In 2019, the Company sold approximately 4.2 million tons of coke under long-term, take-or-pay contracts to its three primary customers in the U.S.: AK Steel Corporation ("AK Steel"), ArcelorMittal USA LLC and/or its affiliates (“AM USA”) and United States Steel Corporation ("U.S. Steel"). In addition, licensing and operating fees are payable to the Company under long-term contracts with ArcelorMittal Brazil.

The Company generally does not require any collateral with respect to its receivables. At both December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s receivables balances were primarily due from AM USA and ArcelorMittal Brazil, AK Steel and U.S. Steel. As a result, the Company experiences concentrations of credit risk in its receivables with these three customers. These concentrations of credit risk may be affected by changes in economic or other conditions affecting the steel industry.

Our logistics business provided coal handling and storage services to Murray Energy Corporation, Inc. ("Murray") and Foresight Energy LLC ("Foresight"), who have historically been the two primary customers in the Logistics segment. In 2019, Murray filed for bankruptcy and rejected its take-or-pay contract with CMT, which resulted in the absence of approximately $30 million of take-or-pay revenues. See Note 8.
