Release Date: August 01, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points Ramaco Resources Inc (NASDAQ:METC) is transitioning to a dual platform company, focusing on both met coal and rare earths, which has positively impacted its share price. The Brook mine in Wyoming is fully permitted and has commenced operations, with plans to expand production and processing capacity. The company has strong support from the U.S. government, including potential assistance from the Department of Energy to accelerate and expand the Brook mine project. Ramaco Resources Inc (NASDAQ:METC) achieved a record level of quarterly production for the second consecutive quarter. The company maintains a strong balance sheet with liquidity of over $87 million as of June 30, 2025, and has recently increased liquidity to $105 million. Negative Points Met coal benchmark prices dropped roughly 25% year on year, impacting earnings despite operational achievements. The company reported a net loss of $14 million in Q2 2025, compared to a $9 million loss in Q1. Full year 2025 production and sales are anticipated to come in at the low end of previous guidance due to market conditions. The metallurgical coal market remains challenging with continued price volatility and oversupply concerns. Ramaco Resources Inc (NASDAQ:METC) has had to idle the Eagle mine due to unfavorable market conditions, impacting overall production. Q & A Highlights Q: Can you provide more details on the anticipated impact on quality mix and the expected mix between domestic and export sales for the rest of the year? A: Jason Fanning, Chief Commercial Officer, stated that there would be no impact on quality from the changes made. The sales mix is expected to be roughly 2/3 seaborne and 1/3 domestic, similar to the first half of the year. Jeremy Sussman, CFO, added that they might be slightly more domestic in the second half, around 35%. Q: What are your estimates for savings from the 2.5% production tax credit starting January 1st? A: Jeremy Sussman, CFO, estimated that the savings would be around $15 million a year on EBIT, though this is subject to some variation.

A: Randy Atkins, Chairman and CEO, did not comment on specific discussions but noted that they are in talks with the government. He emphasized the importance of government support to counteract China's market manipulation and suggested that a national critical mineral strategic reserve could be beneficial. Q: How did you arrive at the price assumptions for scandium in your PEA, and how do you plan to balance supply with demand? A: Mike Walicek, EVP of Critical Mineral Operations, explained that demand for scandium would increase with a Western supply source. Jeremy Sussman, CFO, added that the price assumptions are based on Western pricing and historical data, and they have received interest from potential customers willing to pay for a secure domestic supply. Q: What are the most important growth drivers in the scandium market? A: Mike Walicek, EVP of Critical Mineral Operations, identified the airline industry as a major end-user, with Boeing and Airbus potentially using up to 150 tons a year. Scandium-aluminum alloys offer benefits like lighter weight, which is advantageous for aircraft. The automotive industry also presents opportunities for scandium use.
