About Alpha Metallurgical Resources,

About Alpha Metallurgical Resources,

Alpha Metallurgical Resources produced approximately 13.7 million tons of metallurgical coal in 2025, with met coal representing 96% of coal revenues and international shipments accounting for 73% of coal revenues that year. The company operates 14 active underground mines and 5 surface mines concentrated in the Central Appalachian basin across Virginia and West Virginia, exporting through a 65.0%-owned terminal at Newport News, Virginia, with 1.7 million net tons of storage capacity. Asia was the dominant export destination, absorbing 33% of coal revenues in 2025.

Alpha earns revenue from met and thermal coal sales to domestic and international steel producers, coke manufacturers and utilities. Met coal sales mix approximately 60% long-term contracts with annual, quarterly and spot cargo arrangements; domestic contracts are typically annual fixed-price while export agreements use market-indexed monthly pricing. Thermal coal, roughly 4% of coal revenues in 2025, goes primarily to large utilities. All preparation plants draw electricity from American Electric Power, a single-utility power dependency. Principal mine-to-port logistics rely on CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern Railway Company, with rail constituting approximately 89% of shipments in 2025. Competition in the export market comes primarily from Australian and Canadian producers, while domestic competition includes other Appalachian and Illinois basin miners.

Customer concentration is the most quantifiable off-take risk: the 10 largest customers accounted for 77% of total revenues in 2025, with the single largest representing 14%. In March 2025, the Trump administration implemented steel tariffs under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962; while these tariffs may increase domestic met coal demand from U.S. steelmakers, retaliatory measures by foreign nations could weigh on export customers whose U.S. steel shipments face curtailment — a direct exposure given 76% of met coal tons were shipped internationally in 2025.
