Cloud Peak Energy Inc. (NYSE:CLD), one of the largest U.S. coal
producers and the only pure-play Powder River Basin (PRB) coal company,
today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year 2011.

2011 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Highlights


  • Record Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $351.7 million for the full
    year 2011 compared with $322.7 million for 2010; Adjusted EBITDA of
    $92.9 million in the fourth quarter 2011 compared with $69.6 million
    in the fourth quarter 2010.

  • Record annual shipments of 95.6 million tons from our three operated
    mines.

  • Unrestricted cash and investments increased to $479.5 million as we
    generated $296.8 million in cash from operations for the full year
    2011 and released $111.0 million from previously restricted cash.
    During the fourth quarter, we generated cash from operations of $84.3
    million.

  • 2011 net income of $189.8 million resulting in Adjusted EPS(1)
    of $2.47. Fourth quarter 2011 net income of $43.8 million and Adjusted
    EPS of $0.70. Diluted fourth quarter 2011 EPS of $0.72 compared to
    $0.36 in the fourth quarter 2010; diluted full year 2011 EPS of $3.13
    compared to $1.06 in full year 2010.

  • Asian exports were up approximately 27 percent in the fourth quarter
    2011 to 1.0 million tons from 0.8 million tons in the fourth quarter
    2010. For the full year, Asian exports were 4.7 million tons, up 42
    percent from 3.3 million tons in the full year 2010.

  • Proven and probable reserves increased to 1.37 billion tons at
    December 31, 2011, up from 970 million tons at year end 2010 due to
    the successful acquisition of coal leases at the Antelope mine in

Shipments in the fourth quarter 2011 were up 8 percent over the fourth
quarter 2010 due to strong operating performance, solid customer demand,
and reliable rail service out of the Powder River Basin (PRB). Shipments
for the full year 2011 were up 2 percent over 2010. The higher demand
for our coal was primarily a result of our strong Asian export business.
Full year Asian exports increased 42 percent to 4.7 million tons, up
from 3.3 million tons in 2010.


Adjusted EBITDA for 2011 rose 9 percent to a record $351.7 million, up
from $322.7 million in 2010, driven by higher export sales, increased
realized prices and tight cost controls. The average price realized for
a ton of coal in 2011 was up 4.9 percent to $12.92 from $12.32 in 2010.
Our average cost per ton was $9.12 in 2011, up from $8.57 in 2010 driven
primarily by higher diesel prices throughout the year. The 2011 full
year operating margin was $3.80 per ton, up slightly from $3.75 per ton
for full year 2010.


Net income for 2011 was $189.8 million up from $117.2 million in 2010.
This increase was due to strong Asian export demand and an increase in
realized domestic prices.

Health, Safety and Environment Record


During 2011, of our nearly 1,400 full-time mine site employees, 17
suffered minor reportable injuries resulting in a MSHA All Injury
Frequency Rate of 1.18, an increase over the full year 2010 rate of
0.58. During 109 MSHA inspector days in 2011, we were issued 11
substantial and significant (S&S) citations, all of which have been
satisfactorily resolved and resulted in total proposed fines of $8,234.
'Our 2011 safety performance was disappointing given the very low injury
rates achieved in 2009 and 2010. Thankfully the injuries that were
incurred were relatively minor. We are all focused on reducing the
number of injuries in 2012,? said Marshall.

Reserves


The addition of the West Antelope II coal leases increased our year end
proven and probable reserves to 1.37 billion tons, up from 970 million
tons at the end of 2010. These leases increased our overall reserves by
40 percent. The West Antelope II reserves contain some of the lowest
sulfur and highest energy coal in the southern PRB, which is
particularly well suited to help utilities meet proposed EPA emissions
regulations. As previously disclosed, the West Antelope II leases are
subject to pending legal challenges against the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) and the Secretary of the Interior by environmental
organizations. The Maysdorf II lease, which includes tracts we nominated
adjacent to our Cordero Rojo mine, is expected to be scheduled by the
BLM for lease in late 2012 or early 2013.

Operations


Our operations performed well during 2011 in spite of a wet spring,
which made conditions at the mines difficult, and extensive Midwestern
flooding, which impacted U.S. rail capacity during the second and third
quarters. During the period of reduced train shipments, the mines
focused on reclamation and overburden removal, which allowed the
increase in shipments in the fourth quarter when more trains were
available. Our continuing efforts to improve operational efficiency and
maintenance practices resulted in full year 2011 costs of $9.12 per ton,
at the low end of our guidance range. For 2012, the operations are well
placed as several major maintenance jobs were completed on draglines and
shovels and two additional shovels were added to our fleet.

Exports


Full year 2011 Asian exports of 4.7 million tons were up 42 percent from
2010 as we were able to opportunistically increase our exports through
the Westshore terminal and ship 0.7 million lower margin tons through
the Ridley terminal. We currently plan to ship approximately four
million tons through Westshore and approximately 0.3 million tons
through Ridley in 2012. However, the anticipated capacity expansion work
and resulting downtime at Westshore could impact planned shipments in
2012; we are working closely with Westshore to minimize any disruption.
As usual, we will look for opportunities to increase our 2012 exports if
terminal capacity becomes available and market conditions are
supportive. We currently have no additional shipments planned through
the Ridley terminal as prevailing international prices and the long
multi-line rail haul make new sales uneconomic. If market conditions
improve, we will evaluate opportunities for more sales through the
Ridley terminal. Additionally, we shipped limited tonnage through the
Great Lakes and through the Gulf of Mexico to customers in Europe during
2011. We will continue to evaluate additional opportunities throughout
2012.


During the fourth quarter, we entered a multi-year agreement with an
established Korean representative as part of our long-term plan to build
on our strong Asian export position. On an exclusive basis, the
representative will provide us with key marketing and consulting
services relating to sales to customers in South Korea. This agreement
replaces our earlier engagement of Rio Tinto for marketing services
relating to Asian exports.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow


Cash flow from operations totaled $84.3 million for the fourth quarter
of 2011 compared to $63.9 million for the fourth quarter 2010. Capital
expenditures (excluding capitalized interest) were $26.7 million for the
fourth quarter 2011 compared to $27.9 million for fourth quarter 2010.
Cash flow from operations was $296.8 million for 2011 down from $324.8
million for full year 2010. Capital expenditures were $142.7 million for
the full year 2011 (including $34 million of capitalized interest)
compared to $91.6 million for the full year 2010, (including $27 million
of capitalized interest). In addition, coal lease payments of $133.2
million were made in 2011. This was up from $63.8 million in 2010 due to
the first payments on the West Antelope leases.


Unrestricted cash and investments as of December 31, 2011 were $479.5
million, up from $340 million at December 31, 2010. 'Supported by our
continued strong operational performance, we were able to secure
reductions in collateral requirements from almost all of our surety bond
providers, thereby releasing $111.0 million of restricted cash during
2011,? said Michael Barrett, Chief Financial Officer. 'Our total
available liquidity as of December 31, 2011 was $969 million, up 33
percent from the $730 million year end 2010 level.?

Outlook


While the current near-term outlook for the domestic coal markets is
uncertain, we believe Cloud Peak Energy is well placed for 2012 and
2013. Consistent with our marketing strategy, we are entering 2012
substantially sold out for our planned production. We have also
contracted 73.3 million tons to be delivered in 2013. This approach
allows us to run our production, maintenance and procurement operations
more efficiently and safely, which helps to control costs and allows
time to focus on operational improvements. Our coal shipments for 2012
are expected to be between 92.5 million tons and 96.5 million tons. For
2012, we have currently contracted to sell 94.3 million tons, of which
88.9 million tons are under fixed-price contracts with a
weighted-average price of $13.47 per ton. Assuming constant prices of
$10.00 per ton for 8800 Btu quality coal and $9.00 per ton for 8400 Btu
quality coal on our indexed tons, the expected total realized price for
2012 would be approximately $13.27 per ton. For 2013, we have currently
contracted to sell 73.3 million tons from our three company-operated
mines. Of this committed 2013 production, 58.3 million tons are under
fixed-price contracts with a weighted-average price of $14.27 per ton.
During the last quarter of 2011, we chose not to contract many tons as
uncertainty over EPA regulations and depressed natural gas prices
reduced coal prices significantly.


The current exceptionally mild winter has dramatically decreased demand
for electricity: since October 2011, heating degree days are down by 17
percent compared to normal, and electricity demand is estimated to be
down by 3.3 percent. This lack of demand is a major factor behind the
current low near-term gas and coal prices. Unless there is a dramatic
cold snap, these conditions are expected to persist until the summer.
However, due to the current low snow pack, 2012 hydro-electric
generation is likely to be significantly below the high 2011 levels
through the summer. Assuming a normal summer cooling season restores
electricity demand, gas prices and coal prices are expected to increase
later in the year, only then will it be possible to gauge the impact of
increased natural gas production on coal prices and demand.


The announcement of the EPA′s Cross State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) and
then its subsequent stay by the federal court, together with the EPA′s
Mercury and Air Toxics Standard (MATS) rule, has caused uncertainty
regarding how and when power plants will meet the necessary regulatory
requirements. In turn, this is causing uncertainty as utilities consider
their fuel alternatives and demand for coal. The low natural gas prices
and environmental regulations appear to be impacting demand for higher
cost coal from basins outside of the PRB most significantly. As the
lowest cost major basin in the U.S. producing some of the lowest sulfur
coal, we believe that demand for PRB coal will remain resilient despite
the current uncertainties.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures


This release and our related presentation include the non-GAAP financial
measures of (1) Adjusted EBITDA and (2) Adjusted Earnings Per Share
('Adjusted EPS?). Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are intended to
provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning
prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., or
GAAP. A quantitative reconciliation of historical net income to Adjusted
EBITDA and EPS (as defined below) to Adjusted EPS is found in the tables
accompanying this release.


EBITDA represents net income, or income from continuing operations, as
applicable, before (1) interest income (expense) net, (2) income tax
provision, (3) depreciation and depletion, (4) amortization, and (5)
accretion. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted to
exclude specifically identified items that management believes do not
directly reflect our core operations. The specifically identified items
are the income statement impacts, as applicable, of: (1) the Tax
Receivable Agreement including tax impacts of our 2009 initial public
offering and 2010 secondary offering, (2) our significant broker
contract that expired in the first quarter of 2010, and (3)
marked-to-market adjustments for derivative financial instruments.
Because of the inherent uncertainty related to the items identified
above, management does not believe it is able to provide a meaningful
forecast of the comparable GAAP measures or a reconciliation to any
forecasted GAAP measures.


Adjusted EPS represents diluted earnings (loss) per common share
attributable to controlling interest, or diluted earnings (loss) per
common share attributable to controlling interest from continuing
operations, as applicable ('EPS?), adjusted to exclude the estimated per
share impact of the same specifically identified items used to calculate
Adjusted EBITDA and described above.


Adjusted EBITDA is an additional tool intended to assist our management
in comparing our performance on a consistent basis for purposes of
business decision-making by removing the impact of certain items that
management believes do not directly reflect our core operations.
Adjusted EBITDA is a metric intended to assist management in evaluating
operating performance, comparing performance across periods, planning
and forecasting future business operations and helping determine levels
of operating and capital investments. Period-to-period comparisons of
Adjusted EBITDA are intended to help our management identify and assess
additional trends potentially impacting our company that may not be
shown solely by period-to-period comparisons of net income or income
from continuing operations. Adjusted EBITDA is also used as part of our
incentive compensation program for our executive officers and others.


We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are also useful to
investors, analysts and other external users of our consolidated
financial statements in evaluating our operating performance from period
to period and comparing our performance to similar operating results of
other relevant companies. Adjusted EBITDA allows investors to measure a
company′s operating performance without regard to items such as interest
expense, taxes, depreciation and depletion, amortization and accretion
and other specifically identified items that are not considered to
directly reflect our core operations. Similarly, we believe our use of
Adjusted EPS provides an appropriate measure to use in assessing our
performance across periods given that this measure provides an
adjustment for certain specifically identified significant items that
are not considered to directly reflect our core operations, the
magnitude of which may vary drastically from period to period and,
thereby, have a disproportionate effect on the earnings per share
reported for a given period.


Our management recognizes that using Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS as
performance measures has inherent limitations as compared to net income,
income from continuing operations, EPS or other GAAP financial measures,
as these non-GAAP measures exclude certain items, including items that
are recurring in nature, which may be meaningful to investors. Adjusted
EBITDA and Adjusted EPS should not be considered in isolation and do not
purport to be alternatives to net income, income from continuing
operations, EPS or other GAAP financial measures as a measure of our
operating performance. Because not all companies use identical
calculations, our presentations of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS may
not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
Moreover, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is different than EBITDA
as defined in our debt financing agreements.

In conjunction with preparing our 2011 consolidated financial
statements, we identified a clerical error in the computation of
the 2010 weighted average shares outstanding which resulted in an
understatement of earnings per share and Adjusted EPS for the
three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2010. The
previously reported earnings per share balances for the three
months and twelve months ended December 31, 2010 of $0.28 and
$0.98, respectively, have been corrected to $0.36 and $1.06,
respectively. The previously reported Adjusted EPS balances for
the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2010 of
$0.29 and $1.62, respectively, have been corrected to $0.36 and
$1.74, respectively. This clerical error overstated the weighted
average shares outstanding balances, both basic and diluted, for
each of these periods due to the inclusion of the 60,000,000
post-Secondary Offering shares outstanding from November 15, 2010
as opposed to the correct date of December 15, 2010. The
previously reported weighted average share outstanding balances
for the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2010 of
45.3 million shares and 34.3 million shares, respectively, have
been corrected to 35.7 million shares and 31.9 million shares,
respectively. We have assessed the impact of these adjustments and
determined that the error is immaterial to our 2010 consolidated
financial statements and does not affect our 2011 consolidated
financial statements.
