Alliance Resource (ARLP) to Post Q4 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Alliance Resource Partners, L.P. (ARLP - Free Report) is scheduled to release fourth-quarter 2023 earnings on Jan 29, before market open. The firm delivered a negative earnings surprise of 11.9% in the last reported quarter.
Let’s see how things have shaped up before the upcoming earnings announcement.
Factors to Note
Alliance Resource Partners’ Appalachia operating expense per ton sold is likely to be 8-10% higher during the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in expenses is due to ongoing development at Mettiki and the scheduled longwall move at Tunnel Ridge. This is likely to have affected margins.
The firm’s fourth-quarter earnings are likely to have benefited from multi-year contracts with blue-chip utility companies.
Lower realized oil and gas commodity pricing in the fourth quarter is likely to have offset the increases in coal royalty revenue per ton like in the previous quarter.
Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter revenues and earnings per unit is pegged at $672.5 million and $1.14, respectively, indicating year-over-year decline of 4% and 30%.
