−Removed: Coal Mining operating profit in 2022 is expected to decrease significantly compared with 2021, both including and excluding the contract termination fees.
+Added: Coal Mining operating profit in both the second half and for the full year of 2022 is expected to decrease significantly compared with the respective 2021 periods, both including and excluding the contract termination payments received in 2022 and 2021.
The expected reduction in operating profit is primarily the result of reduced earnings at both consolidated and unconsolidated Coal Mining operations as well as an anticipated increase in operating expenses.
−Removed: The increase in operating expenses is primarily due to expected higher outside services and professional fees.
−Removed: Results at the consolidated mining operations are expected to decrease significantly in 2022 from 2021 primarily due to expected substantially lower earnings at MLMC driven by an anticipated reduction in customer demand, predominantly in the second half of 2022, from higher than average levels in 2021.
−Removed: Lower customer demand, expected cost inflation in 2022 on diesel fuel, repairs and supplies, and higher depreciation expense related to recent capital expenditures to develop a new mine area are expected to contribute to an increase in the cost per ton in 2022.
+Added: The increase in operating expenses is primarily due to expected higher employee-related costs, professional fees and outside services.
+Added: Results at the consolidated mining operations are expected to decrease significantly in the second half of 2022 from the comparable 2021 period and the first half of 2022.
+Added: This expected decrease is primarily due to an expected substantial decline in earnings at MLMC driven by an anticipated reduction in customer demand from higher than average levels in the second half of the prior year.
+Added: Lower customer demand, expected cost inflation in the latter half of 2022 on diesel fuel, repairs and supplies, and higher depreciation expense related to recent capital expenditures to develop a new mine area are expected to contribute to an increase in the cost per ton in the second half of 2022.
In general, cost per ton delivered is lowest when the power plant requires a consistently high level of coal deliveries, primarily because costs are spread over more tons.
−Removed: The reduction in earnings at the unconsolidated Coal Mining operations is expected to be driven by the termination of the Bisti contract as of September 30, 2021 and lower earnings at Falkirk, primarily in the second half of 2022 compared with the second half of 2021.
−Removed: Falkirk has agreed to a reduction in the current per ton management fee from May 1, 2022 through May 31, 2024.

−Removed: Segment EBITDA, which excludes the termination payments of $10.3 million from Bisti's customer in 2021 and the $14 million contract termination fee from GRE in 2022, is expected to decrease significantly in 2022 from 2021 primarily as a result of the forecasted reduction in operating profit partially offset by an increase in depreciation, depletion and amortization expense.
+Added: As a result of the anticipated increase in cost per ton, the 2022 full-year results are expected to be substantially lower than the 2021 full year.
+Added: The anticipated reduction in earnings at the unconsolidated Coal Mining operations for the second half of and full-year 2022, compared with the respective prior year periods, is expected to be driven primarily by the reduction in the per ton management fee at Falkirk from May 1, 2022 through May 31, 2024, as well as the termination of Bisti's contract as of September 30, 2021.
+Added: These decreases are expected to be partly offset by higher earnings at Coteau.
+Added: Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the contract termination settlement payments of $10.3 million from Bisti's customer in 2021 and $14.0 million from GRE in 2022, is expected to decrease significantly in 2022 from 2021 primarily as a result of the forecasted reduction in operating profit partially offset by a higher add back of depreciation, depletion and amortization expense which is expected to increase in 2022.
The increase in depreciation, depletion and amortization expense is primarily due to higher capital expenditures at MLMC as a result of the development of a new mine area.
−Removed: Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $21 million in 2022.
+Added: Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $15 million in the second half of 2022 and approximately $23 million for the full year.
The elevated levels of capital expenditures from 2019 through 2022 relate to the necessary development of a new mine area at MLMC, which will allow continued coal deliveries through the end of the contract.
