“In back-to-back quarters, the highlight of our quarterly results is our cost performance,” said Andy Eidson, Alpha's chief executive officer. “Reducing costs by almost three dollars as compared to last quarter's excellent results is an achievement to be proud of. I appreciate the team's hard work in achieving this milestone, especially given the difficult market backdrop we continue to experience.”
Eidson continued: “Looking ahead, we remain focused on domestic negotiations for 2026 tons and building out our budget for the coming year. Once we gain clarity on these important details, we will provide more information about our expectations and guidance for 2026.”

Alpha reported a net loss of $5.5 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2025, as compared to net loss of $5.0 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, in the second quarter.

Alpha's Met segment cost of coal sales decreased to an average of $97.27 per ton in the third quarter, compared to $100.06 per ton in the second quarter.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash provided by operating activities in the third quarter decreased to $50.6 million as compared to $53.2 million in the second quarter. Capital expenditures for the third quarter were $25.1 million compared to $34.6 million for the second quarter.
As of September30, 2025, the company had total liquidity of $568.5 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $408.5 million, short-term investments of $49.4 million, and $185.5 million of unused availability under the asset-based revolving credit facility (ABL), partially offset by a minimum required liquidity of $75.0 million as required by the ABL. As of September30, 2025, the company had no borrowings and $39.5 million in letters of credit outstanding under the ABL. Total long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt as of September30, 2025, was $5.0 million.
Share Repurchase Program
As previously announced, Alpha's board of directors authorized a share repurchase program allowing for the expenditure of up to $1.5 billion for the repurchase of the company's common stock. As of October 31, 2025, the company had acquired approximately 6.8 million shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $1.1 billion since the start of the program. The number of common stock shares outstanding as of October 31, 2025 was 12,858,024, not including the potential effect of unvested equity awards.
The timing and amount of share repurchases will be based on various factors, including but not limited to market conditions, the trading price of the stock, applicable legal requirements, compliance with the provisions of the company's debt agreements, and other factors.
2025 Guidance Adjustments and Performance Update
Alpha is lowering its 2025 guidance range for capital contributions to equity affiliates to between $35 million and $41 million, down from the prior range of $44 million to $54 million.
As of October 29, 2025, Alpha has committed and priced approximately 85% of its metallurgical coal for 2025 at an average price of $122.57 per ton and 100% of its thermal coal for the year at an average price of $80.27 per ton.

Notes:1. Based on committed and priced coal shipments as of October 29, 2025. Committed percentage based on the midpoint of shipment guidance range.2. Actual average per-ton realizations on committed and priced tons recognized in future periods may vary based on actual freight expense in future periods relative to assumed freight expense embedded in projected average per-ton realizations.3. Includes estimates of future coal shipments based upon contract terms and anticipated delivery schedules. Actual coal shipments may vary from these estimates.4. Note: The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of its forward-looking non-GAAP cost of coal sales per ton sold financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying with reasonable accuracy significant items required for the reconciliation. The most directly comparable GAAP measure, GAAP cost of sales, is not accessible without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis. The reconciling items include freight and handling costs, which are a component of GAAP cost of sales. Management is unable to predict without unreasonable efforts freight and handling costs due to uncertainty as to the end market and FOB point for uncommitted sales volumes and the final shipping point for export shipments. These amounts have varied historically and may continue to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and material changes to these items could have a significant effect on our future GAAP results.5. Excludes expenses related to non-cash stock compensation and non-recurring expenses.6. Includes contributions to fund normal operations at our DTA export facility and expected capital investments related to the facility upgrades.

FINANCIAL TABLES FOLLOW
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The discussion below contains “non-GAAP financial measures.” These are financial measures that 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 (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”). Specifically, we make use of the non-GAAP financial measures “Adjusted EBITDA,” “non-GAAP coal revenues,” “non-GAAP cost of coal sales,” and “non-GAAP coal margin.” In addition to net income, we use Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of our reportable segment. Adjusted EBITDA does not purport to be an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or any other measure of operating results, financial performance, or liquidity presented 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. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it is a useful indicator of the financial performance of our coal operations. We use non-GAAP coal revenues to present coal revenues generated, excluding freight and handling fulfillment revenues. Non-GAAP coal sales realization per ton for our operations is calculated as non-GAAP coal revenues divided by tons sold. We use non-GAAP cost of coal sales to adjust cost of coal sales to remove freight and handling costs, depreciation, depletion and amortization – production (excluding the depreciation, depletion and amortization related to selling, general and administrative functions), accretion on asset retirement obligations, amortization of acquired intangibles, net, and idled and closed mine costs. Non-GAAP cost of coal sales per ton for our operations is calculated as non-GAAP cost of coal sales divided by tons sold. Non-GAAP coal margin per ton for our coal operations is calculated as non-GAAP coal sales realization per ton for our coal operations less non-GAAP cost of coal sales per ton for our coal operations. 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 and to adjust for items that may not reflect the trend of future results by excluding transactions that are not indicative of our core operating performance. Furthermore, analogous measures are used by industry analysts to evaluate the Company's operating performance. 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, capital investments and other factors.
Included below are reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures.
