- Corsa's average realized price for the fourth quarter 2023 is the approximate equivalent of between $288 to $300 per metric ton on an FOB vessel basis(2). For the fourth quarter 2023, Corsa's sales mix included 62% of sales to domestic customers and 38% of sales to international customers.
(1) | 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-$55 per short ton. Historically, freight rates are attached to the coal market indices and will adjust as market prices rise and fall. Further adjustments include a vessel freight differential and quality adjustments necessary to evaluate Corsa's price compared to Australian premium low volatile metallurgical coal. As a note, most published indices for metallurgical coal report prices on a delivered-to-the-port basis denominated in metric tons. |
Kevin M. Harrigan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Corsa, commented, "Corsa's 2023 full year net income of $23.6 million was the highest since 2017 and our 2023 adjusted EBITDA of $28.1 million was the highest since 2019. Although we were disappointed by our coal production and cash production costs in the fourth quarter of 2023, our full year cash production costs per ton sold decreased from 2022 levels and we are committed to further reductions in 2024."
"The fourth quarter of 2023 proved to be another challenging quarter operationally at two of the Company's underground mines. As a result of adverse geological conditions at the Horning mine, an unplanned section move was made in order to relocate mining activities to an area of the mine where conditions are more conducive to higher coal production. The section move led to short-term production inefficiencies and also changed the access point to the eastern part of the reserves. The Acosta mine's main development section encountered low coal heights. Out of seam rock had to be mined in order to create adequate height for access which required additional time and negatively impacted the production of coal while slowing the advance of the section. Equipment availability declined due to the wear and tear that mining of the rock had on the machinery. The above noted factors led to an increase in both production and maintenance costs. Based on current mining plans, the Company recognizes that short-term inefficiencies related to geologic conditions and development activities are expected to occur for a short period of time in 2024, as mining conditions have improved in early March. Our operational and engineering teams are focused on advancing beyond these challenges as safely and quickly as possible to areas where we expect conditions will result in improved operational performance and lower costs."
"The Company's surface mining operations achieved their expected results in the fourth quarter and overburden removal is on pace for the return of the highwall mining machine in the first quarter of 2024. The combination of traditional surface and highwall mining should increase our production and lower costs. I am pleased that we are now in a mining sequence at the surface operations that should achieve more repeatable results."
"The Company's focus is on productivity improvements and cost control in order to manage metallurgical coal margins in the face of lower expected realized pricing in the 2024 period, as the average price for committed and priced tons to date for 2024 are approximately 13% lower than 2023 realized prices. We continue our efforts to attract, train and retain miners for our underground operations knowing that our productivity and profitability are tied to having fully staffed and experienced teams throughout our operations."

Coal Pricing Trends and Outlook
Price levels opened the fourth quarter 2023 at $333.00/metric ton ("mt") delivered-to-the-port ("FOBT") for spot deliveries of Australian premium low volatile metallurgical coal and closed the quarter at $342.50/mt FOBT. The quarterly average price for the fourth quarter 2023 was $333.26/mt FOBT compared to $263.07/mt FOBT in the third quarter 2023 and traded in a range from a high of $367.00/mt FOBT to a low of $297.50/mt FOBT.
The price for spot deliveries of Australian premium low volatile metallurgical coal opened the first quarter 2024 at $323.75/mt FOBT and was trading at $313.75/mt FOBT in late February, with a high price of $338.10/mt FOBT, a low price of $312.00/mt FOBT and averaged $324.43/mt FOBT since the beginning of the year. Forward curve pricing for the balance of 2024 is trading at an average of $295.82/mt FOBT, with the first quarter of 2024 at a high of $313.00/mt FOBT and the fourth quarter of 2024 at a low of $290.00/mt FOBT. Through late February, first quarter 2024, hot-rolled steel coil prices decreased in the United States by 21.8% and China by 1.7% and increased in Europe 3.6%. The forward curve for 2025 indicates full year pricing at $286.00/mt FOBT. Average metallurgical coal prices remain above historical levels supported by a limited supply-side response, supply chain logistics constraints, and continued worldwide growth in steel production and demand for finished steel products.
See "Risk Factors" in the Company's annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2023 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 2024 Update
The Company's first quarter 2024 sales volumes are expected to be higher than the fourth quarter of 2023, but lower than historical averages. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, the first quarter of 2024 is forecasted to have higher production from our deep mines, lower production from our surface mines and decreased purchases of third-party coals. Metallurgical coal selling prices are expected to be lower than the fourth quarter of 2023 due to contractual price decreases on domestic orders partially offset by higher realizations on export sales. Cash cost of sales is expected to be lower than in the previous quarter due to increased operating rates and improved mining conditions at our deep mines and decreased purchased coal costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to be lower than the fourth quarter of 2023 and comparable to the average of the first three quarters of 2023. 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.
For calendar year 2024, Corsa has to date committed sales of over 940,000 tons. Committed and priced sales are over 775,000 tons at an FOB mine price of nearly $148/ton. The price per ton is the equivalent of $264/mt FOBT for Australian premium low volatile metallurgical coal.
Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis
Refer to Corsa's audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and related management's discussion and analysis, filed under Corsa's profile on www.sedarplus.ca, 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.
