For Immediate Release
Walter Energy Announces Third Quarter 2013 Results
Metallurgical Coal Sales Totaled 2.8 Million Metric Tons, an Increase of 7.7%
Compared With Third Quarter 2012
Metallurgical Coal Cost of Sales per Ton Declined 10.8% Compared With Third Quarter 2012
BIRMINGHAM, AL — Oct. 30, 2013 — Walter Energy Inc. (NYSE:WLT) (TSX:WLT), a leading, publicly traded “pure-play” producer of metallurgical (“met”) coal for the global steel industry, today announced results for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.
“We are pleased with the progress we made in the third quarter in reducing costs, improving productivity and increasing met coal sales,” said Walt Scheller, Chief Executive Officer. “We also continued to take proactive steps to strengthen our balance sheet and enhance our financial flexibility through a debt offering and related reduction of near-term debt maturities. Demand for our products has remained firm, and we have recently seen an improvement in met coal pricing. We look forward to improved financial performance in the fourth quarter and in 2014.”
Consolidated Financial Results
Walter Energy reported a net loss of $100.7 million, or $1.61 loss per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2013, compared with a net loss of $1.1 billion, or $16.97 loss per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2012. The net loss in the third quarter of 2013 included a gain from the early extinguishment of debt and foreign exchange gains. Excluding these items, the net loss for the quarter was $1.68 per diluted share. The third quarter of 2012 loss included non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $1.1 billion, or $17.05 per share, primarily related to the 2011 acquisition of Western Coal and a pre-tax charge of
$40.0 million associated with the abandonment of a natural gas exploration project. Third quarter 2012 adjusted net income excluding these charges was $29.8 million.
Third quarter 2013 consolidated revenues totaled $455.8 million, a decrease from $612.0 million in the third quarter of 2012, primarily due to lower met coal prices in 2013. Higher met coal sales volume in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to 2012 partially offset the decline in met coal sales pricing. Results for the current-year period also reflected the favorable impact of lower production costs, including improved met coal cost performance and continued reductions in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses.
In the third quarter of 2013, the Company recognized non-cash deferred income tax charges of $24.0 million, primarily related to revaluation of Canadian and U.K. deferred tax liabilities as the result of changes to the statutory corporate tax rates in each jurisdiction.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the third quarter of 2013 totaled $28.8 million. Excluding the gain from the early extinguishment of debt and the foreign exchange gains, adjusted EBITDA for the quarter totaled $21.3 million. Third quarter 2012 adjusted EBITDA, excluding the non-cash goodwill and other asset impairment charges, totaled $116.6 million. These charges and adjustments are shown in the Company’s “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included with this release.
Metallurgical Coal Sales Volume and Pricing
Third quarter of 2013 met coal sales volume, including both hard coking coal (“HCC”) and low-volatility (“low-vol”) pulverized coal injection product (“PCI”), was 2.8 million metric tons (“MMTs”), representing an increase of 0.2 MMTs compared with the third quarter of 2012. HCC sales volume was 2.3 MMTs in the third quarter of 2013, an increase of 5.3% compared with the third quarter of 2012. Low-vol PCI sales volume totaled 0.5 MMTs, an increase of 19.3% in the third quarter of 2013 compared with the prior-year comparable quarter. Met coal sales volume was approximately 84% of total coal sales volume in the third quarter of 2013 compared with 74% in the prior year period.
The selling price for HCC averaged $133.72 per metric ton (MT), down from the third quarter of 2012 average pricing of $196.66 per MT. Low-vol PCI pricing averaged $121.76 per MT in the third quarter of 2013 compared with $160.37 per MT in the prior year comparable quarter.
Metallurgical Coal Cash Cost of Sales
Met coal cash cost of sales for the third quarter 2013 averaged $117.95 per MT, down 10.8% compared with the third quarter of 2012.
Metallurgical Coal Production
Met coal production was 2.8 MMTs in the third quarter of 2013, comprised of 2.3 MMTs of HCC and 0.5 MMTs of low-vol PCI. Met coal production in the 2013 third quarter decreased 16.6% compared with third quarter of 2012 production of 3.3 MMTs, largely driven by planned reductions in low-vol PCI
production at the Company’s Brule and Willow Creek mines, making up its Brazion operations, as well as other curtailments. Production at the Wolverine mine was lower due to a period of unfavorable mining conditions. These declines were partially offset by strong low and mid-vol production at the Company’s Alabama mines.
Met coal cash cost of production averaged $77.56 per MT in the third quarter of 2013, down $12.05 per MT or 13.4%, compared with the prior-year comparable quarter. This reduction came primarily from the Company’s Alabama low and mid-vol mines, which decreased by $18.19 per MT, or 21.9%, in the third quarter of 2013 as compared with the third quarter of the prior year.
Other Expenses
SG&A expenses totaled $21.9 million in the third quarter 2013, compared with $32.5 million in the third quarter of the prior year. Third quarter 2013 SG&A expenses exclude $5.3 million of operations-related direct administrative charges included in cost of sales resulting from a change in accounting practices.
Interest expense for the third quarter of 2013 totaled $63.5 million compared with $30.5 million in the third quarter of 2012, with the increase in the current-year period primarily driven by an increase in long-term debt, higher interest rates and a non-cash charge of $13.2 million, including the amortization of debt issuance costs applicable to prepaid debt.
Capital Expenditures
The Company’s capital expenditures totaled $28.5 million in the third quarter of 2013, compared with $85.3 million in the third quarter of 2012. Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2013 totaled $108.7 million compared with $331.3 million in the first nine months of 2012. Lower capital spending in 2013 reflects the Company’s focus on disciplined capital spending in light of the current market conditions. The Company remains on track to meet its capital expenditure target of approximately $150 million in 2013.
Liquidity
Available liquidity was $614.0 million at the end of the third quarter of 2013, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $293.1 million plus $320.9 million of availability under the Company’s $375 million revolving credit facility, net of outstanding letters of credit of $54.1 million. During the quarter, the Company issued $450 million of senior secured notes, due 2019. Proceeds from the notes were used to extinguish $250 million of the Company’s Term Loan A debt, with the remainder available for general corporate purposes. The Company has no material debt maturities until June of 2015.
Outlook
Met coal production is expected to increase in the fourth quarter of 2013 as compared to the third quarter, as the Wolverine mine is moving into a more favorable phase in its mining cycle. The Company remains on track to achieve its full-year met coal production target of approximately 11 MMTs and an overall 15% reduction in year-over-year met coal production costs on a per ton basis.

(1) The three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 includes a goodwill impairment charge and an impairment charge associated with the abandonment of a natural gas exploration project.
(2) Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 reflects increases in interest rates on our outstanding debt obligations due to the Second, Third and Fifth Amendments to the 2011 Credit Agreement, increases in interest associated with the issuance of the $500.0 million 9.875% senior notes in the fourth quarter of 2012, the $450.0 million 8.5% senior notes in the first quarter of 2013, the $450.0 million 9.5% senior secured notes in the current quarter and the accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs associated with Term Loans A and B debt prepayments of $11.2 million.
(3) Other income in the current period primarily relates to a gain of $4.3 million recognized upon the prepayment of $250 million of our Term Loan A debt using proceeds from the issuance of $450.0 million 9.5% senior secured notes in the current quarter.
(4) The 2013 income tax benefit includes the effects of changes to statutory tax rates within the various geographic regions we operate, inclusive of their effects on deferred taxes.
(5) In periods of net loss, the number of shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share is the same as that used to calculate basic earnings per share.

(1) Average Cash Cost of Sales per Ton is based on reported Cost of Sales and includes items such as freight, royalties, manpower, fuel and other similar production and sales cost items but excludes depreciation, depletion and post retirement benefits. Average Cash Cost of Production per Ton is based on period costs of mining and includes items such as manpower, fuel and other similar production items but excludes depreciation, depletion and post retirement benefits. Average Cash Cost per Ton is a non-GAAP financial measure which is not calculated in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute or superior to financial measures calculated in conformity with GAAP. We believe Average Cash Cost per Ton is a useful measure of performance and we believe it aids some investors and analysts in comparing us against other companies to help analyze our current and future potential performance. Average Cash Cost of Sales per Ton may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

EBITDA from continuing operations is defined as earnings excluding discontinued operations before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, and depreciation and depletion expense. EBITDA from continuing operations is a financial measure which is not calculated in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute or superior to financial measures calculated in conformity with GAAP. We believe that EBITDA from continuing operations is a useful measure as some investors and analysts use EBITDA from continuing operations to compare us against other companies and to help analyze our ability to satisfy principal and interest obligations and capital expenditure needs. EBITDA from continuing operations may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. |

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude restructuring charges (benefits), asset impairment, proxy contest expenses and other miscellaneous items, gain on early extinguishment of debt, and loss on ineffective portion of derivative instruments. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with GAAP, and we believe items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant to a reader in understanding and assessing our financial condition. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to net income, income from operations, cash flows from operations or as a measure of our profitability, liquidity or performance under generally accepted accounting principles. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA presents a useful measure of our ability to incur and service debt based on ongoing operations. Furthermore, analogous measures are used by industry analysts to evaluate our operating performance. Investors should be aware that our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. |

Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net loss excluding income from discontinued operations, restructuring charges (benefits), asset impairment, proxy contest expenses and other miscellaneous items, gain on early extinguishment of debt, and loss on ineffective portion of derivative instruments, net of tax. Adjusted net income (loss) is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and we believe items excluded from Adjusted net income (loss) are significant to a reader in understanding and assessing our results of operations. Therefore, Adjusted net income (loss) should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to net income (loss) under generally accepted accounting principles. |
