Forward guidance

Hallador is focused on transforming the company and capturing increased value by expanding its offerings in the power sector, including potential long-term contracts for data centers. They anticipate that natural gas inventories will decrease and prices will recover later this year.

Tailwinds

  • Signed an 11-month, $45 million forward power purchase agreement (PPA).
  • Negotiations continue to advance in response to the Company’s data center targeted RFP, with the potential to sign a long-term contract.
  • Strengthened balance sheet by reducing debt.
  • Improved total liquidity to $60.7 million at quarter-end.
  • Focusing on forward sales to hedge its energy position.

Headwinds

  • Facing a challenging market for spot electricity sales.
  • Record natural gas production last year, combined with the second warmest winter in 25 years, has led to a surplus in natural gas inventory.
  • This imbalance has driven down both gas and electricity prices.
  • Energy market pricing was above cost structure only 40% of the time during the first half of the year.
  • Decrease in electric and coal sales due to market conditions.
