___________________________

¹ Adjusted EBITDA and Available Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA margin is equal to segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by segment revenue. Revenue per Ton and Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton are equal to revenue by segment and Adjusted EBITDA by segment, 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 in this press release for a reconciliation and definition of non-GAAP financial measures.

The seaborne thermal segment shipped 3.7 million tons, including 2.6 million export tons at an average export realized price of $97.20 per ton. Tons sold decreased by 0.5 million tons compared to the third quarter primarily driven by a December train derailment on the mainline which limited shipments from Wilpinjong. Total segment costs of $49.71 per ton were 14 percent higher than the prior quarter due to lower production and product mix. The segment reported 35 percent Adjusted EBITDA margins and Adjusted EBITDA of $99.8 million.

The other U.S. thermal segment shipped 3.7 million tons at an average realized price of $57.00 per ton. Tons sold were lower than the previous quarter due to a longwall move at Twentymile and lower customer demand as a result of low natural gas prices and higher utility inventories. Costs per ton increased 8 percent from the prior quarter to $45.57 primarily due to lower production. The segment reported 20 percent Adjusted EBITDA margins and Adjusted EBITDA of $42.3 million in the fourth quarter.

(1)	Adjusted EBITDA is 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 each of our segment's operating performance as displayed in the reconciliation above.
