     (1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA margin is equal to segment Adjusted EBITDA (excluding insurance recoveries) divided by segment revenue. Revenue per Ton and Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton are equal to revenue by segment and Adjusted EBITDA by segment (excluding insurance recoveries), respectively, divided by segment tons sold. Costs per Ton is equal to Revenue per Ton less Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton. Management believes Costs per Ton and Adjusted EBITDA
      Margin per Ton best reflect controllable costs and operating results at the reporting segment level. We consider all measures reported on a per ton basis, as well as Adjusted EBITDA margin, to be operating/statistical measures. Please refer to the tables and related notes herein for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures.

Centurion Update

Our world class hard coking coal growth project in Australia continues to advance on time and on budget. We produced the first development coal in the second quarter and commissioned the second continuous miner in July. We expect to ship first coal in the fourth quarter of 2024 and remain on track to commence longwall production in the first quarter of 2026. Approximately $200 million of the $489 million of capital expenditures to reach longwall production has been completed as of June 30, 2024.

Centurion is expected to have a mine life in excess of 25 years and average annual longwall production of 4.7 million tons. The benchmark premium hard coking coal from Centurion is expected to receive a premium price relative to other metallurgical coals.

Shareholder Return Program

Since restarting our shareholder return program, the company has returned $480.1 million to shareholders through share repurchases of $430.4 million, or 13.4% of shares outstanding, and cumulative quarterly cash dividends of $49.7 million. At June 30, Peabody had $569.6 million remaining under its existing $1.0 billion share repurchase program.

On August 1, 2024, we committed an additional $100 million for share repurchases in 2024 following the continued successful advancement at Centurion, settlement of the Shoal Creek insurance claim and a favorable free cash flow outlook for the remainder of the year.

The company declared a $0.075 per share dividend on August 1, 2024.

2024 Outlook

Seaborne Thermal

    --  Full year volume has been increased by 500 thousand tons to 15.7-16.2
        million tons due to anticipated additional high ash coal production at
        Wilpinjong.
    --  Third quarter volume is expected to be 4.0 million tons, including 2.5
        million export tons. 600 thousand export tons are priced at $120.45 per
        ton, and 1.0 million tons of Newcastle product and 0.9 million tons of
        high ash product are unpriced. Costs are anticipated to be $48-$53 per
        ton.

Seaborne Metallurgical

    --  Full year volume has been lowered by 600 thousand tons to 7.2-7.6
        million tons primarily because of anticipated challenging geological
        conditions at the CMJV. As a result, full year costs are now expected to
        be $118-$128 per ton.
    --  Third quarter volume is anticipated to be 1.7 million tons and is
        expected to achieve 70 to 80 percent of the premium hard coking coal
        price index. Costs are anticipated to be $120-$130 per ton.

Forward-looking statements provide management's or the Board's current expectations or predictions of future conditions, events, or results. All statements that address operating performance, events, or developments that may occur in the future are forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the shareholder return framework, execution of the Company's operating plans, market conditions for the Company's products, reclamation obligations, financial outlook, potential acquisitions and strategic investments, and liquidity requirements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and reflect Peabody's good faith beliefs, assumptions, and expectations, but they are not guarantees of future performance or events. Furthermore, Peabody disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, except as required by law. By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, a variety of economic, competitive, and regulatory factors, many of which are beyond Peabody's control, that are described in Peabody's periodic reports filed with the SEC including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2023 and other factors that Peabody may describe from time to time in other filings with the SEC.
