The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Peabody Energy Corporation (PEC) and its consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates (along with PEC, the Company or Peabody). Interests in subsidiaries controlled by the Company are consolidated with any outside stockholder interests reflected as noncontrolling interests, except when the Company has an undivided interest in a joint venture. In those cases, the Company includes its proportionate share in the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the jointly controlled entities within each applicable line item of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. All intercompany transactions, profits and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. Balance sheet information presented herein as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheet at that date. The Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2021. (2) Newly Adopted Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented Newly Adopted Accounting Standards Equity Method Investments. In January 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-01, which clarifies the interactions between Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 321, ASC 323 and ASC 815. The new guidance addresses accounting for the transition into and out of the equity method and measuring certain purchased options and forward contracts to acquire investments. ASU 2020-01 is effective on January 1, 2021 for calendar year-end public companies. The Company adopted the requirements effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures. Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented Reference Rate Reform. In March 2020, ASU 2020-04 was issued, which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden on accounting for contract modifications caused by reference rate reform (including reform of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or other reference rate reform). This guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The guidance may be adopted over time as reference rate reform activities occur and should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is still completing its evaluation of the impact of the guidance and plans to elect optional expedients as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures. (3) Revenue Recognition Refer to Note 1. “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, for the Company’s policies regarding “Revenues” and “Accounts receivable, net.” 7 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Disaggregation of Revenues Revenue by product type and market is set forth in the following tables. With respect to its seaborne mining segments, the Company classifies as “Export” certain revenue from domestically-delivered coal under contracts in which the price is derived on a basis similar to export contracts.

Refer to Note 7. “Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements” for additional information regarding the economic hedge activities. (2) Other includes revenues from arrangements such as customer contract-related payments associated with volume shortfalls, royalties related to coal lease agreements, sales agency commissions, farm income and property and facility rentals. Committed Revenue from Contracts with Customers The Company expects to recognize revenue subsequent to June 30, 2021 of approximately $ 3.6 billion related to contracts with customers in which volumes and prices per ton were fixed or reasonably estimable at June 30, 2021. Approximately 46 % of such amount is expected to be recognized over the next twelve months and the remainder thereafter. Actual revenue related to such contracts may differ materially for various reasons, including price adjustment features for coal quality and cost escalations, volume optionality provisions and potential force majeure events. This estimate of future revenue does not include any revenue related to contracts with variable prices per ton that cannot be reasonably estimated, such as the majority of seaborne metallurgical and seaborne thermal coal contracts where pricing is negotiated or settled quarterly or annually. Accounts Receivable “Accounts receivable, net” at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 consisted of the following: June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 (Dollars in millions) Trade receivables, net $ 217.3 $ 180.9 Miscellaneous receivables, net 33.4 63.9 Accounts receivable, net $ 250.7 $ 244.8 Trade receivables, net included no allowance for credit losses as of both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Miscellaneous receivables, net included no allowance for credit losses as of both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Charges for credit losses of less than $ 0.1 million were recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. No charges for credit losses were recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. (4) Discontinued Operations Discontinued operations include certain former Seaborne Thermal Mining and Other U.S. Thermal Mining segment assets that have ceased production and other previously divested legacy operations, including Patriot Coal Corporation and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (Patriot). 9 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Summarized Results of Discontinued Operations Results from discontinued operations were as follows during the periods presented below: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 (Dollars in millions) Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes $ ( 2.3 ) $ ( 2.3 ) $ ( 4.3 ) $ ( 4.5 ) Liabilities of Discontinued Operations Liabilities classified as discontinued operations included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets were as follows: June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 (Dollars in millions) Liabilities: Accounts payable and accrued expenses $ 63.2 $ 62.3 Other noncurrent liabilities 84.7 91.4 Total liabilities classified as discontinued operations $ 147.9 $ 153.7 Patriot-Related Matters A significant portion of the liabilities in the table above relate to Patriot. In 2012, Patriot filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the U.S. Code (the Bankruptcy Code). In 2013, the Company entered into a definitive settlement agreement (2013 Agreement) with Patriot and the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA), on behalf of itself, its represented Patriot employees and its represented Patriot retirees, to resolve all then-disputed issues related to Patriot’s bankruptcy. In May 2015, Patriot again filed voluntary petitions for relief under the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and subsequently initiated a process to sell substantially all of its assets to qualified bidders. On October 9, 2015, Patriot’s bankruptcy court entered an order confirming Patriot’s plan of reorganization, which provided, among other things, for the sale of substantially all of Patriot’s assets to two different buyers. Black Lung Occupational Disease Liabilities. Patriot had federal and state black lung occupational disease liabilities related to workers employed in periods prior to Patriot’s spin-off from the Company in 2007. Upon spin-off, Patriot indemnified the Company against any claim relating to these liabilities, which amounted to approximately $ 150 million at that time. The indemnification included any claim made by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) against the Company with respect to these obligations as a potentially liable operator under the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969. The 2013 Agreement included Patriot’s affirmance of indemnities provided in the spin-off agreements, including the indemnity relating to such black lung liabilities; however, Patriot rejected this indemnity in its May 2015 bankruptcy. By statute, the Company had secondary liability for the black lung liabilities related to Patriot’s workers employed by former subsidiaries of the Company. The Company’s accounting for the black lung liabilities related to Patriot is based on an interpretation of applicable statutes. Management believes that inconsistencies exist among the applicable statutes, regulations promulgated under those statutes and the DOL’s interpretative guidance. The Company has sought clarification from the DOL regarding these inconsistencies. The amount of these liabilities could be reduced in the future. Whether the Company will ultimately be required to fund certain of those obligations in the future as a result of Patriot’s May 2015 bankruptcy remains uncertain. The amount of the liability, which was determined on an actuarial basis based on the best information available to the Company, was $ 89.7 million and $ 90.1 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. While the Company has recorded a liability, it intends to review each claim on a case-by-case basis and contest liability estimates as appropriate. The amount of the Company’s recorded liability reflects only Patriot workers employed by former subsidiaries of the Company that are presently retired, disabled or otherwise not actively employed. The Company cannot reliably estimate the potential liabilities for Patriot’s workers employed by former subsidiaries of the Company that are presently active in the workforce because of the potential for such workers to continue to work for another coal operator that is a going concern. 10 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (5) Inventories Inventories as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 consisted of the following: June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 (Dollars in millions) Materials and supplies $ 101.5 $ 102.6 Raw coal 57.6 70.5 Saleable coal 73.4 88.5 Total $ 232.5 $ 261.6 Materials and supplies inventories presented above have been shown net of reserves of $ 10.2 million and $ 10.4 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. (6) Equity Method Investments The Company had total equity method investments and financing receivables of $ 17.5 million and $ 24.6 million reflected in “Investments and other assets” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, related to Middlemount Coal Pty Ltd (Middlemount). Included in “Loss from equity affiliates” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations were losses related to Middlemount of $ 3.5 million and $ 4.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and losses of $ 6.0 million and $ 15.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The Company received cash payments from Middlemount of $ 2.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. No payments were received from from Middlemount during the six months ended June 30, 2020. One of the Company’s Australian subsidiaries and the other shareholder of Middlemount are parties to an agreement, as amended from time to time, to provide a revolving loan (Revolving Loans) to Middlemount. The Company’s participation in the Revolving Loans will not, at any time, exceed its 50 % equity interest of the revolving loan limit. At June 30, 2021, the revolving loan limit was $ 160 million Australian dolla rs and the Revolving Loans were not fully drawn upon by Middlemount. The Revolving Loans bear interest at 10 % per annum and expire on December 31, 2021. T he value of the portion of the Revolving Loans due to the Company’s Australian subsidiary was $ 42.9 million and $ 46.2 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, with the decreas e during the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily attributable to payments made by Middlemount. As of both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the financing receivables and Revolving Loans are accounted for as in-substance common stock due to the limited fair value attributed to Middlemount’s equi ty. (7) Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements Derivatives Corporate Risk Management Activities From time to time, the Company may utilize various types of derivative instruments to manage its exposure to risks in the normal course of business, including (1) foreign currency exchange rate risk and the variability of cash flows associated with forecasted Australian dollar expenditures made in its Australian mining platform, (2) price risk of fluctuating coal prices related to forecasted sales or purchases of coal, or changes in the fair value of a fixed price physical sales contract, (3) price risk and the variability of cash flows related to forecasted diesel fuel purchased for use in its operations and (4) interest rate risk on long-term debt. These risk management activities are actively monitored for compliance with the Company’s risk management policies. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had currency options outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of $ 580.0 million Australian dollars to hedge currency risk associated with anticipated Australian dollar expenditures over the nine-month period ending March 31, 2022. The instruments are quarterly average rate options which entitle the Company to receive payment on the notional amount should the quarterly average Australian dollar-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate exceed amounts ranging from $ 0.80 to $ 0.81 over the nine-month period ending March 31, 2022. 11 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) As of June 30, 2021, the Company held coal-related financial contracts related to a portion of its forecasted sales for an aggregate notional volume of 2.8 million tonnes. Such financial contracts may include include futures, forwards and options. Of the aggregate notional volume, 0.4 million tonnes will settle during the second half of 2021, 2.0 million tonnes will settle in 2022, and the remainder will settle in 2023. The Company had no diesel fuel or interest rate derivatives in place as of June 30, 2021. Coal Trading Activities On a limited basis, the Company engages in the direct and brokered trading of coal and freight-related contracts (coal trading). Except those contracts for which the Company has elected to apply a normal purchases and normal sales exception, all derivative coal trading contracts are accounted for at fair value. Tabular Derivatives Disclosures The Company has master netting agreements with certain of its counterparties which allow for the settlement of contracts in an asset position with contracts in a liability position in the event of default or termination. Such netting arrangements reduce the Company’s credit exposure related to these counterparties. For classification purposes, the Company records the net fair value of all the positions with a given counterparty as a net asset or liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of derivatives reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets are set forth in the table below. June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 Asset Derivative Liability Derivative Asset Derivative Liability Derivative (Dollars in millions) Foreign currency option contracts $ 1.0 $ — $ 10.3 $ — Coal contracts related to forecasted sales 1.8 ( 28.9 ) 0.9 ( 8.8 ) Coal trading contracts 83.2 ( 88.6 ) 23.4 ( 23.1 ) Total derivatives 86.0 ( 117.5 ) 34.6 ( 31.9 ) Effect of counterparty netting ( 116.0 ) 116.0 ( 30.2 ) 30.2 Variation margin posted 31.9 — 6.5 — Net derivatives and margin as classified in the balance sheets $ 1.9 $ ( 1.5 ) $ 10.9 $ ( 1.7 ) The net amount of asset derivatives, net of margin, are included in “Other current assets” and the net amount of liability derivatives, net of margin, are included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company had a current asset representing cash collateral held as initial margin for derivative positions primarily related to coal derivatives of $ 14.4 million and $ 3.0 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. These amounts are not included with the derivatives presented in the table above and are included in “Other current assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Currently, the Company does not seek cash flow hedge accounting treatment for its derivative financial instruments and thus changes in fair value are reflected in current earnings. 12 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The tables below show the amounts of pre-tax gains and losses related to the Company’s derivatives.

The Company classifies the cash effects of its derivatives within the “Cash Flows From Operating Activities” section of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. 13 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Fair Value Measurements The Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on the observability of the inputs utilized in the valuation. These levels include: Level 1 - inputs are quoted prices in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 - inputs are other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable through market-corroborated inputs; and Level 3 - inputs are unobservable, or observable but cannot be market-corroborated, requiring the Company to make assumptions about pricing by market participants. The following tables set forth the hierarchy of the Company’s net financial asset positions for which fair value is measured on a recurring basis: June 30, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (Dollars in millions) Foreign currency option contracts $ — $ 1.0 $ — $ 1.0 Coal contracts related to forecasted sales — ( 33.7 ) — ( 33.7 ) Coal trading contracts — 33.1 — 33.1 Equity securities — — 4.0 4.0 Total net financial assets $ — $ 0.4 $ 4.0 $ 4.4 December 31, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (Dollars in millions) Foreign currency option contracts $ — $ 10.3 $ — $ 10.3 Coal contracts related to forecasted sales — ( 7.9 ) — ( 7.9 ) Coal trading contracts — 6.8 — 6.8 Equity securities — — 4.0 4.0 Total net financial assets $ — $ 9.2 $ 4.0 $ 13.2 For Level 1 and 2 financial assets and liabilities, the Company utilizes both direct and indirect observable price quotes, including interest rate yield curves, exchange indices, broker/dealer quotes, published indices, issuer spreads, benchmark securities and other market quotes. In the case of certain debt securities, fair value is provided by a third-party pricing service. Below is a summary of the Company’s valuation techniques for Level 1 and 2 financial assets and liabilities: • Foreign currency option contracts are valued utilizing inputs obtained in quoted public markets (Level 2) except when credit and non-performance risk is considered to be a significant input, then the Company classifies such contracts as Level 3. • Coal contracts related to forecasted sales and coal trading contracts are generally valued based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) or a valuation that is corroborated by the use of market-based pricing (Level 2) except when credit and non-performance risk is considered to be a significant input (greater than 10% of fair value), then the Company classifies as Level 3. • Investments in equity securities are based on observed prices in an inactive market (Level 3). Other Financial Instruments . The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values for other financial instruments as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020: • Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, including those within the Company’s accounts receivable securitization program, notes receivable and accounts payable have carrying values which approximate fair value due to the short maturity or the liquid nature of these instruments. • Long-term debt fair value estimates are based on observed prices for securities when available (Level 2), and otherwise on estimated borrowing rates to discount the cash flows to their present value (Level 3). 14 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Market risk associated with the Company’s fixed- and variable-rate long-term debt relates to the potential reduction in the fair value and negative impact to future earnings, respectively, from an increase in interest rates. The fair value of debt, shown below, is principally based on reported market values and estimates based on interest rates, maturities, credit risk, underlying collateral and completed market transactions, which have been limited in recent history. June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 (Dollars in millions) Total debt at par value $ 1,469.9 $ 1,591.3 Less: Unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount ( 51.8 ) ( 43.5 ) Net carrying amount $ 1,418.1 $ 1,547.8 Estimated fair value $ 1,179.4 $ 987.6 The Company’s risk management function, which is independent of the Company’s coal trading function, is responsible for valuation policies and procedures, with oversight from executive management. The fair value of the Company’s coal derivative assets and liabilities reflects adjustments for credit risk. The Company’s exposure is substantially with electric utilities, energy marketers, steel producers and nonfinancial trading houses. The Company had no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The Company’s policy is to value all transfers between levels using the beginning of period valuation. (8) Property, Plant, Equipment and Mine Development The composition of property, plant, equipment and mine development, net, as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is set forth in the table below: June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 (Dollars in millions) Land and coal interests $ 2,484.1 $ 2,482.9 Buildings and improvements 523.3 481.0 Machinery and equipment 1,461.5 1,408.5 Less: Accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization ( 1,460.6 ) ( 1,321.3 ) Property, plant, equipment and mine development, net $ 3,008.3 $ 3,051.1 Asset Impairment and Other At-Risk Assets During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized an asset impairment charge of $ 1,418.1 million related to its North Antelope Rochelle Mine of the Powder River Basin Mining segment. Of this amount, $ 1,393.7 million related to the property, plant, equipment and mine development assets; $ 19.9 million related to operating lease right-of-use assets; and $ 4.5 million related to contract-based intangible assets. The outlook for the mine was negatively impacted by the accelerated decline of coal-fired electricity generation in the U.S., driven by the reduced utilization of plants and plant retirements, sustained low natural gas pricing and the increased use of renewable energy sources. These factors led to the expectation of reduced future sales volumes. The impairment charge was based upon the remaining estimated discounted cash flows of the mine. Such cash flows were based upon estimates which generally constitute unobservable Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy, including, but not limited to, future tons sold, coal prices for unpriced coal, production costs (including costs for labor, commodity supplies and contractors), transportation costs and a risk-adjusted, cost of capital. No asset impairment charges were recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company has identified certain assets with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $ 1.2 billion at June 30, 2021 in its Seaborne Metallurgical Mining, Powder River Basin Mining, Other U.S. Thermal Mining and Corporate and Other segments whose recoverability is most sensitive to coal pricing, cost pressures, customer demand, customer concentration risk and future economic viability. The Company conducted a review of those assets for recoverability as of June 30, 2021 and determined that no impairment charges were necessary as of that date. 15 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (9) Leases The Company has operating and finance leases for mining and non-mining equipment, office space and certain other facilities under various non-cancellable agreements. Historically, the majority of the Company’s leases have been accounted for as operating leases. Refer to Note 1. “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, for the Company’s policies regarding “Leases.” The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have guaranteed other subsidiaries’ performance under various lease obligations. Certain lease agreements are subject to the restrictive covenants of the Company’s credit facilities and include cross-acceleration provisions, under which the lessor could require remedies including, but not limited to, immediate recovery of the present value of any remaining lease payments. The Company typically agrees to indemnify lessors for the value of the property or equipment leased, should the property be damaged or lost during the course of the Company’s operations. The Company expects that losses with respect to leased property, if any, may be covered by insurance (subject to deductibles). Aside from indemnification of the lessor for the value of the property leased, the Company’s maximum potential obligations under its leases are equal to the respective future minimum lease payments, and the Company assumes that no amounts could be recovered from third parties. The components of lease expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 (Dollars in millions) Operating lease cost: Operating lease cost $ 4.6 $ 8.4 $ 10.6 $ 17.0 Short-term lease cost 3.0 11.6 6.4 21.5 Variable lease cost 0.6 1.6 1.0 2.6 Sublease income ( 0.5 ) — ( 1.0 ) — Total operating lease cost $ 7.7 $ 21.6 $ 17.0 $ 41.1 Finance lease cost: Amortization of right-of-use assets $ 1.5 $ 1.0 $ 2.2 $ 4.4 Interest on lease liabilities 0.8 0.1 1.2 0.3 Total finance lease cost $ 2.3 $ 1.1 $ 3.4 $ 4.7 16 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was as follows: June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 (Dollars in millions) Operating leases: Operating lease right-of-use assets $ 42.4 $ 49.9 Accounts payable and accrued expenses $ 18.7 $ 24.5 Operating lease liabilities, less current portion 34.8 42.1 Total operating lease liabilities $ 53.5 $ 66.6 Finance leases: Property, plant, equipment and mine development $ 34.0 $ 20.4 Accumulated depreciation ( 7.8 ) ( 2.5 ) Property, plant, equipment and mine development, net $ 26.2 $ 17.9 Current portion of long-term debt $ 15.3 $ 21.5 Long-term debt, less current portion 17.0 5.8 Total finance lease liabilities $ 32.3 $ 27.3 Weighted average remaining lease term (years) Operating leases 3.3 Finance leases 6.7 Weighted average discount rate Operating leases 6.8 % Finance leases 9.0 % Supplemental cash flow information related to leases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 (Dollars in millions) Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows for operating leases $ 4.7 $ 6.8 $ 12.9 $ 19.6 Operating cash flows for finance leases 1.2 0.1 1.9 0.3 Financing cash flows for finance leases 1.5 2.1 2.8 7.9 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations: Operating leases 3.7 0.8 6.8 2.1 Finance leases 16.7 0.8 20.3 0.9 17 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The Company's leases have remaining lease terms ranging from less than 1 year to 20.5 years, and may include options to extend the terms, as applicable. The contractual maturities of lease liabilities were as follows: Period Ending December 31, Operating Leases Finance Leases (Dollars in millions) 2021 $ 9.4 $ 5.4 2022 17.7 10.9 2023 16.8 5.6 2024 6.0 4.6 2025 3.4 4.5 2026 and thereafter 3.8 9.6 Total lease payments 57.1 40.6 Less imputed interest ( 3.6 ) ( 8.3 ) Total lease liabilities $ 53.5 $ 32.3 (10) Income Taxes The Company's effective tax rate before remeasurement for the six months ended June 30, 2021 is based on the Company’s estimated full year effective tax rate, comprised of expected statutory tax provision, offset by foreign rate differential and changes in valuation allowance. The Company’s income tax benefit of $ 4.8 million and $ 0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, included a tax benefit of $ 0.3 million and a tax provision of $ 2.6 million, respectively, related to the remeasurement of foreign income tax accounts. The Company’s income tax benefit of $ 6.6 million and income tax provision of $ 2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, included tax benefits of $ 0.5 million and $ 0.7 million, respectively, related to the remeasurement of foreign income tax accounts. As described in Note 11. “Long-term Debt,” the Company completed the Refinancing Transactions (as defined below), which included a senior notes exchange and related consent solicitation, a revolving credit facility exchange and various amendments to existing debt agreements. Generally, absent an exception, for U.S. tax purposes a debtor recognizes cancellation of debt income (CODI) upon discharge of its outstanding indebtedness for an amount of consideration less than the adjusted issue price of such indebtedness. The Company recognized CODI from the Refinancing Transactions of approximately $ 60 million, and the income will be offset by the Company’s operating losses. (11) Long-term Debt The Company’s total funded indebtedness (Indebtedness) as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 consisted of the following: Debt Instrument (defined below, as applicable) June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 (Dollars in millions) 6.000 % Senior Secured Notes due March 2022 (2022 Notes) $ 29.5 $ 459.0 8.500 % Senior Secured Notes due December 2024 (Peabody Notes) 156.3 — 10.000 % Senior Secured Notes due December 2024 (Co-Issuer Notes) 193.9 — 6.375 % Senior Secured Notes due March 2025 (2025 Notes) 482.6 500.0 Senior Secured Term Loan due 2024 (Co-Issuer Term Loans) 206.0 — Senior Secured Term Loan due 2025, net of original issue discount (Senior Secured Term Loan) 368.6 388.2 Revolving credit facility — 216.0 Finance lease obligations 32.3 27.3 Less: Debt issuance costs ( 51.1 ) ( 42.7 ) 1,418.1 1,547.8 Less: Current portion of long-term debt 94.0 44.9 Long-term debt $ 1,324.1 $ 1,502.9 18 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Refinancing Transactions On January 29, 2021 (the Settlement Date), the Company completed a series of transactions (collectively, the Refinancing Transactions) to, among other things, provide the Company with maturity extensions and covenant relief, while allowing it to maintain near-term operating liquidity and financial flexibility. The Refinancing Transactions included a senior notes exchange and related consent solicitation, a revolving credit facility exchange and various amendments to the Company’s existing debt agreements, as summarized below. As further discussed in Note 16. “Financial Instruments and Other Guarantees,” upon completion of the Refinancing Transactions, the surety transaction support agreement (Surety Agreement) entered into with the Company’s surety bond providers in November 2020 became effective. On the Settlement Date, the Company settled an exchange offer (Exchange Offer) pursuant to which $ 398.7 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.000 % Senior Secured Notes due March 2022 (the 2022 Notes) were validly tendered, accepted by the Company and exchanged for aggregate consideration consisting of (a) $ 193.9 million aggregate principal amount of new 10.000 % Senior Secured Notes due December 2024 (Co-Issuer Notes) issued by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (the Co-Issuers), (b) $ 195.1 million aggregate principal amount of new 8.500 % Senior Secured Notes due December 2024 issued by the Company (Peabody Notes) and (c) a cash payment of approximately $ 9.4 million. In connection with the settlement of the Exchange Offer, the Company also paid early tender premiums totaling $ 4.0 million in cash. The Company’s Wilpinjong Mine in Australia is owned and operated by a subsidiary of the Co-Issuers. The Exchange Offer was accounted for as a debt modification based upon the relative similarity of the present value of the future cash flows of the instruments. As such, no gain or loss was recorded in connection with the Exchange Offer. Fees paid to third parties of $ 10.6 million were included in “Interest expense” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Concurrently with the Exchange Offer, the Company solicited consents from holders of the 2022 Notes to certain proposed amendments to its existing senior notes’ indenture (the Existing Indenture) to (i) eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, certain events of default applicable to the 2022 Notes and certain other provisions contained in the Existing Indenture and (ii) release the collateral securing the 2022 Notes and eliminate certain other related provisions contained in the Existing Indenture. The Company received the requisite consents from holders of the 2022 Notes and entered into a supplemental indenture to the Existing Indenture, which became operative on January 29, 2021. In connection with the Refinancing Transactions, the Company restructured the revolving loans under its existing credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) by (i) making a pay down of revolving loans thereunder in the aggregate amount of $ 10.0 million, (ii) the Co-Issuers incurring $ 206.0 million of term loans under a credit agreement, dated as of the Settlement Date (Co-Issuer Term Loans, Co-Issuer Term Loan Agreement), (iii) the Company entering into a letter of credit facility (the Company LC Agreement) and (iv) amending the Credit Agreement (collectively, the Revolver Transactions). Co-Issuer Notes The terms of the Co-Issuer Notes are governed by an indenture, as amended and restated as of February 3, 2021, by and among the Co-Issuers, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, and, on a limited basis, the Company (Co-Issuer Notes Indenture). The Co-Issuer Notes mature on December 31, 2024 and bear interest at an annual rate of 10.000 %. The Company paid aggregate debt issuance costs of $ 5.6 million, which are being amortized over the terms of the notes. Beginning March 31, 2021, interest is payable on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded interest expense of $ 5.3 million and $ 8.9 million, respectively, related to the Co-Issuer Notes. The Co-Issuer Notes are subject to amortization at the end of each six-month period, beginning with June 30, 2021, whereby the Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Co-Issuer Notes Indenture) generated by the Wilpinjong Mine during each such period will be applied to the principal of the Co-Issuer Notes and the Co-Issuer Term Loans on a pro rata basis, provided that the liquidity attributable to the Co-Issuers would not fall below $ 60.0 million. The Co-Issuer Notes Indenture contains customary covenants that, among other things, limit the Co-Issuers’ and their subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional Indebtedness, pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make certain other restricted payments or investments, enter into agreements that restrict distributions from subsidiaries, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, create or incur liens, and merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of their assets, and place restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to the Co-Issuers. 19 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The Co-Issuer Notes are not guaranteed by any of the Co-Issuers’ subsidiaries and thus are structurally subordinated to any existing or future Indebtedness or other liabilities, including trade payables, of any such subsidiaries. The Co-Issuer Notes initially are secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of the Co-Issuers, including by (i) 100 % of the capital stock of PIC Acquisition Corp. owned by PIC AU Holdings LLC and (ii) all other property subject or purported to be subject, from time to time, to a lien under the Co-Issuers’ collateral trust agreement (collectively, the Wilpinjong Collateral). The Co-Issuers may redeem some or all of the Co-Issuer Notes at the redemption prices and on the terms specified in the Co-Issuer Notes Indenture. The Co-Issuer Notes Indenture contains certain events of default, including, in certain circumstances, (i) specified events occurring at the Wilpinjong Mine, (ii) the termination or modification of the Surety Agreement, (iii) the Company’s failure to comply with any obligation under the transaction support agreement entered into prior to, and in contemplation of, the Refinancing Transactions and (iv) the termination of the management services agreements between the Company and the Co-Issuers. If the Co-Issuer Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due and payable as a result of an event of default, certain additional premium amounts may become due and payable in addition to unpaid principal and interest at the time of acceleration. In addition, the holders of the Co-Issuer Notes have the right, under certain circumstances specified in the Co-Issuer Notes Indenture, to exchange their Co-Issuer Notes for Peabody Notes. Peabody Notes The terms of the Peabody Notes are governed by an indenture, as amended and restated as of February 3, 2021, by and among Peabody, the guarantors party thereto, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the Peabody Notes Indenture). The Peabody Notes mature on December 31, 2024. The Company paid aggregate debt issuance costs of $ 5.7 million, which are being amortized over the terms of the notes. The Peabody Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 8.500 %, consisting of 6.000 % per annum in cash and an additional 2.500 % per annum to be paid-in-kind through an increase of the principal amount of the outstanding Peabody Notes, which is payable on June 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing on June 30, 2021. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded interest expense of $ 3.9 million and $ 7.0 million, respectively, related to the Peabody Notes, which included in-kind interest of approximately $ 0.8 million and $ 1.6 million, respectively. As a requirement of the Exchange Offer, during the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company purchased $ 22.4 million of the Peabody Notes at 80 % of their accreted value, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In connection with the purchases, the Company recognized a net gain of $ 3.5 million to “Net gain on early debt extinguishment” during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The notes were subsequently canceled. The Peabody Notes Indenture contains customary covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional Indebtedness, pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make certain other restricted payments or investments, enter into agreements that restrict distributions from restricted subsidiaries, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, create or incur liens, and merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets, and place restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to the Company. The Peabody Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis by the Peabody Guarantors (as defined below) on the Peabody Collateral (as defined below). The obligations are secured on a pari passu basis by the same collateral that secures the 6.375 % Senior Secured Notes due March 2025 (the 2025 Notes), the Credit Agreement and the Company LC Agreement described below. Co-Issuer Term Loans The Co-Issuer Term Loans mature on December 31, 2024 and bear interest at a rate of 10.00 % per annum. The Company paid aggregate debt issuance costs of $ 7.1 million, that are being amortized over its term. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded interest expense of $ 5.5 million and $ 9.2 million, respectively, related to the Co-Issuer Term Loans. 20 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The Co-Issuer Term Loan Agreement contains customary covenants that, among other things, limit the Co-Issuers’ and their subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional Indebtedness, pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make certain other restricted payments or investments, enter into agreements that restrict distributions from subsidiaries, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, create or incur liens, and merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of their assets, and place restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to the Co-Issuers. The Co-Issuer Term Loan Agreement is guaranteed and secured to the same extent as the Co-Issuer Notes as described above. In addition, the Co-Issuer Term Loan Agreement contains events of default substantially similar to those described above for the Co-Issuer Notes Indenture. Company LC Agreement On the Settlement Date, the Company entered into the Company LC Agreement with the revolving lenders party to the Credit Agreement, pursuant to which the Company obtained a $ 324.0 million letter of credit facility under which its existing letters under the Credit Agreement were deemed to be issued. The Company paid aggregate debt issuance costs of $ 4.1 million. The commitments under the Company LC Agreement mature on December 31, 2024. Undrawn letters of credit under the Company LC Agreement bear interest at 6.00 % per annum and unused commitments are subject to a 0.50 % per annum commitment fee. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded interest expense and fees of $ 5.8 million and $ 9.9 million, respectively, related to the Company LC Agreement. In connection with the Revolver Transactions, the Company amended its Credit Agreement to make certain changes in consideration of the Company LC Agreement. After giving effect to the Revolver Transactions, there remain no revolving commitments or revolving loans under the Credit Agreement and the first lien net leverage ratio covenant was eliminated. The Company LC Agreement requires that the Company’s restricted subsidiaries maintain minimum aggregate liquidity of $ 125.0 million at the end of each quarter through December 31, 2024. As such, liquidity attributable to the Co-Issuers, its subsidiaries and other unrestricted subsidiaries will be excluded from the calculation. The Company LC Agreement is guaranteed and secured to the same extent of the Peabody Notes as described above. In addition, the Company LC Agreement contains events of default substantially similar to those described above for the Peabody Notes. The indenture which governs the Peabody Notes and the Company LC Agreement allows the Company to make open market debt repurchases, subject to certain limitations, including, but not limited to: (i) the Company’s unrestricted subsidiaries’ liquidity must be greater than or equal to $ 200.0 million after giving effect to such repurchases and (ii) for every $ 4 of principal repurchased in any fiscal quarter, the Company must make an offer on a pro rata basis to purchase $ 1 of principal amount of debt from holders of the Peabody Notes and the priority lien obligations under the Company LC Agreement within 30 days of the end of such fiscal quarter at a price equal to the weighted average repurchase price paid over that quarter (Mandatory Repurchase Offer). 6.375 % Senior Secured Notes On February 15, 2017, the Company entered into the Existing Indenture with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, relating to its issuance of $ 500.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes. The 2025 Notes were issued on February 15, 2017 in a private transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). The 2025 Notes were issued at par value. The Company paid aggregate debt issuance costs of $ 25.1 million related to the offering, which are being amortized over the term of the 2025 Notes. Interest payments on the 2025 Notes are scheduled to occur each year on March 31 and September 30 until maturity. The Company recorded interest expense of $ 9.2 million during both the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and $ 18.4 million and $ 18.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to the 2025 Notes. With respect to the 2025 Notes, the Existing Indenture contains customary conditions of default and imposes certain restrictions on the Company’s activities, including its ability to incur debt, incur liens, make investments, engage in fundamental changes such as mergers and dissolutions, dispose of assets, enter into transactions with affiliates and make certain restricted payments, such as cash dividends and share repurchases. 21 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The 2025 Notes rank senior in right of payment to any subordinated Indebtedness and equally in right of payment with any senior Indebtedness to the extent of the collateral securing that Indebtedness. The 2025 Notes are jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by substantially all of the Company’s domestic restricted subsidiaries (the Peabody Guarantors) and secured by (a) first priority liens over (1) substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Peabody Guarantors, except for certain excluded assets, (2) 100 % of the capital stock of each domestic restricted subsidiary of the Company, (3) 100 % of the capital stock of each first tier foreign subsidiary of the Company or a foreign subsidiary holding company and (4) all intercompany debt owed to the Company or any Peabody Guarantor, in each case, subject to certain exceptions (the Peabody Collateral), and (b) second priority liens over the Wilpinjong Collateral. The 2025 Notes are secured on a pari passu basis by the same collateral securing the Credit Agreement, and the other priority lien debt of the Company, including the Peabody Notes and the Company LC Agreement described above. Credit Agreement The Company originally entered into the Credit Agreement during 2017, which provided for a $ 950.0 million senior secured term loan (the Senior Secured Term Loan) due in 2022. Proceeds from the Senior Secured Term Loan were received net of an original issue discount and deferred financing costs of $ 37.3 million that are being amortized over its term. The Credit Agreement has been amended periodically over its term to add a revolving loan facility, to increase the capacity and extend the maturity date of the revolving loan facility, to extend the maturity date of the Senior Secured Term Loan to 2025 and to make various changes to terms such as those related to interest, fees and payment restrictions. In connection with certain of the amendments, the Company voluntarily prepaid $ 46.0 million of Senior Secured Term Loan principal and incurred $ 10.4 million of deferred financing costs related to the revolving loan facility. The Company also voluntarily repaid an additional $ 500.0 million of Senior Secured Term Loan principal in various installments. At June 30, 2021 the Senior Secured Term Loan had a balance of $ 368.6 million. The Senior Secured Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments of $ 1.0 million and periodic interest payments through December 2024 with the remaining balance due in March 2025. The Company recorded interest expense of $ 3.5 million and $ 3.8 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $ 6.8 million and $ 8.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to the Senior Secured Term Loan, which bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.75 % per annum as of June 30, 2021. In connection with the Revolver Transactions, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to make certain changes in consideration of the Company LC Agreement. After giving effect to the Revolver Transactions, there remain no revolving commitments or revolving loans under the Credit Agreement. Further, all financial covenants specific to the former revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement were eliminated in connection with the Refinancing Transactions and were not applicable at June 30, 2021. The Company recorded interest expense and fees of $ 1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, and $ 4.0 million and $ 5.7 million, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, related to the revolving loan facility. No interest expense or fees related to the revolving loan facility were recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2021. The Credit Agreement contains customary conditions of default and imposes certain restrictions on the Company’s activities, including its ability to incur liens, incur debt, make investments, engage in fundamental changes such as mergers and dissolutions, dispose of assets, enter into transactions with affiliates and make certain restricted payments, such as cash dividends and share repurchases. Obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Peabody Guarantors and are secured by first priority liens on the Peabody Collateral and second priority liens on the Wilpinjong Collateral. The obligations are secured on a pari passu basis by the same collateral securing the 2025 Notes and the other priority lien debt of the Company, including the Peabody Notes and the Company LC Agreement described above. The Company was compliant with all covenants under its debt agreements including the minimum liquidity covenant under the Company LC Agreement at June 30, 2021. Subsequent Financing Transactions Subsequent to the Refinancing Transactions, the Company completed a series of financing transactions intended to improve its capital structure. 22 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) In June 2021, the Company announced an at-the-market equity offering program pursuant to which the Company could offer and sell up to 12.5 million shares of its common stock. Such sales are allowed using methods permissible under Rule 415 of the Securities Act. The shares are offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 23, 2021, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated June 4, 2021, relating to the offer and sale of the shares. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company sold approximately 8.1 million shares for net cash proceeds of $ 65.1 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the Company settled sales of an additional 2.7 million shares for net proceeds of $ 21.5 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company retired $ 18.0 million of Peabody Notes, $ 17.4 million of 2025 Notes and $ 17.8 million of its Senior Secured Term Loan primarily through various open market purchases at an aggregate cost of $ 39.2 million. The Company recorded a gain on early debt extinguishment of $ 11.9 million, net of debt issuance costs and original issue discount related to the retired debt of $ 2.1 million. Also during the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company completed multiple bilateral transactions with holders of the 2022 Notes in which the Company issued an aggregate 4.5 million shares of its common stock in exchange for $ 30.9 million aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes. Based upon the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the respective settlement dates, the Company recorded a net loss on early debt extinguishment of $ 0.1 million in connection with the transactions. The issuance of shares of common stock in exchange for the 2022 Notes was exempt from registration under the Securities Act, on the basis that the exchange was completed with existing holders of the Company’s securities, and no commission or other remuneration was paid or given for soliciting the exchange. The Company also reached agreements to retire an additional $ 49.5 million of aggregate principal, which will settle subsequent to June 30, 2021. This included $ 44.0 million of its Senior Secured Term Loan due 2025 and $ 1.5 million of 2025 Notes through similar open market purchases for an aggregate cost of $ 30.2 million, and by issuing an aggregate 0.5 million shares of its common stock in exchange for $ 4.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes in a similar manner noted above. Such amounts are reflected within the current portion of long-term debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2021. As a result of the Company’s open market purchases of its debt during the three months ended June 30, 2021, on July 7, 2021, the Company announced a Mandatory Repurchase Offer of up to $ 13.3 million of its 2024 Peabody Notes, at 73.840 % of their aggregate accreted value, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and a concurrent repurchase offer of priority lien obligations under the Company LC Agreement. The offers expire on August 6, 2021, unless extended by the Company. Finance Lease Obligations Refer to Note 9. “Leases” for additional information associated with the Company’s finance leases, which pertain to the financing of mining equipment used in operations. (12) Pension and Postretirement Benefit Costs The components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs, excluding the service cost for benefits earned, are included in “Net periodic benefit (credit) costs, excluding service cost” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Net periodic pension benefit included the following components: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 (Dollars in millions) Service cost for benefits earned $ 0.1 $ 0.1 $ 0.1 $ 0.1 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 5.1 7.0 10.2 14.0 Expected return on plan assets ( 5.7 ) ( 7.4 ) ( 11.4 ) ( 14.8 ) Net periodic pension benefit $ ( 0.5 ) $ ( 0.3 ) $ ( 1.1 ) $ ( 0.7 ) 23 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Annual contributions to the qualified plans are made in accordance with minimum funding standards and the Company’s agreement with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. Funding decisions also consider certain funded status thresholds defined by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (generally 80 %). As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s qualified plans were expected to be at or above the Pension Protection Act thresholds. The Company is not required to make any contributions to its qualified pension plans in 2021 based on minimum funding requirements and does not expect to make any discretionary contributions in 2021 at this time. Net periodic postretirement benefit (benefit) cost included the following components: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 (Dollars in millions) Service cost for benefits earned $ 0.3 $ 1.1 $ 0.5 $ 2.2 Interest cost on accumulated postretirement benefit obligation 2.9 5.4 5.8 10.9 Expected return on plan assets ( 0.2 ) ( 0.4 ) ( 0.4 ) ( 0.8 ) Amortization of prior service credit ( 11.0 ) ( 2.2 ) ( 22.0 ) ( 4.4 ) Net periodic postretirement benefit (benefit) cost $ ( 8.0 ) $ 3.9 $ ( 16.1 ) $ 7.9 In September 2020, the Company announced changes to its postretirement health care benefit plans for non-represented employees and retirees which reduced its accumulated postretirement benefit obligation, as further described in Note 15. “Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefits” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The reduction in liability was recorded with an offsetting balance in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” and is being amortized to earnings. The Company has established two Voluntary Employees Beneficiary Association (VEBA) trusts to pre-fund a portion of benefits for non-represented and represented retirees. The Company does not expect to make any discretionary contributions to either of the VEBA trusts in 2021 and plans to utilize a portion of VEBA assets to make certain benefit payments. (13) Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income The following table sets forth the after-tax components of accumulated other comprehensive income and changes thereto recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2021: Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Prior Service Credit Associated with Postretirement Plans Total Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Dollars in millions) December 31, 2020 $ 1.8 $ 204.0 $ 205.8 Reclassification from other comprehensive income to earnings — ( 22.0 ) ( 22.0 ) Current period change ( 0.4 ) — ( 0.4 ) June 30, 2021 $ 1.4 $ 182.0 $ 183.4 Postretirement health care and life insurance benefits reclassified from other comprehensive income to earnings of $ 11.0 million and $ 2.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $ 22.0 million and $ 4.4 million du ring the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, are included in “Net periodic benefit (credit) costs, excluding service cost” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. 24 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (14) Other Events From time to time, the Company initiates restructuring activities in connection with its repositioning efforts to appropriately align its cost structure or optimize its coal production relative to prevailing market conditions. Costs associated with restructuring actions can include the impact of early mine closures, voluntary and involuntary workforce reductions, office closures and other related activities. Costs associated with restructuring activities are recognized in the period incurred. Such charges included as “Restructuring charges” in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations amounted to $ 2.1 million and $ 4.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and $ 16.5 million and $ 23.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, were associated with both involuntary and voluntary workforce reductions. The Shoal Creek Mine remains idled as the Company continues activities to increase productivity, lower costs and improve yields from the operation in the future. The preparation plant upgrade project remains on schedule with completion expected in the middle of the third quarter of 2021. The Shoal Creek labor contract expired in April 2021, and negotiations with the workforce are ongoing. The Metropolitan Mine full workforce returned to the mine in early May. Development work at the mine has been ongoing and longwall production restarted late in the second quarter of 2021, with a ramp up to planned production levels in the third quarter of 2021. The underground workforce enterprise agreement expired in January 2021 and after a period of ongoing negotiation, an application was made to terminate the underground labor agreement. That application is pending. Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the Company executed transactions to sell its closed Millennium and Wilkie Creek Mines to reduce its closed mine reclamation liabilities and associated costs. The Company is in process of assessing the financial impacts of the sales, but anticipates recording cumulative gains of $ 40 million to $ 50 million in the third quarter of 202 1, with minimal cash consideration received. (15) Earnings per Share (EPS) Basic EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding. As such, the Company includes the share-based compensation awards in its potentially dilutive securities. Dilutive securities are not included in the computation of loss per share when a company reports a net loss from continuing operations as the impact would be anti-dilutive. For all but performance units, the potentially dilutive impact of the Company’s share-based compensation awards is determined using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, awards are treated as if they had been exercised with any proceeds used to repurchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Any incremental difference between the assumed number of shares issued and purchased is included in the diluted share computation. For performance units, their contingent features result in an assessment for any potentially dilutive common stock by using the end of the reporting period as if it were the end of the contingency period for all units granted. The computation of diluted EPS excluded aggregate share-based compensation awards of approximately 1.2 million and 2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 1.2 million and 2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for those periods. Because the potential dilutive impact of such share-based compensation awards is calculated under the treasury stock method, anti-dilution generally occurs when the exercise prices or unrecognized compensation cost per share of such awards are higher than the Company’s average stock price during the applicable period. Anti-dilution also occurs when a company reports a net loss from continuing operations, and the dilutive impact of all share-based compensation awards are excluded accordingly. 25 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The following illustrates the earnings allocation method utilized in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS. Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 (In millions, except per share data) EPS numerator: Loss from continuing operations, net of income taxes $ ( 23.0 ) $ ( 1,545.3 ) $ ( 100.7 ) $ ( 1,674.6 ) Less: Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests 3.3 ( 3.4 ) 3.7 ( 5.2 ) Loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders ( 26.3 ) ( 1,541.9 ) ( 104.4 ) ( 1,669.4 ) Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes ( 2.3 ) ( 2.3 ) ( 4.3 ) ( 4.5 ) Net loss attributable to common stockholders $ ( 28.6 ) $ ( 1,544.2 ) $ ( 108.7 ) $ ( 1,673.9 ) EPS denominator: Weighted average shares outstanding — basic and diluted 101.2 97.9 99.8 97.5 Basic and diluted EPS attributable to common stockholders: Loss from continuing operations $ ( 0.26 ) $ ( 15.76 ) $ ( 1.05 ) $ ( 17.12 ) Loss from discontinued operations ( 0.02 ) ( 0.02 ) ( 0.04 ) ( 0.04 ) Net loss attributable to common stockholders $ ( 0.28 ) $ ( 15.78 ) $ ( 1.09 ) $ ( 17.16 ) (16) Financial Instruments and Other Guarantees The Company is a party to various guarantees and financial instruments that carry off-balance-she et risk and are not reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2021, such instruments included $ 1,555.0 million of surety bonds and $ 435.4 million of letters of credit. Such financial instruments provide support for the Company’s reclamation bonding requirements, lease obligations, insurance policies and various other performance guarantees. Reclamation bonding requirements are typically established by statute or under mining permits. At June 30, 2021, the Company’s asset retirement obligations of $ 741.8 million were supported by surety bonds of $ 1,379.0 million, as well as letters of credit issued under the Company’s receivables securitization program and the Company LC Agreement. Letters of credit issued at June 30, 2021 which served as collateral for surety bonds in support of asset retirement obligations amounted to $ 310.5 million. In November 2020, the Company entered into a Surety Agreement with the providers of 99 % of its surety bond portfolio (Participating Sureties) to resolve previous collateral demands made by the Participating Sureties. In accordance with the Surety Agreement, the Company initially provided $ 75.0 million of collateral, in the form of letters of credit. Upon completion of the Refinancing Transactions described in Note 11. “Long-term Debt,” other provisions of the Surety Agreement became effective. In particular, the Company granted second liens on $ 200.0 million of certain mining equipment and will post an additional $ 25.0 million of collateral per year from 2021 through 2024 for the benefit of the Participating Sureties. The collateral postings may also further increase to the extent the Company generates more than $ 100.0 million of free cash flow (as defined in the Surety Agreement) in any twelve-month period or has cumulative asset sales in excess of $ 10.0 million, as of the last quarter end during the term of the agreement. Further, the Participating Sureties have agreed to a standstill through the earlier of December 31, 2025, or the maturity of the Credit Agreement (currently March 31, 2025), during which time, the Participating Sureties will not demand any additional collateral, draw on letters of credit posted for the benefit of themselves or cancel any existing surety bond. The Company will not pay dividends or make share repurchases during the standstill period, unless otherwise agreed between parties. In connection withe Refinancing Transactions, at the Settlement Date, all letters of credit issued under the Company’s former revolving credit facility were deemed issued under the Company LC Agreement in support of the same obligations. The Company periodically evaluates the instruments for on-balance sheet treatment based on the amount of exposure under the instrument and the likelihood of required performance. The Company does not expect any material losses to result from these guarantees or off-balance-sheet instruments in excess of liabilities provided for in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. 26 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Accounts Receivable Securitization The Company is party to an accounts receivable securitization agreement (Securitization Program) which expires in April 2022 and provides up to $ 250.0 million in funding, limited to the availability of eligible receivables, and may be secured by a combination of collateral and the trade receivables underlying the program, from time to time. Funding capacity under the Securitization Program may also be utilized for letters of credit in support of other obligations. The borrowings under the Securitization Program bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.5 % per annum and remain outstanding throughout the term of the agreement, subject to the Company maintaining sufficient eligible receivables, by continuing to contribute trade receivables, unless an event of default occurs. The Securitization Program is subject to customary events of default. Under the terms of the Securitization Program, the Company contributes the trade receivables of its participating subsidiaries on a revolving basis to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary, which then sells the receivables to unaffiliated banks. The Securitization Program does not receive off-balance sheet accounting treatment due to the Company’s ability to repurchase the receivables in certain circumstances. At June 30, 2021, the Com pany had no outstanding borrowings and $ 125.5 million o f letters of credit issued under the Securitization Program. The letters of credit were primarily in support of reclamation obligations. Availability under the Securitizatio n Program, which is adjusted for certain ineligible receivables, was $ 0.3 million at June 30, 2021. The Company had $ 13.6 million of cash collateral posted under the Securitization Program at June 30, 2021 due to outstanding letters of credit temporarily exceeding the balance of eligible receivables at quarter-end and none at December 31, 2020 . This cash collateral is recorded as “Restricted cash” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company incurred interest and fees associated with the Securitization Program of $ 0.7 million and $ 0.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $ 1.4 million and $ 1.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which have been recorded as “Interest expense” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Other Substantially all of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries provide financial guarantees under long-term debt agreements entered into by the Company. The maximum amounts payable under the Company’s debt agreements are equal to the respective principal and interest payments. (17) Commitments and Contingencies Commitments Unconditional Purchase Obligations As of June 30, 2021, purchase commitments for capital expenditures were $ 28.1 million, all of which is obligated within the next four years, with $ 20.6 million obligated within the next 12 months. There were no other material changes to the Company’s commitments from the information provided in Note 24. “Commitments and Contingencies” to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Contingencies From time to time, the Company or its subsidiaries are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business or related to indemnities or historical operations. The Company believes it has recorded adequate reserves for these liabilities. The Company discusses its significant legal proceedings below, including ongoing proceedings and those that impacted the Company’s results of operations for the periods presented. 27 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Litigation Relating to Continuing Operations Securities Class Action. On September 28, 2020, the Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and Retirement System brought a lawsuit, styled In Re Peabody Energy Corporation Securities Litigation No. 1:20-cv-08024 (PKC), against the Company and certain of its officers in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the Court) on behalf of a putative class of shareholders (Plaintiffs) who held Company stock between April 3, 2017 and October 28, 2019, for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder (Securities Class Action). Plaintiffs allege that the defendants made false or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose certain adverse facts pertaining to safety practices at the Company’s North Goonyella Mine and the events leading up to a fire at the mine, and that, after a September 28, 2018 fire at the mine, made false or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose certain adverse facts pertaining to the feasibility of the Company’s plan to restart the mine after the fire. The Company believes the lawsuit lacks merit and intends to vigorously defend against the allegations. On January 12, 2021, the Court appointed the Oregon Public Employees Retirement Fund as lead plaintiff. On January 25, 2021, the Court entered a scheduling order for this matter. Plaintiffs filed their amended complaint on March 19, 2021. The defendants filed a pre-motion letter on April 30, 2021 while the Plaintiffs’ response letter was filed on May 6, 2021. The defendants filed their motion to dismiss on June 7, 2021. The Plaintiffs’ opposition brief to the motion to dismiss was filed on July 22, 2021. Additional briefings at this phase of litigation are anticipated to be completed by the conclusion of August 2021. Derivative Actions. On December 22, 2020, a plaintiff (Phelps), putatively on behalf of the Company, brought a shareholder derivative lawsuit, styled Phelps v. Samantha Algaze, et al. , Case No. 1:20-cv-01747-UNA (D. Del. filed Dec. 22, 2020), in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against certain directors and former officers of the Company, as defendants. The Company was also named as a nominal defendant. The plaintiff did not make a demand on the Company’s board before instituting the lawsuit and alleges such demand would have been futile. In the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that the defendants failed to disclose adverse facts relating to the safety practices at the Company’s North Goonyella Mine, thereby leading to a September 28, 2018 fire, and allegedly failed to disclose adverse facts pertaining to the feasibility of reopening the mine. The derivative complaint alleges (i) contribution against certain current and former officers for securities fraud based on the Securities Class Action, and against all defendants, (ii) breach of fiduciary duties, (iii) waste of corporate assets for causing the Company to incur legal liability and (iv) unjust enrichment. On February 10, 2021, a second plaintiff (Di Fusco), putatively on behalf of the Company, filed a similar shareholder derivative lawsuit, styled Di Fusco v. Glenn Kellow, et al. , Case No. 1:21-cv-00183-UNA (D. Del. filed Feb. 10, 2021), in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against the directors and current and former officers of the Company, as defendants. The Company was named as a nominal defendant. This suit makes claims similar to those made in the Phelps matter, but asserts a claim for alleged misstatements in a proxy statement under Section 14(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. In late March 2021, the parties filed a stipulation agreeing to consolidate and stay both derivative actions for judicial efficiency and cost until the Court ruled on the motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action. The Company also believes that the derivative actions lack merit and intended to vigorously defend against the allegations. Other At times, the Company becomes a party to other disputes, including those related to contract miner performance, claims, lawsuits, arbitration proceedings, regulatory investigations and administrative procedures in the ordinary course of business in the U.S., Australia and other countries where the Company does business. Based on current information, the Company believes that such other pending or threatened proceedings are likely to be resolved without a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company reassesses the probability and estimability of contingent losses as new information becomes available. (18) Segment Information The Company reports its results of operations primarily through the following reportable segments: Seaborne Thermal Mining, Seaborne Metallurgical Mining, Powder River Basin Mining, Other U.S. Thermal Mining and Corporate and Other. The Company’s chief operating decision maker uses Adjusted EBITDA as the primary metric to measure the segments’ operating performance. 28 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as loss from continuing operations before deducting net interest expense, income taxes, asset retirement obligation expenses and depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is also adjusted for the discrete items that management excluded in analyzing the segments’ operating performance, as displayed in the reconciliation below. Management believes non-GAAP performance measures are used by investors to measure the Company’s operating performance and lenders to measure the Company’s ability to incur and service debt. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to serve as an alternative to U.S. GAAP measures of performance and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies.
