Forward guidance
Peabody has revised its full year expectations to reflect continuing challenges, including severe July rains in Australia impacting third quarter production, sales, and costs.
Headwinds
- Full year seaborne thermal volume has been lowered by 1.0-1.3 million tons due to impacts on productivity from rain and COVID absenteeism.
- Full year seaborne thermal cost guidance has been increased $8 per ton to reflect higher sales price sensitive costs, higher fuel costs and continuation of rain impacts on production.
- Full year seaborne metallurgical cost guidance has been increased $15 per ton to primarily reflect higher royalty costs and higher fuel cost.
- PRB volume has been lowered 5-8 million tons due to increasingly weak rail performance and uncertainty of improvement to meet current year customer nominations.
- Full year PRB cost guidance has been increased $1.25-$1.50 per ton to reflect continuing high fuel price, general inflationary pressures, and the anticipated lower volume.
