•
|
Other factors that are described under the heading “Risk Factors” found in our reports filed with the SEC, including our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
|
•
|
Coal Pricing.
Our operations in Ohio are exposed to changes in the price of coal on the open market. In recent quarters, the price of coal has been volatile and has generally been pressured by reduced demand, political pressures, and the price of competing products, such as natural gas, that are used in electric power generation. While approximately 72% of our coal tons are sold under supply contracts that are more than one year in duration, terms can vary significantly and may have pricing provisions that may increase or decrease the price of our coal based on broad economic indicators. Recent pricing pressure has resulted in depressed revenues, net income and adjusted EBITDA in recent quarters. Whether pricing and volume softness in this region persists in future periods is dependent upon fluctuations in market demand in the region.
|
•
|
Weather.
During the first six months of 2017, we experienced unfavorable weather patterns in the markets in which we operate. In particular, during the first quarter, our operations in Wyoming experienced unusually high amounts of precipitation, which restricted our ability to supply coal and lowered our coal tons sold and our revenues in the first quarter of 2017. While some of this decline in revenues was offset in the second quarter by customers seeking to replenish stockpiles, a trend that we believe will continue throughout the year, weather conditions are inherently unpredictable and could have positive or negative impacts on operating conditions in future periods.
|
•
|
Key contract renewals.
During the second quarter of 2017, we amended our coal supply agreement with PacifiCorp to sell additional tons of coal during 2018 in response to PacifiCorp's plan to operate Unit 3 at its Naughton generating station through the end of 2018. While this amendment will result in more cash and more revenues from this agreement through 2018, it will also result in revenue recognition being deferred into later periods when lower priced coal tons are sold. Accordingly, 2017 revenues from this contract are expected to be lower than previously expected as more revenues will be deferred into 2018.
|
•
|
Cost Reduction Activities.
Since 2016, we and our parent affiliate, WCC, have sought to reduce costs throughout our organizations. Cost reduction activities during 2016 resulted in disciplined capital expenditure decisions, lower inventory costs, reduced headcount and a decreased reliance on outside services. These factors, in turn, have resulted in lower depreciation, cost of coal revenues and selling and administrative expenses in the 2017 periods as compared to 2016 periods. Cost reduction activities are ongoing.
