Investor Presentation February 28, 2017
2 Forward-looking information Investor Presentation This presentation contains forward-looking statements that is, statements related to future, not past, events. Forward-looking statements address our expected future business and financial performance including our financial projections and often contain words such as believes, could, should, expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, seeks, or will. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain and depend upon important estimates and assumptions concerning our financial and operating results, including with respect to our coal pricing expectations, many of which are subject to change. No representations or warranties are made by us as to the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements. The inclusion of this information should not be regarded as an indication that we consider it to be necessarily predictive of actual future results. The information contained herein reflect numerous estimates and assumptions with respect to coal market conditions, general economic conditions, weather conditions, natural gas prices, competition in our industry, production capacity, availability of surety bonds, and matters other matters specific to our business, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Uncertainties arise from changes in the demand for and pricing of our coal by the domestic electric generation industry; from legislation and regulations relating to the Clean Air Act and other environmental initiatives; from operational, geological, permit, labor and weather-related factors; from fluctuations in the amount of cash we generate from operations; from future integration of acquired businesses; and from numerous other matters of national, regional and global scale, including those of a political, economic, business, competitive or regulatory nature. There is significant risk that our current estimates and assumptions may not be accurate and that our actual results will vary significantly from our anticipated results. Readers are cautioned not to rely on the forward-looking statements contained herein. We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law. For a description of some of the risks and uncertainties that may affect our future results, you should see the risk factors described from time to time in the reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA and cash costs per ton. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing our financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income from operations, cash flows from operations, earnings per fully-diluted share or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under generally accepted accounting principles. You should be aware that our presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of these financial measures to the most comparable measures presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has been included at the end of this presentation.
3 The new Arch Coal Arch is a leading producer of metallurgical coal and the second largest producer of thermal coal in the United States We have two distinct but complementary lines of business We produce high-quality metallurgical coal in Appalachia for sale into the global steel market We produce highly cost-competitive thermal coal primarily in the Powder River Basin for sale into the U.S. power generation market Arch has deep expertise in coal mining, marketing and logistics, and levers those competencies to great effect across these two business lines We operate a streamlined portfolio of large, modern, well-capitalized and low-cost mines that can generate free cash flow at all points in the cycle Our demonstrated capabilities in mine safety and environmental stewardship underpin our strong operating record and low cost structure Investor Presentation

15 Arch has extensive, comparable, low-cost reserves adjacent to its flagship Leer mine Reserves are comparable in geology and High-Vol A coal quality, and will support decades of mining Arch could replicate the Leer longwall mine and supplement with low-cost room-and-pillar mining on these adjacent reserves As at Leer, Arch owns this entire 130-million-ton reserve block in fee* In addition, we are adding incremental volumes at modest cost Investor Presentation Source: Arch and MSHA * Arch has absolute ownership of these reserves, therefore no royalty fees are assessed on this property.
Archs Well-Positioned Thermal Coal Franchise
17 Archs thermal portfolio is anchored by one of the largest and most efficient thermal mines in the world Arch produces the vast majority of its thermal coal from its operations in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming The PRB benefits from superior geology and a low emissions profile Archs flagship thermal operation is the low-cost Black Thunder mine Highest heat content coal in the southern PRB Located on the joint rail line Cost-competitively ships coal into every major power generation market in the U.S. Rightsized to produce 70 to 80 million tons annually Coal Creek mine rounds out Archs strong PRB portfolio This low-cost, low-ratio operation is well-positioned on the joint line and serves a stable customer base Investor Presentation

21 Archs PRB-anchored thermal portfolio is supplemented by low-cost operations in other key basins Investor Presentation PRB WBIT ILB CAPP Viper is an efficient Illinois deep mine supported by a long-term supply contract with a nearby municipal generator and complementary industrial customers. Knight Hawk, in which Arch holds a 49-percent equity interest, is a mid-sized ILB producer with one of the lowest net cost structures in the region. Coal-Mac is a low-cost West Virginia surface mine with an established customer base and access to both Tier 1 Eastern railroads. West Elk is a low-cost Colorado longwall mine that produces high-heat, low-sulfur coal for domestic and international power generators as well as industrial customers throughout the Southwest. Note: 2016 sales volumes: Coal-Mac 2.1 million tons; Viper 1.7 million tons; West Elk 4.2 million tons; Knight Hawk (100%) 4.5 million tons.

24 The 2016 election should prove beneficial on a number of fronts The risk of another round of power plant closures has diminished greatly We expect U.S. thermal coal demand to remain relatively stable well into the next decade The moratorium on federal coal leasing is likely to be short-lived We dont need to add PRB reserves in the near term, but the future optionality has value Other production-focused regulations are unlikely to be implemented Stream Protection Rule has been blocked by Congress We expect a relatively smooth and expeditious permitting process for our undeveloped metallurgical reserves The incoming Administration is likely to be sharply focused on maintaining a strong and competitive domestic steel sector More robust infrastructure spending, should it materialize, would be a clear boon to domestic steel demand Investor Presentation

31 Reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures Investor Presentation Adjusted EBITDAR condition. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDAR should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to net income, income Adjusted EBITDAR is defined as net income attributable to the Company before the effect of net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, the amortization of acquired sales contracts and reorganization items, net. Adjusted EBITDAR may also be adjusted for items that may not reflect the trend of future results. Adjusted EBITDAR is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and items excluded from Adjusted EBITDAR are significant in understanding and assessing our financial from operations, cash flows from operations or as a measure of our profitability, liquidity or performance under generally accepted accounting principles. We believe that Adjusted EBITDAR presents a useful measure of our ability to incur and service debt based on ongoing operations. Furthermore, analogous measures are used by industry analysts to evaluate our operating performance. In addition, acquisition related expenses are excluded to make results more comparable between periods. Investors should be aware that our presentation of Adjusted EBITDAR may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The table below shows how we calculate Adjusted EBITDAR. Included in this presentation, we have disclosed certain non-GAAP measures as defined by Regulation G. The following reconciles these items to net income and cash flows as reported under GAAP.

32 Reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures Regional cash cost per tons sold Regional cash costs per ton sold are calculated as the regional cash cost of tons sold divided by the regions tons sold. The regional cash cost of tons sold are adjusted for transportation costs, and may be adjusted for other items that, due to accounting rules, are classified in other (income) expense, net on the statement of operations, but relate directly to the costs incurred to produce coal. Regional cash cost of tons sold is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We believe regional cash cost of tons sold better reflects our controllable costs and our operating results by including all costs incurred to produce coal. The adjustments made to arrive at these measures are significant in understanding and assessing our financial condition. Therefore, regional cash cost of tons sold should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to cost of sales under generally accepted accounting principles.
