BIRMINGHAM, AL--(Marketwire - November 05, 2012) - Walter Energy Inc. WLT WLT
Reports net loss of $1.1 billion including non-cash impairment charges
Reports third quarter revenues of $612 million; Adjusted EBITDA of $117 million
Earns adjusted net income of $30 million, excluding impairment charges
Produces 3.33 million metric tons of metallurgical coal, up 47% from third quarter 2011
Walter Energy Inc. WLT WLT, the world's leading, publicly traded "pure-play" producer of metallurgical (met) coal for the global steel industry, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012.
Revenues were $612 million in the third quarter of 2012 down from $689 million in the third quarter of 2011 due principally to lower pricing and softening world demand. In the third quarter of 2012, the Company reported a net loss of $1.1 billion or $16.97 loss per diluted share. This loss includes estimated 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 charge of $40 million associated with the abandonment of a natural gas exploration project. Adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA excluding these non-cash charges were $29.8 million or $0.48 per share and $117 million, respectively. Results for the third quarter also included a $41 million tax benefit.
"Our operational results in the third quarter were encouraging as we improved metallurgical coal production 14% as compared to the second quarter, while lowering cash costs of production," said Walt Scheller, Chief Executive Officer. "However, the recovery in the global economy and metallurgical coal markets is uncertain. As a result we are focusing on achieving further cost reductions, tightly managing capital spending and reducing marginal production in order to improve our results and be well positioned going into 2013."
Metallurgical Sales Volume and Pricing
Third quarter of 2012 met coal sales volume including both hard coking coal (HCC) and low-volatility (low-vol) PCI was 2.62 million metric tons (MMTs), or 8% less than in the second quarter. Sales were impacted by weaker worldwide demand and excess supply. HCC sales volume was 2.18 MMTs in the third quarter of 2012 compared to 2.29 MMTs in the second quarter. PCI sales volume was 0.44 MMTs, down from 0.55 MMTs in the prior quarter.
The average third quarter 2012 selling price of HCC (primarily low-vol and mid-vol) was $198 per metric ton (MT), which was slightly lower than the second quarter's average price of $201 per MT. The average selling price for low-vol PCI was $160 per MT as compared to $164 per MT in the second quarter.
Metallurgical Coal Production
Met coal production was 3.33 MMTs in the third quarter of 2012, comprised of 2.37 MMTs of HCC and 0.96 MMTs of low-vol PCI. Met coal production increased 47% from the 2.27 MMTs produced in the third quarter 2011 and was 14% higher than the 2.91 MMTs produced in the second quarter of 2012.
Canadian operations increased production to a quarterly record 1.61 MMTs in the third quarter of 2012, compared to 1.19 MMTs in the second quarter. Weak worldwide demand for PCI coal, however, resulted in a significant increase in the Company's inventory levels in the third quarter. The Company plans on reducing production and inventory during the fourth quarter.
Cash Cost of Sales
The consolidated cash cost of sales for HCC was $122 per MT in the third quarter compared to $115 per MT in the second quarter of 2012. In U.S. operations, the cash cost of sales for HCC increased to $119 per MT in the third quarter, up from $107 per MT in the second quarter. The U.S. operations sold a higher proportion of higher cost Mine No 4 production in the quarter which had a negative impact on cost per MT. In Canada, the cash costs of sales for HCC decreased 2% to $142 per MT in the third quarter of 2012, as compared with $144 per MT in the second quarter of 2012.
Cash cost of sales for low-vol PCI decreased 16% to $183 per MT in the third quarter of 2012 as compared with $218 per MT in the second quarter 2012. The Willow Creek development mine represented 21% of the low-vol PCI production and had average cash cost of sales of $290 per MT in the third quarter. As the Willow Creek mine completed the majority of its development work in the third quarter of 2012, costs at this mine are expected to decline materially going forward.
Capital Expenditures
The Company's capital expenditures were $85 million for the third quarter of 2012 and $331 million for the first nine months of 2012. For 2013, the Company currently expects capital expenditures of approximately $220 million.
Liquidity
At the end of the third quarter 2012, available liquidity was $297 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $130 million plus $167 million of availability under the Company's $375 million revolving credit facility.
Safety and Stewardship Highlights
Walter Energy's emphasis on safety continues to show results as the majority of locations are achieving lower total reportable injury rates. On a consolidated basis Walter's total reportable injury rate has decreased by 22% on a year-to-date basis as compared with 2011.
Walter is also pleased to report that in September 2012 the coal processing facility at Mine No. 4 in Alabama received a certificate of achievement in safety entitled Sentinels of Safety Award sponsored by the National Mining Association for its outstanding safety record. The processing facility achieved 156,217 employee hours worked without a lost workday injury.

diluted earnings per share increased by $0.18 per share.
(2) The 2011 third quarter includes $6.1 million of costs associated with
the acquisition of Western Coal.
(3) The 2012 third quarter includes a goodwill impairment charge of $1.1
billion and an impairment charge of $40.0 million associated with the
abandonment of a natural gas exploration project.
(4) The 2012 and 2011 third quarters primarily consist of losses on the sale

(5) The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $41.2 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to a tax provision of
$30.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. For the
2012 third quarter, the Company determined the current year income tax
provision for Canada, U.K. and West Virginia operations using actual
year-to-date financial results as compared to the estimated annual
effective tax rate method utilized in 2011 resulting in a tax benefit.
The current year income tax provision for the Alabama operations
continues to be based upon an estimated annual effective tax rate
method. The decrease in income tax expense is primarily due to the
pretax operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as
compared to pretax operating income for the same period of 2011.
(6) 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

(2) Average Cash Cost 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 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 Cash
Cost per Ton is a useful measure as our management uses that as a
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.

(4) Production and Average Cash Cost per Ton for our Willow Creek mining
operations are separately provided for the current quarter as the Willow
Creek mine is in the development stage and is experiencing higher
average cash cost per ton than the other Canada mines.
(5) During the current quarter, in our Canadian and U.K. operations certain
metrics around tons included production were realigned to align with how
we account for production in the U.S. operations. Historically, the
Canadian and U.K. operations were not recording tons produced until they
were deemed finished goods. We have revised this methodology to include
all tons mined, no matter if in process or finished, as produced based
on a clean coal tonnage equivalent. The reconciliation below provides a
comparison of production statistics of the earlier methodology as
compared with the realigned methodology from the Western Coal
acquisition date of April 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012 (in thousands

(1) Includes the results of Western Coal since the April 1, 2011 date of
acquisition. Certain previously reported three and nine months ended
September 30, 2011 balances have been recast to reflect the effects of
finalizing the allocation of the Western Coal purchase price during the
2012 first quarter.
(2) EBITDA from continuing operations is defined as earnings excluding
discontinued operations before interest expense, interest income, income
taxes, and depreciation and depletion expense.
(3) EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest expense, interest income,
income taxes, and depreciation and depletion expense. EBITDA 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 is a
useful measure as some investors and analysts use EBITDA to compare us
against other companies and to help analyze our ability to satisfy
principal and interest obligations and capital expenditure needs. EBITDA
may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other
entities.
(4) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding impairment charges.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and items excluded from
Adjusted EBITDA are significant 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.
(5) Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) excluding
income from discontinued operations, net of tax, and impairment charges.
Adjusted net income (loss) is not a measure of financial performance in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and items
excluded from Adjusted net income (loss) are significant in
understanding and assessing our financial condition. Therefore, Adjusted
net income (loss) should not be considered in isolation, nor as an
alternative to net income (loss) under generally accepted accounting
principles.
