tax or other laws and regulations, including the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and its related regulations;

•our ability to consummate financing or refinancing transactions, and other services, and the form and degree of these services available to us, which may be significantly limited by the lending, investment and similar policies of financial institutions and insurance companies regarding carbon energy producers and the environmental impacts of coal combustion;

•our ability to self-insure certain of our black lung obligations without a significant increase in required collateral;

•our relationships with, and other conditions affecting, our customers, including the inability to collect payments from our customers if their creditworthiness declines;

•changes in, renewal or acquisition of, terms of and performance of customers under coal supply arrangements and the refusal by our customers to receive coal under agreed-upon contract terms;

•our ability to obtain, maintain or renew any necessary permits or rights, and our ability to mine properties due to defects in title on leasehold interests;

•funding for and changes in employee benefit obligations;

•cybersecurity attacks or failures, threats to physical security, extreme weather conditions or other natural disasters;

•reclamation and mine closure obligations;

4

•utilities switching to alternative energy sources such as natural gas, renewables and coal from basins where we do not operate;

•our assumptions concerning economically recoverable coal reserve estimates;

•failures in performance, or non-performance, of services by third-party contractors, including contract mining and reclamation contractors;

•disruption in third-party coal supplies; and

•other factors, including the other factors discussed in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” sections included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” sections contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The list of factors identified above is not exhaustive. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based on information currently available to us and speak only as of the dates on which they are made. When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the cautionary statements in this report. We do not undertake any responsibility to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to take into account events or circumstances that occur after the date of this report. Additionally, except as expressly required by federal securities laws, we do not undertake any responsibility to update you on the occurrence of any unanticipated events, which may cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this report.

Basis of Presentation

Together, the condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), balance sheets, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the Company are referred to as the “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.” The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are also referenced across periods as “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations,” “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss),” “Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets,” “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows,” and “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.” The Company’s former Northern Appalachia (“NAPP”) operations results of operations and financial position are reported as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 2 for further information on discontinued operations.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all wholly-owned subsidiaries’ results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for Form 10-Q. Such rules and regulations allow the omission of certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP as long as the financial statements are not misleading. In the opinion of management, these interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or any other period. These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior year Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 virus was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The COVID-19 pandemic has had negative impacts on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. The Company experienced an increase in employee absences due to COVID-19. Indirectly, through some of the Company’s third-party vendors, the Company and the Company’s customers have experienced some supply chain disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration of the virus, its impact on the Company’s customers and suppliers, and the range of governmental and community reactions to the pandemic, which cannot be fully predicted. Health and safety are core values of the Company and are the foundation for how the Company manages every aspect of its business. The Company continues to monitor developments closely and adjust as necessary, including with respect to the Company’s implemented policies, procedures, and prevention measures to protect the safety and health of its employees.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

Fair Value Measurement: In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited, amounts in thousands except share and per share data)

Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”). This update clarifies how the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions is determined. Per the update, a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and is not considered in measuring fair value. Additionally, the update requires entities with investments in equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions to disclose certain qualitative and quantitative information about such securities. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early application permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2022-03 during the second quarter of 2022. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

Financial Instruments: In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”). This update eliminates the troubled debt restructuring model for creditors that have adopted Topic 326. All loan modifications will now be accounted for under general loan modification guidance and, on a prospective basis, entities will be subject to new disclosure requirements covering modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, entities will be required to prospectively disclose current-period gross write-off information by year of origination. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early application permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2022-02 during the first quarter of 2022. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

(3) Revenue

Disaggregation of Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company earns revenues primarily through the sale of coal produced at Company operations and coal purchased from third parties. The Company extracts, processes and markets met and thermal coal from deep and surface mines for sale to steel and coke producers, industrial customers, and electric utilities.

The Company has disaggregated revenue between met coal and thermal coal and export and domestic revenues which depicts the pricing and contract differences between the two. Export revenue generally is derived by spot or short term contracts

with pricing determined at the time of shipment or based on a market index; whereas domestic revenue is characterized by contracts that typically have a term of one year or longer and typically the pricing is fixed. The following tables disaggregate the Company’s coal revenues by product category and by market to depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of the Company’s coal revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors:

(1) These accumulated other comprehensive loss components are included in the computation of net periodic benefit costs for certain employee benefit plans. Refer to Note 14.

(5) Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The number of shares used to calculate basic net income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of the Company’s outstanding common shares during the respective period. The number of shares used to calculate diluted net income (loss) per common share is based on the number of common shares used to calculate basic net income (loss) per common share plus the dilutive effect of stock options and other stock-based instruments held by the Company’s employees and directors during the period, and the Company’s outstanding warrants. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock-based instruments is determined by application of the treasury stock method. The stock options and warrants become dilutive for diluted net income (loss) per common share calculations when the market price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the exercise price. As discussed below, dilutive securities are not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as the impact would be anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 0 and 942,549 warrants and stock options, respectively, were excluded from the computation of dilutive net income (loss) per common share because they would have been anti-dilutive. For six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 0 and 948,398 warrants, stock options, and other stock-based instruments, respectively, were excluded from the computation of dilutive net loss per common share because they would have been anti-dilutive. When applying the treasury stock method, anti-dilution generally occurs when the exercise prices or unrecognized compensation cost per share are higher than the Company’s average stock price during an applicable period.

Anti-dilution also occurs in periods of a net loss, and the dilutive impact of all share-based compensation awards are excluded. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 the weighted average share impact of stock options and other stock-based instruments that were excluded from the calculation of diluted shares due to the Company incurring a net loss for the period was 313,640. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the weighted average share impact of stock options and other-stock-based instruments that were excluded from the calculation of diluted shares due to the Company incurring a net loss for the period was 301,684.

The following table presents the net income (loss) per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

(7) Capital Stock

Share Repurchase Program

On March 4, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) adopted a share repurchase program that permitted the Company to repurchase up to an aggregate amount of $150,000 of the Company's common stock. On May 3, 2022, the Company’s Board amended the share repurchase program to increase the aggregate amount the Company is permitted to repurchase to an aggregate amount of up to $600,000 of the Company's common stock. Share repurchases may be made from time to time through open market transactions, block trades, tender offers, or otherwise, and has no expiration date. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock or to acquire shares on any particular timetable, and the program may be suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion. Repurchases under the program are subject to market and business conditions, levels of available liquidity, the Company’s cash needs, restrictions under agreements or obligations, legal or regulatory requirements or restrictions and other relevant factors. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had repurchased an aggregate of 1,309,362 shares under the plan for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $192,859 (comprised of $192,820 of share repurchases and $39 of related fees).

Dividend Program

On May 3, 2022, the Company‘s Board adopted a dividend policy. Pursuant to this policy, the Board initially intended to pay aggregate cash dividends of $1.50 per share of common stock per year, with $0.375 per share paid each quarter. Refer to Note 18 for subsequent event disclosures related to the Company’s dividend program including an increase to the declared cash dividend per share for the subsequent quarter. The first quarterly dividend payment became payable on July 1, 2022 for holders of record as of June 15, 2022. In addition, pursuant to the terms of certain stock-based compensation awards under the Company’s Management Incentive Plan and Long-Term Incentive Plan, dividend equivalent amounts will become payable at various vesting dates with respect to each share underlying outstanding award.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a $6,977 dividend payable for the first quarterly dividend declaration, including dividend equivalents, with a reduction to the Company’s retained earnings. Of this dividend payable amount, $6,836 and $141 were included within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities, respectively, on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We expect any future dividend payments will be targeted to be paid in the first month of each calendar quarter. Any decision to pay future cash dividends will, however, be made by the Board and depend on Alpha’s future earnings and financial condition and other relevant factors.

Warrants

On July 26, 2016, the Company issued 810,811 warrants, which are classified as equity instruments. Pursuant to the underlying warrants agreement, the warrants are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis at any time until July 26, 2023, and no fractional shares shall be issued upon warrant exercises. Pursuant to the underlying warrants agreement, the exercise price was adjusted as a result of the occurrence of the dividend declaration during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The exercise price was adjusted from $46.911 per share to $46.804 per share as of the June 15, 2022 dividend record date. The warrant share number remained unchanged, at 1.15. Refer to Note 18 for subsequent event disclosures related to the Company’s dividend program which could result in an adjustment to the warrants exercise price and warrants share number.

As of June 30, 2022, 263,718 warrants remained outstanding, with a total of 303,276 shares underlying the un-exercised warrants. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company issued 553,296 and 618,157 shares of common stock, respectively, resulting from exercises of its warrants and, pursuant to the terms of the underlying warrants agreement, withheld 168,155 and 168,246 of the issued shares, respectively, in satisfaction of the warrant exercise price and in lieu of fractional shares, which were subsequently reclassified as treasury stock in the amounts of $16,644 and $16,651, respectively.

As of June 30, 2021, 801,370 warrants were outstanding, with a total of 921,576 shares underlying the un-exercised warrants. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, there were no warrants exercised.

(Unaudited, amounts in thousands except share and per share data)

The ABL Agreement provides that a specified percentage of billed and unbilled receivables and raw and clean inventory meeting certain criteria are eligible to be counted for purposes of collateralizing the amount of financing available, subject to certain terms and conditions. Availability under the ABL Facility is calculated on a monthly basis and fluctuates based on qualifying amounts of coal inventory and trade accounts receivable (the “Borrowing Base”) and the facility's covenant limitations related to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in therein). In accordance with terms of the ABL Facility, the Company may be required to collateralize the ABL Facility to the extent outstanding borrowings and letters of credit under the ABL Facility exceed the Borrowing Base after considering covenant limitations.

The ABL Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of Alpha’s direct and indirect subsidiaries (together with Alpha, the “Loan Parties”) and secured by all or substantially all assets of the Loan Parties, including equity in Alpha’s direct domestic subsidiaries, as collateral for the obligations under the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility has a first lien on ABL priority collateral and a second lien on Term Loan Priority Collateral. As noted above, the Term Loan Credit Facility was voluntarily prepaid in full on June 3, 2022, and in connection therewith, the Term Loan Priority Collateral has been released in connection therewith, and the ABL Facility’s lien on the Term Loan Priority Collateral is no longer second.

The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial and non-financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the determination of fair value for assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

	December 31, 2020		Payments		Loss (Gain) Recognized in Earnings (1)		Transfer In (Out) of Level 3 Fair Value Hierarchy		June 30, 2021
Contingent Revenue Obligation	$	28,967	$	(11,396)	$	6,333	$	—	$	23,904

(1) The loss recognized in earnings resulted primarily from a decrease in the annual risk-free interest rate as of June 30, 2021.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the assets and liabilities in the tables above:

Level 1 Fair Value Measurements

Trading Securities - Typically includes money market funds and other cash equivalents. The fair value is based on observable market data.

Level 2 Fair Value Measurements

Term Loan Credit Facility - due June 2024 - The fair value was based on the average between bid and ask prices provided by a third-party. As the fair value was based on observable market inputs and due to limited trading volume in the Term Loan Credit Facility, the Company had classified the fair value within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Effective June 3, 2022, the Term Loan Credit Facility was terminated. Refer to Note 9 for additional information.

Trading Securities - Typically includes certificates of deposit, mutual funds, corporate debt securities, and U.S. treasury and agency securities. The fair values of the Company’s trading securities are obtained from a third-party pricing service provider. The fair values provided by the pricing service provider are based on observable market inputs including credit spreads and broker-dealer quotes, among other inputs. The Company classifies the prices obtained from the pricing services within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because the underlying inputs are directly observable from active markets. However, the pricing models used entail a certain amount of subjectivity and therefore differing judgments in how the underlying inputs are modeled could result in different estimates of fair value.

Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

Environmental Settlement Obligations - Observable transactions are not available to aid in determining the fair value of these items. Therefore, the fair value was derived by using the expected present value approach in which estimated cash flows are discounted using a risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk (discount rates of approximately 14% and 13% as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively).

Contingent Revenue Obligation - The fair value of the contingent revenue obligation was estimated using a Black-Scholes pricing model and is marked to market at each reporting period with changes in value reflected in earnings. The inputs included in the Black-Scholes pricing model are the Company's forecasted future revenue, the stated royalty rate, the remaining periods in the obligation, annual risk-free interest rate based on the U.S. Constant Maturity Treasury Curve and annualized volatility. The annualized volatility was calculated by observing volatilities for comparable companies with adjustments for the Company's size and leverage. The range of significant unobservable inputs used to value the Contingent Revenue Obligation as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, are set forth in the following table:

	June 30, 2022	December 31, 2021
Forecasted future revenue	$3.5 billion	$1.5 - $2.0 billion
Stated royalty rate	1.0% - 1.5%	1.0% - 1.5%
Annualized volatility	22.1% - 42.2% (34.9%)	18.4% - 39.3% (29.9%)

(13) Income Taxes

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded income tax expense of $108,636 on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $1,085,069. The income tax expense differs from the expected statutory amount primarily due to the decrease in the valuation allowance and the permanent impact of percentage depletion and foreign-derived

23

ALPHA METALLURGICAL RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited, amounts in thousands except share and per share data)

intangible income deductions, partially offset by the impact of state income taxes, net of federal impact. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded income tax expense of $3 on a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $51,278. The income tax expense differs from the expected statutory amount primarily due to the increase in the valuation allowance and the impact of state income taxes, net of federal impact, partially offset by the permanent impact of percentage depletion deductions.

As a result of generating income before income taxes during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a decrease of $47,365 to its deferred tax asset valuation allowance recorded as of December 31, 2021. The decrease in the valuation allowance results in part from a decrease in deferred tax assets since the prior reporting date of December 31, 2021. The Company currently is relying primarily on the reversal of taxable temporary differences, along with consideration of taxable income via carryback to prior years and tax planning strategies, to support the realization of deferred tax assets. For each reporting period, the Company updates its assessment regarding the realizability of its deferred tax assets, including scheduling the reversal of its deferred tax assets and liabilities, to determine the amount of valuation allowance needed. Scheduling the reversal of deferred tax asset and liability balances requires judgment and estimation. The Company believes the deferred tax liabilities relied upon as future taxable income in its assessment will reverse in the same period and jurisdiction and are of the same character as the temporary differences giving rise to the deferred tax assets that will be realized. The valuation allowance recorded represents the portion of deferred tax assets for which the Company is unable to support realization through the methods described above.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company paid estimated federal and state income taxes of $109,074. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has recorded a current federal income taxes receivable of $12,064, classified as Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(14) Employee Benefit Plans

The components of net periodic benefit (credit) cost other than the service cost component for black lung are included in the line item miscellaneous income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Pension

The following table details the components of the net periodic benefit credit for pension obligations:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Interest cost	$	4,006	$	3,362	$	7,990	$	6,784
Expected return on plan assets	(7,181)		(7,119)		(14,366)		(14,366)
Amortization of net actuarial loss	571		734		1,055		1,609
Net periodic benefit credit	$	(2,604)	$	(3,023)	$	(5,321)	$	(5,973)

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, an annual census data actuarial revaluation of pension obligations was performed, which resulted in an increase in the liability for pension obligations of approximately $4,837 with the offset to accumulated other comprehensive gain and a slight decrease in net periodic benefit to be recognized subsequent to the revaluation date. An annual census data actuarial revaluation of pension obligations was also performed during the three months ended June 30, 2021, which resulted in a decrease in the liability for pension obligations of approximately $8,838 with the offset to accumulated other comprehensive gain and a slight increase in net periodic benefit to be recognized subsequent to the revaluation date.

Black Lung

(15) Related Party Transactions

There were no material related party transactions for the six months ended June 30, 2022 or 2021.

(16) Commitments and Contingencies

(a) General

Estimated losses from loss contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the loss contingency is made in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a loss may be incurred and that the loss could be material.

(b) Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

The Company leases coal mining and other equipment under long-term financing and operating leases with varying terms. In addition, the Company leases mineral interests and surface rights from landowners under various terms and royalty rates.

Coal royalty expense was $72,627 and $21,281 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Coal royalty expense was $129,970 and $40,039 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Other Commitments

As of June 30, 2022, the Company has obligations under certain coal purchase agreements that contain minimum quantities to be purchased in the remainder of 2022 and 2023 totaling an estimated $82,185 and $12,099, respectively. The Company also has obligations under certain unconditional purchase obligations totaling $62,095, $59,319, and $86,850 in the remainder of 2022, 2023, and 2024, respectively.

Contingencies

Extensive regulation of the impacts of mining on the environment and of maintaining workplace safety has had, and is expected to continue to have, a significant effect on the Company’s costs of production and results of operations. Further regulations, legislation or litigation in these areas may also cause the Company’s sales or profitability to decline by increasing costs or by hindering the Company’s ability to continue mining at existing operations or to permit new operations.

During the normal course of business, contract-related matters arise between the Company and its customers. When a loss related to such matters is considered probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records a liability.

As of June 30, 2022, per terms of the Cumberland Back-to-Back Coal Supply Agreements, the Company is required to purchase and sell 1,342 tons of coal in the remainder of 2022 totaling $51,860. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company purchased and sold 258 and 760 tons, respectively, totaling $9,936 and $29,487, respectively, under the Cumberland Back-to-Back Coal Supply Agreements. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company

25

ALPHA METALLURGICAL RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(Unaudited, amounts in thousands except share and per share data)

purchased and sold 677 and 1,460 tons, respectively, totaling $26,121 and $56,553, respectively, under the Cumberland Back-to-Back Coal Supply Agreements. As of June 30, 2022, the Cumberland Back-to-Back Coal Supply Agreements are scheduled to be fully performed by December 31, 2022.

(c) Guarantees and Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to certain guarantees and financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, such as bank letters of credit, performance or surety bonds, and other guarantees and indemnities related to the obligations of affiliated entities which are not reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, the underlying liabilities that they secure, such as asset retirement obligations, workers’ compensation liabilities, and royalty obligations, are reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company is required to provide financial assurance in order to perform the post-mining reclamation required by its mining permits, pay workers’ compensation claims under workers’ compensation laws in various states, pay federal black lung benefits, and perform certain other obligations. In order to provide the required financial assurance, the Company generally uses surety bonds for post-mining reclamation and workers’ compensation obligations. The Company can also use bank letters of credit to collateralize certain obligations.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $63,898 letters of credit outstanding under the Second Amended and Restated Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement. Additionally, as of June 30, 2022, the Company had $50 in letters of credit outstanding under the Credit and Security Agreement dated June 30, 2017, and related amendments, between ANR, Inc. and First Tennessee Bank National Association.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had outstanding surety bonds with a total face amount of $162,339 to secure various obligations and commitments. To secure the Company’s reclamation-related obligations, the Company has $34,678 of collateral in the form of restricted cash, restricted investments, and deposits supporting these obligations as of June 30, 2022.

The Company meets frequently with its surety providers and has discussions with certain providers regarding the extent of and the terms of their participation in the program. These discussions may cause the Company to shift surety bonds between providers or to alter the terms of their participation in our program. To the extent that surety bonds become unavailable or the Company’s surety bond providers require additional collateral, the Company would seek to secure its obligations with letters of credit, cash deposits or other suitable forms of collateral. The Company’s failure to maintain, or inability to acquire, surety bonds or to provide a suitable alternative would have a material adverse effect on its liquidity. These failures could result from a variety of factors including lack of availability, higher cost or unfavorable market terms of new surety bonds, and the exercise by third-party surety bond issuers of their right to refuse to renew the surety.

Amounts included in restricted cash provide collateral to secure the following obligations:

	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Workers’ compensation and black lung obligations	$	15,755	$	70,637
Reclamation-related obligations	929		10,449
Financial payments and other performance obligations	8,236		8,340

DCMWC Reauthorization Process

In July 2019, the U.S. Department of Labor (Division of Coal Mine Workers’ Compensation or “DCMWC”) began implementing a new authorization process for all self-insured coal mine operators. As requested by the DCMWC, the Company filed an application and supporting documentation for reauthorization to self-insure certain of its black lung obligations in October 2019. As a result of this application, the DCMWC notified the Company in a letter dated February 21, 2020 that the Company was reauthorized to self-insure certain of its black lung obligations for a period of one-year from February 21, 2020. The DCMWC reauthorization is contingent, however, upon the Company’s providing collateral of $65,700 to secure certain of its black lung obligations. This proposed collateral requirement is an increase from the approximate $2,600 in collateral that the Company currently provides to secure these self-insured black lung obligations. The reauthorization process provided the Company with the right to appeal the security determination in writing within 30 days of the date of the notification, which appeal period the DCMWC agreed to extend to May 22, 2020. The Company exercised this right of appeal in connection with the substantial increase in the amount of required collateral. In February 2021, the U.S. Department of Labor (“DOL”) withdrew its Federal Register notice seeking comments on its bulletin describing its new method of calculating collateral requirements. The Department removed the bulletin from its website in May 2021. On February 10, 2022, a telephone conference was held with DCMWC and DOL decision makers wherein the Company presented facts and arguments in support of its appeal. No ruling has been made on the appeal, but during the call the Company indicated that it would be willing to allocate an additional $10,000 in collateral. If the Company’s appeal is unsuccessful, the Company may be required to provide additional letters of credit to receive the self-insurance reauthorization from the DCMWC or alternatively insure these black lung obligations through a third party provider that would likely also require the Company to provide additional collateral. Either of these outcomes could potentially reduce the Company’s liquidity.

(d) Legal Proceedings 

The Company is party to legal proceedings from time to time. These proceedings, as well as governmental examinations, could involve various business units and a variety of claims including, but not limited to, contract disputes, personal injury claims, property damage claims (including those resulting from blasting, trucking and flooding), environmental and safety issues, securities-related matters and employment matters. While some legal matters may specify the damages claimed by the plaintiffs, many seek an unquantified amount of damages. Even when the amount of damages claimed against the Company or its subsidiaries is stated, (i) the claimed amount may be exaggerated or unsupported; (ii) the claim may be based on a novel legal theory or involve a large number of parties; (iii) there may be uncertainty as to the likelihood of a class being certified or the ultimate size of the class; (iv) there may be uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; and/or (v) there may be significant factual issues to be resolved. As a result, if such legal matters arise in the future, the Company may be unable to estimate a range of possible loss for matters that have not yet progressed sufficiently through discovery and development of important factual information and legal issues. The Company records accruals based on an estimate of the ultimate outcome of these matters, but these estimates can be difficult to determine and involve significant judgment.

GLOSSARY

Alpha. Alpha Metallurgical Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) (previously named Contura Energy, Inc.).

Ash. Impurities consisting of iron, alumina and other incombustible matter that are contained in coal. Since ash increases the weight of coal, it adds to the cost of handling and can affect the burning characteristics of coal.

Bituminous coal. Coal used primarily to generate electricity and to make coke for the steel industry with a heat value ranging between 10,500 and 15,500 BTU’s per pound.

British Thermal Unit or BTU. A measure of the thermal energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of pure liquid water one degree Fahrenheit at the temperature at which water has its greatest density (39 degrees Fahrenheit).

Central Appalachia or CAPP. Coal producing area in eastern Kentucky, Virginia, southern West Virginia and a portion of eastern Tennessee.

Coal reserves. The economically mineable part of a measured or indicated coal resource, which includes diluting materials and allowances for losses that may occur when coal is mined or extracted.

Coal resources. Coal deposits in such form, quality, and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for economic extraction.

Coal seam. Coal deposits occur in layers. Each layer is called a “seam.”

Coke. A hard, dry carbon substance produced by heating coal to a very high temperature in the absence of air. Coke is used in the manufacture of iron and steel. Its production results in a number of useful byproducts.

Cumberland Back-to-Back Coal Supply Agreement. Certain agreements with Iron Senergy under which Iron Senergy will sell to the Company all of the coal that the Company is obligated to sell to customers under Cumberland coal supply agreements (“Cumberland CSAs”) which existed as of the transaction closing date but did not transfer to Iron Senergy at closing (each, a “Cumberland Back-to-Back Coal Supply Agreement”). Each Cumberland Back-to-Back Coal Supply Agreement has economic terms identical to, but offsetting, the related Cumberland CSA. If a Cumberland customer subsequently consents to assign a Cumberland CSA to Iron Senergy after closing, the related Cumberland CSA will immediately and automatically transfer to Iron Senergy and the related Cumberland Back-to-Back Coal Supply Agreements executed by the parties shall thereupon terminate as set forth therein.

ESG. Environmental, social and governance sustainability criteria.

Indicated coal resource. That part of a coal resource for which quantity and quality are estimated on the basis of adequate geological evidence and sampling sufficient to establish geological and quality continuity with reasonable certainty.

In situ coal resources. Coal resources stated on an in-seam dry basis (excluding surface and inherent moisture) with no consideration for dilution or losses that may occur when coal is mined or extracted.

Measured coal resource. That part of a coal resource for which quantity and quality are estimated on the basis of conclusive geological evidence and sampling sufficient to test and confirm geological and quality continuity.

Merger. Merger with ANR, Inc. and Alpha Natural Resources Holdings, Inc. completed on November 9, 2018.

Metallurgical coal. The various grades of coal suitable for carbonization to make coke for steel manufacture. Also known as “met” coal, its quality is primarily differentiated based on volatility or its percent of volatile matter. Met coal typically has a particularly high BTU but low ash and sulfur content.

Northern Appalachia or NAPP. Coal producing area in Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia.

Operating Margin. Coal revenues less cost of coal sales.

32

Preparation plant. A preparation plant is a facility for crushing, sizing and washing coal to remove impurities and prepare it for use by a particular customer. The washing process has the added benefit of removing some of the coal’s sulfur content. A preparation plant is usually located on a mine site, although one plant may serve several mines.

Probable mineral reserve. The economically mineable part of an indicated and, in some cases, a measured coal resource.

Productivity. As used in this report, refers to clean metric tons of coal produced per underground man hour worked, as published by the MSHA.

Proven mineral reserve. The economically mineable part of a measured coal resource.

Reclamation. The process of restoring land and the environment to their original state following mining activities. The process commonly includes “recontouring” or reshaping the land to its approximate original appearance, restoring topsoil and planting native grass and ground covers. Reclamation operations are usually underway before the mining of a particular site is completed. Reclamation is closely regulated by both state and federal law.

Roof. The stratum of rock or other mineral above a coal seam; the overhead surface of a coal working place.

Sulfur. One of the elements present in varying quantities in coal that contributes to environmental degradation when coal is burned. Sulfur dioxide is produced as a gaseous by-product of coal combustion.

Surface mine. A mine in which the coal lies near the surface and can be extracted by removing the covering layer of soil.

Thermal coal. Coal used by power plants and industrial steam boilers to produce electricity, steam or both. It generally is lower in BTU heat content and higher in volatile matter than metallurgical coal.

Tons. A “short” or net ton is equal to 2,000 pounds. A “long” or British ton is equal to 2,240 pounds; a “metric” ton (or “tonne”) is approximately 2,205 pounds. Tonnage amounts in this report are stated in short tons, unless otherwise indicated.

Underground mine. Also known as a “deep” mine. Usually located several hundred feet below the earth’s surface, an underground mine’s coal is removed mechanically and transferred by shuttle car and conveyor to the surface.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis provides a narrative of our results of operations and financial condition for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements and should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes and risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere herein.

Market Overview

Concern regarding global steel demand has caused metallurgical coal markets to soften. Indices have retreated from their record highs down to levels that are still considered strong relative to historical averages. Overall weakening of the global economy, the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, inflation concerns, and recession fears have all influenced the pricing and movement of coal across the globe. Trade irregularities resulting from the Russian war have created inefficiencies in trade flows as well as an imbalance in the typical pricing hierarchy for coal qualities. The war has created an energy crisis in Europe, which has caused certain thermal coals to command a higher price than premium coking coals in some markets, further challenging pre-pandemic coal market norms.

The Australian Premium Low Volatile index dropped from $480 per metric ton on April 1, 2022, to $302 per metric ton at the end of the second quarter. The U.S. East Coast indices followed a similar downward trajectory, with the High Volatile A index starting the quarter at $480 per metric ton and declining to $330 per metric ton at quarter close on June 30, 2022. U.S. East Coast High Volatile B fell from $455 per metric ton to $320 over the course of the second quarter. Lastly, among the U.S. East Coast indices, the Low Volatile index represented the largest decline of the quarter from $485 per metric ton at the start to $317.50 per metric ton at the end of June. As of late July, all four indices have continued to decrease from their levels at second quarter close.

Global economic indicators reveal slowing growth patterns and demonstrate the effects of the Russian war on certain regions of the world and specific industries. While still in positive territory, Purchasing Managers’ Index (“PMI”) rates for the world, the United States and Europe all ended the quarter at their lowest levels in 22 months or more. The world manufacturing PMI dropped to 52.2 in June, its lowest level in 22 months. The United States PMI index registered its lowest level since July 2020, dropping significantly to 52.7 in June 2022 from a May level of 57.0. Europe’s PMI decreased from 54.6 in May to 52.1 in June, the bottom in a 22-month span. In contrast to the U.S., Europe, and the world average, certain of Alpha’s key markets have remained stable or shown steadier growth. India’s June PMI of 53.9 is down from 54.6 in May but roughly flat as compared to its first quarter levels. After rebounding from contractionary territory at the start of the year, Brazil’s PMI continued to improve in recent months to 54.2 in May and held virtually the same at 54.1 in June. China’s easing of COVID-19 lockdowns resulted in a sharp increase from a contractionary PMI of 48.1 in May to 51.7 in June.

The World Steel Association’s global crude steel production was 158.1 million metric tons in June 2022, a 5.9% decrease as compared to the year-ago period of June 2021. All regions represented in the analysis posted a decline against their June 2021 levels. Among Alpha’s key markets, the European Union’s June 2022 crude steel production of 11.8 million metric tons represented the largest percentage decline (12.2%) in comparison to its year-ago levels. South American production of 3.7 million metric tons was down 4.9% against June 2021. Steel production in North America of 9.6 million metric tons for the month represented a 2.4% decrease as compared to the year-ago period. China produced 90.7 million metric tons in June 2022, a 3.3% decline as compared to June 2021.

The American Iron and Steel Institute’s capacity utilization rate for U.S. steel mills was 78.4% for the week ending July 30, 2022. This is down in comparison to the year-ago period of July 30, 2021 when the capacity utilization rate was 84.4%.

The seaborne thermal coal market has experienced significant volatility since Russia invaded Ukraine in February. The war has affected energy trade flows, especially related to Europe, as many countries have imposed sanctions to ban or curtail imports of Russian oil and coal. As a result, the price of thermal coal has increased substantially above historical averages. The API2 index started the second quarter at $260 per metric ton on April 1, 2022 and rose to $370.35 per metric ton as of quarter close on June 30, 2022. In addition to our existing thermal coal contracts, Alpha sold some incremental domestic thermal shipments in the quarter.

Our realizations and overall financial results depend upon the market prices of our products. As discussed above, prices for metallurgical coal, while still robust, have declined from historic highs in recent months. We therefore expect a commensurate decrease in our coal revenues and margins in the second half of 2022 compared to the first half. If coal prices were to decline further, our future results would be additionally affected.

COVID-19 Pandemic

34

The COVID-19 pandemic has had negative impacts on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Our Company experienced an increase in employee absences due to COVID-19. Indirectly, through some of our third-party vendors, we and our customers have experienced some supply chain disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration of the virus, its impact on our customers and suppliers, and the range of governmental and community reactions to the pandemic, which cannot be fully predicted. Health and safety are core values of our Company and are the foundation for how we manage every aspect of our business. We continue to monitor developments closely and adjust as necessary, including with respect to our implemented policies, procedures, and prevention measures to protect the safety and health of our employees.

Business Overview

We are a Tennessee-based mining company with operations across Virginia and West Virginia. With customers across the globe, high-quality reserves and significant port capacity, we reliably supply metallurgical coal products to the steel industry. We operate high-quality, cost-competitive coal mines across the CAPP coal basin. As of June 30, 2022, our operations consisted of twenty active mines and eight coal preparation and load-out facilities, with approximately 3,560 employees. We produce, process, and sell met coal and thermal coal. We also sell coal produced by others, some of which is processed and/or blended with coal produced from our mines prior to resale, with the remainder purchased for resale. As of December 31, 2021, we had 351.1 million tons of reserves, including 335.8 million tons of proven and probable metallurgical reserves and 15.3 million tons of proven and probable thermal reserves. Additionally, we had approximately 381.7 million tons of in situ bituminous coal resources.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, sales of met coal were 3.8 million tons and 3.3 million tons, respectively, and accounted for approximately 87% and 83%, respectively, of our coal sales volume. Sales of thermal coal were 0.5 million tons and 0.7 million tons, respectively, and accounted for approximately 13% and 17%, respectively, of our coal sales volume. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, sales of met coal were 7.3 million tons and 6.7 million tons, respectively, and accounted for approximately 88% and 83%, respectively, of our coal sales volume. Sales of thermal coal were 1.0 million tons and 1.4 million tons, respectively, and accounted for approximately 12% and 17%, respectively, of our coal sales volume.

Our sales of met coal were made primarily to steel companies in the northeastern and midwestern regions of the United States and in several countries in Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Our sales of thermal coal were made primarily to large utilities and industrial customers throughout the United States. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 approximately 86% and 65%, respectively, of our coal revenues were derived from coal sales made to customers outside the United States. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 approximately 85% and 64%, respectively, of our total coal revenues were derived from coal sales made to customers outside the United States.

In addition, we generate other revenues from equipment sales, rentals, terminal and processing fees, coal and environmental analysis fees, royalties and the sale of natural gas. We also record freight and handling fulfillment revenue within coal revenues for freight and handling services provided in delivering coal to certain customers, which are a component of the contractual selling price.

As of June 30, 2022, we have one reportable segment: Met. Our Met segment operations consist of high-quality met coal mines, including Deep Mine 41, Road Fork 52, Black Eagle, and Lynn Branch. The coal produced by our Met segment operations is predominantly met coal with some amounts of thermal coal being produced as a byproduct of mining. In addition to the one reportable segment, our All Other category includes general corporate overhead and corporate assets and liabilities, our former CAPP - Thermal operations consisting of one active mine and one preparation plant in West Virginia, and the elimination of certain intercompany activity, as well as expenses associated with certain idled/closed mines. Refer to Note 17 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional disclosures on reportable segments, geographic areas, and export coal revenue information.

The disposition of our former NAPP operations during the fourth quarter of 2020 accelerated our strategic exit from thermal coal production to shift our focus toward met coal production. The former NAPP operations results of operations and financial position are reported as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 2 for further information on discontinued operations.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

Sales Agreements. We manage our commodity price risk for coal sales through the use of coal supply agreements. As of July 22, 2022, we had sales commitments for 2022 as follows:

	Tons	% Priced		Average Realized Price per Ton
Met - Domestic				$189.87
Met - Export				$303.51
Met Total	14.5 million	69	%	$260.69
Thermal	1.2 million	100	%	$89.91
Met Segment	15.7 million	73	%	$240.42
All Other	0.7 million	100	%	$83.38

Realized Pricing. Our realized price per ton of coal is influenced by many factors that vary by region, including (i) coal quality, which includes energy (heat content), sulfur, ash, volatile matter and moisture content; (ii) differences in market conventions concerning transportation costs and volume measurement; and (iii) regional supply and demand.

Costs. Our results of operations are dependent upon our ability to maximize productivity and control costs. Our primary expenses are for operating supply costs, repair and maintenance expenditures, cost of purchased coal, royalties, wages and benefits, freight and handling costs and taxes incurred in selling our coal. Principal goods and services we use in our operations include maintenance and repair parts and services, electricity, fuel, roof control and support items, explosives, tires, conveyance structures, ventilation supplies and lubricants. Our management strives to aggressively control costs and improve operating performance to mitigate external cost pressures. We experience volatility in operating costs related to fuel, explosives, steel, tires, contract services and healthcare, among others, and take measures to mitigate the increases in these costs at all operations. We have a centralized sourcing group for major supplier contract negotiation and administration, for the negotiation and purchase of major capital goods, and to support the business units. We promote competition between suppliers and seek to develop relationships with suppliers that focus on lowering our costs. We seek suppliers who identify and concentrate on implementing continuous improvement opportunities within their area of expertise. To the extent upward pressure on costs exceeds our ability to realize sales increases, or if we experience unanticipated operating or transportation difficulties, our operating margins would be negatively impacted. We may also experience difficult geologic conditions, delays in obtaining permits, labor shortages, unforeseen equipment problems, and unexpected shortages of critical materials such as tires, fuel and explosives that may result in adverse cost increases and limit our ability to produce at forecasted levels.

Results of Operations

Our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are discussed in these “Results of Operations” presented below.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021

Revenues

The following table summarizes information about our revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Increase (Decrease)
(In thousands, except for per ton data)	2022		2021		$ or Tons		%
Coal revenues	$	1,334,258	$	393,458	$	940,800	239.1	%
Other revenues	2,154		1,817		337		18.5	%

Tons sold	4,304		4,021		283		7.0	%

Coal revenues. Coal revenues increased $940.8 million, or 239.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher coal sales realization within our Met segment operations as a result of an improved pricing environment during the current period. Increasing coal demand, resulting from improved

36

economic activity, coupled with a limited supply response contributed to a rise in coal prices. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Coal revenues” section below for further detail on coal revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period.

Cost and Expenses

The following table summarizes information about our costs and expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Increase (Decrease)
(In thousands)	2022		2021		$		%
Cost of coal sales (exclusive of items shown separately below)	$	625,892	$	346,763	$	279,129	80.5	%
Depreciation, depletion and amortization	27,730		27,304		426		1.6	%
Accretion on asset retirement obligations	5,947		6,648		(701)		(10.5)	%
Amortization of acquired intangibles, net	5,747		2,553		3,194		125.1	%
Selling, general and administrative expenses (exclusive of depreciation, depletion and amortization shown separately above)	18,158		14,645		3,513		24.0	%
Total other operating loss (income):
Mark-to-market adjustment for acquisition-related obligations	4,208		3,157		1,051		33.3	%
Other income	(1,516)		(3,608)		2,092		58.0	%
Total costs and expenses	$	686,166	$	397,462	$	288,704	72.6	%

Cost of coal sales. Cost of coal sales increased $279.1 million, or 80.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by increased rail freight costs, royalties and taxes, salaries and wages expense, and supplies and maintenance expense.

Amortization of acquired intangibles, net. Amortization of acquired intangibles, net increased $3.2 million, or 125.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by accelerated current period amortization of certain acquired mine permits as a result of an update to the estimated life of the associated mines.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.5 million, or 24.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. This increase in expense was primarily related to increases of $2.0 million in incentive pay, $0.9 million in wages and benefits expense, and $0.6 million in stock compensation expense, partially offset by decreases of $0.5 million in professional fees and $0.4 million in severance pay.

Mark-to-market adjustment for acquisition-related obligations. The mark-to-market adjustment for acquisition-related obligations resulted in a decrease to income of $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. This decrease was related to the $4.2 million Contingent Revenue Obligation mark-to-market adjustment recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to changes in underlying fair value assumptions during the current period. Refer to Note 12 for Contingent Revenue Obligation fair value input assumptions.

Other income. Other income decreased $2.1 million, or 58.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in income on sale of assets in the current period.

37

Other (Expense) Income

The following table summarizes information about our other (expense) income during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Increase (Decrease)
(In thousands)	2022		2021		$		%
Other (expense) income:
Interest expense	$	(5,218)	$	(17,962)	$	12,744	70.9	%
Interest income	164		104		60		57.7	%
Equity loss in affiliates	(2,136)		(384)		(1,752)		(456.3)	%
Miscellaneous income, net	1,385		1,847		(462)		(25.0)	%
Total other expense, net	$	(5,805)	$	(16,395)	$	10,590	64.6	%

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $12.7 million, or 70.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in debt outstanding. Refer to Note 9 for additional information.

Income Tax Expense

The following table summarizes information about our income tax expense during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Increase (Decrease)
(In thousands)	2022		2021		$		%
Income tax expense	$	(69,012)	$	(8)	$	(69,004)	(862,550.0)	%

Income taxes. Income tax expense of $69.0 million was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2022 on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $644.4 million. The effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the decrease in the valuation allowance and the permanent impact of percentage depletion and foreign-derived intangible income deductions.

Income tax expense of $8 thousand was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2021 on a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $18.6 million. The effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the increase in the valuation allowance. Refer to Note 13 for additional information.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The discussion below contains “non-GAAP financial measures.” These are financial measures which either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”). Specifically, we make use of the non-GAAP financial measures “Adjusted EBITDA,” “non-GAAP coal revenues,” “non-GAAP cost of coal sales,” “non-GAAP coal margin,” and “Adjusted cost of produced coal sold.” We use Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of our segments and allocate resources to the segments. Adjusted EBITDA does not purport to be an alternative to net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance or any other measure of operating results or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. We use non-GAAP coal revenues to present coal revenues generated, excluding freight and handling fulfillment revenues. Non-GAAP coal sales realization per ton for our operations is calculated as non-GAAP coal revenues divided by tons sold. We use non-GAAP cost of coal sales to adjust cost of coal sales to remove freight and handling costs, depreciation, depletion and amortization - production (excluding the depreciation, depletion and amortization related to selling, general and administrative functions), accretion on asset retirement obligations, amortization of acquired intangibles, net, and idled and closed mine costs. Non-GAAP cost of coal sales per ton for our operations is calculated as non-GAAP cost of coal sales divided by tons sold. Non-GAAP coal margin per ton for our coal operations is calculated as non-GAAP coal sales realization per ton for our coal operations less non-GAAP cost of coal sales per ton for our coal operations. We also use Adjusted cost of produced coal sold to distinguish the cost of captive produced coal from the effects of purchased coal. The presentation of these measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

38

Management uses non-GAAP financial measures to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. The definition of these non-GAAP measures may be changed periodically by management to adjust for significant items important to an understanding of operating trends and to adjust for items that may not reflect the trend of future results by excluding transactions that are not indicative of our core operating performance. Furthermore, analogous measures are used by industry analysts to evaluate the Company’s operating performance. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate, and capital investments.

Included below are reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures.

The following tables summarize certain financial information relating to our coal operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is presented as a supplemental measure and is not intended to replace financial performance or liquidity measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, this measure is not calculated identically by all companies and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it is a useful indicator of the financial performance of our coal operations. The following tables present a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Coal revenues. Coal revenues increased $1,625.1 million, or 208.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher coal sales realization within our Met segment operations as a result of an improved pricing environment during the current period. Increasing coal demand, resulting from improved economic activity, coupled with a limited supply response contributed to a rise in coal prices. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Coal revenues” section below for further detail on coal revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year

Total costs and expenses	$	1,305,039	$	800,217	$	504,822	63.1	%

Cost of coal sales. Cost of coal sales increased $487.0 million, or 70.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by increased rail freight costs, royalties and taxes, salaries and wages expense, supplies and maintenance expense, and an increase in tons sold, partially offset by inventory change during the current period.

Amortization of acquired intangibles, net. Amortization of acquired intangibles, net increased $5.1 million, or 79.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by accelerated current period amortization of certain acquired mine permits as a result of an update to the estimated life of the associated mines.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.6 million, or 12.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. This increase in expense was primarily related to increases of $2.1 million in wages and benefits expense and $2.0 million in incentive pay, partially offset by decreases of $0.5 million in professional fees and $0.4 million in severance pay.

44

Mark-to-market adjustment for acquisition-related obligations. The mark-to-market adjustment for acquisition-related obligations resulted in a decrease to income of $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. This decrease was related to the $13.6 million Contingent Revenue Obligation mark-to-market adjustment recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to changes in underlying fair value assumptions during the current period. Refer to Note 12 for Contingent Revenue Obligation fair value input assumptions.

Other income. Other income decreased $2.7 million, or 55.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in income on sale of assets in the current period.

Other (Expense) Income

Income tax expense	$	(108,636)	$	(3)	$	(108,633)	(3,621,100.0)	%

Income taxes. Income tax expense of $108.6 million was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2022 on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $1,085.1 million. The effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the decrease in the valuation allowance and the permanent impact of percentage depletion and foreign-derived intangible income deductions.

Income tax expense of $3 thousand was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2021 on a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $51.3 million. The effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the increase in the valuation allowance. Refer to Note 13 for additional information.

Non-GAAP Coal revenues. Met segment operations non-GAAP coal revenues increased $1,460.1 million, or 238.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher average non-GAAP coal sales realization of 220.0% per ton resulting from an improved pricing environment and an increase in tons sold compared to the prior year period.

All Other category non-GAAP coal revenues decreased $10.7 million, or 25.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period primarily due to a decrease in tons sold and a decrease in realization per ton.

Non-GAAP Cost of coal sales. Met segment operations non-GAAP cost of coal sales increased $318.2 million, or 60.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by increased rail freight costs, royalties and taxes, supplies and maintenance expense, salaries and wages expense, and an increase in tons sold, partially offset by inventory change during the current period.

All Other category non-GAAP cost of coal sales decreased $3.2 million, or 11.1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is presented as a supplemental measure and is not intended to replace financial performance or liquidity measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, this measure is not calculated identically by all companies and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it is a useful indicator of the financial performance of our coal operations. The following tables present a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Met segment operations. Adjusted EBITDA increased $1,140.2 million, or 1,436.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by increased coal margin and an increase in coal sales volumes.

All Other category. Adjusted EBITDA decreased $10.6 million, or 100.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by decreased coal margin and a decrease in tons sold.

Discontinued Operations

The former NAPP operations results of operations and financial position are reported as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 2 for further information on discontinued operations. Refer to Note 16 for disclosures on the Cumberland Back-to-Back Coal Supply Agreements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary liquidity and capital resource requirements stem from the cost of our coal production and purchases, our capital expenditures, our debt service, our reclamation obligations, taxes, our regulatory costs and settlements and associated costs. Our primary sources of liquidity are derived from sales of coal, our debt financing, and miscellaneous revenues.

We believe that cash on hand and cash generated from our operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements, anticipated capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisition-related obligations, and reclamation obligations for the next 12 months and the reasonably foreseeable future. The Company may also use cash in accordance with its share repurchase program and dividend program. We rely on a number of assumptions in budgeting for our future activities. These include the costs for mine development to sustain capacity of our operating mines, our cash flows from operations, effects of regulation and taxes by governmental agencies, mining technology improvements and reclamation costs. These assumptions are inherently subject to significant business, political, economic, regulatory, environmental and competitive uncertainties, pending and existing climate-related initiatives, contingencies and risks, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Increased scrutiny of ESG matters specific to the coal sector could negatively influence our ability to raise capital in the future and result in a reduced number of surety and insurance providers. We may need to raise additional funds if market conditions deteriorate, and we may not be able to do so in a timely fashion, on terms acceptable to us, or at all; or one or more of our assumptions prove to be incorrect or if we choose to expand our acquisition, exploration, appraisal, or development efforts or any other activity more rapidly than we presently anticipate. Additionally, we may elect to raise additional funds before we need them if the conditions for raising capital are favorable. We may seek to sell equity or debt securities or obtain additional bank credit facilities. The sale of equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of additional indebtedness could result in increased fixed obligations and additional covenants that could restrict our operations.

Liquidity

The following table summarizes our total liquidity as of June 30, 2022:

Cash Collateral

We are required to provide cash collateral to secure our obligations under certain worker’s compensation, black lung, reclamation-related obligations, financial payments and other performance obligations, and other operating agreements. Additionally, we have short-term restricted cash held in escrow related to our Contingent Revenue Obligation (refer to Note 10). Future regulatory changes relating to these obligations could result in increased obligations, additional costs, or additional collateral requirements which could require greater use of alternative sources of funding for this purpose, which would reduce our liquidity. Refer to the DCMWC Reauthorization Process section below for information related to the new authorization process for self-insured coal mine operators being implemented by the U.S. Department of Labor (Division of Coal Mine Workers’ Compensation). As of June 30, 2022, we had the following cash collateral on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

(in thousands)	June 30, 2022
Short-term and long-term restricted cash	$	34,768
Long-term restricted investments	94,794
Short-term and long-term deposits	1,366
Total cash collateral	$	130,928

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are required to provide financial assurance in order to perform the post-mining reclamation required by our mining permits, pay workers’ compensation claims under workers’ compensation laws in various states, pay federal black lung benefits, and perform certain other obligations. In order to provide the required financial assurance, we generally use surety bonds for post-mining reclamation and workers’ compensation obligations. We also use bank letters of credit to collateralize certain obligations. As of June 30, 2022, we had the following outstanding surety bonds and letters of credit:

(in thousands)	June 30, 2022
Surety bonds	$	162,339
Letters of credit (1)	$	63,948

(1) The letters of credit outstanding are under the Second Amended and Restated Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement dated December 6, 2021 and the Credit and Security Agreement dated June 30, 2017, and related amendments, between ANR, Inc. and First Tennessee Bank National Association.

Refer to Note 16, part (c) for further disclosures on off-balance sheet arrangements.

Debt Financing and Related Transactions

As of June 30, 2022, we had $4.7 million of indebtedness outstanding before debt discount and issuance costs. Our indebtedness is comprised of financing leases and other financing obligations. Our Credit Agreement entered into on June 14, 2019 provided for a senior secured term loan facility with a maturity date of June 14, 2024 (the “Term Loan Credit Facility”). As of June 30, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Facility as a result of voluntary prepayments of $449.4 million of outstanding principal borrowings during the first and second quarters of 2022 in our continued strategic effort to reduce our outstanding debt and strengthen our balance sheet. Effective with the final voluntary prepayment on June 3, 2022, the Credit Agreement was terminated, and we were released of all underlying obligations including the Credit Agreement covenants.

The ABL Agreement includes a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”). Under the ABL Facility, the Company may borrow cash or obtain letters of credit, on a revolving basis, in an aggregate amount of up to $155.0 million, of which no more than $150.0 million may represent outstanding letters of credit ($125.0 million on a committed basis and another $25.0 million on an uncommitted cash collateralized basis) with any borrowings having a maturity date of December 6, 2024. Availability under the ABL Facility is calculated on a monthly basis and fluctuates based on qualifying amounts of coal inventory and trade accounts receivable (the “Borrowing Base”) and the facility's covenant limitations related to our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (refer to “Analysis of Material Debt Covenants” below). In accordance with terms of the ABL Facility, we may be required to cash collateralize the ABL Facility to the extent outstanding borrowings and letters of credit under the ABL Facility exceed the Borrowing Base after considering covenant limitations.

51

During the second quarter of 2022, in connection with our improved financial position, we received a reduction of $40.1 million in collateral requirements under the ABL Facility related to our self-insured workers compensation at certain locations in West Virginia. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2022 and as part of routine surety program review and negotiation, we received a $16.5 million reduction in surety collateral requirements under the ABL Facility, while securing multi-year visibility on surety program terms and conditions. These collateral releases increased our availability under the ABL Facility and thus our financial liquidity.

Refer to Note 9 for additional disclosures on long-term debt.

Acquisition-Related Obligations

At June 30, 2022, we had $36.3 million of acquisition-related obligations outstanding before discount. Our acquisition-related obligations are primarily comprised of the Contingent Revenue Obligation which has an offsetting short-term restricted cash amount held in escrow (refer to Note 10 and Note 16). During the second quarter of 2022, we paid $16.2 million pursuant to the terms of the Contingent Revenue Obligation.

Capital Requirements

We expect to spend between $160.0 million and $190.0 million on capital expenditures during 2022.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations are discussed in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Contractual Obligations” section contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Our contractual obligations relating to the Term Loan Credit Facility were eliminated during the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to the final voluntary prepayments we made during the period terminating our Credit Agreement. Our contractual obligations relating to the Contingent Revenue Obligation decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily as a result of payments made during the period, partially offset by an increase in forecasted future revenue. Our contractual obligations relating to coal purchase commitments increased during the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily as a result of new agreements during the period. Additionally, our contractual obligations relating to unconditional purchase obligations decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily as a result of expected fulfillment of commitments during the current period, partially offset by new agreements. The table below reflects these obligations as of June 30, 2022:

Refer to Note 9, Note 10, and Note 16 for additional disclosures on long-term debt, acquisition-related obligations, and other commitments, respectively.

Business Updates

On June 3, 2022, in a significant step in further strengthening our balance sheet, we voluntarily prepaid in full the remaining outstanding principal borrowings of the Term Loan Credit Facility two years ahead of maturity.

On July 28, 2022, S&P Global Ratings upgraded its issuer credit rating on the Company to B from B- following our full repayment of the Term Loan Credit Facility and amid improving credit metrics. The rating outlook was noted as stable. On July 21, 2022, Moody’s Investors Service upgraded our Corporate Family Rating to B2 from B3, upgraded our Probability of Default Rating to B2-PD from B3-PD, assigned a B1 rating to our ABL Facility, and withdrew the B3 rating on our Term Loan Credit Facility following our full repayment. Our Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating remained unchanged at SGL-2. The rating outlook was revised to positive from stable. On March 30, 2022, S&P Global Ratings upgraded its issuer-level rating on our

52

senior secured debt to B from B- amid favorable market indicators and credit metrics. The rating outlook was revised to positive from stable. Should we receive any negative outlook ratings in the future, such negative outlook ratings would result in potential liquidity risks for us, including the risks of declines in our stock value, declines in our cash and cash equivalents, less availability and higher costs of additional credit, and requests for additional collateral by surety providers.

Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—COVID-19 Pandemic” for information on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.

We continually strive to enhance our capital structure and financial flexibility and reduce cash outflows from operations. As opportunities arise, we will continue to consider the possibility of refinancing, repayment or repurchase of any outstanding debt and amendment of our credit facility, and may consider the sale of other assets or businesses, and such other measures as we believe circumstances warrant. We may decide to pursue or not pursue these opportunities at any time. Access to additional funds from liquidity-generating transactions or other sources of external financing is subject to market conditions and certain limitations, including our credit rating and covenant restrictions in our credit facilities.

As a regular part of our business, we review opportunities for, and engage in discussions and negotiations concerning, the acquisition or disposition of coal mining and related infrastructure assets and interests in coal mining companies, and acquisitions or dispositions of, or combinations or other strategic transactions involving companies with coal mining or other energy assets. When we believe that these opportunities are consistent with our strategic plans and our acquisition or disposition criteria, we will make bids or proposals and/or enter into letters of intent and other similar agreements. These bids or proposals, which may be binding or non-binding, are customarily subject to a variety of conditions and usually permit us to terminate the discussions and any related agreement if, among other things, we are not satisfied with the results of due diligence. Any acquisition opportunities we pursue could materially affect our liquidity and capital resources and may require us to incur indebtedness, seek equity capital or both. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

Income Taxes

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we paid estimated income taxes of $109.1 million. Refer to Note 13 for further disclosures related to income taxes.

Pension Plans

We expect our minimum required contributions to the pension plans to be $0.5 million in the remainder of 2022. Refer to Note 14 for further disclosures related to this obligation.

Discontinued Operations

Refer to Note 2 for disclosure information on discontinued operations.

DCMWC Reauthorization Process

In July 2019, the U.S. Department of Labor (Division of Coal Mine Workers’ Compensation or “DCMWC”) began implementing a new authorization process for all self-insured coal mine operators. As requested by DCMWC, we filed an application and supporting documentation for reauthorization to self-insure certain of our black lung obligations in October 2019. As a result of this application, the DCMWC notified us in a letter dated February 21, 2020 that we were reauthorized to self-insure certain of our black lung obligations for a period of one-year from February 21, 2020. The DCMWC reauthorization is contingent, however, upon us providing collateral of $65.7 million to secure certain of our black lung obligations. This collateral requirement, which the DCMWC advises represents 70% of our estimated future liability according to the DCMWC’s estimation methodology, is an increase of approximately 2,400% from the approximately $2.6 million in collateral which we (previously by Alpha Natural Resources Inc. prior to the Merger) have provided since 2016 to secure these self-insured black lung obligations. Future liability has not previously been estimated by the DCMWC in connection with the reauthorization process but is now being considered as part of its new collateral-setting methodology.

The reauthorization process provided us with the right to appeal the security determination in writing within 30 days of the date of the notification, which appeal period the DCMWC agreed to extend to May 22, 2020, and we exercised this right of appeal. We strongly disagree with the DCMWC’s substantially higher collateral determination and the methodology through which the calculation was derived. In February 2021, the U.S. Department of Labor (“DOL”) withdrew its Federal Register notice seeking comments on its bulletin describing its new method of calculating collateral requirements. The Department

53

removed the bulletin from its website in May 2021. On February 10, 2022, a telephone conference was held with DCMWC and DOL decision makers wherein we presented facts and arguments in support of our appeal. No ruling has been made on the appeal, but during the call we indicated that we would be willing to allocate an additional $10.0 million in collateral. If our appeal is unsuccessful, we may be required to provide additional letters of credit in order to receive self-insurance reauthorization from the DCMWC or insure these black lung obligations through a third party provider, which would likely also require us to provide additional collateral. Either of these outcomes would significantly reduce our liquidity.

Share Repurchase Program

Refer to Note 7 and “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” for information on the share repurchase program and the shares repurchased during the current period.

Dividend Program

Refer to Note 7 and Note 18 for information related to our dividend program, the cash dividends declared during the current period, and the related subsequent event disclosures.

Cash Flows

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash increased by $13.9 million and decreased by $75.7 million over the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The net change in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash was attributable to the following:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021
Cash flows (in thousands):
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	802,056	$	(25,451)
Net cash used in investing activities	(147,149)		(40,802)
Net cash used in financing activities	(641,021)		(9,429)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	13,886	$	(75,682)

Operating Activities. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period was primarily attributable to the improvement in our results from operations as discussed above in “Results of Operations,” partially offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily attributable to an increase in our working capital. Our working capital increase was primarily driven by an increase in our trade accounts receivable, net.

Investing Activities. The increase in net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period was primarily driven by increases in our purchases of investment securities and capital expenditures, partially offset by an increase in the maturity of investment securities.

Financing Activities. The increase in net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period was primarily driven by the voluntary prepayments of our remaining outstanding principal borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Facility and the common stock repurchases under our share repurchase program during the current period (refer to Note 7 and Note 9 for further information).

Analysis of Material Debt Covenants

We are in compliance with all covenants under the ABL Agreement, as of June 30, 2022. A breach of the covenants in the ABL Agreement could result in a default under the terms of such agreement, and the respective lenders could then elect to declare all amounts borrowed due and payable.

Pursuant to the ABL Agreement, during any Liquidity Period (capitalized terms as defined in the ABL Agreement), our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio cannot be less than 1.0 as of the last day of any Test Period, commencing with the Test Period ended immediately preceding the commencement of such Liquidity Period. The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is calculated as (a) Consolidated EBITDA of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period, minus non-financed Capital Expenditures (including Capital Expenditures financed with the proceeds of any Loans) paid or payable currently in cash by the

54

Company or any of its Subsidiaries for such period to (b) the Fixed Charges of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries during such period. As of June 30, 2022, we were not in a Liquidity Period.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors and assumptions, including the current economic environment, that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and adjust such estimates and assumptions as facts and circumstances require. Foreign currency and energy markets, and fluctuations in demand for steel products have combined to increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in these estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.

Our critical accounting policies are discussed in the“Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” section contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Our critical accounting policies remain unchanged at June 30, 2022. Refer to Note 1 for disclosures related to new accounting policies adopted.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Commodity Price Risk

We manage our commodity price risk for coal sales through the use of coal supply agreements. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations” for information on our sales commitments for 2022.

We have exposure to commodity price risk for supplies that are used directly or indirectly in the normal course of production such as diesel fuel, steel and other items such as explosives. We manage our risk for these items through strategic sourcing contracts in normal quantities with our suppliers.

The market price of diesel fuel fluctuates due to changes in production, seasonality, and other market factors generally outside of our control. Increased fuel costs may have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition. Based upon our 2021 diesel fuel consumption (approximately 23.0 million gallons), a 10% increase in the average annual price per gallon of diesel fuel would have increased our annual diesel fuel expense by approximately $5.4 million. As of June 30, 2022, we had diesel fuel purchase commitments for 2022 as follows:

	Budgeted Usage in Gallons (1)	% Priced		Average Realized Price per Gallon
Diesel fuel	24.3 million	74.2	%	$2.99

(1) Includes fixed price purchase agreements covering approximately 13.1 million gallons (53.8% of expected 2022 usage).

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2022, we do not have any outstanding variable rate borrowings with market risk exposure with respect to interest rates. Refer to Note 9 for additional information. Also refer to the“Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 14” section contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for discussion on the terms of our long-term debt.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars, and, as a result, we do not have material exposure to currency exchange-rate risks. However, our coal is sold internationally in U.S. dollars and, as a result, general economic conditions in foreign markets and changes in foreign currency exchange rates may provide our foreign competitors with a competitive advantage. If our competitors’ currencies decline against the U.S. dollar or against our foreign customers’ local currencies, those competitors may be able to offer lower prices for coal to customers. Furthermore, if the currencies of our overseas customers were to significantly decline in value in comparison to the U.S. dollar, those customers may seek decreased prices for the coal we sell to

55

them. Consequently, currency fluctuations could adversely affect the competitiveness of our coal in international markets, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision of our CEO and our CFO, the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and our CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our CEO, our CFO and other members of management do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Part II - Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

For a description of the Company’s legal proceedings, refer to Note 16, part (d), to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, together with the cautionary statement under the caption “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These described risks are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Dividends on our common stock are only payable if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and permitted by Delaware law.

Dividends on our common stock will be paid only if declared by the Board. The Board is not legally obligated or required to declare dividends on our common stock even if we have funds available for that purpose. In addition, even if the Board wishes to declare a dividend, we cannot make payments of cash in respect of dividends to the extent such payments are not permitted under Delaware law. If we do not declare and pay dividends on our common stock as expected, the market price of our common stock is likely to be adversely affected.

56

If our earnings and cash flow decline materially, we may be unable to continue to pay dividends on our common stock and/or execute our share repurchase program as intended.

Our ability to pay dividends on our common stock and repurchase shares of common stock depends upon on our earnings and cash flows. If our earnings and cash flows were to decline materially, we may be unable to continue to pay dividends in the amounts previously paid, or at all. In addition, in such a circumstance, we may be unable to execute our share repurchase program in part or as a whole.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Dividend Policy

On May 3, 2022, the Company’s Board adopted a dividend policy. Pursuant to this policy, the Board initially intended to pay aggregate cash dividends of $1.50 per share of common stock per year, with $0.375 per share paid each quarter. Refer to Note 18 for subsequent event disclosures related to the Company’s dividend program including an increase to the declared cash dividend per share for the subsequent quarter. The holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to receive such dividends, if any, when they are declared by the Company’s Board. Future dividends are subject to declaration by the Company’s Board and depend on Alpha’s future earnings and financial condition and other relevant factors. Refer to Note 7 for further information related to the Company’s dividend program.

Repurchase of Common Stock

The following table summarizes information about shares of common stock that were repurchased during the second quarter of 2022. 

	Total Number of Shares Purchased	Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs (1)	Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (In thousands) (1),(2),(3)
April 1, 2022 through April 30, 2022	149,483	$	139.52	149,483	$	180,154
May 1, 2022 through May 31, 2022	549,709	$	152.94	549,709	$	546,082
June 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022	476,669	$	149.68	476,669	$	474,732
	1,175,861			1,175,861

(1) On March 4, 2022, the Company’s Board adopted a share repurchase program with no expiration date that permits the Company to repurchase up to an aggregate amount of $150 million of the Company's common stock. On May 3, 2022, the Company’s Board amended the share repurchase program to increase the aggregate amount the Company is permitted to repurchase to an aggregate amount of up to $600 million of the Company's common stock. Refer to Note 7 for additional information.

(2) The Company adopted a capital return program in 2019, including a stock repurchase plan with no expiration date that permitted the Company to repurchase up to an aggregate amount of $100 million of the Company's common stock. The Company suspended this stock repurchase plan on October 1, 2019 and does not currently intend to make further repurchases under it.

(3) We cannot estimate the number of shares that will be repurchased because decisions to purchase are subject to market and business conditions, levels of available liquidity, our cash needs, restrictions under agreements or obligations, legal or regulatory requirements or restrictions, and other relevant factors. This amount does not include $55 thousand of stock repurchase related fees.

Refer to Note 7 for information about repurchases related to warrants during the current quarter.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Information concerning mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K is included in Exhibit 95 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Exhibit 95

Mine Safety and Health Administration Data

Our subsidiaries’ mining operations have consistently been recognized with numerous local, state and national awards over the years for outstanding safety performance.

Our behavior-based safety process involves all employees in accident prevention and continuous improvement. Safety leadership and training programs are based upon the concepts of situational awareness and observation, changing behaviors and, most importantly, employee involvement. The core elements of our safety training include identification of critical behaviors, frequency of those behaviors, employee feedback and removal of barriers for continuous improvement.

All employees are empowered to champion the safety process. Every person is challenged to identify hazards and initiate corrective actions, ensuring that hazards are addressed in a timely manner.

All levels of the organization are expected to be proactive and commit to perpetual improvement, implementing new safety processes that promote a safe and healthy work environment.

Our subsidiaries operate multiple mining complexes in two states and are regulated by both the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) and state regulatory agencies. As described in more detail in the “Environmental and Other Regulatory Matters” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, as amended (the “Mine Act”), among other federal and state laws and regulations, imposes stringent safety and health standards on all aspects of mining operations. Regulatory inspections are mandated by these agencies with thousands of inspection shifts at our properties each year. Citations and compliance metrics at each of our mines and coal preparation facilities vary due to the size and type of the operation. We endeavor to conduct our mining and other operations in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. However, violations occur from time to time. None of the violations identified or the monetary penalties assessed upon us set forth in the tables below has been material.

For purposes of reporting regulatory matters under Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), we include the following table that sets forth the total number of specific citations and orders and the total dollar value of the proposed civil penalty assessments that were issued by MSHA during the current reporting period for each of our subsidiaries that is a coal mine operator, by individual mine. During the current reporting period, none of the mines operated by our subsidiaries received written notice from MSHA of a pattern of violations under Section 104(e) of the Mine Act.

Business and Basis of Presentation

Business and Basis of Presentation

Business

Alpha Metallurgical Resources, Inc. (“Alpha” or the “Company”) is a Tennessee-based mining company with operations across Virginia and West Virginia. With customers across the globe, high-quality reserves and significant port capacity, Alpha is a leading U.S. supplier of metallurgical coal products for the steel industry.

Basis of Presentation

Together, the condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), balance sheets, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the Company are referred to as the “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.” The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are also referenced across periods as “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations,” “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss),” “Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets,” “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows,” and “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.” The Company’s former Northern Appalachia (“NAPP”) operations results of operations and financial position are reported as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 2 for further information on discontinued operations.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all wholly-owned subsidiaries’ results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for Form 10-Q. Such rules and regulations allow the omission of certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP as long as the financial statements are not misleading. In the opinion of management, these interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or any other period. These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior year Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 virus was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The COVID-19 pandemic has had negative impacts on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. The Company experienced an increase in employee absences due to COVID-19. Indirectly, through some of the Company’s third-party vendors, the Company and the Company’s customers have experienced some supply chain disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration of the virus, its impact on the Company’s customers and suppliers, and the range of governmental and community reactions to the pandemic, which cannot be fully predicted. Health and safety are core values of the Company and are the foundation for how the Company manages every aspect of its business. The Company continues to monitor developments closely and adjust as necessary, including with respect to the Company’s implemented policies, procedures, and prevention measures to protect the safety and health of its employees.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

Fair Value Measurement: In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting

Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”). This update clarifies how the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions is determined. Per the update, a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and is not considered in measuring fair value. Additionally, the update requires entities with investments in equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions to disclose certain qualitative and quantitative information about such securities. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early application permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2022-03 during the second quarter of 2022. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

Financial Instruments: In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”). This update eliminates the troubled debt restructuring model for creditors that have adopted Topic 326. All loan modifications will now be accounted for under general loan modification guidance and, on a prospective basis, entities will be subject to new disclosure requirements covering modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, entities will be required to prospectively disclose current-period gross write-off information by year of origination. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early application permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2022-02 during the first quarter of 2022. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

Disaggregation of Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company earns revenues primarily through the sale of coal produced at Company operations and coal purchased from third parties. The Company extracts, processes and markets met and thermal coal from deep and surface mines for sale to steel and coke producers, industrial customers, and electric utilities.

The Company has disaggregated revenue between met coal and thermal coal and export and domestic revenues which depicts the pricing and contract differences between the two. Export revenue generally is derived by spot or short term contracts

with pricing determined at the time of shipment or based on a market index; whereas domestic revenue is characterized by contracts that typically have a term of one year or longer and typically the pricing is fixed. The following tables disaggregate the Company’s coal revenues by product category and by market to depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of the Company’s coal revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors:

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The number of shares used to calculate basic net income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of the Company’s outstanding common shares during the respective period. The number of shares used to calculate diluted net income (loss) per common share is based on the number of common shares used to calculate basic net income (loss) per common share plus the dilutive effect of stock options and other stock-based instruments held by the Company’s employees and directors during the period, and the Company’s outstanding warrants. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock-based instruments is determined by application of the treasury stock method. The stock options and warrants become dilutive for diluted net income (loss) per common share calculations when the market price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the exercise price. As discussed below, dilutive securities are not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as the impact would be anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 0 and 942,549 warrants and stock options, respectively, were excluded from the computation of dilutive net income (loss) per common share because they would have been anti-dilutive. For six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 0 and 948,398 warrants, stock options, and other stock-based instruments, respectively, were excluded from the computation of dilutive net loss per common share because they would have been anti-dilutive. When applying the treasury stock method, anti-dilution generally occurs when the exercise prices or unrecognized compensation cost per share are higher than the Company’s average stock price during an applicable period.

Anti-dilution also occurs in periods of a net loss, and the dilutive impact of all share-based compensation awards are excluded. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 the weighted average share impact of stock options and other stock-based instruments that were excluded from the calculation of diluted shares due to the Company incurring a net loss for the period was 313,640. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the weighted average share impact of stock options and other-stock-based instruments that were excluded from the calculation of diluted shares due to the Company incurring a net loss for the period was 301,684.

The following table presents the net income (loss) per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Share Repurchase Program

On March 4, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) adopted a share repurchase program that permitted the Company to repurchase up to an aggregate amount of $150,000 of the Company's common stock. On May 3, 2022, the Company’s Board amended the share repurchase program to increase the aggregate amount the Company is permitted to repurchase to an aggregate amount of up to $600,000 of the Company's common stock. Share repurchases may be made from time to time through open market transactions, block trades, tender offers, or otherwise, and has no expiration date. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock or to acquire shares on any particular timetable, and the program may be suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion. Repurchases under the program are subject to market and business conditions, levels of available liquidity, the Company’s cash needs, restrictions under agreements or obligations, legal or regulatory requirements or restrictions and other relevant factors. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had repurchased an aggregate of 1,309,362 shares under the plan for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $192,859 (comprised of $192,820 of share repurchases and $39 of related fees).

Dividend Program

On May 3, 2022, the Company‘s Board adopted a dividend policy. Pursuant to this policy, the Board initially intended to pay aggregate cash dividends of $1.50 per share of common stock per year, with $0.375 per share paid each quarter. Refer to Note 18 for subsequent event disclosures related to the Company’s dividend program including an increase to the declared cash dividend per share for the subsequent quarter. The first quarterly dividend payment became payable on July 1, 2022 for holders of record as of June 15, 2022. In addition, pursuant to the terms of certain stock-based compensation awards under the Company’s Management Incentive Plan and Long-Term Incentive Plan, dividend equivalent amounts will become payable at various vesting dates with respect to each share underlying outstanding award.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a $6,977 dividend payable for the first quarterly dividend declaration, including dividend equivalents, with a reduction to the Company’s retained earnings. Of this dividend payable amount, $6,836 and $141 were included within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities, respectively, on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We expect any future dividend payments will be targeted to be paid in the first month of each calendar quarter. Any decision to pay future cash dividends will, however, be made by the Board and depend on Alpha’s future earnings and financial condition and other relevant factors.

Warrants

On July 26, 2016, the Company issued 810,811 warrants, which are classified as equity instruments. Pursuant to the underlying warrants agreement, the warrants are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis at any time until July 26, 2023, and no fractional shares shall be issued upon warrant exercises. Pursuant to the underlying warrants agreement, the exercise price was adjusted as a result of the occurrence of the dividend declaration during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The exercise price was adjusted from $46.911 per share to $46.804 per share as of the June 15, 2022 dividend record date. The warrant share number remained unchanged, at 1.15. Refer to Note 18 for subsequent event disclosures related to the Company’s dividend program which could result in an adjustment to the warrants exercise price and warrants share number.

As of June 30, 2022, 263,718 warrants remained outstanding, with a total of 303,276 shares underlying the un-exercised warrants. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company issued 553,296 and 618,157 shares of common stock, respectively, resulting from exercises of its warrants and, pursuant to the terms of the underlying warrants agreement, withheld 168,155 and 168,246 of the issued shares, respectively, in satisfaction of the warrant exercise price and in lieu of fractional shares, which were subsequently reclassified as treasury stock in the amounts of $16,644 and $16,651, respectively.

As of June 30, 2021, 801,370 warrants were outstanding, with a total of 921,576 shares underlying the un-exercised warrants. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, there were no warrants exercised.

Term Loan Credit Facility - due June 2024

On June 14, 2019, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement that provided for a senior secured term loan facility with a maturity date of June 14, 2024 (the “Term Loan Credit Facility”). As of June 30, 2022, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Facility as a result of the Company’s voluntary prepayments of $449,435 of outstanding principal borrowings during the first and second quarters of 2022. Effective with the final voluntary prepayment on June 3, 2022, the Credit Agreement was terminated, and the Company was released of all underlying obligations including the Credit Agreement covenants. As December 31, 2021, the carrying value of the Term Loan Credit Facility was $443,241, all of which was classified as long-term within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Second Amended and Restated Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement

The Second Amended and Restated Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement (“ABL Agreement”) includes a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”). Under the ABL Facility, the Company may borrow cash or obtain letters of credit, on a revolving basis, in an aggregate amount of up to $155,000, of which no more than $150,000 may represent outstanding letters of credit ($125,000 on a committed basis and another $25,000 on an uncommitted cash collateralized basis) with any borrowings having a maturity date of December 6, 2024. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $63,898 and $121,037 letters of credit outstanding under the ABL Facility, respectively.

The ABL Agreement provides that a specified percentage of billed and unbilled receivables and raw and clean inventory meeting certain criteria are eligible to be counted for purposes of collateralizing the amount of financing available, subject to certain terms and conditions. Availability under the ABL Facility is calculated on a monthly basis and fluctuates based on qualifying amounts of coal inventory and trade accounts receivable (the “Borrowing Base”) and the facility's covenant limitations related to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in therein). In accordance with terms of the ABL Facility, the Company may be required to collateralize the ABL Facility to the extent outstanding borrowings and letters of credit under the ABL Facility exceed the Borrowing Base after considering covenant limitations.

The ABL Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of Alpha’s direct and indirect subsidiaries (together with Alpha, the “Loan Parties”) and secured by all or substantially all assets of the Loan Parties, including equity in Alpha’s direct domestic subsidiaries, as collateral for the obligations under the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility has a first lien on ABL priority collateral and a second lien on Term Loan Priority Collateral. As noted above, the Term Loan Credit Facility was voluntarily prepaid in full on June 3, 2022, and in connection therewith, the Term Loan Priority Collateral has been released in connection therewith, and the ABL Facility’s lien on the Term Loan Priority Collateral is no longer second. The ABL Agreement, as amended, and related documents contain negative and affirmative covenants including certain financial covenants. The Company is in compliance with all covenants under these agreements as of June 30, 2022.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value MeasurementsThe estimated fair values of financial instruments are determined based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainty and cannot be determined with precision.

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, net, prepaid expenses and other current assets, short-term and long-term restricted cash, short-term and long-term deposits, trade accounts payable, short-term and long-term dividend payable, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 due to the short maturity of these instruments.

The following tables set forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s long-term debt and acquisition-related obligations at fair value as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

	June 30, 2022

The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial and non-financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the determination of fair value for assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

Contingent Revenue Obligation	$	28,967	$	(11,396)	$	6,333	$	—	$	23,904

(1) The loss recognized in earnings resulted primarily from a decrease in the annual risk-free interest rate as of June 30, 2021.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the assets and liabilities in the tables above:

Level 1 Fair Value Measurements

Trading Securities - Typically includes money market funds and other cash equivalents. The fair value is based on observable market data.

Level 2 Fair Value Measurements

Term Loan Credit Facility - due June 2024 - The fair value was based on the average between bid and ask prices provided by a third-party. As the fair value was based on observable market inputs and due to limited trading volume in the Term Loan Credit Facility, the Company had classified the fair value within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Effective June 3, 2022, the Term Loan Credit Facility was terminated. Refer to Note 9 for additional information.

Trading Securities - Typically includes certificates of deposit, mutual funds, corporate debt securities, and U.S. treasury and agency securities. The fair values of the Company’s trading securities are obtained from a third-party pricing service provider. The fair values provided by the pricing service provider are based on observable market inputs including credit spreads and broker-dealer quotes, among other inputs. The Company classifies the prices obtained from the pricing services within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because the underlying inputs are directly observable from active markets. However, the pricing models used entail a certain amount of subjectivity and therefore differing judgments in how the underlying inputs are modeled could result in different estimates of fair value.

Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

Environmental Settlement Obligations - Observable transactions are not available to aid in determining the fair value of these items. Therefore, the fair value was derived by using the expected present value approach in which estimated cash flows are discounted using a risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk (discount rates of approximately 14% and 13% as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively).

Contingent Revenue Obligation - The fair value of the contingent revenue obligation was estimated using a Black-Scholes pricing model and is marked to market at each reporting period with changes in value reflected in earnings. The inputs included in the Black-Scholes pricing model are the Company's forecasted future revenue, the stated royalty rate, the remaining periods in the obligation, annual risk-free interest rate based on the U.S. Constant Maturity Treasury Curve and annualized volatility. The annualized volatility was calculated by observing volatilities for comparable companies with adjustments for the Company's size and leverage. The range of significant unobservable inputs used to value the Contingent Revenue Obligation as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, are set forth in the following table:

	June 30, 2022	December 31, 2021
Forecasted future revenue	$3.5 billion	$1.5 - $2.0 billion
Stated royalty rate	1.0% - 1.5%	1.0% - 1.5%
Annualized volatility	22.1% - 42.2% (34.9%)	18.4% - 39.3% (29.9%)

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Income TaxesFor the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded income tax expense of $108,636 on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $1,085,069. The income tax expense differs from the expected statutory amount primarily due to the decrease in the valuation allowance and the permanent impact of percentage depletion and foreign-derived

intangible income deductions, partially offset by the impact of state income taxes, net of federal impact. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded income tax expense of $3 on a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $51,278. The income tax expense differs from the expected statutory amount primarily due to the increase in the valuation allowance and the impact of state income taxes, net of federal impact, partially offset by the permanent impact of percentage depletion deductions.

As a result of generating income before income taxes during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a decrease of $47,365 to its deferred tax asset valuation allowance recorded as of December 31, 2021. The decrease in the valuation allowance results in part from a decrease in deferred tax assets since the prior reporting date of December 31, 2021. The Company currently is relying primarily on the reversal of taxable temporary differences, along with consideration of taxable income via carryback to prior years and tax planning strategies, to support the realization of deferred tax assets. For each reporting period, the Company updates its assessment regarding the realizability of its deferred tax assets, including scheduling the reversal of its deferred tax assets and liabilities, to determine the amount of valuation allowance needed. Scheduling the reversal of deferred tax asset and liability balances requires judgment and estimation. The Company believes the deferred tax liabilities relied upon as future taxable income in its assessment will reverse in the same period and jurisdiction and are of the same character as the temporary differences giving rise to the deferred tax assets that will be realized. The valuation allowance recorded represents the portion of deferred tax assets for which the Company is unable to support realization through the methods described above.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company paid estimated federal and state income taxes of $109,074. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has recorded a current federal income taxes receivable of $12,064, classified as Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

(a) General

Estimated losses from loss contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the loss contingency is made in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a loss may be incurred and that the loss could be material.

(b) Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

The Company leases coal mining and other equipment under long-term financing and operating leases with varying terms. In addition, the Company leases mineral interests and surface rights from landowners under various terms and royalty rates.

Coal royalty expense was $72,627 and $21,281 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Coal royalty expense was $129,970 and $40,039 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Other Commitments

As of June 30, 2022, the Company has obligations under certain coal purchase agreements that contain minimum quantities to be purchased in the remainder of 2022 and 2023 totaling an estimated $82,185 and $12,099, respectively. The Company also has obligations under certain unconditional purchase obligations totaling $62,095, $59,319, and $86,850 in the remainder of 2022, 2023, and 2024, respectively.

Contingencies

Extensive regulation of the impacts of mining on the environment and of maintaining workplace safety has had, and is expected to continue to have, a significant effect on the Company’s costs of production and results of operations. Further regulations, legislation or litigation in these areas may also cause the Company’s sales or profitability to decline by increasing costs or by hindering the Company’s ability to continue mining at existing operations or to permit new operations.

During the normal course of business, contract-related matters arise between the Company and its customers. When a loss related to such matters is considered probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records a liability.

As of June 30, 2022, per terms of the Cumberland Back-to-Back Coal Supply Agreements, the Company is required to purchase and sell 1,342 tons of coal in the remainder of 2022 totaling $51,860. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company purchased and sold 258 and 760 tons, respectively, totaling $9,936 and $29,487, respectively, under the Cumberland Back-to-Back Coal Supply Agreements. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company

purchased and sold 677 and 1,460 tons, respectively, totaling $26,121 and $56,553, respectively, under the Cumberland Back-to-Back Coal Supply Agreements. As of June 30, 2022, the Cumberland Back-to-Back Coal Supply Agreements are scheduled to be fully performed by December 31, 2022.

(c) Guarantees and Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to certain guarantees and financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, such as bank letters of credit, performance or surety bonds, and other guarantees and indemnities related to the obligations of affiliated entities which are not reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, the underlying liabilities that they secure, such as asset retirement obligations, workers’ compensation liabilities, and royalty obligations, are reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company is required to provide financial assurance in order to perform the post-mining reclamation required by its mining permits, pay workers’ compensation claims under workers’ compensation laws in various states, pay federal black lung benefits, and perform certain other obligations. In order to provide the required financial assurance, the Company generally uses surety bonds for post-mining reclamation and workers’ compensation obligations. The Company can also use bank letters of credit to collateralize certain obligations.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $63,898 letters of credit outstanding under the Second Amended and Restated Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement. Additionally, as of June 30, 2022, the Company had $50 in letters of credit outstanding under the Credit and Security Agreement dated June 30, 2017, and related amendments, between ANR, Inc. and First Tennessee Bank National Association.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had outstanding surety bonds with a total face amount of $162,339 to secure various obligations and commitments. To secure the Company’s reclamation-related obligations, the Company has $34,678 of collateral in the form of restricted cash, restricted investments, and deposits supporting these obligations as of June 30, 2022.

The Company meets frequently with its surety providers and has discussions with certain providers regarding the extent of and the terms of their participation in the program. These discussions may cause the Company to shift surety bonds between providers or to alter the terms of their participation in our program. To the extent that surety bonds become unavailable or the Company’s surety bond providers require additional collateral, the Company would seek to secure its obligations with letters of credit, cash deposits or other suitable forms of collateral. The Company’s failure to maintain, or inability to acquire, surety bonds or to provide a suitable alternative would have a material adverse effect on its liquidity. These failures could result from a variety of factors including lack of availability, higher cost or unfavorable market terms of new surety bonds, and the exercise by third-party surety bond issuers of their right to refuse to renew the surety.

	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Workers’ compensation and black lung obligations	$	15,755	$	70,637

DCMWC Reauthorization Process

In July 2019, the U.S. Department of Labor (Division of Coal Mine Workers’ Compensation or “DCMWC”) began implementing a new authorization process for all self-insured coal mine operators. As requested by the DCMWC, the Company filed an application and supporting documentation for reauthorization to self-insure certain of its black lung obligations in October 2019. As a result of this application, the DCMWC notified the Company in a letter dated February 21, 2020 that the Company was reauthorized to self-insure certain of its black lung obligations for a period of one-year from February 21, 2020. The DCMWC reauthorization is contingent, however, upon the Company’s providing collateral of $65,700 to secure certain of its black lung obligations. This proposed collateral requirement is an increase from the approximate $2,600 in collateral that the Company currently provides to secure these self-insured black lung obligations. The reauthorization process provided the Company with the right to appeal the security determination in writing within 30 days of the date of the notification, which appeal period the DCMWC agreed to extend to May 22, 2020. The Company exercised this right of appeal in connection with the substantial increase in the amount of required collateral. In February 2021, the U.S. Department of Labor (“DOL”) withdrew its Federal Register notice seeking comments on its bulletin describing its new method of calculating collateral requirements. The Department removed the bulletin from its website in May 2021. On February 10, 2022, a telephone conference was held with DCMWC and DOL decision makers wherein the Company presented facts and arguments in support of its appeal. No ruling has been made on the appeal, but during the call the Company indicated that it would be willing to allocate an additional $10,000 in collateral. If the Company’s appeal is unsuccessful, the Company may be required to provide additional letters of credit to receive the self-insurance reauthorization from the DCMWC or alternatively insure these black lung obligations through a third party provider that would likely also require the Company to provide additional collateral. Either of these outcomes could potentially reduce the Company’s liquidity.

(d) Legal Proceedings 

The Company is party to legal proceedings from time to time. These proceedings, as well as governmental examinations, could involve various business units and a variety of claims including, but not limited to, contract disputes, personal injury claims, property damage claims (including those resulting from blasting, trucking and flooding), environmental and safety issues, securities-related matters and employment matters. While some legal matters may specify the damages claimed by the plaintiffs, many seek an unquantified amount of damages. Even when the amount of damages claimed against the Company or its subsidiaries is stated, (i) the claimed amount may be exaggerated or unsupported; (ii) the claim may be based on a novel legal theory or involve a large number of parties; (iii) there may be uncertainty as to the likelihood of a class being certified or the ultimate size of the class; (iv) there may be uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; and/or (v) there may be significant factual issues to be resolved. As a result, if such legal matters arise in the future, the Company may be unable to estimate a range of possible loss for matters that have not yet progressed sufficiently through discovery and development of important factual information and legal issues. The Company records accruals based on an estimate of the ultimate outcome of these matters, but these estimates can be difficult to determine and involve significant judgment.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

Together, the condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), balance sheets, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the Company are referred to as the “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.” The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are also referenced across periods as “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations,” “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss),” “Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets,” “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows,” and “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.” The Company’s former Northern Appalachia (“NAPP”) operations results of operations and financial position are reported as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 2 for further information on discontinued operations.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all wholly-owned subsidiaries’ results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for Form 10-Q. Such rules and regulations allow the omission of certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP as long as the financial statements are not misleading. In the opinion of management, these interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or any other period. These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Recent Adopted Accounting Guidance

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

Fair Value Measurement: In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting

Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”). This update clarifies how the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions is determined. Per the update, a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and is not considered in measuring fair value. Additionally, the update requires entities with investments in equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions to disclose certain qualitative and quantitative information about such securities. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early application permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2022-03 during the second quarter of 2022. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

Financial Instruments: In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”). This update eliminates the troubled debt restructuring model for creditors that have adopted Topic 326. All loan modifications will now be accounted for under general loan modification guidance and, on a prospective basis, entities will be subject to new disclosure requirements covering modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, entities will be required to prospectively disclose current-period gross write-off information by year of origination. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early application permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2022-02 during the first quarter of 2022. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
