International Coal Group Reports First Quarter 2011 Results
SCOTT DEPOT, W.Va., April 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
First-Quarter Highlights:
-- Adjusted EBITDA increases 39% over first quarter 2010
-- Record margin of $17.07 per ton is a 46% increase over first quarter
2010
-- Metallurgical shipments up 53% over first quarter 2010
International Coal Group, Inc.
today reported its results for the first quarter of 2011. -- Adjusted EBITDA was $65.1 million in the first quarter of 2011
compared to $46.9 million during the first quarter of 2010.
-- Net income was $22.0 million, or $0.10 per share on a diluted basis,
in the first quarter of 2011 compared to a net loss of $8.9 million,
or $0.05 per share on a diluted basis, during the first quarter of
2010. Net loss for the first quarter of 2010 included a $22.0 million
pre-tax loss on extinguishment of debt related to the Company's
capital restructuring. Excluding this loss, first quarter 2010 net
income would have been $6.2 million, or $0.03 per share on a diluted
basis.
-- Margin per ton sold increased 46% to $17.07 in the first quarter of
2011 compared to $11.67 during the same period in 2010, primarily due
to higher price realization from increased metallurgical sales.
-- Coal sales revenues increased to $283.7 million in the first quarter
of 2011 compared to $270.5 million during the first quarter of 2010.
'International Coal Group delivered another strong quarter as our commitment to increasing metallurgical coal production continues to pay dividends,' said Ben Hatfield, President and CEO of ICG. 'However, the quarter was not without its challenges, as extreme winter weather reduced production at our Vindex mine complex and continued rail congestion lowered shipments at several other operations.'
Hatfield continued, 'Steady operational performance at most business units during the quarter, coupled with strong sales prices, resulted in the highest per ton margin in our company's history. We expect margins to grow in each quarter this year as our metallurgical output is projected to increase and lower-priced sales commitments roll off.'
Summarizing the current coal markets, Hatfield stated, 'Metallurgical coal demand improved throughout the quarter, with prices reaching near-record levels. Conversely, thermal market conditions remain somewhat weak as low natural gas prices continue to constrain coal-fired electricity output.'
Sales, Production and Reserves
ICG sold 3.9 million tons of coal during the first quarter of 2011 compared to 4.3 million tons during the first quarter of 2010. Production totaled 4.0 million tons for the first quarter of 2011 versus 3.9 million in the same period of 2010. Metallurgical shipments of 718,000 tons represented a 53% increase over the same period in 2010.
As of March 31, 2011, ICG controlled approximately 1.1 billion tons of coal reserves, located primarily in Illinois, Kentucky, West Virginia, Ohio, Maryland and Virginia. Additionally, the Company controlled approximately 437 million tons of non-reserve coal deposits, which may be classified as reserves in the future as additional drilling and geological work is completed.
Operational and Other Updates
-- Construction at the new Tygart Valley No. 1 deep mine complex is
proceeding on schedule. Slope and shaft construction are progressing
as planned. Foundation construction for the state-of-the-art coal
preparation facility is underway, with construction of the structure
expected to begin in June 2011. Initial coal production is projected
for late fourth quarter of this year. At full output, currently
projected for early 2014, Tygart Valley No. 1 is expected to produce
approximately 3.5 million tons per year.
-- Results for the first quarter of 2011 include a $6.5 million pre-tax
gain from the sale of an idled dragline, previously used at ICG
Eastern's Birch River operation.
Market Outlook and Committed Sales
Near term market conditions remain mixed. While metallurgical markets are near record price levels, thermal demand has been lukewarm, as low natural gas prices continue to restrict coal-fired electricity output. The effect of low natural gas prices is magnified during the 'shoulder months' when electricity demand is traditionally curbed. Nevertheless, several positive signs support our expectation of a stronger thermal market in the second half of 2011 and throughout 2012, including:
-- cold winter weather that helped draw down record level natural gas
inventories;
-- coal inventories that are approaching more normalized levels as
industry-wide coal production remains disciplined;
-- an overall economic climate that is anticipated to improve; and
-- metallurgical markets that are expected to remain strong.
Recent over-the-counter trades support this view as prompt-month CSX pricing is 17% higher than a year ago, calendar year 2012 pricing is nearly 10% higher and the recent Australian quarterly benchmark price settlement of $330 per tonne is 46% higher than last year.
For 2011, committed and priced sales total approximately 13.9 million tons, or 85% of planned shipments, at an average price of $75.75 per ton, excluding freight and handling expenses. Unpriced tonnage includes approximately 1.8 million tons of thermal coal and 0.6 million tons of metallurgical coal.
For 2012, committed and priced sales total approximately 4.2 million tons, or 25% of planned shipments, at an average price of $60.00 per ton, excluding freight and handling expenses. Unpriced tonnage includes approximately 9.6 million tons of thermal coal and 3.2 million tons of metallurgical coal. The majority of 2012 committed sales consists of lower-priced Illinois Basin and Northern Appalachia legacy contracts.
Liquidity and Debt
As of March 31, 2011, the Company had $186.6 million in cash and $39.2 million in borrowing capacity available under its credit agreement.
Debt outstanding as of March 31, 2011 totaled $333.6 million, net of a $32.3 million discount, consisting primarily of $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.0% Convertible Senior Notes and $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.125% Senior Secured Second-Priority Notes.
On March 31, 2011, the Company announced that its $115.0 million of 4.0% Convertible Senior Notes and $731,000 of 9.0% Convertible Senior Notes became convertible at the option of the holders beginning April 1, 2011. Although all of the convertible notes are now classified as current liabilities, the Company does not believe that a significant number of conversions are likely at this time, and to date has received no notices of exercise of conversion rights. The triggering of the conversion rights are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position.
Outlook
The Company has updated its guidance, reflecting modifications to its production mix and the global economic conditions affecting the coal market, as follows:
-- For 2011, the Company expects to produce and sell between 16.1 million
and 16.5 million tons of coal, including 3.2 million to 3.5 million
tons of metallurgical coal. The average selling price is projected to
be $76.00 per ton to $79.00 per ton, with an anticipated average cost
of $56.50 to $58.50 per ton, excluding selling, general and
administrative expenses.
-- Adjusted EBITDA, or earnings before deducting interest, income taxes,
depreciation, depletion, amortization and noncontrolling interest, is
expected to be in the range of $290 million to $320 million in 2011.
-- The Company projects its effective tax rate to be approximately 30%
for 2011.
-- The Company's expectation for average coal pricing by region for 2011
is as follows:
Region 2011 Forecast
------ -------------
Central Appalachia $81.00 - $85.00
Northern Appalachia $90.00 - $94.00
Illinois Basin $38.50 - $39.50
Average $76.00 - $79.00
-- The Company anticipates 2011 capital expenditures of between $225
million and $245 million, including approximately $145 million related
to development projects, primarily at our Tygart Valley No. 1,
Illinois and Vindex operations.
-- For 2012, the Company expects to produce and sell between 16.5 million
and 17.5 million tons of coal, including 3.3 million to 3.7 million
tons of metallurgical coal. The average selling price is projected to
be $83.00 per ton to $89.00 per ton

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;
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
(a) release.

'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
