Current report
Second Quarter of 2026 Compared with Second Quarter of 2025, and First Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared with First Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Current report
Other expense (income), net
Current report
Interest expense decreased in the second quarter of 2026 and the first six months of 2026 compared with the respective 2025 periods due to an increase in capitalized interest and lower average interest rates, partially offset by higher average borrowings.
Current report
During 2025, $14.5 million of excess funds from the terminated Falkirk pension plan were directly transferred to the NACCO 401(k) plan. The NACCO 401(k) plan is a qualified replacement plan; therefore, these funds will be utilized to offset future profit sharing contributions to 401(k) plan participants. During the second quarter of 2025, NACCO and Falkirk’s former customer agreed to settle the corresponding liability for $10.9 million, resulting in a $3.6 million Gain on settlement of excess funding liability.
Current report
The $23.4 million improvement in net cash provided by (used for) operating activities was primarily due to favorable changes in operating assets and liabilities during the first six months of 2026 compared with the prior-year period. The improvement in operating assets and liabilities was mainly attributable to decreases in Prepaid profit sharing and Prepaid insurance and lower cash requirements associated with vendor deposits.
Current report
Other items
Current report
In July 2026, MLMC's customer notified MLMC that payment of coal invoices would be delayed due to operational issues at the Red Hills Power Plant that reduced the customer's cash receipts and liquidity. As of June 30, 2026, MLMC had $12.5 million in Trade accounts receivable outstanding, of which $7.2 million was past due. Management is actively monitoring collectability and the potential impact on MLMC's liquidity and working capital requirements. See Item 1A Risk Factors on page 30 within this Form 10-Q for further discussion of MLMC.
Current report
Inventory increased mainly as the result of higher coal and mining supplies inventory, including growth associated with the Contract Mining segment's expansion.
Current report
The results of operations for the Utility Coal Mining segment were as follows for the three and six months ended June 30:
Current report
Operating profit increased by $5.1 million and $8.7 million in the second quarter of 2026 and the first six months of 2026, respectively, compared with the 2025 periods. These improvements were primarily due to favorable changes in gross profit (loss), earnings of unconsolidated operations and selling, general and administrative expenses.
Current report
The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses during the 2026 periods was mainly attributable to lower contributions expense, as the 2025 periods included costs associated with a multi-year charitable pledge.
Current report
The results of operations for the Contract Mining segment were as follows for the three and six months ended June 30:
Current report
Operating profit increased $2.8 million and $4.8 million in the second quarter and the first six months of 2026, respectively, compared with the 2025 periods. These improvements were primarily due to increases in gross profit and earnings of unconsolidated operations. The favorable change in gross profit was mainly the result of contributions from a new dragline mining services contract and improved margins at limestone quarries. The increase in earnings of unconsolidated operations was primarily due to higher customer requirements as a result of an additional dragline operating at a new quarry pursuant to an existing contract. The improvements in operating profit were partially offset by increases in selling, general and administrative expenses mainly due to higher employee-related costs.
Current report
Revenues increased 46.1% and 11.0% in the second quarter and the first six months of 2026, respectively, compared with the 2025 periods, primarily due to higher oil and gas revenues as well as increased coal revenues. The higher revenues were mainly attributable to increased commodity prices.
Current report
Receivables from third-party lessees for which we did not receive actual production information, either due to timing delays or due to the unavailability of data at the time when revenues are recognized, are estimated using expected sales volumes and estimated prices. The difference between our estimates and the actual amounts received is recorded in the period that payment is received from the third-party lessee. Revenue in the second quarter of 2026 included a $1.6 million favorable adjustment primarily related to first quarter 2026 pricing estimates. Revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2025 included a $1.5 million favorable adjustment.
Current report
Revenues increased in the second quarter and the first six months of 2026 compared to the 2025 periods, primarily due to higher restoration and reclamation service revenue at Mitigation Resources.
Current report
The operating loss increased in the second quarter and the first six months of 2026 compared to the 2025 periods, primarily due to $12.0 million of impairment charges related to certain solar development projects within ReGen Resources. See Note 5 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Item 1A Risk Factors on page 30 within this Form 10-Q for further discussion of the impairment charges and ReGen Resources, respectively.
Current report
While these long-term agreements and investments are intended to strengthen our earnings base over time, we continually evaluate whether individual projects or initiatives remain aligned with our strategic and financial objectives. As part of this process, changing market conditions, regulatory developments and project-specific challenges led us to reassess certain solar investments during the 2026 second quarter. In early July, we began pursuing a range of alternatives, including potential asset sales, contract amendments and other strategic actions, to monetize these investments and reduce our exposure. Depending on the outcome of these activities, additional curtailment costs could be incurred.
Current report
Strong first-half 2026 operating performance across our reportable segments is expected to drive year‑over‑year improvements in full-year 2026 Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the solar impairment charges and a $7.8 million pre-tax pension settlement charge recorded in 2025. While we expect Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to remain strong in the second half of 2026, growth is expected to moderate relative to both the first half of 2026 and prior-year periods.
Current report
We also expect second-half consolidated operating profit and net income to decline from first-half 2026 and prior-year levels. Expectations for lower second-half operating profit are primarily driven by potential additional solar project curtailment costs and expected inventory write-downs at MLMC. Given the effect of the realized and anticipated 2026 charges, we expect full-year operating profit and net income will be significantly lower than in 2025. Comparisons to prior-year net income also reflect a $6.0 million after-tax pension settlement charge recognized in the second half of 2025.
Current report
At our Utility Coal Mining segment, operated by North American Coal, full-year customer demand is expected to be comparable and operating profit is expected to increase year over year due to a shift in focus to reclamation activities in the first half of 2026. During the second half of 2026, customer demand is expected to decline modestly compared with the prior-year period, provided MLMC's customer's power plant operates as currently planned. Operating results at MLMC are expected to decline from the first half of 2026, particularly in the third quarter, due to lower customer demand, higher diesel fuel costs and an anticipated inventory impairment charge. A higher contractually determined per ton sales price is anticipated to mitigate the lower demand. Earnings at the unconsolidated mining operations are also expected to decline primarily due to reclamation services at Sabine concluding as of September 30, 2026.
Current report
Looking ahead to 2027, overall customer demand for coal is expected to remain consistent with 2026, while profitability is expected to improve. This increase is driven by anticipated improvements at MLMC if the customer's power plant is able to operate more consistently, as well as continued stable earnings at our unconsolidated operations. Anticipated improved results at the remaining unconsolidated mining locations should mostly offset the absence of reclamation income at Sabine.
Current report
We expect significant operating profit improvement in the Contract Mining segment in 2027. This growth is driven by a full year of the dragline services contract in Palm Beach County, Florida, and contributions from operations at the Arizona quarry as well as potential new deals in the pipeline.
Current report
We remain confident in our ability to deliver improving results and increasing cash flow over time. Earnings are expected to benefit from continued expansion in Contract Mining and Mitigation Resources, along with improved operating performance across our other businesses. Looking ahead, as our recent investments mature, they are expected to support sustained earnings growth and stronger cash flow.

First Quarter of 2026 Compared with First Quarter of 2025
Previous report
Other expense, net
Previous report
The $7.4 million favorable change in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to changes in operating assets and liabilities. This improvement was mainly attributable to an increase in Accounts payable during the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to purchases related to ReGen Resources' solar projects, whereas Accounts payable decreased during the first quarter of 2025 due to the timing of expenditures in the Coal Mining and Contract Mining segments. In addition, a decrease in Accounts receivable, mainly attributable to lower revenues at MLMC, contributed to the improvement but was partially offset by cash payments associated with reclamation work at MLMC during the first quarter of 2026.

The results of operations for the Contract Mining segment were as follows for the three months ended March 31:
Previous report
Operating profit improved by $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared with the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to increases in gross profit and earnings of unconsolidated operations. These improvements were mainly the result of an increase in tons delivered, improved margins at limestone quarries and contributions from a new dragline mining service contract, partially offset by lower profit on part sales.
Previous report
Revenues decreased 12.4% in the first quarter of 2026 compared with the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to lower natural gas revenue as a result of decreased production.
Previous report
Operating profit decreased by $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared with the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and lower gross profit. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to higher employee-related costs. The decrease in gross profit was mainly due to lower production, partially offset by a decrease in depletion expense.
Previous report
The operating loss increased in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to higher operating expenses at Mitigation Resources and a $0.5 million long-lived asset impairment charge for an office building in North Dakota that is held for sale.
Previous report
At our Utility Coal Mining segment, operated by North American Coal, we expect a meaningful increase in operating profit compared with 2025, primarily in the first half of 2026. We anticipate improved results at MLMC if the customer's power plant is able to operate as planned. An expected increase in the contractually determined per ton sales price and a lower cost per ton delivered are also anticipated to contribute to this improvement. We expect these operating profit improvements to be partly offset by lower earnings at the unconsolidated mining operations due to reduced income associated with the wind down of reclamation services at Sabine.

We evaluate and update our estimated annual effective income tax rate on a quarterly basis based on current and forecasted operating results and tax laws. Historically, our actual effective tax rates have differed from the statutory effective tax rate primarily due to the benefit received from percentage depletion. The effective rate benefit from percentage depletion varies based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings compared to projections of earnings between entities that benefit from percentage depletion and those that do not, and as such the effective tax rate may vary quarterly and may make quarterly comparisons not meaningful. The benefit of percentage depletion is not directly related to the amount of consolidated pre-tax income recorded in a period.

When income tax expense is recorded, the benefit from percentage depletion decreases the effective income tax rate, while the effect is to increase the effective income tax rate when a benefit for income taxes is recorded. Each quarter, we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and the cumulative impact of the change in the estimated annual effective tax rate is recorded, which can make quarterly comparisons not meaningful.

During the first quarter of 2026, MLMC's customer's power plant experienced a maintenance outage. As a result, revenues decreased 13.2% in the first quarter of 2026 compared with the first quarter of 2025 due to lower customer requirements. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the contractually determined per ton sales price at MLMC.
Current wording
During the 2026 periods, MLMC's customer's power plant experienced unplanned outages and maintenance issues which resulted in lower customer requirements. As a result, revenues decreased 25.0% and 20.3% in the second quarter of 2026 and the first six months of 2026, respectively, compared with the 2025 periods. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the contractually determined per ton sales price.
Previous wording
Operating profit increased by $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared with the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to a reduction in cost per ton delivered at MLMC. Lower demand during the Red Hills Power Plant outage resulted in a shift of certain costs from inventory and cost of sales to reduce MLMC’s asset retirement obligation, which favorably impacted quarterly results. In addition, the first quarter of 2025 included a $3.0 million inventory impairment charge to write down MLMC's coal inventory to its net realizable value.
Current wording
The improvements in gross profit (loss) were primarily due to a reduction in cost per ton delivered and an increase in the contractually determined sales price at MLMC. Lower customer demand resulting from outages and maintenance issues at the Red Hills Power Plant resulted in a shift of certain costs from inventory and cost of sales to reduce MLMC’s asset retirement obligation, which favorably impacted 2026 results. In addition, the second quarter of 2025 and the first six months of 2025 included a $1.3 million and a $4.3 million inventory impairment charge, respectively, to write down MLMC's coal inventory to its net realizable value.
Previous wording

Revenues excluding reimbursable costs increased 31.7% in the first quarter of 2026 compared with the 2025 period primarily due to a new dragline mining service contract as well as higher customer requirements at the consolidated limestone quarries. Reimbursable costs have an offsetting amount in cost of sales and have no impact on gross profit.
Current wording
Revenues excluding reimbursable costs increased 34.5% and 33.1% in the second quarter and the first six months of 2026, respectively, compared with the 2025 periods, primarily due to the commencement and ramp up of a new dragline mining services contract during 2026 as well as higher customer requirements at the consolidated limestone quarries. Reimbursable costs have an offsetting amount in cost of sales and have no impact on gross profit.
Previous wording
The improved margins were partially due to $0.9 million in lower depreciation expense. Effective January 1, 2026, the Company’s Contract Mining segment changed its depreciation method for certain assets (primarily draglines and other large mining equipment) from the straight-line method to the units-of-production method. See Note 1 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of this change.

These decreases were partially offset by an improvement in earnings of unconsolidated operations related to an additional investment in Eiger Resources during the fourth quarter of 2024. Due to the timing and availability of financial information, earnings or losses from this investment are recorded on a one quarter lag.
Current wording
Operating profit increased by $1.5 million and $1.4 million in the second quarter and the first six months of 2026, respectively, compared with the 2025 periods, primarily due to higher gross profit mainly attributable to favorable commodity prices. These improvements were partially offset by losses from unconsolidated operations related to an investment in Eiger Resources. The unfavorable change in Eiger's results was primarily attributable to commodity hedge positions rather than underlying production. Due to the timing and availability of financial information, earnings or losses from this investment are recorded on a one quarter lag.

Our foundation rests on a stable base of long-term coal-mining contracts and legacy mineral and royalty assets, which generate dependable recurring cash flows. As new long-term contracts and investments are added across the Company, these new multi-year agreements create a “layering effect" as their contributions compound. The momentum our operations experienced in the second half of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026 is expected to continue throughout the remainder of 2026, resulting in meaningful year‑over‑year improvements in consolidated operating profit, net income and Adjusted EBITDA. Excluding the effect of a $6 million after-tax pension settlement charge in 2025, year‑over‑year growth is expected to moderate in the second half of 2026 as anticipated results are compared against stronger prior-year operational performance.

Previous wording
As a result of earnings contributions from new contracts and continued momentum from 2025 activities, we anticipate a substantial year-over-year increase in operating profit and Segment Adjusted EBITDA in the Contract Mining segment.
Current wording
As a result of earnings contributions from new contracts, we anticipate substantial year-over-year growth in Contract Mining operating profit and Segment Adjusted EBITDA for both the second half and full year of 2026. Second-half results are expected to moderate from the strong first-half levels as customer demand is projected to decline, primarily in the fourth quarter.
Previous wording
The Minerals and Royalties segment, managed by Catapult, has constructed a high-quality, diversified portfolio of oil and gas mineral and royalty interests in the United States. The Catapult team is expanding its portfolio by leveraging a data-driven approach to capital deployment that incorporates a longer-term view of production and development. This segment also holds a meaningful equity investment in a company that has operating and non-operating working interests in oil and natural gas assets. Anticipated increases in income from our equity holding combined with higher oil prices are expected to be more than offset by anticipated production declines and a changing mix of production and development activity, resulting in an overall year-over-year decrease in Minerals and Royalties' operating profit and Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Changes in commodity prices or production and development assumptions, including as a result of the ongoing Middle East conflict, could alter current expectations.

The Catapult team is expanding its portfolio by leveraging a data-driven approach to capital deployment that incorporates a longer-term view of production and development. This segment also holds a meaningful equity investment in Eiger Resources that has working interests in oil and natural gas assets. Anticipated increases in income from Eiger Resources and the benefit of higher oil prices are projected to be more than offset by anticipated production declines and a changing mix of production and development activity. As a result, operating profit and Segment Adjusted EBITDA are expected to decline compared with the first half of 2026 as well as the second-half and full-year 2025. The Minerals and Royalties segment is projected to continue generating meaningful earnings and cash flow in 2027, while operating profit is expected to moderate primarily due to normal production declines and a continuation of the current moderate pace of domestic development activity. Changes in commodity prices or production and development assumptions, including effects of the ongoing Middle East conflict, could alter current expectations.

We continue to invest in our businesses to support future growth. Capital expenditures totaled $33 million in the first quarter of 2026. We anticipate additional spending of up to $57 million over the remainder of the year, primarily for business development opportunities. These expenditures will be made only if projects meet our growth investment criteria. As a result, we anticipate a greater use of cash before financing in 2026 compared with 2025.
Current wording
We continue to invest in our businesses to support future growth. Based on the current project pipeline, we anticipate investing up to $35 million in the remainder of the year, primarily for business development opportunities. These expenditures will be made only if projects meet our disciplined capital investment criteria. While we anticipate a moderate year-over-year increase in cash generated from operations, cash flow before financing is projected to remain a use of cash in 2026, reflecting our planned investment activity. We expect full-year 2026 cash flow before financing to improve modestly over 2025, and continue to improve into 2027.
