Ramaco Resources, Inc.
財務報表未審計的附註
備註1—業務和展示基礎
Ramaco Resources,Inc.(下文中簡稱「公司」、「Ramaco」、「我們」或「我們的」)是一家成立於2016年10月的特拉華州註冊公司。我們的總公司和執行辦公室位於肯塔基州列克星頓,業務辦公室分佈在西弗吉尼亞州夏利斯頓和懷俄明州謝里登。我們是南西弗吉尼亞和西南弗吉尼亞地區高品質、低成本冶金煤的運營商和開發商。我們還控制着懷俄明州謝里登附近的礦產儲量,作爲公司關於潛在的稀土元素和重要礦產的開採計劃的一部分,以及煤炭轉化爲碳基產品和材料的潛在商業化。
報告範圍這些中期財務報表是未經審計的,並根據SEC關於中期財務報告的規定編制。某些披露已在這些財務報表中進行了概述或省略。因此,它們不包括所有根據美國通用會計準則(「GAAP」)對完整合並財務報表和相關附註所要求的所有信息和附註,應結合我們截至2023年12月31日的年度10-k表格中載明的審計合併財務報表和相關附註一起閱讀。
據公司看法,隨附的未經審計簡明合併財務報表包括所有必要的調整,僅包括正常循環調整,以便公正陳述截至2024年9月30日公司財務狀況以及所呈現的所有時期的經營業績和現金流量。在編制隨附的財務報表時,管理層已作出影響簡明合併財務報表和相關事項披露的報告金額的某些估計和假設。實際結果可能與這些估計有所不同。中期時段的結果未必指示年度結果。合併實體之間的內部往來餘額和交易已予以消除。
在截至2024年9月30日的九個月內,公司的重大會計政策沒有發生重大變化。
最近的會計聲明2023年11月,財務會計準則委員會(「FASB」)發佈了會計準則更新(「ASU」)2023-07號。 分部報告(主題 280):報告服務部門(主題 280)變更披露方式,通過升級對意義重大的分部費用的披露來改進分部報告披露要求。該準則適用於 2023 年 12 月 15 日之後的財年和 2024 年 12 月 15 日之後的財年間隔期。該準則必須適用於財務報表中呈現的所有期間的追溯。該公司目前正在評估該標準對合並財務報表的影響。 (「ASU 2023-07」)。ASU 2023-07中的修訂要求增加了與上市實體的報告分部有關的額外披露,並增加了大多數分部披露的頻率。ASU要求的額外披露包括定期向首席經營決策者(「CODM」)提供的重要分部費用,並納入分部利潤或損失的計量內,CODM的頭銜和職位,以及CODM如何使用報告的分部利潤或損失衡量績效和分配資源的解釋,以及用來協調分部收入、重要費用和報告的利潤或損失的其他分部項目的金額和構成。ASU還擴展了中期披露要求,使幾乎所有年度定量分部披露都將在中期基礎上進行,並要求只有一個可報告分部的實體提供所有未在主要財務報表中明顯的分部披露,包括重要分部費用,與管理評估績效的方法一致。ASU 2023-07自Ramaco的2024年度財務報表起生效,並以後每季度進行。要求進行追溯應用。公司目前正在評估ASU的影響;但是,增加的披露可能在採用後發生。
2023年12月,FASB發佈了ASU 2023-09,所得稅(主題740):改進所得稅披露。該標準要求上市的業務實體在每年披露稅率調節表的特定類別,併爲滿足數量門限的調節項目提供其他信息(如果這些調節項目的影響相當於或大於將稅前收入(或損失)與適用的法定所得稅率相乘所得金額的5%)。它還要求所有實體每年披露按聯邦、州和外國稅種分解的所支付的所得稅(扣除退款),以及按所支付的所得稅(扣除退款)在個別司法管轄區分解的金額,當所支付的所得稅(扣除退款)相當於或大於所支付的總所得稅(扣除退款)的5%時。最後,該標準取消了要求所有實體披露未識別稅務負債餘額在未來12個月內合理可能變動範圍的性質和估計,或聲明無法估算範圍的要求。該標準對公司自2026年1月1日開始的年度適用。可以提前採納該標準。該標準應以前瞻性基礎應用。允許追溯適用。公司目前正在評估該標準可能對其財務報表產生的影響。 《ASU 2023-09》中的修訂要求報告實體披露年度所支付的淨所得稅(扣除退款),按聯邦、州和外國稅額細分,併爲達到或超過淨所得稅總額5%的個別司法管轄區提供額外的細分信息。《ASU 2023-09》還要求上市公司在其年度稅率協調錶中披露有關聯邦、州和外國所得稅的額外類別信息,並在某些類別的情況下提供更多信息。
9
定量門檻已達到。ASU還將要求披露金額 and 在年度利率調節表中以百分比爲單位,而不是金額 or 百分比,並將取消與不確定稅務事項和未確認遞延稅債務相關的某些現有披露要求。ASU 2023-09自Ramaco的2025年年度財務報表起生效,並可前瞻性地適用於僅提供2025年所需的所得稅披露,或通過爲所有提出的週期提供修訂後的披露來追溯性地提供。允許提前採納。公司目前正在評估ASU的影響;但是,在採納後,公司很可能會在2025年的年度財務報表中前瞻性地提供額外披露。
2024年11月,即財務報表日期之後,FASB發佈了ASU 2024-03。 收入表格-綜合收入報告-費用細分披露(專題220-40):收入表格費用的細分 (「ASU 2024-03」)。 ASU 2024-03的修改要求上市公司在財務報表附註中披露,包括關於某些成本和費用的特定信息,包括庫存購買、員工薪酬以及折舊、攤銷和減值費用等方面在其中的費用的每個標題。ASU 2024-03自公司2027年起的年度財務報表開始生效,並隨後每季度生效。可以提前採納,並且修訂可能按照前瞻性適用於生效日期後的報告期間,或者按照回顧性適用於財務報表中呈現的所有期間。公司目前正在評估ASU可能對其披露產生的影響程度。

NOTE 10—EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Earnings per share (“EPS”) is not presented retrospectively for periods prior to the issuance of the tracking stock as the tracking stock was not a part of the Company’s capital structure during those periods and the issuance of the tracking stock changes the common shareholders’ relative residual interest in the Company. Therefore, EPS is presented for the Company’s single class of common stock up to the time the tracking stock was issued and, subsequent to this date, EPS is presented prospectively under the two-class method.
The computation of basic and diluted EPS is shown on the following page:

Unvested restricted stock awards have the right to receive nonforfeitable dividends on the same basis as common shares; therefore, unvested restricted stock is considered a participating security for the purpose of calculating EPS. Prior to the initial distribution of Class B common stock in the second quarter of 2023, the Company showed EPS for its common stock and unvested restricted stock on a combined basis since both instruments participate on the same basis and the resulting EPS is typically the same. Starting under the two-class method, the Company reports separately the net earnings allocated away from holders of Class A and Class B common stock to holders of unvested restricted stock awards.
For accounting purposes, Class B’s participation rights in net earnings are, in substance, discretionary based on the power of the Company’s Board of Directors to add or modify expense allocation policies, redefine CORE assets, and redetermine CORE’s per-ton usage fees at any time, in its sole discretion, without shareholder approval. Therefore, no amount of the Company’s net earnings shall be allocated to Class B for the purpose of calculating EPS other than actual dividends declared during the period for the tracking stock. However, during the three months and nine months ended
Diluted EPS is calculated using the treasury stock method for stock options and restricted stock units. For performance stock units, the awards are first evaluated under the contingently issuable shares guidance, which requires a determination as to whether shares would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period. For shares determined to be issuable under performance stock unit awards, the treasury stock method is then applied to determine the dilutive impact of the awards, if any. Unvested restricted stock awards are considered potential common shares as well as participating securities, as discussed previously, and are included in diluted EPS using the more dilutive of the treasury stock method or the two-class method. Since these awards share in dividends on a
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, diluted EPS for Class A Common stock excluded all outstanding awards of potential common stock because of the allocated net loss discussed above, and, therefore, the inclusion of any potential common shares would be antidilutive.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in our Annual Report, as well as the financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. The forward-looking statements are dependent upon events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside our control. We caution you that our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences are discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, particularly in the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and in our Annual Report and in this Quarterly Report under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” all of which are difficult to predict. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed may not occur. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements except as otherwise required by applicable law.
Overview
We are an operator and developer of high-quality, low-cost metallurgical coal in southern West Virginia and southwestern Virginia. Our development portfolio primarily includes the following properties: Elk Creek, Berwind, Knox Creek, and Maben. We believe each of these properties possesses geologic and logistical advantages that make our coal among the lowest delivered-cost U.S. metallurgical coal to our domestic customer base, North American blast furnace steel mills and coke plants, as well as international metallurgical coal consumers. We also control mineral deposits near Sheridan, Wyoming as part of the Company’s initiatives regarding the potential recovery of rare earth elements and critical minerals as well as the potential commercialization of coal-to-carbon-based products and materials.
Our primary source of revenue is the sale of metallurgical coal. We are a pure-play metallurgical coal company with 59 million reserve tons and 1,119 million measured and indicated resource tons of high-quality metallurgical coal. Our plan is to continue development of our existing properties and grow annual production over the next few years to approximately seven million clean tons of metallurgical coal, subject to market conditions, permitting and additional capital deployment in the medium-term. We may make acquisitions of reserves or infrastructure that continue our focus on advantaged geology and lower costs.
The overall outlook of the metallurgical coal business is dependent on a variety of factors such as pricing, regulatory uncertainties, and global economic conditions. Coal consumption and production in the U.S. is driven by several market dynamics and trends including the U.S. and global economies, the U.S. dollar’s strength relative to other currencies and accelerating production cuts. In addition, blast furnace steelmaking is more prevalent outside the U.S. compared to domestic steel production, which creates demand for exports of metallurgical coal.
Global metallurgical coal markets have softened in 2024 due to constrained economic growth in some regions of the world and continued conflict overseas. The global steel market has experienced slower growth, especially in China, resulting in elevated levels of Chinese steel exports. These conditions have led steel companies to both cut back on their own production and to reduce the price they are willing to pay for their metallurgical coal feedstock. Longer term, the Company believes that limited global investment in new coking coal production capacity and an eventual return to economic growth will support coking coal markets overall.
During the first nine months of 2024, we sold 2.9 million tons of coal and recognized $495.4 million of revenue. Of this amount, 33% of our revenue was from sales into North American markets, including Canada, and 67% of our revenue was from sales into export markets. During the same period of 2023, we sold 2.5 million tons of coal and recognized $490.8 million of revenue, of which 34% was from sales into North American markets, including Canada, and 66% was from sales into export markets. Sales into export markets, which often include index-based pricing, generally have greater exposure to variability in pricing from period to period. The Company’s exports have not been materially delayed or otherwise affected by recent severe weather events or by dockworker labor disputes taking place at U.S. East Coast ports.
21
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had outstanding performance obligations of approximately 1.7 million tons for contracts with fixed sales prices averaging $151 per ton, excluding freight, as well as 1.6 million tons for contracts with index-based pricing mechanisms. The Company expects to satisfy approximately 36% of these commitments in the fourth quarter of 2024, 63% of these commitments in 2025, and the remaining 1% in 2026. Subsequent to the date of the financial statements, the Company obtained additional sales commitments of approximately 0.7 million tons.
The Company continues to assess its potential rare earth and critical minerals deposit in Wyoming and is making progress in terms of initial mine development and related chemical, metallurgical, and mineralogy testing. Analysis performed to date indicates elevated levels of rare earth elements along with significant concentrations of critical minerals Gallium and Germanium. The Company expects to complete its techno-economic analysis of the overall commercial aspects of the opportunity later this year and anticipates beginning construction of a demonstration processing facility in mid to late 2025. Our rare earth elements exploration target is currently in an exploration stage and does not represent, and should not be construed to be, a mineral resource or mineral reserve as such terms are used in subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K. The Company also continues its work to advance new carbon product technologies with the goal of commercializing products that use coal in both an improved economic and environmental manner.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2023
Revenue. Coal sales revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $167.4 million, approximately 10% lower than the same period in 2023 driven by the negative impact of pricing offset partially by the 3% increase in tons sold. The increase in tons sold occurred in export markets, which increased 13% but were offset partially by the decrease in North America volumes. Revenue per ton sold decreased 13% from $188 per ton for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $164 per ton for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and was driven by the variability in index-based pricing for export sales. Revenue per ton sold (FOB mine), a non-GAAP measure which excludes transportation revenues and demurrage, also decreased 13% from $157 per ton for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $136 per ton for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures later in Item 2 for more information regarding this measure. The decrease in the Company’s revenue per ton sold measures was due to the decrease in metallurgical coal prices as U.S. metallurgical coal indices continued to fall in the third quarter of 2024 by an average of 7% due to the macroeconomic conditions discussed earlier. We expect metallurgical coal prices to remain volatile in the near term.
There are no revenues from rare earth and critical minerals at this time.
Cost of sales. Our cost of coal sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $134.7 million, approximately 7% lower than the same period in 2023 despite the 3% increase in tons sold discussed above. Cost of sales per ton sold decreased 9% from $145 per ton for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $132 per ton for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Cash cost per ton sold (FOB mine), a non-GAAP measure which excludes transportation costs, alternative mineral development costs, and idle mine costs, decreased 10% from $113 per ton for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $102 per ton for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures later in Item 2 for more information regarding this measure. Mine costs for the third quarter of 2024 benefited from efficiencies gained from increased production versus the same period in 2023.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization. Depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense totaled $17.8 million and $14.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. The increase year-to-year was related to $1.3 million of additional amortization for the Knox Creek Jawbone mine, which is due to the closure of the mine, as well as the general increases in plant and equipment and production versus 2023.

Selling, general, and administrative. Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $12.9 million and $11.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. The $1.5 million increase in 2024 was primarily due to the increase in stock-based compensation expense.
Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net was ($0.1) million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $11.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Other income, net in the third quarter of 2023 was due primarily to recognition of the $7.8 million legal verdict for contract (compensatory) damages related to the 2018 Elk Creek silo failure as well as the receipt of $3.0 million of insurance proceeds related to the methane ignition that occurred at our Berwind complex in 2022.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net was $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease in 2024 was largely due to the repayment in full of related-party debt in the fourth quarter of 2023 associated with the financing of the acquisition of Ramaco Coal from Yorktown Partners. Interest expense related to this financing was $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2023.
Income tax expense (benefit). The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 was 9% and 22%, respectively, excluding the impact of discrete items. The primary differences from the federal statutory rate of 21% are related to state taxes, non-deductible expenses, the foreign-derived intangible income deduction, and depletion expense for income tax purposes.
Earnings (loss) per share. Refer to Note 10 of Part I, Item 1 for information regarding earnings per share calculations for Class A and Class B common stock.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023
Revenue. Coal sales revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $495.4 million, approximately 1% higher than the same period in 2023 due to the increase in tons sold, which was mostly offset by the negative impact of pricing. The 16% increase in tons sold occurred in both North America and export markets, with export volumes increasing by 20% and North America volumes increasing by 10%, and was aided by the Company’s increased capacity for production achieved during late 2023. Revenue per ton sold decreased 13% from $199 per ton for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $173 per ton for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and was driven by the variability in index-based pricing for export sales. Revenue per ton sold (FOB mine), a non-GAAP measure which excludes transportation revenues and demurrage, decreased 14% from $169 per ton for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $145 per ton for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures later in Item 2 for more information regarding this measure. U.S. metallurgical coal price indices have fallen by roughly 32% on a year-to-date basis driven by the macroeconomic conditions discussed previously. We expect metallurgical coal prices to remain volatile in the near term.
There are no revenues from rare earth and critical minerals at this time.
Cost of sales. Our cost of coal sales totaled $397.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $354.4 million for the same period in 2023. The 12% increase was driven by the increase in tons sold, as discussed directly above. Cost of sales per ton sold decreased 3% from $144 per ton for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $139 per ton for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Cash cost per ton sold (FOB mine), a non-GAAP measure which excludes transportation costs, alternative mineral development costs, and idle mine costs, decreased 2% from $111 per ton for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $109 per ton for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures later in Item 2 for more information regarding this measure. Mine costs for 2024 were impacted negatively by challenging geology and labor constraints in the first quarter of 2024 but improved during the second and third quarters of 2024 due to efficiencies gained from increased production compared to the same periods in 2023.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization. Depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense totaled $48.9 million and $39.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. The increase
25
year-to-year was related to $1.2 million of additional amortization for the Knox Creek Jawbone mine, which is due to the closure of the mine, as well as the general increases in plant and equipment and production versus 2023.
Selling, general, and administrative. SG&A expenses were $37.9 million and $37.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. SG&A expenses in 2024 include a $3.1 million benefit accrued for the probable recovery of attorney fees related to the silo failure litigation developments, which is not indicative of future SG&A expenses. This matter offset most of the 2024 increase in stock-based compensation.
Other income (expense), net. Other income, net was $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which was primarily related to the $2.2 million recovery of previously incurred demurrage and other transportation-related matters. Other income, net was $15.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which was due primarily to recognition of the $7.8 million legal verdict for contract (compensatory) damages related to the 2018 Elk Creek silo failure as well as the $4.9 million gain from the Company’s insurance claim related to the methane ignition that occurred at our Berwind complex in 2022. The Company received $6.0 million of proceeds during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 related to the Berwind ignition and had previously accrued a $1.1 million loss recovery asset at year-end 2022. These activities are not indicative of future results.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net was $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $7.3 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease in 2024 was largely due to the repayment in full of related-party debt in 2023 associated with the financing of the acquisition of Ramaco Coal from Yorktown Partners. Interest expense related to this financing totaled $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Income tax expense. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 was 28% and 21%, respectively, excluding the $1.0 million favorable impact of discrete items in 2024. The primary differences from the federal statutory rate of 21% are related to state taxes, non-deductible expenses, the foreign-derived intangible income deduction, and depletion expense for income tax purposes.
Earnings per share. Refer to Note 10 of Part I, Item 1 for information regarding earnings per share calculations for Class A and Class B common stock.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The metallurgical coal markets are volatile in nature; therefore, the Company prioritizes managing its financial position and liquidity, while managing costs and capital expenditures and returning value to its shareholders.
On May 3, 2024, the Company entered into the First Amendment Agreement to the Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement in order to, among other things, extend the maturity date and increase the size of its existing Revolving Credit Facility. The amended facility has a maturity date of May 3, 2029, and provides an initial aggregate revolving commitment of $200 million as well as an accordion feature to increase the size by an additional $75 million subject to certain terms and conditions, including the lenders’ consent. The amended facility provides the Company with additional flexibility to pursue further growth in production while meeting normal operating requirements. The terms of the amended facility also require the Company to maintain certain covenants, including fixed charge coverage ratio and compensating balance requirements. Borrowings under the amended facility may not exceed the borrowing base as determined under the amended formula included in the agreement.
At September 30, 2024, we had $22.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and $57.9 million of remaining availability under our Revolving Credit Facility for future borrowings. Cash and cash equivalents include $7.5 million of compensating balances held in dedicated accounts to assure future credit availability under the revolver. The Company’s total current assets were $146.7 million and were in excess of total current liabilities by $37.9 million as of the balance sheet date.

Significant sources and uses of cash during the first nine months of 2024
Sources of cash:
● | Cash flows provided by operating activities were $97.0 million during the first nine months of 2024, which were driven primarily by net earnings adjusted for non-cash expenses including depreciation, depletion, and amortization as well as stock-based compensation. Changes in operating assets and liabilities also contributed to operating cash flow driven primarily by the decrease in accounts receivable due to the collection of fourth quarter 2023 revenues, which were $35.3 million higher than third quarter 2024 revenues. |
Uses of cash:
● | Capital expenditures totaled $57.9 million, including expenditures related to the preparation plant and expansion of our Maben complex. Capital expenditures for the Maben preparation plant totaled $12.3 million, including approximately $3 million for the initial purchase of the plant. The preparation plant at Maben was commissioned in October 2024, which should reduce trucking costs at the complex going forward. The Company anticipates lower capital spending in the fourth quarter of 2024 as most of the Company’s annual growth capital expenditures occurred in the first half of 2024. |
● | Cash outflows for financing activities totaled $58.0 million, which included: |
o | net repayments of $24.2 million on our existing debt, finance leases, and insurance financing and |
o | net outflow of $33.8 million to stockholders driven by dividend payments of $24.5 million, which include $18.2 million for Class A common stock and $6.2 million for Class B common stock. |
The Class B common stock dividends were calculated based on 20% of the previous quarter’s CORE royalty and infrastructure fees as shown below. Refer to Note 6 of Part I, Item 1 for additional information regarding dividends.

The Company anticipates declaring similar dividends on a quarterly basis in future periods; however, future declarations of dividends are subject to Board of Directors’ approval and may be adjusted as business needs or market conditions change.
27
Future sources and uses of cash
Our primary use of cash includes capital expenditures for mine development and ongoing operating expenses. We expect to fund our capital and liquidity requirements for the next twelve months and the reasonably foreseeable future with cash on hand, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, projected cash flows from operations, and, if warranted, capital raised under the Company’s shelf registration discussed below. Factors that could adversely impact our future liquidity and ability to carry out our capital expenditure program include the following:
● | Timely delivery of our product by rail and other transportation carriers; |
● | Late payments of accounts receivable by our customers; |
● | Cost overruns in our purchases of equipment needed to complete our mine development plans; |
● | Delays in completion of development of our various mines, processing plants and refuse disposal facilities, which would reduce the coal we would have available to sell and our cash flow from operations; and |
● | Adverse changes in the metallurgical coal markets that would reduce the expected cash flow from operations. |
If future cash flows were to become insufficient to meet our liquidity needs or capital requirements, due to changes in macroeconomic conditions or otherwise, we may reduce our expected level of capital expenditures for new mine production and/or fund a portion of our capital expenditures through the issuance of debt or equity securities, new debt arrangements, or from other sources such as asset sales.
On September 1, 2023, the Company filed a shelf registration statement to sell any combination of Class A common stock, Class B common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, debt securities, warrants, and rights at an aggregate initial offering price of up to $400.0 million. No securities may be sold until a prospectus supplement describing the method and terms of any future offering is delivered.
Refer to Note 4 of Part I, Item 1 for information regarding the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility and indebtedness.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amounts of revenue and expenses reported for the period then ended. A discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates is included in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” of the Annual Report. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the first nine months of 2024.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
A discussion of off-balance sheet arrangements is included under the heading “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” in the Annual Report. There were no material changes during the first nine months of 2024.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA - Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus net interest expense; stock-based compensation expense; depreciation, depletion, and amortization expenses; income taxes; accretion of asset retirement obligations; and, when applicable, certain other non-operating items (income tax penalties and charitable contributions). A reconciliation of net
28
income to Adjusted EBITDA is included below. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to serve as a substitute to U.S. GAAP measures of performance and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies.

Non-GAAP revenue per ton sold- Non-GAAP revenue per ton sold (FOB mine) is calculated as coal sales revenue less transportation revenues and demurrage, divided by tons sold. We believe revenue per ton sold (FOB mine) provides useful information to investors as it enables investors to compare revenue per ton we generate against similar measures made by other publicly-traded coal companies and more effectively monitor changes in coal prices from period to period excluding the impact of transportation costs which are beyond our control. The adjustments made to arrive at these measures are significant in understanding and assessing our financial performance. Revenue per ton sold (FOB mine) is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with U.S. GAAP and, therefore, should not be considered as a substitute to revenue under U.S. GAAP.

Non-GAAP cash cost per ton sold - Non-GAAP cash cost per ton sold (FOB mine) is calculated as cash cost of sales less transportation costs, alternative mineral development costs, and idle and other costs, divided by tons sold. We believe cash cost per ton sold provides useful information to investors as it enables investors to compare our cash cost per ton against similar measures made by other publicly-traded coal companies and more effectively monitor changes in coal cost from period to period excluding the impact of transportation costs which are beyond our control, and alternative mineral costs, which are more developmentally focused at the present time.

Cash cost per ton sold (FOB mine) is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with U.S. GAAP and, therefore, should not be considered as a substitute to cost of sales under U.S. GAAP.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Disclosures about market risk are included in Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” of our Annual Report.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer, who serves as our principal executive officer, and our chief financial officer, who serves as our principal financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures, and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. However, based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report as a result of the two material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as described below.
Previously Reported Material Weakness
We previously identified a material weakness and concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2023. Based on that evaluation, management identified a material weakness related to a pervasive lack of sufficient documentation of accounting policies, procedures, and controls. This lack of sufficient documentation does not allow management to effectively assess its relevant risks and key controls to properly test for design and operating effectiveness. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
30
Remediation Plan
We have developed a plan of remediation to address this material weakness, which will include assessing, redesigning, and implementing modifications to our internal controls. We will not be able to fully remediate this material weakness until these steps have been completed and subsequent validation and testing of these internal controls have demonstrated their operating effectiveness over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles. Once the remediation plan is fully developed, we will be implementing process, control, and documentation improvements to address the above material weakness that include, but are not limited to, designing and implementing specific management review procedures to ensure completeness and accuracy of key financial and non-financial data utilized in our business; and implementing improved policies, procedures, and control activities over key financial data to ensure accuracy and completeness of this data as used in the aforementioned management review procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We are actively improving our control environment by executing our remediation plan to address the material weakness, as described above. Our remediation process has resulted in changes to our control environment that we believe represent changes in our system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Additionally, during the most recent fiscal period, management determined that a material weakness existed related to inappropriate segregation of duties related to certain individuals having both system administrator responsibilities within the Company’s Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) financial system and responsibilities for certain accounting and financial reporting functions. The inappropriate segregation of duties was not appropriately mitigated by the monitoring controls implemented to ensure individuals with system administrator access did not make unauthorized changes to the Company’s information systems impacting the financial reporting of the Company. We have implemented an enhanced monitoring control as of the end of the third quarter of 2024, which we believe is designed effectively to remediate the aforementioned material weakness; however, additional testing will be required in the fourth quarter to ensure that the enhanced control activities are operating as designed before we can conclude the material weakness has been remediated.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Senior members of management do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
