International Coal Group Reports Second Quarter 2010 Results

July 29th, 2010  |  Published in Coal Industry News

Second Quarter Highlights:

– Net income increases by 142% over second quarter 2009, excluding non-routine transactions

– Operating margins increase by 26% compared to the same period last year

– Metallurgical shipments triple versus second quarter 2009

– ICG ADDCAR delivers its first overseas highwall mining system to India International Coal Group, Inc. today reported its results for the second quarter of 2010.

– Adjusted EBITDA was $44.8 million for the second quarter of 2010

compared to $52.2 million for the second quarter of 2009. Second

quarter 2010 Adjusted EBITDA was reduced by a $10.0 million charge due

to a negotiated early termination of a thermal coal sales agreement.

This termination enables ICG to sell approximately 400,000 additional

tons as premium high-volatile metallurgical coal at significantly higher

prices during 2010 and 2011. Second quarter 2009 results included a $7.7

million gain related to the termination of a below-market coal supply

agreement. Exclusive of these items, Adjusted EBITDA would have been

$54.8 million in the second quarter of 2010 and $44.5 million for the

same period in 2009, a 23% increase.

– Net income was $4.5 million, or $0.02 per share on a diluted basis, for

the second quarter of 2010 compared to net income of $10.4 million, or

$0.07 per share on a diluted basis, for the second quarter of 2009. Net

income for the second quarter of 2010 also included a $6.1 million

pre-tax loss on extinguishment of debt related to the Company’s capital

restructuring. Excluding the $10.0 million contract buyout and the $6.1

million loss on extinguishment of debt, pro forma net income in the

second quarter of 2010 would have been $13.5 million, or $0.07 per share

on a diluted basis. Excluding the $7.7 million gain related to the 2009

contract termination, pro forma net income in the second quarter of 2009

would have been $5.6 million, or $0.04 per share on a diluted basis.

– Margin per ton sold increased 26% to $14.28 in the second quarter of

2010 compared to $11.32 for the same period last year, primarily due to

higher price realization.

– Revenues increased to $300.4 million for the second quarter of 2010

compared to $277.8 million for the second quarter of 2009, primarily due

to increased coal sales revenues.

“Our operating performance was solid throughout the second quarter,” said Ben Hatfield, President and CEO of ICG. “The improved margins, compared to the second quarter of 2009, were driven primarily by our moves to sell more metallurgical tons with higher pricing and our continued focus on effective cost control.”

Hatfield continued, “We’re seeing a steady improvement in thermal coal pricing, as utility coal inventories have fallen from record highs in November 2009 and are slowly approaching normalized levels. Above-normal summer temperatures are expected to further reduce coal stockpiles and provide more support for thermal prices. Although demand for metallurgical coal slowed in the second half of the quarter, we believe this plateau is temporary and not an indication of an extended change in the market outlook.”

Six-Month Results

Revenues for the first six months of 2010 totaled $589.0 million compared to $582.8 million for the same period in 2009. The Company reported Adjusted EBITDA of $91.7 million in the first six months of 2010 compared to $96.7 million in the first six months of 2009. First-half Adjusted EBITDA was reduced in 2010 by a $10.0 million contract buyout and increased in 2009 by a $7.7 million contract termination gain. Excluding these transactions, first-half Adjusted EBITDA would have been $101.7 million in 2010 and $89.0 million in 2009.

Net loss for the first half of 2010 was $4.4 million, or $0.02 per share on a diluted basis, versus net income of $14.1 million, or $0.09 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period a year ago. Excluding the $10.0 million contract buyout and the $28.1 million loss on the extinguishment of debt, pro forma net income in the first six months of 2010 would have been $19.7 million, or $0.10 per share on a diluted basis. Excluding the $7.7 million gain related to the contract termination, pro forma net income in the first six months of 2009 would have been $9.3 million, or $0.06 per share on a diluted basis.

Sales, Production and Reserves

ICG sold 4.1 million tons of coal during the second quarter of 2010 compared to 4.2 million tons during the second quarter of 2009. Production totaled 4.0 million tons in the second quarter of 2010 versus 4.2 million tons in the same period of 2009. Metallurgical shipments of 622,000 tons represented a 421,000-ton increase over the second quarter of the prior year.

As of June 30, 2010, ICG controlled approximately 1.1 billion tons of coal reserves, located primarily in Illinois, Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland and Virginia. Additionally, the Company controlled approximately 431 million tons of non-reserve coal deposits, which may be classified as reserves in the future as additional drilling and geotechnical work is completed.

Operational and Other Updates

– Construction resumed in June at the Tygart No. 1 deep mine complex in

Taylor County, West Virginia. Initial production of high-volatile

metallurgical and high-quality thermal coal is expected in late 2011

with longwall production scheduled to begin in early 2014. At full

output, the Tygart No. 1 mine is expected to produce 3.5 million tons

per year.

– As previously discussed, during the second quarter of 2010, ICG reached

a $10.0 million contract termination settlement with a utility customer.

This transaction allows the Company to market approximately 400,000 tons

of coal as premium high-volatile metallurgical coal at significantly

higher margins. Approximately 80% of these tons have already been

committed for sale at more favorable prices.

– ICG ADDCAR Systems completed the sale of a new highwall mining system to

a customer in India. This sale marks the first delivery of ADDCAR’s

unique highwall mining system outside of North America. The system

includes ADDCAR’s latest steep-dip mining technologies.

– In March and April 2010, in connection with tender offers and consent

solicitations, the Company repurchased approximately $169.1 million

aggregate principal amount of its 10.25% Senior Notes due 2014 and

$114.5 million aggregate principal amount of its 9.0% Convertible Senior

Notes due 2012 as part of a capital restructuring. The Company incurred

a $6.1 million loss related to these transactions in the second quarter

of 2010. In July 2010, the Company redeemed the remaining $5.9 million

of the 10.25% Senior Notes at a redemption price of 105.125% of the

principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Company used

cash on hand to fund the redemption.

– Various ICG mining operations received prestigious awards in May for

outstanding safety performance during 2009 from the West Virginia State

Council of the Joseph A. Holmes Association and District 3 of the Mine

Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). ICG’s Wolf Run Mining

operations received two Holmes and two MSHA awards; ICG Eastern

operations received two Holmes awards; and Vindex Energy operations

received one Holmes and one MSHA award. Additionally, ICG ADDCAR’s

Bridger HWM operation was recognized by the State of Wyoming for working

all of 2009 without a lost-time accident.

Market Outlook and Committed Sales

Despite the uncertain near-term global economic outlook, thermal coal fundamentals appear to be improving due to declining utility inventories and increasing electricity consumption. The Company expects metallurgical coal pricing to strengthen going forward as the outlook for world steel demand continues to improve.

For 2010, committed and priced sales are approximately 16.2 million tons, or 97% of planned shipments, at an average price of $65.25 per ton, excluding freight and handling expenses. The uncommitted tonnage for 2010 includes approximately 0.4 million tons that are expected to be marketed as metallurgical coal.

For 2011, committed and priced sales are approximately 8.8 million tons, or 52.3% of planned shipments, at an average price of $61.37 per ton, excluding freight and handling expenses. The uncommitted tonnage for 2011 includes approximately 2.3 million tons of metallurgical coal.

Liquidity and Debt

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had $205.3 million in cash and has $33.3 million in borrowing capacity available under its new credit agreement.

Debt outstanding as of June 30, 2010 totaled $365.3 million, net of a $36.3 million discount, consisting primarily of $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of newly issued 4.0% Convertible Senior Notes and $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of newly issued 9.125% Senior Secured Second-Priority Notes.

Outlook

The Company has updated its guidance to reflect modifications to its production mix and the global economic conditions affecting the coal market:

– For 2010, the Company expects to sell between 16.6 million and 16.8

million tons of coal, including 2.7 million to 2.8 million tons of

metallurgical coal. The average selling price is projected to be $66.25

to $67.25 per ton, with an average cost of $51.75 to $52.75 per ton,

excluding selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company

expects coal production to be between 15.8 million and 16.0 million

tons.

– Adjusted EBITDA, or earnings before deducting interest, income taxes,

depreciation, depletion, amortization, loss on extinguishment of debt

and noncontrolling interest, is expected to be in the range of $200

million to $220 million in 2010.

– The Company’s expectation for average coal pricing by region for 2010 is

as follows:

Region 2010 Forecast

—— ————-

Central Appalachia $72.75 – $73.75

Northern Appalachia $69.25 – $70.25

Illinois Basin $36.75 – $37.00

Average $66.25 – $67.25

===============

– The Company anticipates 2010 capital expenditures of between $105.0

million and $115.0 million.

For 2011, the Company expects to produce and sell between 16.5 million and 17.5 million tons of coal, including 3.1 million to 3.2 million tons of metallurgical coal. The average selling price is projected to be $72.00 to $77.00 per ton.

(a) This press release includes a non-GAAP financial measure within

the meaning of applicable SEC rules and regulations. Adjusted

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management to gauge

operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net

income or loss attributable to International Coal Group, Inc. before

deducting interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion,

amortization,

loss on extinguishment of debt and noncontrolling interest. Adjusted

EBITDA is not, and should not be used as, a substitute for operating

income, net income and cash flow as determined in accordance with

GAAP. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it an

important supplemental measure of our performance and believe it is

frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other

interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry,

substantially all of which present EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA when

reporting their results. We also use Adjusted EBITDA as our executive

compensation plan bases incentive compensation payments on

our Adjusted EBITDA performance measured against budgets. Our ABL

Loan Facility uses Adjusted EBITDA (with additional

adjustments) to measure our compliance with covenants, such as fixed

charge ratio. EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA is also widely used

by us and others in our industry to evaluate and price potential

acquisition candidates. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an

analytical

tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute

for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these

limitations are that Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash

expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or

contractual commitments; changes in, or cash requirements for, our

working capital needs; or interest expense, or the cash

requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on

our debts. Although depreciation, depletion and amortization are

non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated, depleted and

amortized will often have to be replaced in the future. Adjusted

EBITDA

does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. Other

companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA or Adjusted

EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a

comparative measure. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net

income or loss attributable to International Coal Group, Inc. appears

at the end of this press release.

Cost of coal sales

per ton (b) $56.39 $47.26 $26.83 $37.40 $49.58

(b) “Coal sales revenue per ton” and “Cost of coal sales per ton” are

calculated as Coal sales revenues or Cost of coal sales,

respectively, divided by Tons sold. Although Coal sales revenue per

ton and Cost of coal sales per ton are not measures of

performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, management believes

that they are useful to an investor in evaluating

performance because they are widely used in the coal industry as a

measure to evaluate a company’s sales performance or

control over its costs. Coal sales revenue per ton and Cost of coal

sales per ton should not be considered in isolation or as

substitutes for measures of performance in accordance with GAAP. In

addition, because Coal sales revenue per ton and Cost

of coal sales per ton are not calculated identically by all

companies, ICG’s presentation may not be comparable to other

similarly

titled measures of other companies.
