Alpha Metallurgical Resources Reports $12.3 Million Second Quarter Loss

Alpha Metallurgical Resources reported a net loss of $12.3 million for the second quarter of 2026, as the Bristol-based supplier grapples with soft market conditions and storm-related disruptions at its primary export facility. The company saw quarterly shipments slip to 3.5 million tons amid ongoing pressure on operational costs.

Alpha Metallurgical Resources Reports $12.3 Million Second Quarter Loss

The company’s second-quarter performance reflects a challenging operational landscape, with Adjusted EBITDA reaching $25.6 million compared to $30.0 million in the first quarter. CEO Andy Eidson noted that the first half of the year was defined by lower shipping volumes and higher-than-anticipated costs. These results prompted management to adjust guidance ranges for the remainder of the year, incorporating expectations for sustained supply costs and continued market softness.

A significant operational hurdle for the quarter involved high-wind damage at the Dominion Terminal Associates (DTA) facility in June. Alpha is currently working with terminal leadership to manage the aftermath, with plans to route some throughput to other East Coast locations to mitigate efficiency losses. While insurance claims and discussions with equipment providers regarding a replacement stacker reclaimer are underway, the company expects these logistical challenges to persist in the near term. Despite the current headwinds, the company maintains a solid liquidity position, reporting $447.8 million as of June 30, 2026, alongside a significant share repurchase program that has seen $1.2 billion in common stock acquired through July.
