"Between another robust result from our Trading and Logistics segment and the continued progress we are making toward consummating our transaction with Alpha, this past quarter was a very productive one for Contura Energy," said Kevin Crutchfield, chief executive officer. "I am proud of our teams across the organization for delivering an overall strong quarterly performance despite the headwinds we faced through the geologic challenges at Cumberland and a subpar rail performance that capped what could have been even greater returns from our export sales."

Financial Performance

Total revenues in the second quarter were $528.9 million. Coal revenues, excluding freight and handling fulfillment revenues, in the second quarter were $423.9 million, with Central Appalachia (CAPP) coal revenues accounting for $152.2 million, Trading and Logistics (T&L) accounting for $201.0 million, and Northern Appalachia (NAPP) coal revenues totaling $70.7 million. Comparatively, in the second quarter 2017, CAPP revenues were $111.2 million, T&L revenues were $179.3 million, and NAPP accounted for $77.3 million of the $367.9 million in total coal revenues.

CAPP coal shipments for the second quarter 2018 were 1.2 million tons at an average per-ton realization of $128.51, compared to 1.0 million tons at $112.37 per ton in the prior year second quarter. Contura shipped 1.6 million tons of NAPP coal during the quarter at an average per-ton realization of $44.98, down from 1.8 million tons at $42.08 per ton in the second quarter 2017. As previously announced, NAPP volumes in the quarter were impacted by geologic conditions including a reduced coal seam thickness and localized soft clay issues. In the T&L segment, coal volumes increased from 1.3 million tons in the prior year period to 1.6 million tons in the second quarter 2018, while the average T&L realization decreased from $138.97 per ton to $123.39 per ton during the same period.

Freight and handling fulfillment revenues and other revenues in the second quarter 2018 were $101.3 million and $3.8 million, respectively, compared with $69.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively, in the prior year period.

    --  Total costs and expenses during the second quarter 2018 were $444.2
        million and cost of coal sales was $331.6 million, compared with $406.6
        million and $286.9 million, respectively, in the same period a year ago.
        Total expenses were negatively impacted by approximately $5.8 million in
        net demurrage costs due to poor rail service throughout the quarter,
        affecting primarily export met shipments. The cost of coal sales in CAPP
        for the quarter averaged $75.93 per ton, up from $73.13 in the prior
        year period. The CAPP cost includes $1.12 per ton in idle costs. NAPP
        costs at $40.95 per ton were impacted by the aforementioned geologic
        conditions experienced during the quarter, which reduced production
        volume. NAPP costs included idle costs of $0.96 per ton. In the year ago
        period, NAPP cost of coal sales averaged $33.01 per ton. In the T&L
        segment, the cost of coal sales during the second quarter 2018 was
        $108.85 per ton versus $119.03 per ton in the second quarter 2017.
    --  Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the second
        quarter 2018 were $12.0 million, down from $26.3 million in the year ago
        period. The year ago period included approximately $12.0 million in
        expenses related to the special dividend, business development expenses,
        and costs related to the company's filing of a registration statement
        with the SEC. Included in the SG&A costs for the second quarter 2018 are
        approximately $1.8 million in non-cash stock compensation and accrued
        expenses of $2.5 million related to incentive bonus plans. Depreciation,
        depletion and amortization was $11.2 million during the second quarter
        and amortization of acquired intangibles was $1.1 million, compared with
        $8.9 million and $14.6 million respectively, in the same period last
        year, excluding discontinued operations.
    --  Contura reported net income from continuing operations of $74.6 million,
        or $7.24 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2018. In the second
        quarter 2017, the company had net income from continuing operations of
        $18.4 million or $1.69 per diluted share.
    --  Total Adjusted EBITDA was $86.1 million for the second quarter, compared
        with $73.1 million in the prior year quarter, adjusted to remove the
        impact of discontinued operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities, including discontinued operations, for the second quarter 2018 was $145.9 million and capital expenditures for the second quarter was $18.9 million. As expected, working capital provided significant cash in the second quarter, including $60.0 million from accounts receivable and $22.2 million from reduced inventories, offset by $15.6 million used in accounts payable. In the prior year period, the cash provided by operating activities was $44.0 million and capital expenditures were $18.6 million. Capital expenditures of $4.0 million from discontinued operations are excluded from the prior year total.

At the end of June 2018, Contura had $199.3 million in unrestricted cash. Total long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt as of June 30, 2018, was approximately $367.1 million. At the end of the quarter, the company had total liquidity of $314.4 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $199.3 million and $115.1 million of unused commitments available under the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2018, the company had no borrowings and $9.9 million letters of credit outstanding under the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility.

Alpha Merger Update

On April 30, 2018, the company jointly announced a definitive merger agreement with ANR, Inc. and Alpha Natural Resources Holdings, Inc. (together, "Alpha"), which is expected to create the largest metallurgical coal supplier in the U.S. complemented by a cost-competitive thermal coal portfolio.

Since the merger announcement, several key milestones have been achieved. On July 2, 2018, Contura and Alpha received early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (HSR Act). The company also announced on July 16, 2018 that Contura had filed a confidential registration statement on form S-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The transaction is expected to close prior to year-end 2018, likely in early- to mid-fourth quarter. As previously indicated, the merger is expected to generate synergies in the range of $30 million to $50 million annually.

For additional information regarding the transaction, see the presentation titled "Contura + Alpha: Transformative Combination" at www.conturaenergy.com/financials.

Other Business Updates

On July 2, 2018, the company announced an updated 2018 production outlook for the Cumberland mine, its longwall thermal coal mine located in NAPP. Due to unforeseen geologic conditions including reduced coal seam thickness and localized soft clay influences within the coal seam, both production and processing were temporarily slowed. Full coal production resumed August 1, 2018 at the Cumberland mine as the previously announced challenges due to localized geologic conditions are no longer impacting production or processing.

On December 11, 2017, the company announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Contura Coal West, LLC, completed a transaction to sell the Eagle Butte and Belle Ayr mines in Wyoming, along with related coal reserves, equipment, infrastructure and other real properties, to Blackjewel L.L.C. The reclamation bonds required to effectuate the permit transfer for those properties have since been submitted to the state of Wyoming by Blackjewel L.L.C. and, along with the permit transfer applications, are under review by the Wyoming Attorney General and the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality.

2018 Full-Year Guidance

None of the guidance ranges described herein include any potential effects of the transaction with Alpha, which is expected to close prior to year-end 2018.

The company expects total 2018 coal shipments to be in the range of 15.4 million to 16.8 million tons. CAPP metallurgical coal guidance remains at 3.7 million to 4.1 million tons and guidance for the T&L segment is increased to 5.6 million to 6.2 million tons from a range of 5.0 million to 5.6 million tons. As previously announced, NAPP shipments, sold primarily into thermal markets, are now anticipated to be between 6.1 million and 6.5 million tons in 2018.

As of July 31, 2018, 68% of the midpoint of anticipated 2018 CAPP coal shipments were committed and priced at an average expected per-ton realization of $131.48, with an additional 18% committed and either unpriced or priced based on various indices. Based on the midpoint of guidance, 100% of anticipated 2018 NAPP coal shipments were committed and priced at an average expected per-ton realization of $43.71.

Contura is maintaining its previously announced guidance for 2018 CAPP cost of coal sales per ton of $70.00 to $75.00. As recently updated, NAPP cost estimates are projected to be between $35.00 to $38.00 per ton due to unexpected geologic conditions that temporarily impacted both production and processing. Additionally, costs related to the company's idle operations are expected to be between $10 million and $12 million for the full-year 2018.

The margin from Contura's T&L platform is expected to average $9 to $15 per ton for the full-year 2018.

As previously announced, Contura's SG&A guidance is estimated at $32 million to $36 million, excluding one-time and non-recurring items, annual incentive bonuses and stock compensation. Capital expenditure guidance is increased to a range of $72 million to $82 million, due primarily to additional capitalization of development work in NAPP while the longwall was idled and the company's strategic decision to convert a CAPP mine from a third-party contract operation to a company-operated mine. Depreciation, depletion and amortization for 2018 is expected to be between $40 million and $50 million. The company expects 2018 cash interest expense to be between $25 million and $27 million.

FINANCIAL TABLES FOLLOW

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) provided throughout this press release, Contura has presented the following non-GAAP financial measure: Adjusted EBITDA. The company uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of its segments and allocate resources to the segments. This non-GAAP financial measure excludes various items detailed in the attached reconciliation tables.

The definition of this non-GAAP measure may be changed periodically by management to adjust for significant items important to an understanding of operating trends. This measure is not intended to replace financial performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Rather, it is presented as a supplemental measure of the company's performance that management finds useful in assessing the company's financial performance and believes is useful to securities analysts, investors and others in assessing the company's performance over time. Moreover, this measure is not calculated identically by all companies and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

    (1) During the fourth quarter of
     2017, the Company entered into
     an asset purchase agreement to
     sell a disposal group (comprised
     of property, plant and equipment
     and associated asset retirement
     obligations) within our CAPP
     segment. From the date the
     Company entered into the asset
     purchase agreement through the
     transaction close date, the
     property, plant and equipment
     and associated asset retirement
     obligations were classified as
     held for sale in amounts
     representing the fair value of
     the disposal group. Upon permit
     transfer, the transaction closed
     on April 2, 2018. The Company
     paid $10,000 in connection with
     the transaction, which was paid
     into escrow on March 27, 2018
     and transferred to the buyer at
     the transaction close date, and
     expects to pay a series of
     additional cash payments in the
     aggregate amount of $1,500, per
     the terms stated in the
     agreement, and recorded a gain
     on sale of $16,386 within gain
     on disposal of assets within the
     Condensed Consolidated
     Statements of Operations.


    (2) Pursuant to the PRB
     divestiture and classification
     as a discontinued operation, the
     Company is no longer presenting
     a PRB reporting segment. The
     former PRB reporting segment had
     Adjusted EBITDA of ($1,102) for
     the three months ended June 30,
     2018.

    (1) Management restructuring
     costs are related to severance
     expense associated with senior
     management changes in the six
     months ended June 30, 2018.


    (2) During the fourth quarter of
     2017, the Company entered into
     an asset purchase agreement to
     sell a disposal group (comprised
     of property, plant and equipment
     and associated asset retirement
     obligations) within our CAPP
     segment. From the date the
     Company entered into the asset
     purchase agreement through the
     transaction close date, the
     property, plant and equipment
     and associated asset retirement
     obligations were classified as
     held for sale in amounts
     representing the fair value of
     the disposal group. Upon permit
     transfer, the transaction closed
     on April 2, 2018. The Company
     paid $10,000 in connection with
     the transaction, which was paid
     into escrow on March 27, 2018
     and transferred to the buyer at
     the transaction close date, and
     expects to pay a series of
     additional cash payments in the
     aggregate amount of $1,500, per
     the terms stated in the
     agreement, and recorded a gain
     on sale of $16,386 within gain
     on disposal of assets within the
     Condensed Consolidated
     Statements of Operations.


    (3) Pursuant to the PRB
     divestiture and classification
     as a discontinued operation, the
     Company is no longer presenting
     a PRB reporting segment. The
     former PRB reporting segment had
     Adjusted EBITDA of ($2,368) for
     the six months ended June 30,
     2018.
