The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of NACCO Industries, Inc.® (NACCO) and its wholly owned subsidiary, NACCO Natural Resources Corporation® (NACCO Natural Resources, and with NACCO collectively, the Company, we, our or us). NACCO Natural Resources brings natural resources to life by delivering aggregates, minerals, reliable fuels and environmental solutions through our robust portfolio of businesses. We operate under three business segments: Utility Coal Mining, Contract Mining and Minerals and Royalties. The Utility Coal Mining segment, operated by North American Coal®, manages surface coal mines that are exclusive, long-term fuel providers for power generation companies. The Contract Mining segment, operated by North American Mining®, is a leading provider of a broad range of specialized, long-term contract mining services. The Minerals and Royalties segment, which includes the Catapult Mineral Partners® (Catapult) business, acquires and promotes the development of mineral and royalty interests and other related investments.

In addition to the reportable segments discussed above, we also operate other businesses that are not currently reported as separate segments. These businesses complement our existing operations and support our long-term growth strategic objectives. Mitigation Resources of North America® (Mitigation Resources) provides natural resource restoration and reclamation services that include stream and wetland mitigation solutions. ReGen Resources is pursuing opportunities to develop new power generation resources.

We also have items not directly attributable to an operating segment. These items primarily include administrative costs related to public company reporting requirements, including management and board compensation, the financial results of developing businesses and Bellaire Corporation (Bellaire). Bellaire manages long-term liabilities related to former Eastern U.S. underground mining activities.

During 2025, we changed the names of our reportable segments to make it easier for our stakeholders to understand the business activities within each segment. The Utility Coal Mining, Contract Mining and Minerals and Royalties segments were formerly the Coal Mining, North American Mining and Minerals Management segments, respectively. There were no changes to the composition of each segment and therefore no changes to historical segment reporting.

As of December 31, 2025, the Utility Coal Mining segment's operating coal mines were: The Coteau Properties Company (Coteau), Coyote Creek Mining Company, LLC (Coyote Creek), The Falkirk Mining Company (Falkirk) and Mississippi Lignite Mining Company (MLMC). Coteau, Falkirk and Coyote Creek are in North Dakota and MLMC is in Mississippi. Each of these mines produce lignite coal. While MLMC’s coal supply contract contains a take or pay provision, all other coal supply contracts are requirements contracts. Certain coal supply contracts can be terminated early, which would result in a reduction to future earnings.

The MLMC contract is the only coal supply contract in which we are responsible for all operating costs, capital requirements and final mine reclamation; therefore, MLMC is consolidated within our financial statements. MLMC sells coal to its customer at a contractually agreed-upon price which adjusts monthly, primarily based on changes in the level of established indices which reflect general U.S. inflation rates and includes adjustments for coal quality and certain reimbursable costs. Profitability at MLMC is affected by customer demand for coal, changes in the contractually determined sales price and actual costs incurred. MLMC's customer operates the Red Hills Power Plant, which supplies electricity to the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) under a long-term power purchase agreement. MLMC’s contract with its customer runs through April 1, 2032. Current mine area reserves are sufficient to meet contractual requirements through the 2032 contract term. TVA’s power portfolio includes coal, nuclear, hydroelectric, natural gas and renewables. The decision regarding which power plants to dispatch is determined by TVA. As a significant portion of MLMC’s costs are fixed, reduction in dispatch and/or reduced mechanical availability of the Red Hills Power Plant can materially reduce operating results at MLMC. Conversely, periods of higher

dispatch can improve results. The Red Hills Power Plant operated at below full baseload capacity and experienced periods of reduced mechanical availability during 2024 and 2025. These factors increased per ton operating costs which adversely affected operating results in both 2024 and 2025.

In December 2023, MLMC received notice from its customer related to a boiler issue at the Red Hills Power Plant. While this issue has been resolved, it resulted in a reduction in customer demand which had a significant impact on our results of operations during 2024. We recognized income of $13.6 million in 2024 related to business interruption insurance recoveries that partially offset losses related to the boiler outage.

The Sabine Mining Company (Sabine) operates the Sabine Mine in Texas. All production from Sabine was delivered to Southwestern Electric Power Company's (SWEPCO) Henry W. Pirkey Plant (the Pirkey Plant). SWEPCO is an American Electric Power (AEP) company. As a result of the early retirement of the Pirkey Plant, Sabine ceased deliveries and commenced final reclamation on April 1, 2023. Funding for mine reclamation is the responsibility of SWEPCO, and Sabine receives compensation for providing mine reclamation services. Sabine will provide mine reclamation services through September 30, 2026. As of October 1, 2026, SWEPCO is obligated to acquire all of the capital stock of Sabine and complete the remaining mine reclamation.

At Coteau, Coyote Creek and Falkirk, we are paid a management fee per ton of coal or heating unit (MMBtu) delivered. Each contract specifies the indices and mechanics by which fees change over time, generally in line with broad measures of U.S. inflation. Our customers are responsible for funding all mine operating costs, including final mine reclamation, and directly or indirectly providing all of the capital required to build and operate the mine. This contract structure eliminates exposure to spot coal market price fluctuations while providing predictable income and cash flow with minimal capital investment. Other than at Coyote Creek, debt financing provided by or supported by the customers is without recourse to us. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K for further discussion of Coyote Creek's guarantees.

Coteau, Coyote Creek, Falkirk and Sabine each meet the definition of a variable interest entity (VIE). In each case, NACCO is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE as we do not exercise financial control; therefore, we do not consolidate the results of these operations within our financial statements. Instead, these contracts are accounted for as equity method investments. We regularly evaluate if there are reconsideration events which could change our conclusion as to whether these entities meet the definition of a VIE and the determination of the primary beneficiary. The income before income taxes associated with these VIEs is reported as Earnings of unconsolidated operations on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and our investment is reported on the line Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The mines that meet the definition of a VIE are referred to collectively as the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries. For tax purposes, the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries are included within our consolidated U.S. tax return; therefore, the Income tax benefit line on the Consolidated Statements of Operations includes income taxes related to these entities. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K for further information on the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries.

We perform contemporaneous reclamation activities at each mine in the normal course of operations. Under all of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries’ contracts, the customer has the obligation to fund final mine reclamation activities. Under certain contracts, the Unconsolidated Subsidiary holds the mine permit and is therefore responsible for final mine reclamation activities. To the extent the Unconsolidated Subsidiary performs such final reclamation, it is compensated for providing those services in addition to receiving reimbursement from customers for costs incurred.

The Contract Mining segment provides value-added contract mining and other services for producers of industrial minerals and products. The segment is a platform for our growth and diversification of mining activities outside of the thermal coal industry. Contract Mining provides contract mining services for independently owned mines and quarries, creating value for our customers by performing the mining aspects of our customers’ operations. This allows customers to focus on their areas of expertise: materials handling and processing, product sales and distribution. As of December 31, 2025, the Contract Mining segment operates at quarries in Florida, Arkansas and Nebraska and is expected to begin operations at a quarry in Arizona during the first half of 2026. Beginning in 2026, the Contract Mining segment will also provide dragline services as part of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers construction project in Palm Beach County, Florida.

Americas Corp. (TSX:LAC) (NYSE: LAC) and General Motors Holdings LLC. The U.S. Department of Energy holds warrants to purchase five percent non-voting, non-transferable equity in this joint venture. Thacker Pass is targeting initial lithium production in late 2027. The contract requires reimbursement for costs of mining, capital expenditures and mine closure. Sawtooth will recognize a contractually agreed upon production fee once the mine is operating. In addition to providing comprehensive mining services, Sawtooth is currently assisting with certain construction services and will transport clay tailings once lithium production commences.

The Minerals and Royalties segment derives income primarily by leasing our royalty and mineral interests to third-party exploration and production companies, and, to a lesser extent, other mining companies, granting them the rights to explore, develop, mine, produce, market and sell gas, oil, and coal in exchange for royalty payments based on the lessees' sales of those minerals.

•Royalty Interest. Royalty interests generally result when the owner of a mineral interest leases the underlying minerals to an exploration and production company pursuant to an oil and gas lease. Typically, the resulting royalty interest is a cost-free percentage of production revenues for minerals extracted from the acreage. A holder of royalty interests is generally not responsible for capital expenditures or lease operating expenses, but royalty interests may be calculated net of post-production expenses. Royalty interests leased to producers expire upon the expiration of the oil and gas lease and revert to the mineral owner.

•Mineral Interest. Mineral interests are perpetual rights of the owner to explore, develop, exploit, mine and/or produce any or all of the minerals lying below the surface of the property. The holder of a mineral interest has the right to lease the minerals to an exploration and production company. Upon the execution of an oil and gas lease, the lessee (the exploration and production company) becomes the working interest owner and the lessor (the mineral interest owner) has a royalty interest.

•Non-Participating Royalty Interest (NPRIs). NPRI is an interest in oil and gas production which is created from the mineral estate. The NPRI is expense-free, bearing no operational costs of production. The term non-participating indicates that the interest owner does not share in the bonus, rentals from a lease, nor the right to participate in the execution of oil and gas leases. The NPRI owner does; however, typically receive royalty payments.

•Overriding Royalty Interest (ORRIs). ORRIs are created by carving out the right to receive royalties from a working interest. Like royalty interests, ORRIs do not confer an obligation to make capital expenditures or pay for lease operating expenses and have limited environmental liability; however, ORRIs may be calculated net of post-production expenses, depending on how the ORRI is structured. ORRIs that are carved out of working interests are linked to the same underlying oil and gas lease that created the working interest, and therefore, such ORRIs are typically subject to expiration upon the expiration or termination of the oil and gas lease.

We may own more than one type of mineral and royalty interest in the same tract of land. For example, where we own an ORRI in a lease on the same tract of land in which we own a mineral interest, the ORRI in that tract will relate to the same gross acres as the mineral interest in that tract.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Minerals and Royalties segment holds an equity investment of $33.7 million and $19.1 million, respectively, in Eiger Resources, which holds operated and non-operated working interests in oil and natural gas assets in the Kansas and the Oklahoma portion of the Hugoton basin. Although we own less than 20%, Eiger Resources meets the definition of a VIE. NACCO is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE as it does not exercise financial control; therefore, we do not consolidate the results of these operations within our financial statements. Instead, this contract is accounted for as an equity method investment. Our investment is reported on the line Equity method investment in Eiger Resources in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Minerals and Royalties segment records its share of earnings as Earnings of unconsolidated operations on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Due to the timing and availability of financial information, earnings or losses from this investment are recorded on a one quarter lag.

Excluding the Eiger Resources investment described above, total consideration for acquisitions of mineral and royalty interests was $4.7 million and $0.7 million, in 2025 and 2024, respectively. The 2025 acquisitions include 10.5 thousand gross acres and 0.4 thousand net royalty acres. The 2024 acquisitions included 13.7 thousand gross acres and 0.6 thousand net royalty acres.

The Minerals and Royalties segment also manages legacy royalty and mineral interests located in Ohio (Utica and Marcellus shale natural gas), Louisiana (Haynesville shale and Cotton Valley formation natural gas), Texas (Cotton Valley and Austin Chalk formation natural gas), Mississippi (coal), Pennsylvania (coal, coalbed methane and Marcellus shale natural gas), Alabama (coal, coalbed methane and natural gas) and North Dakota (coal, oil and natural gas). The majority of our legacy reserves were acquired as part of our historical coal mining operations.

Total oil and gas mineral and royalty interests include approximately 208.0 thousand gross acres and 64.4 thousand net royalty acres at December 31, 2025. Net royalty acres are calculated based on our ownership and royalty rate, normalized to a standard 1/8th royalty lease, and assumes a 1/4th royalty rate for unleased acres. See Note 17 for further discussion of Minerals and Royalties.

Other items: At December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had $12.8 million and $14.2 million classified as Assets held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During 2025, we sold three draglines that were classified as Assets held for sale as of December 31, 2024 and recognized a $0.1 million gain in the Contract Mining segment, which is included on the line Gain on sale of assets within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. At December 31, 2025, Assets held for sale consists of two draglines not in use in the Contract Mining Segment and an office building in North Dakota in Unallocated Items.

During 2025, we terminated the NACCO Combined Defined Benefit Plan (Combined Plan) and settled all future obligations by transferring the remaining benefit obligations to a third-party insurance company. Although the plan was overfunded, we recognized a non-cash, pension settlement charge of $7.8 million on the line Pension settlement charge within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The $7.8 million settlement charge accelerated the recognition of the net loss recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss that would have otherwise been recognized in subsequent periods. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K for further information on the Combined Plan.

During 2025, the Company and Falkirk’s former customer agreed to settle the Falkirk Defined Benefit Plan for $10.9 million, resulting in a gain of $3.6 million on the line Gain on settlement of excess funding liability within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In accordance with the agreement reached with the former customer, $5.5 million was paid to the former customer during 2025. The remaining $5.4 million, recorded on the line Excess funding liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2025, will be paid to the former customer in 2026.

The excess funds from the terminated Combined Plan and the Falkirk Defined Benefit Plan will be utilized by the NACCO 401(k) plan, which is a qualified replacement plan. These funds will be used for future profit sharing contributions to eligible 401(k) plan participants. Total remaining funds are $14.6 million as of December 31, 2025. The current portion of $11.5 million is recorded on the line Prepaid profit sharing and the long-term portion of $3.1 million is recorded on the line Other non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025.
