Hallador Energy Company Reports Third Quarter 2020 Financial and Operating Results
November 02 2020 - 5:29PM
Hallador Energy Company (NASDAQ – HNRG) today reported net
income of $1.9 million, $.06 Per Share.
Brent Bilsland, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated,
"We are intensely focused on creating positive cash flow to
aggressively pay down debt. Year to date, we have paid down
$33 million and are on pace to reduce our total bank debt by 20% -
25% for the year."
- During Q3 2020, shipments improved over Q2 levels and our costs
of $29.30 per ton remained within our expectations.
- In the first nine months of 2020, bank debt was reduced by
$33 million, and operating cash flow was
$34.1 million. Coal inventories decreased $4.5 million
in Q3. We anticipate shipments increasing in Q4 and inventory
levels to continue to decline, further improving operating cash
flow.
- As of September 30, 2020, both our liquidity and our leverage
ratio improved to $52.7 million and 2.46X, respectively.
Leverage was comfortably within our covenant of
3.5X.
Solid Sales Position Through 2022
- Due to the impacts and economic uncertainty of COVID-19, the
Company is continuing to suspend sales guidance, but still
carries a strong contracted sales position through 2022.

* Contracted tons are subject to adjustment due to the
exercise of customer options to either take additional tons or
reduce tonnage if such options exist in the customer
contract. Our actual shipments for the remainder of 2020 are
estimated to be 1.7 million tons as we expect our customers to
defer or carryover 400,000 tons from 2020 to 2021 from the
contracted tons noted above, resulting in contracted and carryover
tons of 5.4 million for 2021.

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted free cash flow
should not be considered alternatives to net income, income from
operations, cash flows from operating activities or any other
measure of financial performance presented in accordance with
GAAP. Our method of computing EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and
adjusted free cash flow may not be the same method used to compute
similar measures reported by other companies.
Management believes that the presentation of such additional
financial measures provides useful information to investors
regarding our performance and results of operations because these
measures, when used in conjunction with related GAAP financial
measures, (i) provide additional information about our core
operating performance and ability to generate and distribute cash
flow, (ii) provide investors with the financial and analytical
framework upon which management bases financial, operation,
compensation, and planning decisions, and (iii) present
measurements that investors, rating agencies, and debt holders have
indicated are useful in assessing our results.
