Forward Guidance
Ramaco Resources is adjusting its longer-term guidance to reflect a three-year target of achieving roughly 6.5 million tons of production by 2025 and expects to have a record year in 2022.
Positive Outlook
- Company is poised to have a record second half and full-year 2022, with financial metrics at multiples of 2021.
- Company is in growth mode with a goal to increase production to meet future demand for high quality met coal.
- Company is adjusting longer-term guidance to reflect a three-year target of achieving roughly 6.5 million tons of production by 2025.
- This increase will be financed from internally generated cash flow.
- Company intends to sell coal into whatever markets will yield the best netback pricing for 2023.
Challenges Ahead
- First half delivered sales suffered from poor rail service.
- Company built almost 90,000 tons of inventory during the second quarter of 2022, compounding the same logistical issue from the first quarter.
- Had the rails performed, results would have been even stronger and closer to consensus projections.
- Company reduced full-year 2022 production guidance, and increased cost guidance due to Berwind methane ignition incident.
- Company is working closely with both MSHA and West Virginia MHST to investigate the matter and hopefully will soon begin remediation efforts on the affected mine.
