	Media Release

Peabody Reports Results For Quarter Ended June 30, 2024

Announced $100 Million for Additional Share Repurchases

Achieved First Development Coal at Centurion

ST. LOUIS, August 1, 2024 – Peabody (NYSE: BTU) today reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $199.4 million, or $1.42 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $179.2 million, or $1.15 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. Peabody had Adjusted EBITDA1 of $309.7 million in the second quarter of 2024, which included $80.8 million from an insurance settlement compared to $358.2 million in the prior year quarter.

“Our operations performed safely, while achieving results in-line with expectations across all four segments. With a strong outlook for free cash flow in the second half of 2024, we have committed $100 million for additional share buybacks," said Peabody President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Grech. "Development at Centurion remains on plan, with initial underground development rates exceeding expectations. We reached first development coal in the second quarter and expect to ship to customers beginning in the fourth quarter of 2024.”

Highlights

•Reported second quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $309.7 million

•Achieved first development coal at Centurion; second continuous miner commissioned in July

•Increased Seaborne Thermal revenue and Adjusted EBITDA margin per ton

•Reached $109.5 million insurance settlement at Shoal Creek

•Maintained strong cost discipline at U.S. Thermal operations

•Announced an additional $100 million for share repurchases

•Declared a dividend on common stock of $0.075 per share on August 1, 2024

1Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA margin is equal to segment Adjusted EBITDA (excluding insurance recoveries) divided by segment revenue. Revenue per Ton and Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton are equal to revenue by segment and Adjusted EBITDA by segment (excluding insurance recoveries), respectively, divided by segment tons sold. Costs per Ton is equal to Revenue per Ton less Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton. Management believes Costs per Ton and Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton best reflect controllable costs and operating results at the reporting segment level. We consider all measures reported on a per ton basis, as well as Adjusted EBITDA margin, to be operating/statistical measures. Please refer to the tables and related notes herein for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures.

Centurion Update

Our world class hard coking coal growth project in Australia continues to advance on time and on budget. We produced the first development coal in the second quarter and commissioned the second continuous miner in July. We expect to ship first coal in the fourth quarter of 2024 and remain on track to commence longwall production in the first quarter of 2026. Approximately $200 million of the $489 million of capital expenditures to reach longwall production has been completed as of June 30, 2024.

Centurion is expected to have a mine life in excess of 25 years and average annual longwall production of 4.7 million tons. The benchmark premium hard coking coal from Centurion is expected to receive a premium price relative to other metallurgical coals.

Shareholder Return Program

Since restarting our shareholder return program, the company has returned $480.1 million to shareholders through share repurchases of $430.4 million, or 13.4% of shares outstanding, and cumulative quarterly cash dividends of $49.7 million. At June 30, Peabody had $569.6 million remaining under its existing $1.0 billion share repurchase program.

On August 1, 2024, we committed an additional $100 million for share repurchases in 2024 following the continued successful advancement at Centurion, settlement of the Shoal Creek insurance claim and a favorable free cash flow outlook for the remainder of the year.

The company declared a $0.075 per share dividend on August 1, 2024.

2024 Outlook

Seaborne Thermal

•Full year volume has been increased by 500 thousand tons to 15.7-16.2 million tons due to anticipated additional high ash coal production at Wilpinjong.

•Third quarter volume is expected to be 4.0 million tons, including 2.5 million export tons. 600 thousand export tons are priced at $120.45 per ton, and 1.0 million tons of Newcastle product and 0.9 million tons of high ash product are unpriced. Costs are anticipated to be $48-$53 per ton.

Seaborne Metallurgical

•Full year volume has been lowered by 600 thousand tons to 7.2-7.6 million tons primarily because of anticipated challenging geological conditions at the CMJV. As a result, full year costs are now expected to be $118-$128 per ton.

•Third quarter volume is anticipated to be 1.7 million tons and is expected to achieve 70 to 80 percent of the premium hard coking coal price index. Costs are anticipated to be $120-$130 per ton.

U.S. Thermal

•Full year PRB volume has been lowered 5 million tons to 75-82 million tons.

•Third quarter PRB volume is expected to be 21.5 millions tons at an average price of $13.75 per ton and costs of approximately $11.50-$12.50 per ton.

•Third quarter Other U.S. Thermal volume is expected to be 4.0 million tons at an average price of $54.10 per ton and costs of approximately $44-$48 per ton.
