PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Peabody Energy
Corporation (the Company) and its affiliates. All intercompany transactions, profits and balances
have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2010 and for the
three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the notes thereto, are unaudited. However, in the
opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all normal, recurring adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the periods presented. The balance sheet
information as of December 31, 2009 has been derived from the Companys audited consolidated
balance sheet. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or for the year ending
December 31, 2010.
The Company classifies items within discontinued operations in the unaudited condensed
consolidated statements of operations when the operations and cash flows of a particular component
(defined as operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for
financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the entity) of the Company have been (or will be)
eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company as a result of a disposal transaction, and
the Company will no longer have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of that
component. See Note 3 for additional details related to discontinued operations.
Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current year
presentations with no effect on previously reported net income or stockholders equity.
(2) Newly Adopted Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued accounting guidance
that requires new fair value disclosures, including significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and
Level 2 fair-value measurements and a description of the reasons for the transfers. In addition,
the guidance requires new disclosures regarding activity in Level 3 fair value measurements,
including a gross basis reconciliation. The new disclosure requirements became effective for
interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2010, except for the disclosure of activity within
Level 3 fair value measurements, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2010 (January 1, 2011 for the Company). While the adoption of the guidance had an impact on the
Companys disclosures, it did not affect the Companys results of operations, financial condition
or cash flows. Further, the adoption of the gross presentation of Level 3 activity will also impact
the Companys disclosures, but will not affect its results of operations, financial condition or
cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance on consolidations which clarifies that the
determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other
things, an entitys purpose and design and a companys ability to direct the activities of the
entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance. The guidance also requires
an ongoing reassessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest
entity, and additional disclosures about a companys involvement in variable interest entities and
any associated changes in risk exposure. The guidance became effective January 1, 2010, at which
time there was no impact to the Companys results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
The Company will continue monitoring and assessing its business ventures in accordance with the
guidance.
In June 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance that seeks to improve the relevance,
representational faithfulness and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides
in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its
financial position, financial performance and cash flows; and a transferors continuing
involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. The guidance, which became January 1, 2010,
had an impact on the Companys disclosures, but did not affect the Companys results of operations,
financial condition or cash flows.
5
PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance which established general standards of accounting
for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial
statements are issued. The guidance was subsequently amended in February 2010. The new guidance no
longer requires Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filers to disclose the date through which
subsequent events have been evaluated. The adoption of the guidance, which was effective upon
issuance, did not have a material impact on the Companys results of operations, financial
condition or cash flows.
(3) Discontinued Operations
Revenues resulting from discontinued operations (including assets held for sale) were $27.6
million and $80.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Income
(loss) before income taxes reflects a loss of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31,
2010 and income of $54.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The income for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 relates primarily to a coal excise tax refund.
Total assets related to discontinued operations were $32.0 million and $40.6 million as of
March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Total liabilities associated with discontinued
operations were $33.8 million and $47.1 million as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009,
respectively.
See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Companys Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 for additional information regarding the Companys
discontinued operations.

The change in the deferred tax balances during the three months ended March 31, 2010 was
driven by utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and changes in the value of the Companys
cash flow hedges.
The Company and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recently completed an alternative dispute
resolution program (Fast Track Settlement) for two notices of proposed adjustments to decrease the
Companys net operating losses. A settlement agreement for the adjustment related to the
liquidation of an insolvent subsidiary was reached, but no agreement was reached for the adjustment
of interest income accrued by a foreign subsidiary. The Company will now begin the formal IRS
appeals process to resolve the remaining issue. The Company expects to reduce its net unrecognized
tax benefits by approximately $21 million within 12 months of this reporting date, subject to the
applicable IRS approval process.

Comprehensive income (loss) differs from net income by the amount of unrealized gain or loss
resulting from valuation changes of the Companys cash flow hedges (which include fuel and
explosives hedges, currency forwards, traded coal index contracts and interest rate swaps) and the
change in actuarial loss and prior service cost during the periods. The values of the Companys
cash flow hedging instruments are affected by changes in interest rates, crude oil, diesel fuel,
natural gas and coal prices and the U.S. dollar/Australian dollar exchange rate. The change in the
value of the cash flow hedges during 2010 was primarily due to the strengthening of the Australian
dollar against the U.S. dollar and higher commodity prices.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company made discretionary contributions of
approximately $16 million to its defined benefit pension plans. The Company expects to make
additional discretionary contributions to such plans of approximately $12 million during the
remainder of 2010, for a total of approximately $28 million.
In March 2010, President Obama signed into law comprehensive health care reform legislation
under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education
Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the Acts). Based on the Companys analyses to date, it does not
currently believe the Acts will result in a remeasurement of the Companys postretirement health
care liabilities, but will continue to assess the accounting implications of the Acts as related
regulations and interpretations of the Acts become available. The extent of the impact cannot be
actuarially determined until related regulations are promulgated and additional interpretations of
the Acts become available. Provisions within the Acts for which financial impacts to the Companys
postretirement health care liabilities are possible, but not currently determinable, include
application of the excise tax on high-cost employer coverage. The Company does not expect the other
provisions of the Acts to materially impact its postretirement health care liabilities or results
of operations. The Acts also impact active employees through various changes and/or expansions of
healthcare benefits and coverage. While the Company will continue to monitor and assess the effect
of the Acts on its active employee population, the Company cannot reasonably predict at this time
what the amount of any additional cost may be.
(10) Segment Information
The Company reports its operations primarily through the following reportable operating
segments: Western U.S. Mining, Midwestern U.S. Mining, Australian Mining, Trading and
Brokerage and Corporate and Other. The Companys chief operating decision maker uses Adjusted
EBITDA as the primary measure of segment profit and loss. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as
income from continuing operations before deducting net interest expense, income taxes, asset
retirement obligation expense and depreciation, depletion and amortization.

(11) Risk Management and Fair Value Measurements
Risk Management Non Coal Trading
The Company is exposed to various types of risk in the normal course of business, including
fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. These risks
are actively monitored in an effort to ensure compliance with the risk management policies of the
Company. In most cases, commodity price risk (excluding coal trading activities) related to the
sale of coal is mitigated through the use of long-term, fixed-price contracts rather than financial
instruments.

PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Interest Rate Swaps. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its fixed rate and
variable rate long-term debt. From time to time, the Company manages the interest rate risk
associated with the fair value of its fixed rate borrowings using fixed-to-floating interest rate
swaps to effectively convert a portion of the underlying cash flows on the debt into variable rate
cash flows. The Company designates these swaps as fair value hedges, with the objective of hedging
against changes in the fair value of the fixed rate debt that result from market interest rate
changes. The interest rate risk associated with the Companys variable rate borrowings is managed
using floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. The Company designates these swaps as cash flow
hedges, with the objective of reducing the variability of cash flows associated with market
interest rate changes. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had only one cash flow hedge in place.
Foreign Currency Hedges. The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk on
Australian dollar expenditures made in its Australian Mining segment. This risk is managed by
entering into forward contracts and options that the Company designates as cash flow hedges, with
the objective of reducing the variability of cash flows associated with forecasted Australian
dollar expenditures. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had only forward contracts in place.
Diesel Fuel and Explosives Hedges. The Company is exposed to commodity price risk associated
with diesel fuel in the U.S. and Australia and explosives in the U.S. Explosives costs and a
portion of the diesel fuel costs in Australia are included in the fees paid to the Companys
contract miners. This risk is managed through the use of fixed price contracts, cost plus
contracts and derivatives, primarily swaps. The Company has generally designated the swap contracts
as cash flow hedges, with the objective of reducing the variability of cash flows associated with
the forecasted purchase of diesel fuel and explosives.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Hedge Ineffectiveness. The Company assesses both at inception and at least quarterly
thereafter, whether the derivatives used in hedging activities are highly effective at offsetting
the changes in the anticipated cash flows of the hedged item. The effective portion of the change
in the fair value is recorded as a separate component of stockholders equity until the hedged
transaction impacts reported earnings, at which time gains and losses are reclassified to the
consolidated statements of operations at the time of the recognition of the underlying hedged item.
The ineffective portion of the derivatives change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated
statements of operations. In addition, if the hedging relationship ceases to be highly effective,
or it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, gains and
losses on the derivative are recorded to the consolidated statements of operations.
A measure of ineffectiveness is inherent in hedging future diesel fuel purchases with
derivative positions based on crude oil and refined petroleum products.
The Companys hedging of future explosives purchases also has an inherent measure of
ineffectiveness as the derivative positions are primarily based on natural gas which closely
matches the contractual purchase price of explosives since price changes occur in a constant ratio
of MMBtu per ton in the manufacture of explosives and generally carry a fixed surcharge.
With respect to the interest rate swaps, there was no hedge ineffectiveness recognized in the
unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended March 31,
2010 and 2009.
The tables below show the classification and amounts of pre-tax gains and losses related to

After netting, the fair values of the respective derivatives are reflected in Other
current assets, Investments and other assets, Accounts payable and accrued expenses, and
Other noncurrent liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company elected the trading exemption under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) for its coal trading transactions which allows for reduced disclosure since it is the
Companys policy to include these instruments as a part of its trading book. For further
information, see Risk Management Coal Trading below.
Risk Management Coal Trading
The Company engages in trading activities which include over-the-counter direct and brokered
trading of coal and the related ocean freight along with the related fuel commodities (coal
trading), some of which is subsequently exchange-cleared and some of which is bilaterally-cleared.
Except those for which the Company has elected to apply a normal purchases and normal sales
exception, derivative coal trading contracts are accounted for on a fair value basis. For
derivative trading contracts, the Company establishes fair values using bid/ask price quotations or
other market assessments obtained from multiple, independent third-party brokers to value its
trading positions from the over-the-counter market. Prices from these sources are then averaged to
obtain trading position values. While the Company does not anticipate any decrease in the number
of third-party brokers or market liquidity, such events could erode the quality of market
information and therefore in valuing its market positions should the number of third-party brokers
decrease or if market liquidity is reduced. For its exchange-cleared positions, the Company
utilizes exchange-published settlement prices. See Note 4 for information related to the maturity
and valuation of the Companys trading portfolio.

Trading revenues are recorded in Other revenues in the consolidated statements of
operations and include realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments,
including those under the normal purchases and normal sales exception.
Hedge Ineffectiveness. In some instances, the Company has designated an existing coal trading
derivative as a hedge and, thus, the derivative has a non-zero fair value at hedge inception. The
off-market nature of these derivatives, which is best described as an embedded financing element
within the derivative, is a source of ineffectiveness. In other instances, the Company uses a coal
trading derivative that settles at a different time or has a different location basis than the
occurrence of the cash flow being hedged. These collectively yield ineffectiveness to the extent
that the derivative hedge contract does not exactly offset changes in the fair value or expected
cash flows of the hedged item. The ineffective portion of the derivatives change in fair value is
recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.
Nonperformance and Credit Risk
The fair value of the Companys assets and liabilities reflects adjustments for nonperformance
and credit risk. The concentration of nonperformance and credit risk is substantially with electric
utilities, steel producers, energy producers and energy marketers. The Companys policy is to
independently evaluate each customers creditworthiness prior to entering into transactions and to
regularly monitor the credit extended. If the Company engages in a transaction with a counterparty
that does not meet its credit standards, the Company seeks to protect its position by requiring the
counterparty to provide an appropriate credit enhancement. Also, when appropriate (as determined
by its credit management function), the Company has taken steps to reduce its exposure to customers
or counterparties whose credit has deteriorated and who may pose a higher risk of failure to
perform under their contractual obligations. These steps include obtaining letters of credit or
cash collateral, requiring prepayments for shipments or the creation of customer trust accounts
held for the Companys benefit to serve as collateral in the event of a failure to pay or perform.
To reduce its credit exposure related to trading and brokerage activities, the Company seeks to
enter into netting agreements with counterparties that permit the Company to offset receivables and
payables with such counterparties and, to the extent required, will post or receive margin amounts
associated with exchange-cleared positions.
The Company conducts its various hedging activities related to foreign currency, interest
rate, and fuel and explosives exposures with a variety of highly-rated commercial banks. In light
of the recent turmoil in the financial markets the Company continues to closely monitor
counterparty creditworthiness.
Certain of the Companys derivative trading instruments require the parties to provide
additional performance assurances whenever a material adverse event jeopardizes one partys ability
to perform under the instrument. In the event the Company were to sustain a material adverse event
(using commercially reasonable standards), the counterparties could request collateralization on
derivative trading instruments in net liability positions which, based on an aggregate fair value
at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, could require the Company to post collateral of $55.8
million and $83.8 million, respectively, to its counterparties.
15
PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Certain of the Companys other derivative trading instruments require the parties to provide
additional performance assurances whenever a credit downgrade occurs below a certain level as
specified in each underlying contract. The terms of such derivative trading instruments typically
require additional collateralization, which is commensurate with the severity of the credit
downgrade. If a credit downgrade were to occur below contractually specified levels, the Companys
additional collateral requirements owed to its counterparties are estimated to be approximately $9
million at March 31, 2010 and approximately $16 million at December 31, 2009 based on the aggregate
fair value of all derivative trading instruments with such features that are in a net liability
position. No such collateral was posted at March 31, 2010 and $0.8 million was posted at December
31, 2009.
The Company is required to post collateral on its exchange-settled positions for its entire
net liability position, which was $14.6 million as of March 31, 2010 and $18.1 million as of
December 31, 2009. In addition, the Company had posted $19.1 million and $29.7 million of
collateral to meet the requirements of the respective exchanges at March 31, 2010 and December 31,
2009, respectively (reflected in Other current assets).
Fair Value Measurements
The Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that categorizes assets and liabilities
measured at fair value based on the observability of the inputs utilized in the valuation. These
levels include: Level 1, inputs are quoted prices in active markets for the identical assets or
liabilities; Level 2, inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are directly or
indirectly observable through market-corroborated inputs; and Level 3, inputs are unobservable, or
observable but cannot be market-corroborated, requiring the Company to make assumptions about
pricing by market participants.
The following tables set forth the hierarchy of the Companys net financial asset (liability)
positions for which fair value is measured on a recurring basis:

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
For Level 1 and 2 financial assets and liabilities, the Company utilizes both direct and
indirect observable price quotes, including LIBOR yield curves, New York Mercantile Exchange and
Intercontinental Exchange indices (ICE), broker quotes, published indices, and other market quotes.
Below is a summary of the Companys valuation techniques for Level 1 and 2 financial assets and
liabilities:
|
|
|
Commodity swaps and options coal trading activities: generally valued based on
unadjusted quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) or a valuation that is
corroborated by the use of market-based pricing (Level 2). |
|
|
|
|
Commodity swaps and options other than coal: generally valued based on a
valuation that is corroborated by the use of market-based pricing (Level 2). |
|
|
|
|
Physical commodity purchase/sale contracts coal trading activities: purchases and
sales at locations with significant market activity corroborated by market-based
information (Level 2). |
|
|
|
|
Interest rate swaps: valued based on modeling observable market data and
corroborated with statements from counterparties (Level 2). |
|
|
|
|
Foreign currency hedge contracts: valued utilizing inputs obtained in quoted public
markets (Level 2). |
Commodity swaps and options and physical commodity purchase/sale contracts transacted in less
liquid markets or contracts, such as long-term arrangements with limited price availability were
classified in Level 3. These instruments or contracts are valued based on quoted inputs from
brokers or counterparties, or reflect methodologies that consider historical relationships among
similar commodities to derive the Companys best estimate of fair value. The Company has
consistently applied these valuation techniques in all periods presented, and believes it has
obtained the most accurate information available for the types of derivative contracts held.
The Company did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three months
ended March 31, 2010. The Companys policy is to value all transfers between levels using the
beginning of period valuation. This represents a change in policy from those in effect at December
31, 2009. Previously, the end of the period values were used for transfers into Level 3 and
beginning of period values for transfers out of Level 3.

assets (liabilities):

Fair Value Other Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values for
other financial instruments as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009:
|
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, including
accounts receivable within the Companys securitization program, and accounts payable and accrued
expenses have carrying values which approximate fair value due to the short maturity
or the financial nature of these instruments. |
|
|
|
|
Long-term debt fair value estimates are based on observed prices for securities
with an active trading market when available, and otherwise on estimated borrowing
rates to discount the cash flows to their present value. The carrying amounts of the
7.875% Senior Notes due 2026 and the Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures due
2066 are net of the respective unamortized note discounts. |
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Companys debt are summarized as

(12) Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
As of March 31, 2010, purchase commitments for capital expenditures were $68.2 million.
The Company controls
a 17.7% interest in the Newcastle Coal Infrastructure Group (NCIG), which
is currently completing construction of a coal transloading facility in Newcastle, Australia. The facility, which
is expected to be completed in 2010, is backed by take or pay agreements. Financing for the next
stage of construction is currently being sought by NCIG. In the event there is a financing
shortfall, the Company has committed to fund a pro-rata share of the financing along with the other
NCIG shareholders. The Companys share could be as much as $85 million Australian dollars
(approximately $78 million U.S. dollars).
From time to time, the Company or its subsidiaries are involved in legal proceedings arising
in the ordinary course of business or related to indemnities or historical operations. The Company
believes it has recorded adequate reserves for these liabilities and that there is no individual
case pending that is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows. The Company discusses its significant legal proceedings
below.
18
PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Litigation Relating to Continuing Operations
Navajo Nation Litigation. On June 18, 1999, the Navajo Nation served three of the Companys
subsidiaries, including Peabody Western Coal Company (Peabody Western), with a complaint that had
been filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The Navajo Nation alleged 16
claims, including Civil Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) violations and
fraud. On April 12, 2010, the Navajo Nation filed an amended complaint to substantially narrow the
scope of the Navajo Nations claims by removing the RICO allegations but leaving the other 12
common law tort and contractual claims. The complaint alleges that the defendants jointly
participated in unlawful activity to obtain favorable coal lease amendments. The plaintiff is
seeking various remedies including actual damages of at least $600 million, punitive damages of at
least $1 billion, a determination that Peabody Westerns two coal leases have terminated due to
Peabody Westerns breach of these leases and a reformation of these leases to adjust the royalty
rate to 20%. The court has allowed the Hopi Tribe to intervene in this lawsuit and the Hopi Tribe
is also seeking unspecified actual damages, punitive damages and reformation of its coal lease. One
of the Companys subsidiaries named as a defendant is now a subsidiary of Patriot Coal Corporation
(Patriot). However, the Company is responsible for this litigation under the Separation Agreement
entered into with Patriot in connection with the spin-off. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled against
the Navajo Nation in a related case against the U.S. government, and remanded that case to the
lower court to dismiss the complaint. The U.S. Supreme Court said that none of the sources relied
on by the Navajo Nation provided a basis for its breach-of-trust lawsuit against the U.S.
government, which undermines some of the claims the Navajo Nation asserts in its litigation against
the Company.
The outcome of this litigation is subject to numerous uncertainties. Based on the Companys
evaluation of the issues and their potential impact, the amount of any future loss cannot be
reasonably estimated. However, based on current information, the Company believes this matter is
likely to be resolved without a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows.
Gulf Power Company Litigation. On June 22, 2006, Gulf Power Company (Gulf Power) filed a
breach of contract lawsuit against a Company subsidiary in the U.S. District Court, Northern
District of Florida, contesting the force majeure declaration by the Companys subsidiary under a
coal supply agreement with Gulf Power and seeking damages for alleged past and future tonnage
shortfalls of nearly 5 million tons under the agreement, which expired on December 31, 2007. In
February 2008, the court denied the Companys motion to dismiss the Florida lawsuit or to transfer
it to Illinois and retained jurisdiction over the case. Gulf Power filed a motion for partial
summary judgment on liability, and the Company subsidiary filed a motion for summary judgment
seeking complete dismissal. On September 30, 2009, the court granted Gulf Powers motion for
partial summary judgment and denied the Company subsidiarys motion for summary judgment. In
October 2009, the Company subsidiary filed a motion for reconsideration which the court denied.
The damages portion of the trial was held in February 2010; however, the court has not yet rendered
its decision in the case.
The outcome of this litigation is subject to numerous uncertainties. Based on the Companys
evaluation of the issues and their potential impact, the amount of any future loss cannot
reasonably be estimated. However, based on current information, the Company believes this matter is
likely to be resolved without a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows.
Claims and Litigation Relating to Indemnities or Historical Operations
Oklahoma Lead Litigation. Gold Fields Mining, LLC (Gold Fields) is a dormant, non-coal
producing entity that was previously managed and owned by Hanson PLC, the Companys predecessor
owner. In a February 1997 spin-off, Hanson PLC transferred ownership of Gold Fields to the Company,
despite the fact that Gold Fields had no ongoing operations and the Company had no prior
involvement in its past operations. Gold Fields is currently one of the Companys subsidiaries. The
Company indemnified TXU Group with respect to certain claims relating to a former affiliate of Gold
Fields. A predecessor of Gold Fields formerly operated two lead mills near Picher, Oklahoma prior
to the 1950s and mined, in accordance with lease agreements and permits, approximately 0.15% of the
total amount of the crude ore mined in the county.

PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Gold Fields and several other companies are defendants in two property damage lawsuits arising
from past operations near Picher, Oklahoma. The plaintiffs are seeking compensatory damages for
diminution in property values and punitive damages. These cases were originally filed as putative
class actions, but the court has denied class certification and the cases were subsequently amended
to include a number of individual plaintiffs. In December 2003, the Quapaw Indian tribe and
certain Quapaw land owners filed a lawsuit against Gold Fields, five other companies and the U.S.
The plaintiffs are seeking compensatory and punitive damages based on a variety of theories. In
December 2007, the court dismissed the tribes medical monitoring claim. In July 2008, the court
dismissed the tribes claim for interim and lost use damages under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act without prejudice to refile at the point the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) selects a final remedy for the site. Gold Fields has filed a
third-party complaint against the U.S. and other parties. In February 2005, the state of Oklahoma
on behalf of itself and several other parties sent a notice to Gold Fields and other companies
regarding a possible natural resources damage claim. All of the lawsuits are pending in the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma.
The outcome of litigation and these claims are subject to numerous uncertainties. Based on the
Companys evaluation of the issues and their potential impact, the amount of any future loss cannot
be reasonably estimated. However, based on current information, the Company believes this matter is
likely to be resolved without a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows.
Environmental Claims and Litigation
Environmental claims have been asserted against Gold Fields related to activities of Gold
Fields or a former affiliate. Gold Fields or the former affiliate has been named a potentially
responsible party (PRP) at five national priority list sites based on the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986. Claims were asserted at 12 additional sites, bringing the total to 17,
which have since been reduced to 11 by completion of work, transfer or regulatory inactivity. The
number of PRP sites in and of itself is not a relevant measure of liability, because the nature and
extent of environmental concerns varies by site, as does the estimated share of responsibility for
Gold Fields or the former affiliate. Undiscounted liabilities for environmental cleanup-related
costs for all of the sites noted above were $48.8 million as of March 31, 2010 and $49.5 million as
of December 31, 2009, $7.2 million and $7.9 million of which was reflected as a current liability,
respectively. These amounts represent those costs that the Company believes are probable and
reasonably estimable. In September 2005, Gold Fields and other PRPs received a letter from the U.S.
Department of Justice alleging that the PRPs mining operations caused the EPA to incur
approximately $125 million in residential yard remediation costs at Picher, Oklahoma and will cause
the EPA to incur additional remediation costs relating to historical mining sites. In September
2008, Gold Fields and other PRPs received letters from the U.S. Department of Justice and the EPA
re-initiating settlement negotiations. Gold Fields continues to participate in the settlement
discussions. Gold Fields believes it has meritorious defenses to these claims.
Gold Fields is involved in other litigation in the Picher area, and the Company indemnified
TXU Group with respect to a defendant as is more fully discussed under the Oklahoma Lead
Litigation caption above. Gold Fields has also been contacted by the state of Kansas (Kansas
Department of Health and Environment) and is in negotiations for final resolution of natural
resource damages claims at two sites. Significant uncertainty exists as to whether claims will be
pursued against Gold Fields in all cases, and where they are pursued, the amount of the eventual
costs and liabilities, which could be greater or less than the liabilities recorded in the
consolidated balance sheets. Based on the Companys evaluation of the issues and their potential
impact, the total amount of any future loss cannot be reasonably estimated. However, based on
current information, the Company believes these claims and litigation are likely to be resolved
without a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Comer, et al v. Murphy Oil Co., et al. In April 2006, residents and owners of land and
property along the Mississippi Gulf coast filed a purported class action lawsuit in the U.S.
District Court in the Southern District of Mississippi against more than 45 oil, chemical, utility
and coal companies, including the Company. The plaintiffs alleged that defendants greenhouse gas
emissions were a proximate and direct cause of the increase in the destructive capacity of
Hurricane Katrina, and sought damages based on several legal theories. The defendants filed
motions to dismiss on the grounds of lack of personal and subject matter jurisdiction. In August
2007, the court granted defendants motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction
finding that plaintiffs claims are barred by the political question doctrine and for lack of
standing. In October 2009, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
reversed in part the decision of the trial court, holding that the plaintiffs had standing to
assert their public and private nuisance, trespass and negligence
claims. The court held that
plaintiffs did not satisfy the prudential standing requirement for their unjust enrichment,
fraudulent misrepresentation and civil conspiracy claims and dismissed those claims and ordered
that the case be remanded to the district court for further proceedings. In March 2010, the Fifth
Circuit ordered a hearing en banc before the full Fifth Circuit to consider plaintiffs appeal.
Plaintiffs have filed their briefs, and defendants briefs are due in April. Oral argument is
scheduled for May 24, 2010. The Company believes that this lawsuit is without merit and intends to
defend against and oppose it vigorously, but cannot predict its outcome. Based on the Companys
evaluation of the issues and their potential impact, the amount of any future loss cannot be
reasonably estimated. However, based on current information, the Company believes this matter is
likely to be resolved without a materially adverse effect on its financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows.
Native Village of Kivalina and City of Kivalina v. ExxonMobil Corporation, et al. In February
2008, the Native Village of Kivalina and the City of Kivalina filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District
Court for the Northern District of California against the Company, several owners of electricity
generating facilities and several oil companies. The plaintiffs are the governing bodies of a
village in Alaska that they contend is being destroyed by erosion allegedly caused by global
warming that the plaintiffs attribute to emissions of greenhouse gases by the defendants. The
plaintiffs assert claims for nuisance, and allege that the defendants have acted in concert and are
jointly and severally liable for the plaintiffs damages. The suit seeks damages for lost property
values and for the cost of relocating the village. The defendants filed motions to dismiss on the
grounds of lack of personal and subject matter jurisdiction. In September 2009, the court granted
defendants motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction finding that plaintiffs
federal claim for nuisance is barred by the political question doctrine and for lack of standing.
The plaintiffs are appealing the courts dismissal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth
Circuit. Plaintiffs filed their briefs, and defendants briefs are due June 20, 2010, with
plaintiffs reply briefs due September 15, 2010.
Other
In addition, at times the Company becomes a party to other claims, lawsuits, arbitration
proceedings and administrative procedures in the ordinary course of business in the U.S., Australia
and other countries where the Company does business. Based on current information, the Company
believes that the ultimate resolution of such other pending or threatened proceedings is not
reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of
operations or liquidity.
New York Office of the Attorney General Subpoena. The New York Office of the Attorney General
sent a letter to the Company dated September 14, 2007 that referred to the Companys plans to
build new coal-fired electric generating units, and said that the increase in CO2
emissions from the operation of these units, in combination with Peabody Energys other coal-fired
power plants, will subject Peabody Energy to increased financial, regulatory, and litigation
risks. The Company currently has no electricity generating capacity in place. The letter
included a subpoena issued under New York state law, which seeks information and documents relating
to the Companys analysis of the risks associated with climate change and possible climate change
legislation or regulations, and its disclosure of such risks to investors. The Company believes
that it has made full and proper disclosure of these potential risks.

(13) Guarantees and Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to guarantees and financial
instruments with off-balance-sheet risk, such as bank letters of credit, performance or surety
bonds and other guarantees and indemnities, which are not reflected in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheets. Such financial instruments are valued based on the amount of exposure
under the instrument and the likelihood of required performance. In the Companys past experience,
virtually no claims have been made against these financial instruments. Management does not expect
any material losses to result from these guarantees or off-balance-sheet instruments.
Letters of Credit and Bonding
The Company has letters of credit, surety bonds and corporate guarantees (such as self bonds)
in support of the Companys reclamation, coal lease obligations, and workers compensation as
follows as of March 31, 2010:

Other includes the six letter of credit obligations described below and an
additional $61.0 million in letters of credit and surety bonds related to collateral
for surety companies, road maintenance, performance guarantees and other operations. |
The Company owns a 37.5% interest in Dominion Terminal Associates, a partnership that operates
a coal export terminal in Newport News, Virginia under a 30-year lease that permits the partnership
to purchase the terminal at the end of the lease term for a nominal amount. The partners have
severally (but not jointly) agreed to make payments under various agreements which in the aggregate
provide the partnership with sufficient funds to pay rents and to cover the principal and interest
payments on the floating-rate industrial revenue bonds issued by the Peninsula Ports Authority, and
which are supported by letters of credit from a commercial bank. As of March 31, 2010, the
Companys maximum reimbursement obligation to the commercial bank was in turn supported by four
letters of credit totaling $42.7 million.
The Company is party to an agreement with the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) and TXU Europe Limited, an affiliate of the
Companys former parent corporation, under which the Company is required to make special
contributions to two of the Companys defined benefit pension plans and to maintain a $37.0 million
letter of credit in favor of the PBGC. If the Company or the PBGC gives notice of an intent to
terminate one or more of the covered pension plans in which liabilities are not fully funded, or if
the Company fails to maintain the letter of credit, the PBGC may draw down on the letter of credit
and use the proceeds to satisfy liabilities under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended. The PBGC, however, is required to first apply amounts received from a $110.0
million guarantee in place from TXU Europe Limited in favor of the PBGC before it draws on the
Companys letter of credit. On November 19, 2002 TXU Europe Limited was placed under the
administration process in the United Kingdom (a process similar to bankruptcy proceedings in the
U.S.) and continues under this process as of March 31, 2010. As a result of these proceedings, TXU
Europe Limited may be liquidated or otherwise reorganized in such a way as to relieve it of its
obligations under its guarantee.
At March 31, 2010, the Company has a $128.9 million letter of credit for collateral for bank
guarantees issued with respect to certain reclamation and performance obligations related to some
of the Companys Australian mines.

PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION

Other Guarantees
The Company has a liability recorded of $52.3 million as of March 31, 2010 and December 31,
2009 related to reclamation and bonding commitments associated with the purchase of approximately
427 million tons of coal reserves and surface lands in the Illinois Basin in 2007.
The Company is the lessee under numerous equipment and property leases. It is common in such
commercial lease transactions for the Company, as the lessee, to agree to indemnify the lessor for
the value of the property or equipment leased, should the property be damaged or lost during the
course of the Companys operations. The Company expects that losses with respect to leased property
would be covered by insurance (subject to deductibles). The Company and certain of its subsidiaries
have guaranteed other subsidiaries performance under their various lease obligations. Aside from
indemnification of the lessor for the value of the property leased, the Companys maximum potential
obligations under its leases are equal to the respective future minimum lease payments, and the
Company assumes that no amounts could be recovered from third parties.
A subsidiary of the Company owns a 5.06% undivided interest in the Prairie State Energy Campus
(Prairie State), a 1,600 megawatt coal-fuel electricity generation project currently under
construction. In connection with the development of Prairie State, each owner, including the
Companys subsidiary, has a guarantee for its proportionate share of obligations to pay its
percentage of the construction costs under the Target Price Engineering, Procurement and
Construction Agreement with Bechtel Power Corporation. Included in Investments and other assets
in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, are costs
of $138.8 million and $126.6 million, respectively. The Company spent $12.2 million during the
three months ended March 31, 2010 representing its 5.06% share of the construction costs. Total
construction costs for Prairie State are expected to be approximately $4 billion.
The Company has provided financial guarantees under certain long-term debt agreements entered
into by its subsidiaries, and substantially all of the Companys subsidiaries provide financial
guarantees under long-term debt agreements entered into by the Company. The maximum amounts
payable under the Companys debt agreements are equal to the respective principal and interest
payments.
Accounts Receivable Securitization
The Company has an accounts receivable securitization program (securitization program) through
its wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary (Seller). Under the securitization program,
beginning in 2010, the Company contributes, on a revolving basis, trade receivables of most of the
Companys U.S. subsidiaries to the Seller, which then sells the receivables in their entirety to a
consortium of unaffiliated asset-backed commercial paper conduits (the Conduits). After the sale,
the Company, as servicer of the assets, collects the receivables on behalf of the Conduits for a
nominal servicing fee. The Company utilizes proceeds from the sale of its accounts receivable as an
alternative to short-term borrowings under the Companys Senior Unsecured Credit Facility,
effectively managing its overall borrowing costs and providing an additional source for working
capital. The securitization program was renewed in May 2009 and amended in December 2009 in order
to qualify for sale accounting under a newly adopted accounting standard related to financial asset
transfers. Prior to amending the securitization program, the Company sold senior undivided
interests in certain of its accounts receivable and retained subordinated interests in those
receivables. The current securitization program extends to May 2012, while the letter of credit
commitment that supports the commercial paper facility underlying the securitization program must
be renewed annually.
The Seller is a separate legal entity whose assets are available first and foremost to satisfy
the claims of its creditors. Of the receivables sold to the Conduits, a portion of the amount due
to the Seller is deferred until the ultimate collection of the underlying receivables. During the
three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company received total consideration of $1,097.6 million
related to accounts receivable sold under the securitization program, including $274.7 million of
cash up front from the sale of the receivables, an additional $742.3 million of cash upon the
collection of the underlying receivables, and $80.6 million that had not been collected at March
31, 2010 and was recorded at fair value which approximates carrying value.
The securitization activity has been reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows as operating activity because both the cash received from the Conduits
upon sale of receivables as well as the cash received from the Conduits upon the ultimate
collection of receivables are not subject to significantly different risks given the short-term
nature of the Companys trade receivables. The Company recorded losses associated with
securitization transactions of $0.7 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31,
2010 and 2009, respectively.

(15) Subsequent Event
On April 15, 2010, the Company submitted a definitive proposal to acquire a controlling
interest in Macarthur Coal Limited (Macarthur). The
proposal has the approval of the Companys Board of Directors and would be implemented by way of a
court-ordered scheme of arrangement on customary terms, including receipt of the Australian Foreign
Investment Review Board and other regulatory approvals. The proposal
was also subject to a limited, confirmatory due diligence period of
up to five days, which has been completed. The Company is currently
in discussions with Macarthur regarding the proposal.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report includes statements of our expectations, intentions, plans and beliefs that
constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are intended to come within the
safe harbor protection provided by those sections. These statements relate to future events or our
future financial performance, including, without limitation, the section captioned Outlook in
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. We use words
such as anticipate, believe, expect, may, project, should, estimate, or plan or
other similar words to identify forward-looking statements.
Without limiting the foregoing, all statements relating to our future operating results,
anticipated capital expenditures, future cash flows and borrowings, and sources of funding are
forward-looking statements and speak only as of the date of this report. These forward-looking
statements are based on numerous assumptions that we believe are reasonable, but are subject to a
wide range of uncertainties and business risks and actual results may differ materially from those
discussed in these statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially are:
|
|
|
demand for coal in United States (U.S.), China and other international power generation
and steel production markets; |
|
|
|
|
price volatility and demand, particularly in higher-margin products and in our trading
and brokerage businesses; |
|
|
|
|
reductions and/or deferrals of purchases by major customers and ability to renew sales
contracts; |
|
|
|
|
credit and performance risks associated with customers, suppliers, trading, banks and
other financial counterparties; |
|
|
|
|
geologic, equipment, permitting and operational risks related to mining; |
|
|
|
|
transportation availability, performance and costs; |
|
|
|
|
availability, timing of delivery and costs of key supplies, capital equipment or
commodities such as diesel fuel, steel, explosives and tires; |
|
|
|
|
impact of weather on demand, production and transportation; |
|
|
|
|
successful implementation of business strategies, including our Btu Conversion and
generation development initiatives; |
|
|
|
|
negotiation of labor contracts, employee relations and workforce availability; |
|
|
|
|
changes in postretirement benefit and pension obligations and funding requirements; |
|
|
|
|
replacement and development of coal reserves; |
|
|
|
|
access to capital and credit markets and availability and costs of credit, margin
capacity, surety bonds, letters of credit, and insurance; |
|
|
|
|
effects of changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates (primarily the
Australian dollar); |
|
|
|
|
effects of acquisitions or divestitures; |
|
|
|
|
economic strength and political stability of countries in which we have operations or
serve customers; |
|
|
|
|
legislation, regulations and court decisions or other government actions, including new
environmental requirements, changes in federal or state income tax regulations or other
regulatory taxes; |
|
|
|
|
litigation, including claims not yet asserted; |
|
|
|
|
terrorist attacks or threats; |
|
|
|
|
impacts of pandemic illnesses; and |
|
|
|
|
other factors, including those discussed in Legal Proceedings. |
When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the cautionary
statements in this document and in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings,
including the more detailed discussion of these factors, as well as other factors that could affect
our results, contained in Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2009. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such
statements were made, and we undertake no obligation to update these statements except as required
by federal securities laws.

Overview
We are the worlds largest private sector coal company, with majority interests in 27 coal
mining operations in the U.S. and Australia. In 2009, we produced 210.0 million tons of coal and
sold 243.6 million tons of coal.
We typically sell coal to utility customers under long-term contracts (those with terms longer
than one year). During 2009, approximately 93% of our worldwide sales (by volume) were under
long-term contracts. For the year ended December 31, 2009, 81% of our total sales (by volume) were
to U.S. electricity generators, 17% were to customers outside the U.S. and 2% were to the
U.S. industrial sector. We conduct business through four principal operating segments: Western U.S.
Mining, Midwestern U.S. Mining, Australian Mining, and Trading and Brokerage. Our fifth segment,
Corporate and Other, includes mining and export/transportation joint ventures, energy-related
commercial activities, as well as the management of our vast coal reserve and real estate holdings.
We continue to explore Btu Conversion projects designed to expand the uses of coal through
coal-to-liquids and coal gasification technologies. We are also participating in the advancement of
clean coal technologies, including carbon capture and storage, in the U.S., China and Australia.
Recent Events
On April 15, 2010, we submitted a definitive proposal to acquire a controlling interest in
Macarthur Coal Limited (Macarthur). The proposal
has the approval of our Board of Directors and would be implemented by way of a court-ordered
scheme of arrangement on customary terms, including receipt of the Australian Foreign Investment
Review Board and other regulatory approvals. The proposal was also
subject to a limited, confirmatory due diligence period of up to five
days, which has been completed. We are currently in discussions with
Macarthur regarding the proposal.
We control a 17.7% interest in the Newcastle Coal Infrastructure Group (NCIG), which is
currently completing construction of a coal transloading facility in Newcastle, Australia. The
facility began shipping coal in April 2010 and has an initial annual capacity of 33 million tons
per year, of which our share is 5.8 million tons.
Our Bear Run Mine in Sullivan County, Indiana is expected to ship its first coal in the second
quarter of 2010. The mine is expected to be the largest surface coal mine in the eastern U.S.
which, at full production levels, has a capacity of approximately 8 million tons of coal annually.
The mine will initially supply two major Midwestern electricity generators under long-term
contracts with terms of up to 17 years.
Results of Operations
The results of operations for all periods presented reflect the assets, liabilities and
results of operations from subsidiaries spun off as Patriot Coal Corporation (Patriot) as
discontinued operations. We also have classified as discontinued operations those operations
recently divested, as well as certain non-strategic mining assets held for sale where we have
committed to the divestiture of such assets.
31
Adjusted EBITDA
The discussion of our results of operations below includes references to and analysis of our
segments Adjusted EBITDA results. We define Adjusted EBITDA as income from continuing operations
before deducting net interest expense, income taxes, asset retirement obligation expense and
depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to measure our
segments operating performance, and management also believes it is a useful indicator of our
ability to meet debt service and capital expenditure requirements. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not
calculated identically by all companies, our calculation may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to its most comparable measure, under
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), in Note 10 to our unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2009
Summary
We estimate markets are continuing to recover from the global economic recession. In the
U.S., coal stockpiles at electric utilities were reduced by 36 million tons between December 2009
and February 2010, with approximately half of the reductions occurring at Powder River
Basin-sourced coal-fueled plants. In Australia, there was an increase in demand for metallurgical
coal driven by demand from Asia-Pacific markets. We continue to focus on cost control and
productivity improvements, increased contributions from our high-margin operations and exercising
capital discipline. We ended the quarter with total available liquidity of $2.51 billion, which
includes cash of $1.03 billion.
First quarter revenue increased $62.6 million, or 4.3%, and Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased
$38.7 million, or 9.7%, led by higher Australian coal volumes as discussed above and higher
pricing across the U.S. operating platform.
Income from continuing operations, net of income taxes, decreased by $4.1 million, or 2.9%,
compared to the prior year due to increased income taxes and depreciation, depletion and
amortization, mostly offset by the increase in Segment Adjusted EBITDA discussed above.

Total revenues increased $62.6 million compared to the prior year due to the following:
|
|
|
Australian Mining operations volume increased 40.9% over the prior year due to
higher metallurgical coal demand led by the Asia-Pacific markets. Despite the higher
metallurgical sales volume, we experienced a lower weighted average sales price of
12.2% in the current year due to the higher annual export contract pricing secured in
2008 which remained in effect during the three months ended March 31, 2009. |
|
|
|
|
Western U.S. Mining operations weighted average sales price increased 3.2% over the
prior year due to contractual price increases at our Colorado and Powder River Basin
operations. The impact of the higher weighted average sales prices was partially
offset by decreased shipments of 2.0% in the current year, reflecting our planned
production reductions of approximately one million tons. |
|
|
|
|
Midwestern U.S. Mining operations revenues were lower due to decreased shipments
resulting from reduced demand. Partially offsetting the impact of the decreased
shipments was a weighted average sales price increase of 9.2% over the prior year
driven by contractual price increases. |
|
|
|
|
Trading and Brokerage revenues decreased from the prior year primarily due to lower
coal pricing volatility in the current year resulting in lower margins on trading
transactions. |

Our Australian Mining operations Adjusted EBITDA increased compared to the prior year
primarily due to increased metallurgical coal volume as discussed above ($21.6 million) and
reduced government-imposed royalties related to an overall decrease in the weighted average sales
price in the current year as discussed above ($12.9 million). The favorable impact of improved
longwall performance was partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average sales price ($18.2
million). Unfavorably impacting Australian Mining Operation Adjusted EBITDA was the foreign
currency impact on operating costs, net of hedging ($19.0 million), and higher demurrage costs
($10.4 million).
Western U.S. Mining operations Adjusted EBITDA increased compared to the prior year due to
lower repairs and maintenance costs ($16.1 million), an increase in the weighted average sales
price as discussed above ($6.0 million), and a shift in volume to our higher-margin operations.
Midwestern U.S. Mining operations Adjusted EBITDA increased compared to the prior year due
to an increase in the weighted average sales price as discussed above ($26.3 million) and lower
materials and supplies ($4.3 million), repairs and maintenance ($3.5 million), and commodity costs
($2.3 million), partially offset by lower volume driven by decreased demand ($25.9 million).
Trading and Brokerage operations Adjusted EBITDA decreased compared to the prior year
primarily due to lower net revenue as discussed above.

Income from continuing operations before income taxes was higher than the prior year
primarily due to the higher Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA discussed above, partially offset by
lower Corporate and Other Adjusted EBITDA and higher depreciation, depletion and amortization
expense.
|
|
|
Corporate and Other Adjusted EBITDA results include selling and administrative
expenses, equity income (loss) from our joint ventures, net gains on asset
disposals or exchanges, costs associated with past mining obligations and revenues
and expenses related to our other commercial activities such as generation
development and Btu Conversion development costs. The decrease in Corporate and
Other Adjusted
EBITDA during the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to 2009 was primarily
due to a current year increase in selling and administrative expenses related to
increased headcount and professional services costs associated with our growth
initiatives. |
|
|
|
|
Depreciation, depletion and amortization was higher compared to the prior year
primarily due to increased production at our Australian mines reflecting higher
demand. |

Net income attributable to common stockholders decreased compared to the prior year due to
the following:
|
|
|
Income (loss) from discontinued operations was $34.4 million lower than prior year
due to a coal excise tax refund receivable of approximately $37 million recorded
during the three months ended March 31, 2009. See Note 2 to our consolidated
financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2009 for more information related to the excise tax refund receivable; and |
|
|
|
|
The income tax provision was $25.9 million higher than prior year due to higher
current year pre-tax earnings ($7.6 million) and lower percentage depletion benefit
($7.0 million). The income tax provision also includes higher non-cash tax expense
from the remeasurement of Australian income tax accounts ($6.3 million) due primarily
to the strengthening of the Australian dollar during the current year, as illustrated
below: |

Outlook
Near-Term Outlook
Global economies continue to show signs of improvement, with Federal Reserve officials
forecasting a 2010 economic expansion of 2.8 to 3.5%. The Asia-Pacific markets are expected to
continue to outpace the U.S. and European markets in economic growth and therefore in electricity
generation and steel production. Chinas economic growth in the first quarter of 2010 was 12%, the
fastest pace in almost three years, and Indias economy is projected to grow 8% this year. For
2009,
China and India were the only steel producing majors to outpace prior-year levels, with all
other nations 23% lower on average. We estimate global steel production will increase more than 10%
in 2010. Globally, approximately 94 gigawatts of new coal-fueled generation are under construction
and expected to come on line during 2010, nearly 80% of which are in China and India. New global
coal-fueled generation for 2010 is estimated to require approximately 410 million tons of coal
annually.
35
U.S. markets also continue to recover from the recession, with electricity generation up more
than 4 percent year-to-date in the coal-dominant regions. Stockpiles declined at a record pace
between December 2009 and February 2010, drawing down 36 million tons of coal versus the 10-year
average decline of 15 million tons. As of April 3, 2010, we estimate utility stockpiles were
approximately 175 to 180 million tons, 8% above the year-ago level but approximately 36 million
tons less than November 2009. We believe annual U.S. coal demand could rise 60 to 80 million tons
based on economic growth, increasing industrial production, higher exports and an expected recovery
of the substantial volumes lost to coal-to-gas switching. The Energy Information Administration
(EIA) estimates coal consumption will be 37 million tons higher in 2010 with production declines of
47 million tons, leading to a reduction in utility coal inventories.
As of April 22, 2010, our full-year 2010 sales targets are approximately 185 to 195 million
tons in the U.S. and 27 to 29 million tons in Australia. Total 2010 sales are expected to be in a
range of 240 to 260 million tons. We may continue to adjust our production levels in response to
changes in market demand.
We are fully contracted for 2010 at planned production levels in the U.S. As of April 22, 2010
we had 4.5 to 5.0 million tons of unpriced Australian metallurgical coal and 5.0 to 5.5 million
tons of unpriced Australian export thermal coal, both for second half 2010 deliveries.
Because of the tightness in Pacific supply-demand fundamentals, reference high-quality hard
coking coal settled for quarterly contracts commencing April 1 at $200 per tonne, and spot
metallurgical coals are estimated to be $240 to $250 per tonne. As of April 22, 2010, reference
contracts for Newcastle quality thermal coal settled at $98 per tonne with the futures pricing
above $100 per tonne through 2013.
We continue to manage costs and operating performance to mitigate external cost pressures,
geologic conditions and potential shipping delays resulting from adverse port and rail performance.
To mitigate the external cost pressures, we have an ongoing company-wide initiative to instill
best practices at all operations. We may have higher per ton costs as a result of below-optimal
production levels due to market-driven changes in demand. We may also encounter poor geologic
conditions, lower third-party contract miner or brokerage performance or unforeseen equipment
problems that limit our ability to produce at forecasted levels. To the extent upward pressure on
costs exceeds our ability to realize sales increases, or if we experience unanticipated operating
or transportation difficulties, our operating margins would be negatively impacted. Improvement in
the relative cost of other fuels, including natural gas, could impact the use of coal for
electricity generation. See Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Item 1A.
Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 for additional
considerations regarding our outlook.
We rely on ongoing access to worldwide financial markets for capital, insurance, hedging and
investments through a wide variety of financial instruments and contracts. To the extent these
markets are not available or increase significantly in cost, this could have a negative impact on
our ability to meet our business goals. Similarly, many of our customers and suppliers rely on the
availability of the financial markets to secure the necessary financing and financial surety
(letters of credit, performance bonds, etc.) to complete transactions with us. To the extent
customers and suppliers are not able to secure this financial support, it could have a negative
impact on our results of operations and/or counterparty credit exposure.
Long-Term Outlook
Our long-term global outlook remains positive. Coal has been the fastest-growing fuel in the
world for each of the past six years, with consumption growing nearly twice as fast as total energy
use.
The International Energy Agencys (IEA) World Energy Outlook estimates world primary energy
demand will grow 40% between 2007 and 2030, with demand for coal rising 53%. China and India alone
account for more than half of the expected incremental energy demand.
36
Coal is expected to retain its strong presence as a fuel for the power sector worldwide, with
its share of the power generation mix projected by the IEA to rise from 41% in 2007 to 44% in
2030. Currently, we estimate 276 gigawatts of coal-fueled electricity generating plants are under
construction around the world, representing more than a billion tons of annual coal demand expected
to come online in the next several years. While some planned U.S. coal-based plants have been
cancelled in recent years, 13 gigawatts of new coal-based generating capacity have been completed
in 2010 or are under construction, representing approximately 50 million tons of annual coal demand
once they become operational.
We believe that Btu Conversion applications such as coal-to-gas (CTG) and coal-to-liquids
(CTL) plants represent an avenue for potential long-term industry growth. The EIA continues to
project an increase in demand for unconventional sources of transportation fuel such as CTL, which
is estimated to add nearly 70 million tons of annual U.S. coal demand by 2035. In addition, China
and India are developing CTG and CTL facilities.
The IEA projects natural gas demand will grow 1.5% per year to just under 4,310 billion cubic
meters in 2030. The biggest increase in absolute terms is expected in the Middle East, which holds
the majority of the worlds proven reserves, and non-OECD Asia. North America and Eastern
Europe/Eurasia are expected to remain the leading gas consumers in 2030, even though their demand
is expected to rise less in percentage terms than almost anywhere else globally. Globally, the
share of hydro and renewables is projected to rise four percentage points to 22% between 2007 and
2030. Nuclear power is expected to grow in all major regions with the exception of Europe, but its
share in total generation is expected to fall between 2007 and 2030.
We continue to support clean coal technology development and other initiatives addressing
carbon dioxide concerns through our participation in a number of projects in the U.S., China and
Australia. In addition, clean coal technology development in the U.S. is being accelerated by
funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and by the formation of an
Interagency Task Force on Carbon Capture and Storage to develop a comprehensive and coordinated
federal strategy to speed the commercial development of clean coal technologies.
Enactment of laws or passage of regulations regarding emissions from the combustion of coal by
the U.S. or some of its states or by other countries, or other actions to limit such emissions,
could result in electricity generators switching from coal to other fuel sources. The potential
financial impact on us of future laws or regulations will depend upon the degree to which any such
laws or regulations forces electricity generators to diminish their reliance on coal as a fuel
source. That, in turn, will depend on a number of factors, including the specific requirements
imposed by any such laws or regulations, the time periods over which those laws or regulations
would be phased in and the state of commercial development and deployment of carbon capture and
storage technologies. In view of the significant uncertainty surrounding each of these factors, it
is not possible for us to reasonably predict the impact that any such laws or regulations may have
on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of cash include sales of our coal production to customers, cash generated
from our trading and brokerage activities, sales of non-core assets and financing transactions. Our
primary uses of cash include our cash costs of coal production, capital expenditures, federal coal
lease payments, interest costs and costs related to past mining obligations as well as
acquisitions. Our ability to pay dividends, service our debt (interest and principal) and acquire
new productive assets or businesses is dependent upon our ability to continue to generate cash from
the primary sources noted above in excess of the primary uses. Future dividends and share
repurchases, among other restricted items, are subject to limitations imposed in the covenants of
our 5.875% and 6.875% Senior Notes and Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures. We generally
fund our capital expenditure requirements with cash generated from operations.
We believe our available borrowing capacity and operating cash flows will be sufficient in the
near term. As of March 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.0 billion and $1.5 billion
of available borrowing capacity under our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility, net of outstanding
letters of credit. The Senior Unsecured Credit Facility matures on September 15, 2011.
37
As noted earlier, on April 15, 2010, we submitted a definitive proposal to acquire a
controlling interest in Macarthur. Should this
acquisition proceed, we expect to fund it through existing cash balances and proceeds from the
issuance of additional long-term debt and/or equity securities.
The Pension Protection Act of 2006 (the Pension Protection Act), which was effective January
1, 2008, increased the long-term funding targets for single employer pension plans from 90% to
100%. At risk plans, as defined by the Pension Protection Act, are restricted from making full
lump sum payments and from increasing benefits unless they are funded immediately, and also
requires that the plan give participants notice regarding the at-risk status of the plan. If a
plan falls below 60%, lump sum payments are prohibited and participant benefit accruals cease.
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we made discretionary contributions of approximately
$16 million. We expect to make additional discretionary contributions of approximately $12 million
during the remainder of 2010, for a total of approximately $28 million. These additional
contributions will be made to avoid benefit payment restrictions.
We also have a share repurchase program that has an available capacity of $700.4 million at
March 31, 2010. While no repurchases were made in 2010 under the program, repurchases may be made
from time to time based on an evaluation of our outlook and general business conditions, as well as
alternative investment and debt repayment options. The repurchase program does not have an
expiration date and may be discontinued at any time.
The NCIG coal transloading facility is backed by take or pay agreements. Financing for the
next stage of construction is currently being sought by NCIG. In the event there is a financing
shortfall, we have committed to fund a pro-rata share of the financing along with the other NCIG
shareholders. Our share could be as much as $85 million Australian dollars (approximately $78
million U.S. dollars).
Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations decreased $49.6 million
compared to the prior year primarily due to lower working capital driven by our Australian
operations as the prior year cash receipts outpaced sales due to lower market demand and lower
production due to three longwall moves. Also contributing to the decrease were the pension
contributions discussed above.
The decrease in cash used in discontinued operations of $22.1 million was due to lower current
year payments related to Patriot.
Net cash used in investing activities increased $6.7 million compared to the prior year due to
higher current year capital spending of $52.7 million related primarily to our Bear Run Mine
development and an acquisition of a $15.0 million equity interest in Calera Corporation, partially
offset by federal coal lease expenditures of $59.8 million in the prior year.
Net cash used in financing activities increased $6.2 million primarily due to a $2.8 million
increase in dividends.
Our total indebtedness as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, consisted of the following:

Third-party Security Ratings
The ratings for our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility and our Senior Unsecured Notes are as
follows: Moodys has issued a Ba1 rating, Standard & Poors a BB+ rating, and Fitch has issued a
BB+ rating. The ratings on our Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures are as follows: Moodys
has issued a Ba3 rating, Standard & Poors a B+ rating, and Fitch has issued a BB- rating. These
security ratings reflected the views of the rating agency only. An explanation of the significance
of these ratings may be obtained from the rating agency. Such ratings are not a recommendation to
buy, sell or hold securities, but rather an indication of creditworthiness. Any rating can be
revised upward or downward or withdrawn at any time by a rating agency if it decides that the
circumstances warrant the change. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other
rating.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures for 2010 are anticipated to be between $600 million to $650 million. The
planned expenditures include sustaining capital at our existing mines, completion of our Bear Run
Mine in western Indiana, expansion of our metallurgical and thermal coal export platform in
Australia to serve the growth markets in Asia and funding of our Prairie State Energy Campus
investment.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of business, we are a party to certain off-balance sheet arrangements.
These arrangements include guarantees, indemnifications, financial instruments with off-balance
sheet risk, such as bank letters of credit and performance or surety bonds and our accounts
receivable securitization. Assets and liabilities related to these arrangements are not reflected
in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, and we do not expect any material adverse effects on
our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows to result from these off-balance sheet
arrangements.
Under our accounts receivable securitization program (securitization program), we contribute, on a
revolving basis, trade receivables of most our U.S. subsidiaries to the Seller, which then sells the
receivables in their entirety to a consortium of unaffiliated asset-backed commercial paper conduits (the
Conduits). We utilize proceeds from the sale of our accounts receivable as an alternative to short-term
borrowings under our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility, effectively managing our overall borrowing costs
and providing an additional source for working capital. The securitization program was renewed in May
2009 and amended in December 2009 in order to qualify for sale accounting under a newly adopted
accounting standard related to financial asset transfers. Of the receivables sold to the Conduits, a portion
of the amount due to the Seller is deferred until the ultimate collection of the underlying receivables.
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we received total consideration of $1,097.6 million
related to accounts receivable sold under the securitization program, including $274.7 million of cash up
front from the sale of the receivables, an additional $742.3 million of cash upon the collection of the
underlying receivables, and $80.6 million that had not been collected at March 31, 2010 and was recorded
at fair value which approximates carrying value.
There were no other material changes to our off-balance sheet arrangements during the three
months ended March 31, 2010. See Note 13 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements for a discussion of our guarantees. Our off-balance sheet arrangements are discussed in
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in Note
19 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2009.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and
capital resources is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with U.S. GAAP. GAAP requires that we make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we
evaluate our estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
39
Our critical accounting policies are discussed in Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2009. Except as set forth below, those critical accounting policies remained
unchanged at March 31, 2010.
Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification, we evaluate the quality and
reliability of the assumptions and data used to measure fair value in the three hierarchy Levels 1,
2 and 3. Commodity swaps and options and physical commodity purchase/sale contracts transacted in
less liquid markets or contracts, such as long-term arrangements, with limited price availability
were classified in Level 3. Indicators of less liquid markets are those with periods of low trade
activity or when broker quotes reflect wide pricing spreads. Generally, these instruments or
contracts are valued using internally generated models that include forward pricing curve quotes
from one to three reputable brokers. Our valuation techniques also include basis adjustments for
heat rate, sulfur and ash content, port and freight costs, and credit and nonperformance risk. We
validate our valuation inputs with third-party information and settlement prices from other sources
where available. We also consider credit and nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement by
analyzing the counterpartys exposure balance, credit rating and average default rate, net of any
counterparty credit enhancements (e.g., collateral), as well as our own credit rating for financial
derivative liabilities.
We have consistently applied these valuation techniques in all periods presented, and believe
we have obtained the most accurate information reasonably available for the types of derivative
contracts held. Valuation changes from period to period for each level will increase or decrease
depending on: (i) the relative change in fair value for positions held, (ii) new positions added,
(iii) realized amounts for completed trades, and (iv) transfers between levels. Our coal trading
strategies utilize various swaps and derivative physical contracts. Periodic changes in fair value
for purchase and sale positions, which are executed to lock in coal trading spreads, occur in each
level and therefore the overall change in value of our coal-trading platform requires consideration
of valuation changes across all levels.
2.9% of our net financial assets were categorized as Level 3 at March 31, 2010 and 5% were
categorized as Level 3 at December 31, 2009. See Note 11 to our unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements for additional information regarding fair value measurements.
Newly Adopted Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented
See Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of
newly adopted accounting standards and accounting standards not yet implemented.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes in market risk from the information provided in Item 7A.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk of our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to, among other things, provide reasonable
assurance that material information, both financial and non-financial, and other information
required under the securities laws to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to senior
management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, on a timely
basis. Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have evaluated our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934) as of March 31, 2010, and have concluded that such controls and procedures are
effective to provide reasonable assurance that the desired control objectives were achieved.
Additionally, during the most recent fiscal quarter, there have been no changes to our
internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
See Note 12 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I,
Item 1 of this report relating to certain legal proceedings, which information is incorporated by
reference herein.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Our Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program of up to $1 billion of the
then outstanding shares of our common stock. The repurchases may be made from time to time based
on an evaluation of our outlook and general business conditions, as well as alternative investment
and debt repayment options. Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer also has the authority to
direct us to repurchase up to $100 million of our common stock outside the share repurchase
program. The repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be discontinued at any
time. Through March 31, 2010, we have made repurchases of 7.7 million shares at a cost of $299.6
million ($199.8 million and $99.8 million in 2008 and 2006, respectively), leaving $700.4 million
available for share repurchase under the program.
