(NYSE: AMR), a leading U.S. supplier of metallurgical products for the steel industry, today reported financial results for the second quarter ending June 30, 2025.(millions, except per share)Three months endedJune 30, 2025 Mar. 31, 2025 June 30, 2024 Net (loss) income ($5.0) ($33.9) $58.9 Net (loss) income per diluted share ($0.38) ($2.60) $4.49 Adjusted EBITDA(1) $46.1 $5.7 $116.0 Operating cash flow $53.2 $22.2 $138.1 Capital expenditures ($34.6) ($38.5) ($61.1) Tons of coal sold 3.9 3.8 4.6 __________________________________ 1. These are non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA is included in tables accompanying the financial schedules. "I want to commend our team on a great quarter and an especially impressive cost performance," said Andy Eidson, Alpha's chief executive officer. "We achieved significant improvement in our cost of coal sales for the quarter as our previously announced savings initiatives began to take effect. As a result, we are reducing our full year cost of coal sales guidance range by $2.50 per ton at the midpoint. The announcement of other guidance changes to SG&A, idle operations expense, and net interest income, reflects our updated expectations for the balance of the year." Eidson continued: "I am also pleased to report that we had total liquidity of $557 million as of June 30, which is the culmination of our teams working together to position ourselves to capitalize on opportunities." Financial Performance Alpha reported a net loss of $5.0 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2025, as compared to net loss of $33.9 million, or $2.60 per diluted share, in the first quarter. Total Adjusted EBITDA was $46.1 million for the second quarter, compared to $5.7 million in the first quarter.

Represents Non-GAAP cost of coal sales and Non-GAAP cost of coal sales per ton which is defined and reconciled under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Results of Operations." Alpha's Met segment cost of coal sales decreased to an average of $100.06 per ton in the second quarter, compared to $110.34 per ton in the first quarter. The primary drivers of the cost reduction include labor and supplies. Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash provided by operating activities in the second quarter increased to $53.2 million as compared to $22.2 million in the first quarter. Capital expenditures for the second quarter were $34.6 million compared to $38.5 million for the first quarter. As of June 30, 2025, the company had total liquidity of $556.9 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $449.0 million and $182.9 million of unused availability under the asset-based revolving credit facility (ABL), partially offset by a minimum required liquidity of $75.0 million as required by the ABL. As of June 30, 2025, the company had no borrowings and $42.1 million in letters of credit outstanding under the ABL. Total long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt as of June 30, 2025, was $5.8 million. On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law legislation commonly referred to as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" ("OBBBA"). The OBBBA includes the addition of metallurgical coal to the list of "applicable critical minerals" for purposes of the Section 45X credit. The Section 45X credit (also known as the advanced manufacturing production credit), as amended, provides a refundable tax credit equal to 2.5% of the production costs for metallurgical coal produced during tax years 2026 through 2029. We are currently analyzing the financial impact of the Section 45X credit and expect that it will serve as a source of additional liquidity in future years. Based on preliminary analysis, the company currently believes the annual cash benefit of the tax credit may be in the range of $30 million to $50 million, dependent upon the amount of qualifying production costs incurred in a given year. Share Repurchase Program As previously announced, Alpha's board of directors authorized a share repurchase program allowing for the expenditure of up to $1.5 billion for the repurchase of the company's common stock, with remaining authorization of approximately $400 million. Due to softness in the metallurgical coal markets over approximately the last five quarters, the company has refrained from repurchasing shares, electing instead to focus on strengthening its liquidity position. Having achieved a meaningful increase in liquidity over that time period, the company plans to restart the share repurchase program on an opportunistic basis. The timing and amount of share repurchases will be based on various factors, including but not limited to market conditions, the trading price of the stock, applicable legal requirements, compliance with the provisions of the company's debt agreements, and other factors. 2025 Guidance Adjustments and Performance Update Alpha is lowering its cost of coal sales guidance for the year to a range of $101.00 per ton to $107.00 per ton, down from the prior range of $103.00 per ton to $110.00 per ton. The company is also reducing its 2025 guidance for selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses. The new range is $48 million to $54 million, down from the previous range of $53 million to $59 million. The company is increasing its expected idle operations expense for the year, moving to a range of $21 million to $29 million, up from the prior range of $18 million to $28 million. Alpha expects increased net cash interest income for the year between $6 million and $12 million, up from the previously established range of $2 million to $10 million. As of July 30, 2025, Alpha has committed and priced approximately 69% of its metallurgical coal for 2025 at an average price of $127.37 per ton and 100% of its thermal coal for the year at an average price of $80.52 per ton.2025 Guidance in millions of tons Low High Metallurgical 13.8 14.8 Thermal 0.8 1.2 Met Segment - Total Shipments 14.6 16.0Committed/Priced1,2,3 Committed Average Price Metallurgical - Domestic$152.21 Metallurgical - Export$112.17 Metallurgical Total 69 % $127.37 Thermal 100 % $80.52 Met Segment 72 % $122.54Committed/Unpriced1,3 CommittedMetallurgical Total 31 %Thermal — %Met Segment 28 % Costs per ton4 Low High Met Segment $101.00 $107.00In millions (except taxes) Low High SG&A5 $48 $54 Idle Operations Expense $21 $29 Net Cash Interest Income $6 $12 DD&A $165 $185 Capital Expenditures $130 $150 Capital Contributions to Equity Affiliates6 $44 $54 Cash Tax Rate 0 % 5 %Notes: 1. Based on committed and priced coal shipments as of July 30, 2025. Committed percentage based on the midpoint of shipment guidance range. 2. Actual average per-ton realizations on committed and priced tons recognized in future periods may vary based on actual freight expense in future periods relative to assumed freight expense embedded in projected average per-ton realizations. 3. Includes estimates of future coal shipments based upon contract terms and anticipated delivery schedules. Actual coal shipments may vary from these estimates. 4. Note: The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of its forward-looking non-GAAP cost of coal sales per ton sold financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying with reasonable accuracy significant items required for the reconciliation. The most directly comparable GAAP measure, GAAP cost of sales, is not accessible without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis. The reconciling items include freight and handling costs, which are a component of GAAP cost of sales. Management is unable to predict without unreasonable efforts freight and handling costs due to uncertainty as to the end market and FOB point for uncommitted sales volumes and the final shipping point for export shipments. These amounts have varied historically and may continue to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and material changes to these items could have a significant effect on our future GAAP results. 5. Excludes expenses related to non-cash stock compensation and non-recurring expenses. 6. Includes contributions to fund normal operations at our DTA export facility and expected capital investments related to the facility upgrades.

FINANCIAL TABLES FOLLOW Non-GAAP Financial Measures The discussion below contains "non-GAAP financial measures." These are financial measures that 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," and "non-GAAP coal margin." In addition to net income, we use Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of our reportable segment. Adjusted EBITDA does not purport to be an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or any other measure of operating results, financial performance, or liquidity presented 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. 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. The presentation of these measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. 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, capital investments and other factors. Included below are reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures. ALPHA METALLURGICAL RESOURCES, INC.

Trump's coal frenzy clashes with market realities
President Donald Trump's mad dash to unleash more mining and burning of 'beautiful clean coal' across the U.S. is running face-first into unfavorable market realities. The president has vowed to reverse Biden-era policies, rev up U.S. mining, and keep aging coal-fired power plants alive. But hundreds of miners have been laid off in states like West Virginia in recent weeks, prices remain low and a growing number of small, metallurgical coal producers across the U.S. continue to declare bankruptcy. Last week, Core Natural Resources laid off 200 miners in West Virginia at a metallurgical coal mine. The announcement arrived after Coronado Global Resources laid off workers at its coal mine in the state. Miners were also laid off at Alpha Metallurgical Resources' mine in Boone County last year. At the same time, companies like Corsa Coal Corp. and Coking Coal, LLC, have declared bankruptcy, and some say the industry will continue to face turbulence. Advertisement 'I wouldn't be surprised if we see several other producers either go out of the market or … you'll see substantial cutbacks, layoffs,' Randall Atkins, founder of Kentucky-based Ramaco Resources, which mines both coal and rare earths, told POLITICO's E&E News. 'There are plenty of others that are not in good shape. There are more companies out there that are teetering.'

Analysts Have Lowered Expectations For Alpha Metallurgical Resources, Inc. (NYSE:AMR) After Its Latest Results
Alpha Metallurgical Resources, Inc. (NYSE:AMR) missed earnings with its latest quarterly results, disappointing overly-optimistic forecasters. It was a pretty negative result overall, with revenues of US$532m missing analyst predictions by 7.2%. Worse, the business reported a statutory loss of US$2.60 per share, much larger than the analysts had forecast prior to the result. The analysts typically update their forecasts at each earnings report, and we can judge from their estimates whether their view of the company has changed or if there are any new concerns to be aware of. So we collected the latest post-earnings statutory consensus estimates to see what could be in store for next year. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. Following the recent earnings report, the consensus from dual analysts covering Alpha Metallurgical Resources is for revenues of US$2.25b in 2025. This implies a chunky 14% decline in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Earnings are expected to tip over into lossmaking territory, with the analysts forecasting statutory losses of -US$5.36 per share in 2025. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of US$2.59b and earnings per share (EPS) of US$10.23 in 2025. There looks to have been a major change in sentiment regarding Alpha Metallurgical Resources' prospects following the latest results, with a real cut to revenues and the analysts now forecasting a loss instead of a profit. Check out our latest analysis for Alpha Metallurgical Resources The average price target fell 33% to US$183, implicitly signalling that lower earnings per share are a leading indicator for Alpha Metallurgical Resources' valuation. These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Alpha Metallurgical Resources' past performance and to peers in the same industry. We would highlight that revenue is expected to reverse, with a forecast 19% annualised decline to the end of 2025. That is a notable change from historical growth of 16% over the last five years. Compare this with our data, which suggests that other companies in the same industry are, in aggregate, expected to see their revenue grow 4.3% per year. So although its revenues are forecast to shrink, this cloud does not come with a silver lining - Alpha Metallurgical Resources is expected to lag the wider industry. The biggest low-light for us was that the forecasts for Alpha Metallurgical Resources dropped from profits to a loss next year. Unfortunately, they also downgraded their revenue estimates, and our data indicates underperformance compared to the wider industry. Even so, earnings per share are more important to the intrinsic value of the business. Furthermore, the analysts also cut their price targets, suggesting that the latest news has led to greater pessimism about the intrinsic value of the business. Following on from that line of thought, we think that the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings. We have analyst estimates for Alpha Metallurgical Resources going out as far as 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here. That said, it's still necessary to consider the ever-present spectre of investment risk.

Alpha Metallurgical Resources (AMR): Among Billionaire Jim Simons' RenTech's Small-Cap Stock Picks with Huge Upside Potential
We recently published a list of . In this article, we are going to take a look at where Alpha Metallurgical Resources, Inc. (NYSE:AMR) stands against Billionaire Jim Simons' RenTech's other small-cap stock picks with huge upside potential. Jim Simons was (and still is even after his death in May 2024) one of the biggest names – if not the biggest – in the hedge fund space. He was a gifted mathematician and had a successful career in academia before making a bold pivot to finance in the late 70s. In 1978, he founded Monemetrics (a currency trading firm) and Limroy (a hedge fund), which were collapsed into one entity in 1982 and renamed Renaissance Technologies Corporation. This entity had one major objective: to use quantitative, computer-driven models to exploit market inefficiencies. In other words, Simons and his team were committed to making investment decisions based on sophisticated algorithms. (RenTech) began as a hedge fund but later morphed into something bigger. It is now an investment management firm that operates several hedge funds. Its flagship offering is the Medallion Fund. The Medallion Fund is known for extraordinary returns. During the crash (early 2000s) and the financial crisis (2007-2011), Medallion's returns were 56.6% and 74.6%, respectively. Following the first two years of operation, the lowest annual return was 31.5%. READ ALSO: Billionaire Seth Klarman's 10 Stock Picks with Huge Upside Potential and Billionaire Andreas Halvorsen's 10 Stock Picks With Huge Upside Potential. The Medallion Fund's track record in the market, and by extension RenTech's, made Simons a lot of money. At death, he was worth $31.4 billion and ranked among the top 100 richest people in the world. And, as Simons often said, all of the success he had in the market comes down to the love of mathematics. Accordingly, the Medallion Fund has been capable of extraordinary returns mostly because the investment team – led by Simons – leveraged mathematics. The fund utilizes algorithm-based methods to identify patterns and leverage past data for investing decisions. That is why RenTech invested (and continues to invest) billions in intellectuals and professionals from fields like Mathematics, Computer Science, and Physics. In one of his last interviews, he said: 'We hired statisticians, physicists, astronomers, mathematicians — the important thing was that they were very smart.' Jim Simons was a generational talent when it came to investing. He started an investment business and led to heights that others can only dream of. And because his legacy lives in RenTech, it makes sense to want to know what companies they're invested in. We sifted through Renaissance Technologies' Q4 2024 SEC 13F filings to compile this list. We focused only on shares in companies and excluded interests in ETFs and options. Then, we picked the stocks with a market capitalization of $10 billion or less. From the result, we ranked the stocks based on analyst price targets and selected the top 10 companies with the highest upside potential (as of April 30). Why are we interested in the stocks that hedge funds pile into? The reason is simple: our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds. Our quarterly newsletter's strategy selects 14 small-cap and large-cap stocks every quarter and has returned 373.4% since May 2014, beating its benchmark by 218 percentage points (). Jim Simons of Renaissance Technologies Alpha Metallurgical Resources, Inc. (NYSE:AMR) is a US-based mining company that mainly produces metallurgical coal (a raw material used to make steel). The company operates coal mines in Central Appalachia and supplies its products to steel producers both in the US and around the world. In Q4 2024, Alpha Metallurgical Resources, Inc. (NYSE:AMR) reported a net loss of $2.1 million ($0.16 per diluted share) for the quarter. This is a huge decline from the $176.0 million net income reported in Q4 2023. Adjusted EBITDA came in at $53.2 million, down from $266.3 million in the same period last year. On the other hand, operating cash flow decreased to $56.3 million compared to $199.4 million in Q4 2023. The management reduced its 2025 volume guidance for metallurgical coal shipments to 14.5-15.5 million tons, the reason being weak metallurgical coal market conditions. Despite the challenging financial posture, several institutional investors have strengthened their stakes in Alpha Metallurgical Resources, Inc. (NYSE:AMR). Russell Investments Group Ltd. boosted its position by 86.5% in Q4 2024, acquiring an additional 4,280 shares to bring its total ownership to 9,228 shares. Barclays PLC grew its holdings by 308.2% in Q3, adding 14,089 shares for a total position of 18,646 shares. Notably, 33 hedge funds and institutional investors, including RenTech, now own 84.29% of the company's stock. Analysts hold a Moderate Buy opinion on the stock, and their 12-month average price target points to a 48.74% upside from current levels as of May 1. Overall, AMR ranks 4th on our list of Billionaire Jim Simons' RenTech's small-cap stock picks with huge upside potential. While we acknowledge the potential of AMR as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame. There is an AI stock that went up since the beginning of 2025, while popular AI stocks lost around 25%. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than AMR but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings check out our report about this cheapest AI stock.
