PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)    Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Peabody Energy Corporation (PEC) and its consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates (along with PEC, the Company or Peabody). Interests in subsidiaries controlled by the Company are consolidated with any outside stockholder interests reflected as noncontrolling interests, except when the Company has an undivided interest in a joint venture. In those cases, the Company includes its proportionate share in the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the jointly controlled entities within each applicable line item of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. All intercompany transactions, profits and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. Balance sheet information presented herein as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheet at that date. The Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2022.

(2)    Newly Adopted Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

Convertible Debt. In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-06, which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. Among other changes, ASU 2020-06 removes from U.S. GAAP the liability and equity separation model for convertible instruments with a cash conversion feature, and as a result, after adoption, entities will no longer separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature for such debt. Similarly, the embedded conversion feature will no longer be amortized into income as interest expense over the life of the instrument. Instead, entities will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt unless (1) a convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging or (2) a convertible debt instrument was issued at a substantial premium. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method to calculate the impact of convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and can be adopted on either a fully retrospective or modified retrospective basis. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06, effective January 1, 2022. In the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, the adoption of the new standard impacted the accounting for the Company’s $320.0 million of convertible debt issued in March 2022, as further described in Note 9. “Long-term Debt.” In particular, because the related senior notes have cash conversion features, bifurcation of the principal balance between debt and equity is no longer applicable. Additionally, this guidance requires the application of the “if-converted” method to calculate the impact of convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share, as reflected in the Company’s calculations within Note 11. “Earnings per Share (EPS).”

Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented

Reference Rate Reform. In March 2020, ASU 2020-04 was issued, which provides temporary optional expedients to applying the reference rate reform guidance to contracts that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. Under this update, contract modifications resulting in a new reference rate may be accounted for as a continuation of the existing contract. This guidance is effective upon issuance of the update and applies to contract modifications made through December 31, 2022. The Company has certain debt which utilizes a U.S. Dollar one-month LIBOR rate, which is expected to be published until June 2023. The LIBOR rate is likely to be replaced by a similar secured or unsecured overnight financing rate. The Company cannot estimate the impact of such variable rates on its consolidated financial statements.

(6) Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements

Derivatives

From time to time, the Company may utilize various types of derivative instruments to manage its exposure to risks in the normal course of business, including (1) foreign currency exchange rate risk and the variability of cash flows associated with forecasted Australian dollar expenditures made in its Australian mining platform, (2) price risk of fluctuating coal prices related to forecasted sales or purchases of coal, or changes in the fair value of a fixed price physical sales contract, (3) price risk and the variability of cash flows related to forecasted diesel fuel purchased for use in its operations and (4) interest rate risk on long-term debt. These risk management activities are actively monitored for compliance with the Company’s risk management policies.

On a limited basis, the Company engages in the direct and brokered trading of coal and freight-related contracts. Except those contracts for which the Company has elected to apply a normal purchases and normal sales exception, all derivative coal trading contracts are accounted for at fair value. The Company had no diesel fuel or interest rate derivatives in place as of June 30, 2022.

Foreign Currency Option Contracts

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had currency options outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of $758.0 million Australian dollars to hedge currency risk associated with anticipated Australian dollar expenditures over the nine-month period ending March 31, 2023. The instruments are quarterly average rate options which entitle the Company to receive payment on the notional amount should the quarterly average Australian dollar-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate exceed amounts ranging from $0.74 to $0.80 over the nine-month period ending March 31, 2023.

Derivative Contracts Related to Forecasted Sales

As of June 30, 2022, the Company held coal derivative contracts related to a portion of its forecasted sales with an aggregate notional volume of 1.0 million tonnes. Such financial contracts may include futures, forwards and options. Included in this total are 0.9 million tonnes related to financial derivatives entered to support the profitability of the Wambo Underground Mine as part of a strategy to extend the mine life through mid-2023. Of this total, 0.4 million tonnes will settle in 2022 and 0.5 million tonnes will settle in 2023 at expected average pricing of approximately $84 per tonne (Newcastle index). The remaining 0.1 million tonnes aggregate notional volume related to other coal financial contracts will settle in 2022. Additionally, the Company classifies certain physical forward sales contracts as derivatives for which the normal purchase, normal sales exception does not apply.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a net unrealized mark-to-market loss of $24.5 million on these coal derivative contracts, which includes approximately $40 million of unrealized mark-to-market losses on financial derivatives and approximately $15 million of unrealized mark-to-market gains on physical forward sales contracts. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a net unrealized mark-to-market loss of $325.5 million on these coal derivative contracts, which includes approximately $306 million of unrealized mark-to-market losses on financial derivatives and approximately $20 million of unrealized mark-to-market losses on physical forward sales contracts.

Financial Trading Contracts

On a limited basis, the Company may enter coal or freight derivative contracts for trading purposes. Such financial contracts may include futures, forwards and options. The Company held nominal financial trading contracts as of June 30, 2022.

Tabular Derivatives Disclosures

The Company has master netting agreements with certain of its counterparties which allow for the settlement of contracts in an asset position with contracts in a liability position in the event of default or termination. Such netting arrangements reduce the Company’s credit exposure related to these counterparties. For classification purposes, the Company records the net fair value of all the positions with a given counterparty as a net asset or liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of derivatives reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets are set forth in the table below.

The Company generally posts or receives variation margin cash with its clearing broker on the majority of its financial derivatives as market values of the financial derivatives fluctuate. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had posted $544.2 million aggregate margin cash, consisting of $427.4 million variation margin cash and $116.8 million initial margin. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had posted $130.1 million aggregate margin cash, consisting of $91.8 million variation margin cash and $38.3 million initial margin.

The Company classifies the cash effects of its derivatives within the “Cash Flows From Operating Activities” section of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on the observability of the inputs utilized in the valuation. These levels include: Level 1 - inputs are quoted prices in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 - inputs are other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable through market-corroborated inputs; and Level 3 - inputs are unobservable, or observable but cannot be market-corroborated, requiring the Company to make assumptions about pricing by market participants.

For Level 1 and 2 financial assets and liabilities, the Company utilizes both direct and indirect observable price quotes, including interest rate yield curves, exchange indices, broker/dealer quotes, published indices, issuer spreads, benchmark securities and other market quotes. In the case of certain debt securities, fair value is provided by a third-party pricing service. Below is a summary of the Company’s valuation techniques for Level 1 and 2 financial assets and liabilities:

•Foreign currency option contracts are valued utilizing inputs obtained in quoted public markets (Level 2) except when credit and non-performance risk is considered to be a significant input, then the Company classifies such contracts as Level 3.

•Derivative contracts related to forecasted sales and financial trading contracts are generally valued based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) or a valuation that is corroborated by the use of market-based pricing (Level 2) except when credit and non-performance risk is considered to be a significant input (greater than 10% of fair value), then the Company classifies as Level 3.

•Investments in equity securities are based on observed prices in an inactive market (Level 3).

Other Financial Instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values for other financial instruments as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

•Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, including those within the Company’s accounts receivable securitization program, margining cash, notes receivable and accounts payable have carrying values which approximate fair value due to the short maturity or the liquid nature of these instruments.

•Long-term debt fair value estimates are based on observed prices for securities when available (Level 2), and otherwise on estimated borrowing rates to discount the cash flows to their present value (Level 3).

14

PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Market risk associated with the Company’s fixed- and variable-rate long-term debt relates to the potential reduction in the fair value and negative impact to future earnings, respectively, from an increase in interest rates. The fair value of debt, shown below, is principally based on reported market values and estimates based on interest rates, maturities, credit risk, underlying collateral and completed market transactions.

	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
	(Dollars in millions)
Total debt at par value	$	1,075.4	$	1,173.2
Less: Unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount	(28.5)		(35.4)
Net carrying amount	$	1,046.9	$	1,137.8
Estimated fair value	$	1,189.9	$	1,136.5

Generally, the Company’s Level 3 instruments or contracts are valued using bid/ask price quotations and other market assessments obtained from multiple, independent third-party brokers or other transactional data incorporated into internally-generated discounted cash flow models. Decreases in the number of third-party brokers or market liquidity could erode the quality of market information and therefore the valuation of the Company’s market positions. The Company’s valuation techniques include basis adjustments to the foregoing price inputs for quality, such as sulfur and ash content, location differentials, expressed as port and freight costs, and credit risk. The Company’s risk management function independently validates the Company’s valuation inputs, including unobservable inputs, with third-party information and settlement prices from other sources where available. A daily process is performed to analyze market price changes and changes to the portfolio. Further periodic validation occurs at the time contracts are settled with the counterparty. These valuation techniques have been consistently applied in all periods presented, and the Company believes it has obtained the most accurate information available for the types of derivative contracts held.

Significant increases or decreases in the inputs in isolation could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The unobservable inputs do not have a direct interrelationship; therefore, a change in one unobservable input would not necessarily correspond with a change in another unobservable input.

The Company had no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The Company’s policy is to value all transfers between levels using the beginning of period valuation.

(7) Property, Plant, Equipment and Mine Development

The composition of property, plant, equipment and mine development, net, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is set forth in the table below:

Asset Impairment and Other At-Risk Assets

The Company has identified certain assets with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $0.5 billion at June 30, 2022 in its Other U.S. Thermal Mining and Corporate and Other segments whose recoverability is most sensitive to customer demand, customer concentration risk and future economic viability. The Company conducted a review of those assets as of June 30, 2022 and determined that no impairment charges were necessary as of that date.

The Company is expecting to utilize substantial net operating losses in Australia and the U.S. in 2022 based on estimated pretax income. The Company’s income tax provision of $11.3 million and income tax benefit of $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, included tax benefits of $3.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively, related to the remeasurement of foreign income tax accounts. The Company’s income tax provision of $10.3 million and income tax benefit of $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, included tax benefits of $1.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively, related to the remeasurement of foreign income tax accounts.

2021 Financing Activity and Subsequent Repurchases

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company completed a series of financing transactions to provide the Company with maturity extensions and covenant relief, while allowing it to maintain near-term operating liquidity. These transactions included a senior notes exchange, a revolving credit facility exchange, various amendments to the Company’s existing debt agreements, and a support agreement with the Company’s surety bond providers.

Subsequent to these transactions, the Company completed additional financing transactions which included the implementation of an at-the-market equity offering program pursuant to which the Company sold approximately 24.8 million shares of common stock for net cash proceeds of $269.8 million, the retirement of $270.9 million principal amount of existing debt through various open market purchases at an aggregate cost of $232.4 million, and the issuance of an aggregate 10.0 million shares of common stock in exchange for an additional $106.1 million principal amount of existing debt through multiple bilateral transactions with debt holders.

PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

In the event of open market purchases of its debt, the terms of the 2024 Peabody Notes - now redeemed as described below - required, and the letter of credit facility entered into by the Company in connection with the 2021 financing activity (Company LC Agreement) requires the Company to make repurchase offers to those debt and lien holders. In general, the repurchase offers equate to 25% of the principal amount of priority lien debt repurchased in the preceding quarter at a price equal to the weighted average repurchase price paid over that quarter. The open market debt repurchases completed during the three months ended December 31, 2021 necessitated a mandatory repurchase offer of up to $38.6 million of 2024 Peabody Notes, at 94.940% of their aggregate accreted value, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and a concurrent repurchase offer of priority lien obligations under the Company LC Agreement. The offer resulted in the valid tender and purchase of $0.1 million aggregate accreted value of 2024 Peabody Notes and $30.0 million aggregate principal and commitment amounts under the Company LC Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company’s purchase of the principal and commitment amounts under the Company LC Agreement was effected by the posting of $28.5 million of collateral with the administrative agent and did not reduce the availability under the facility.

The 2024 Co-Issuer Notes and the Co-Issuer Term Loans are also subject to mandatory prepayment offers at the end of each six-month period, beginning with June 30, 2021, whereby the Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes indenture) generated by the Wilpinjong Mine during each such period will be applied to the principal of such notes and loans on a pro rata basis, provided that the liquidity attributable to the Wilpinjong Mine would not fall below $60.0 million. Such prepayments may be accepted or declined at the option of the debt holders. Based upon the Wilpinjong Mine’s results for the six-month period ended December 31, 2021, a required offer to prepay $105.6 million of total principal resulted in the prepayment of $17.2 million of Co-Issuer Term Loans principal, $0.3 million of 2024 Co-Issuer Notes principal, and a related loss on early debt extinguishment of $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Based upon the Wilpinjong Mine’s results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Company was required to offer to prepay $65.1 million of total principal subsequent to June 30, 2022. The holders of the Co-Issuer Term Loans unanimously declined their $37.9 million pro rata portion of the offer and the $27.2 million pro rata portion of the offer to the holders of the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes will expire on August 29, 2022.

Voluntary repurchases of Co-Issuer Term Loans are permissible through a modified Dutch auction process. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company solicited bids under such process from all holders of Co-Issuer Term Loans for the repurchase of up to $50.0 million principal amount at prices acceptable to the Company. The auction process resulted in the repurchase of $50.0 million principal amount at a weighted average price of 103.91%, or $52.0 million. The Company recorded a related loss on early debt extinguishment of $3.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Additionally, the indenture which governs the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes requires that, within 30 business days following a repurchase of the Co-Issuer Term Loans such as that undertaken through the auction process described above, the Company must also offer to repurchase an equivalent principal amount of the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes at the equivalent purchase price. As such, the required offer for $50.0 million aggregate principal amount was made by the Company on May 26, 2022 and subsequently increased to $93.9 million, at the Company’s discretion, subsequent to June 30, 2022. Prior to expiration of the offer, an excess aggregate principal amount of 2024 Co-Issuer Notes had been validly tendered, but the terms of the offer limited the repurchase to $93.9 million. Such amount was classified within “Current portion of long-term debt” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2022. The Company completed the repurchase on July 25, 2022 for $97.5 million.

The credit agreement which governs the Co-Issuer Term Loans requires parity between the holders of Co-Issuer Term Loans and holders of the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes with respect to repurchase offers. Accordingly, the discretionary increase to the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes repurchase offer compelled the Company to offer to repurchase an additional $43.9 million of aggregate principal amount of Co-Issuer Term Loans at 103.91% subsequent to June 30, 2022. The offer will expire August 22, 2022. Such amount was classified within “Current portion of long-term debt” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2022.

Prior to June 30, 2022, the Company reached agreements to repurchase $22.6 million aggregate principal amount of its Senior Secured Term Loan for $21.3 million in open market transactions. The repurchases settled subsequent to June 30, 2022, and the aggregate principal amount was classified within “Current portion of long-term debt” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2022. As a result of these repurchases, the Company will offer to repurchase $5.7 million of priority lien obligations under the Company LC Agreement at approximately 94% during the three months ending December 31, 2022.

On March 1, 2022, through a private offering, the Company issued $320.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.250% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the 2028 Convertible Notes). The 2028 Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are governed under an indenture.

The Company used the proceeds of the offering of the 2028 Convertible Notes to redeem the remaining $62.6 million of its outstanding 2024 Peabody Notes and, together with available cash, approximately $257.4 million of its outstanding 2025 Notes, and to pay related premiums, fees and expenses relating to the offering of the 2028 Convertible Notes and the redemptions. The Company capitalized $11.2 million of debt issuance costs related to the offering and recognized a loss on early debt extinguishment of $23.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

The 2028 Convertible Notes will mature on March 1, 2028, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms. The 2028 Convertible Notes will bear interest from March 1, 2022 at a rate of 3.250% per year payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2022.

The 2028 Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders only in the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2022, if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (2) during the five consecutive business days immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (such five consecutive trading day period, the Measurement Period) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes for each trading day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day; (3) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on the Company’s common stock; (4) if the Company calls any 2028 Convertible Notes for redemption; and (5) at any time from, and including, September 1, 2027 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date.

Upon conversion, the Company may satisfy its conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s election, in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions provided in the indenture. The initial conversion rate for the 2028 Convertible Notes will be 50.3816 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $19.85 per share of the Company’s common stock. The initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately 32.5% to the $14.98 per share closing price of the Company’s common stock on February 24, 2022. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the indenture. If certain corporate events described in the indenture occur prior to the maturity date, or the Company delivers a notice of redemption (as described below), the conversion rate will be increased for a holder who elects to convert its 2028 Convertible Notes in connection with such corporate event or notice of redemption, as the case may be, in certain circumstances.

The Company may not redeem the 2028 Convertible Notes prior to March 1, 2025. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2028 Convertible Notes, at its option, on or after March 1, 2025 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (1) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (2) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. However, the Company may not redeem less than all of the outstanding 2028 Convertible Notes unless at least $75 million aggregate principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes are outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time the Company sends the related redemption notice. No sinking fund is provided for the 2028 Convertible Notes.

If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture), noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their 2028 Convertible Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

Margin Financing Arrangement

On March 7, 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement, by and among the Company, as borrower, Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement provides for a $150 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the Revolving Facility), which will mature on April 1, 2025 and bears interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum on drawn amounts.

The Revolving Facility is intended to support the Company’s near-term liquidity requirements, particularly with respect to the cash margin requirements associated with the Company’s coal derivative contracts, which fluctuate depending upon underlying market coal prices.

Concurrently with the Credit Agreement, the Company entered into an agreement with Goldman Sachs & Company LLC to act as sales agent for at-the-market equity offerings of up to $225.0 million of the Company’s common stock.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company borrowed and repaid $225.0 million under the Revolving Facility using net proceeds of $222.0 million from at-the-market issuances of 10.1 million shares of common stock and available cash. The Company had no outstanding borrowings and no availability under the Revolving Facility at June 30, 2022. The Company issued a notice to terminate the facility on August 1, 2022 with an effective date of August 4, 2022.

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make certain other restricted payments or investments, enter into agreements that restrict distributions from subsidiaries, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, create or incur liens, and merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of their assets.

Borrowings under the Revolving Facility are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by substantially all of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries (excluding any unrestricted subsidiaries).

Retirement of 2022 Notes

On March 31, 2022, the Company retired the remaining principal balance of 2022 Notes upon maturity for $23.1 million.

(10) Pension and Postretirement Benefit Costs

The components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs, excluding the service cost for benefits earned, are included in “Net periodic benefit credit, excluding service cost” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Net periodic pension credit included the following components:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
	(Dollars in millions)
Service cost for benefits earned	$	—	$	0.1	$	—	$	0.1

Net periodic pension credit	$	(0.6)	$	(0.5)	$	(1.2)	$	(1.1)

Annual contributions to the qualified plans are made in accordance with minimum funding standards and the Company’s agreement with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. Funding decisions also consider certain funded status thresholds defined by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (generally 80%). As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s qualified plans were expected to be at or above the Pension Protection Act thresholds. The Company is not required to make any contributions to its qualified pension plans in 2022 based on minimum funding requirements and does not expect to make any discretionary contributions in 2022 at this time.

In March 2022, Peabody Investments Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a commitment agreement relating to the Peabody Investments Corp. Retirement Plan (the Plan) with The Prudential Insurance Company of America (Prudential) and Fiduciary Counselors Inc., as independent fiduciary to the Plan. Under the commitment agreement, the Plan purchased a group annuity contract (Group Annuity Contract) from Prudential for approximately $500 million and Prudential will reimburse the Plan for future benefit payments to be made to the Plan’s participants. Under the terms of this transaction, the Plan will continue to administer and pay the retirement benefits of Plan participants but will be reimbursed by Prudential for the payment of all benefits covered by the Group Annuity Contract. The purchase of the Group Annuity Contract was funded directly by the Plan’s assets. There will be no impact on the monthly retirement benefits paid to Plan participants. In addition, there will be no material impact on discretionary contributions for the Plan in 2022 or on the Company’s earnings in 2022 as a result of this transaction. In May 2022, the Board of Directors of Peabody Investments Corp. approved commencing a standard Employee Retirement Income Security Act plan termination with an effective date of plan termination of July 31, 2022. In June 2022, the Plan’s participants were notified of the plan termination.

Net periodic postretirement benefit credit included the following components:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
	(Dollars in millions)

Amortization of prior service credit	(13.5)		(11.0)		(26.9)		(22.0)
Net periodic postretirement benefit credit	$	(11.7)	$	(8.0)	$	(23.4)	$	(16.1)

In October 2021, the Company announced changes to its postretirement health care benefit plan for certain represented retirees which reduced its accumulated postretirement benefit obligation, as further described in Note 14. “Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefits” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The reduction in liability was recorded with an offsetting balance in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” and is being amortized to earnings.

The Company has established a Voluntary Employees Beneficiary Association (VEBA) trust to pre-fund a portion of benefits for non-represented retirees. The Company does not expect to make any discretionary contributions to the VEBA trust in 2022 and plans to utilize a portion of VEBA assets to make certain benefit payments.

(11) Earnings per Share (EPS)

Basic EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding. As such, the Company includes the 2028 Convertible Notes and share-based compensation awards in its potentially dilutive securities. Generally, dilutive securities are not included in the computation of loss per share when a company reports a net loss from continuing operations as the impact would be anti-dilutive.

For all but performance units, the potentially dilutive impact of the Company’s share-based compensation awards is determined using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, awards are treated as if they had been exercised with any proceeds used to repurchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Any incremental difference between the assumed number of shares issued and purchased is included in the diluted share computation. For performance units, their contingent features result in an assessment for any potentially dilutive common stock by using the end of the reporting period as if it were the end of the contingency period for all units granted.

A conversion of the 2028 Convertible Notes may result in payment in the Company’s common stock. For diluted EPS purposes, the potentially dilutive common stock is assumed to have been converted at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later). In periods where the potentially dilutive common stock is included in the computation of diluted EPS, the numerator will be adjusted to add back tax adjusted interest expense related to the convertible debt.

The computation of diluted EPS excluded aggregate share-based compensation awards of less than 0.1 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and approximately 1.2 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for those periods. Because the potential dilutive impact of such share-based compensation awards is calculated under the treasury stock method, anti-dilution generally occurs when the exercise prices or unrecognized compensation cost per share of such awards are higher than the Company’s average stock price during the applicable period. Anti-dilution also occurs when a company reports a net loss from continuing operations, and the dilutive impact of all share-based compensation awards are excluded accordingly.

(12) Financial Instruments and Other Guarantees

The Company is a party to various guarantees and financial instruments that carry off-balance-sheet risk and are not reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2022, such instruments included $1,453.5 million of surety bonds and $475.1 million of letters of credit. Such financial instruments provide support for the Company’s reclamation bonding requirements, lease obligations, insurance policies and various other performance guarantees. The Company periodically evaluates the instruments for on-balance sheet treatment based on the amount of exposure under the instrument and the likelihood of required performance. The Company does not expect any material losses to result from these guarantees or off-balance-sheet instruments in excess of liabilities provided for in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Reclamation Bonding

The Company is required to provide various forms of financial assurance in support of its mining reclamation obligations in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Such requirements are typically established by statute or under mining permits.

In November 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with the providers of its surety bond portfolio to resolve previous collateral demands. In accordance with the agreement, the Company initially provided $75.0 million of collateral, in the form of letters of credit. The Company subsequently granted second liens on $200.0 million of certain mining equipment and is further required to post an additional $25.0 million of collateral per year from 2021 through 2024 for the benefit of the surety providers. The collateral postings further increase to the extent the Company generates more than $100.0 million of free cash flow (as defined in the surety agreement) in any twelve-month period or has cumulative asset sales in excess of $10.0 million, as of the last quarter end during the term of the agreement. Based upon the Company’s free cash flow through June 30, 2022, additional collateral of $13.0 million was posted during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $25.7 million was posted subsequent to June 30, 2022, in the form of cash-collateralized letters of credit.

At June 30, 2022, the Company’s asset retirement obligations of $725.1 million were supported by surety bonds of $1,276.9 million, as well as letters of credit issued under the Company’s receivables securitization program and the Company LC Agreement. Letters of credit issued at June 30, 2022 which served as collateral for surety bonds in support of asset retirement obligations amounted to $346.4 million.

Accounts Receivable Securitization

The Company entered into the Sixth Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, as amended, dated as of April 3, 2017 (the Receivables Purchase Agreement) to extend the Company’s receivables securitization facility previously in place and expand that facility to include certain receivables from the Company’s Australian operations. The receivables securitization program (Securitization Program) is subject to customary events of default set forth in the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Receivables Purchase Agreement was amended in January 2022 to extend the Securitization Program to January 2025, reduce the available funding capacity from $250.0 million to $175.0 million, and amend the relevant borrowing rate from a LIBOR-based rate to one based on Bloomberg’s Short-Term Bank Yield Index (BSBY). Such funding is accounted for as a secured borrowing, limited to the availability of eligible receivables, and may be secured by a combination of collateral and the trade receivables underlying the program, from time to time. Funding capacity under the Securitization Program may also be utilized for letters of credit in support of other obligations.

Borrowings under the Securitization Program bear interest at BSBY plus 2.1% per annum and remain outstanding throughout the term of the agreement, subject to the Company maintaining sufficient eligible receivables.

At June 30, 2022, the Company had no outstanding borrowings and $161.5 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Securitization Program. The letters of credit were primarily in support of reclamation obligations. Availability under the Securitization Program, which is adjusted for certain ineligible receivables, was $13.5 million at June 30, 2022. The Company was not required to post cash collateral under the Securitization Program at June 30, 2022.

The Company incurred interest and fees associated with the Securitization Program of $0.9 million and $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $1.8 million and $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which have been recorded as “Interest expense” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Collateralized Letter of Credit Agreement

In February 2022, the Company entered into a new agreement, which provides up to $250.0 million of capacity for irrevocable standby letters of credit, expected to primarily support reclamation bonding requirements. The agreement requires the Company to provide cash collateral at a level of 103% of the aggregate amount of letters of credit outstanding under the arrangement (limited to $5.0 million total excess collateralization.) Outstanding letters of credit bear a fixed fee in the amount of 0.75% per annum. The Company receives a deposit rate of 0.35% per annum on the amount of cash collateral posted in support of letters of credit, with the rate subject to variation over time. The agreement has an initial expiration date of December 31, 2025. At June 30, 2022, collateralized letters of credit of $12.3 million were outstanding under the agreement.

(13) Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

Unconditional Purchase Obligations

As of June 30, 2022, purchase commitments for capital expenditures were $42.3 million, all of which is obligated within the next three years, with $35.4 million obligated within the next 12 months.

There were no other material changes to the Company’s commitments from the information provided in Note 23. “Commitments and Contingencies” to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Contingencies

From time to time, the Company or its subsidiaries are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business or related to indemnities or historical operations. The Company believes it has recorded adequate reserves for these liabilities. The Company discusses its significant legal proceedings below, including ongoing proceedings and those that impacted the Company’s results of operations for the periods presented.

Litigation Relating to Continuing Operations

Securities Class Action. On September 28, 2020, the Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and Retirement System brought a lawsuit, styled In Re Peabody Energy Corporation Securities Litigation No. 1:20-cv-08024 (PKC), against the Company and certain of its officers in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the Court) on behalf of a putative class of shareholders (Plaintiffs) who held Company stock between April 3, 2017 and October 28, 2019, for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder (Securities Class Action). Plaintiffs allege that the defendants made false or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose certain adverse facts pertaining to safety practices at the Company’s North Goonyella Mine and the events leading up to a fire at the mine, and that, after a September 28, 2018 fire at the mine, made false or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose certain adverse facts pertaining to the feasibility of the Company’s plan to restart the mine after the fire. On January 12, 2021, the Court appointed the Oregon Public Employees Retirement Fund as lead plaintiff. On January 25, 2021, the Court entered a scheduling order for this matter. Plaintiffs filed their amended complaint on March 19, 2021. The defendants filed a pre-motion letter on April 30, 2021 while the Plaintiffs’ response letter was filed on May 6, 2021. The defendants filed their motion to dismiss on June 7, 2021. The Plaintiffs’ opposition brief to the motion to dismiss was filed on July 22, 2021. The defendants filed their reply to Plaintiffs’ opposition on August 23, 2021, completing briefing at this phase of the litigation. On March 7, 2022, the Court granted in part and denied in part the defendants’ motion to dismiss. As a result of this decision, only Plaintiffs’ allegations relating to the Company’s September 25, 2018 statements remain in the case. On May 13, 2022, the Court entered a Case Management and Scheduling Order.

On August 2, 2022, Peabody and Plaintiffs agreed to settle all claims brought on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s shares between April 3, 2017 and October 28, 2019 in exchange for $4.6 million, to be paid by Peabody’s insurers. The parties further agreed to negotiate in good faith and execute a definitive stipulation of settlement and related documents, which are subject to the Court’s approval. The stipulation of settlement will not contain any admission of liability, wrongdoing, or responsibility by any of the parties and will provide that upon final approval of the settlement, the case will be dismissed with prejudice, with mutual releases by all parties.

Derivative Actions. On December 22, 2020, a plaintiff (Phelps), putatively on behalf of the Company, brought a shareholder derivative lawsuit, styled Phelps v. Samantha Algaze, et al., Case No. 1:20-cv-01747-UNA (D. Del. filed Dec. 22, 2020), in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against certain directors and former officers of the Company, as defendants. The Company was also named as a nominal defendant. The plaintiff did not make a demand on the Company’s board before instituting the lawsuit and alleges such demand would have been futile. In the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that the defendants failed to disclose adverse facts relating to the safety practices at the Company’s North Goonyella Mine, thereby leading to a September 28, 2018 fire, and allegedly failed to disclose adverse facts pertaining to the feasibility of reopening the mine. The derivative complaint alleges (i) contribution against certain current and former officers for securities fraud based on the Securities Class Action, and against all defendants, (ii) breach of fiduciary duties, (iii) waste of corporate assets for causing the Company to incur legal liability and (iv) unjust enrichment.

PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

On February 10, 2021, a second plaintiff (Di Fusco), putatively on behalf of the Company, filed a similar shareholder derivative lawsuit, styled Di Fusco v. Glenn Kellow, et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-00183-UNA (D. Del. filed Feb. 10, 2021), in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against the directors and current and former officers of the Company, as defendants. The Company was named as a nominal defendant. This suit makes claims similar to those made in the Phelps matter, but asserts a claim for alleged misstatements in a proxy statement under Section 14(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. In late March 2021, the parties filed a stipulation agreeing to consolidate and stay both derivative actions for judicial efficiency and cost until the Court rules on the motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action. In light of the March 7, 2022 decision on the motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action, the parties are discussing how to proceed with the derivative actions, which currently remained stayed. The Company also believes that the derivative actions lack merit and intends to vigorously defend against the allegations.

Other

At times, the Company becomes a party to other disputes, including those related to contract miner performance, claims, lawsuits, arbitration proceedings, regulatory investigations and administrative procedures in the ordinary course of business in the U.S., Australia and other countries where the Company does business. Based on current information, the Company believes that such other pending or threatened proceedings are likely to be resolved without a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company reassesses the probability and estimability of contingent losses as new information becomes available.

Claims, Litigation and Settlements Relating to Indemnities or Historical Operations

Patriot-Related Matters. Included in the Company’s discontinued operations are the previously divested legacy operations of Patriot Coal Corporation and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (Patriot). In 2012, Patriot filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the U.S. Code (the Bankruptcy Code). In 2013, the Company entered into a definitive settlement agreement (2013 Agreement) with Patriot and the United Mine Workers of America, on behalf of itself, its represented Patriot employees and its represented Patriot retirees, to resolve all then-disputed issues related to Patriot’s bankruptcy. In May 2015, Patriot again filed voluntary petitions for relief under the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and subsequently initiated a process to sell substantially all of its assets to qualified bidders. On October 9, 2015, Patriot’s bankruptcy court entered an order confirming Patriot’s plan of reorganization, which provided, among other things, for the sale of substantially all of Patriot’s assets to two different buyers.

Patriot had federal and state black lung occupational disease liabilities related to workers employed in periods prior to Patriot’s spin-off from the Company in 2007. Upon spin-off, Patriot indemnified the Company against any claim relating to these liabilities, which amounted to approximately $150 million at that time. The indemnification included any claim made by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) against the Company with respect to these obligations as a potentially liable operator under the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969. The 2013 Agreement included Patriot’s affirmance of indemnities provided in the spin-off agreements, including the indemnity relating to such black lung liabilities; however, Patriot rejected this indemnity in its May 2015 bankruptcy.

By statute, the Company had secondary liability for the black lung liabilities related to Patriot’s workers employed by former subsidiaries of the Company. The Company’s accounting for the black lung liabilities related to Patriot is based on an interpretation of applicable statutes. Management believes that inconsistencies exist among the applicable statutes, regulations promulgated under those statutes and the DOL’s interpretative guidance. The Company has sought clarification from the DOL regarding these inconsistencies. The amount of these liabilities could be reduced in the future. Whether the Company will ultimately be required to fund certain of those obligations in the future as a result of Patriot’s May 2015 bankruptcy remains uncertain. The amount of the liability, which was determined on an actuarial basis based on the best information available to the Company, was $86.6 million and $87.2 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The liability, which is classifed as discontinued operations, is included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet within “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” and “Other noncurrent liabilties.” While the Company has recorded a liability, it intends to review each claim on a case-by-case basis and contest liability estimates as appropriate. The amount of the Company’s recorded liability reflects only Patriot workers employed by former subsidiaries of the Company that are presently retired, disabled or otherwise not actively employed. The Company cannot reliably estimate the potential liabilities for Patriot’s workers employed by former subsidiaries of the Company that are presently active in the workforce because of the potential for such workers to continue to work for another coal operator that is a going concern.

(14) Segment Information

The Company reports its results of operations primarily through the following reportable segments: Seaborne Thermal Mining, Seaborne Metallurgical Mining, Powder River Basin Mining, Other U.S. Thermal Mining and Corporate and Other. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, defined as its Chief Executive Officer, uses Adjusted EBITDA as the primary metric to measure the segments’ operating performance and allocate resources.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before deducting net interest expense, income taxes, asset retirement obligation expenses and depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is also adjusted for the discrete items that management excluded in analyzing the segments’ operating performance, as displayed in the reconciliation below. Management believes non-GAAP performance measures are used by investors to measure the Company’s operating performance and lenders to measure the Company’s ability to incur and service debt. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to serve as an alternative to U.S. GAAP measures of performance and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies.

Overview

Peabody is a leading producer of metallurgical and thermal coal. In 2021, the Company produced and sold 126.9 million and 130.1 million tons of coal, respectively, from continuing operations. At June 30, 2022, the Company owned interests in 17 active coal mining operations located in the United States (U.S.) and Australia. Included in that count is Peabody’s 50% equity interest in Middlemount Coal Pty Ltd. (Middlemount), which owns the Middlemount Mine in Queensland, Australia. In addition to its mining operations, the Company markets and brokers coal from other coal producers, both as principal and agent, and trades coal and freight-related contracts.

The Company reports its results of operations primarily through the following reportable segments: Seaborne Thermal Mining, Seaborne Metallurgical Mining, Powder River Basin Mining, Other U.S. Thermal Mining and Corporate and Other. Refer to Note 14. “Segment Information” to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding those segments and the components of its Corporate and Other segment.

Spot pricing for premium low-vol hard coking coal (Premium HCC), premium low-vol pulverized coal injection (Premium PCI) coal, Newcastle index thermal coal and API 5 index thermal coal, and prompt month pricing for PRB 8,880 Btu/Lb coal and Illinois Basin 11,500 Btu/Lb coal during the three months ended June 30, 2022 is set forth in the table below.

The seaborne pricing included in the table below is not necessarily indicative of the pricing the Company realized during the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to quality differentials and a portion of its seaborne sales being executed through annual and multi-year international coal supply agreements that contain provisions requiring both parties to renegotiate pricing periodically, with spot, index and quarterly sales arrangements also utilized. The Company’s typical practice is to negotiate pricing for seaborne metallurgical coal contracts on a bi-annual, quarterly, spot or index basis and seaborne thermal coal contracts on an annual, spot or index basis.

In the U.S., the pricing included in the table below is also not necessarily indicative of the pricing the Company realized during the three months ended June 30, 2022 since the Company generally sells coal under long-term contracts where pricing is determined based on various factors. Such long-term contracts in the U.S. may vary significantly in many respects, including price adjustment features, price reopener terms, coal quality requirements, quantity parameters, permitted sources of supply, treatment of environmental constraints, extension options, force majeure and termination and assignment provisions. Competition from alternative fuels such as natural gas and other fuel sources may also impact the Company’s realized pricing.

	High		Low		Average		June 30, 2022		July 29, 2022
Premium HCC (1)	$	530.25	$	302.00	$	445.52	$	302.00	$	191.00

(1)    Prices expressed per metric tonne.

(2)    Prices expressed per short ton.

Within the global coal industry, supply and demand for its products and the supplies used for mining have been impacted by the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian conflict and the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Furthermore, inflationary pressures have contributed to rising costs and may continue to rise in future periods. As future developments related to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the COVID-19 pandemic and rising inflation are unknown, the global coal industry data for the six months ended June 30, 2022 presented herein may not be indicative of their ultimate impacts.

29

Within the seaborne metallurgical coal market, the three months ended June 30, 2022 were characterized by significant volatility, primarily driven by a weakening global macroeconomic environment and trade disruptions following sanctions imposed on Russian coal imports. Steel prices weakened in the three months ended June 30, 2022, causing some steelmakers to consider output cuts in the coming period. This is influencing short-term incremental metallurgical coal demand; however, it is being counteracted by steelmakers in Atlantic markets seeking to mitigate exposure to Russian coal imports, causing increased demand for supply from other regions such as Australia, the U.S. and Canada. This is particularly so for PCI, where Russia accounts for approximately 35% of global traded volumes. China’s unofficial ban on Australian coal remains in place and continues to disrupt traditional trade flows. The Company believes energy shortages in some markets present a risk to industrial activity, but the underlying market fundamentals remain constructive.

Within the seaborne thermal coal market, global thermal coal prices continue to remain at near-record levels, fueled by broader energy supply security concerns. These concerns have been driven by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and the subsequent ban of Russian coal by European countries, as well as weather and COVID impacts limiting supply response out of Australia. In China, domestic coal production and renewable generation growth have been strong during the six months ended June 30, 2022, which has lowered import demand to start the year. In India, elevated domestic coal production has limited import demand, allowing coal buyers to wait for lower thermal seaborne prices. Overall, global thermal coal markets remain turbulent as supply remains tight and European coal importers look to replace Russian coal.

In the United States, overall electricity demand increased more than 4% year-over-year, positively impacted by weather and economic activity. Through the six months ended June 30, 2022, electricity generation from thermal coal has declined year-over-year due to coal conservation by utilities to build coal stocks ahead of summer, strong year-over-year comparatives in February 2021 and record renewable generation. Coal’s share of electricity generation has declined slightly to approximately 20% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, while wind generation’s share has increased to 11%. Coal inventories have continued to decline since December 2021, with a decline of approximately 7% or 7 million tons. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, utility consumption of PRB coal declined approximately 2% compared to the prior year period.

Financing Transactions

During the first quarter of 2022, Peabody issued convertible senior unsecured notes and used the proceeds of the offering to retire nearer term higher cost senior secured debt. This both lowered the Company’s borrowing rates and extended debt maturities to 2028. During the second quarter of 2022, Peabody continued to reduce it outstanding debt, with additional retirements pending settlement after the balance sheet date.

High demand and tight supply for coal globally has resulted in a substantial rise in seaborne thermal coal prices in the first half of 2022, which has been amplified by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, resulting in unprecedented upward volatility in Newcastle coal pricing since late February. As a result, Peabody posted additional cash margin of $414.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 to satisfy the margin requirements for its derivative contracts.

Refer to the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section contained within this Item 2 for a further discussion of these financing and liquidity transactions.

Other

In March 2022, the Company entered into a joint venture with unrelated partners to form R3 Renewables LLC (R3). R3 was formed with the intent of developing various sites, including certain non-mining land held by the Company in the U.S., for utility-scale photovoltaic solar generation and battery storage. During the second quarter of 2022, R3 advanced efforts with potential customers, finalized its management team and commenced site evaluations with project developer Treaty Oak Clean Energy, LLC. The Company’s interest in R3 is accounted for as an equity method investment. The Company contributed $2.5 million to R3 and recorded an equity loss of $1.8 million from its operations during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

30

In March 2022, Peabody Investments Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a commitment agreement relating to one of its qualified pension plans (the Plan) with an insurer. Under the commitment agreement, the Plan purchased a group annuity contract for approximately $500 million and the insurer will reimburse the Plan for future benefit payments to be made to the Plan’s participants. Under the terms of this transaction, the Plan will continue to administer and pay the retirement benefits of Plan participants but will be reimbursed by the insurer for the payment of all benefits covered by the group annuity contract. In May 2022, the board of directors of Peabody Investments Corp. approved commencing a standard Employee Retirement Income Security Act plan termination with an effective date of plan termination of July 31, 2022. Refer to Note 10. “Pension and Postretirement Benefit Costs” to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a further discussion of this transaction.

Results of Operations

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

Summary

The increases in results from continuing operations, net of income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in the prior year ($434.3 million and $392.2 million, respectively), were primarily driven by higher revenue ($598.5 million and $638.6 million, respectively) due to higher realized prices; improved results from equity affiliates ($52.2 million and $97.8 million, respectively); and lower interest expense ($7.8 million and $20.8 million, respectively). These favorable variances were partially offset by higher operating costs and expenses ($214.2 million and $330.6 million, respectively), which reflect increased sales sensitive costs, inflationary pressures for materials, services, repairs and labor; and net losses on early debt extinguishments in the current year ($14.1 million and $41.1 million, respectively).

Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 reflected year-over-year increases of $455.7 million and $722.1 million, respectively.

Seaborne Thermal Mining. Segment revenue increased during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year due to favorable realized prices ($156.8 million) and favorable mix variances ($4.0 million) resulting from higher export volumes. Segment revenue increased during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to favorable realized prices ($271.9 million), offset by unfavorable volumes ($36.3 million) which were impacted by a longwall move at the Wambo Underground Mine, wet weather and COVID-19-related staffing shortages.

Seaborne Metallurgical Mining. Segment revenue increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in the prior year due to favorable realized prices ($279.8 million and $470.0 million, respectively) and favorable volume and mix variances ($133.0 million and $176.6 million, respectively).

32

Powder River Basin Mining. Segment revenue decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year due to unfavorable volumes ($43.2 million) resulting from rail performance issues, partially offset by favorable realized prices ($24.3 million). Segment revenue increased during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year due to favorable realized coal pricing ($51.3 million), offset by unfavorable volumes ($47.4 million).

Other U.S. Thermal Mining. Segment revenue increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in the prior year due to favorable realized prices ($48.6 million and $88.6 million, respectively) and favorable volumes ($14.2 million and $28.0 million, respectively).

Corporate and Other. Segment revenue decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to lower results from trading activities ($22.5 million). Segment revenue decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year due to increased net unrealized mark-to-market losses on derivative contracts related to forecasted coal sales ($299.9 million) and lower results from trading activities ($70.6 million).

Seaborne Thermal Mining. Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in the prior year as a result of higher realized prices net of sales sensitive costs ($143.8 million and $249.7 million, respectively), partially offset by unfavorable operational costs ($48.5 million and $87.5 million, respectively) resulting from the impacts of wet weather, COVID-19-related staffing shortages, the longwall move at the Wambo Underground Mine and inflationary pressures.

Seaborne Metallurgical Mining. Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in the prior year due to higher realized prices net of sales sensitive costs ($241.8 million and $408.2 million, respectively) and favorable volumes, offset by higher costs resulting from longwall panel transitions at the Shoal Creek Mine and inflationary pressures across the segment.

Powder River Basin Mining. Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in the prior year due to lower volumes ($23.4 million in both periods) resulting from rail performance issues; the unfavorable impacts of higher commodity pricing ($19.0 million and $33.6 million, respectively) and higher costs for materials, services, repairs and labor ($18.7 million and $42.8 million, respectively), both of which were impacted by inflationary pressures; and elevated overburden removal costs. These decreases were partially offset by higher prices net of sales sensitive costs ($24.8 million and $51.9 million, respectively).

Other U.S. Thermal Mining. Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in the prior year due to higher realized prices net of sales sensitive costs ($50.1 million and $91.5 million, respectively) and favorable volumes ($6.2 million and $13.0 million, respectively). These increases were offset by higher costs for materials, services, repairs and labor ($23.5 million and $49.4 million, respectively) and the unfavorable impacts of higher commodity pricing ($14.5 million and $24.4 million, respectively), both of which were impacted by inflationary pressures.

Corporate and Other Adjusted EBITDA	$	41.4	$	(12.7)	$	54.1	426	%	$	39.8	$	(24.0)	$	63.8	266	%

(1)Middlemount’s results are before the impact of related changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowance and reserves and amortization of basis difference. Middlemount’s standalone results included (on a 50% attributable basis) aggregate amounts of depreciation, depletion and amortization, asset retirement obligation expenses, net interest expense and income taxes of $23.3 million and $3.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $43.5 million and $7.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

(2)Includes gains (losses) on certain surplus coal reserve and surface land sales and property management costs and revenue.

(3)Includes trading and brokerage activities, costs associated with post-mining activities, gains (losses) on certain asset disposals, minimum charges on certain transportation-related contracts, costs associated with suspended operations including the North Goonyella Mine and expenses related to the Company’s other commercial activities.

Corporate and Other Adjusted EBITDA benefited during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year from favorable variances in Middlemount’s results due to the impact of higher sales pricing ($53.0 million and $100.4 million, respectively) and gains on various land sales in both the U.S. and Australia ($11.5 million and $12.6 million, respectively). This benefit was largely offset by unfavorable trading results ($12.1 million and $54.0 million, respectively).

Powder River Basin Mining	0.32		0.24		0.32		0.24
Other U.S. Thermal Mining	1.24		1.17		1.21		1.15

The increase in the weighted-average depletion rate per ton for the Seaborne Metallurgical Mining segment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year reflects the impact of the resumption of sales at the Shoal Creek Mine.

Interest Expense. The decrease in interest expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily reflects the impacts of debt retirements completed by the Company during 2022 and 2021 and prior year fees related to a series of refinancing transactions completed by the Company (six months, $10.6 million) as further described in Note 9. “Long-term Debt” to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and Note 11. “Long-term Debt” to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Net (Loss) Gain on Early Debt Extinguishment. The losses recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were primarily related to the redemption of existing notes during the periods as further discussed in Note 9. “Long-term Debt” to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Unrealized Losses on Derivative Contracts Related to Forecasted Sales. Unrealized losses primarily relate to mark-to-market activity on derivatives related to forecasted sales. For additional information, refer to Note 6. “Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements” to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Unrealized Losses on Foreign Currency Option Contracts. Unrealized losses primarily relate to mark-to-market activity on foreign currency option contracts. For additional information, refer to Note 6. “Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements” to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Income Tax (Provision) Benefit. The increase in the income tax provision during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to changes in forecasted taxable income, partially offset by an increase in the benefit related to the remeasurement of foreign income tax accounts. The Company expects to utilize substantial net operating losses in Australia and the U.S. in 2022 based on estimated pretax income. Refer to Note 8. “Income Taxes” to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Regulatory Update

Other than as described in the following section, there were no significant changes to the Company’s regulatory matters subsequent to December 31, 2021. Information regarding the Company’s regulatory matters is outlined in Part I, Item 1. “Business” in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Regulatory Matters - U.S.

EPA Regulation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Existing Fossil Fuel-Fired EGUs. On October 23, 2015, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a final rule in the Federal Register regulating greenhouse gas emissions from existing fossil fuel-fired electric generation units (EGUs) under Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) (80 Fed. Reg. 64,662 (Oct. 23, 2015)). The rule (known as the Clean Power Plan or CPP) established emission guidelines for states to follow in developing plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) from existing fossil fuel-fired EGUs. The CPP required that the states individually or collectively create systems that would reduce carbon emissions from any EGU located within their borders by 28% in 2025 and 32% in 2030 (compared with a 2005 baseline).

The EPA subsequently proposed to repeal the CPP and in August 2018 issued a proposed rule to replace the CPP with the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) Rule. In June 2019, the EPA issued a combined package that finalized the CPP repeal rule as well as the replacement rule, ACE. The ACE rule set emissions guidelines for greenhouse gas emissions from existing EGUs based on a determination that efficiency heat rate improvements constitute the Best System of Emission Reduction (BSER). Numerous petitions for review challenging the ACE Rule were filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit (D.C. Circuit) and subsequently consolidated. In January 2021, a 3-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit vacated and remanded the ACE Rule to the EPA, including its repeal of the CPP and amendments to the implementing regulations that extended the compliance timeline.

On October 29, 2021, the Supreme Court of the United States (Supreme Court) granted certiorari in four consolidated matters seeking review of the D.C. Circuit’s opinion vacating the ACE rule and invalidating the repeal of the CPP. On June 30, 2022, the Supreme Court issued its opinion in West Virginia v. EPA, No. 20-1530 (West Virginia). The Supreme Court ruled that the EPA does not have Congressional authority under section 111(d) of the CAA to limit emissions at existing power plants through generation shifting to other fuels and/or renewable energy, but still can regulate emissions at plants by emissions reductions technologies as the EPA has done in the past. The D.C. Circuit’s opinion was reversed and remanded, leaving neither the CPP or the ACE Rule in effect. Thus, it will be necessary for the EPA to initiate new rulemaking in order to control GHGs from EGUs using section 111(d) of the CAA. The EPA tentatively plans to propose emission guidelines for EGUs in the spring of 2023. The Company will continue to monitor EPA rulemaking in this regard.

National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The CAA requires the EPA to review national ambient air quality standards every five years to determine whether revision to current standards are appropriate. As part of this recurring review process, the EPA in 2020 proposed to retain the ozone standards promulgated in 2015, including current secondary standards, and subsequently promulgated final standards to this effect. Fifteen states and other petitioners have filed a petition for review of the rule in the D.C. Circuit. The litigation is currently in abeyance following a motion filed by the EPA to allow for review of the standards.

The EPA also proposed in 2020 to retain the particulate matter (PM) standards last revised in 2012. On December 18, 2020, the EPA issued a final rule to retain both the primary annual and 24-hour PM standards for fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and the primary 24-hour standard for coarse particulate matter (PM10) and secondary PM10 standards. This rule has also been challenged in the D.C. Circuit by several states and environmental organizations. The case is currently in abeyance following a motion filed by the EPA to allow for review of the standards.

40

More stringent PM or ozone standards would require new state implementation plans to be developed and filed with the EPA and may trigger additional control technology for mining equipment or result in additional challenges to permitting and expansion efforts. This could also be the case with respect to other NAAQS for nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and sulfur dioxide (SO2), although these standards are not subject to a statutorily-required review until 2023 for NO2 and 2024 for SO2.

Cross State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) and CSAPR Update Rule. In 2011, the EPA finalized the CSAPR, which requires the District of Columbia and 27 states from Texas eastward (not including the New England states or Delaware) to reduce power plant emissions that cross state lines and significantly contribute to ozone and/or fine particle pollution in other states. In 2016, the EPA published the final CSAPR Update Rule which imposed additional reductions in nitrogen oxides (NOx) beginning in 2017 in 22 states subject to CSAPR. This rule was subsequently remanded back to the EPA. Wisconsin v. EPA, 938 F.3d 303.

In April 2021, the EPA published a final rule in the Federal Register to address the D.C. Circuit remand. This rule imposed further reductions of NOx emissions in 12 states that were subject to the original 2016 rule, which was based on the 2008 ozone NAAQS.

In the same rule, the EPA determined that 9 states did not significantly contribute to downwind nonattainment and/or maintenance issues and therefore did not require additional emission reductions. The EPA subsequently issued Federal Implementation Plans (FIPs) to lower state ozone season NOx budgets in 2021 to 2024 in the affected states. A petition for review challenging the 2021 rule was filed in the D.C. Circuit. Briefing is completed and oral arguments have been scheduled for September 28, 2022, but this does not stay the effectiveness of the rule.

On April 6, 2022, the EPA proposed FIPs to address regional ozone transport for the 2015 ozone NAAQS. The proposed rule would result in new ozone season emission budgets for NOx in 25 states, including four Western states, and the proposed rule additionally contains provisions that would require daily “backstop” emission limits for coal-fired power plants over 100 megawatts. The proposed rule would also set first-time limits on certain industrial sources. The EPA estimates that by 2026 the compliance cost will be $1.1 billion. These emission limitations would apply in addition to requirements contained in State Implementation Plans to control ozone precursors in affected states, although states have the option to replace these limits with equally strict or more stringent limitations.

Mercury and Air Toxic Standards (MATS). The EPA published the final MATS rule in the Federal Register in 2012. The MATS rule revised the new source performance standards (NSPS) for NOx, SO2 and PM for new and modified coal-fueled electricity generating plants, and imposed maximum achievable control technology (MACT) emission limits on hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from new and existing coal-fueled and oil-fueled electric generating plants. MACT standards limit emissions of mercury, acid gas HAPs, non-mercury HAP metals and organic HAPs.

In 2020, the EPA issued a final rule reversing a prior finding and determined that it is not “appropriate and necessary” under the CAA to regulate HAP emissions from coal- and oil-fired power plants. This rule also finalized residual risk and technology review standards for the coal- and oil-fired electricity utility generating units source category. Both actions were challenged in the D.C. Circuit but this litigation was placed in abeyance. On February 9, 2022 the EPA proposed a rule to revoke the 2020 finding and to reaffirm the agency’s 2016 finding that it remains “appropriate and necessary” to regulate HAP emissions from coal- and oil-fired power plants under Clean Air Act section 112. In the same proposal, the EPA solicited comments on the performance and cost of new or improved technologies to control HAPs from these power plants as part of the agency’s review of related residual risk and technology review standards.

Clean Water Act (CWA). The CWA of 1972 directly impacts U.S. coal mining operations by requiring effluent limitations and treatment standards for wastewater discharge from mines through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). Regular monitoring, reporting and performance standards are requirements of NPDES permits that govern the discharge of water from mine-related point sources into receiving waters.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) regulates certain activities affecting navigable waters and waters of the U.S., including wetlands. Section 404 of the CWA requires mining companies to obtain permits from the Corps to place material in or mine through jurisdictional waters of the U.S.

41

States are empowered to develop and apply water quality standards. These standards are subject to change and must be approved by the EPA. Discharges must either meet state water quality standards or be authorized through available regulatory processes such as alternate standards or variances. Standards vary from state to state. Additionally, through the CWA Section 401 certification program, state and tribal regulators have approval authority over federal permits or licenses that might result in a discharge to their waters. State and tribal regulators consider whether the activity will comply with their water quality standards and other applicable requirements in deciding whether or not to certify the activity. The EPA issued a final rule in 2020 that could limit state and tribal regulators’ authority by allowing the EPA to certify projects over state or tribal regulator objections in some circumstances. That rule was temporarily vacated by a district court, but a Supreme Court order on April 7, 2022, effectively reinstated the rule. The EPA issued another proposal in June 2022 that would supersede the 2020 rule and expand state and tribal regulators’ authority to review activities that require federal permits or licenses and to impose conditions they believe are necessary to ensure compliance with water quality requirements.

National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). NEPA, signed into law in 1970, requires federal agencies to review the environmental impacts of their decisions and issue either an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement. Peabody must provide information to agencies when it proposes actions that will be under the authority of the federal government. The NEPA process involves public participation and can involve lengthy timeframes. The White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) issued a final rule comprehensively updating and modernizing its longstanding NEPA regulations on July 16, 2020. That final rule sought to reduce unnecessary paperwork, burdens and delays, promote better coordination among agency decision makers, and clarify scope of NEPA reviews, among other things. States and environmental groups have filed several lawsuits challenging the final rule. On April 20, 2022, however, the CEQ published the final Phase 1 rule that partially amended the 2020 rule by restoring key provisions of the pre-2020 NEPA regulations. The CEQ plans to propose a Phase 2 rule in August 2022 that makes broader changes to the 2020 rule.

Regulatory Matters - Australia

Australia’s federal election on May 21, 2022 resulted in the Labor Party replacing the former Coalition administration. The new Labor government plans several reforms to federal environmental and industrial relations laws that have the potential to negatively impact Australian mining operations; however, the majority of reforms are unlikely to be legislated until 2023. Proposed labor market reforms include legislation that would require contracted or labor hire workers undertaking the same roles as direct employees to be paid equal wages; reduced flexibility of employment; and changes to enterprise bargaining legislation that may increase the difficulty of reaching enterprise agreements.

The new Australian federal government has announced plans to legislate for a 43% reduction in Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and to introduce changes by mid-2023 that will require heavy emitting companies producing more than 100,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually to accelerate their emissions reduction activities. The Australian federal government has also committed to provide an official response to an independent review of Australia’s overarching environmental law, the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act, by the end of 2022, with the aim of developing strengthened environmental legislation in 2023.

On March 15, 2022, the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia overturned the decision in Sharma v Minister for the Environment [2021] FCA 560 (Sharma), a case which found in 2021 that the Federal Minister for the Environment had a duty to avoid causing personal injury or death to children in Australia as a result of carbon emissions when deciding an application to approve a coal mine expansion. In light of this decision, the Minister no longer must consider the effects of carbon emissions when assessing referrals under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. However, an application by Sharma for special leave to appeal to the High Court of Australia remains probable, and the duty could be reinstated.

On and from July 1, 2022, the Queensland Government introduced three new royalty tiers for coal produced and sold from the state. The new tier rates are 20% for the portion of prices above $175 Australian dollars per tonne; 30% for prices above $225 Australian dollars per tonne; and a 40% tier for when prices exceed $300 Australian dollars per tonne. Previously, the maximum royalty rate was 15% of the value of the coal sold above $150 Australian dollars per tonne. The change follows a three-year freeze on royalty rates for coal in the state. The Company is working with other coal producers to consider challenges to the implementation of the new royalty tiers.

Risks Related to Global Climate Change

Peabody recognizes that climate change is occurring and that human activity, including the use of fossil fuels, contributes to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The Company’s largest contribution to GHG emissions occurs indirectly, through the coal used by its customers in the generation of electricity and the production of steel (Scope 3). To a lesser extent, the Company directly and indirectly contributes to GHG emissions from various aspects of its mining operations, including from the use of electrical power and combustible fuels, as well as from the fugitive methane emissions associated with coal mines and stockpiles (Scopes 1 and 2).

Peabody’s board of directors and management believe that coal is essential to affordable, reliable energy and will continue to play a significant role in the global energy mix for the foreseeable future. Peabody views technology as vital to advancing global climate change solutions, and the company supports advanced coal technologies to drive continuous improvement toward the ultimate goal of net-zero emissions from coal.

The board of directors has ultimate oversight for climate-related risk and opportunity assessments, and has delegated certain aspects of these assessments to subject matter committees of the board. In addition, the board and its committees are provided regular updates on major risks and changes, including climate-related matters. The senior management team champions the strategic objectives set forth by the board of directors and Peabody’s global workforce turns those objectives into meaningful actions.

Management believes that the Company’s external communications, including environmental regulatory filings and public notices, SEC filings, its annual Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, its website and various other stakeholder-focused publications provide a comprehensive picture of the Company’s material risks and progress. All such communications are subject to oversight and review protocols established by Peabody’s board of directors and executive leadership team.

The Company faces risks from both the global transition to a net-zero emissions economy and the potential physical impacts of climate change. Such risks may involve financial, policy, legal, technological, reputational and other impacts as the Company meets various mitigation and adaptation requirements.

The transition to a net-zero emissions economy is driven by many factors, including, but not limited to, legislative and regulatory rulemaking processes, campaigns undertaken by non-governmental organizations to minimize or eliminate the use of coal as a source of electricity generation, and the ESG-related policies of financial institutions and other private companies. The Company has experienced, or may in the future experience, negative effects on its results of operations due to the following specific risks as a result of such factors:

•Reduced utilization or closure of existing coal-fired electricity generating plants;

•Electricity generators switching from coal to alternative fuels, when feasible;

•Increased costs associated with regulatory compliance;

•Unfavorable impact of regulatory compliance on supply and demand fundamentals, such as limitations on financing or construction of new coal-fueled power stations;

•Uncertainty and inconsistency in rulemaking processes related to periodic governmental administrative and policy changes;

•Unfavorable costs of capital and access to financial markets and products due to the policies of financial institutions;

•Disruption to operations or markets due to anti-coal activism and litigation; and

•Reputational damage associated with involvement in GHG emissions.

With respect to the potential or actual physical impacts of climate change, the Company has identified the following specific risks:

•Disruption to water supplies vital to mining operations;

•Disruption to transportation and other supply chain activities;

•Damage to the Company’s, customers’ or suppliers’ plant and equipment, or third-party infrastructure, resulting from weather events or changes in environmental trends and conditions; and

•Electrical grid failures and power outages.

43

While the Company faces numerous risks associated with the transition to a net-zero emissions economy and the physical impacts of climate change, certain opportunities may also emerge, such as:

•Heightened emphasis among multiple stakeholders to develop high-efficiency, low-emissions (HELE) technologies and carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS) technologies;

•Increased steel demand related to construction and other infrastructure projects related to climate change concerns; and

•The relative expense and reliability of renewable energy sources compared to coal may encourage support for balanced-source energy policies and regulations.

Global climate issues continue to attract public and scientific attention. Numerous reports, such as the Fourth and the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, have also engendered concern about the impacts of human activity, especially fossil fuel combustion, on global climate issues. In turn, increasing government attention is being paid to global climate issues and to GHG emissions, including emissions of carbon dioxide from coal combustion by power plants. There have been significant developments in federal and state legislation and regulation and international accords regarding climate change. Such developments are described within Part I, Item 1. “Business” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The enactment of future laws or the passage of regulations regarding emissions from the use of coal by the U.S., some of its states or other countries, or other actions to limit such emissions, could result in electricity generators switching from coal to other fuel sources. Further, policies limiting available financing for the development of new coal-fueled power stations could adversely impact the global demand for coal in the future. The potential financial impact on Peabody of such future laws, regulations or other policies will depend upon the degree to which any such laws or regulations force electricity generators to diminish their reliance on coal as a fuel source. That, in turn, will depend on a number of factors, including the specific requirements imposed by any such laws, regulations or other policies, the time periods over which those laws, regulations or other policies would be phased in, the state of development and deployment of CCUS technologies as well as acceptance of CCUS technologies to meet regulations and the alternative uses for coal. Higher-efficiency coal-fired power plants may also be an option for meeting laws or regulations related to emissions from coal use. Several countries, including major coal users such as China, India and Japan, included using higher-efficiency coal-fueled power plants in their plans under the Paris Agreement. The Company believes HELE and CCUS technologies should be part of the solution to achieve substantial reductions in GHG emissions and should be broadly supported and encouraged, including through eligibility for public funding from national and international sources. In addition, CCUS merits targeted deployment incentives, like those provided to other low-emission sources of energy.

From time to time, the Company’s board of directors and management attempt to analyze the potential impact on the Company of as-yet-unadopted, potential laws, regulations and policies. Such analyses require significant assumptions as to the specific provisions of such potential laws, regulations and policies which sometimes show that if implemented in the manner assumed by the analyses, the potential laws, regulations and policies could result in material adverse impacts on the Company’s operations, financial condition or cash flows. Such analyses cannot be relied upon to reasonably predict the quantitative impact that future laws, regulations or other policies may have on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

On March 21, 2022, the SEC proposed rules that would require public companies to disclose extensive climate-related information in certain SEC filings. Specifically, the proposed rules would add new Subpart 1500 to Regulation S-K and new Article 14 to Regulation S-X to require disclosure of climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on a public company’s business, results of operations, or financial condition; GHG emissions associated with a public company that includes, in many cases, an attestation report by a GHG emissions attestation provider; and climate-related financial metrics to be included in a company’s audited financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the proposed rules.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

The Company’s primary source of cash is proceeds from the sale of its coal production to customers. The Company has also generated cash from the sale of non-strategic assets, including coal reserves and surface lands, and, from time to time, borrowings under its credit facilities and the issuance of securities. The Company’s primary uses of cash include the cash costs of coal production, capital expenditures, coal reserve lease and royalty payments, debt service costs, capital and operating lease payments, postretirement plans, take-or-pay obligations, post-mining reclamation obligations, collateral and margining requirements, and selling and administrative expenses. The Company has also used cash for early debt retirements, dividends, and share repurchases

44

Any future determinations to return capital to stockholders, such as dividends or share repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including the restrictions set forth under the Company’s debt and surety agreements, its net income or other sources of cash, liquidity position and potential alternative uses of cash, such as internal development projects or acquisitions, as well as economic conditions and expected future financial results. The Company’s ability to early retire debt, declare dividends or repurchase shares in the future will depend on its future financial performance, which in turn depends on the successful implementation of its strategy and on financial, competitive, regulatory, technical and other factors, general economic conditions, demand for and selling prices of coal and other factors specific to its industry, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company has presently suspended the payment of dividends and share repurchases, as discussed in Part II, Item 2. “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.”

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s cash balances totaled $1,120.7 million, including approximately $386 million held by U.S. subsidiaries, $701 million held by Australian subsidiaries, and the remainder held by other foreign subsidiaries in accounts predominantly domiciled in the U.S. The Australian subsidiaries that conduct the operations of the Wilpinjong Mine held cash of approximately $202 million at June 30, 2022. A significant majority of the cash held by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is denominated in U.S. dollars. This cash is generally used to support non-U.S. liquidity needs, including capital and operating expenditures in Australia. From time to time, the Company may repatriate excess cash from its foreign subsidiaries to the U.S. During the first half of 2022, the Company repatriated approximately $200 million. If additional foreign-held cash is repatriated in the future, the Company does not expect restrictions or potential taxes will have a material effect to its near-term liquidity.

The Company’s available liquidity increased from $995.9 million as of December 31, 2021 to $1,134.2 million as of June 30, 2022. Available liquidity was comprised of the following:

	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
	(Dollars in millions)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,120.7	$	954.3
Credit facility availability	—		15.3
Accounts receivable securitization program availability	13.5		26.3
Total liquidity	$	1,134.2	$	995.9

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company executed an amendment to its credit facility to reduce its capacity by approximately $17 million and to make allowable certain previously restricted payments for joint venture investments. The amendment creates an investment basket which allows payments of $30.0 million per year specifically limited to investment in renewable energy-related projects. Unused portions of the basket carryover from year-to-year, and the total amount of investment will further reduce the credit facility capacity by a like amount, or a minimum of $10.0 million per year, through the maturity of the credit facility. The Company expects to utilize its collateralized letter of credit agreement, described below, to offset future required credit facility capacity reductions. The Company has no contractual commitment for renewable energy-related project investment.

Margin Requirements

From time to time, the Company enters into hedging arrangements, including economic hedging arrangements, to manage various risks, including coal price volatility. Most hedging arrangements require the Company to post margin with its clearing broker based on the value of the related instruments and other credit factors. If the fair value of its exchange-cleared hedge portfolio moves significantly, the Company could be required to post additional margin, which could negatively impact its liquidity.

At March 4, 2022, the Company held coal derivative contracts in aggregate of 2.3 million metric tons. The majority of these contracts were entered into in the first half of 2021 and related to 1.9 million metric tons of production at the Wambo Underground Mine in the Company’s Seaborne Thermal Mining segment, which were expected to be mined and settled at a rate of 1.2 million metric tons in 2022 (with 0.4 million metric tons settling in the first half of 2022 and 0.8 million settling in the second half of 2022) and 0.7 million metric tons in 2023. These hedge contracts were put in place to support the profitability of the mine, securing anticipated average prices of $84 per metric ton through mid-2023. The remaining hedges relate to brokered coal transactions and other blending and optimization activities, which will settle throughout 2022.

45

High demand and tight supply for coal globally has resulted in a substantial rise in seaborne thermal coal prices, which has been amplified by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict resulting in unprecedented upward volatility in Newcastle coal pricing since late February. The Newcastle financial price for March closed at $419.50 per metric ton on March 4, 2022, which was 148% above the closing index price of $169.17 per metric ton on December 31, 2021. As a result, the Company’s total initial and variation margin requirements reached approximately $750 million during March 2022, and were $544.2 million at June 30, 2022. Margin is returned to the Company upon reductions in the underlying market coal price or, absent such reductions, cash is recovered as the Company delivers coal into the market at spot prices.

On March 7, 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement, by and among the Company, as borrower, Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement provides for a $150 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the Revolving Facility), which will mature on April 1, 2025 and bears interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum on drawn amounts. The Revolving Facility is intended to support the Company’s near-term liquidity requirements, particularly with respect to the cash margin requirements associated with the Company’s coal derivative contracts.

Concurrently with the Credit Agreement, the Company entered into an agreement with Goldman Sachs & Company LLC to act as sales agent for at-the-market equity offerings of up to $225.0 million of the Company’s common stock.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company borrowed and repaid $225.0 million under the Revolving Facility using net proceeds of $222.0 million from at-the-market issuances of 10.1 million shares of common stock and available cash. The Company had no outstanding borrowings and no availability under the Revolving Facility at June 30, 2022. The Company issued a notice to terminate the facility on August 1, 2022 with an effective date of August 4, 2022.

To reduce exposure to additional margin requirements, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company converted 0.8 million metric tons of financial hedges into fixed price physical sales over the next 12 months. As of June 30, 2022, 0.9 million metric tons remain outstanding with 0.4 million metric tons projected to settle over the remainder of 2022. On July 29, 2022, the Company had $529.2 million of margin posted. For additional information regarding the Company’s coal derivative contracts, refer to Part I, Item 3. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of this Quarterly Report.

Collateral Requirements

In November 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with the providers of its surety bond portfolio to resolve previous collateral demands. In accordance with the agreement, the Company initially provided $75.0 million of collateral, in the form of letters of credit. The Company subsequently granted second liens on $200.0 million of certain mining equipment and is further required to post an additional $25.0 million of collateral per year from 2021 through 2024 for the benefit of the surety providers. The collateral postings further increase to the extent the Company generates more than $100.0 million of free cash flow (as defined in the surety agreement) in any twelve-month period or has cumulative asset sales in excess of $10.0 million, as of the last quarter end during the term of the agreement. Based upon the Company’s free cash flow through June 30, 2022, additional collateral of $13.0 million was posted during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $25.7 million was posted subsequent to June 30, 2022, in the form of cash-collateralized letters of credit. The Company is unable to accurately estimate future additional collateral postings due to the sensitivity of free cash flow to external market factors such as coal pricing.

Collateralized Letter of Credit Agreement

In February 2022, the Company entered into a new agreement, which provides up to $250.0 million of capacity for irrevocable standby letters of credit, expected to primarily support reclamation bonding requirements. The agreement requires the Company to provide cash collateral at a level of 103% of the aggregate amount of letters of credit outstanding under the arrangement (limited to $5.0 million total excess collateralization.) Outstanding letters of credit bear a fixed fee in the amount of 0.75% per annum. The Company receives a deposit rate of 0.35% per annum on the amount of cash collateral posted in support of letters of credit, with the rate subject to variation over time. The agreement has an initial expiration date of December 31, 2025. At June 30, 2022, collateralized letters of credit of $12.3 million were outstanding under the agreement.

Indebtedness

The Company’s total indebtedness as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is presented in the table below.

Debt Instrument (defined below, as applicable)	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
	(Dollars in millions)
6.000% Senior Secured Notes due March 2022 (2022 Notes)	$	—	$	23.1
8.500% Senior Secured Notes due December 2024 (2024 Peabody Notes)	—		62.6
10.000% Senior Secured Notes due December 2024 (2024 Co-Issuer Notes)	193.6		193.9
Senior Secured Term Loan due 2024 (Co-Issuer Term Loans)	138.8		206.0
6.375% Senior Secured Notes due March 2025 (2025 Notes)	77.5		334.9
Senior Secured Term Loan due 2025, net of original issue discount (Senior Secured Term Loan)	320.9		322.8
3.250% Convertible Senior Notes due March 2028 (2028 Convertible Notes)	320.0		—
Finance lease obligations	24.1		29.3
Less: Debt issuance costs	(28.0)		(34.8)
	1,046.9		1,137.8
Less: Current portion of long-term debt	177.7		59.6
Long-term debt	$	869.2	$	1,078.2

The Company’s indebtedness requires estimated contractual principal and interest payments, assuming interest rates in effect at June 30, 2022, of approximately $40 million during the six months ending December 31, 2022, and approximately $70 million in 2023, $400 million in 2024, $405 million in 2025, and $355 million thereafter. However, as further described below, certain pending transactions to repurchase debt principal could alter the timing and amount of principal and interest payments.

Cash payments for interest related to the Company’s indebtedness and financial assurance instruments amounted to $40.6 million and $48.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $77.8 million and $104.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

2021 Financing Activity and Subsequent Repurchases

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company completed a series of transactions to provide the Company with maturity extensions and covenant relief, while allowing it to maintain near-term operating liquidity. These transactions included a senior notes exchange, a revolving credit facility exchange, various amendments to the Company’s existing debt agreements, and a support agreement with the Company’s surety bond providers.

Subsequent to these transactions, the Company completed additional financing transactions which included the implementation of an at-the-market equity offering program pursuant to which the Company sold approximately 24.8 million shares of common stock for net cash proceeds of $269.8 million, the retirement of $270.9 million principal amount of existing debt through various open market purchases at an aggregate cost of $232.4 million, and the issuance of an aggregate 10.0 million shares of common stock in exchange for an additional $106.1 million principal amount of existing debt through multiple bilateral transactions with debt holders.

In the event of open market purchases of its debt, the terms of the 2024 Peabody Notes - now redeemed as described below - required, and the letter of credit facility entered into by the Company in connection with the 2021 financing activity (Company LC Agreement) requires the Company to make repurchase offers to those debt and lien holders. In general, the repurchase offers equate to 25% of the principal amount of priority lien debt repurchased in the preceding quarter at a price equal to the weighted average repurchase price paid over that quarter. The open market debt repurchases completed during the three months ended December 31, 2021 necessitated a mandatory repurchase offer of up to $38.6 million of 2024 Peabody Notes, at 94.940% of their aggregate accreted value, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and a concurrent repurchase offer of priority lien obligations under the Company LC Agreement. The offer resulted in the valid tender and purchase of $0.1 million aggregate accreted value of 2024 Peabody Notes and $30.0 million aggregate principal and commitment amounts under the Company LC Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company’s purchase of the principal and commitment amounts under the Company LC Agreement was effected by the posting of $28.5 million of collateral with the administrative agent and did not reduce the availability under the facility.

The 2024 Co-Issuer Notes and the Co-Issuer Term Loans are also subject to mandatory prepayment offers at the end of each six-month period, beginning with June 30, 2021, whereby the Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes indenture) generated by the Wilpinjong Mine during each such period will be applied to the principal of such notes and loans on a pro rata basis, provided that the liquidity attributable to the Wilpinjong Mine would not fall below $60.0 million. Such prepayments may be accepted or declined at the option of the debt holders. Based upon the Wilpinjong Mine’s results for the six-month period ended December 31, 2021, a required offer to prepay $105.6 million of total principal resulted in the prepayment of $17.2 million of Co-Issuer Term Loans principal, $0.3 million of 2024 Co-Issuer Notes principal, and a related loss on early debt extinguishment of $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Based upon the Wilpinjong Mine’s results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Company was required to offer to prepay $65.1 million of total principal subsequent to June 30, 2022. The holders of the Co-Issuer Term Loans unanimously declined their $37.9 million pro rata portion of the offer and the $27.2 million pro rata portion of the offer to the holders of the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes will expire on August 29, 2022.

Voluntary repurchases of Co-Issuer Term Loans are permissible through a modified Dutch auction process. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company solicited bids under such process from all holders of Co-Issuer Term Loans for the repurchase of up to $50.0 million principal amount at prices acceptable to the Company. The auction process resulted in the repurchase of $50.0 million principal amount at a weighted average price of 103.91%, or $52.0 million.

Additionally, the indenture which governs the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes requires that, within 30 business days following a repurchase of the Co-Issuer Term Loans such as that undertaken through the auction process described above, the Company must also offer to repurchase an equivalent principal amount of the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes at the equivalent purchase price. As such, the required offer for $50.0 million aggregate principal amount was made by the Company on May 26, 2022 and subsequently increased to $93.9 million, at the Company’s discretion, subsequent to June 30, 2022. Prior to expiration of the offer, an excess aggregate principal amount of 2024 Co-Issuer Notes had been validly tendered, but the terms of the offer limited the repurchase to $93.9 million. The Company completed the repurchase on July 25, 2022 for $97.5 million.

The credit agreement which governs the Co-Issuer Term Loans requires parity between the holders of Co-Issuer Term Loans and holders of the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes with respect to repurchase offers. Accordingly, the discretionary increase to the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes repurchase offer compelled the Company to offer to repurchase an additional $43.9 million of aggregate principal amount of Co-Issuer Term Loans at 103.91% subsequent to June 30, 2022. The offer will expire on August 22, 2022.

Prior to June 30, 2022, the Company reached agreements to repurchase $22.6 million aggregate principal amount of its Senior Secured Term Loan for $21.3 million in open market transactions. The repurchases settled subsequent to June 30, 2022. As a result of these repurchases, the Company will offer to repurchase $5.7 million of priority lien obligations under the Company LC Agreement at approximately 94% during the three months ending December 31, 2022.

Retirement of 2022 Notes

On March 31, 2022, the Company retired the remaining principal balance of 2022 Notes upon maturity for $23.1 million.

3.250% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028

On March 1, 2022, through a private offering, the Company issued $320.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.250% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the 2028 Convertible Notes). The 2028 Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are governed under an indenture.

The Company used the proceeds of the offering of the 2028 Convertible Notes to redeem the remaining $62.6 million of its outstanding 2024 Peabody Notes and, together with available cash, approximately $257.4 million of its outstanding 2025 Notes, and to pay related premiums, fees and expenses relating to the offering of the 2028 Convertible Notes and the redemptions. The Company capitalized $11.2 million of debt issuance costs related to the offering and recognized a loss on early debt extinguishment of $23.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

The 2028 Convertible Notes will mature on March 1, 2028, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms. The 2028 Convertible Notes will bear interest from March 1, 2022 at a rate of 3.250% per year payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2022.

48

The 2028 Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders only in the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ended on June 30, 2022, if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (2) during the five consecutive business days immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (such five consecutive trading day period, the Measurement Period) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes for each trading day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day; (3) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on the Company’s common stock; (4) if the Company calls any 2028 Convertible Notes for redemption; and (5) at any time from, and including, September 1, 2027 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date.

Upon conversion, the Company may satisfy its conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s election, in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions provided in the indenture. The initial conversion rate for the 2028 Convertible Notes will be 50.3816 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $19.85 per share of the Company’s common stock. The initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately 32.5% to the $14.98 per share closing price of the Company’s common stock on February 24, 2022. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the indenture. If certain corporate events described in the indenture occur prior to the maturity date, or the Company delivers a notice of redemption (as described below), the conversion rate will be increased for a holder who elects to convert its 2028 Convertible Notes in connection with such corporate event or notice of redemption, as the case may be, in certain circumstances.

The Company may not redeem the 2028 Convertible Notes prior to March 1, 2025. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2028 Convertible Notes, at its option, on or after March 1, 2025 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (1) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (2) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. However, the Company may not redeem less than all of the outstanding 2028 Convertible Notes unless at least $75 million aggregate principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes are outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time the Company sends the related redemption notice. No sinking fund is provided for the 2028 Convertible Notes.

If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture), noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their 2028 Convertible Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

Covenant Compliance

The Company was compliant with all relevant covenants under its debt agreements at June 30, 2022, including the minimum aggregate liquidity requirement under the Company LC Agreement which requires the Company’s restricted subsidiaries to maintain minimum aggregate liquidity of $125.0 million at the end of each quarter through December 31, 2024. The Company’s restricted subsidiaries’ relevant liquidity amounted to $930.7 million at June 30, 2022.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Program

As described in Note 12. “Financial Instruments and Other Guarantees” of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company entered into an accounts receivable securitization program during 2017. The securitization program was amended in January 2022 to extend its maturity to January 2025 and reduce the available funding capacity from $250.0 million to $175.0 million, which better aligns with the current average borrowing base. Funding capacity is limited to the availability of eligible receivables and is accounted for as a secured borrowing. Funding capacity under the program may also be utilized for letters of credit in support of other obligations. At June 30, 2022, the Company had no outstanding borrowings and $161.5 million of letters of credit outstanding under the program, which were primarily in support of portions of the Company’s reclamation obligations. The Company was not required to post cash collateral under the securitization program at June 30, 2022.

Cash Flows and Free Cash Flow

The following table summarizes the Company’s cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, as reported in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Free Cash Flow is a financial measure not recognized in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Refer to the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section above for definitions and reconciliations to the most comparable measures under U.S. GAAP.

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021
	(Dollars in millions)
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	9.4	$	(22.8)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	94.5		(82.6)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	75.1		(41.9)
Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	179.0		(147.3)
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at beginning of period	954.3		709.2
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of period	$	1,133.3	$	561.9
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	9.4	$	(22.8)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	94.5		(82.6)
Free Cash Flow	$	103.9	$	(105.4)

Operating Activities. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year was driven by a year-over-year increase in operating cash flow, primarily from Company’s mining operations ($446.3 million), partially offset by cash utilized to satisfy the margin requirements associated with derivative financial instruments ($414.1 million).

Investing Activities. The increase in net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year was driven by higher cash receipts from Middlemount ($140.9 million) and lower capital expenditures and payments of capital accruals ($25.2 million).

Financing Activities. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year was driven by higher cash proceeds from long-term debt and common stock issuances ($545.0 million and $156.9 million, respectively), partially offset by higher repayments of debt principal ($571.7 million) and higher distributions to non-controlling interests ($13.7 million).

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to various guarantees and financial instruments that carry off-balance-sheet risk and are not reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2022, such instruments included $1,453.5 million of surety bonds and $475.1 million of letters of credit. Such financial instruments provide support for its reclamation bonding requirements, lease obligations, insurance policies and various other performance guarantees. The Company periodically evaluates the instruments for on-balance-sheet treatment based on the amount of exposure under the instrument and the likelihood of required performance. The Company does not expect any material losses to result from these guarantees or off-balance-sheet instruments in excess of liabilities provided for in its condensed consolidated balance sheets.

50

As of June 30, 2022, the Company was party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in support of the following obligations:

	Reclamation		Health and welfare (1)		Contract performance (2)		Leased property and equipment		Other (3)		Total
	(Dollars in millions)
Surety bonds and bank guarantees	$	1,276.9	$	40.5	$	84.2	$	35.0	$	16.9	$	1,453.5
Letters of credit outstanding under letter of credit facilities	212.5		89.3		6.8		5.0		—		313.6
Letters of credit outstanding under accounts receivable securitization program	133.9		17.6		10.0		—		—		161.5
	1,623.3		147.4		101.0		40.0		16.9		1,928.6

Obligations supported, net	$	1,268.8	$	117.1	$	98.7	$	38.8	$	16.9	$	1,540.3

(1)    Obligations include pension and health care plans, workers’ compensation, and property and casualty insurance

(2)    Obligations pertain to customer and vendor contracts

(3)    Obligations primarily pertain to the disturbance or alteration of public roadways in connection with the Company’s mining activities that is subject to future restoration

(4)    Serve as collateral for certain surety bonds at the request of surety bond providers. The Company has also posted $9.1 million in incremental cash collateral directly with the beneficiary that is not supported by a surety bond.

Financial assurances associated with new reclamation bonding requirements, surety bonds or other obligations may require additional collateral in the form of cash or letters of credit causing a decline in the Company’s liquidity.

As described in Note 12. “Financial Instruments and Other Guarantees” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to provide various forms of financial assurance in support of its mining reclamation obligations in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Such requirements are typically established by statute or under mining permits. Historically, such assurances have taken the form of third-party instruments such as surety bonds, bank guarantees and letters of credit, as well as self-bonding arrangements in the U.S. Self-bonding in the U.S. has become increasingly restricted in recent years, leading to the Company’s increased usage of surety bonds and similar third-party instruments. This change in practice has had an unfavorable impact on its liquidity due to increased collateral requirements and surety and related fees.

At June 30, 2022, the Company had total asset retirement obligations of $725.1 million which were backed by a combination of surety bonds, bank guarantees and letters of credit.

Bonding requirement amounts may differ significantly from the related asset retirement obligation because such requirements are calculated under the assumption that reclamation begins currently, whereas the Company’s accounting liabilities are discounted from the end of a mine’s economic life (when final reclamation work would begin) to the balance sheet date.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources is based upon its financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company is also required under U.S. GAAP to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

51

The Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company’s critical accounting policies remain unchanged at June 30, 2022, and there have been no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting estimates.

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented

See Note 2. “Newly Adopted Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented” to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of newly adopted accounting standards and accounting standards not yet implemented.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Coal Pricing Risk

As of June 30, 2022, the Company held coal derivative contracts related to a portion of its forecasted sales with an aggregate notional volume of 1.0 million tonnes. Such financial contracts may include futures, forwards and options. Included in this total are 0.9 million tonnes related to financial derivatives entered to support the profitability of the Wambo Underground Mine as part of a strategy to extend the mine life through mid-2023. Of this total, 0.4 million tonnes will settle in 2022 and 0.5 million tonnes will settle in 2023 at expected average pricing of approximately $84 per tonne (Newcastle index). The Newcastle thermal coal index was $390.68 per tonne on June 30, 2022, and the Company had posted $398 million of variation margin for the related derivative contracts at such date. A change in the Newcastle forward curve of $100 per tonne would increase or decrease the Company’s variation margin requirement by approximately $92 million and result in comparable unrealized gains or losses.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company has historically utilized currency forwards and options to hedge currency risk associated with anticipated Australian dollar expenditures. The accounting for these derivatives is discussed in Note 6. “Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements” to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had currency options outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of $758.0 million Australian dollars to hedge currency risk associated with anticipated Australian dollar expenditures over the nine-month period ending March 31, 2023. Assuming the Company had no foreign currency hedging instruments in place, its exposure in operating costs and expenses due to a $0.10 change in the Australian dollar/U.S. dollar exchange rate is approximately $196 million for the next twelve months. Based upon the Australian dollar/U.S. dollar exchange rate at June 30, 2022, the currency option contracts outstanding at that date would limit the Company’s net exposure to a $0.10 unfavorable change in the exchange rate to approximately $180 million for the next twelve months.

Diesel Fuel Price Risk

Previously, the Company managed price risk of the diesel fuel used in its mining activities through the use of derivatives, primarily swaps. As of June 30, 2022, the Company did not have any diesel fuel derivative instruments in place. The Company also manages the price risk of diesel fuel through the use of cost pass-through contacts with certain customers.

The Company expects to consume 95 to 105 million gallons of diesel fuel during the next twelve months. A $10 per barrel change in the price of crude oil (the primary component of a refined diesel fuel product) would increase or decrease its annual diesel fuel costs by approximately $23 million based on its expected usage.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to, among other things, provide reasonable assurance that material information, both financial and non-financial, and other information required under the securities laws to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to senior management, including its principal executive and financial officers, on a timely basis. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 30, 2022, and concluded that such controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the desired control objectives were achieved. Additionally, there have been no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

52

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The Company is subject to various legal and regulatory proceedings. For a description of its significant legal proceedings refer to Note 13. “Commitments and Contingencies” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report, which information is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The Company operates in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks. For information regarding factors that could affect the Company's results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, see the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 18, 2022. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, including the information presented in Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” you should carefully consider the risk factors disclosed in the aforementioned filing, which could materially affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

Factors that could affect the Company’s results or an investment in the Company’s securities include, but are not limited to:

•the Company’s profitability depends upon the prices it receives for its coal;

•if a substantial number of the Company’s long-term coal supply agreements, including those with its largest customers, terminate, or if the pricing, volumes or other elements of those agreements materially adjust, its revenue and operating profits could suffer if the Company is unable to find alternate buyers willing to purchase its coal on comparable terms to those in its contracts;

•risks inherent to mining could increase the cost of operating the Company’s business, and events and conditions that could occur during the course of its mining operations could have a material adverse impact on the Company;

•the Company’s take-or-pay arrangements could unfavorably affect its profitability;

•the Company may not recover its investments in its mining, exploration and other assets, which may require the Company to recognize impairment charges related to those assets;

•the Company could be negatively affected if it fails to maintain satisfactory labor relations;

•the Company could be adversely affected if it fails to appropriately provide financial assurances for its obligations;

•the Company’s mining operations are extensively regulated, which imposes significant costs on it, and future regulations and developments could increase those costs or limit its ability to produce coal;

•the Company’s operations may impact the environment or cause exposure to hazardous substances, and its properties may have environmental contamination, which could result in material liabilities to the Company;

•the Company may be unable to obtain, renew or maintain permits necessary for its operations, or the Company may be unable to obtain, renew or maintain such permits without conditions on the manner in which it runs its operations, which would reduce its production, cash flows and profitability;

•concerns about the impacts of coal combustion on global climate are increasingly leading to conditions that have affected and could continue to affect demand for the Company’s products or its securities and its ability to produce, including increased governmental regulation of coal combustion and unfavorable investment decisions by electricity generators;

•numerous activist groups are devoting substantial resources to anti-coal activities to minimize or eliminate the use of coal as a source of electricity generation, domestically and internationally, thereby further reducing the demand and pricing for coal, and potentially materially and adversely impacting the Company’s future financial results, liquidity and growth prospects;

•the Company’s trading and hedging activities do not cover certain risks and may expose it to earnings volatility and other risks;

•if the assumptions underlying the Company’s asset retirement obligations for reclamation and mine closures are materially inaccurate, its costs could be significantly greater than anticipated;

•the Company’s future success depends upon its ability to continue acquiring and developing coal reserves and resources that are economically recoverable;

53

•the Company faces numerous uncertainties in estimating its coal reserves and resources and inaccuracies in its estimates could result in lower than expected revenue, higher than expected costs and decreased profitability;

•joint ventures, partnerships or non-managed operations may not be successful and may not comply with the Company’s operating standards;

•the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects could be materially and adversely affected by pandemic or other widespread illnesses and the related effects on public health;

•the Company’s expenditures for postretirement benefit obligations could be materially higher than it has predicted if its underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect;

•the Company is subject to various general operating risks which may be fully or partially outside of its control;

•the Company’s financial performance could be adversely affected by its funded indebtedness (Indebtedness);

•despite the Company’s Indebtedness, it may still be able to incur more debt, which could further increase the risks associated with its Indebtedness;

•the terms of the indentures governing the Company’s senior secured notes and the agreements and instruments governing its other Indebtedness and surety bonding obligations impose restrictions that may limit its operating and financial flexibility;

•the number and quantity of viable financing and insurance alternatives available to the Company may be significantly impacted by unfavorable lending and investment policies by financial institutions and insurance companies associated with concerns about environmental impacts of coal combustion, and negative views around its efforts with respect to environmental and social matters and related governance considerations could harm the perception of the Company by a significant number of investors or result in the exclusion of its securities from consideration by those investors;

•the price of Peabody’s securities may be volatile and could fall below the minimum allowed by New York Stock Exchange listing requirements;

•Peabody’s common stock is subject to dilution and may be subject to further dilution in the future;

•there may be circumstances in which the interests of a significant stockholder could be in conflict with other stakeholders’ interests;

•the future payment of dividends on Peabody’s stock or future repurchases of its stock is dependent on a number of factors and cannot be assured;

•the Company may not be able to fully utilize its deferred tax assets;

•acquisitions and divestitures are a potentially important part of the Company’s long-term strategy, subject to its investment criteria, and involve a number of risks, any of which could cause the Company not to realize the anticipated benefits;

•Peabody’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws include provisions that may discourage a takeover attempt;

•diversity in interpretation and application of accounting literature in the mining industry may impact the Company’s reported financial results; and

•other risks and factors detailed in this report, including, but not limited to, those discussed in “Legal Proceedings,” set forth in Part II, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Dividends

The Company suspended dividends in 2020. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company entered into a transaction support agreement with its surety bond providers which prohibits the payment of dividends through the earlier of December 31, 2025, or the maturity of the Credit Agreement (currently March 31, 2025) unless otherwise agreed to by the parties to the agreement. Additionally, restrictive covenants in its credit facility and in the indentures governing its senior secured notes also limit the Company’s ability to pay cash dividends.

Share Relinquishments

The Company routinely allows employees to relinquish common stock to pay estimated taxes upon the vesting of restricted stock units and the payout of performance units that are settled in common stock under its equity incentive plans. The value of common stock tendered by employees is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the dates of the respective relinquishments.

54

Share Repurchase Program

On August 1, 2017, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to allow repurchases of up to $500 million of the then outstanding shares of its common stock and/or preferred stock (Repurchase Program), which was eventually expanded to $1.5 billion during 2018. The Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date and may be discontinued at any time. Through June 30, 2022, the Company has repurchased 41.5 million shares of its common stock for $1,340.3 million, which included commissions paid of $0.8 million, leaving $160.5 million available for share repurchase under the Repurchase Program.

The Company suspended share repurchases in 2019, and similar to the payment of dividends as described above, the same agreement with its surety bond providers prohibits share repurchases through the earlier of December 31, 2025, or the maturity of the Credit Agreement (currently March 31, 2025) unless otherwise agreed to by the parties to the agreement. Additionally, restrictive covenants in its credit facility and in the indentures governing its senior secured notes also limit the Company’s ability to repurchase shares. Prior to the suspension, repurchases were made at the Company’s discretion. The specific timing, price and size of purchases depended upon the share price, general market and economic conditions and other considerations, including compliance with various debt agreements in effect at the time the repurchases were made.

Issuances of Equity Securities

In June 2021, the Company announced an at-the-market equity offering program pursuant to which the Company could offer and sell up to 12.5 million shares of its common stock. The at-the-market equity offering program was further expanded to 32.5 million shares during 2021. The shares are offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 23, 2021, as supplemented by prospectus supplements dated June 4, 2021, September 17, 2021, and December 17, 2021 relating to the offer and sale of the shares. Through June 30, 2022, the Company has sold approximately 24.8 million shares for net cash proceeds of $269.8 million. No sales were made under this at-the-market equity offering program during the six months ended June 30, 2022, leaving approximately 7.7 million shares available for sale.

On March 7, 2022, the Company entered into an at-the-market equity offering program pursuant to which the Company could offer and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up of $225 million. The shares are offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 23, 2021, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated March 7, 2022 relating to the offer and sale of the shares. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company sold approximately 10.1 million shares for net proceeds of $222.0 million, thereby concluding this at-the-market equity offering program.

During 2021, the Company completed multiple bilateral transactions with holders of the 2022 Notes, the 2025 Notes and the 2024 Peabody Notes in which the Company issued an aggregate 10.0 million shares of its common stock in exchange for $37.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes, $47.2 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes and $21.6 million aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Peabody Notes. No such bilateral transactions were completed during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The issuance of shares of common stock in exchange for the 2022 Notes, the 2025 Notes and the 2024 Peabody Notes was made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Section 3(a)(9) under the Securities Act of 1933, based in part on representations of holders of the 2022 Notes, the 2025 Notes and the 2024 Peabody Notes, and on the basis that the exchange was completed with existing holders of the Company's securities and no commission or other remuneration was paid or given for soliciting the exchange.

Exhibit 95

Mine Safety Disclosures

The following disclosures are provided pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations, which require certain disclosures by companies required to file periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that operate coal mines regulated under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the Mine Act). The disclosures reflect United States (U.S.) mining operations only, as these requirements do not apply to our mines operated outside the U.S. 

Mine Safety Information. Whenever the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) believes that a violation of the Mine Act, any health or safety standard, or any regulation has occurred, it may issue a violation which describes the associated condition or practice and designates a timeframe within which the operator must abate the violation. In some situations, such as when MSHA believes that conditions pose a hazard to miners, MSHA may issue an order removing miners from the area of the mine affected by the condition until hazards are corrected. Whenever MSHA issues a citation or order, it generally proposes a civil penalty, or fine, as a result of the violation that the operator is ordered to pay. Citations and orders can be contested and appealed and, as part of that process, are often reduced in severity and amount, and are sometimes vacated. The number of citations, orders and proposed assessments vary depending on the size and type (underground or surface) of the company and mine. Since MSHA is a branch of the U.S. Department of Labor, its jurisdiction applies only to our U.S. mines. As such, the mine safety disclosures that follow contain no information for our Australian mines.

The tables that follow reflect citations and orders issued to us by MSHA during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as reflected in our systems. The tables include only those mines that were issued orders or citations during the periods presented and, commensurate with SEC regulations, do not reflect orders or citations issued to independent contractors working at our mines. Due to timing and other factors, our data may not agree with the mine data retrieval system maintained by MSHA. The proposed assessments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were taken from the MSHA system as of July 29, 2022.

Additional information about MSHA references used in the tables is as follows:

•Section 104 S&S Violations: The total number of violations received from MSHA under section 104(a) of the Mine Act that could significantly and substantially contribute to a serious injury if left unabated.

•Section 104(b) Orders: The total number of orders issued by MSHA under section 104(b) of the Mine Act, which represents a failure to abate a citation under section 104(a) within the period of time prescribed by MSHA. This results in an order of immediate withdrawal from the area of the mine affected by the condition until MSHA determines that the violation has been abated.

•Section 104(d) Citations and Orders: The total number of citations and orders issued by MSHA under section 104(d) of the Mine Act for unwarrantable failure to comply with mandatory health or safety standards.

•Section 104(e) Notices: The total number of notices issued by MSHA under section 104(e) of the Mine Act for a pattern of violations that could contribute to mine health or safety hazards.

•Section 110(b)(2) Violations: The total number of flagrant violations issued by MSHA under section 110(b)(2) of the Mine Act.

•Section 107(a) Orders: The total number of orders issued by MSHA under section 107(a) of the Mine Act for situations in which MSHA determined an imminent danger existed.

•Proposed MSHA Assessments: The total dollar value of proposed assessments from MSHA.

•Fatalities: The total number of mining-related fatalities.

Pending Legal Actions. The Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission (the Commission) is an independent adjudicative agency that provides administrative trial and appellate review of legal disputes arising under the Mine Act. These cases may involve, among other questions, challenges by operators to citations, orders and penalties they have received from MSHA, or complaints of discrimination by miners under section 105 of the Mine Act. The following is a brief description of the types of legal actions that may be brought before the Commission.

•Contests of Citations and Orders: A contest proceeding may be filed with the Commission by operators, miners or miners’ representatives to challenge the issuance of a citation or order issued by MSHA, including citations related to disputed provisions of operators' emergency response plans.

•Contests of Proposed Penalties (Petitions for Assessment of Penalties):A contest of a proposed penalty is an administrative proceeding before the Commission challenging a civil penalty that MSHA has proposed for the violation. Such proceedings may also involve appeals of judges' decisions or orders to the Commission on proposed penalties, including petitions for discretionary review and review by the Commission on its own motion.

•Complaints for Compensation:A complaint for compensation may be filed with the Commission by miners entitled to compensation when a mine is closed by certain withdrawal orders issued by MSHA. The purpose of the proceeding is to determine the amount of compensation, if any, due miners idled by the orders.

•Complaints of Discharge, Discrimination or Interference:A discrimination proceeding is a case that involves a miner’s allegation that he or she has suffered a wrong by the operator because he or she engaged in some type of activity protected under the Mine Act, such as making a safety complaint. This category includes temporary reinstatement proceedings, which involve cases in which a miner has filed a complaint with MSHA stating he or she has suffered discrimination and the miner has lost his or her position.

•Applications for Temporary Relief: An application for temporary relief from any modification or termination of any order or from any order issued under certain subparts of section 104 of the Mine Act may be filed with the Commission at any time before such order becomes final.

The table that follows presents information by mine regarding pending legal actions before the Commission at June 30, 2022. Each legal action is assigned a docket number by the Commission and may have as its subject matter one or more citations, orders, penalties or complaints.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Peabody Energy Corporation (PEC) and its consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates (along with PEC, the Company or Peabody). Interests in subsidiaries controlled by the Company are consolidated with any outside stockholder interests reflected as noncontrolling interests, except when the Company has an undivided interest in a joint venture. In those cases, the Company includes its proportionate share in the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the jointly controlled entities within each applicable line item of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. All intercompany transactions, profits and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. Balance sheet information presented herein as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheet at that date. The Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2022.

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented [Abstract]

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

Convertible Debt. In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-06, which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. Among other changes, ASU 2020-06 removes from U.S. GAAP the liability and equity separation model for convertible instruments with a cash conversion feature, and as a result, after adoption, entities will no longer separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature for such debt. Similarly, the embedded conversion feature will no longer be amortized into income as interest expense over the life of the instrument. Instead, entities will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt unless (1) a convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging or (2) a convertible debt instrument was issued at a substantial premium. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method to calculate the impact of convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and can be adopted on either a fully retrospective or modified retrospective basis. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06, effective January 1, 2022. In the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, the adoption of the new standard impacted the accounting for the Company’s $320.0 million of convertible debt issued in March 2022, as further described in Note 9. “Long-term Debt.” In particular, because the related senior notes have cash conversion features, bifurcation of the principal balance between debt and equity is no longer applicable. Additionally, this guidance requires the application of the “if-converted” method to calculate the impact of convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share, as reflected in the Company’s calculations within Note 11. “Earnings per Share (EPS).”

Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented

Reference Rate Reform. In March 2020, ASU 2020-04 was issued, which provides temporary optional expedients to applying the reference rate reform guidance to contracts that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. Under this update, contract modifications resulting in a new reference rate may be accounted for as a continuation of the existing contract. This guidance is effective upon issuance of the update and applies to contract modifications made through December 31, 2022. The Company has certain debt which utilizes a U.S. Dollar one-month LIBOR rate, which is expected to be published until June 2023. The LIBOR rate is likely to be replaced by a similar secured or unsecured overnight financing rate. The Company cannot estimate the impact of such variable rates on its consolidated financial statements.

Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements

Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements

Derivatives

From time to time, the Company may utilize various types of derivative instruments to manage its exposure to risks in the normal course of business, including (1) foreign currency exchange rate risk and the variability of cash flows associated with forecasted Australian dollar expenditures made in its Australian mining platform, (2) price risk of fluctuating coal prices related to forecasted sales or purchases of coal, or changes in the fair value of a fixed price physical sales contract, (3) price risk and the variability of cash flows related to forecasted diesel fuel purchased for use in its operations and (4) interest rate risk on long-term debt. These risk management activities are actively monitored for compliance with the Company’s risk management policies.

On a limited basis, the Company engages in the direct and brokered trading of coal and freight-related contracts. Except those contracts for which the Company has elected to apply a normal purchases and normal sales exception, all derivative coal trading contracts are accounted for at fair value. The Company had no diesel fuel or interest rate derivatives in place as of June 30, 2022.

Foreign Currency Option Contracts

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had currency options outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of $758.0 million Australian dollars to hedge currency risk associated with anticipated Australian dollar expenditures over the nine-month period ending March 31, 2023. The instruments are quarterly average rate options which entitle the Company to receive payment on the notional amount should the quarterly average Australian dollar-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate exceed amounts ranging from $0.74 to $0.80 over the nine-month period ending March 31, 2023.

Derivative Contracts Related to Forecasted Sales

As of June 30, 2022, the Company held coal derivative contracts related to a portion of its forecasted sales with an aggregate notional volume of 1.0 million tonnes. Such financial contracts may include futures, forwards and options. Included in this total are 0.9 million tonnes related to financial derivatives entered to support the profitability of the Wambo Underground Mine as part of a strategy to extend the mine life through mid-2023. Of this total, 0.4 million tonnes will settle in 2022 and 0.5 million tonnes will settle in 2023 at expected average pricing of approximately $84 per tonne (Newcastle index). The remaining 0.1 million tonnes aggregate notional volume related to other coal financial contracts will settle in 2022. Additionally, the Company classifies certain physical forward sales contracts as derivatives for which the normal purchase, normal sales exception does not apply.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a net unrealized mark-to-market loss of $24.5 million on these coal derivative contracts, which includes approximately $40 million of unrealized mark-to-market losses on financial derivatives and approximately $15 million of unrealized mark-to-market gains on physical forward sales contracts. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a net unrealized mark-to-market loss of $325.5 million on these coal derivative contracts, which includes approximately $306 million of unrealized mark-to-market losses on financial derivatives and approximately $20 million of unrealized mark-to-market losses on physical forward sales contracts.

Financial Trading Contracts

On a limited basis, the Company may enter coal or freight derivative contracts for trading purposes. Such financial contracts may include futures, forwards and options. The Company held nominal financial trading contracts as of June 30, 2022.

Tabular Derivatives Disclosures

The Company has master netting agreements with certain of its counterparties which allow for the settlement of contracts in an asset position with contracts in a liability position in the event of default or termination. Such netting arrangements reduce the Company’s credit exposure related to these counterparties. For classification purposes, the Company records the net fair value of all the positions with a given counterparty as a net asset or liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of derivatives reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets are set forth in the table below.

	June 30, 2022				December 31, 2021
	Asset Derivative		Liability Derivative		Asset Derivative		Liability Derivative
	(Dollars in millions)
Foreign currency option contracts	$	1.6	$	—	$	1.4	$	—

Net derivatives and variation margin as classified in the balance sheets	$	1.6	$	(49.2)	$	1.4	$	(29.5)

The Company generally posts or receives variation margin cash with its clearing broker on the majority of its financial derivatives as market values of the financial derivatives fluctuate. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had posted $544.2 million aggregate margin cash, consisting of $427.4 million variation margin cash and $116.8 million initial margin. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had posted $130.1 million aggregate margin cash, consisting of $91.8 million variation margin cash and $38.3 million initial margin.

The net amount of asset derivatives, net of variation margin, is included in “Other current assets” and the net amount of liability derivatives, net of variation margin, is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amounts of initial margin are not included with the derivatives presented in the tabular disclosures above and are included in “Other current assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Currently, the Company does not seek cash flow hedge accounting treatment for its derivative financial instruments and thus changes in fair value are reflected in current earnings. The tables below show the amounts of pre-tax gains and losses related to the Company’s derivatives and their classification within the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(1)    ‘Results realized in income on derivatives’ has been revised to exclude revenue from the physical sale of coal by the Company’s trading and brokerage function of $23.2 million and $41.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, to be comparable to the presentation of the 2022 amounts.

The Company classifies the cash effects of its derivatives within the “Cash Flows From Operating Activities” section of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on the observability of the inputs utilized in the valuation. These levels include: Level 1 - inputs are quoted prices in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 - inputs are other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable through market-corroborated inputs; and Level 3 - inputs are unobservable, or observable but cannot be market-corroborated, requiring the Company to make assumptions about pricing by market participants.

The following tables set forth the hierarchy of the Company’s net (liability) asset positions for which fair value is measured on a recurring basis. Variation margin cash associated with the derivative balances is excluded from this table.

	June 30, 2022
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

Foreign currency option contracts	$	—	$	1.6	$	—	$	1.6

Derivative contracts related to forecasted sales	—		(124.7)		—		(124.7)
Financial trading contracts	—		3.4		—		3.4
Equity securities	—		—		4.0		4.0
Total net (liabilities) assets	$	—	$	(119.9)	$	4.0	$	(115.9)

For Level 1 and 2 financial assets and liabilities, the Company utilizes both direct and indirect observable price quotes, including interest rate yield curves, exchange indices, broker/dealer quotes, published indices, issuer spreads, benchmark securities and other market quotes. In the case of certain debt securities, fair value is provided by a third-party pricing service. Below is a summary of the Company’s valuation techniques for Level 1 and 2 financial assets and liabilities:

•Foreign currency option contracts are valued utilizing inputs obtained in quoted public markets (Level 2) except when credit and non-performance risk is considered to be a significant input, then the Company classifies such contracts as Level 3.

•Derivative contracts related to forecasted sales and financial trading contracts are generally valued based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) or a valuation that is corroborated by the use of market-based pricing (Level 2) except when credit and non-performance risk is considered to be a significant input (greater than 10% of fair value), then the Company classifies as Level 3.

•Investments in equity securities are based on observed prices in an inactive market (Level 3).

Other Financial Instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values for other financial instruments as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

•Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, including those within the Company’s accounts receivable securitization program, margining cash, notes receivable and accounts payable have carrying values which approximate fair value due to the short maturity or the liquid nature of these instruments.

•Long-term debt fair value estimates are based on observed prices for securities when available (Level 2), and otherwise on estimated borrowing rates to discount the cash flows to their present value (Level 3).

Market risk associated with the Company’s fixed- and variable-rate long-term debt relates to the potential reduction in the fair value and negative impact to future earnings, respectively, from an increase in interest rates. The fair value of debt, shown below, is principally based on reported market values and estimates based on interest rates, maturities, credit risk, underlying collateral and completed market transactions.

	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
	(Dollars in millions)
Total debt at par value	$	1,075.4	$	1,173.2
Less: Unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount	(28.5)		(35.4)
Net carrying amount	$	1,046.9	$	1,137.8
Estimated fair value	$	1,189.9	$	1,136.5

Generally, the Company’s Level 3 instruments or contracts are valued using bid/ask price quotations and other market assessments obtained from multiple, independent third-party brokers or other transactional data incorporated into internally-generated discounted cash flow models. Decreases in the number of third-party brokers or market liquidity could erode the quality of market information and therefore the valuation of the Company’s market positions. The Company’s valuation techniques include basis adjustments to the foregoing price inputs for quality, such as sulfur and ash content, location differentials, expressed as port and freight costs, and credit risk. The Company’s risk management function independently validates the Company’s valuation inputs, including unobservable inputs, with third-party information and settlement prices from other sources where available. A daily process is performed to analyze market price changes and changes to the portfolio. Further periodic validation occurs at the time contracts are settled with the counterparty. These valuation techniques have been consistently applied in all periods presented, and the Company believes it has obtained the most accurate information available for the types of derivative contracts held.

Significant increases or decreases in the inputs in isolation could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The unobservable inputs do not have a direct interrelationship; therefore, a change in one unobservable input would not necessarily correspond with a change in another unobservable input.

The Company had no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The Company’s policy is to value all transfers between levels using the beginning of period valuation.

2021 Financing Activity and Subsequent Repurchases

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company completed a series of financing transactions to provide the Company with maturity extensions and covenant relief, while allowing it to maintain near-term operating liquidity. These transactions included a senior notes exchange, a revolving credit facility exchange, various amendments to the Company’s existing debt agreements, and a support agreement with the Company’s surety bond providers.

Subsequent to these transactions, the Company completed additional financing transactions which included the implementation of an at-the-market equity offering program pursuant to which the Company sold approximately 24.8 million shares of common stock for net cash proceeds of $269.8 million, the retirement of $270.9 million principal amount of existing debt through various open market purchases at an aggregate cost of $232.4 million, and the issuance of an aggregate 10.0 million shares of common stock in exchange for an additional $106.1 million principal amount of existing debt through multiple bilateral transactions with debt holders.

In the event of open market purchases of its debt, the terms of the 2024 Peabody Notes - now redeemed as described below - required, and the letter of credit facility entered into by the Company in connection with the 2021 financing activity (Company LC Agreement) requires the Company to make repurchase offers to those debt and lien holders. In general, the repurchase offers equate to 25% of the principal amount of priority lien debt repurchased in the preceding quarter at a price equal to the weighted average repurchase price paid over that quarter. The open market debt repurchases completed during the three months ended December 31, 2021 necessitated a mandatory repurchase offer of up to $38.6 million of 2024 Peabody Notes, at 94.940% of their aggregate accreted value, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and a concurrent repurchase offer of priority lien obligations under the Company LC Agreement. The offer resulted in the valid tender and purchase of $0.1 million aggregate accreted value of 2024 Peabody Notes and $30.0 million aggregate principal and commitment amounts under the Company LC Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company’s purchase of the principal and commitment amounts under the Company LC Agreement was effected by the posting of $28.5 million of collateral with the administrative agent and did not reduce the availability under the facility.

The 2024 Co-Issuer Notes and the Co-Issuer Term Loans are also subject to mandatory prepayment offers at the end of each six-month period, beginning with June 30, 2021, whereby the Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes indenture) generated by the Wilpinjong Mine during each such period will be applied to the principal of such notes and loans on a pro rata basis, provided that the liquidity attributable to the Wilpinjong Mine would not fall below $60.0 million. Such prepayments may be accepted or declined at the option of the debt holders. Based upon the Wilpinjong Mine’s results for the six-month period ended December 31, 2021, a required offer to prepay $105.6 million of total principal resulted in the prepayment of $17.2 million of Co-Issuer Term Loans principal, $0.3 million of 2024 Co-Issuer Notes principal, and a related loss on early debt extinguishment of $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Based upon the Wilpinjong Mine’s results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Company was required to offer to prepay $65.1 million of total principal subsequent to June 30, 2022. The holders of the Co-Issuer Term Loans unanimously declined their $37.9 million pro rata portion of the offer and the $27.2 million pro rata portion of the offer to the holders of the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes will expire on August 29, 2022.

Voluntary repurchases of Co-Issuer Term Loans are permissible through a modified Dutch auction process. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company solicited bids under such process from all holders of Co-Issuer Term Loans for the repurchase of up to $50.0 million principal amount at prices acceptable to the Company. The auction process resulted in the repurchase of $50.0 million principal amount at a weighted average price of 103.91%, or $52.0 million. The Company recorded a related loss on early debt extinguishment of $3.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Additionally, the indenture which governs the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes requires that, within 30 business days following a repurchase of the Co-Issuer Term Loans such as that undertaken through the auction process described above, the Company must also offer to repurchase an equivalent principal amount of the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes at the equivalent purchase price. As such, the required offer for $50.0 million aggregate principal amount was made by the Company on May 26, 2022 and subsequently increased to $93.9 million, at the Company’s discretion, subsequent to June 30, 2022. Prior to expiration of the offer, an excess aggregate principal amount of 2024 Co-Issuer Notes had been validly tendered, but the terms of the offer limited the repurchase to $93.9 million. Such amount was classified within “Current portion of long-term debt” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2022. The Company completed the repurchase on July 25, 2022 for $97.5 million.

The credit agreement which governs the Co-Issuer Term Loans requires parity between the holders of Co-Issuer Term Loans and holders of the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes with respect to repurchase offers. Accordingly, the discretionary increase to the 2024 Co-Issuer Notes repurchase offer compelled the Company to offer to repurchase an additional $43.9 million of aggregate principal amount of Co-Issuer Term Loans at 103.91% subsequent to June 30, 2022. The offer will expire August 22, 2022. Such amount was classified within “Current portion of long-term debt” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2022.

Prior to June 30, 2022, the Company reached agreements to repurchase $22.6 million aggregate principal amount of its Senior Secured Term Loan for $21.3 million in open market transactions. The repurchases settled subsequent to June 30, 2022, and the aggregate principal amount was classified within “Current portion of long-term debt” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2022. As a result of these repurchases, the Company will offer to repurchase $5.7 million of priority lien obligations under the Company LC Agreement at approximately 94% during the three months ending December 31, 2022.

3.250% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028

On March 1, 2022, through a private offering, the Company issued $320.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.250% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the 2028 Convertible Notes). The 2028 Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are governed under an indenture.

The Company used the proceeds of the offering of the 2028 Convertible Notes to redeem the remaining $62.6 million of its outstanding 2024 Peabody Notes and, together with available cash, approximately $257.4 million of its outstanding 2025 Notes, and to pay related premiums, fees and expenses relating to the offering of the 2028 Convertible Notes and the redemptions. The Company capitalized $11.2 million of debt issuance costs related to the offering and recognized a loss on early debt extinguishment of $23.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

The 2028 Convertible Notes will mature on March 1, 2028, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms. The 2028 Convertible Notes will bear interest from March 1, 2022 at a rate of 3.250% per year payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2022.

The 2028 Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders only in the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2022, if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (2) during the five consecutive business days immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (such five consecutive trading day period, the Measurement Period) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes for each trading day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day; (3) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on the Company’s common stock; (4) if the Company calls any 2028 Convertible Notes for redemption; and (5) at any time from, and including, September 1, 2027 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date.

Upon conversion, the Company may satisfy its conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s election, in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions provided in the indenture. The initial conversion rate for the 2028 Convertible Notes will be 50.3816 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $19.85 per share of the Company’s common stock. The initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately 32.5% to the $14.98 per share closing price of the Company’s common stock on February 24, 2022. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the indenture. If certain corporate events described in the indenture occur prior to the maturity date, or the Company delivers a notice of redemption (as described below), the conversion rate will be increased for a holder who elects to convert its 2028 Convertible Notes in connection with such corporate event or notice of redemption, as the case may be, in certain circumstances.

The Company may not redeem the 2028 Convertible Notes prior to March 1, 2025. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2028 Convertible Notes, at its option, on or after March 1, 2025 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (1) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (2) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. However, the Company may not redeem less than all of the outstanding 2028 Convertible Notes unless at least $75 million aggregate principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes are outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time the Company sends the related redemption notice. No sinking fund is provided for the 2028 Convertible Notes.

If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture), noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their 2028 Convertible Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

Margin Financing Arrangement

On March 7, 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement, by and among the Company, as borrower, Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement provides for a $150 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the Revolving Facility), which will mature on April 1, 2025 and bears interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum on drawn amounts.

The Revolving Facility is intended to support the Company’s near-term liquidity requirements, particularly with respect to the cash margin requirements associated with the Company’s coal derivative contracts, which fluctuate depending upon underlying market coal prices.

Concurrently with the Credit Agreement, the Company entered into an agreement with Goldman Sachs & Company LLC to act as sales agent for at-the-market equity offerings of up to $225.0 million of the Company’s common stock.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company borrowed and repaid $225.0 million under the Revolving Facility using net proceeds of $222.0 million from at-the-market issuances of 10.1 million shares of common stock and available cash. The Company had no outstanding borrowings and no availability under the Revolving Facility at June 30, 2022. The Company issued a notice to terminate the facility on August 1, 2022 with an effective date of August 4, 2022.

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make certain other restricted payments or investments, enter into agreements that restrict distributions from subsidiaries, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, create or incur liens, and merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of their assets.

Borrowings under the Revolving Facility are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by substantially all of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries (excluding any unrestricted subsidiaries).

Retirement of 2022 Notes

On March 31, 2022, the Company retired the remaining principal balance of 2022 Notes upon maturity for $23.1 million.

Pension and Postretirement Benefit Costs

Pension and Postretirement Benefit Costs

The components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs, excluding the service cost for benefits earned, are included in “Net periodic benefit credit, excluding service cost” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Net periodic pension credit included the following components:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
	(Dollars in millions)
Service cost for benefits earned	$	—	$	0.1	$	—	$	0.1

Net periodic pension credit	$	(0.6)	$	(0.5)	$	(1.2)	$	(1.1)

Annual contributions to the qualified plans are made in accordance with minimum funding standards and the Company’s agreement with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. Funding decisions also consider certain funded status thresholds defined by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (generally 80%). As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s qualified plans were expected to be at or above the Pension Protection Act thresholds. The Company is not required to make any contributions to its qualified pension plans in 2022 based on minimum funding requirements and does not expect to make any discretionary contributions in 2022 at this time.

In March 2022, Peabody Investments Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a commitment agreement relating to the Peabody Investments Corp. Retirement Plan (the Plan) with The Prudential Insurance Company of America (Prudential) and Fiduciary Counselors Inc., as independent fiduciary to the Plan. Under the commitment agreement, the Plan purchased a group annuity contract (Group Annuity Contract) from Prudential for approximately $500 million and Prudential will reimburse the Plan for future benefit payments to be made to the Plan’s participants. Under the terms of this transaction, the Plan will continue to administer and pay the retirement benefits of Plan participants but will be reimbursed by Prudential for the payment of all benefits covered by the Group Annuity Contract. The purchase of the Group Annuity Contract was funded directly by the Plan’s assets. There will be no impact on the monthly retirement benefits paid to Plan participants. In addition, there will be no material impact on discretionary contributions for the Plan in 2022 or on the Company’s earnings in 2022 as a result of this transaction. In May 2022, the Board of Directors of Peabody Investments Corp. approved commencing a standard Employee Retirement Income Security Act plan termination with an effective date of plan termination of July 31, 2022. In June 2022, the Plan’s participants were notified of the plan termination.

Net periodic postretirement benefit credit included the following components:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Net periodic postretirement benefit credit	$	(11.7)	$	(8.0)	$	(23.4)	$	(16.1)

In October 2021, the Company announced changes to its postretirement health care benefit plan for certain represented retirees which reduced its accumulated postretirement benefit obligation, as further described in Note 14. “Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefits” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The reduction in liability was recorded with an offsetting balance in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” and is being amortized to earnings.

The Company has established a Voluntary Employees Beneficiary Association (VEBA) trust to pre-fund a portion of benefits for non-represented retirees. The Company does not expect to make any discretionary contributions to the VEBA trust in 2022 and plans to utilize a portion of VEBA assets to make certain benefit payments.

Earnings per Share (EPS)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2022

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings per Share (EPS)

Earnings per Share (EPS)

Basic EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding. As such, the Company includes the 2028 Convertible Notes and share-based compensation awards in its potentially dilutive securities. Generally, dilutive securities are not included in the computation of loss per share when a company reports a net loss from continuing operations as the impact would be anti-dilutive.

For all but performance units, the potentially dilutive impact of the Company’s share-based compensation awards is determined using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, awards are treated as if they had been exercised with any proceeds used to repurchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Any incremental difference between the assumed number of shares issued and purchased is included in the diluted share computation. For performance units, their contingent features result in an assessment for any potentially dilutive common stock by using the end of the reporting period as if it were the end of the contingency period for all units granted.

A conversion of the 2028 Convertible Notes may result in payment in the Company’s common stock. For diluted EPS purposes, the potentially dilutive common stock is assumed to have been converted at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later). In periods where the potentially dilutive common stock is included in the computation of diluted EPS, the numerator will be adjusted to add back tax adjusted interest expense related to the convertible debt.

The computation of diluted EPS excluded aggregate share-based compensation awards of less than 0.1 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and approximately 1.2 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for those periods. Because the potential dilutive impact of such share-based compensation awards is calculated under the treasury stock method, anti-dilution generally occurs when the exercise prices or unrecognized compensation cost per share of such awards are higher than the Company’s average stock price during the applicable period. Anti-dilution also occurs when a company reports a net loss from continuing operations, and the dilutive impact of all share-based compensation awards are excluded accordingly.

The following illustrates the earnings allocation method utilized in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS.

Financial Instruments and Other Guarantees

Financial Instruments And Guarantees [Abstract]

Financial Instruments and Other Guarantees

Financial Instruments and Other Guarantees The Company is a party to various guarantees and financial instruments that carry off-balance-sheet risk and are not reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2022, such instruments included $1,453.5 million of surety bonds and $475.1 million of letters of credit. Such financial instruments provide support for the Company’s reclamation bonding requirements, lease obligations, insurance policies and various other performance guarantees. The Company periodically evaluates the instruments for on-balance sheet treatment based on the amount of exposure under the instrument and the likelihood of required performance. The Company does not expect any material losses to result from these guarantees or off-balance-sheet instruments in excess of liabilities provided for in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Reclamation Bonding

The Company is required to provide various forms of financial assurance in support of its mining reclamation obligations in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Such requirements are typically established by statute or under mining permits.

In November 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with the providers of its surety bond portfolio to resolve previous collateral demands. In accordance with the agreement, the Company initially provided $75.0 million of collateral, in the form of letters of credit. The Company subsequently granted second liens on $200.0 million of certain mining equipment and is further required to post an additional $25.0 million of collateral per year from 2021 through 2024 for the benefit of the surety providers. The collateral postings further increase to the extent the Company generates more than $100.0 million of free cash flow (as defined in the surety agreement) in any twelve-month period or has cumulative asset sales in excess of $10.0 million, as of the last quarter end during the term of the agreement. Based upon the Company’s free cash flow through June 30, 2022, additional collateral of $13.0 million was posted during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $25.7 million was posted subsequent to June 30, 2022, in the form of cash-collateralized letters of credit.

At June 30, 2022, the Company’s asset retirement obligations of $725.1 million were supported by surety bonds of $1,276.9 million, as well as letters of credit issued under the Company’s receivables securitization program and the Company LC Agreement. Letters of credit issued at June 30, 2022 which served as collateral for surety bonds in support of asset retirement obligations amounted to $346.4 million.

Accounts Receivable Securitization

The Company entered into the Sixth Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, as amended, dated as of April 3, 2017 (the Receivables Purchase Agreement) to extend the Company’s receivables securitization facility previously in place and expand that facility to include certain receivables from the Company’s Australian operations. The receivables securitization program (Securitization Program) is subject to customary events of default set forth in the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Receivables Purchase Agreement was amended in January 2022 to extend the Securitization Program to January 2025, reduce the available funding capacity from $250.0 million to $175.0 million, and amend the relevant borrowing rate from a LIBOR-based rate to one based on Bloomberg’s Short-Term Bank Yield Index (BSBY). Such funding is accounted for as a secured borrowing, limited to the availability of eligible receivables, and may be secured by a combination of collateral and the trade receivables underlying the program, from time to time. Funding capacity under the Securitization Program may also be utilized for letters of credit in support of other obligations.

Borrowings under the Securitization Program bear interest at BSBY plus 2.1% per annum and remain outstanding throughout the term of the agreement, subject to the Company maintaining sufficient eligible receivables.

At June 30, 2022, the Company had no outstanding borrowings and $161.5 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Securitization Program. The letters of credit were primarily in support of reclamation obligations. Availability under the Securitization Program, which is adjusted for certain ineligible receivables, was $13.5 million at June 30, 2022. The Company was not required to post cash collateral under the Securitization Program at June 30, 2022.

The Company incurred interest and fees associated with the Securitization Program of $0.9 million and $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $1.8 million and $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which have been recorded as “Interest expense” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Collateralized Letter of Credit Agreement

In February 2022, the Company entered into a new agreement, which provides up to $250.0 million of capacity for irrevocable standby letters of credit, expected to primarily support reclamation bonding requirements. The agreement requires the Company to provide cash collateral at a level of 103% of the aggregate amount of letters of credit outstanding under the arrangement (limited to $5.0 million total excess collateralization.) Outstanding letters of credit bear a fixed fee in the amount of 0.75% per annum. The Company receives a deposit rate of 0.35% per annum on the amount of cash collateral posted in support of letters of credit, with the rate subject to variation over time. The agreement has an initial expiration date of December 31, 2025. At June 30, 2022, collateralized letters of credit of $12.3 million were outstanding under the agreement

Unconditional Purchase Obligations

As of June 30, 2022, purchase commitments for capital expenditures were $42.3 million, all of which is obligated within the next three years, with $35.4 million obligated within the next 12 months.

There were no other material changes to the Company’s commitments from the information provided in Note 23. “Commitments and Contingencies” to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Contingencies

From time to time, the Company or its subsidiaries are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business or related to indemnities or historical operations. The Company believes it has recorded adequate reserves for these liabilities. The Company discusses its significant legal proceedings below, including ongoing proceedings and those that impacted the Company’s results of operations for the periods presented.

Litigation Relating to Continuing Operations

Securities Class Action. On September 28, 2020, the Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and Retirement System brought a lawsuit, styled In Re Peabody Energy Corporation Securities Litigation No. 1:20-cv-08024 (PKC), against the Company and certain of its officers in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the Court) on behalf of a putative class of shareholders (Plaintiffs) who held Company stock between April 3, 2017 and October 28, 2019, for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder (Securities Class Action). Plaintiffs allege that the defendants made false or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose certain adverse facts pertaining to safety practices at the Company’s North Goonyella Mine and the events leading up to a fire at the mine, and that, after a September 28, 2018 fire at the mine, made false or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose certain adverse facts pertaining to the feasibility of the Company’s plan to restart the mine after the fire. On January 12, 2021, the Court appointed the Oregon Public Employees Retirement Fund as lead plaintiff. On January 25, 2021, the Court entered a scheduling order for this matter. Plaintiffs filed their amended complaint on March 19, 2021. The defendants filed a pre-motion letter on April 30, 2021 while the Plaintiffs’ response letter was filed on May 6, 2021. The defendants filed their motion to dismiss on June 7, 2021. The Plaintiffs’ opposition brief to the motion to dismiss was filed on July 22, 2021. The defendants filed their reply to Plaintiffs’ opposition on August 23, 2021, completing briefing at this phase of the litigation. On March 7, 2022, the Court granted in part and denied in part the defendants’ motion to dismiss. As a result of this decision, only Plaintiffs’ allegations relating to the Company’s September 25, 2018 statements remain in the case. On May 13, 2022, the Court entered a Case Management and Scheduling Order.

On August 2, 2022, Peabody and Plaintiffs agreed to settle all claims brought on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s shares between April 3, 2017 and October 28, 2019 in exchange for $4.6 million, to be paid by Peabody’s insurers. The parties further agreed to negotiate in good faith and execute a definitive stipulation of settlement and related documents, which are subject to the Court’s approval. The stipulation of settlement will not contain any admission of liability, wrongdoing, or responsibility by any of the parties and will provide that upon final approval of the settlement, the case will be dismissed with prejudice, with mutual releases by all parties.

Derivative Actions. On December 22, 2020, a plaintiff (Phelps), putatively on behalf of the Company, brought a shareholder derivative lawsuit, styled Phelps v. Samantha Algaze, et al., Case No. 1:20-cv-01747-UNA (D. Del. filed Dec. 22, 2020), in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against certain directors and former officers of the Company, as defendants. The Company was also named as a nominal defendant. The plaintiff did not make a demand on the Company’s board before instituting the lawsuit and alleges such demand would have been futile. In the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that the defendants failed to disclose adverse facts relating to the safety practices at the Company’s North Goonyella Mine, thereby leading to a September 28, 2018 fire, and allegedly failed to disclose adverse facts pertaining to the feasibility of reopening the mine. The derivative complaint alleges (i) contribution against certain current and former officers for securities fraud based on the Securities Class Action, and against all defendants, (ii) breach of fiduciary duties, (iii) waste of corporate assets for causing the Company to incur legal liability and (iv) unjust enrichment.

On February 10, 2021, a second plaintiff (Di Fusco), putatively on behalf of the Company, filed a similar shareholder derivative lawsuit, styled Di Fusco v. Glenn Kellow, et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-00183-UNA (D. Del. filed Feb. 10, 2021), in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against the directors and current and former officers of the Company, as defendants. The Company was named as a nominal defendant. This suit makes claims similar to those made in the Phelps matter, but asserts a claim for alleged misstatements in a proxy statement under Section 14(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. In late March 2021, the parties filed a stipulation agreeing to consolidate and stay both derivative actions for judicial efficiency and cost until the Court rules on the motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action. In light of the March 7, 2022 decision on the motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action, the parties are discussing how to proceed with the derivative actions, which currently remained stayed. The Company also believes that the derivative actions lack merit and intends to vigorously defend against the allegations.

Other

At times, the Company becomes a party to other disputes, including those related to contract miner performance, claims, lawsuits, arbitration proceedings, regulatory investigations and administrative procedures in the ordinary course of business in the U.S., Australia and other countries where the Company does business. Based on current information, the Company believes that such other pending or threatened proceedings are likely to be resolved without a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company reassesses the probability and estimability of contingent losses as new information becomes available.

Claims, Litigation and Settlements Relating to Indemnities or Historical Operations

Patriot-Related Matters. Included in the Company’s discontinued operations are the previously divested legacy operations of Patriot Coal Corporation and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (Patriot). In 2012, Patriot filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the U.S. Code (the Bankruptcy Code). In 2013, the Company entered into a definitive settlement agreement (2013 Agreement) with Patriot and the United Mine Workers of America, on behalf of itself, its represented Patriot employees and its represented Patriot retirees, to resolve all then-disputed issues related to Patriot’s bankruptcy. In May 2015, Patriot again filed voluntary petitions for relief under the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and subsequently initiated a process to sell substantially all of its assets to qualified bidders. On October 9, 2015, Patriot’s bankruptcy court entered an order confirming Patriot’s plan of reorganization, which provided, among other things, for the sale of substantially all of Patriot’s assets to two different buyers.

Patriot had federal and state black lung occupational disease liabilities related to workers employed in periods prior to Patriot’s spin-off from the Company in 2007. Upon spin-off, Patriot indemnified the Company against any claim relating to these liabilities, which amounted to approximately $150 million at that time. The indemnification included any claim made by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) against the Company with respect to these obligations as a potentially liable operator under the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969. The 2013 Agreement included Patriot’s affirmance of indemnities provided in the spin-off agreements, including the indemnity relating to such black lung liabilities; however, Patriot rejected this indemnity in its May 2015 bankruptcy.

By statute, the Company had secondary liability for the black lung liabilities related to Patriot’s workers employed by former subsidiaries of the Company. The Company’s accounting for the black lung liabilities related to Patriot is based on an interpretation of applicable statutes. Management believes that inconsistencies exist among the applicable statutes, regulations promulgated under those statutes and the DOL’s interpretative guidance. The Company has sought clarification from the DOL regarding these inconsistencies. The amount of these liabilities could be reduced in the future. Whether the Company will ultimately be required to fund certain of those obligations in the future as a result of Patriot’s May 2015 bankruptcy remains uncertain. The amount of the liability, which was determined on an actuarial basis based on the best information available to the Company, was $86.6 million and $87.2 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The liability, which is classifed as discontinued operations, is included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet within “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” and “Other noncurrent liabilties.” While the Company has recorded a liability, it intends to review each claim on a case-by-case basis and contest liability estimates as appropriate. The amount of the Company’s recorded liability reflects only Patriot workers employed by former subsidiaries of the Company that are presently retired, disabled or otherwise not actively employed. The Company cannot reliably estimate the potential liabilities for Patriot’s workers employed by former subsidiaries of the Company that are presently active in the workforce because of the potential for such workers to continue to work for another coal operator that is a going concern.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

Segment Information

The Company reports its results of operations primarily through the following reportable segments: Seaborne Thermal Mining, Seaborne Metallurgical Mining, Powder River Basin Mining, Other U.S. Thermal Mining and Corporate and Other. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, defined as its Chief Executive Officer, uses Adjusted EBITDA as the primary metric to measure the segments’ operating performance and allocate resources.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before deducting net interest expense, income taxes, asset retirement obligation expenses and depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is also adjusted for the discrete items that management excluded in analyzing the segments’ operating performance, as displayed in the reconciliation below. Management believes non-GAAP performance measures are used by investors to measure the Company’s operating performance and lenders to measure the Company’s ability to incur and service debt. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to serve as an alternative to U.S. GAAP measures of performance and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies.

Reportable segment results were as follows:

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (Policies)

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Corporate Hedging - Coal Trading

Generally, the Company’s Level 3 instruments or contracts are valued using bid/ask price quotations and other market assessments obtained from multiple, independent third-party brokers or other transactional data incorporated into internally-generated discounted cash flow models. Decreases in the number of third-party brokers or market liquidity could erode the quality of market information and therefore the valuation of the Company’s market positions. The Company’s valuation techniques include basis adjustments to the foregoing price inputs for quality, such as sulfur and ash content, location differentials, expressed as port and freight costs, and credit risk. The Company’s risk management function independently validates the Company’s valuation inputs, including unobservable inputs, with third-party information and settlement prices from other sources where available. A daily process is performed to analyze market price changes and changes to the portfolio. Further periodic validation occurs at the time contracts are settled with the counterparty. These valuation techniques have been consistently applied in all periods presented, and the Company believes it has obtained the most accurate information available for the types of derivative contracts held.Significant increases or decreases in the inputs in isolation could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The unobservable inputs do not have a direct interrelationship; therefore, a change in one unobservable input would not necessarily correspond with a change in another unobservable input.

Fair Value, Assets, Transfers Between Levels

The Company’s policy is to value all transfers between levels using the beginning of period valuation.

Corporate Hedging

From time to time, the Company may utilize various types of derivative instruments to manage its exposure to risks in the normal course of business, including (1) foreign currency exchange rate risk and the variability of cash flows associated with forecasted Australian dollar expenditures made in its Australian mining platform, (2) price risk of fluctuating coal prices related to forecasted sales or purchases of coal, or changes in the fair value of a fixed price physical sales contract, (3) price risk and the variability of cash flows related to forecasted diesel fuel purchased for use in its operations and (4) interest rate risk on long-term debt. These risk management activities are actively monitored for compliance with the Company’s risk management policies.

On a limited basis, the Company engages in the direct and brokered trading of coal and freight-related contracts. Except those contracts for which the Company has elected to apply a normal purchases and normal sales exception, all derivative coal trading contracts are accounted for at fair value. The Company had no diesel fuel or interest rate derivatives in place as of June 30, 2022.
