UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) Basis of Presentation The unaudited 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, revenue 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, 2023. 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, 2023 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheet at that date. The Company’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2024. (2) Newly Adopted Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented Newly Adopted Accounting Standards The Company did not adopt any new accounting standards that had a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures. Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented Joint Ventures. In August 2023, Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-05 was issued, which requires joint ventures to recognize and measure the initial contributions of monetary and nonmonetary assets and its net assets at fair value. The Company is required to apply the amendments for joint ventures with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. A joint venture that was formed before January 1, 2025 may apply the amendments retrospectively. The Company will apply the guidance to any newly formed joint ventures. Segments. In November 2023, ASU 2023-07 was issued, which requires public entities to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss that are currently required annually; disclose significant expense categories and amounts that are easily computable from the management reports that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM); disclose how the CODM uses each reported measure to allocate resources; and disclose the name and title of the position of the individual identified as the CODM. The Company is required to adopt the amendments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects this ASU to only impact its disclosures with no impacts to its consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Income Taxes . In December 2023, ASU 2023-09 was issued, which requires public entities to disclose more information primarily related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The guidance also eliminates certain existing disclosure requirements related to uncertain tax positions and unrecognized deferred tax liabilities. The Company is required to adopt the amendments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments should be applied prospectively, with a retrospective option. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects this ASU to only impact its disclosures with no impacts to its consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. (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, 2023, for the Company’s policies regarding “Revenue” and “Accounts receivable, net.” 7 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Disaggregation of Revenue Revenue by product type and market is set forth in the following tables.

(4) Inventories “Inventories, net” as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 consisted of the following: March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 (Dollars in millions) Materials and supplies, net $ 161.4 $ 153.0 Raw coal 125.8 105.6 Saleable coal 117.1 93.2 Inventories, net $ 404.3 $ 351.8 Materials and supplies inventories, net presented above have been shown net of reserves of $ 6.4 million and $ 7.2 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. (5) Equity Method Investments The Company’s equity method investments include its joint venture interest in Middlemount Coal Pty Ltd (Middlemount), R3 Renewables LLC (R3) and certain other equity method investments. The table below summarizes the book value of those investments, which are reported in “Investments and other assets” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and the related “Loss (income) from equity affiliates”: Loss (Income) from Equity Affiliates Book Value at Three Months Ended March 31, March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 2024 2023 (Dollars in millions) Equity method investment related to Middlemount $ 40.1 $ 42.5 $ 0.4 $ ( 2.6 ) Equity method investment related to R3 8.3 7.1 3.3 0.8 Total equity method investments $ 48.4 $ 49.6 $ 3.7 $ ( 1.8 ) R3 In March 2022, the Company entered into a joint venture with unrelated partners to form R3.

The Company contributed $ 4.5 million and $ 2.0 million to R3 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. 9 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (6) Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements Derivatives 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 and (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. These risk management activities are actively monitored for compliance with the Company’s risk management policies. On a limited basis, the Company engages in the direct and brokered trading of coal and freight-related contracts. 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. Foreign Currency The Company utilizes options and collars to hedge currency risk associated with anticipated Australian dollar operating expenditures. As of March 31, 2024, the Company held average rate options with an aggregate notional amount of $ 516.0 million Australian dollars to hedge currency risk associated with anticipated Australian dollar operating expenditures over the nine-month period ending December 31, 2024. The instruments 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 $ 0.69 to $ 0.72 over the nine-month period ending December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Company also held purchased collars with an aggregate notional amount of $ 431.0 million Australian dollars related to anticipated Australian dollar operating expenditures during the nine-month period ending December 31, 2024. The purchased collars have a floor and ceiling of approximately $ 0.59 and $ 0.72 , respectively, whereby the Company will incur a loss on the instruments for rates below the floor and a gain for rates above the ceiling. Derivative Contracts Related to Forecasted Sales As of March 31, 2024, the Company had no coal derivative contracts related to its forecasted sales. Historically, such financial contracts have included futures and forwards. Financial Trading Contracts On a limited basis, the Company may enter coal or freight derivative contracts for trading purposes. Such financial contracts may include futures, forwards and options. The Company held nominal financial trading contracts as of March 31, 2024. 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. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had asset derivatives comprised of foreign currency option contracts with a fair value of $ 0.7 million and $ 6.2 million, respectively. The net amount of asset derivatives is included in “Other current assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. 10 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 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. The tables below show the amounts of pretax gains and losses related to the Company’s derivatives and their classification within the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Total loss recognized in income Loss realized in income on derivatives Unrealized loss recognized in income on derivatives Derivative Instrument Classification (Dollars in millions) Foreign currency option contracts Operating costs and expenses $ ( 6.5 ) $ ( 0.8 ) $ ( 5.7 ) Total $ ( 6.5 ) $ ( 0.8 ) $ ( 5.7 ) Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Total (loss) gain recognized in income (Loss) gain realized in income on derivatives Unrealized (loss) gain recognized in income on derivatives Derivative Instrument Classification (Dollars in millions) Foreign currency option contracts Operating costs and expenses $ ( 5.0 ) $ ( 2.8 ) $ ( 2.2 ) Derivative contracts related to forecasted sales Revenue 68.1 ( 50.6 ) 118.7 Financial trading contracts Revenue — 17.3 ( 17.3 ) Total $ 63.1 $ ( 36.1 ) $ 99.2 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. 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 asset positions for which fair value is measured on a recurring basis. March 31, 2024 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (Dollars in millions) Foreign currency option contracts $ — $ 0.7 $ — $ 0.7 Equity securities 0.9 — — 0.9 Total net assets $ 0.9 $ 0.7 $ — $ 1.6 December 31, 2023 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (Dollars in millions) Foreign currency option contracts $ — $ 6.2 $ — $ 6.2 Equity securities 0.4 — — 0.4 Total net assets $ 0.4 $ 6.2 $ — $ 6.6 11 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 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. • Derivative contracts related to forecasted sales and financial 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 currently based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets (Level 1). Other Financial Instruments . The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values for other financial instruments as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023: • Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, including those within the Company’s accounts receivable securitization program, margining cash, 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). Market risk associated with the Company’s fixed-rate long-term debt relates to the potential reduction in the fair value 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. March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 (Dollars in millions) Total debt at par value $ 345.3 $ 342.3 Less: Unamortized debt issuance costs ( 7.6 ) ( 8.1 ) Net carrying amount $ 337.7 $ 334.2 Estimated fair value $ 477.0 $ 483.9 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 to credit risk is substantially with electric utilities, energy marketers, steel producers and nonfinancial trading houses. Significant increases or decreases in the inputs in isolation could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The unobservable inputs do not have a direct interrelationship; therefore, a change in one unobservable input would not necessarily correspond with a change in another unobservable input. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the entity in which the Company held a Level 3 investment in equity securities completed a merger transaction and its shares were exchanged for the shares of the newly-combined entity, which are publicly traded. The Company recorded an impairment loss of $ 2.0 million upon the exchange of shares. The Company had no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company’s policy is to value all transfers between levels using the beginning of period valuation. 12 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (7) Property, Plant, Equipment and Mine Development The composition of property, plant, equipment and mine development, net, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is set forth in the table below: March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 (Dollars in millions) Land and coal interests $ 2,475.1 $ 2,475.2 Buildings and improvements 645.4 647.6 Machinery and equipment 1,842.0 1,787.6 Less: Accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization ( 2,132.3 ) ( 2,066.3 ) Property, plant, equipment and mine development, net $ 2,830.2 $ 2,844.1 Asset Impairment and Other At-Risk Assets The Company identified certain assets with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $ 219 million at March 31, 2024 in its Other U.S. Thermal segment whose recoverability is most sensitive to customer concentration risk. (8) Income Taxes The Company's effective tax rate before remeasurement for the three months ended March 31, 2024 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 provisions of $ 20.1 million and $ 118.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, included a tax benefit of $ 5.8 million and a tax provision of $ 0.4 million, respectively, related to the remeasurement of foreign income tax accounts. The Company’s estimated full year pretax income and income tax expense are expected to be primarily generated in Australia. (9) Long-term Debt The Company’s total indebtedness as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 consisted of the following: Debt Instrument (defined below, as applicable) March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 (Dollars in millions) 3.250 % Convertible Senior Notes due March 2028 (2028 Convertible Notes) $ 320.0 $ 320.0 Finance lease obligations 25.3 22.3 Less: Debt issuance costs ( 7.6 ) ( 8.1 ) 337.7 334.2 Less: Current portion of long-term debt 14.4 13.5 Long-term debt $ 323.3 $ 320.7 2028 Convertible Notes On March 1, 2022, through a private offering, the Company issued the 2028 Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $ 320.0 million. The 2028 Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are governed under an indenture. The Company used the proceeds of the offering of the 2028 Convertible Notes and available cash to redeem its then-existing senior secured notes, and to pay related premiums, fees and expenses relating to the offering and redemptions. The Company capitalized $ 11.2 million of debt issuance costs related to the offering, which are being amortized over the terms of the notes. The 2028 Convertible Notes will mature on March 1, 2028, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms. The 2028 Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.250 % per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year. 13 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The initial conversion rate for the 2028 Convertible Notes was 50.3816 shares of the Company’s common stock per $ 1,000 principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes, which represented an initial conversion price of approximately $ 19.85 per share of the Company’s common stock. The terms of the indenture require conversion rate adjustments upon the payment of dividends to holders of the Company’s common stock once such cumulative dividends impact the conversion rate by at least 1 %. Effective February 21, 2024, the conversion rate was increased to 51.0440 shares of the Company’s common stock per $ 1,000 principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes, which represented an adjusted conversion price of approximately $ 19.59 per share of the Company’s common stock. The conversion rate is subject to further adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the indenture. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company’s reported common stock prices did not prompt the conversion feature of the 2028 Convertible Notes. As a result, the 2028 Convertible Notes will not be convertible at the option of the holders during the second quarter of 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the if-converted value of the 2028 Convertible Notes exceeded the principal amount by $ 76.3 million. Revolving Credit Facility The Company established a new revolving credit facility with a maximum aggregate principal amount of $ 320.0 million in revolving commitments by entering into a credit agreement, dated as of January 18, 2024 (the 2024 Credit Agreement), by and among the Company, as borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Company paid aggregate debt issuance costs of $ 9.7 million. The revolving commitments and any related loans, if applicable (any such loans, the Revolving Loans), established by the 2024 Credit Agreement terminate or mature, as applicable, on January 18, 2028, subject to certain conditions relating to the Company’s outstanding 2028 Convertible Notes. The Revolving Loans bear interest at a secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) plus an applicable margin ranging from 3.50 % to 4.25 %, depending on the Company’s total net leverage ratio (as defined under the 2024 Credit Agreement) or a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.50 % to 3.25 %, at the Company’s option. Letters of credit issued under the 2024 Credit Agreement incur a combined fee equal to an applicable margin ranging from 3.50 % to 4.25 % plus a fronting fee equal to 0.125 % per annum. Unused capacity under the 2024 Credit Agreement bears a commitment fee of 0.50 % per annum. As of March 31, 2024, the 2024 Credit Agreement had only been utilized for letters of credit, including $ 99.0 million outstanding as of March 31, 2024. These letters of credit support the Company’s reclamation bonding requirements, lease obligations, insurance policies and various other performance guarantees as further described in Note 12. “Financial Instruments and Other Guarantees.” Availability under the 2024 Credit Agreement was $ 221.0 million at March 31, 2024. The 2024 Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions (including compliance with financial ratios), may limit the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness, make certain restricted payments or investments, 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. The 2024 Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries, as well as a pledge of two Australian subsidiaries. 14 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Interest Charges The following table presents the components of the Company’s interest expense related to its indebtedness and financial assurance instruments such as surety bonds and letters of credit. Additionally, the table sets forth the amount of cash paid for interest and the amount of non-cash interest expense primarily related to the amortization of debt issuance costs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 (Dollars in millions) 2028 Convertible Notes $ 2.6 $ 2.6 Finance lease obligations 0.4 0.5 Financial assurance instruments 8.8 12.0 Amortization of debt issuance costs 1.2 1.6 Other 1.7 1.7 Interest expense $ 14.7 $ 18.4 Cash paid for interest $ 11.5 $ 19.1 Non-cash interest expense $ 1.3 $ 1.6 Covenant Compliance The Company was compliant with all relevant covenants under its debt and other finance agreements at March 31, 2024. (10) 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, excluding service cost” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Net periodic pension cost included the following components: Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 (Dollars in millions) Interest cost on projected benefit obligation $ 1.6 $ 7.4 Expected return on plan assets ( 1.2 ) ( 6.6 ) Net periodic pension cost $ 0.4 $ 0.8 Prior to January 1, 2024, the Company had two qualified pension plans. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company settled its pension obligation for one of its qualified plans. Refer to Note 14. “Pension and Savings Plans” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, for information regarding the settlement of the plan’s obligation. Annual contributions to the remaining qualified plan 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. As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s remaining qualified plan was expected to be at or above the Pension Protection Act thresholds. The Company is not required to make any cash contributions to its remaining qualified pension plan in 2024 based on minimum funding requirements and does not expect to make any discretionary cash contributions in 2024. 15 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Net periodic postretirement benefit credit included the following components: Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 (Dollars in millions) Service cost for benefits earned $ 0.1 $ 0.1 Interest cost on accumulated postretirement benefit obligation 2.3 2.5 Expected return on plan assets ( 0.1 ) ( 0.1 ) Amortization of prior service credit ( 13.2 ) ( 13.4 ) Net periodic postretirement benefit credit $ ( 10.9 ) $ ( 10.9 ) The Company has established a Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association (VEBA) trust to pre-fund a portion of benefits for non-represented retirees. The Company does not expect to make any discretionary contributions to the VEBA trust in 2024 and plans to utilize a portion of VEBA assets to make certain benefit payments. (11) 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 2028 Convertible Notes and share-based compensation awards in its potentially dilutive securities. Generally, 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. A conversion of the 2028 Convertible Notes may result in payment in the Company’s common stock. For diluted EPS purposes, the potentially dilutive common stock is assumed to have been converted at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later). In periods where the potentially dilutive common stock is included in the computation of diluted EPS, the numerator will be adjusted to add back tax adjusted interest expense, which includes the amortization of debt issuance costs, related to the convertible debt. The computation of diluted EPS excluded aggregate share-based compensation awards of less than 0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 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. 16 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 March 31, 2024 2023 (In millions, except per share data) Basic EPS numerator: Income from continuing operations, net of income taxes $ 45.7 $ 284.1 Less: Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests 5.4 14.3 Income from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders 40.3 269.8 Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes ( 0.7 ) ( 1.3 ) Net income attributable to common stockholders $ 39.6 $ 268.5 Diluted EPS numerator: Income from continuing operations, net of income taxes $ 45.7 $ 284.1 Add: Tax adjusted interest expense related to 2028 Convertible Notes 3.1 2.6 Less: Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests 5.4 14.3 Income from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders 43.4 272.4 Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes ( 0.7 ) ( 1.3 ) Net income attributable to common stockholders $ 42.7 $ 271.1 EPS denominator: Weighted average shares outstanding — basic 128.1 144.6 Dilutive impact of share-based compensation awards 0.6 0.7 Dilutive impact of 2028 Convertible Notes 16.2 16.1 Weighted average shares outstanding — diluted 144.9 161.4 Basic EPS attributable to common stockholders: Income from continuing operations $ 0.32 $ 1.87 Loss from discontinued operations ( 0.01 ) ( 0.01 ) Net income attributable to common stockholders $ 0.31 $ 1.86 Diluted EPS attributable to common stockholders: Income from continuing operations $ 0.30 $ 1.69 Loss from discontinued operations ( 0.01 ) ( 0.01 ) Net income attributable to common stockholders $ 0.29 $ 1.68 (12) Financial Instruments and Other Guarantees In the normal course of business, 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. Such financial instruments provide support for the Company’s reclamation bonding requirements, lease obligations, insurance policies and various other performance guarantees. 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. 17 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments that carry off-balance-sheet risk. March 31, 2024 Reclamation Support Other Support (1) Total (Dollars in millions) Surety bonds $ 962.1 $ 108.2 $ 1,070.3 Letters of credit (2) 53.6 98.5 152.1 1,015.7 206.7 1,222.4 Less: Letters of credit in support of surety bonds (3) ( 53.6 ) ( 14.4 ) ( 68.0 ) Obligations supported, net $ 962.1 $ 192.3 $ 1,154.4 (1) Instruments support obligations related to pension and health care plans, workers’ compensation, property and casualty insurance, customer and vendor contracts and certain restoration ancillary to prior mining activities. (2) Amounts do not include cash-collateralized letters of credit. (3) Certain letters of credit serve as collateral for surety bonds at the request of surety bond providers. Surety Agreement Amendment and Collateral Requirements In April 2023, the Company amended its existing agreement with the providers of its surety bond portfolio, dated November 6, 2020. Under the April 2023 amendment, the Company and its surety providers agreed to a maximum aggregate collateral amount of $ 721.8 million based upon bonding levels at the effective date of the amendment. This maximum collateral amount will vary prospectively as bonding levels increase or decrease. The amendment extended the agreement through December 31, 2026. In order to maintain the maximum collateral agreement, the Company must remain compliant with a minimum liquidity test and a maximum net leverage ratio, as measured each quarter. The minimum liquidity test requires the Company to maintain liquidity at the greater of $ 400 million or the difference between the penal sum of all surety bonds and the amount of collateral posted in favor of surety providers, which was $ 521.8 million at March 31, 2024. The Company must also maintain a maximum net leverage ratio of 1.5 to 1.0 , where the numerator consists of its funded debt, net of cash, and the denominator consists of its Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months. For purposes of calculating the ratio, only 50 % of the outstanding principal amount of the Company’s 2028 Convertible Notes is deemed to be funded debt. The Company’s ability to pay dividends and make share repurchases is also subject to the quarterly minimum liquidity test. The Company is in compliance with such requirements at March 31, 2024. To fund the maximum collateral amount, the Company deposited $ 566.3 million into trust accounts for the benefit of certain surety providers on March 31, 2023. The remainder was comprised of $ 140.5 million of existing cash-collateralized letters of credit and $ 15.0 million already held on behalf of a surety provider. The amendment became effective on April 14, 2023, when the Company terminated a then-existing credit agreement which, as amended, provided for $ 237.2 million of capacity for irrevocable standby letters of credit (LC Facility). LC Facility The now-terminated LC Facility had an original capacity of $ 324.0 million and was subsequently amended at various dates to reduce its capacity and effect certain other changes, including in February 2023 to reduce capacity by $ 65.0 million, accelerate the expiration date to December 31, 2023 from December 31, 2024, and eliminate the prepayment premium due upon any reduction of commitments thereunder prior to July 29, 2023. The Company recorded early debt extinguishment losses of $ 6.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily as a result of the February 2023 amendment. Prior to its termination, undrawn letters of credit under the LC Facility bore interest at 6.00 % per annum and unused commitments were subject to a 0.50 % per annum commitment fee. 18 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Accounts Receivable Securitization In 2017, the Company entered into the Sixth Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, as amended from time to time (the Receivables Purchase Agreement.) The receivables securitization program authorized under the agreement (Securitization Program) is subject to customary events of default. The Receivables Purchase Agreement was amended in February 2023 to increase the available funding capacity from $ 175.0 million to $ 225.0 million and adjust the relevant interest rate for borrowings to a SOFR. Such funding is accounted for as a secured borrowing, limited to the availability of eligible receivables, and may be secured by a combination of collateral and the trade receivables underlying the program. Funding capacity under the Securitization Program may also be utilized for letters of credit in support of other obligations, which has been the Company’s primary utilization. Borrowings under the Securitization Program bear interest at SOFR plus 2.1 % per annum and remain outstanding throughout the term of the agreement, subject to the Company maintaining sufficient eligible receivables. At March 31, 2024, the Com pany h ad no outstanding borrowings and $ 53.1 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Securitization Program. Availability under the Securitization Program, which is adjusted for certain ineligible receivables, was $ 80.7 million at March 31, 2024. The Company was not required to post cash collateral under the Securitization Program at March 31, 2024. The Company incurred interest and fees associated with the Securitization Program of $ 0.8 million and $ 1.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which have been recorded as “Interest expense” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Credit Support Facilities In February 2022, the Company entered into an agreement which provides up to $ 250.0 million of capacity for irrevocable standby letters of credit, primarily to support reclamation bonding requirements. The agreement requires the Company to provide cash collateral at a level of 103 % of the aggregate amount of letters of credit outstanding under the arrangement (limited to $ 5.0 million total excess collateralization.) Outstanding letters of credit bear a fixed fee in the amount of 0.75 % per annum. The Company receives a variable deposit rate on the amount of cash collateral posted in support of letters of credit. The agreement has an initial expiration date of December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2024, letters of credit of $ 116.6 million were outstanding under the agreement, which were collateralized by cash of $ 120.1 million. In December 2023, the Company established cash-backed bank guarantee facilities, primarily to support Australian reclamation bonding requirements. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company capitalized $ 1.1 million of debt issuance costs related to these bank guarantee facilities. The Company receives a variable deposit rate on the amount of cash collateral posted in support of the bank guarantee facilities, which mature at various dates between 2026 and 2029. At March 31, 2024, the bank guarantee facilities were backed by cash of $ 177.0 million. 19 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Restricted Cash and Collateral The following table summarizes the Company’s “Restricted cash and collateral” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Restricted cash balances are held in controlled accounts with minimum balance requirements; withdrawals are subject to the approval of account beneficiaries, such as the Company’s surety providers, who have perfected security interests in the funds. The Company’s other cash collateral generally includes deposits held by regulatory authorities or financial institutions over which the Company has no control or ability to access. March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 (Dollars in millions) Restricted cash (1) Surety trust accounts (2) $ 413.5 $ 444.0 Credit support facilities (2) 297.1 236.9 710.6 680.9 Other cash collateral (1) Deposits with regulatory authorities for reclamation and other obligations 125.4 276.7 125.4 276.7 Restricted cash and collateral $ 836.0 $ 957.6 (1) Restricted cash balances are combined with unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows; changes between unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash balances are thus not reflected in the operating, investing or financing activities therein. Changes in other cash collateral balances are reflected as operating activities therein. (2) Surety trust accounts, the funding for collateralized letters of credit and cash supporting the bank guarantee facilities are comprised of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less; interest and other earnings on such funds accrue to the Company. (13) Commitments and Contingencies Commitments Unconditional Purchase Obligations As of March 31, 2024, purchase commitments for capital expenditures were $ 100.0 million, all of which is obligated within the next two years, with $ 92.9 million obligated within the next 12 months. There were no other material changes to the Company’s commitments from the information provided in Note 21. “Commitments and Contingencies” to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. 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 consolidated results of operations for the periods presented. Litigation and Matters Relating to Continuing Operations Metropolitan Mine Stormwater Discharge. Significantly high rainfall in New South Wales, including unprecedented rain totals at the Metropolitan Mine site resulted in stormwater being discharged from the mine site on several occasions in 2021 and 2022. On September 6, 2023, the Environment Protection Authority commenced a prosecution for five breaches of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 relating to the stormwater discharges. On March 15, 2024, the Company pled guilty to two of the charges related to water pollution, and two charges related to a failure to adequately maintain plant and equipment were consolidated into one charge to which the Company also pled guilty. No plea has been entered for the remaining charge that has been held over to a sentencing hearing to be scheduled later in the year. Penalties will be determined at that sentencing hearing. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded an immaterial provision to establish a current liability that the Company believes is probable and reasonably estimable. 20 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Oregon Climate Change Lawsuit. On July 20, 2023, Peabody Energy was served with a summons issued on behalf of Multnomah County, Oregon. The complaint seeks damages from the Company and other major energy producers for allegedly causing an “extreme heat event” in Multnomah County in late June and early July 2021. The causes of action, pursuant to Oregon state law, include a failure to warn, false or misleading advertisement and public nuisance. The Company will defend the claim and will continue to assert all applicable defenses available in regards to these claims. 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 consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company reassesses the probability and estimability of contingent losses as new information becomes available. (14) Segment Information The Company reports its results of operations primarily through the following reportable segments: Seaborne Thermal, Seaborne Metallurgical, Powder River Basin, Other U.S. Thermal and Corporate and Other. The Company’s CODM, defined as its Chief Executive Officer, uses Adjusted EBITDA as the primary metric to measure the segments’ operating performance and allocate resources. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as income 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 this non-GAAP performance measure is also used by investors to measure the Company’s operating performance. 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. Reportable segment results were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 (Dollars in millions) Revenue: Seaborne Thermal $ 283.9 $ 346.5 Seaborne Metallurgical 247.0 288.4 Powder River Basin 254.1 305.3 Other U.S. Thermal 191.6 249.4 Corporate and Other 7.0 174.4 Total $ 983.6 $ 1,364.0 Adjusted EBITDA: Seaborne Thermal $ 93.8 $ 164.0 Seaborne Metallurgical 48.3 90.8 Powder River Basin 16.4 35.8 Other U.S. Thermal 46.5 64.2 Corporate and Other ( 44.5 ) 35.8 Total $ 160.5 $ 390.6 21 Table of Contents PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) A reconciliation of consolidated income from continuing operations, net of income taxes to Adjusted EBITDA follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 (Dollars in millions) Income from continuing operations, net of income taxes $ 45.7 $ 284.1 Depreciation, depletion and amortization 79.8 76.3 Asset retirement obligation expenses 12.9 15.4 Restructuring charges 0.1 0.1 Asset impairment — 2.0 Provision for NARM loss 1.8 — Changes in amortization of basis difference related to equity affiliates ( 0.4 ) ( 0.3 ) Interest expense 14.7 18.4 Net loss on early debt extinguishment — 6.8 Interest income ( 19.2 ) ( 13.1 ) Unrealized gains on derivative contracts related to forecasted sales — ( 118.7 ) Unrealized losses on foreign currency option contracts 5.7 2.2 Take-or-pay contract-based intangible recognition ( 0.7 ) ( 0.6 ) Income tax provision 20.1 118.0 Adjusted EBITDA $ 160.5 $ 390.6 (15) Other Events Coal Deposit Acquisition The Company entered into a definitive agreement dated October 26, 2023, to acquire the southern part of the Wards Well tenements (Wards Well area) which are adjacent to the Company’s Centurion Mine in Queensland, Australia. The acquisition was completed on April 16, 2024 for cash consideration of approximately $ 134 million and a contingent royalty of up to $ 200 million. The royalty will only be payable once the Company has recovered its investment and development costs of the Wards Well area and if the average sales price achieved exceeds certain thresholds. No royalty is payable if the Company does not commence mining in the Wards Well area. Share Repurchases During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased approximately 3.2 million shares of its common stock for $ 80.5 million, including commission fees. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had accrued excise taxes of $ 4.0 million related to share repurchases, which were unpaid at March 31, 2024. The Company includes commission fees and excise taxes, as incurred, with the cost of treasury stock. At March 31, 2024, $ 569.6 million remained available under its share repurchase program. North Antelope Rochelle Mine Tornado On June 23, 2023, the Company’s North Antelope Rochelle Mine sustained damage from a tornado which led to a temporary suspension of operations. The mine resumed operations on June 25, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a provision for loss of $ 1.8 million for incremental repair costs related to the tornado damage. The Company anticipates that immaterial incremental repair costs will continue to be recognized in the second quarter of 2024.
