Media Release

Peabody Reports Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2026

Centurion Mine Advancing Toward Targeted Production Rates

Seaborne Thermal Results Benefit from Higher Pricing

Multiple Strategic Financial Actions Further Strengthen Capital Structure

ST. LOUIS, July 29, 2026 – Peabody (NYSE: BTU) today reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $(90.6) million, or $(0.74) per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $(27.6) million, or $(0.23) per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. Peabody reported Adjusted EBITDA1 of $24.0 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $93.3 million in the prior-year quarter.

“While second quarter results reflected temporarily lower volumes and higher costs, we are already seeing those impacts mitigate across our operations. We expect improved results in the second half of the year as performance at our flagship Centurion Mine achieves targeted production rates,” said Peabody President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Grech. “We’re targeting strong cash generation for the second half of 2026, fueled by our seaborne metallurgical and thermal segments.”

Highlights

•Completed significant longwall commissioning activities at Centurion and are targeting 1.5 to 2.0 million tons of sales in the second half of 2026, while costs and margins progress toward targeted run-rate levels.

•Issued $250 million of 0.5% 2031 convertible notes, purchased a capped call with a cap price of $50.61 per share and repurchased $241.2 million of 3.25% 2028 convertible notes (with a conversion price of $18.99 per share) for cash consideration of $386.8 million, effectively repurchasing 5.0 million shares.

•Revised U.S. and Australia surety arrangements reducing reclamation cash collateral requirements by approximately $350 million.

•Increased revolving credit facility capacity to $400 million.

•Awarded a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to advance rare earth elements (REE) and critical minerals (CM) development opportunities in the Powder River Basin. Coupled with the Wyoming Energy Authority grant awarded earlier this year, the company continued to progress promising REE/CM opportunities.

•Declared a quarterly dividend of $0.075 per share on July 29, 2026, payable on Sept. 3, 2026, to stockholders of record on Aug. 12, 2026.

1 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. 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 reportable 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 herein for a reconciliation and definition of non-GAAP financial measures.

Seaborne Thermal delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $52.1 million in the second quarter, realizing average prices 12.4 percent higher than the first quarter amid strong coal-fueled generation across multiple Asian countries. Costs per ton of $57.93 came in at the low end of guidance, reflecting strong production volumes at Wilpinjong.

Seaborne Metallurgical delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $(17.0) million in the quarter, as the continued commissioning of Centurion contributed to higher-than-expected costs. Sales volume exceeded expectations by 0.2 million tons due to higher volumes at Metropolitan and the CMJV. Realized pricing increased 7.1 percent quarter over quarter to $148.04 per ton, supported by growing supply constraints in China.

Powder River Basin delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $(7.1) million in the second quarter. Sales volume fell below targeted levels due to milder weather extending the spring shoulder season and longer coal generation plant maintenance downtimes ahead of summer. Costs totaled $14.06 per ton, reflecting lower volumes while maintaining full utilization of the equipment fleet to uncover more coal in advance of higher expected volumes in the second half of the year.

Other U.S. Thermal delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $26.9 million in the quarter. Sales volumes of 3.0 million tons came in 0.4 million tons below expectations, reflecting the impact of mild weather and heavy rainfall at the end of the quarter resulting in rail outages. Despite these challenges, costs of $46.13 per ton were in line with guidance, reflecting disciplined cost management.

Centurion Update

Centurion made meaningful commissioning progress during the quarter. The operating team has implemented effective processes to address face conditions while maintaining production momentum and is working through remaining roof control issues, which are due to a limited rock fault zone. With operational constraints significantly reduced, Peabody's focus is on achieving targeted production rates.

The company is now targeting annual Centurion sales of 2.0 to 2.5 million tons, including 0.5 to 0.7 million tons in the third quarter. Costs are expected to trend more in line with expectations as production volumes increase.

Financial Update

At June 30, 2026, the company had $526.3 million cash and total liquidity of $959.1 million.

“Peabody enhanced its capital structure through a series of strategic financial transactions, including an opportunistic refinancing of convertible notes, revised surety arrangements that reduced restricted cash and collateral by approximately $350 million and increased our revolving credit facility to $400 million,” said Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Mark Spurbeck. “Together, these actions unlock shareholder value, jump start shareholder returns, lower borrowing costs and increase financial flexibility.”

During the quarter, the company issued $250 million of 2031 convertible notes at a conversion price of $38.32 per share, which was effectively increased to $50.61 per share with a related capped call transaction. The company also repurchased $241.2 million of 2028 convertible notes for cash consideration of $386.8 million, effectively repurchasing 5.0 million shares. New surety arrangements resulted in a reduction to Restricted Cash and Collateral of approximately $350 million (43 percent). The company intends to evaluate additional 2028 convertible note repurchases and share repurchases in accordance with its shareholder return policy and financial strategy to increase free cash flow per share and maintain financial resiliency.

Third Quarter 2026 Outlook

Seaborne Thermal

•Volume is expected to be 3.0 million tons, including 1.9 million export tons. 1.1 million tons of Newcastle product and 0.8 million tons of high ash product are unpriced. Costs are anticipated to be $52—$57 per ton.

Seaborne Metallurgical

•Seaborne met volume is expected to be 1.9—2.1 million tons, a decrease from second quarter due to a longwall move at Metropolitan and an expected lock outage impacting sales at Shoal Creek. Sales are anticipated to achieve approximately 70-75 percent of the premium hard coking coal price index. Costs are anticipated to be $130—$140 per ton.

U.S. Thermal

•PRB volume is expected to be 22 million tons at an average price of $13.60 per ton and costs of approximately $11.75—$12.25 per ton.

•Other U.S. Thermal volume is expected to be 3.7 million tons at an average price of $58.20 per ton and costs of approximately $45—$49 per ton.

2026 Guidance Targets

For the full year outlook, the company is updating guidance. Seaborne thermal expects a volume increase of 200 thousand tons to 12.7 million tons. Seaborne met costs are expected to increase by approximately $10 per ton, primarily due to lower volumes and elevated contract labor, materials and supply costs at Centurion. The company also is increasing Powder River Basin costs by $0.25 per ton, reflecting lower first-half shipments.
