James River Coal Company Reports Third Quarter 2012 Operating Results

07.11.2012  |  PR Newswire

RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- James River Coal Company (NASDAQ: JRCC), today announced that it had net loss of $20.6 million or $0.59 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2012 and net loss of $62.0 million or $1.78 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  Included in the third quarter results is a gain of $22.2 million from the repurchase of outstanding notes in open market purchases.  The 2012 results are compared to net loss of $3.7 million or $.11 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2011 and net loss of $10.5 million or $0.33 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Peter T. Socha, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented: "We are very pleased to have the uncertainty of the U.S. presidential election behind us.  We believe that this issue caused a temporary slowdown in economic growth both in the United States and globally.  The slowdown in growth, combined with warm weather last winter, has contributed to an unusually weak market for thermal and metallurgical coal.  Hopefully, this condition will be corrected shortly.

"Despite the soft coal markets, we continue to be pleased with the performance of our mine operations team.  They made a series of adjustments to their operating plans in response to the current markets. In the financial area, we decided to take the opportunity to reduce our debt at very advantageous market prices due to external events.  We believe that we were able to successfully balance our desire for a strong and liquid balance sheet with a window of opportunity that was available to us."

FINANCIAL RESULTS

The following tables show selected operating results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 (in 000's except per ton amounts).

JAMES RIVER COAL COMPANY

Reconciliation of Non GAAP Measures
(in thousands)
(unaudited)

EBITDA is used by management to measure operating performance.  We define EBITDA as net income or loss plus interest expense (net), income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA), to better measure our operating performance.  We regularly use EBITDA to evaluate our performance as compared to other companies in our industry that have different financing and capital structures and/or tax rates.  In addition, we use EBITDA in evaluating acquisition targets.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA as further adjusted for certain cash and non-cash charges as specified in our revolving credit facility and is used in several of the covenants in that facility.  Adjusted EBITDA plus acquisition costs further adjusts Adjusted EBITDA to add back certain non-recurring costs incurred in connection with the IRP acquisition that may not reflect the trend of future results.  We believe that Adjusted EBITDA plus acquisition cost presents a useful measure of our ability to service and incur debt on an ongoing basis. 

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA plus acquisition costs are not recognized terms under GAAP and are not an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of operating liquidity.  Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA plus acquisition costs may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.  Additionally, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA plus acquisition costs are not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management's discretionary use, as they do not reflect certain cash requirements such as tax payments, interest payments and other contractual obligations.
