  • Corsa's average realized price for the fourth quarter 2022 is the approximate equivalent of between $218 to $223 per metric ton on an FOB vessel basis(2). For the fourth quarter 2022, Corsa's sales mix included 62% of sales to domestic customers and 38% of sales to international customers.

This is a non-GAAP financial measure.  See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

(2) 

Similar to most U.S. metallurgical coal producers, Corsa reports sales and costs per ton on an FOB mine site basis and denominated in short tons.  Many international metallurgical coal producers report prices and costs on a delivered-to-the-port basis (or "FOB vessel basis"), thereby including freight costs between the mine and the port.  Additionally, Corsa reports sales and costs per short ton, which is approximately 10% lower than a metric ton.  For the purposes of this figure, we have used an illustrative freight rate of $45-$50 per short ton.  Historically, freight rates rise and fall as market prices rise and fall.  As a note, most published indices for metallurgical coal report prices on a delivered-to-the-port basis and denominated in metric tons.


Kevin M. Harrigan, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of Corsa, commented, "The 2022 calendar year was one of the most difficult ever for Corsa with numerous operational and employee resource challenges that started at the outset of the year and continued into the fourth quarter.  We are proud to say, based on the hard work and dedication of our employees, that we believe each of the mines are positioned to be more productive with lower costs in the coming year reflecting improved geological conditions, additional mining personnel and an increasingly experienced workforce.  To date we have experienced improved operational performance with our mines producing over 240,000 tons in the first quarter 2023, our best production quarter since the third quarter 2021, and expect the mining conditions to be favorable compared to the 2022 performance."

"The Company is pleased with the final resolution of the U.S. Department of Justice investigation, where no charges were brought against the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any current employees, and is looking forward to now focusing on the future of the Company.  We remain committed to the highest standards of integrity and as we conduct our business with uncompromising ethics and a steadfast focus on legal compliance.  Additionally, a negotiated amendment to the Company's credit facility with KeyBank National Association resulted in increased flexibility to achieve the financial covenants of the loan and provides additional runway as we focus on improving Corsa's financial performance."

"Our Company recognizes that our employees are our biggest resource and we will continue to focus on our team through additional hiring, increased training and driving retention.  We look forward to the coming year with a renewed sense of optimism as we expect increased operations at our deep and surface mines that deliver improved results for our employees and our shareholders."

Coal Pricing Trends and Outlook

Price levels opened the fourth quarter 2022 at $270.50/metric ton ("mt") delivered-to-the-port ("FOBT") for spot deliveries of Australian premium low volatile metallurgical coal and closed the quarter at $294.50/mt FOBT. The quarterly average price for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $282.39/mt FOBT for Australian premium low volatile metallurgical coal, compared to $249.17/mt FOBT in the third quarter of 2022, and traded in a range from a high of $350.50/mt FOBT to a low of $245.25/mt FOBT.

The forward curve pricing for the balance of 2023, according to the SGX TSI index, is trading at an average of $300.00/mt FOBT with the second quarter at a high of $309.00/mt FOBT and the fourth quarter at a low of $292.00/mt FOBT.  The forward curve for 2024 is indicating pricing at an average of $287.84/mt FOBT. Increased global steel demand and high levels of global steel production are driving the demand and supporting higher prices for metallurgical coal. Limited supply-side response, constrained logistics and inflationary mining cost pressures continue to support high metallurgical coal prices in the near future.

See "Risk Factors" in the Company's annual information form dated April 13, 2023 for the year ended December 31, 2022 for an additional discussion regarding certain factors that could impact coal pricing trends and outlook, as well as the Company's ongoing operations.

First Quarter 2023 Update

The Company's first quarter 2023 sales volumes are expected to be higher than the fourth quarter of 2022 and in-line with historical levels.  Metallurgical coal selling prices are expected to be meaningfully higher than the fourth quarter of 2022 as we recognize the higher sales prices of our 2023 fixed price contracts and increase our participation in the metallurgical coal spot market.  Cash cost of sales are expected to be lower than the previous quarter as mining conditions and efficiencies are improved but will remain elevated compared to historical levels.  Selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to be lower than the fourth quarter 2022 and will be similar to the average amount from the first three quarters of 2022. The main priorities of the Company are increasing efficient production, reducing costs, and increasing our ability to participate in the metallurgical coal spot market.  We are committed to improving the Company's balance sheet with minimized downside financial risk but are also focused on organic growth opportunities to complement our existing operations. The Company's capital allocation and deployment strategy will be aligned with these priorities and the Company's financial position.

Corsa committed over 900,000 tons at an FOB mine price of nearly $179/ton for the calendar year 2023.  The price per ton is the equivalent of $287/mt FOBT for Australian premium low volatile metallurgical coal.  The volumes and price per ton were impacted by nearly 153,000 carryover tons which were priced at the 2022 fixed price contract rate.

Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis

Refer to Corsa's audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and related management's discussion and analysis, filed under Corsa's profile on www.sedar.com, for details of the financial performance of Corsa and the matters referred to in this news release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Corsa uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to measure its performance internally and to assist in business decision-making as well as providing key performance information to senior management.  These measures are not recognized under International Financial Reporting Standards ("GAAP").  Corsa believes that, in addition to the conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, certain investors and other stakeholders also use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate Corsa's operating and financial performance; however, these non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.  Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. 

Management uses the following non-GAAP financial measures:

  • EBITDA - earnings before deductions for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization;
  • Adjusted EBITDA - EBITDA adjusted for change in estimate of reclamation and water treatment provision for non-operating properties, impairment and write-off of mineral properties and advance royalties, gain (loss) on sale of assets and other costs, stock-based compensation, non-cash finance expenses and other non-cash adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and by external users of our financial statements to assess our performance as compared to the performance of other companies in the coal industry, without regard to financing methods, historical cost basis or capital structure; the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow; and our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures;
  • Realized price per ton sold - revenue from coal sales less transportation costs from the mine site to the loading terminal divided by tons of coal sold. Management evaluates our operations based on the volume of coal we can safely produce or purchase and sell in compliance with regulatory standards, and the prices we receive for our coal. Our sales volume and sales prices are largely dependent upon the terms of our contracts, for which prices generally are set based on an index. We evaluate the price we receive for our coal on an average realized price on an FOB mine site per short ton basis;
  • Cash production cost per ton sold - cash production costs of sales excluding purchased coal costs, all included within cost of sales, divided by tons of produced coal sold. Cash production cost is based on cost of sales and includes items such as manpower, royalties, fuel, and other similar production related items, pursuant to IFRS, but relate directly to the costs incurred to produce coal and sell it on an FOB mine site basis. Cash production cost per ton sold is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and by external users to assess our operating performance as compared to the operating performance of other companies in the coal industry. Purchased coal is excluded as the purchased coal costs are based on market prices of coal purchased and not the cost to produce the coal;
  • Cash cost purchased coal per ton sold - purchased coal costs divided by tons of purchased coal sold. Management uses this measure to assess coal purchases against the market price at which this coal will be sold;
  • Cash cost per ton sold - cash production costs of sales, included within cost of sales, divided by total tons sold. Management uses cash cost per ton sold to assess our overall financial performance on a per ton basis to include the Company's production and purchased coal cost in total; and
  • Cash margin per ton sold - calculated difference between realized price per ton sold and cash cost per ton sold. Cash margin per ton sold is used by management and external users to assess the operating performance as compared to the operating performance of other coal companies in the coal industry.

For a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures, see the tabular presentation at the end of this news release.
