Cloud Peak Energy Inc. Announces Results for Second Quarter and First Six Months of 2018 GILLETTE, Wyo.
Cloud Peak Energy Inc. (NYSE:CLD), one of the largest U.S. coal
producers and the only pure-play Powder River Basin (“PRB”) coal
company, today announced results for the second quarter and first six
months of 2018.
Colin Marshall, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The
second quarter was challenging as shipments were behind plan primarily
due to weather and operational issues at our Antelope Mine. We are
working to make up as many of the delayed shipments as we can through
the second half of the year. While domestic coal burn is up, and utility
coal stockpiles are decreasing, buying is currently slow and prices
remain subdued. Our export business remained strong allowing us to
export 1.3 million tons during the quarter. We continue to expect to
export approximately 5.5 million tons in 2018. We are pleased to have
amended and extended our existing Westshore throughput agreement, which
increases annual capacity to 10.5 million tons in 2021 and 2022.”
Highlights
-
Amended and extended the existing Westshore throughput agreement to
increase annual capacity from 5.5 million tons to 10.5 million tons in
2021 and 2022. Cloud Peak Energy retained the right to terminate the
agreement at any time in exchange for a buyout payment.
-
Amended the Credit Agreement to extend its maturity to May 24, 2021
while reducing the maximum borrowing capacity from $400 million to
$150 million. Ended the quarter with $90.2 million of cash and cash
equivalents and total available liquidity of $171.2 million, including
availability under the Credit Agreement.
-
Exercised a coal lease option with the Crow Tribe of Indians,
providing approximately 290 million in-place tons(1) and
extended the lease options on two additional project areas totaling
approximately 1.1 billion in-place tons(1). Paid
approximately $1.8 million to the Crow Tribe in connection with
exercising the option and option extensions.

Shipments during the second quarter of 2018 were 19 percent lower than
the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to lower shipments at the
Antelope Mine. Antelope production was impacted by several rain
interruptions, a delay in moving a dragline to a low strip ratio pit due
to nesting golden eagles, a dragline down for a planned tub replacement
and below plan truck productivity. Strip ratios have increased more in
2018 than in recent years resulting in higher cost per ton. Cordero Rojo
tons were also reduced due to continued low demand for 8400 Btu coal.
Revenue from the Owned and Operated Mines segment decreased 19 percent
in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017 due
to the lower shipments as well as $0.07 per ton lower average realized
prices. Cost per ton was $11.90 for the second quarter of 2018 compared
with $9.81 for the second quarter of 2017. The 21 percent higher cost
per ton in 2018 was primarily driven by lower production rates,
previously disclosed increased strip ratios, and higher per ton fuel and
lube costs due to an increase in the price of diesel.
Logistics and Related Activities
The Logistics and Related Activities segment comprises the results of
the Company’s logistics and transportation services to its domestic and
international export customers including the incremental production
taxes and royalties associated with these sales.

Strong Asian utility demand and favorable pricing allowed the Company to
export 1.3 million tons during the second quarter of 2018. Second
quarter 2018 segment operating income was $5.6 million, as compared to a
loss of $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2017. Segment operating
income (loss) includes amortization of logistics contract amendment
payments settled in previous years. With the previously disclosed
logistics contract extension for the Westshore agreement, this non-cash
amortization will reduce but continue to the end of the extended
agreement with Westshore in December 2022. Higher prices, partially
offset by rail fuel surcharges, higher severance taxes, and price
variable rail rates, resulted in second quarter Segment Adjusted EBITDA
increasing from $1.6 million in 2017 to $7.3 million this year.
The higher expected export volumes and pricing in 2018 are anticipated
to partially offset the lower expected contribution from the Owned and
Operated mines.
Cash, Liquidity, and Financial Position
Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2018 were $90.2 million. Cash
provided by operations totaled $3.6 million during the first half of the
year. Capital expenditures were $4.8 million for the first half of 2018,
of which $2.2 million occurred during the second quarter.
During the second quarter of 2018, the Company amended its Credit
Agreement to extend the maturity to May 24, 2021 while reducing the
maximum borrowing capacity from $400 million to $150 million. New
quarterly financial covenants were added as well. The borrowing capacity
is limited by the financial covenants, calculated on a quarterly basis,
and will fluctuate from quarter to quarter. As of June 30, 2018, the
Company had available borrowing capacity of $81 million under the Credit
Agreement.
The Company also amended its A/R Securitization Program to extend the
term, which now matches the Credit Agreement maturity date. The A/R
Securitization Program allows for a maximum borrowing capacity of $70
million. The borrowing capacity is limited by eligible accounts
receivable (as defined under the terms of the A/R Securitization
Program), calculated on a monthly basis, and will fluctuate from month
to month.
The Company had $22.0 million in undrawn letters of credit under its A/R
Securitization Program as of June 30, 2018. These letters of credit are
currently being used to provide collateral for the Company’s reclamation
bonds and have fully utilized the available capacity under the A/R
Securitization Program. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $5.6
million of restricted cash related to the cash-collateralization
requirement of the A/R Securitization Program at May 31, 2018. The
available capacity under the A/R Securitization Program increased to
$20.5 million at the end of June 2018, which reduced the required
cash-collateralization to $1.5 million.
Including cash on hand and the availability under the Credit Agreement,
the Company ended the quarter with total available liquidity of $171.2
million.
Domestic Outlook
Mine shipments to domestic customers during the second quarter of 2018
were 10.2 million tons, as compared to 13.0 million tons shipped to
domestic customers in the second quarter of 2017. Shipments during the
second quarter of 2018 were negatively impacted by the previously
discussed operational issues at the Antelope Mine, as well as low demand
at the Cordero Rojo Mine. Cloud Peak Energy has worked with its
customers to move contracted volumes into the third quarter.
Natural gas prices during the second quarter remained in the range of
$2.75 to $3.00 per MMBtu. While storage volumes remain well below
average, natural gas prices have been steady due to increasing
production. As of July 6, 2018, U.S. Energy Information Administration
data showed that natural gas inventories have declined by 25 percent
compared to year ago levels.
Utility coal stockpile levels have decreased since year-end. Energy
Ventures Analysis estimates there were 62 million tons of PRB coal
inventories on utility stockpiles at the end of June 2018, a decline of
10 million tons from December 2017 levels. The Company believes customer
inventories will decline over the summer months as summer demand
increases, which could increase contracting later in the year.
For 2018, the Company plans to ship between 50 and 54 million tons with
current commitments to sell 49 million tons, which includes 4.1 million
tons contracted with export customers. All of the 49 million tons are
under fixed-price contracts with a weighted-average price of $12.27 per
ton. Full year results will be impacted by the Company’s ability to sell
the additional tons and their pricing. The approximately 2.0 million
tons for 2018 that were priced during the second quarter of 2018
averaged $12.04 per ton, in line with prevailing prices at that time for
the qualities of coal contracted.
The Company is contracted to sell 29 million tons in 2019. Of this
committed production, 22 million tons are under fixed-price contracts
with a weighted-average price of $12.55 per ton. For 2019, there were
5.0 million tons contracted during the second quarter of 2018 averaging
$12.28 per ton.
Spring Creek Complex Development
On June 7, 2018, Big Metal Coal Co. LLC (“Big Metal”), a subsidiary of
Cloud Peak Energy, delivered notice to the Crow Tribe of Indians (“Crow
Tribe”) to exercise the Upper Youngs Creek coal lease option and extend
the coal lease options for the Squirrel Creek and Tanner Creek project
areas. In connection with the option exercise and option extension, Big
Metal paid approximately $1.8 million to the Crow Tribe in June 2018.
The coal lease will require completion of land access agreements and
approval from the U.S. Department of the Interior. The coal located at
the Big Metal project is similar quality to that of the Spring Creek
Mine and offers lower sodium levels.
International Outlook
The international thermal Newcastle coal price index rebounded during
the second quarter to over $100 per tonne, currently settling around
$120 per tonne due to strong summer demand. During the same period, the
Kalimantan 5000 GAR index price, which the Spring Creek Mine coal
typically prices against, has remained under $70 per tonne. Based on
estimates through May 2018, thermal imports into China have increased 18
million tonnes, or almost 24 percent, compared to May 2017. China’s
electricity generation has increased by 8.6 percent through May after
increasing by 6.5 percent last year, with most of this increase from
thermal coal generation.
Thermal coal imports to India have increased by nearly 10 percent this
year as domestic coal production has struggled to keep pace with rising
demand. South Korean thermal coal imports continue to grow as recently
commissioned plants increase their generation. Since the Company
announced the JERA Trading contract to supply a new IGCC power plant in
Japan from late 2019, the Company has been discussing test burns with
five Japanese utilities. Two test burns have been successfully completed
and discussions for four more test cargos are underway. There is no
assurance that these test burns will lead to future sales.
The Company exported 1.3 million tons during the second quarter of 2018.
The Company expects to realize higher prices during the second half of
2018 as selling prices have increased. The benefit of increased prices
will be tempered by increased port fees, rail fuel surcharges, price
variable rail costs and increased severance taxes due to higher prices.
With strong demand for Cloud Peak Energy coal, and the rail and port
system operating as expected, the Company expects export shipments of
approximately 5.5 million tons in 2018. The Company has contracted to
sell 4.1 million tons for delivery in 2018.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This release and our related quarterly investor presentation contain
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor
provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are
not statements of historical facts and often contain words such as
“anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,”
“plan,” “potential,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would,” or words of
similar meaning. Forward-looking statements may include, for example:
(1) our outlook for 2018 and future periods for Cloud Peak Energy, the
Powder River Basin (“PRB”) and the industry in general; (2) our
operational, financial and shipment guidance, including our ability in
the second half of the year to make up for decreased first half 2018
shipments, export shipments expected in 2018 and the anticipated timing,
volumes and benefits of our export supply agreement with JERA Trading;
(3) estimated thermal coal demand by domestic and Asian utilities; (4)
coal stockpile and natural gas storage levels and the impacts on future
demand and pricing; (5) our ability to sell additional tons in 2018 and
future periods at improved, economic prices; (6) the impact of the Trump
administration energy policies, ongoing state, local and international
anti-coal regulatory and political developments, NGO activities and
global climate change initiatives; (7) potential commercialization of
carbon capture technologies for utilities; (8) the impact of competition
from other domestic and international coal producers, natural gas
supplies and other alternative sources of energy used to generate
electricity; (9) the timing and extent of any sustained recovery for
depressed thermal coal industry conditions; (10) the impact of industry
conditions on our financial performance, liquidity and compliance with
the financial covenants in our Credit Agreement; (11) our ability to
manage our take-or-pay exposure for committed port and rail capacity;
(12) our future liquidity and access to sources of capital and credit to
support our existing operations and growth opportunities; (13) the
impact of any hedging programs; (14) our ability to renew or obtain
surety bonds to meet regulatory requirements; (15) our cost management
efforts; (16) operational plans for our mines; (17) business development
and growth initiatives; (18) our plans to acquire or develop additional
coal to maintain and extend our mine lives; (19) our estimates of the
quality and quantity of economic coal associated with our development
projects, the potential development of our Youngs Creek and other
Northern PRB assets, and our potential exercise of remaining options for
Crow Tribal coal; (20) potential development of additional export
terminal capacity and increased future access to existing or new
capacity; (21) industry estimates of the U.S. Energy Information
Administration and other third party sources; and (22) other statements
regarding our current plans, strategies, expectations, beliefs,
assumptions, estimates and prospects concerning our business, operating
results, financial condition, industry, economic conditions, government
regulations, energy policies and other matters that do not relate
strictly to historical facts.
These statements are subject to significant risks, uncertainties, and
assumptions that are difficult to predict and could cause actual results
to differ materially and adversely from those expressed or implied in
the forward-looking statements. The following factors are among those
that may cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from
our forward-looking statements: (1) the timing and extent of any
sustained recovery of the currently depressed coal industry and the
impact of ongoing or further depressed industry conditions on our
financial performance, liquidity, and financial covenant compliance; (2)
the prices we receive for our coal and logistics services, our ability
to effectively execute our forward sales strategy, and changes in
utility purchasing patterns resulting in decreased long-term purchases
of coal; (3) the timing of reductions or increases in customer coal
inventories; (4) our ability to obtain new coal sales agreements on
favorable terms, to resolve customer requests for reductions or
deferrals, and to respond to any cancellations of their committed
volumes on terms that preserve the amount and timing of our forecasted
economic value; (5) the impact of increasingly variable and less
predictable demand for thermal coal based on natural gas prices, summer
cooling demand, winter heating demand, economic growth rates and other
factors that impact overall demand for electricity; (6) our ability to
efficiently and safely conduct our mining operations and to adjust our
planned production levels to respond to market conditions and
effectively manage the costs of our operations; (7) competition with
other producers of coal and with traders and re-sellers of coal,
including the current oversupply of thermal coal, the impacts of
currency exchange rate fluctuations and the strong U.S. dollar, and
government environmental, energy and tax policies and regulations that
make foreign coal producers more competitive for international
transactions; (8) the impact of coal industry bankruptcies on our
competitive position relative to other companies who have emerged from
bankruptcy with reduced leverage and potentially reduced operating
costs; (9) competition with natural gas, wind, solar and other non-coal
energy resources, which may continue to increase as a result of low
domestic natural gas prices, the declining cost of renewables, and due
to environmental, energy and tax policies, regulations, subsidies and
other government actions that encourage or mandate use of alternative
energy sources; (10) coal-fired power plant capacity and utilization,
including the impact of climate change and other environmental
regulations and initiatives, energy policies, political pressures, NGO
activities, international treaties or agreements and other factors that
may cause domestic and international electric utilities to continue to
phase out or close existing coal-fired power plants, reduce or eliminate
construction of any new coal-fired power plants, or reduce consumption
of coal from the PRB; (11) the failure of economic, commercially
available carbon capture technology to be developed and adopted by
utilities in a timely manner; (12) the impact of “keep coal in the
ground” campaigns and other well-funded, anti-coal initiatives by
environmental activist groups and others targeting substantially all
aspects of our industry; (13) our ability to offset declining U.S.
demand for coal and achieve longer term growth in our business through
our logistics revenue and export sales, including the significant impact
of Chinese and Indian thermal coal import demand and production levels
from other countries and basins on overall seaborne coal prices, and the
impact of any “trade wars” on our export business; (14) railroad, export
terminal and other transportation performance, costs and availability,
including the availability of sufficient and reliable rail capacity to
transport PRB coal, the development of any future export terminal
capacity and our ability to access capacity on commercially reasonable
terms; (15) the impact of our rail and terminal take-or-pay commitments
if we do not meet our required export shipment obligations, including
our commitments entered as part of our export supply agreement with JERA
Trading; (16) weather conditions and weather-related damage that impact
our mining operations, our customers, or transportation infrastructure;
(17) operational, geological, equipment, permit, labor, and other risks
inherent in surface coal mining; (18) future development or operating
costs for our development projects exceeding our expectations or other
factors adversely impacting our development projects; (19) our ability
to successfully acquire coal and appropriate land access rights at
economic prices and in a timely manner and our ability to effectively
resolve issues with conflicting mineral development that may impact our
mine plans; (20) the impact of asset impairment charges if required as a
result of challenging industry conditions or other factors, including
any impairments associated with our development projects; (21) our plans
and objectives for future operations and the development of additional
coal reserves, including risks associated with acquisitions; (22) the
impact of current and future environmental, health, safety, endangered
species and other laws, regulations, treaties, executive orders, court
decisions or governmental policies, or changes in interpretations
thereof and third-party regulatory challenges, including additional
requirements, uncertainties, costs, liabilities or restrictions
adversely affecting the use, demand or price for coal, our mining
operations or the logistics, transportation, or terminal industries;
(23) the impact of required regulatory processes and approvals to lease
coal and obtain, maintain and renew permits for coal mining operations
or to transport coal to domestic and foreign customers, including
third-party legal challenges to regulatory approvals that are required
for some or all of our current or planned mining activities; (24) any
increases in rates or changes in regulatory interpretations or
assessment methodologies with respect to royalties or severance and
production taxes and the potential impact of associated interest and
penalties; (25) inaccurately estimating the costs or timing of our
reclamation and mine closure obligations and our assumptions underlying
reclamation and mine closure obligations; (26) our ability to obtain
required surety bonds and provide any associated collateral on
commercially reasonable terms; (27) the availability of, disruptions in
delivery or increases in pricing from third-party vendors of raw
materials, capital equipment and consumables which are necessary for our
operations, such as explosives, petroleum-based fuel, tires, steel, and
rubber; (28) our assumptions concerning coal reserve estimates; (29) our
relationships with, and other conditions affecting, our customers
(including our largest customers who account for a significant portion
of our total revenue) and other counterparties, including economic
conditions and the credit performance and credit risks associated with
our customers and other counterparties, such as traders, brokers, and
lenders under our Amended Credit Agreement and financial institutions
with whom we maintain accounts or enter hedging arrangements; (30) the
results of our hedging programs and changes in the fair value of
derivative financial instruments that are not accounted for as hedges;
(31) the terms and restrictions of our indebtedness; (32) liquidity
constraints, access to capital and credit markets and availability and
costs of credit, surety bonds, letters of credit, and insurance,
including risks resulting from the cost or unavailability of financing
due to debt and equity capital and credit market conditions for the coal
sector or in general, changes in our credit rating, our compliance with
the covenants in our debt agreements, credit pressures on our industry
due to depressed conditions, any demands for increased collateral by our
surety bond providers or the recent significant reduction in our
borrowing capacity under our Amended Credit Agreement; (33) volatility
in the price of our common stock, including the impact of any delisting
of our stock from the New York Stock Exchange if we fail to meet the
minimum average closing price listing standard; (34) our liquidity,
results of operations, and financial condition generally, including
amounts of working capital that are available; (35) litigation and other
contingencies; (36) the authority of federal and state regulatory
authorities to order any of our mines to be temporarily or permanently
closed under certain circumstances; (37) volatility in our results due
to quarterly mark-to-market accounting for certain historical equity
compensation awards; and (38) other risk factors or cautionary language
described from time to time in the reports and registration statements
we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those in
Item 1A - Risk Factors in our most recent Form 10-K and any updates
thereto in our Forms 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K.
Additional factors, events, or uncertainties that may emerge from time
to time, or those that we currently deem to be immaterial, could cause
our actual results to differ, and it is not possible for us to predict
all of them. We make forward-looking statements based on currently
available information, and we assume no obligation to, and expressly
disclaim any obligation to, update or revise publicly any
forward-looking statements made in this release or our related quarterly
investor presentation, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release and our related presentation include the non-GAAP financial
measure of Adjusted EBITDA (on a consolidated basis and for our
reporting segments). Adjusted EBITDA is intended to provide additional
information only and does not have any standard meaning prescribed by
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America
(“U.S. GAAP”). Quantitative reconciliations of historical net income
(loss) and segment operating income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA are found
in the tables accompanying this release. EBITDA represents net income
(loss) before: (1) interest income (expense), net, (2) income tax
provision, (3) depreciation and depletion, and (4) amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted for accretion,
which represents non-cash increases in asset retirement obligation
liabilities resulting from the passage of time, and specifically
identified items that management believes do not directly reflect our
core operations. For the periods presented herein, the specifically
identified items are: (1) adjustments to exclude non-cash impairment
charges, (2) adjustments for derivative financial instruments, excluding
fair value mark-to-market gains or losses and including cash amounts
received or paid, (3) adjustments to exclude debt restructuring costs,
and (4) non-cash throughput amortization expense and contract
termination payments made to amend the BNSF and Westshore agreements. We
enter into certain derivative financial instruments such as put options
that require the payment of premiums at contract inception. The
reduction in the premium value over time is reflected in the
mark-to-market gains or losses. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA does
not include premiums paid for derivative financial instruments; either
at contract inception, as these payments pertain to future settlement
periods, or in the period of contract settlement, as the payment
occurred in a preceding period. In prior years the amortization of port
and rail contract termination payments were included as part of EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDA because the cash payments approximated the amount of
amortization being taken during the year. During 2017, management
determined that the non-cash portion of amortization arising from
payments made in prior years, as well as the amortization of contract
termination payments, should be adjusted out of Adjusted EBITDA because
the ongoing cash payments are now significantly smaller than the overall
amortization of these payments and no longer reflect the transactional
results. Because of the inherent uncertainty related to the items
identified above, management does not believe it is able to provide a
meaningful forecast of the comparable GAAP measures or reconciliation to
any forecasted GAAP measure.
Adjusted EBITDA is an additional tool intended to assist our management
in comparing our performance on a consistent basis for purposes of
business decision making by removing the impact of certain items that
management believes do not directly reflect our core operations.
Adjusted EBITDA is a metric intended to assist management in evaluating
operating performance, comparing performance across periods, planning
and forecasting future business operations and helping determine levels
of operating and capital investments. Period-to-period comparisons of
Adjusted EBITDA are intended to help our management identify and assess
additional trends potentially impacting our company that may not be
shown solely by period-to-period comparisons of net income (loss) or
segment operating income (loss). Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is also
used as part of our incentive compensation program for our executive
officers and others.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is also useful to investors, analysts, and
other external users of our Consolidated Financial Statements in
evaluating our operating performance from period to period and comparing
our performance to similar operating results of other relevant
companies. Adjusted EBITDA allows investors to measure a company’s
operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense,
taxes, depreciation and depletion, amortization and accretion and other
specifically identified items that are not considered to directly
reflect our core operations.
Our management recognizes that using Adjusted EBITDA as a performance
measure has inherent limitations as compared to net income (loss),
segment operating income (loss), or other GAAP financial measures, as
this non-GAAP measure excludes certain items, including items that are
recurring in nature, which may be meaningful to investors. As a result
of these exclusions, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in
isolation and does not purport to be an alternative to net income
(loss), segment operating income (loss), or other GAAP financial
measures as a measure of our operating performance. Because not all
companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted
EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other
companies.
