"As expected, the weak metallurgical coal market negatively impacted our results for the fourth quarter," said Andy Eidson, Alpha's chief executive officer. "We continue to see lower levels of met coal demand which is keeping pricing subdued. As always, we strive to accurately assess the landscape and take actions as necessary to match our business to those realities. The adjustments we're announcing today to our full year 2025 guidance for met coal shipment volumes and costs of coal sales are reflective of lower amounts of purchased coal than previously expected, as well as the impact of severe weather in both January and February on our operating plans. As we look ahead, our priorities continue to be the safe operation of our mines and the financial protection of the business against these difficult market circumstances."
