Alpha Metallurgical (AMR) to Post Q3 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Alpha Metallurgical Resources (AMR - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter 2023 results, before the opening bell, on Nov 2.
Q3 Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AMR’s third-quarter sales is pegged at $706 million, suggesting an 18.8% fall from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure. The consensus mark for earnings is pegged at $6.50 per share, indicating a year-over-year slump of 54.3%. Earnings estimates have moved down 19% in the past 30 days.
Q2 Performance
In the last reported quarter, Alpha Metallurgical witnessed a year-over-year decline in earnings and revenues. Results were impacted by the temporary shutdown of production at Road Fork 52 mine in Wyoming County, West Virginia and the decline in metallurgical indices. The company however beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for both the metrics.
AMR has an average trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 5.2%.
Alpha Metallurgical Resources, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
Alpha Metallurgical recently provided updates on preliminary sales volumes and realizations for the third quarter of 2023, which can provide an indication of how the company is likely to fare in the to-be-reported quarter.
AMR stated that in addition to some weather-related problems, which caused vessel delays in the quarter, the company also experienced mechanical issues at DTA that hampered the ability to load and make coal shipments.
The company sold 4.2 tons of coal through the quarter compared with 4.1 tons in the third quarter of 2022. AMR added that it had sold some lower-priced tons from the development areas at new mines during the pricing trough early in the third quarter. This, along with lower-than-expected shipments, negatively impacted average realizations for the third quarter.
Net realized pricing for the Met segment was $154.73 per ton in the third quarter, lower than $184.31 in the third quarter of 2022. Net realization in the All Other category was $68.32 per ton in the third quarter compared with $109.27 per ton in the year-ago quarter.
Alpha Metallurgical has provided a preliminary sales number of $731.5 million for the Met segment for the third quarter of 2023, which indicates a 13% decline from the third quarter of 2022. Coal revenues for the quarter under review are at $739 million, 15% lower than $868 million in the year-ago quarter.
Lower sales, higher cost of coal sales owing to inefficiencies associated with the Slabcamp mine’s approaching end of life as well as further investments in employee wages are expected to have impacted earnings in the third quarter.
