International Coal Group Revises First Quarter 2011 Results

SCOTT DEPOT, W.Va., May 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- International Coal Group, Inc.
(the 'Company') announced today that it has revised its results for the first quarter of 2011. The revision resulted from an adverse verdict issued on May 2, 2011 related to ongoing litigation with Allegheny Energy Supply. As a result of the verdict, the Company recorded a $40.0 million charge to earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The revised net loss for the quarter is $6.3 million, or $0.03 per share on a diluted basis, compared to net income of $22.0 million, or $0.10 per share on a diluted basis, as previously reported in the Company's earnings release dated April 27, 2011.Although the verdict provides damages of $104.1 million, the Company has accrued $40.0 million as of March 31, 2011 because it believes that it has meritorious factual and legal bases for reversal or revision of substantial portions of the trial court decision. The ultimate resolution of this matter could result in an outcome which may be materially different than what the Company has accrued.

Forward-Looking Statements
-- Statements in this press release that are not historical facts are
forward-looking statements within the 'safe harbor' provision of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and may involve a
number of risks and uncertainties. We have used the words
'anticipate,' 'believe,' 'could,' 'estimate,' 'expect,' 'intend,'
'may,' 'plan,' 'predict,' 'project' and similar terms and phrases,
including references to assumptions, to identify forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements are made based on
expectations and beliefs concerning future events affecting us and are
subject to various risks, uncertainties and factors relating to our
operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to
predict and many of which are beyond our control, that could cause our
actual results to differ materially from those matters expressed in or
implied by these forward-looking statements. The following factors are
among those that may cause actual results to differ materially from
our forward-looking statements: market demand for coal, electricity
and steel; availability of qualified workers; future economic or
capital market conditions; weather conditions or catastrophic
weather-related damage; our production capabilities; consummation of
financing, acquisition or disposition transactions and the effect
thereof on our business; a significant number of conversions of our
convertible senior notes prior to maturity; our plans and objectives
for future operations and expansion or consolidation; our
relationships with, and other conditions affecting, our customers;
availability and costs of key supplies or commodities, such as diesel
fuel, steel, explosives and tires; availability and costs of capital
equipment; prices of fuels which compete with or impact coal usage,
such as oil and natural gas; timing of reductions or increases in
customer coal inventories; long-term coal supply arrangements;
reductions and/or deferrals of purchases by major customers; risks in
or related to coal mining operations, including risks related to
third-party suppliers and carriers operating at our mines or
complexes; unexpected maintenance and equipment failure; adoption by
Appalachian states of EPA guidance regarding stringent water
quality-based limitations in CWA Section 402 wastewater discharge
permits and CWA Section 404 dredge and fill permits; environmental,
safety and other laws and regulations, including those directly
affecting our coal mining and production, and those affecting our
customers' coal usage; ability to obtain and maintain all necessary
governmental permits and authorizations; competition among coal and
other energy producers in the United States and internationally;
railroad, barge, trucking and other transportation availability,
performance and costs; employee benefits costs and labor relations
issues; replacement of our reserves; our assumptions concerning
economically recoverable coal reserve estimates; availability and
costs of credit, surety bonds and letters of credit; title defects or
loss of leasehold interests in our properties which could result in
unanticipated costs or inability to mine these properties; the impact
of the mine explosion at a competitor's mine on federal and state
authorities' decisions to enact laws and regulations that result in
more frequent mine inspections, stricter enforcement practices and
enhanced reporting requirements; future legislation and changes in
regulations or governmental policies or changes in interpretations or
enforcement thereof, including with respect to safety enhancements and
environmental initiatives relating to global warming and climate
change; impairment of the value of our long-lived and deferred tax
assets; our liquidity, including our ability to adhere to financial
covenants related to our borrowing arrangements; adequacy and
sufficiency of our internal controls; and legal and administrative
proceedings, settlements, investigations and claims, including those
related to citations and orders issued by regulatory authorities, and
the availability of related insurance coverage.

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, legal
reserve for the Allegheny lawsuit, 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,
(a) Inc. appears at the end of this press 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
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
(b) comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
Coal sales within the Purchased Coal and Ancillary segment represent
coal sold under brokered coal contracts, all of which were legacy
contracts obtained in conjunction with business combinations. Per
ton information for the three months ended March 31, 2011 within the
Purchased Coal and Ancillary segment is not meaningful as all such
supply contracts have expired. Cost of coal sales shown for the
three months ended March 31, 2011 represents costs incurred at non-
(c) producing coal operations.
