(

) Business and Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
Together, the condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, balance sheet, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the Company are referred to as the “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.” The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are also referenced across periods as “Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets,” “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations,” and “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.”
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all wholly-owned subsidiaries’ results of operations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2019
and
2018
. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for Form 10-Q. Such rules and regulations allow the omission of certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP as long as the financial statements are not misleading. In the opinion of management, these interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. Results of operations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2019
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or any other period. These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Reclassifications
Accretion on asset retirement obligations has been reclassified in the prior year from cost of coal sales to a separate line item in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations to conform to the current year presentation. Freight and handling costs has been reclassified in the prior year from a separate line item into cost of coal sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations to conform to the current year presentation.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Leases:
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02
, Leases
(“ASU 2016-02”)
.
ASU 2016-02, along with related amendments issued from 2017 to 2019 (collectively, the “New Leases Standard”), requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet.
The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019 and elected the option to not restate comparative periods in transition and also elected the package of practical expedients for all leases within the standard, which permits the Company not to reassess its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. Additionally, the Company elected the transition practical expedient to continue to account for existing and expired land easements at transition as executory contracts. Only land easements entered into or modified after the effective date of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842 are accounted for as leases by the Company.
As a result of the adoption, the Company recorded operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The following table summarizes the impact of the adoption of ASC 842 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet:

Balances do not include measurement-period adjustments recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2019. Refer to Note 2 for further details on measurement-period adjustments recorded during the period.
The adoption of ASC 842 did not have an impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Refer to Note
9
for further disclosure requirements under the new standard.
Credit Losses:
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13,
Credit Losses
(“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13, along with related amendments and improvements issued in 2018 and 2019, replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. Management is currently evaluating the impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
Stock Compensation
: In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation -
Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting
(“ASU 2018-07”). The amendments in this update expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 during the first quarter of 2019. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

) Mergers and Acquisitions
A Merger with ANR, Inc. (“ANR”) and Alpha Natural Resources Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”, and, together with ANR, the "Alpha Companies”) was completed on November 9, 2018 (the “Merger” or the “Alpha Merger”).
Preliminary Allocation of Purchase Price
There were no measurement-period adjustments recorded during the period from the acquisition date to June 30, 2019 that impacted the preliminary purchase price of
$688,534
. As of
June 30, 2019
, the fair value allocation for the acquisition is preliminary and will be finalized when the valuation and the related internal controls over financial reporting are completed. Differences between the preliminary and final allocation could be material. The Company’s estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the measurement period (up to one year from the closing of the acquisition), as the Company finalizes the accounting for the purchase price of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the areas of property plant and equipment, owned and leased mineral rights, acquired intangibles, goodwill, asset retirement obligations, taxes, accounts payable, and other contingencies. The Company continues to review the significant amount of data and assumptions used in these areas which could cause a reallocation of the purchase price. The below table is a preliminary allocation of the assets acquired and the liabilities the Company assumed in the acquisition as of December 31, 2018, along with adjustments through the second quarter of 2019 resulting in the preliminary allocation as of
June 30, 2019
.

During the six months ended
June 30, 2019
, the Company recorded measurement-period adjustments to the provisional opening balance sheet as shown in the table above. Adjustments were made primarily to property, plant and equipment, owned and leased mineral rights and asset retirement obligations. There were no material measurement-period adjustments impacting current-period earnings that would have been recorded in the previous reporting period if the adjustments to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date.
In connection with the Merger, the Company originally recorded provisional goodwill of
$95,624
, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of tangible and intangible asset acquired, net of liabilities assumed. As a result of measurement-period adjustments recorded during the
six months ended June 30, 2019
, the provisional amount of goodwill increased by
$5,395
resulting in provisional goodwill of
$101,019
as of
June 30, 2019
. The goodwill is attributed primarily to the following factors: (i) anticipated operating and administrative synergies, and (ii) deferred income taxes arising from the differences between the preliminary purchase price allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on fair value and the tax basis of these assets and liabilities. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The Company’s provisional estimate of goodwill is not yet finalized and has been allocated to the Company’s CAPP-Met reportable segment.

These amounts have been calculated after applying the Company's accounting policies and adjusting the results of ANR to reflect the additional depreciation, amortization, depletion, and cost of coal sales that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment, as well as intangibles, asset retirement obligations, and inventory had been applied at January 1, 2017, together with the consequential tax effects.
The pro forma results for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2018
include
$3,423
and
$3,883
, respectively, of merger-related costs primarily related to professional service fees.

) Discontinued Operations
The discontinued operations include the Company’s former PRB segment. On December 8, 2017, the Company closed a transaction (“PRB Transaction”) with Blackjewel L.L.C. (“Blackjewel” or the “Buyer”) to sell the Eagle Butte and Belle Ayr mines located in the PRB. During the anticipated permit transfer period, the Company maintained the required reclamation bonds and related collateral. As of
June 30, 2019
, the Company had outstanding surety bonds with a total face amount of
$237,310
to secure various obligations and commitments related to the PRB. As the permits associated with the PRB Transaction have not transferred due to the Blackjewel Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing on July 1, 2019, the Company no longer anticipates the related restricted cash and deposits will be returned in the near term to operating cash.

The depreciation, depletion and amortization is primarily related to an increase in the asset retirement obligation as a result of the Blackjewel Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing on July 1, 2019. The Company remeasured the liability based on the expectation that the mining permits will not transfer and Blackjewel is not expected to perform on their contractual obligation to reclaim the properties due to Blackjewel’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. The increase in the asset retirement obligation was expensed in the three months ended June 30, 2019 as there are no related mining assets. The estimates and assumptions used to determine the asset retirement obligation as of June 30, 2019 will continue to be evaluated and updated as additional information becomes available in subsequent periods. Refer to Note
19
for further details within subsequent event disclosures.
(3)
The asset impairment is primarily related to the write-off of a tax receivable. Refer to the disclosures below for further details.

) Net Income (Loss) Per Share
CONTURA ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands except share and per share data)
The number of shares used to calculate basic net income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of the Company’s outstanding common shares during the respective period. The number of shares used to calculate diluted net income (loss) per common share is based on the number of common shares used to calculate basic net income (loss) per share plus the dilutive effect of stock options and other stock-based instruments held by the Company’s employees and directors during the period, and the Company’s outstanding Series A warrants. The warrants become dilutive for net income (loss) per common share calculations when the market price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the exercise price. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019,
95,162
stock options and
131,707
restricted stock units were excluded from the computation of dilutive net income (loss) per share because they would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,
129,520
stock options were excluded from the computation of dilutive net income (loss) per share because they would have been anti-dilutive. These potential shares could dilute net income (loss) per share in the future.

) Goodwill and Acquired Intangibles
Goodwill
In connection with the Merger, the Company recorded provisional goodwill. Refer to Note
2
for information on goodwill.
Acquired Intangibles
The Company has recognized assets for acquired above market-priced coal supply agreements and acquired mine permits and liabilities for acquired below market-priced coal supply agreements. The coal supply agreements were valued based on the present value of the difference between the expected net contractual cash flows based on the stated contract terms, and the estimated net contractual cash flows derived from applying forward market prices at the Merger or acquisition date for new contracts of similar terms and conditions. The acquired mine permits were valued based on the replacement cost and lost profits method as of the Merger date. The balances and respective balance sheet classifications of such assets and liabilities as of
June 30, 2019
and December 31, 2018, net of accumulated amortization, are set forth in the following tables:

) Leases
Subsequent to the adoption of ASC 842, the Company recognizes right of use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. The discount rates used to determine the present value of the lease assets and liabilities are based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date and commensurate with the remaining lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, no right of use assets or liabilities are recognized on the balance sheet and the Company recognizes the lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Additionally, the Company recognizes variable lease payments as an expense in the period incurred.
The Company’s lease population consists primarily of vehicle and heavy equipment leases and leases for office equipment. The Company’s building and land leases relate to corporate office space and certain site offices. The Company determines whether a contract contains a lease based on whether the Company obtains the right to control the use of specifically identifiable property, plant, and equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. For the
six months ended June 30, 2019
the Company identified no instances requiring significant judgment in determining whether any contract entered into during the period were or were not leases. Additionally, the Company had no material sublease agreements within the scope of ASC 842 or lease agreements for which the Company was the lessor for the
six months ended June 30, 2019
.
Renewal options in the Company’s lease population primarily relate to month-to-month extensions on vehicle leases and are immaterial both individually and in the aggregate. The Company includes renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised in the measurement lease liabilities. As of
June 30, 2019
, the Company does not intend to exercise any termination options on existing leases.
As of
June 30, 2019
, the Company had the following right-of-use assets and lease liabilities within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

Term Loan Credit Facility - due June 2024
On June 14, 2019, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other lenders party thereto (as defined therein) that provides for a senior secured term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of
$561,800
with a maturity date of June 14, 2024 (the “Term Loan Credit Facility”). Principal repayments equal to approximately
$1,405
are due each March, June, September and December (commencing with September 30, 2019) with the final principal repayment installment repaid on the maturity date and in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount outstanding on such date. The Term Loan Credit Facility bears an interest rate per annum based on the character of the loan (defined as either “Base Rate Loan” or “Eurocurrency Rate Loan”) plus an applicable rate of
6.00%
for Base Rate Loans and
7.00%
for Eurocurrency Rate Loans on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date and
7.00%
or
8.00%
thereafter (the “Applicable Rate”). Interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan is payable in arrears on the last business day of each March, June, September and December and the maturity date. Interest accrued on each Eurocurrency Rate Loan is payable in arrears on the last day of each interest period as defined therein. As of
June 30, 2019
, the borrowings made under the Term Loan Credit Facility were comprised of Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an interest rate of
9.41%
, calculated as the eurocurrency rate during the period plus an applicable rate of
7.00%
. As of
June 30, 2019
, the carrying value of the Term Loan Credit Facility was
$538,070
with
$5,618
classified as current, within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2018, the carrying value of the term loan credit facility under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated November 9, 2018 was
$521,667
with
$20,625
classified as current, within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Term Loan Credit Facility was provided primarily by certain of the Company’s existing shareholders (related parties) as of the agreement date. As such, the Company analyzed various factors of the transaction and concluded the Term Loan Credit Facility was issued at a reasonable market rate and therefore considered to be an arm’s length transaction.
The Company used the proceeds from the Term Loan Credit Facility to repay the outstanding principal balance of
$543,125
under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated November 9, 2018 and fees related to such refinancing. The Company recorded a loss on modification of debt of
$255
, primarily related to modification fees paid under the refinance, and a loss on extinguishment of debt of
$26,204
, primarily related to the write-off of outstanding debt discounts and unamortized debt issuance costs under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated November 9, 2018, which are recorded in loss on modification and extinguishment of debt within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
All obligations under the Term Loan Credit Facility are substantially guaranteed by the Company’s existing wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, and are required to be guaranteed by the Company’s future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. Certain obligations under the Term Loan Facility are secured by a senior lien, subject to certain exceptions (including the ABL Priority Collateral described below), by substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of the Company’s subsidiary guarantors (“Term Loan Priority Collateral”), in each case subject to exceptions. The obligations under the Term Loan Credit Facility are also secured by a junior lien, again subject to certain exceptions, against the ABL Priority Collateral. The Term Loan Facility contains negative and affirmative covenants including certain financial covenants that are more flexible than the covenants on the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated November 9, 2018. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under this agreement as of
June 30, 2019
.

) Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
The estimated fair values of financial instruments are determined based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainty and cannot be determined with precision.
The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, net, prepaid expenses and other current assets, short-term and long-term restricted cash, short-term and long-term deposits, trade accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value as of
June 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
due to the short maturity of these instruments.

The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial and non-financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of
June 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
. Financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the determination of fair value for assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

Refer to Note 2 for additional information on the Merger and related measurement-period adjustments recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2019.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the assets and liabilities in the tables above:
Level 1 Fair Value Measurements
Term Loan Credit Facility - due June 2024 and Term Loan Credit Facility - due November 2025
- The fair value is based on observable market data.
Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
LCC Note Payable, LCC Water Treatment Obligation, Retiree Committee VEBA Funding Settlement Liability, UMWA Funds Settlement Liability, Environmental Settlement Obligations
and Reclamation Funding Liability
- Observable transactions are not available to aid in determining the fair value of these items. Therefore, the fair value was derived by using the expected present value approach in which estimated cash flows are discounted using a risk-free interest rate adjusted for market risk.
Contingent Revenue Obligation
- The fair value of the contingent revenue obligation was estimated using a Black-Scholes pricing model and is marked to market at each reporting period with changes in value reflected in earnings. The inputs included in the Black-Scholes pricing model are the Company's forecasted future revenue, the stated royalty rate, the remaining periods in the obligation; annual risk-free interest rate based on the US Constant Maturity Treasury Curve and annualized volatility. The annualized volatility was calculated by observing volatilities for comparable companies with adjustments for the Company's size and leverage.
Acquisition accounting
- The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. The total cost of acquisitions is allocated to the underlying identifiable net tangible and intangible assets based on their respective estimated fair values. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management’s judgment, the utilization of independent valuation experts and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions with respect to the timing and amounts of future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, market prices and asset lives, among other items. A combination of income, market and cost approaches are used for the valuation where appropriate, depending on the assets or liabilities being valued. The valuation inputs in these models and analyses give consideration to market participant assumptions.
(

) Income Taxes
For the
six months ended June 30, 2019
, the Company recorded income tax benefit of
$5,778
on income from continuing operations before income taxes of
$26,512
. The income tax benefit differs from the expected statutory amount primarily due to the impact of the percentage depletion allowance, the permanent impact of stock-based compensation deductions, and the
CONTURA ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands except share and per share data)
reduction in the valuation allowance. As of
June 30, 2019
, the Company anticipates that no current federal income tax liability will be generated in 2019. For the
six months ended June 30, 2018
, the Company recorded income tax expense of
$121
on income from continuing operations before income taxes of
$133,063
. The income tax expense differs from the expected statutory amount primarily due to the impact of the percentage depletion allowance and the reduction in the valuation allowance, partially offset by the impact of state income taxes, net of federal tax impact.
During the
six months ended June 30, 2019
, the Company recorded an increase of
$12,387
to its deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which consists of a
$2,089
reduction recorded to continuing operations and a
$14,476
increase recorded to discontinued operations. The Company currently is relying primarily on the reversal of taxable temporary differences, along with consideration of taxable income via carryback to prior years and tax planning strategies, to support the realization of deferred tax assets. For each reporting period, the Company updates its assessment regarding the realizability of its deferred tax assets, including scheduling the reversal of its deferred tax assets and liabilities, to determine the amount of valuation allowance needed. Scheduling the reversal of deferred tax asset and liability balances requires judgment and estimation. The Company believes the deferred tax liabilities relied upon as future taxable income in its assessment will reverse in the same period and jurisdiction and are of the same character as the temporary differences giving rise to the deferred tax assets that will be realized. The valuation allowance recorded represents the portion of deferred tax assets for which the Company is unable to support realization through the methods described above.
(
15
) Employee Benefit Plans
The Company provides several types of benefits for its employees, including postemployment life insurance, defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans, and workers’ compensation and black lung benefits. The Company does not participate in any multi-employer plans. The components of net periodic (benefit) expense other than the service cost component for pension, black lung, and life insurance benefits are included in the line item miscellaneous loss, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

) Commitments and Contingencies
(a) General
Estimated losses from loss contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the loss contingency is made in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a loss may be incurred and that the loss could be material.
(b) Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
The Company leases coal mining and other equipment under long-term financing and operating leases with varying terms. Refer to Note
9
for further information on leases. In addition, the Company leases mineral interests and surface rights from land owners under various terms and royalty rates.
CONTURA ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands except share and per share data)
Coal royalty expense was
$27,305
and
$7,770
for the
three months ended June 30, 2019
and 2018. Coal royalty expense was
$51,251
and
$13,743
for the
six months ended June 30, 2019
and 2018.
Other Commitments
The Company has obligations under certain coal purchase agreements that contain minimum quantities to be purchased in the remainder of 2019 and 2020 totaling an estimated
$253,145
and
$13,200
, respectively, which includes an estimated
$50,400
in the remainder of 2019 related to contractually committed variable priced tons from vendors with historical performance resulting in less than 20% of the committed tonnage being delivered. The Company has obligations under certain coal transportation agreements that contain minimum quantities to be shipped in the remainder of 2019 and 2020 totaling
$2,058
and
$10,906
, respectively. The Company also has obligations under certain equipment purchase agreements that contain minimum quantities to be purchased in the remainder of 2019 and 2020, totaling
$42,005
and
$2,134
, respectively.
Contingencies
Extensive regulation of the impacts of mining on the environment and of maintaining workplace safety has had and is expected to continue to have a significant effect on the Company’s costs of production and results of operations. Further regulations, legislation or litigation in these areas may also cause the Company’s sales or profitability to decline by increasing costs or by hindering the Company’s ability to continue mining at existing operations or to permit new operations.
During the normal course of business, contract-related matters arise between the Company and its customers. When a loss related to such matters is considered probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records a liability.
Per terms of the Back-to-Back Coal Supply Agreements, the Company is required to purchase and sell coal in the remainder of 2019 and 2020 totaling
$8,338
and
$9,175
, respectively. For the
three months ended June 30, 2019
and 2018, the Company purchased and sold
352
and
1,486
tons, respectively, totaling

, respectively, under the Back-to-Back Coal Supply Agreements. For the
six months ended June 30, 2019
and 2018, the Company purchased and sold
721
and
4,650

, respectively, under the Back-to-Back Coal Supply Agreements. On July 1, 2019, Blackjewel announced a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. Refer to Note
19
for further details within subsequent event disclosures. If the Company’s purchase of the PRB operations is approved, the Company is expected to retain the contracts that were formally treated as Back-to-Back Coal Supply Agreements.
In October 2018, the State of Wyoming Department of Revenue invoiced Blackjewel for approximately
$7,800
in severance taxes owed by Blackjewel in connection with the Wyoming properties it previously acquired from the Company. In connection with this invoice, the Department purported to assert liens over Contura Coal West, LLC, one of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Company believes that neither the Company nor its subsidiary is obligated to pay these severance taxes. On October 28, 2018, Blackjewel entered into a payment plan agreement with the State of Wyoming Department of Revenue to address the severance taxes owed by Blackjewel. On July 1, 2019, Blackjewel announced a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. Refer to Note
19
for further details within subsequent event disclosures.
Future Federal Income Tax Refunds
As of
June 30, 2019
, the Company has recorded
$68,774
of federal income tax receivable and
$68,774
of federal deferred tax asset related to AMT Credits. In addition, the Company has recorded a non-current federal income tax receivable of
$43,770
related to an NOL carryback claim. Because the federal government was a creditor in the Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. (“Predecessor Alpha”) bankruptcy proceedings, it is possible that the federal government could withhold some or all of the tax refund attributable to the NOL carryback claim and the refundable AMT Credits and assert a right to setoff the tax refund and refundable credits against its prepetition bankruptcy claims.
(c) Guarantees and Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to certain guarantees and financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, such as bank letters of credit, performance or surety bonds, and other guarantees and indemnities related to the obligations of affiliated entities which are not reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, the underlying liabilities that they secure, such as asset retirement obligations, workers’ compensation liabilities, and royalty obligations, are reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
CONTURA ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands except share and per share data)
The Company is required to provide financial assurance in order to perform the post-mining reclamation required by its mining permits, pay its federal production royalties, pay workers’ compensation claims under workers’ compensation laws in various states, pay federal black lung benefits, and perform certain other obligations. In order to provide the required financial assurance, the Company generally uses surety bonds for post-mining reclamation and workers’ compensation obligations. The Company can also use bank letters of credit to collateralize certain obligations.
As of
June 30, 2019
, the Company had outstanding surety bonds with a total face amount of
$580,284
to secure various obligations and commitments, including
$237,310
related to the PRB. To secure the Company’s reclamation-related obligations, the Company currently has
$114,776
of collateral supporting these obligations. As the permits associated with the PRB Transaction have not transferred due to the Blackjewel Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing on July 1, 2019, the Company no longer anticipates the related restricted cash and deposits will be returned in the near term to operating cash. Refer to Note
19
for further details within subsequent event disclosures.
Amounts included in restricted cash represent cash deposits that are restricted as to withdrawal as required by certain agreements entered into by the Company and provide collateral in the amounts of
$95,721
,
$31,230
,
$87,909
,
$28,752
, and
$2,833
as of
June 30, 2019
for securing the Company’s obligations under certain worker’s compensation, black lung, reclamation-related obligations, general liabilities, and financial guarantees, respectively, which have been written on the Company’s behalf. Additionally, the Company has
$4,431
of short-term restricted cash held in escrow related to the Company’s contingent revenue obligation. Refer to Note
11
for further information regarding the contingent revenue obligation. The Company’s restricted cash is primarily invested in interest bearing accounts. This restricted cash is classified as both short-term and long-term on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Amounts included in restricted investments consist of certificates of deposit, corporate bonds, and U.S. treasury bills that are restricted as to withdrawal as required by certain agreements entered into by the Company and provide collateral in the amounts of
$2,528
and
$15,315
as of
June 30, 2019
for securing the Company’s obligations under certain worker’s compensation and reclamation-related obligations, respectively, which have been written on the Company’s behalf. These restricted investments are classified as long-term on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Deposits represent cash deposits held at third parties as required by certain agreements entered into by the Company to provide cash collateral. At
June 30, 2019
, the Company had cash collateral in the form of deposits in the amounts of
$11,553
and
$11,855
to secure the Company’s obligations under reclamation-related obligations and various other operating agreements, respectively. These deposits are classified as both short-term and long-term on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of
June 30, 2019
, the Company had real property collateralizing
$26,749
of reclamation bonds.
The Company meets frequently with its surety providers and has discussions with certain providers regarding the extent of and the terms of their participation in the program. These discussions may cause the Company to shift surety bonds between providers or to alter the terms of their participation in our program. To the extent that surety bonds become unavailable or the Company’s surety bond providers require additional collateral, the Company would seek to secure its obligations with letters of credit, cash deposits or other suitable forms of collateral. The Company’s failure to maintain, or inability to acquire, surety bonds or to provide a suitable alternative would have a material adverse effect on its liquidity. These failures could result from a variety of factors including lack of availability, higher cost or unfavorable market terms of new surety bonds, and the exercise by third-party surety bond issuers of their right to refuse to renew the surety.
Letters of Credit
As of
June 30, 2019
, the Company had
$39,474
letters of credit outstanding under the Amended and Restated Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement. Additionally, as of
June 30, 2019
, the Company had
$135,746
letters of credit outstanding under the Amended and Restated Letter of Credit Agreement dated November 9, 2018 between ANR, Inc. and Citibank, N.A. and
$613
letters of credit outstanding under the Credit and Security Agreement dated June 30, 2017, and related amendments, between ANR, Inc. and First Tennessee Bank National Association.
(d) Legal Proceedings
The Company is party to legal proceedings from time to time. These proceedings, as well as governmental examinations,
CONTURA ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands except share and per share data)
could involve various business units and a variety of claims including, but not limited to, contract disputes, personal injury claims, property damage claims (including those resulting from blasting, trucking and flooding), environmental and safety issues, securities-related matters and employment matters. While some legal matters may specify the damages claimed by the plaintiffs, many seek an unquantified amount of damages. Even when the amount of damages claimed against the Company or its subsidiaries is stated, (i) the claimed amount may be exaggerated or unsupported; (ii) the claim may be based on a novel legal theory or involve a large number of parties; (iii) there may be uncertainty as to the likelihood of a class being certified or the ultimate size of the class; (iv) there may be uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; and/or (v) there may be significant factual issues to be resolved. As a result, if such legal matters arise in the future, the Company may be unable to estimate a range of possible loss for matters that have not yet progressed sufficiently through discovery and development of important factual information and legal issues. The Company records accruals based on an estimate of the ultimate outcome of these matters, but these estimates can be difficult to determine and involve significant judgment.

) Subsequent Events
On July 1, 2019, Blackjewel announced that it and certain affiliated entities had filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of West Virginia. Subsequently, on July 10, 2019, the Wyoming Environmental Quality Council (the “EQC”) stayed the transfer process of the still outstanding permits from Contura Coal West to Blackjewel to allow the EQC time to review these developments. The EQC has taken no additional action since July 10, 2019. On July 25, 2019, the Company announced that it would seek to serve as the stalking horse purchaser for certain assets offered for sale through Blackjewel’s bankruptcy proceedings, and on August 6, 2019, the federal bankruptcy judge in the Southern District of West Virginia verbally approved the Company’s purchase of the Eagle Butte and Belle Ayr mines in Wyoming and the Pax Surface Mine in Scarbro, West Virginia for
$33,750
. Subject to the terms of the Company’s offer to purchase the Eagle Butte and Belle Ayr mines in Wyoming and the Pax Surface Mine, the Company made a purchase deposit of
$8,100
on July 26, 2019 which will be applied to the purchase price in accordance with the preliminary term sheet. Pursuant to preliminary term sheet, the Company also expects to assume other obligations in connection with the purchase. Closing of the transaction is subject to the Company, Blackjewel’s debtor estate and additional relevant parties in the bankruptcy proceedings (including federal and state governmental agencies) reaching an agreement as to the payment of certain pre-petition claims and entry of a final order by the court. There can be no assurance that a settlement among the parties can be reached.
GLOSSARY
Acquisition.
Refers to the transaction by which Contura acquired certain of Alpha’s core coal operations as part of the Alpha Restructuring.
Alpha.
Alpha Natural Resources, Inc.
Alpha Restructuring.
The series of bankruptcy restructuring transactions which led to Alpha’s emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy on July 26, 2016.
Ash.
Impurities consisting of iron, alumina and other incombustible matter that are contained in coal. Since ash increases the weight of coal, it adds to the cost of handling and can affect the burning characteristics of coal.
Back-to-Back Coal Supply Agreement.
An agreement with Blackjewel (the “Buyer”) under the terms of the asset purchase agreement associated with the sale of PRB under which the Buyer will supply, deliver and sell to the Company, and the Company will accept, purchase and pay for, all coal that the Company is obligated to supply, deliver and sell under PRB coal supply agreements existing as of the transaction closing date that did not transfer to the Buyer at closing.
British Thermal Unit or BTU.
A measure of the thermal energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of pure liquid water one degree Fahrenheit at the temperature at which water has its greatest density (39 degrees Fahrenheit).
Central Appalachia or CAPP.
Coal producing area in eastern Kentucky, Virginia, southern West Virginia and a portion of eastern Tennessee.
Coal seam.
Coal deposits occur in layers. Each layer is called a “seam.”
Coke.
A hard, dry carbon substance produced by heating coal to a very high temperature in the absence of air. Coke is used in the manufacture of iron and steel. Its production results in a number of useful byproducts.
Contura or Company.
Contura Energy, Inc.
Metallurgical coal.
The various grades of coal suitable for carbonization to make coke for steel manufacture. Also known as “met” coal, its quality depends on four important criteria: volatility, which affects coke yield; the level of impurities including sulfur and ash, which affect coke quality; composition, which affects coke strength; and basic characteristics, which affect coke oven safety. Met coal typically has a particularly high BTU but low ash and sulfur content.
Northern Appalachia or NAPP.
Coal producing area in Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia.
Operating Margin.
Coal revenues less cost of coal sales.
Powder River Basin or PRB.
Coal producing area in northeastern Wyoming and southeastern Montana.
Predecessor.
Contura on a carve-out basis using Predecessor Alpha’s historical basis and our assets, liabilities and operating results while they were under Predecessor Alpha’s ownership
Preparation plant.
A preparation plant is a facility for crushing, sizing and washing coal to remove impurities and prepare it for use by a particular customer. The washing process has the added benefit of removing some of the coal’s sulfur content. A preparation plant is usually located on a mine site, although one plant may serve several mines.
Probable reserves.
Reserves for which quantity and grade and/or quality are computed from information similar to that used for proven reserves, but the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced. The degree of assurance, although lower than that for proven reserves, is high enough to assume continuity between points of observation.
Productivity.
As used in this report, refers to clean metric tons of coal produced per underground man hour worked, as published by the MSHA.
Proven reserves.
Reserves for which quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes; grade and/or quality are computed from the results of detailed sampling; and the sites for inspection, sampling and
measurement are spaced so closely and the geologic character is so well defined that size, shape, depth and mineral content of reserves are well-established.
Reclamation.
The process of restoring land and the environment to their original state following mining activities. The process commonly includes “recontouring” or reshaping the land to its approximate original appearance, restoring topsoil and planting native grass and ground covers. Reclamation operations are usually underway before the mining of a particular site is completed. Reclamation is closely regulated by both state and federal law.
Reserve.
That part of a mineral deposit that could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination.
Roof.
The stratum of rock or other mineral above a coal seam; the overhead surface of a coal working place.
Sulfur.
One of the elements present in varying quantities in coal that contributes to environmental degradation when coal is burned. Sulfur dioxide is produced as a gaseous by-product of coal combustion.
Surface mine.
A mine in which the coal lies near the surface and can be extracted by removing the covering layer of soil.
Thermal coal.
Coal used by power plants and industrial steam boilers to produce electricity, steam or both. It generally is lower in BTU heat content and higher in volatile matter than metallurgical coal.
Tons.
A “short” or net ton is equal to 2,000 pounds. A “long” or British ton is equal to 2,240 pounds; a “metric” ton (or “
tonne
”) is approximately 2,205 pounds. Tonnage amounts in this prospectus are stated in short tons, unless otherwise indicated.
Underground mine.
Also known as a “deep” mine. Usually located several hundred feet below the earth’s surface, an underground mine’s coal is removed mechanically and transferred by shuttle car and conveyor to the surface.

The discussion below contains “non-GAAP financial measures.” These are financial measures which either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Specifically, we make use of the non-GAAP financial measure “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted Cost of Produced Coal Sold.” We use Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of our segments and allocate resources to the segments. Adjusted EBITDA does not purport to be an alternative to net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance. We use Adjusted Cost of Produced Coal Sold to distinguish the cost of captive produced coal from the effects of purchased coal, idle costs and acquisition accounting requirements. The presentation of these measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
Management uses non-GAAP financial measures to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. The definition of these non-GAAP measures may be changed periodically by management to adjust for significant items important to an understanding of operating trends. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate, and capital investments.
Included below are reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures.
Overview
We are a large-scale provider of met and thermal coal to a global customer base, operating high-quality, cost-competitive coal mines across two major U.S. coal basins (CAPP and NAPP) along with a robust Trading and Logistics business. As of
June 30, 2019
, our operations consisted of thirty-two active mines and twelve coal preparation and load-out facilities, with approximately 4,520 employees. We produce, process, and sell met coal and thermal coal from operations located in Virginia, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. We also sell coal produced by others, some of which is processed and/or blended with coal produced from our mines prior to resale, with the remainder purchased for resale by our trading operations. As of December 31, 2018, we had 1.3 billion tons of reserves, including 885.5 million tons of proven reserves and 462.9 million tons of probable reserves.
For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, sales of met coal were 3.4 million tons and 3.0 million tons, respectively, and accounted for approximately 53.1% and 69.4%, respectively, of our coal sales volume. Sales of thermal coal were 3.0 million tons and 1.4 million tons, respectively, and accounted for approximately 46.9% and 30.6%, respectively, of our coal sales volume. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, sales of met coal were 6.5 million tons and 5.5 million tons, respectively, and accounted for approximately 52.8% and 67.3%, respectively, of our coal sales volume. Sales of thermal coal were 5.8 million tons and 2.7 million tons, respectively, and accounted for approximately 47.2% and 32.7%, respectively, of our coal sales volume. These results include sales from our Trading and Logistics business.
Our sales of met coal were made primarily to steel companies in the northeastern and midwestern regions of the United States and in several countries in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Our sales of thermal coal were made primarily to large utilities and industrial customers throughout the United States. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 approximately 55.5% and 87.9%, respectively, of our total coal revenues were derived from coal sales made to customers outside the United States. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 approximately 56.0% and 88.0%, respectively, of our total coal revenues were derived from coal sales made to customers outside the United States.
As of
June 30, 2019
, we have four reportable segments: CAPP - Met, CAPP - Thermal, NAPP, and Trading and Logistics. Refer to Note

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
Sales Volume.
We earn revenues primarily through the sale of coal produced at our operations and resale of coal purchased from third parties. During the
three months ended June 30, 2019
, we sold 3.4 million tons of met coal, including 0.4 million
tons from our Trading and Logistics business, and 3.0 million tons of thermal coal. During the
three months ended June 30, 2018
, we sold 3.0 million tons of met coal, including 1.6 million tons from our Trading and Logistics business, and 1.4 million tons of thermal coal. During the
six months ended June 30, 2019
, we sold 6.5 million tons of met coal, including 0.8 million tons from our Trading and Logistics business, and 5.8 million tons of thermal coal, including 0.1 million tons from our Trading and Logistics business. During the
six months ended June 30, 2018
, we sold 5.5 million tons of met coal, including 3.1 million tons from our Trading and Logistics business, and 2.7 million tons of thermal coal.
Sales Agreements
We manage our commodity price risk for coal sales through the use of coal supply agreements. As of August 5, 2019, we expect to ship on sales commitments of approximately
7.0 million
tons of NAPP coal for 2019,
100%
of which is priced at an average realized price per ton of $43.06,
11.8 million
tons of CAPP - Met coal for 2019,
72%
of which is priced at an average realized price per ton of $124.46, and
4.5 million
tons of CAPP - Thermal coal for 2019,
98%
of which is priced at an average realized price per ton of $58.61.
Realized Pricing
.
Our realized price per ton of coal is influenced by many factors that vary by region, including (i) coal quality, which includes energy (heat content), sulfur, ash, volatile matter and moisture content; (ii) differences in market conventions concerning transportation costs and volume measurement; and (iii) regional supply and demand.
|
|
•
|
Coal Quality.
The energy content or heat value of thermal coal is a significant factor influencing coal prices as higher energy coal is more desirable to consumers and typically commands a higher price in the market. The heat value of coal is commonly measured in British thermal units or the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. Coal from the eastern and midwest regions of the United States tends to have a higher heat value than coal found in the western United States. Coal volatility is a significant factor influencing met coal pricing as coal with a lower volatility has historically been more highly valued and typically commands a higher price in the market. The volatility refers to the loss in mass, less moisture, when coal is heated in the absence of air. The volatility of met coal determines the percentage of feed coal that actually becomes coke, known as coke yield, with lower volatility producing a higher coke yield.
|
|
|
•
|
Market Conventions.
Coal sales contracts are priced according to conventions specific to the market into which such coal is to be sold. Our domestic sales contracts are typically priced free on board (“FOB”) at our mines and on a short ton basis. Our international sales contracts are typically priced FOB at the shipping port from which such coal is delivered and on a metric ton basis. Accordingly, for international sales contracts, we typically bear the cost of transportation from our mines to the applicable outbound shipping port, and our coal sales realization per ton calculation reflects the conversion of such tonnage from metric tons into short tons, as well as the elimination of the freight and handling fulfillment component of coal sales revenue. In addition, for domestic sales contracts, as customers typically bear the cost of transportation from our mines, our operations located further away from the end user of the coal may command lower prices.
|
|
|
•
|
Regional Supply and Demand.
Our realized price per ton is influenced by market forces of the regional market into which such coal is to be sold. Market pricing may vary according to region and lead to different discounts or premiums to the most directly comparable benchmark price for such coal product.
|
Costs.
Our results of operations are dependent upon our ability to improve productivity and control costs. Our primary expenses are for operating supply costs, repair and maintenance expenditures, cost of purchased coal, royalties, current wages and benefits, freight and handling costs and taxes incurred in selling our coal. Principal goods and services we use in our operations include maintenance and repair parts and services, electricity, fuel, roof control and support items, explosives, tires, conveyance structure, ventilation supplies and lubricants.
Our cost of coal sales includes idle and closed mine costs and purchased coal costs. Additionally due to the Merger, our cost of coal sales includes the cost impact of coal inventory fair value adjustments. In the following tables, we calculate adjusted cost of produced coal sold as cost of coal sales less idle and closed mine costs, cost impact of coal inventory fair value adjustments and purchased coal costs.

Our management strives to aggressively control costs and improve operating performance to mitigate external cost pressures. We experience volatility in operating costs related to fuel, explosives, steel, tires, contract services and healthcare, among others, and take measures to mitigate the increases in these costs at all operations. We have a centralized sourcing group for major supplier contract negotiation and administration, for the negotiation and purchase of major capital goods, and to support the business units. We promote competition between suppliers and seek to develop relationships with suppliers that focus on lowering our costs. We seek suppliers who identify and concentrate on implementing continuous improvement opportunities within their area of expertise. To the extent upward pressure on costs exceeds our ability to realize sales increases, or if we experience unanticipated operating or transportation difficulties, our operating margins would be negatively impacted. We may also experience difficult geologic conditions, delays in obtaining permits, labor shortages, unforeseen equipment problems, and unexpected shortages of critical materials such as tires, fuel and explosives that may result in adverse cost increases and limit our ability to produce at forecasted levels.

Coal Operations
We extract, process and market met and thermal coal from surface and deep mines for sale to electric utilities, steel and coke producers, and industrial customers. The Company conducts mining operations only in the United States with mines in Northern and Central Appalachia.
Our CAPP - Met operations consist of high-quality met coal mines, including Deep Mine 41 and Road Fork 52, which predominantly produce low-ash met coal, including High-Vol. A, High-Vol. B, Mid-Vol., and Low-Vol., which are shipped to domestic and international coke and steel producers. While the CAPP - Met operations is predominantly met coal, it also produces some amounts of thermal coal as a byproduct of mining. CAPP - Met operations consist of eight active mines and two preparation plants in Virginia, seventeen active mines and six preparation plants in West Virginia, as well as expenses associated with certain closed mines.
Our CAPP - Thermal operations consist of surface and underground thermal coal mines primarily producing low sulfur, high BTU thermal coal for electricity generation, as well as specialty coal for industrial customers, with some met coal byproduct. CAPP - Thermal consists of six active mines and three preparation plants in West Virginia.
Our NAPP operations produce primarily high-BTU thermal coal. This thermal coal has metallurgical properties, but it is higher in sulfur content than typical products sold in the metallurgical coal market. Limited volumes can be placed in the metallurgical coal market where customers have the flexibility to accommodate quantities of higher sulfur coal in their coking coal blends. Our thermal coal is primarily sold to the domestic power generation industry. Our NAPP operations consist of one active mine in Pennsylvania and one preparation plant, as well as expenses associated with one closed mine.
Our All Other category is not included in our Coal Operations results of operations as it includes general corporate overhead and corporate assets and liabilities and the elimination of certain intercompany activity.

Coal margin per ton for our coal operations is calculated as coal sales realization per ton for our coal operations less cost of coal sales per ton for our coal operations.
Cost of coal sales.
CAPP - Met operations cost of coal sales increased
$170.9 million
, or
191.5%
, for the
three months ended June 30, 2019
compared to the prior year period. The increase in CAPP - Met operations cost of coal sales was primarily due to increases to salaries and wages expense, supplies and maintenance expense, and royalties and taxes related to properties acquired in the Merger, partially offset by an increase in inventory resulting in lower cost of coal sales.
CAPP - Thermal operations cost of coal sales were
$61.7 million
during the current year period. CAPP - Thermal operations cost of coal sales consisted of
1.2 million
tons sold at a coal margin per ton of
$9.90
per ton. The CAPP - Thermal cost of coal sales were primarily comprised of supplies and maintenance expenses, salaries and wages expenses and royalties and taxes.
NAPP operations cost of coal sales decreased
$8.8 million
, or
13.9%
, for the
three months ended June 30, 2019
compared to the prior year period. The decrease in NAPP operations cost of coal sales was primarily due to decreases in inventory costs and supplies and maintenance expense, partially offset by an increase in salaries and wages expense.
Trading and Logistics Operations
Trading and Logistics operations focuses on coal trading and coal terminal facility services. Our coal trading business primarily purchases met coal from domestic producers and sells into international markets. Such purchases are predominantly made pursuant to long-term agreements, but we also purchase coal on the spot market when it is advantageous to our business. In March 2017, we increased our stake in the DTA coal export terminal from 40.6% to 65.0%, which provides us with 14 million tons of export capacity. Purchasing coal produced by various CAPP operators allows us to leverage our export capacity at DTA. Our logistics platform complements our met coal operations by blending captive and third-party coal at DTA to achieve a broader portfolio of coal qualities. We typically build in margin for transportation fees, overhead, risk and profit when purchasing third-party coal. Additionally, we sell capacity to third-party operators via throughput contracts. The Trading and Logistics business provides us with a larger presence in international markets and further diversifies and expands our revenue sources.

compared to the prior year period due to lower sales volumes of
1.3 million
tons, primarily related to decreased sales of coal purchased from the Alpha Companies during the current period as a result of the Merger.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA
Segment Adjusted EBITDA for our reportable segments is a financial measure. This non-GAAP financial measure is presented as a supplemental measure and is not intended to replace financial performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, this measure is not calculated identically by all companies and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it is a useful indicator of the financial performance of our coal operations. The following tables present a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the
three months ended June 30, 2019
and 2018:

During the fourth quarter of 2017, we entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell a disposal group (comprised of property, plant and equipment and associated asset retirement obligations) within our CAPP - Met segment. From the date we entered into the asset purchase agreement through the transaction close date, the property, plant and equipment and associated asset retirement obligations were classified as held for sale in amounts representing the fair value of the disposal group. Upon permit transfer, the transaction closed on April 2, 2018. We paid
$10.0 million
in connection with the transaction, which was paid into escrow on March 27, 2018 and transferred to the buyer at the transaction close date, and expects to pay a series of additional cash payments in the aggregate amount of
$1.5 million
, per the terms stated in the agreement, and recorded a gain on sale of
$16.4 million
within other expenses (income) within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

CAPP - Met operations.
Adjusted EBITDA increased
$50.6 million
, or
80.1%
, for the
three months ended June 30, 2019
compared to the prior year period. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by increased sales volumes during the current period as a result of the Merger, partially offset by decreased coal margin per ton of
$16.30
, or approximately
30.7%
, and increased costs associated with purchased coal during the current period.
CAPP - Thermal operations.
Adjusted EBITDA for the CAPP - Thermal operations was
$11.0 million
for the
three months ended June 30, 2019
. The prior year period did not have any activity in this segment and therefore the current year results explain the entire amount of change.
NAPP operations.
Adjusted EBITDA increased
$12.4 million
, or
139.3%
, for the
three months ended June 30, 2019
compared to the prior year period. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to increased coal sales in the current year period and increased coal margin per ton of
$7.73
, or approximately
167.0%
.
Trading and Logistics operations.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased
$14.1 million
, or
60.3%
, for the
three months ended June 30, 2019
compared to the prior year period. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to decreased sales of coal purchased from the Alpha Companies during the current period as a result of the Merger.
All Other category.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased
$5.3 million
, or
56.4%
, for the
three months ended June 30, 2019
compared to the prior year period. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by increases in costs associated with idled properties acquired in the Merger and increases in professional services fees and wages and benefits expense, partially offset by a gain on sale of assets during the period.

Cost of coal sales.
Cost of coal sales increased
$210.4 million
, or
26.2%
, for the
six months ended June 30, 2019
compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by salaries and wages expense, supplies and maintenance expense, and royalties and taxes related to properties acquired in the Merger, partially offset by decreased costs of purchased coal during the current period.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased
$101.3 million
, or
444.0%
, for the
six months ended June 30, 2019
compared to the prior year period. The increase in depreciation, depletion and amortization primarily related to increased purchases of machinery and equipment, increased asset development during the current period, and additions of property, plant and equipment and owned and leased mineral rights as a result of the Merger.
Accretion on asset retirement obligations.
Accretion on asset retirement obligations increased
$9.0 million
or
222.5%
, for the
six months ended June 30, 2019
compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to an increase in our asset retirement obligations as a result of the Merger.
Amortization of acquired intangibles, net.
Amortization of acquired intangibles, net decreased
$18.3 million
, or
162.1%
, for the
six months ended June 30, 2019
compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by the current period amortization related to below-market acquired intangibles acquired as a result of the Merger.
Asset impairment
. We recorded asset impairment of
$5.8 million
during the
six months ended June 30, 2019
. Asset impairment primarily related to the write-off of prepaid purchased coal from Blackjewel due to Blackjewel’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing on July 1, 2019. Refer to Note
19
for further details within subsequent event disclosures.
Selling, general and administrative.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased
$4.6 million
, or
14.9%
for the
six months ended June 30, 2019
compared to the prior year period. This increase in expense was primarily related to increases of $3.7 million in wages and benefits expense and $4.0 million in professional fees, partially offset by decreases of $4.2 million in stock compensation expense during the current period.
Merger related costs.
Merger related costs decreased
$2.9 million
, or
74.6%
, for the
six months ended June 30, 2019
compared to the prior year period. The costs related primarily to professional fees, severance pay and incentive pay incurred related to the Merger Agreement entered into with the Alpha Companies on April 29, 2018.
Mark-to-market adjustment for acquisition-related obligations.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2019
we recorded a mark-to-market adjustment for acquisition-related obligations of
$3.0 million
related to the Contingent Revenue Obligation assumed as a result of the Merger.
Other income.
Other income decreased by
$9.0 million
or
54.7%
for the
six months ended June 30, 2019
compared to the prior year period. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded a gain on assets acquired in an exchange transaction of $9.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a gain on disposal of assets of $16.5 million primarily related to the sale of a disposal group within the Company’s CAPP - Met segment.

compared to the prior year period, primarily due to higher interest rates and larger accretion of debt discounts related to the debt facilities in place during the current period. Refer to Note
10
for additional information.
Loss on modification and extinguishment of debt.
During the
six months ended June 30, 2019
, we recorded a loss on modification of debt of
$0.3 million
, primarily related to modification fees paid under the refinance, and a loss on
extinguishment of debt of $26.2 million, primarily related to the write-off of outstanding debt discounts and unamortized debt issuance costs under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated November 9, 2018. Refer to Note
10
for additional information.

Income taxes.
Income tax benefit of
$5.8 million
was recorded for the
six months ended June 30, 2019
on income from continuing operations before income taxes of
$26.5 million
. The effective tax rate is lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of the percentage depletion allowance, the permanent impact of stock-based compensation deductions, and the reduction in the valuation allowance.
Income tax expense of
$0.1 million
was recorded for the
six months ended June 30, 2018
on income from continuing operations before income taxes of
$133.1 million
. The effective tax rate is lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of the percentage depletion allowance and the reduction in the valuation allowance, partially offset by the impact of state income taxes, net of federal tax impact. Refer to Note
14
for additional information.

Coal margin per ton for our coal operations is calculated as coal sales realization per ton for our coal operations less cost of coal sales per ton for our coal operations.
Cost of coal sales.
CAPP - Met operations cost of coal sales increased
$353.9 million
, or
213.2%
, for the
six months ended June 30, 2019
compared to the prior year period. The increase in CAPP - Met operations cost of coal sales was primarily due to increases to salaries and wages expense, supplies and maintenance expense, and royalties and taxes related to properties acquired in the Merger, partially offset by an increase in inventory resulting in lower cost of coal sales.
CAPP - Thermal operations cost of coal sales were
$126.8 million
during the current year period. CAPP - Thermal operations cost of coal sales consisted of
2.2 million
tons sold at a coal margin per ton of
$1.83
per ton. The CAPP - Thermal cost of coal sales were primarily comprised of supplies and maintenance expenses, salaries and wages expenses and royalties and taxes.
NAPP operations cost of coal sales increased
$4.3 million
, or
3.7%
, for the
six months ended June 30, 2019
compared to the prior year period. The increase in NAPP operations cost of coal sales was primarily due to an increase in salaries and wages expense and supplies and maintenance expense, partially offset by an increase in inventory resulting in lower cost of coal sales.

Prior periods have been modified to reflect total coal revenues and total cost of coal sales including freight and handling components formerly stated separately.
Coal revenues decreased
$320.5 million
, or
54.8%
, and cost of coal sales decreased by
$276.8 million
, or
53.4%
, for the
six months ended June 30, 2019
compared to the prior year period due to lower sales volumes of
2.3 million
tons, primarily related to decreased sales of coal purchased from the Alpha Companies during the current period as a result of the Merger.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA
Segment Adjusted EBITDA for our reportable segments is a financial measure. This non-GAAP financial measure is presented as a supplemental measure and is not intended to replace financial performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, this measure is not calculated identically by all companies and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it is a useful indicator of the financial performance of our coal operations. The following tables present a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the
six months ended June 30, 2019
and 2018:

During the fourth quarter of 2017, we entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell a disposal group (comprised of property, plant and equipment and associated asset retirement obligations) within our CAPP - Met segment. From the date we entered into the asset purchase agreement through the transaction close date, the property, plant and equipment and associated asset retirement obligations were classified as held for sale in amounts representing the fair value of the disposal group. Upon permit transfer, the transaction closed on April 2, 2018. We paid
$10.0 million
in connection with the transaction, which was paid into escrow on March 27, 2018 and transferred to the buyer at the transaction close date, and expects to pay a series of additional cash payments in the aggregate amount of
$1.5 million
, per the terms stated in the agreement, and recorded a gain on sale of
$16.4 million
within other expenses (income) within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

CAPP - Met operations.
Adjusted EBITDA increased
$84.4 million
, or
69.7%
, for the
six months ended June 30, 2019
compared to the prior year period. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by increased sales volumes during the current period as a result of the Merger, partially offset by decreased coal margin per ton of
$22.52
, or approximately
39.9%
, and increased costs associated with purchased coal during the current period.
CAPP - Thermal operations.
Adjusted EBITDA for the CAAP - Thermal operations was
$6.8 million
for the
six months ended June 30, 2019
. The prior year period did not have any activity in this segment and therefore the current year results explain the entire amount of change. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the primary driver for adjusted EBITDA related to ventilation factors negatively impacting production. These ventilation factors were corrected during the during the
three months ended June 30, 2019
.
NAPP operations.
Adjusted EBITDA increased
$7.9 million
, or
43.2%
, for the
six months ended June 30, 2019
compared to the prior year period. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to increased sales volumes during the current period and increased coal margin per ton of
$2.53
, or approximately
50.6%
.
Trading and Logistics operations.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased
$46.9 million
, or
70.9%
, for the
six months ended June 30, 2019
compared to the prior year period. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to decreased sales of coal purchased from the Alpha Companies during the current period as a result of the Merger.
All Other category.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased
$13.0 million
, or
64.1%
, for the
six months ended June 30, 2019
compared to the prior year period. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by increases in costs associated with idled properties acquired in the Merger and increases in professional services fees and wages and benefits expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary liquidity and capital resource requirements stem from the cost of our coal production and purchases, our capital expenditures, our debt service, our reclamation obligations, our regulatory costs and settlements and associated costs. Our primary sources of liquidity are derived from sales of coal, our debt financing and miscellaneous revenues.
We believe that cash on hand and cash generated from our operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements, anticipated capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisition-related obligations, and reclamation obligations for the next 12 months. We have relied on a number of assumptions in budgeting for our future activities. These include the costs for mine development to sustain capacity of our operating mines, our cash flows from operations, effects of regulation and taxes by governmental agencies, mining technology improvements and reclamation costs. These assumptions are inherently subject to significant business, political, economic, regulatory, environmental and competitive uncertainties, contingencies and risks, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. We may need to raise additional funds more quickly if market conditions deteriorate, and we may not be able to do so in a timely fashion, or at all; or one or more of our assumptions proves to be incorrect or if we choose to expand our acquisition, exploration, appraisal, or development efforts or any other activity more rapidly than we presently anticipate. We may decide to raise additional funds before we need them if the conditions for raising capital are favorable. We may seek to sell equity or debt securities or obtain additional bank credit facilities. The sale of equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of additional indebtedness could result in increased fixed obligations and additional covenants that could restrict our operations.
At
June 30, 2019
, we had total liquidity of $435.1 million, including cash and cash equivalents of
$249.6 million
and $185.5 million of unused commitments available under the Amended and Restated Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement, subject to limitations described therein. On June 14, 2019, we entered into a $561.8 million Term Loan Credit Facility under the Credit Agreement. On November 9, 2018, we entered into a $225.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility under the Amended and Restated Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement expiring on April 3, 2022. Refer to Note
10
for disclosures on long-term debt.
We sponsor three qualified non-contributory pension plans (“Pension Plans”) which cover certain salaried and non-union hourly employees. Participants accrued benefits either based on certain formulas, the participant’s compensation prior to retirement or plan specified amounts for each year of service. Benefits are frozen under these Pension Plans. Annual funding contributions to the Pension Plans are made as recommended by consulting actuaries based upon the ERISA funding standards. Funding decisions also consider certain funded status thresholds defined by the Pension Protection Act of 2006. We expect to contribute $7.0 million to the Pension Plans in the remainder of 2019. Refer to Note
15
for further disclosures related to this obligation.
To secure our obligations under certain worker’s compensation, black lung, reclamation-related obligations, general liabilities, and financial guarantees, we are required to provide cash collateral. At
June 30, 2019
, we had cash collateral in the amounts of $250.8 million, $11.6 million, and $17.8 million classified as short-term and long-term restricted cash, short-term and long-term deposits, and long-term restricted investments, respectively, on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As the permits associated with the PRB Transaction have not transferred due to the Blackjewel Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing on
July 1, 2019, we no longer anticipate the related restricted cash and deposits will be returned in the near term to operating cash. Refer to Note
19
for further details within subsequent event disclosures.
Capital Return Program
During the three months ended June 30, 2019, our board of directors adopted a capital return program that permits us to return to stockholders up to an aggregate amount of $250 million of capital. The capital return program does not have a fixed expiration date, and returns of capital may take the form of share repurchases, dividends or a combination thereof. Any share repurchases may be made from time to time through open market transactions, block trades, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, or otherwise. Any returns of capital under the program will be at the discretion of the board and are subject to market and business conditions, levels of available liquidity, our cash needs, restrictions under agreements or obligations, legal or regulatory requirements or restrictions, and other relevant factors. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, there was no activity under the Capital Return Program.
Blackjewel Developments
On July 1, 2019, Blackjewel announced that it and certain affiliated entities had filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of West Virginia. Subsequently, on July 10, 2019, the Wyoming Environmental Quality Council (the “EQC”) stayed the transfer process of the still outstanding permits from Contura Coal West to Blackjewel to allow the EQC time to review these developments. On July 25, 2019, we announced that we would seek to serve as the stalking horse purchaser for certain assets offered for sale through Blackjewel’s bankruptcy proceedings, and on August 6, 2019, the federal bankruptcy judge in the Southern District of West Virginia verbally approved the Company’s purchase of the Eagle Butte and Belle Ayr mines in Wyoming and the Pax Surface Mine in Scarbro, West Virginia for $33.75 million. Closing of the transaction is subject to the Company, Blackjewel’s debtor estate and additional relevant parties in the bankruptcy proceedings (including federal and state governmental agencies) reaching an agreement as to the payment of certain pre-petition claims and entry of a final order by the court. The EQC has taken no additional action since July 10, 2019.
Subject to terms of the bankruptcy order approving Contura’s purchase of the Eagle Butte and Belle Ayr mines in Wyoming and the Pax Surface Mine, we made a purchase deposit of $8.1 million on July 26, 2019 which will be applied to the purchase price in accordance with the preliminary term sheet. Pursuant to preliminary term sheet, we also expect to assume other obligations in connection with the purchase.
As a result of the Blackjewel Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, we increased our asset retirement obligation within discontinued operations. Refer to the Contractual Obligations section for information on our estimated undiscounted cash flows for asset retirement obligations as of June 30, 2019, which are based on the information currently available. The estimates and assumptions used to determine the asset retirement obligation as of June 30, 2019 will continue to be evaluated and updated as additional information becomes available in subsequent periods.

Analysis of Material Debt Covenants
We were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement and the Amended and Restated Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement, as of
June 30, 2019
. A breach of the covenants in the Credit Agreement and the Amended and Restated Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement could result in a default under the terms of the agreement and the respective lenders could elect to declare all amounts borrowed due and payable.
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement, during any Liquidity Period (capitalized terms as defined in the Amended and Restated Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement), our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio cannot be less than 1.0 as of the last day of any Test Period, commencing with the Test Period ended immediately preceding the
commencement of such Liquidity Period. The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is calculated as (a) Consolidated EBITDA of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period, minus non-financed Capital Expenditures (including Capital Expenditures financed with the proceeds of any Loans) paid or payable currently in cash by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for such period to (b) the Fixed Charges of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries during such period. As of

Other
As a regular part of our business, we review opportunities for, and engage in discussions and negotiations concerning, the acquisition or disposition of coal mining and related infrastructure assets and interests in coal mining companies, and acquisitions or dispositions of, or combinations or other strategic transactions involving companies with coal mining or other energy assets. When we believe that these opportunities are consistent with our strategic plans and our acquisition or disposition criteria, we will make bids or proposals and/or enter into letters of intent and other similar agreements. These bids or proposals, which may be binding or non-binding, are customarily subject to a variety of conditions and usually permit us to terminate the discussions and any related agreement if, among other things, we are not satisfied with the results of due diligence. Any acquisition opportunities we pursue could materially affect our liquidity and capital resources and may require us to incur indebtedness, seek equity capital or both. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
Contractual Obligations
Our contractual obligations relating to the contingent revenue obligation increased during the
six months ended June 30, 2019

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors and assumptions, including the current economic environment that we believe 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. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and adjust such estimates and assumptions as facts and circumstances require. Foreign currency and energy markets, and fluctuations in demand for steel products have combined to increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in these estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.
Goodwill.
Global economic weakness and in particular deterioration or weakness for an extended period of time in the global metallurgical coal market, as well as other factors that could result in adverse changes in the key assumptions described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, could lead to a reduction in the fair value of the reporting unit. Accordingly, the goodwill associated with this reporting unit may be at risk for impairment charges.
