August 7, 2026 - Alpha Metallurgical Resources, Inc. (NYSE: AMR), a leading U.S. supplier of metallurgical products for the steel industry, today reported financial results for the second quarter ending June 30, 2026.

"Due to several factors, we closed out the first half of 2026 with fewer tons shipped and higher costs than expected," said Andy Eidson, Alpha's chief executive officer. "Those realities are evident in our second quarter results, and they informed our decision to release adjusted guidance ranges for sales volumes and cost of coal sales. We continue to engage with terminal leaders at Dominion Terminal Associates (DTA) to address the high-wind storm damage that occurred in June. Our reduced sales volume guidance for the balance of the year incorporates our expectations of reduced efficiency at DTA, which we plan to mitigate in part by utilizing our throughput capacity at other East Coast terminals. Once the insurance claims process advances, alongside conversations with third party equipment providers, terminal leadership should gain additional clarity regarding the longer-term plan for replacing the stacker reclaimer. In the immediate term, however, we remain appreciative of the cooperation from DTA leaders in working through these challenges and their resourcefulness in keeping the terminal running as well as possible under the circumstances."

Eidson continued: "With soft met market conditions persisting, our increased cost of coal sales guidance incorporates our expectation of fewer shipped tons for the year, together with the continuation of higher supply costs we've been experiencing."
