Peabody Energy Corporation, a major player in the coal industry, is known for its production of coal used in energy and steel manufacturing, with a commitment to sustainability shaping its strategic direction.
In its latest earnings report for the third quarter of 2025, Peabody Energy announced a net loss of $70.1 million, attributed largely to costs related to a terminated acquisition. However, the company reported an adjusted EBITDA of $99.5 million, highlighting improved performance in several key segments.
Key financial highlights include a 14% increase in revenue from the previous quarter, driven by higher shipments in the Powder River Basin and better-than-expected seaborne thermal coal volumes. The company also benefited from lower metallurgical coal costs, marking the lowest in recent years. Peabody’s strategic initiatives, such as the development of the Centurion Mine and the PRB rare earth initiative, are progressing as planned, with the Centurion Mine on track for an accelerated startup in early 2026.
Despite the quarterly loss, Peabody maintains a strong liquidity position with over $950 million in total liquidity, supporting its resilience against market volatility. The company declared a $0.075 per share dividend, underscoring its commitment to returning value to shareholders.
Looking forward, Peabody is optimistic about its performance in the coming quarters, with strengthened targets for its seaborne and PRB segments. The anticipated commencement of longwall operations at the Centurion Mine is expected to enhance metallurgical coal volumes, positioning the company for improved financial outcomes in a stabilizing market environment.
