Basis of Presentation | 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Arch Resources, Inc. (“Arch Resources”) and its subsidiaries and controlled entities (the “Company”). Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “Arch” and the “Company” are used interchangeably in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company’s primary business is the production of metallurgical and thermal coal from underground and surface mines located throughout the United States, for sale to steel producers, utility companies, and industrial accounts both in the United States and around the world. The Company currently operates mining complexes in West Virginia, Wyoming and Colorado. All subsidiaries are wholly-owned. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. |

Accounting Policies | 2. Accounting Policies The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for financial reporting and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regulations. Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost. Cash equivalents consist of highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased and investments in commercial paper which the Company classifies as cash and cash equivalents. Restricted Cash Amounts included in restricted cash represent required deposits for a performance bid bond for a potential customer for $1.1 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are recorded at amounts that are expected to be collected, based on past collection history, the economic environment and specified risks identified in the receivables portfolio. Inventories Coal and supplies inventories are valued at the lower of average cost or market. Coal inventory costs include labor, supplies, equipment costs, transportation costs incurred prior to the transfer of title to customers and operating overhead. The costs of removing overburden, called stripping costs, incurred during the production phase of the mine are considered variable production costs and are included in the cost of the coal extracted during the period the stripping costs are incurred. Investments and Membership Interests in Joint Ventures Investments and membership interests in joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting if the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the entity. The Company’s share of the entity’s income or loss is reflected in “Other operating expense (income), net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Information about investment activity is provided in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Equity Method Investments and Membership Interests in Joint Ventures.” Investments in debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at their fair values. Unrealized gains and losses on these investments are recorded in other comprehensive income or loss. A decline in the value of an investment that is considered other-than-temporary would be recognized in operating expenses. Exploration Costs Costs to acquire permits for exploration activities are capitalized. Drilling and other costs related to locating coal deposits and evaluating the economic viability of such deposits are expensed as incurred. Prepaid Royalties Leased mineral rights are often acquired through royalty payments. When royalty payments represent prepayments recoupable against royalties owed on future revenues from the underlying coal, they are recorded as a prepaid asset, with amounts expected to be recouped within one year classified as current. When coal from these leases is sold, the royalties owed are recouped against the prepayment and charged to cost of sales. An impairment charge is recognized for prepaid royalties that are not expected to be recouped. Property, Plant and Equipment Plant and Equipment Plant and equipment were recorded at fair value at emergence during fresh start accounting; subsequent purchases of property, plant and equipment have been recorded at cost. Interest costs incurred during the construction period for major asset additions are capitalized. The Company capitalized $0 interest costs during the year ended December 31, 2022, and $18.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively. Expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing plant and equipment or increase the productivity of the asset are capitalized. The cost of maintenance and repairs that do not extend the useful life or increase the productivity of the asset is expensed as incurred. Preparation plants and loadouts are depreciated using the units-of-production method over the estimated recoverable reserves, subject to a minimum level of depreciation. Other plant and equipment are depreciated principally using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, limited by the remaining life of the mine. The useful lives of mining equipment, including longwalls, draglines and shovels, range from 1 to 16 years. The useful lives of buildings and leasehold improvements generally range from 3 to 20 years. Deferred Mine Development Costs of developing new mines or significantly expanding the capacity of existing mines are capitalized and amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated recoverable reserves that are associated with the property being benefited. Costs may include construction permits and licenses; mine design; construction of access roads, shafts, slopes and main entries; and removing overburden to access reserves in a new pit. Additionally, deferred mine development includes the asset cost associated with asset retirement obligations. Coal sales revenue related to incidental production during the development phase is recorded as coal sales revenue with an offset to cost of coal sales based on the estimated cost per ton sold for the mine when the asset is in place for its intended use. Coal Lands and Mineral Rights Rights to coal reserves may be acquired directly through governmental or private entities. A significant portion of the Company’s coal reserves are controlled through leasing arrangements. Lease agreements are generally long-term in nature (original terms range from 10 to 50 years), and substantially all of the leases contain provisions that allow for automatic extension of the lease term providing certain requirements are met. Leases of mineral reserves and related land leases are exempt from the provisions of the leasing standard. The net book value of the Company’s coal interests was $239.4 million and $259.8 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Payments to acquire royalty lease agreements and lease bonus payments are capitalized as a cost of the underlying mineral reserves and depleted over the life of proven and probable reserves. Coal lease rights are depleted using the units-of-production method, and the rights are assumed to have no residual value. The Company currently does not have any future lease bonus payments. Depreciation, depletion and amortization The depreciation, depletion and amortization related to long-lived assets is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a separate line item. No depreciation, depletion or amortization are included in any other operating cost categories. Impairment If facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying value of a long-lived asset or asset group may not be recoverable, the asset or asset group is reviewed for potential impairment. If this review indicates that the carrying amount of the asset will not be recoverable through projected undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset and its related asset group over its remaining life, then an impairment loss is recognized by reducing the carrying value of the asset to its fair value. The Company may, under certain circumstances, idle mining operations in response to market conditions or other factors. Because an idling is not a permanent closure, it is not considered an automatic indicator of impairment. For information on Impairment, see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Asset impairment and restructuring.” Deferred Financing Costs The Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with new borrowings, the establishment or enhancement of credit facilities and the issuance of debt securities. These costs are amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the life of the borrowing or term of the credit facility using the effective interest method. Debt issuance costs related to a recognized liability are presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of that liability whereas debt issuance costs related to a credit facility with no balance outstanding are shown as an asset. The unamortized balance of deferred financing costs shown as an asset was $1.6 million at December 31, 2022, with $0.6 million classified as current; the unamortized balance of deferred financing costs shown as an asset at December 31, 2021 was $1.2 million with $0.7 million classified as current. The current amounts are classified within “Other current assets” and the noncurrent amounts are classified within “Other noncurrent assets.” For information on the unamortized balance of deferred financing fees related to outstanding debt, see Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Debt and Financing Arrangements.” Revenue Recognition Revenues include sales to customers of coal produced at Company operations and coal purchased from third parties. The Company recognizes revenue at the time risk of loss passes to the customer at contracted amounts. Transportation costs are included in cost of sales and amounts billed by the Company to its customers for transportation are included in revenues. Control of the goods may transfer and revenue may be recognized before, during or subsequent to the period in which final average pricing is determined. For all metallurgical coal sales under average pricing contracts where pricing is not finalized when revenue is recognized, revenue is recorded based on estimated consideration to be received at the date of the sale with reference to metallurgical coal price assessments. Other Operating Expense (Income), net Other operating expense (income), net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations reflects income and expense from sources other than physical coal sales, including: contract settlements; royalties earned from properties leased to third parties; income from equity investments (Note 10, “Equity Method Investments and Membership Interests in Joint Ventures”); non-material gains and losses from divestitures and dispositions of assets; and realized gains and losses on derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting and are not held for trading purposes (Note 11, “Derivatives”); and land management expenses. Asset Retirement Obligations The Company’s legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets are recognized at fair value at the time the obligations are incurred. Accretion expense is recognized through the expected settlement date of the obligation. Obligations are incurred at the time development of a mine commences for underground and surface mines or construction begins for support facilities, refuse areas and slurry ponds. The obligation’s fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow technique and is based upon permit requirements and various estimates and assumptions that would be used by market participants, including estimates of disturbed acreage, reclamation costs and assumptions regarding equipment productivity. Upon initial recognition of a liability, a corresponding amount is capitalized as a component of the carrying value of the related long-lived asset. The Company reviews its asset retirement obligation at least annually and makes necessary adjustments for permit changes as granted by state authorities and for revisions of estimates of the amount and timing of costs. For ongoing operations, adjustments to the liability result in an adjustment to the corresponding asset. For idle operations, adjustments to the liability are recognized as income or expense in the period the adjustment is recorded. Any difference between the recorded obligation and the actual cost of reclamation is recorded in profit or loss in the period the obligation is settled. See additional discussion in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Asset Retirement Obligations.” Loss Contingencies The Company accrues for cost related to contingencies when a loss is probable and the amount is reasonably determinable. Disclosure of contingencies is included in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss or an additional material loss in excess of amounts already accrued may be incurred. The amount accrued represents the Company’s best estimate of the loss, or, if no best estimate within a range of outcomes exists, the minimum amount in the range. Derivative Instruments The Company generally utilizes derivative instruments to manage exposures to commodity prices and interest rate risk on long-term debt. Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. Certain coal contracts may meet the definition of a derivative instrument, but because they provide for the physical purchase or sale of coal in quantities expected to be used or sold by the Company over a reasonable period in the normal course of business, they are not recognized on the balance sheet. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Derivatives” for further disclosures related to the Company’s derivative instruments. Fair Value Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly hypothetical transaction between market participants at a given measurement date. Valuation techniques used must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Fair Value Measurements” for further disclosures related to the Company’s recurring fair value estimates. Income Taxes Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences arising from differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities existing at each balance sheet date using enacted tax rates anticipated to be in effect when the related taxes are expected to be paid or recovered. A valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Management reassesses the ability to realize its deferred tax assets annually in the fourth quarter or when circumstances indicate that the ability to realize deferred tax assets has changed. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers projected realization of tax benefits based on expected levels of future taxable income, available tax planning strategies and the reversal of temporary differences. Benefits from tax positions that are uncertain are not recognized unless the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained in a dispute with taxing authorities, should the dispute be taken to the court of last resort. The Company would measure any such benefit at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with taxing authorities. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Taxes” for further disclosures about income taxes. Benefit Plans The Company has non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering most of its salaried and hourly employees. On January 1, 2015 the Company’s cash balance and excess pension plans were amended to freeze new service credits for any new or active employees. The Company also currently provides certain postretirement medical and life insurance coverage for eligible employees. The cost of providing these benefits is determined on an actuarial basis and accrued over the employees’ period of active service. The Company recognizes the overfunded or underfunded status of these plans as determined on an actuarial basis on the balance sheet and the changes in the funded status are recognized in other comprehensive income. The Company amortizes actuarial gains and losses over the remaining service attribution periods of the employees using the corridor method. See Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Employee Benefit Plans” for additional disclosures relating to these obligations. Stock-Based Compensation The compensation cost of all stock-based awards is determined based on the grant-date fair value of the award, and is recognized over the requisite service period. The grant-date fair value of restricted stock awards with a market condition is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. Compensation cost for an award with performance conditions is accrued if it is probable that the conditions will be met. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. See further discussion in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Stock-Based Compensation and Other Incentive Plans.” Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 , convertible debt instruments. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share calculation for convertible instruments by requiring the use of the if-converted method. The if-converted method assumes the conversion of convertible instruments occurs at the beginning of the reporting period and diluted weighted average shares outstanding includes the common shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public business entities, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 under the modified retrospective approach. Upon issuance of the Company's $155.3 million principal amount of 5.25% convertible senior notes due 2025 (the "Convertible Notes" or “Convertible Debt”) in November 2020, the Company bifurcated the debt and equity components of the Convertible Notes to long-term debt and additional paid-in capital in its consolidated balance sheet. The amount recorded to additional paid-in capital represented a debt discount that was being amortized to interest expense over the life of the Convertible Notes. As part of the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the Company (i) reversed the equity component recorded to additional paid-in capital of $39.2 million, (ii) recorded a cumulative effect of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 of $6.7 million to retained earnings, representing a reversal of the debt discount that was amortized to interest expense, and (iii) an offsetting increase in debt. See Additionally, upon adoption of ASU 2020-06, the treasury stock method utilized by the Company to calculate earnings per share through December 31, 2021 is no longer permitted. Accordingly, the Company has transitioned to the if-converted method utilizing the modified retrospective approach. For the year ended December 31, 2022, under the previous treasury stock method, the diluted earnings per share would have been approximately $65.28 . As a result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06, diluted earnings per share decreased by Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance Not Yet Effective There are no new pronouncements issued but not yet effective expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. |

Derivatives | 11. Derivatives Interest rate risk management The Company has historically used interest rate swaps to reduce the variability of cash outflows associated with interest payments on its variable rate term loan. These swaps were designated as cash flow hedges at inception. For additional information on these arrangements, see Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Debt and Financing Arrangements.” Diesel fuel price risk management The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to diesel fuel purchased for use in its operations. The Company anticipates purchasing approximately 40 to 45 million gallons of diesel fuel for use in its operations during 2023. To protect the Company’s cash flows from increases in the price of diesel fuel, the Company has purchased heating oil call options. At December 31, 2022, the Company had protected the price of expected diesel fuel purchases for 2023 with approximately 15 million gallons of heating oil call options with an average strike price of $4.07 per gallon. These positions are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, and therefore, changes in the fair value are recorded immediately to earnings. Coal risk management positions The Company may sell or purchase forward contracts, swaps and options in the over-the-counter coal market in order to manage its exposure to coal prices. The Company has exposure to the risk of fluctuating coal prices related to forecasted sales or purchases of coal or to the risk of changes in the fair value of a fixed price physical sales contract. Certain derivative contracts may be designated as hedges of these risks. At December 31, 2022, the Company held derivatives for risk management purposes that are expected to settle in the following years: (Tons in thousands) 2023 Coal sales 39 Coal purchases — Tabular derivatives disclosures The Company has master netting agreements with all of its counterparties which allow for the settlement of contracts in an asset position with contracts in a liability position in the event of default or termination.

The Term Loan Debt Facility contains customary events of default, subject to customary thresholds and exceptions, including, among other things, (i) nonpayment of principal and nonpayment of interest and fees, (ii) a material inaccuracy of a representation or warranty at the time made, (iii) a failure to comply with any covenant, subject to customary grace periods in the case of certain affirmative covenants, (iv) cross-events of default to indebtedness of at least $50 million, (v) cross-events of default to surety, reclamation or similar bonds securing obligations with an aggregate face amount of at least $50 million, (vi) uninsured judgments in excess of $50 million, (vii) any loan document shall cease to be a legal, valid and binding agreement, (viii) uninsured losses or proceedings against assets with a value in excess of $50 million, (ix) certain ERISA events, (x) a change of control or (xi) bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings relating to the Company or any material subsidiary of the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company repaid $273.8 million of the Term Loan leaving a remaining balance of $6.5 million. The remaining balance of $6.5 million was left as certain terms and conditions governing the Term Loan are incorporated into the Company’s outstanding indebtedness. As a result of the repayment, the Company recorded million in “net loss resulting from early retirement of debt” during the nine months ended December 31, 2022 in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations relating to deferred financing fees, original issue discount, and the ineffective portion of an interest rate swap designated as a cashflow hedge, partially offset by gains on repurchases of the Term Loans. Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility On August 3, 2022, the Company amended and extended its existing trade accounts receivable securitization facility provided to Arch Receivable Company, LLC, a special-purpose entity that is a wholly owned subsidiary of Arch Resources (“Arch Receivable”) (the “Securitization Facility”), which supports the issuance of letters of credit and requests for cash advances. The amendment to the Securitization Facility increased the size of the facility from $110 million to $150 million of borrowing capacity and extended the maturity date to August 1, 2025. Under the Securitization Facility, Arch Receivable, Arch Resources and certain of Arch Resources’ subsidiaries party to the Securitization Facility have granted to the administrator of the Securitization Facility a first priority security interest in eligible trade accounts receivable generated by such parties from the sale of coal and all proceeds thereof. As of December 31, 2022, letters of credit totaling Inventory-Based Revolving Credit Facility On August 3, 2022, Arch Resources amended the senior secured inventory-based revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $50 million (the “Inventory Facility”) with Regions Bank (“Regions”) as administrative agent and collateral agent, as lender and swingline lender and as letter of credit issuer. Availability under the Inventory Facility is subject to a borrowing base consisting of (i) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible coal inventory, plus (ii) the lesser of (x) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible parts and supplies inventory and (y) 35% of the amount determined pursuant to clause (i), plus (iii) 100% of Arch Resources’ Eligible Cash (defined in the Inventory Facility), subject to reduction for reserves imposed by Regions. The amendment of the Inventory Facility extended the maturity of the facility to August 3, 2025; maintained the minimum Liquidity requirement of $100 million and included provisions that reduce the advance rates for coal inventory and parts and supplies, depending on “liquidity.” Revolving loan borrowings under the Inventory Facility bear interest at a per annum rate equal to, at the option of Arch Resources, either the base rate or the London interbank offered rate plus, in each case, a margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.50% (in the case of LIBOR loans) subject to a 0.75% LIBOR floor, and 1.50% to 2.50% (in the case of base rate loans) determined using a Liquidity-based grid. Letters of credit under the Inventory Facility are subject to a fee in an amount equal to the applicable margin for LIBOR loans, plus customary fronting and issuance fees. All existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries of Arch Resources, subject to customary exceptions, will either constitute co-borrowers under or guarantors of the Inventory Facility (collectively with Arch Resources, the “Loan Parties”). The Inventory Facility is secured by first priority security interests in the ABL Priority Collateral (defined in the Inventory Facility) of the Loan Parties and second priority security interests in substantially all other assets of the Loan Parties, subject to customary exceptions (including an exception for the collateral that secures the Securitization Facility). Arch Resources has the right to prepay borrowings under the Inventory Facility at any time and from time to time in whole or in part without premium or penalty, upon written notice, except that any prepayment of such borrowings that bear interest at the LIBOR rate other than at the end of the applicable interest periods therefore shall be made with reimbursement for any funding losses and redeployment costs of the Lender resulting therefrom. The Inventory Facility is subject to certain usual and customary mandatory prepayment events, including non-ordinary course asset sales or dispositions, subject to customary thresholds, exceptions (including exceptions for required prepayments under Arch Resources’ term loan facility) and reinvestment rights. The Inventory Facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants; events of default, subject to customary thresholds and exceptions; and representations, including certain cash management and reporting requirements that are customary for asset-based credit facilities. The Inventory Facility also includes a requirement to maintain Liquidity equal to or exceeding $100 million at all times. As of December 31, 2022, letters of credit totaling $26.2 million were outstanding under the facility with $23.8 million available for borrowings. Equipment Financing On March 4, 2020, the Company entered into an equipment financing arrangement accounted for as debt. The Company received million in exchange for conveying an interest in certain equipment in operation at its Leer Mine and entered into a master lease arrangement for that equipment. The financing arrangement contains customary terms and events of default and provides for maturing on March 4, 2024. Upon maturity, all interests in the subject equipment will revert back to the Company. On July 29, 2021, the Company entered into an additional equipment financing arrangement accounted for as debt. The Company received maturing on February 1, 2025. Upon maturity, the Company will have the option to purchase the equipment. Tax Exempt Bonds On July 2, 2020, the West Virginia Economic Development Authority (the “Issuer”) issued $53.1 million aggregate principal amount of Solid Waste Disposal Facility Revenue Bonds (Arch Resources Project), Series 2020 (the “2020 Tax Exempt Bonds”) pursuant to an Indenture of Trust dated as of June 1, 2020 (as amended to date, the “Indenture of Trust”) between the Issuer and Citibank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). On March 4, 2021, the Issuer issued an additional million of Series 2021 Tax Exempt Bonds (the “2021 Tax Exempt Bonds” and together with the 2020 Tax Exempt Bonds, the “Tax Exempt Bonds”). The proceeds of the Tax Exempt Bonds were loaned to the Company pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated as of June 1, as supplemented by a First Amendment to Loan Agreement dated as of March 1, 2021 (collectively, the “Loan Agreement”), each between the Issuer and the Company. The Tax Exempt Bonds are payable solely from payments to be made by the Company under the Loan Agreement as evidenced by a Note from the Company to the Trustee. The proceeds of the Tax Exempt Bonds were used to finance certain costs of the acquisition, construction, reconstruction, and equipping of solid waste disposal facilities at the Company’s Leer South development, and for capitalized interest and certain costs related to issuance of the Tax Exempt Bonds. The Tax Exempt Bonds bear interest payable each January 1 and July 1, and have a final maturity of July 1, 2045; however, the Tax Exempt Bonds are subject to mandatory tender on July 1, 2025 at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Tax Exempt Bonds, plus accrued interest to July 1, 2025. The 2020 Tax Exempt Bonds and 2021 Tax Exempt Bonds bear interest of The Tax Exempt Bonds are subject to redemption (i) in whole or in part at any time on or after January 1, 2025 at the option of the Issuer, upon the Company’s direction at a redemption price of par, plus interest accrued to the redemption date; and (ii) at par plus interest accrued to the redemption date from certain excess Tax Exempt Bonds proceeds as further described in the Indenture of Trust. The Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement are (i) except as otherwise described below, secured by first priority liens on and security interests in substantially all of the Company’s and Subsidiary Guarantors’ real property and other assets, subject to certain customary exceptions and permitted liens, and in any event excluding accounts receivable and inventory; and (ii) jointly and severally guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors, subject to customary exceptions. The collateral securing the Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement is substantially the same as the collateral securing the obligations under the Term Loan Debt Facility other than with respect to variances in certain real property collateral. The real property securing the Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement includes a subset of the real property collateral securing the obligations under the Term Loan Debt Facility and includes only mortgages on substantially all of the Company’s revenue generating real property and assets. The Loan Agreement contains certain affirmative covenants and representations, including but not limited to: (i) maintenance of a rating on the Tax Exempt Bonds; (ii) maintenance of proper books of records and accounts; (iii) agreement to add additional guarantors to guarantee the obligations under the Loan Agreement in certain circumstances; (iv) procurement of customary insurance; and (v) preservation of legal existence and certain rights, franchises, licenses and permits. The Loan Agreement also contains certain customary negative covenants, which, among other things, and subject to certain exceptions, include restrictions on (i) release of collateral securing the Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement; (ii) mergers and consolidations and disposition of assets, and (iii) restrictions on actions that may jeopardize the tax-exempt status of the Tax Exempt Bonds. The Loan Agreement contains customary events of default, subject to customary thresholds and exceptions, including, among other things: (i) nonpayment of principal, purchase price, interest and other fees (subject to certain cure periods); (ii) bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings relating to us; (iii) material inaccuracy of a representation or warranty at the time made; (iv) cross-events of default to indebtedness of at least $50 million; and (v) cross defaults to the Indenture of Trust, the guaranty related to the Tax Exempt Bonds or any related security documents. Convertible Debt On November 3, 2020, the Company issued $155.3 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.25% convertible senior notes due 2025 (“Convertible Notes” or “Convertible Debt”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes, after deducting offering related costs of $5.1 million and cost of a “Capped Call Transaction” as defined below of $17.5 million, were approximately $132.7 million. The Convertible Notes bear interest at the annual rate of 5.25%, payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on May 15, 2021, and will mature on November 15, 2025, unless earlier converted or repurchased by the Company. The Convertible Notes are convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election, at an initial conversion rate of 26.7917 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $37.325 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Convertible Notes (the "Indenture"). The conversion rate of the Convertible Notes may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in connection with a conversion of the Convertible Notes made following certain fundamental changes and under other circumstances set forth in the Indenture such as a declaration of a dividend. The Convertible Notes are redeemable, in whole and not part, at the Company’s option at any time on or after November 20, 2023 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on: (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. In addition, calling the Convertible Notes for redemption will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, which will result in an increase to the conversion rate in certain circumstances for a specified period of time. No sinking fund is provided for the Convertible Notes. During 2022, the conversion price was revalued on a quarterly basis due to quarterly dividend declarations and the conversion price is $31.751 per share at December 31, 2022. The Convertible Notes may be converted in certain circumstances, including at any time after, and including, July 15, 2025 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. During the fourth quarter of 2022, the common stock sale condition of the Convertible Notes was satisfied. As described in the Indenture, this condition is satisfied when the closing stock price exceeds of the conversion price for at least trading days prior to quarter end. As a result, the Convertible Notes are currently convertible at the election of noteholders during the fourth quarter of 2022 and are classified as current maturities of debt on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company entered into exchange and repurchase agreements for $142.1 million principal amount of the Convertible Notes for aggregate consideration consisting of $208.1 million in cash and approximately 2.6 million shares of Arch Resources common stock. In connection with the exchanges and repurchases, the Company recognized a total loss of $10.3 million which includes inducement premium payments of $5.0 million, unamortized deferred financing fees of $3.8 million and professional fees of $1.5 million. This amount is included as “Net loss resulting from early retirement of debt” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2022, $13.2 million of the Convertible Notes remained outstanding and the if-converted value of the Convertible Notes exceeded the principal amount by $46.0 million. Total interest expense related to the Convertible Debt for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $4.7 million, which was related to the contractual interest coupon of $4.1 million and $0.6 million of amortization of deferred financing fees. Total interest expense related to the Convertible Debt for the year ended December 31, 2021 was Capped Call Transactions In connection with the offering of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (collectively, the “Capped Call Transactions”). The Capped Call Transactions cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that initially underlie the Convertible Notes. The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount due upon conversion of the Convertible Notes in the event that the market price of the Company’s common stock is greater than the strike price of the Capped Call Transactions, which was initially $37.325 per share and the initial cap price was $52.255 per share. The initial call and cap prices are subject to adjustments under the terms of the underlying capped call agreements, including for various transactions such as the payment of dividends. The number of shares underlying the Capped Call Transactions is The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions was initially $52.2550 per share, which represented a premium of 75% over the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on October 29, 2020. The cost of the Capped Call Transactions was approximately As of December 31, 2022, the Capped Call Transactions remain outstanding and have an intrinsic value of $62.1 million. The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions, in each case entered into between the Company and the respective Option Counterparty, and are not part of the terms of the Convertible Notes and will not affect any holder’s rights under the Convertible Notes. Holders of the Convertible Notes will not have any rights with respect to the Capped Call Transactions. Additionally, the cost of the Capped Call Transactions is not expected to be tax deductible as the Company did not elect to integrate the Capped Call Transactions into the notes for tax purposes. As the Capped Call Transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the were classified as equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. Interest Rate Swaps The Company entered into a series of interest rate swaps to fix a portion of the LIBOR interest payments due under the Term Loan Debt Facility. Through the date of the prepayment, the interest rate swaps qualified for cash flow hedge accounting treatment, and as such, the change in the fair value of the interest rate swaps was recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as an asset or liability with the effective portion of the gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion reported in earnings. Due to the Company repaying the majority of the Term Loans in the first quarter of 2022, the interest rate swaps no longer qualify for cash flow hedge accounting and are considered ineffective. As a result, the Company reclassified million from other comprehensive income to expense. Additionally, future changes in value of the interest rate swaps will be recorded to “other operating expense (income), net” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the interest rate swaps at December 31, 2022 is an asset of $1.2 million, which is recorded within Other noncurrent assets. The interest rate swaps are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Debt Maturities The contractual maturities of debt as of December 31, 2022 are as follows: Year (In thousands) 2023 $ 46,008 2024 12,203 2025 118,994 2026 — 2027 — Thereafter — $ 177,205 Financing Costs The Company paid financing costs of $1.0 million, $2.1 million and $9.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. |

The Company assesses the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets (including temporary differences and tax attributes) through a review of all available positive and negative evidence. On the basis of this assessment, a full valuation allowance was recorded against the Company's net deferred tax assets in 2015 and maintained through 2021. As of December 31, 2021, a $504.4 million valuation allowance fully offset the Company's net deferred tax assets. During 2022, the Company experienced record profitability, recording a pre-tax profit of $1.08 billion for the year. After considering the impact of this and the resulting significant 3-year cumulative income position, along with all other positive and negative evidence, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets would be realized, except for certain state NOLs and capital losses. Based on this conclusion, the Company released valuation allowance totaling $420.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2022. A corresponding income tax benefit was also recorded through continuing operations. At December 31, 2022, the Company has gross NOL carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $607.1 million. Of these carryforwards, approximately $334.5 million will expire, if not utilized, in various years through 2037. The remaining carryforwards have no expiration; however, they can only be used to offset 80% of our U.S. federal taxable income in any taxable year beginning after December 31, 2022. The ability to use our net NOLs in existence immediately prior to our emergence from bankruptcy in 2016 has been limited by the “ownership change” under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) that occurred as a result of such emergence (the “Emergence Ownership Change”). NOLs generated after the Emergence Ownership Change are generally not subject to limitations resulting from the Emergence Ownership Change. On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was signed into law. This legislation introduces a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax among its key tax provisions. The IRA is effective for years beginning after December 31, 2022, therefore, the Company did not experience material impact in the current year. The Company will continue to evaluate the effects of IRA on future periods, however, does not anticipate any material impact. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits follows: (In thousands) Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 39,729 Additions based on tax positions to the current year 1,583 Additions for tax positions related to the prior year 7,918 Reductions for tax positions of prior years (732) Reductions as a result of lapses in the statute of limitations (382) Balance at December 31, 2020 48,116 Additions for tax positions related to the current year 3,467 Additions for tax positions related to the prior year 3,931 Reductions for tax positions of prior years (2,868) Reductions as a result of lapses in the statute of limitations (3,683) Balance at December 31, 2021 48,963 Additions based on tax positions to the current year 5,446 Additions for tax positions related to the prior year 768 Reductions for tax positions of prior years (125) Reductions as a result of lapses in the statute of limitations (36,988) Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 18,064 If recognized, the entire amount of the gross unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2022 would affect the effective tax rate. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company had accrued interest and penalties of The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state jurisdictions.

Asset Retirement Obligations | 15. Asset Retirement Obligations The Company’s asset retirement obligations arise from the Federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 and similar state statutes, which require that mine property be restored in accordance with specified standards and an approved reclamation plan. The required reclamation activities to be performed are outlined in the Company’s mining permits. These activities include reclaiming the pit and support acreage at surface mines, sealing portals at underground mines, reclaiming refuse areas and slurry ponds and water treatment. The following table describes the changes to the Company’s asset retirement obligation liability: Year Ended Year Ended December 31, December 31, 2022 2021 (In thousands) Balance at beginning of period (including current portion) $ 214,453 $ 257,764 Accretion expense 17,721 21,748 Obligations of divested operations — — Adjustments to the liability from changes in estimates 25,914 (26,012) Reclamation work completed (13,720) (39,047) Balance at period end $ 244,368 $ 214,453 Current portion included in accrued expenses (8,632) (21,781) Noncurrent liability $ 235,736 $ 192,672 As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $457.1 million in reclamation surety bonds outstanding and posted $0.6 million in cash as collateral related to the surety bonds; this amount is recorded within “Noncurrent assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, through December 31, 2022, the Company has contributed $136.0 million to a fund that will serve to defease the long-term asset retirement obligation for its thermal asset base; this amount is recorded as “Fund for asset retirement obligations” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The funds are invested in highly rated securities, such as U.S. Treasuries, which fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The funds will only be utilized for final mine closure reclamation activities. |

The actual number and value of the shares to be purchased will depend on the performance of the Company’s stock price and other market conditions. On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was signed into law. This legislation introduces a 1% excise tax on stock buybacks among its key tax provisions. The IRA is effective for years beginning after December 31, 2022. During 2022, the Company repurchased 1,118,457 shares at an average price of $141.97 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $158.8 million. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had repurchased Outstanding Warrants In October 2016, the Company emerged from Chapter 11 which became known as the “Effective Date”. On the Effective Date, the Company entered into a warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC as warrant agent and, pursuant to the terms of the Plan, issued warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,914,856 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Arch Resources (the “Class A Common Stock”) to certain holders of claims in the Chapter 11 case. Each Warrant expires on October 5, 2023, and is initially exercisable for one share of Class A Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $57.00 per share. The Warrants are exercisable by a holder paying the exercise price in cash or on a cashless basis, at the election of the holder. The Warrants contain anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, dividends and distributions of cash, other securities or other property, spin-offs and tender and exchange offers by Arch Resources or its subsidiaries to purchase Class A Common Stock at above-market prices. If, in connection with a merger, recapitalization, business combination, transfer to a third party of substantially all of Arch Resources’ consolidated assets or other transaction that results in a change to the Class A Common Stock (each, a “Transaction”), (i) the Transaction is consummated prior to the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date and the Transaction consideration to holders of Class A Common Stock is or more listed common stock or common stock of a company that provides publicly available financial reporting, and holds management calls regarding the same, no less than quarterly (“Reporting Stock”) or (ii) regardless of the consideration, the Transaction is consummated on or after the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, the Warrants will be assumed by the surviving company and will become exercisable for the consideration that the holders of Class A Common Stock receive in such Transaction; provided minus multiplied by During 2022, holders of warrants exercised 573,341 of the warrants, leaving 1,252,082 warrants outstanding at December 31, 2022. As provided in ASC 825-20, “Financial Instruments,” the warrants are considered equity because they can only be physically settled in Company shares, can be settled in unregistered shares, the Company has adequate authorized shares to settle the outstanding warrants and each warrant is fixed in terms of settlement to one share of Company stock subject only to remote contingency adjustment factors designed to assure the relative value in terms of shares remains fixed. |

Stock-Based Compensation And Other Incentive Plans | 18. Stock-Based Compensation and Other Incentive Plans Under the Company’s 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), 3.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for awards to officers and other selected key management employees of the Company. The Incentive Plan provides the Board of Directors with the flexibility to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance stock or units, phantom stock awards and rights to acquire stock through purchase under a stock purchase program (“Awards”). Awards the Board of Directors elects to pay out in cash do not impact the shares authorized in the Incentive Plan. Shares available for award under the plan were 1.8 million at December 31, 2022. Restricted Stock Unit Awards The Company may issue restricted stock and restricted stock units, which require no payment from the employee. Restricted stock cliff-vests at various dates and restricted stock units either vest ratably over or vest at the end of the award’s stated vesting period. Compensation expense is based on the fair value on the grant date and is recorded ratably over the vesting period utilizing the straight-line recognition method. Upon vesting, the employee receives cash compensation equal to the amount of dividends that would have been paid on the underlying shares. During 2022, the Company granted both time and performance-based awards. The time-based awards vest ratably over a risk-free rate was derived from yields on U.S. Government bonds. Information regarding the restricted stock units activity and weighted average grant-date fair value follows: Time Based Awards Performance Based Awards Weighted Weighted Average Average Restricted Grant-Date Restricted Grant-Date Stock Units Fair Value Stock Units Fair Value (Shares in thousands) Outstanding at January 1, 2022 429 $ 61.60 341 $ 53.49 Granted & Reinvested 94 106.27 79 163.31 Forfeited/Canceled (14) 49.61 (13) 56.04 Vested (150) 60.62 — — Unvested outstanding at December 31, 2022 359 $ 74.14 407 $ 74.68 The Company recognized expense related to restricted stock units of $27.4 million, $20.5 million and $17.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, there was $28.8 million of unrecognized share-based compensation expense which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately two years. |

Workers' Compensation Expense | 19. Workers’ Compensation Expense The Company is liable under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1969, as subsequently amended, to provide for pneumoconiosis (occupational disease) benefits to eligible employees, former employees and dependents. The Company currently provides for federal claims principally through a self-insurance program. The Company is also liable under various state workers’ compensation statutes for occupational disease benefits. The occupational disease benefit obligation represents the present value of the actuarially computed present and future liabilities for such benefits over the employees’ applicable years of service. In October 2019, the Company filed an application with the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (“OWCP”) within the Department of Labor for reauthorization to self-insure federal black lung benefits. In February 2020, the Company received a reply from the OWCP confirming its status to remain self-insured contingent upon posting additional collateral of $71.1 million within 30 days of receipt of the letter. The Company is currently appealing the ruling from the OWCP and has received an extension to self-insure during the appeal process. On January 18, 2023, the OWCP proposed revisions to regulations under the Black Lung Benefits Act (BLBA) governing authorization of self-insurers. The revisions seek to codify the practice of basing a self-insured operator’s security requirement on an actuarial assessment of its total present and future black lung liability. A material change to the regulations is the requirements that all self-insured operators must post security equal to The proposed regulations were posted to the Federal Register on January 19, 2023 with written comments to be accepted within 60 days of this date. The revisions proposed by the OWCP were a material deviation from their bulletin issued in December 2020 that would have required the majority of coal operators to post security equal to 70% of their projected black lung liabilities, which equated to the Company posting additional collateral of $71.1 million as mentioned previously. If the above regulation is codified into law, the Company will be required to post additional collateral to maintain its self-insured status. The Company is evaluating alternatives to self-insurance, including the purchase of commercial insurance to cover these claims. Additionally, the Company is assessing the availability of surety bond capacity within the markets, additional sources of liquidity, and other items to satisfy the proposed regulations. In addition, the Company is liable for workers’ compensation benefits for traumatic injuries which are calculated using actuarially-based loss rates, loss development factors and discounted based on a risk-free rate of 3.41%. Traumatic workers’ compensation claims are insured with varying retentions/deductibles, or through state-sponsored workers’ compensation programs.

Employee Benefit Plans | 20. Employee Benefit Plans Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans The Company provides funded and unfunded non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering certain of its salaried and hourly employees. Benefits are generally based on the employee’s age and compensation. The Company funds the plans in an amount not less than the minimum statutory funding requirements or more than the maximum amount that can be deducted for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company also currently provides certain postretirement medical and life insurance coverage for eligible employees. Generally, covered employees who terminate employment after meeting eligibility requirements are eligible for postretirement coverage for themselves and their dependents. The Company offers a subsidy to eligible retirees based on age and years of service at retirement and contain other cost-sharing features such as deductibles and coinsurance. The Company’s current funding policy is to fund the cost of all postretirement benefits as they are paid. On January 1, 2015, the Company’s cash balance and excess plans were amended to freeze new service credits for any new or active employees. Obligations and Funded Status.

The obligations are remeasured at an updated discount rate that impacts the benefit cost recognized subsequent to the remeasurement. The Company establishes the expected long-term rate of return at the beginning of each fiscal year based upon historical returns and projected returns on the underlying mix of invested assets. The Company utilizes modern portfolio theory modeling techniques in the development of its return assumptions. This technique projects rates of return that can be generated through various asset allocations that lie within the risk tolerance set forth by members of the Company’s retirement committee (the “Retirement Committee”). The risk assessment provides a link between a pension plan’s risk capacity, management’s willingness to accept investment risk and the asset allocation process, which ultimately leads to the return generated by the invested assets. The health care cost trend rate assumed for 2022 is 8.0% and is expected to reach an ultimate trend rate of 4.0% by 2048. Plan Assets The Retirement Committee is responsible for overseeing the investment of pension plan assets. The Retirement Committee is responsible for determining and monitoring appropriate asset allocations and for selecting or replacing investment managers, trustees and custodians. The pension plan’s current investment targets are 15% equity and 85% fixed income securities. The Retirement Committee reviews the actual asset allocation in light of these targets on a periodic basis and rebalances among investments as necessary. The Retirement Committee evaluates the performance of investment managers as compared to the performance of specified benchmarks and peers and monitors the investment managers to ensure adherence to their stated investment style and to the plan’s investment guidelines.

Earnings per Common Share | 21. Earnings Per Common Share The Company computes basic net income (loss) per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and the effect of potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities may consist of warrants, restricted stock units or other contingently issuable shares and convertible debt. The dilutive effect of outstanding warrants, restricted stock units is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method whereas the Convertible Debt uses the if-converted method.

Leases The Company has operating and finance leases for mining equipment, office equipment and office space with remaining lease terms ranging from less than one year to approximately six years. Some of these leases include both lease and non-lease components which are accounted for as a single lease component as the Company has elected the practical expedient to combine these components for all leases. As most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company calculated the Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities using its’ secured incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had the following ROU assets and lease liabilities within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets: December 31, December 31, 2022 2021 Assets Balance Sheet Classification Operating lease right-of-use assets Other noncurrent assets $ 12,106 $ 14,646 Financing lease right-of-use assets Other noncurrent assets 2,918 4,215 Total Lease Assets $ 15,024 $ 18,861 Liabilities Balance Sheet Classification Financing lease liabilities - current Accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ 977 $ 917 Operating lease liabilities - current Accrued expenses and other current liabilities 2,722 2,606 Financing lease liabilities - long-term Other noncurrent liabilities 3,121 4,097 Operating lease liabilities - long-term Other noncurrent liabilities 9,993 12,713 $ 16,813 $ 20,333 Weighted average remaining lease term in years Operating leases 4.14 5.14 Finance leases 2.25 3.25 Weighted average discount rate Operating leases 5.5% 5.5% Finance leases 6.4% 6.4% Information related to leases was as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2022 2021 (In thousands) Operating lease information: Operating lease cost $ 3,323 $ 3,364 Operating cash flows from operating leases 3,389 3,377 Financing lease information: Financing lease cost $ 1,572 $ 1,572 Operating cash flows from financing leases 1,210 1,210 Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable leases as of December 31, 2022 were as follows: Operating Finance Year Leases Leases (In thousands) 2023 $ 3,356 $ 1,210 2024 3,200 1,210 2025 3,185 2,111 2026 3,080 — 2027 1,533 — Thereafter — — Total minimum lease payments $ 14,354 $ 4,531 Less imputed interest (1,639) (433) Total lease liabilities $ 12,715 $ 4,098 Rental expense, including amounts related to these operating leases and other shorter-term arrangements, amounted to $11.5 million in 2022, $9.2 million in 2021 and $8.6 million in 2020. Royalties are paid to lessors either as a fixed price per ton or as a percentage of the gross selling price of the mined coal. Royalties under the majority of the Company’s significant leases are paid on the percentage of gross selling price basis. Royalty expense, including production royalties, was $189.7 million in 2022, $127.8 million in 2021, and $103.7 million in 2020. As of December 31, 2022, certain of the Company’s lease obligations were secured by outstanding surety bonds totaling $31.8 million. |

Risk Concentrations | 23. Risk Concentrations Credit Risk and Major Customers The Company has a formal written credit policy that establishes procedures to determine creditworthiness and credit limits for trade customers and counterparties in the over-the-counter coal market. Generally, credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition. Collateral is not generally required, unless credit cannot be established. Credit losses are provided for in the financial statements and historically have been minimal. The Company markets its thermal coal principally to domestic and foreign electric utilities and its metallurgical coal to domestic and foreign steel producers. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, accounts receivable from sales of thermal coal of $94.1 million and $72.8 million, respectively, represented 40% and 22% of total trade receivables at each date. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, accounts receivable from sales of metallurgical-quality coal of $142.9 million and $251.5 million, respectively, represented 60% and 78% of total trade receivables at each date. The Company uses shipping destination as the basis for attributing revenue to individual countries. Because title may transfer on brokered transactions at a point that does not reflect the end usage point, they are reflected as exports, and attributed to an end delivery point if that knowledge is known to the Company. The Company’s foreign revenues by geographical location are as follows: Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended December 31, December 31, December 31, 2022 2021 2020 (In thousands) Europe $ 939,955 $ 592,702 $ 289,176 Asia 1,210,855 446,724 138,086 Central and South America 160,642 109,613 56,905 Africa — — 12,763 Total $ 2,311,452 $ 1,149,039 $ 496,930 The Company is committed under long-term contracts to supply thermal coal that meets certain quality requirements at specified prices. These prices are generally adjusted based on market indices. Quantities sold under some of these contracts may vary from year to year within certain limits at the option of the customer based on their requirements. The Company sold approximately 78.3 million tons of coal in 2022. Approximately 68% of this tonnage (representing approximately 36% of the Company’s revenues) was sold under long-term contracts (contracts having a term of greater than one year). Long-term contracts range in remaining life from one Third-party sources of coal The Company purchases coal from third parties that it sells to customers. Factors beyond the Company’s control could affect the availability of coal purchased by the Company. Disruptions in the quantities of coal purchased by the Company could impair its ability to fill customer orders or require it to purchase coal from other sources at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy those orders. Transportation The Company depends upon barge, rail, truck and belt transportation systems to deliver coal to its customers. Disruption of these transportation services due to weather-related problems, mechanical difficulties, strikes, lockouts, bottlenecks, and other events could temporarily impair the Company’s ability to supply coal to its customers. In the past, disruptions in rail service have resulted in missed shipments and production interruptions. |

Revenue Recognition | 24. Revenue Recognition ASC 606-10-50-5 requires that entities disclose disaggregated revenue information in categories (such as type of good or service, geography, market, type of contract, etc.) that depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flow are affected by economic factors. ASC 606-10-55-89 explains that the extent to which an entity’s revenue is disaggregated depends on the facts and circumstances that pertain to the entity’s contracts with customers and that some entities may need to use more than one type of category to meet the objective for disaggregating revenue. In general, the Company’s business segmentation is aligned according to the nature and economic characteristics of its coal and customer relationships and provides meaningful disaggregation of each segment’s results. The Company has further disaggregated revenue between North America and Seaborne revenues which depicts the pricing and contract differences between the two. North America revenue is characterized by contracts with a term of one year or longer and typically the pricing is fixed; whereas Seaborne revenue generally is derived by spot or short term contracts with an indexed based pricing mechanism. Corporate, Other and MET Thermal Eliminations Consolidated (in thousands) Year Ended December 31, 2022 North America revenues $ 232,831 $ 1,180,310 $ — $ 1,413,141 Seaborne revenues 1,924,879 386,573 — 2,311,452 Total revenues $ 2,157,710 $ 1,566,883 $ — $ 3,724,593 Year Ended December 31, 2021 North America revenues $ 163,833 $ 893,741 $ 1,429 $ 1,059,003 Seaborne revenues 985,300 163,739 — 1,149,039 Total revenues $ 1,149,133 $ 1,057,480 $ 1,429 $ 2,208,042 Year Ended December 31, 2020 North America revenues $ 173,508 $ 772,730 $ 24,424 $ 970,662 Seaborne revenues 468,028 28,902 — 496,930 Total revenues $ 641,536 $ 801,632 $ 24,424 $ 1,467,592 As of December 31, 2022, the Company has outstanding performance obligations for approximately 75.4 million tons of coal for 2023 representing 68.1 million tons of fixed price contracts and 7.3 million tons of variable price contracts. Additionally, the Company has outstanding performance obligations of approximately 66.3 million tons in periods beyond 2023 comprised of 63.5 million tons of fixed price contracts and 2.8 million tons of variable price contracts. |

Commitments and Contingencies | |
Commitments and Contingencies | 25. Commitments and Contingencies The Company accrues for cost related to contingencies when a loss is probable and the amount is reasonably determinable. Disclosure of contingencies is included in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss or an additional material loss in excess of amounts already accrued may be incurred. The Company is a party to numerous claims and lawsuits with respect to various matters. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had accrued $2.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for all legal matters, all classified as current. The ultimate resolution of any such legal matter could result in outcomes which may be materially different from amounts the Company has accrued for such matters. The Company believes it has recorded adequate reserves for these matters. In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to certain financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, such as bank letters of credit, performance or surety bonds, and other guarantees and indemnities related to the obligations of affiliated entities which are not reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, the underlying liabilities that they secure, such as asset retirement obligations, workers’ compensation liabilities, and other obligations, are reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had outstanding surety bonds with a face amount of $545.9 million to secure various obligations and commitments and $68.0 million of letters of credit under its Securitization and Inventory Facilities used to collateralize certain obligations. The Company had posted $5.6 million in cash collateral related to various obligations; this amount is recorded within “Other noncurrent assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s reclamation-related obligations of $244.4 million were supported by surety bonds of $457.1 million; and the Company has posted $0.6 million in cash collateral related to reclamation surety bonds. This amount is recorded within “Other noncurrent assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, through December 31, 2022, the Company has contributed $136.0 million to a fund that will serve to defease the long-term asset retirement obligation for its thermal asset base; this amount is recorded as “ Fund for asset retirement obligations ” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The funds will be utilized for final mine closure reclamation activities. The Company has unconditional purchase obligations relating to purchases of coal, materials and supplies and capital commitments, other than reserve acquisitions, and is also a party to transportation capacity commitments. The future commitments under these agreements total $219.0 million in 2023, and is immaterial thereafter. |

Segment Information | 26. Segment Information On December 31, 2020, the Company sold its Viper operation. As a result, the Company revised its reportable segments beginning in the first quarter of 2021 to reflect the manner in which the chief operating decision maker (CODM) views the Company’s businesses going forward for purposes of reviewing performance, allocating resources and assessing future prospects and strategic execution. Prior to the first quarter of 2021, the Company had reportable segments: MET, Powder River Basin (PRB), and Other Thermal. After the divestment of Viper, the Company has remaining active thermal mines: West Elk, Black Thunder, and Coal Creek. With segments aligns with how the Company makes decisions and allocates resources. remaining thermal mines are now reported as the “Thermal Segment”. The prior periods have been recasted to reflect the change in reportable segments. The Company’s reportable business segments are based on two distinct lines of business, metallurgical and thermal, and may include a number of mine complexes. The Company manages its coal sales by market and coal quality, not by individual mining complex. Geology, coal transportation routes to customers, and regulatory environments also have a significant impact on the Company’s marketing and operations management. Mining operations are evaluated based on Adjusted EBITDA, per-ton cash operating costs (defined as including all mining costs except depreciation, depletion, amortization, accretion on asset retirement obligations, and pass-through transportation expenses, divided by segment tons sold), and on other non-financial measures, such as safety and environmental performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial condition. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to net income (loss), income (loss) from operations, cash flows from operations or as a measure of our profitability, liquidity or performance under generally accepted accounting principles. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of its segments and allocate resources to the segments. Furthermore, analogous measures are used by industry analysts and investors to evaluate the Company’s operating performance. Investors should be aware that the Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company reports its results of operations primarily through the following reportable segments: Metallurgical (MET) segment, containing the Company’s metallurgical operations in West Virginia, and the Thermal segment containing the Company’s thermal operations in Wyoming and Colorado. In November of 2021, the Company sold its equity investment Knight Hawk Holdings, LLC, which had been part of its Corporate, Other and Eliminations grouping. For further information on the sale of Knight Hawk Holdings, LLC, please see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Divestitures.” On December 31, 2020, the Company sold its Viper operation, which had been part of its Thermal segment. Viper’s results for the full year of 2020 are included in the Company’s full year 2020 results, and in all preceding periods’ results presented herein. For further information on the sale of Viper to Knight Hawk Holdings, LLC, please see Note 4, “Divestitures” to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Reporting segment results for the year ended December 31, 2022, the year ended December 31, 2021, and the year ended December 31, 2020 are presented below. The Corporate, Other, and Eliminations grouping includes these charges: idle operations; change in fair value of coal derivatives and coal trading activities, net; corporate overhead; land management activities; other support functions; and the elimination of intercompany transactions.

Accounting Policies | |
Accounting Estimates | Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost. Cash equivalents consist of highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased and investments in commercial paper which the Company classifies as cash and cash equivalents. |
Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash Amounts included in restricted cash represent required deposits for a performance bid bond for a potential customer for $1.1 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. |
Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are recorded at amounts that are expected to be collected, based on past collection history, the economic environment and specified risks identified in the receivables portfolio. |
Inventories | Inventories Coal and supplies inventories are valued at the lower of average cost or market. Coal inventory costs include labor, supplies, equipment costs, transportation costs incurred prior to the transfer of title to customers and operating overhead. The costs of removing overburden, called stripping costs, incurred during the production phase of the mine are considered variable production costs and are included in the cost of the coal extracted during the period the stripping costs are incurred. |
Investments and Membership Interests in Joint Ventures | Investments and Membership Interests in Joint Ventures Investments and membership interests in joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting if the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the entity. The Company’s share of the entity’s income or loss is reflected in “Other operating expense (income), net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Information about investment activity is provided in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Equity Method Investments and Membership Interests in Joint Ventures.” Investments in debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at their fair values. Unrealized gains and losses on these investments are recorded in other comprehensive income or loss. A decline in the value of an investment that is considered other-than-temporary would be recognized in operating expenses. |
Exploration Costs | Exploration Costs Costs to acquire permits for exploration activities are capitalized. Drilling and other costs related to locating coal deposits and evaluating the economic viability of such deposits are expensed as incurred. |
Prepaid Royalties | Prepaid Royalties Leased mineral rights are often acquired through royalty payments. When royalty payments represent prepayments recoupable against royalties owed on future revenues from the underlying coal, they are recorded as a prepaid asset, with amounts expected to be recouped within one year classified as current. When coal from these leases is sold, the royalties owed are recouped against the prepayment and charged to cost of sales. An impairment charge is recognized for prepaid royalties that are not expected to be recouped. |
Property, Plant and Equipment | Property, Plant and Equipment Plant and Equipment Plant and equipment were recorded at fair value at emergence during fresh start accounting; subsequent purchases of property, plant and equipment have been recorded at cost. Interest costs incurred during the construction period for major asset additions are capitalized. The Company capitalized $0 interest costs during the year ended December 31, 2022, and $18.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively. Expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing plant and equipment or increase the productivity of the asset are capitalized. The cost of maintenance and repairs that do not extend the useful life or increase the productivity of the asset is expensed as incurred. Preparation plants and loadouts are depreciated using the units-of-production method over the estimated recoverable reserves, subject to a minimum level of depreciation. Other plant and equipment are depreciated principally using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, limited by the remaining life of the mine. The useful lives of mining equipment, including longwalls, draglines and shovels, range from 1 to 16 years. The useful lives of buildings and leasehold improvements generally range from 3 to 20 years. Deferred Mine Development Costs of developing new mines or significantly expanding the capacity of existing mines are capitalized and amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated recoverable reserves that are associated with the property being benefited. Costs may include construction permits and licenses; mine design; construction of access roads, shafts, slopes and main entries; and removing overburden to access reserves in a new pit. Additionally, deferred mine development includes the asset cost associated with asset retirement obligations. Coal sales revenue related to incidental production during the development phase is recorded as coal sales revenue with an offset to cost of coal sales based on the estimated cost per ton sold for the mine when the asset is in place for its intended use. Coal Lands and Mineral Rights Rights to coal reserves may be acquired directly through governmental or private entities. A significant portion of the Company’s coal reserves are controlled through leasing arrangements. Lease agreements are generally long-term in nature (original terms range from 10 to 50 years), and substantially all of the leases contain provisions that allow for automatic extension of the lease term providing certain requirements are met. Leases of mineral reserves and related land leases are exempt from the provisions of the leasing standard. The net book value of the Company’s coal interests was $239.4 million and $259.8 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Payments to acquire royalty lease agreements and lease bonus payments are capitalized as a cost of the underlying mineral reserves and depleted over the life of proven and probable reserves. Coal lease rights are depleted using the units-of-production method, and the rights are assumed to have no residual value. The Company currently does not have any future lease bonus payments. Depreciation, depletion and amortization The depreciation, depletion and amortization related to long-lived assets is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a separate line item. No depreciation, depletion or amortization are included in any other operating cost categories. Impairment If facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying value of a long-lived asset or asset group may not be recoverable, the asset or asset group is reviewed for potential impairment. If this review indicates that the carrying amount of the asset will not be recoverable through projected undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset and its related asset group over its remaining life, then an impairment loss is recognized by reducing the carrying value of the asset to its fair value. The Company may, under certain circumstances, idle mining operations in response to market conditions or other factors. Because an idling is not a permanent closure, it is not considered an automatic indicator of impairment. For information on Impairment, see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Asset impairment and restructuring.” |
Deferred Financing Costs | Deferred Financing Costs The Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with new borrowings, the establishment or enhancement of credit facilities and the issuance of debt securities. These costs are amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the life of the borrowing or term of the credit facility using the effective interest method. Debt issuance costs related to a recognized liability are presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of that liability whereas debt issuance costs related to a credit facility with no balance outstanding are shown as an asset. The unamortized balance of deferred financing costs shown as an asset was $1.6 million at December 31, 2022, with $0.6 million classified as current; the unamortized balance of deferred financing costs shown as an asset at December 31, 2021 was $1.2 million with $0.7 million classified as current. The current amounts are classified within “Other current assets” and the noncurrent amounts are classified within “Other noncurrent assets.” For information on the unamortized balance of deferred financing fees related to outstanding debt, see Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Debt and Financing Arrangements.” |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Revenues include sales to customers of coal produced at Company operations and coal purchased from third parties. The Company recognizes revenue at the time risk of loss passes to the customer at contracted amounts. Transportation costs are included in cost of sales and amounts billed by the Company to its customers for transportation are included in revenues. Control of the goods may transfer and revenue may be recognized before, during or subsequent to the period in which final average pricing is determined. For all metallurgical coal sales under average pricing contracts where pricing is not finalized when revenue is recognized, revenue is recorded based on estimated consideration to be received at the date of the sale with reference to metallurgical coal price assessments. |
Other Operating Loss (Income), net | Other Operating Expense (Income), net Other operating expense (income), net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations reflects income and expense from sources other than physical coal sales, including: contract settlements; royalties earned from properties leased to third parties; income from equity investments (Note 10, “Equity Method Investments and Membership Interests in Joint Ventures”); non-material gains and losses from divestitures and dispositions of assets; and realized gains and losses on derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting and are not held for trading purposes (Note 11, “Derivatives”); and land management expenses. |
Asset Retirement Obligations | Asset Retirement Obligations The Company’s legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets are recognized at fair value at the time the obligations are incurred. Accretion expense is recognized through the expected settlement date of the obligation. Obligations are incurred at the time development of a mine commences for underground and surface mines or construction begins for support facilities, refuse areas and slurry ponds. The obligation’s fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow technique and is based upon permit requirements and various estimates and assumptions that would be used by market participants, including estimates of disturbed acreage, reclamation costs and assumptions regarding equipment productivity. Upon initial recognition of a liability, a corresponding amount is capitalized as a component of the carrying value of the related long-lived asset. The Company reviews its asset retirement obligation at least annually and makes necessary adjustments for permit changes as granted by state authorities and for revisions of estimates of the amount and timing of costs. For ongoing operations, adjustments to the liability result in an adjustment to the corresponding asset. For idle operations, adjustments to the liability are recognized as income or expense in the period the adjustment is recorded. Any difference between the recorded obligation and the actual cost of reclamation is recorded in profit or loss in the period the obligation is settled. See additional discussion in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Asset Retirement Obligations.” |
Loss Contingencies | Loss Contingencies The Company accrues for cost related to contingencies when a loss is probable and the amount is reasonably determinable. Disclosure of contingencies is included in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss or an additional material loss in excess of amounts already accrued may be incurred. The amount accrued represents the Company’s best estimate of the loss, or, if no best estimate within a range of outcomes exists, the minimum amount in the range. |
Derivative Instruments | Derivative Instruments The Company generally utilizes derivative instruments to manage exposures to commodity prices and interest rate risk on long-term debt. Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. Certain coal contracts may meet the definition of a derivative instrument, but because they provide for the physical purchase or sale of coal in quantities expected to be used or sold by the Company over a reasonable period in the normal course of business, they are not recognized on the balance sheet. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Derivatives” for further disclosures related to the Company’s derivative instruments. |
Fair Value | Fair Value Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly hypothetical transaction between market participants at a given measurement date. Valuation techniques used must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Fair Value Measurements” for further disclosures related to the Company’s recurring fair value estimates. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences arising from differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities existing at each balance sheet date using enacted tax rates anticipated to be in effect when the related taxes are expected to be paid or recovered. A valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Management reassesses the ability to realize its deferred tax assets annually in the fourth quarter or when circumstances indicate that the ability to realize deferred tax assets has changed. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers projected realization of tax benefits based on expected levels of future taxable income, available tax planning strategies and the reversal of temporary differences. Benefits from tax positions that are uncertain are not recognized unless the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained in a dispute with taxing authorities, should the dispute be taken to the court of last resort. The Company would measure any such benefit at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with taxing authorities. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Taxes” for further disclosures about income taxes. |
Benefit Plans | Benefit Plans The Company has non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering most of its salaried and hourly employees. On January 1, 2015 the Company’s cash balance and excess pension plans were amended to freeze new service credits for any new or active employees. The Company also currently provides certain postretirement medical and life insurance coverage for eligible employees. The cost of providing these benefits is determined on an actuarial basis and accrued over the employees’ period of active service. The Company recognizes the overfunded or underfunded status of these plans as determined on an actuarial basis on the balance sheet and the changes in the funded status are recognized in other comprehensive income. The Company amortizes actuarial gains and losses over the remaining service attribution periods of the employees using the corridor method. See Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Employee Benefit Plans” for additional disclosures relating to these obligations. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The compensation cost of all stock-based awards is determined based on the grant-date fair value of the award, and is recognized over the requisite service period. The grant-date fair value of restricted stock awards with a market condition is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. Compensation cost for an award with performance conditions is accrued if it is probable that the conditions will be met. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. See further discussion in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Stock-Based Compensation and Other Incentive Plans.” |
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance | Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 , convertible debt instruments. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share calculation for convertible instruments by requiring the use of the if-converted method. The if-converted method assumes the conversion of convertible instruments occurs at the beginning of the reporting period and diluted weighted average shares outstanding includes the common shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public business entities, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 under the modified retrospective approach. Upon issuance of the Company's $155.3 million principal amount of 5.25% convertible senior notes due 2025 (the "Convertible Notes" or “Convertible Debt”) in November 2020, the Company bifurcated the debt and equity components of the Convertible Notes to long-term debt and additional paid-in capital in its consolidated balance sheet. The amount recorded to additional paid-in capital represented a debt discount that was being amortized to interest expense over the life of the Convertible Notes. As part of the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the Company (i) reversed the equity component recorded to additional paid-in capital of $39.2 million, (ii) recorded a cumulative effect of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 of $6.7 million to retained earnings, representing a reversal of the debt discount that was amortized to interest expense, and (iii) an offsetting increase in debt. See Additionally, upon adoption of ASU 2020-06, the treasury stock method utilized by the Company to calculate earnings per share through December 31, 2021 is no longer permitted. Accordingly, the Company has transitioned to the if-converted method utilizing the modified retrospective approach. For the year ended December 31, 2022, under the previous treasury stock method, the diluted earnings per share would have been approximately $65.28 . As a result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06, diluted earnings per share decreased by Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance Not Yet Effective There are no new pronouncements issued but not yet effective expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. |
