Current report
We are a dual platform critical mineral company that is both an operator and developer of high-quality, low-cost metallurgical coal in southern West Virginia and southwestern Virginia, and a developing producer of coal, rare earth and critical minerals in Wyoming. Our metallurgical coal development portfolio primarily includes the following properties: Elk Creek, Berwind, Knox Creek, and Maben. We believe each of these properties possesses geologic and logistical advantages that make our coal among the lowest delivered-cost U.S. metallurgical coal to our domestic customer base, North American blast furnace steel mills and coke plants, as well as to international metallurgical coal consumers. In mid-2025, we initiated development of our rare earth element and critical mineral operations near Sheridan, Wyoming (the “Brook Mine”). The Brook Mine initially produced representative ore material to serve as feedstock for testing, with the goal of demonstrating the viability of processing rare earth elements and critical minerals at a full-scale commercial facility and ultimately establishing mineral reserves and resources. Contiguous to the Brook Mine, the Company operates a carbon research facility related to the production of advanced carbon products and materials from coal.
Current report
Our reportable segments, which are primarily based on the Company’s internal organizational structure and types of controlled mineral deposits, are its two operating segments—Metallurgical Coal and Rare Earths and Critical Minerals. Where applicable, prior period amounts have been recast to conform to this segment reporting structure, which was modified during the third quarter of 2025.
Current report
Metallurgical Coal Segment
Current report
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we sold 3.8 million tons of coal and recognized $536.6 million of revenue. Of this amount, 37% of our revenue was from sales into North American markets, including Canada, and 63% of our revenue was from sales into export markets. During the same period of 2024, we sold 4.0 million tons of coal and recognized $666.3 million of revenue, of which 33% was from sales into North American markets, including Canada, and 67% was from sales into export markets. Sales into export markets, which often include index-based pricing, generally have greater exposure to variability in pricing from period to period. The Company’s exports have not been materially delayed or otherwise affected by recent severe weather events, dockworker labor disputes, or recently enacted U.S. tariffs.
Current report
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding performance obligations of 1.1 million tons for contracts with fixed sales prices averaging $142 per ton, excluding freight, as well as 1.2 million tons for contracts with index-based pricing mechanisms. The Company expects to satisfy approximately 97% of the committed tons in 2026 and the remainder in 2027. Refer to Note 10—Revenues in Item 8, Part II for additional information.
Current report
Rare Earths and Critical Minerals Segment
Current report
Our ongoing business development efforts are focused on the timely and prudent advancement of our rare earth elements and critical minerals operations, the establishment of associated processing facilities and the production of rare earth element minerals and coal-to-carbon based products and critical minerals products.
Current report
We plan to target the processing and production of a number of rare earth elements and critical minerals which include heavy magnetic rare earth elements, like terbium and dysprosium, and critical minerals, like gallium, germanium and scandium which are, from time to time subject to strict export licensing requirements and changing destination-specific restrictions (including export bans or restrictions to the United States) imposed by the Chinese government. These planned initiatives provide substantial growth opportunities in future periods.
Current report
In 2023, we announced the discovery of a major deposit of primary magnetic rare earth elements and critical minerals at our mine, the Brook Mine near Sheridan, Wyoming. The Brook Mine rare earth elements and critical minerals site has what we believe to be the largest unconventional deposit of rare earth elements and critical minerals discovered to date in the United States, as well as the first new rare earth elements mine in the United States in 70 years. We had a ribbon cutting and groundbreaking at the Brook Mine in July 2025 and the overall development of this mine and processing project is proceeding.
Current report
Since the July groundbreaking of the Brook Mine, we have rapidly moved to build on this momentum to transition into what we believe will be the nation’s first dual platform critical minerals company focused on both metallurgical coal and rare earth elements and critical minerals. In July 2025, the Fluor Corporation issued a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) which noted both the technical and economic viability of the Brook Mine based on its findings and the product pricing information provided by the Company.
Current report
Contiguous to the Wyoming mine, we operate a carbon research facility called the iCAM Research Center which is related to the production of high value advanced carbon products and materials from coal. In connection with these activities, we hold a body of more than 70 intellectual property patents and pending applications, exclusive licensing agreements and various trademarks.
Current report
To support the expansion of our rare earth elements and critical minerals operations, we plan to actively engage with federal and state officials to expand the existing approved Brook Mine permit covering roughly 4,500 acres to include our entire approximately 15,800 acres of control. Our commercial processing facility will be similarly designed to increase its processing capacity and accommodate higher levels of production.
Current report
Before advancing to a full-scale commercial plant, we will test various processes at a pilot facility to be located at the Brook Mine site near our iCAM Research Center outside Sheridan. In addition, we received a $6.1 million matching grant from the Wyoming Energy Authority’s Energy Matching Fund to be applied toward development of the pilot facility.
Current report
Based on pilot testing results, we expect to proceed to engineering and designing the full commercial plant, with a construction period to be validated and updated upon the completion of a pre-feasibility study to be followed by a subsequent two-year shakedown period for the plant to be optimized to reach full steady-state capacity.
Current report
We will also continue advancing geological work to refine our understanding of the deposit, with targeted infill drilling to tighten spacing, enhance grade control, and improve resource classification. We are also engaged in expansion drilling outside the existing permit boundary and into deeper formations.
Current report
On September 17, 2025, we received a new geological TRS from Weir, updated from the March 2025 study. As a result, management has undertaken a revised mine plan designed around a higher cutoff concentration grade for the Brook Mine deposit. The Brook Mine represents a geologically unique rare earth elements deposit located along the northwestern margin of the Powder River Basin. Stratigraphy in the area is steeply dipping and intersected by multiple fault and fracture systems, which likely facilitated secondary mobilization and concentration of rare earth elements via
Current report
fluid flow, enriching favorable coal and associated carbonaceous materials. Given these factors, similar rare earth element grades are not expected to be repeatable elsewhere within the Powder River Basin.
Current report
While current drilling and core sampling have focused within our initial 4,500-acre permitted area, we control and own all coal and other minerals on an additional roughly 11,500 acres of contiguous land. Historic lithologic and wireline logs suggest these areas share similar geologic characteristics. Multiple high-grade assay results near the existing permit boundary reinforce the expectation that rare earth elements mineralization extends beyond the current permitted area.
Current report
To support our transition and growth plans, in July 2025, the Company issued $65.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2030 Senior Notes and, in early August 2025, we raised approximately $200.0 million from an offering of our Class A common stock (before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company). Subsequently, in November 2025, the Company issued $345.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2031 Convertible Senior Notes, and in December 2025, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement that increased our available revolving credit commitments to $500 million (comprising an initial $350 million asset based revolving commitment plus a $150 million incremental accordion feature) and extended the stated maturity of the credit facility to December 30, 2030 (subject to a springing maturity tied to convertible indebtedness).The commitments under the previous Revolving Credit Agreement were $200 million with a $75 million accordion feature. We believe these capital raises and increased liquidity have positioned us to more effectively implement our evolution into a dual platform critical minerals company.
Current report
The timeline to production and expanded production for our rare earth elements and critical minerals initiatives is subject to obtaining all required federal, state, and local permits and licenses and complying with applicable regulatory requirements, as the project is designed and developed without encountering unforeseen delays. Critical mineral production, including mill throughput and feed grades, is subject to further technical validation, including additional infill and step-out drilling, geological modeling, mine planning, and metallurgical testing. We intend to pursue these activities in parallel with our ongoing development plans to support the timely and prudent advancement of the Brook Mine and associated processing facilities.
Current report
We have also made notable additions to our executive management team in 2025 to lead in the development of the Rare Earths and Critical Minerals segment as we continue to refine mineral recovery, extraction methodology, and processing capacity assumptions within the mine plan and flowsheet. To assist in the continued development of the project, the Company has officially retained Hatch Ltd. to lead its ongoing pre-feasibility study. Hatch was selected for its technical expertise in rare earth element processing and will oversee test work, pilot plant design, and process optimization. This pre-feasibility study is expected to provide key information for future permitting, investment, and offtake discussions aligning with the Company’s strategy to accelerate project development.
Current report
Recently, the Company has developed a fundamental alternative flowsheet design for the processing of its rare earth elements and critical minerals from coal deposits. This process is both proprietary and patent-pending and has been developed by our new internal critical minerals processing team. This design improves upon the solvent extraction processing techniques previously modeled and outlined in the PEA prepared in July 2025 by the Fluor Corporation. Independent third-party testing, design, optimization and preparation of detailed economics for the change in flowsheet design, including a revised PEA being prepared by Hatch, are in process. This PEA will generate revised economics utilizing the new flowsheet. As part of this new flowsheet analysis, Hatch is expected to provide a pilot plant re-design of the interior infrastructure of the pilot plant. The subsequent more detailed pre-feasibility study, also being prepared by Hatch, is now expected for completion by late 2026.
Current report
In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company announced an initiative to establish a Strategic Critical Minerals Terminal ("SCMT") at the Brook Mine. This initiative is being pursued to help the private and public sector overcome supply chain risks and ensure uninterrupted access to strategic materials. The SCMT is designed to position us to become the most comprehensive, vertically integrated upstream producer of critical minerals and rare earth elements in the United States. The SCMT is expected to provide long-term strategic stockpiling, storage, and inventory management solutions for our broad basket of critical minerals and rare earths.
Current report
During 2025, our segment capital expenditures were $4.5 million compared to $0.2 million in 2024. The increase in capital expenditures was attributable to the continued expansion of the Brook Mine project.
Current report
The activities at the Brook Mine may result in a material change to our operating results and financial condition in future periods as the project continues to develop. The future financial statement impact is largely dependent on the development activities described above and the subsequent achievement of commercial production. At this time, we are unable to estimate the potential financial impact to future periods.

Current report
Net cash from financing activities was $539.8 million higher in 2025 versus 2024, primarily due to approximately $398.5 million in long-term debt proceeds, net of $11.5 million in issuance costs, partially offset by $32.8 million of capped call purchases in conjunction with the Company’s convertible debt issuance during the period. The Company repaid $34.5 million in previously existing long-term debt during 2025. In 2024, the Company issued long-term debt resulting in net cash proceeds of $55.2 million and had net revolver repayments of 56.5 million. In addition, the Company completed a common stock offering during 2025 resulting in $189.0 million in cash inflows during the period and paid approximately $20.3 million less cash dividends in 2025 compared to 2024.
Current report
The Company’s net outstanding debt increased $363.2 million in 2025 due to the issuance of $65.0 million of 8.250% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2030 (the 2030 Senior Notes), offset by the repayment of $34.5 million of 9.00% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026, and $345.0 million of 0.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the 2031 Convertible Senior Notes). Revolver borrowings, which are typically used for the management of our normal operating cash position, were repaid in full at December 31, 2025.
Current report
The Company completed the public offering of 2030 Senior Notes on July 31, 2025 at an aggregate principal amount of $57.0 million with an option for the underwriters to purchase an additional $8 million of aggregate principal, which was exercised by the underwriters on August 1, 2025. The 2030 Senior Notes mature on July 31, 2030, unless redeemed prior to maturity and bear interest at a rate of 8.25% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on the 30th day of January, April, July and October of each year, commencing on October 30, 2025. The Company may redeem the 2030 Senior Notes in whole or in part, at the Company’s option, at any time on or after July 31, 2027, or upon certain change of control events, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of redemption. Issuance-related costs for the 2030 Senior Notes included underwriters’ fees, attorney, accounting and filing costs totaling $3.5 million. The net proceeds were used to redeem all of the Company’s outstanding 9.00% Senior Notes Due 2026, with remaining proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes, including funding the acceleration of rare earth development, funding future investments, making capital expenditures, and funding working capital.
Current report
The Company completed the public offering of 2031 Convertible Senior Notes on November 4, 2025 at an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million with an option for the underwriters to purchase an additional $45.0 million of aggregate principal, which was exercised by the underwriters on November 5, 2025. The 2031 Convertible Senior Notes do not bear regular interest and the principal amount does not accrete. The 2031 Convertible Senior Notes mature on November 1, 2031, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Issuance-related costs for the 2031 Convertible Senior Notes included underwriters’ fees, attorney, accounting and filing costs totaling $10.5 million. Approximately $32.8 million of the net proceeds were used to fund the cost of entering into capped call transactions in conjunction with the issuance. We intend to use the remainder of the net proceeds to fund the development of our rare earth elements and critical minerals project, for strategic growth opportunities and for general corporate purposes.

Net cash used for financing activities was $31.7 million lower in 2024 versus 2023, which was driven by debt-related activities. The Company repaid $38.2 million more acquisition-related financing in 2023 compared to 2024. In addition, the Company issued new senior notes during 2024 resulting in net cash proceeds of $55.2 million and paid off its outstanding revolver borrowings from 2023 in the amount of $42.5 million while continuing to pay down its finance leases and equipment loans. Equity-related activities, in total, were nearly flat year to year despite the Company’s declaration of non-cash dividends to its Class A and Class B shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2024 as discussed earlier. The Company began paying cash dividends on Class B common stock during the third quarter of 2023 shortly after the initial distribution discussed below.
Previous report
The Company’s outstanding debt decreased slightly by $1.6 million in 2024 as repayments of revolver borrowings, acquisition-related debt, and equipment loans were nearly offset by new senior note debt issued in the fourth quarter of 2024. Revolver borrowings, which are typically used for the management of our normal operating cash position, were repaid in full at December 31, 2024. The Company has also repaid in full all financing related to its previous acquisitions of Ramaco Coal and Maben Coal.
Previous report
The Company completed a debt offering of $57.5 million, in the aggregate, of the 8.375% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2029 (the “Senior Notes due 2029”). The Company incurred transaction-related fees of $2.3 million and third-party debt issuance costs of $0.8 million (including a small portion not yet funded at December 31, 2024). These notes mature on November 30, 2029, unless redeemed prior to maturity. The Senior Notes due 2029 bear interest at a rate of 8.375% per annum, which is payable quarterly in arrears. The proceeds, net of transaction fees and debt issuance costs, are for general corporate purposes, including funding future investments, making capital expenditures, and funding working capital.

Reworded paragraphs (41)
Previous wording
Our primary source of revenue is the sale of metallurgical coal. We are a pure-play metallurgical coal company with 66 million reserve tons and 1,352 million measured and indicated resource tons of high-quality metallurgical coal. Our plan is to continue development of our existing properties and grow annual production over the next few years to approximately seven million clean tons of metallurgical coal, subject to market conditions, permitting and additional capital deployment in the medium-term. We may make acquisitions of reserves or infrastructure that continue our focus on advantaged geology and lower costs.
Current wording
Our primary source of revenue is the sale of metallurgical coal. We maintain 85 million reserve tons and 1,337 million measured and indicated resource tons of high-quality metallurgical coal. Our plan is to continue the development of our existing properties and grow annual production over the next few years to possibly as much as seven million clean tons of metallurgical coal annually, subject to market conditions, permitting and additional capital deployment in the medium-term. We may also acquire additional reserves or infrastructure that contribute to our focus on advantaged geology and lower costs.
Previous wording
Global metallurgical coal markets softened in 2024 due to constrained economic growth in some regions of the world and continued conflict overseas. The global steel market experienced slower growth, especially in China, resulting in elevated levels of Chinese steel exports. These conditions have led steel companies to both cut back on their own production and to reduce the price they are willing to pay for their metallurgical coal feedstock. For 2025, overall steel demand will likely remain weak in the near term; however, supply cuts may occur for higher cost operations absent a significant upward movement in pricing. Longer term, the Company believes that limited global investment in new coking coal production capacity, the industrialization of emerging economies, expansion of urbanization globally, and an eventual return to economic growth will support coking coal markets overall.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses. SG&A expenses were $69.4 million for 2025 compared to $49.3 million for 2024. The increase in 2025 compared to 2024 was driven by an increase of approximately $9.1 million in professional service expenses, a $5.2 million increase in internal labor costs and $7.1 million in development costs which are each mainly attributable to the development of our rare earth element and critical minerals operations.
Previous wording
Other income (expense), net. Other income, net was $4.4 million in 2024 compared to $18.3 million in 2023. The activity in 2024 was primarily related to the $2.2 million recovery of previously incurred demurrage and other transportation-related matters, a $1.2 million lost coal recovery claim, and an actuarial gain of $0.5 million associated with the Company’s occupational disease benefit obligation. The activity in 2023 was related mostly to insurance proceeds received in 2023 related to the 2022 Berwind ignition event that occurred in 2022 and the silo failure that occurred in 2018. The Company received proceeds of $17.0 million during 2023 and had accrued a recovery asset of $1.1 million in the previous period; thus, a gain of $15.9 million was recognized in 2023. This activity is not indicative of expected future results.
Current wording
Other income (expense), net. Other income, net was $1.6 million in 2025 compared to $4.4 million in 2024. The net decrease in 2025 compared to 2024 is primarily driven by the $2.2 million recovery of previously incurred demurrage and other transportation-related matters in 2024, a $1.2 million lost coal recovery claim in 2024, and an actuarial gain of $0.5 million associated with the Company’s occupational disease benefit obligation in 2024 compared to a $0.2 million actuarial loss in 2025.
Previous wording
*Interest expense, net.*Interest expense, net was approximately $6.1 million in 2024 as compared to $8.9 million in 2023. The decrease in net interest expense in 2024 was primarily due to the repayment of debt associated with the previous acquisitions of Ramaco Coal and Maben Coal.
Current wording
*Interest expense, net.*Interest expense, net was approximately $7.8 million in 2025 as compared to $6.1 million in 2024. The increase in net interest expense in 2025 was primarily due to the issuance of our Senior Notes due 2029 in late 2024.
Previous wording
*Income tax expense.*We recognized income tax expense of $3.7 million and $22.4 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively. The lower amount in 2024 was largely due to the decrease in income before taxes. Refer to Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part I in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for an explanation of differences versus the statutory rate of 21%.
Current wording
*Income tax expense.*We recognized an income tax benefit of $10.7 million compared to an expense of $3.7 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively, driven by the decrease in income before taxes.

Revenue. Coal sales revenue for full-year 2024 was $666.3 million, approximately 4% lower than 2023, despite the increase in tons sold, due to the negative impact of pricing. The 15% increase in tons sold occurred in both North America and export markets, with export volumes increasing by 18% and North America volumes increasing by 10%. The volume increase was aided by the Company’s increased capacity for production achieved during late 2023. Revenue per ton sold decreased 17% from $201 per ton for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $167 per ton for year ended December 31, 2024 and was driven by the variability in index-based pricing for export sales. Revenue per ton sold (FOB mine), a non-GAAP measure which excludes transportation revenues and demurrage, decreased 18% from $170 per ton for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $140 per ton for the year ended December 31, 2024. Refer toNon-GAAP Financial Measures later in Item 2 for more information regarding this measure. U.S. metallurgical coal price indices have fallen by roughly 32% on a year-to-date basis driven by the macroeconomic conditions discussed previously. We expect metallurgical coal prices to remain volatile in the near term.
Current wording
Revenue. Coal sales for the full-year 2025 were $536.6 million, approximately 19% lower than the same period in 2024 driven by the negative impact of pricing and a 4% decrease in tons sold. The decrease in tons sold is attributable to export markets, which decreased by 6% primarily due to timing differences in shipments to foreign customers. Revenue per ton sold decreased 16% from $167 per ton to $140 per ton while revenue per ton sold (FOB mine), a non-GAAP measure which excludes transportation revenues and demurrage, also decreased 14% from $140 per ton to $120 per ton. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures later in Item 2 for more information regarding this measure. The decrease in the Company’s revenue per ton sold measures was driven by the variability in index-based pricing for export sales. We expect metallurgical coal prices to remain volatile in the near term.
Previous wording
*Cost of sales.*Our cost of sales totaled $533.3 million for full-year 2024, approximately 8% higher than 2023, due to the increase in tons sold discussed above. Cost of sales per ton sold decreased 6% from $143 per ton in 2023 to $134 per ton in 2024. Cash cost per ton sold (FOB mine), a non-GAAP measure which excludes transportation costs, alternative mineral development costs, and idle mine costs, decreased 5% from $110 per ton in 2023 to $105 per ton in 2024. Mine costs for 2024 were impacted negatively by challenging geology and labor constraints in the first quarter of 2024 but improved thereafter due to efficiencies gained from increased production compared to 2023.
Current wording
*Cost of sales.*Our cost of coal sales for the full-year was $453.4 million, approximately 14% lower than the same period in 2024 driven by the closure of the Jawbone mine in Q3 2024 and the idling of the Rockhouse Eagle mine and Laurel Fork mine in 2025. In addition, trucking costs were reduced at the Maben complex subsequent to commissioning in Q4 2024. Cost of sales per ton sold decreased 11% from $132 per ton to $118 per ton. Cash cost per ton sold (FOB mine), a non-GAAP measure which excludes transportation costs and idle mine costs, decreased 7% from $105 per ton

Non-GAAP cash cost per ton sold. Non-GAAP cash cost per ton sold (FOB mine) is calculated as cash cost of sales less transportation costs, alternative mineral development costs, and idle and other costs, divided by tons sold. We believe cash cost per ton sold provides useful information to investors as it enables investors to compare our cash cost per ton against similar measures made by other publicly-traded coal companies and more effectively monitor changes in coal cost from period to period excluding the impact of transportation costs which are beyond our control. The adjustments made to arrive at these measures are significant in understanding and assessing our financial performance. Cash cost per ton sold (FOB mine) is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with U.S. GAAP and, therefore, should not be considered as a substitute to cost of sales under U.S. GAAP.

Cash flows provided by operating activities during 2024 decreased $48.4 million versus the prior year driven by lower cash earnings. Changes in operating assets and liabilities were favorable on a net basis versus the prior year, which was driven by receivables collections and was largely due to fluctuations in fourth quarter revenues for 2024, 2023, and 2022.
Current wording
Cash flows provided by operating activities during 2025 decreased $110.7 million versus the prior year driven by lower cash earnings. Changes in operating assets and liabilities were unfavorable on a net basis by approximately $39.4 million compared to the prior year, which was driven by increases to inventory in the current year.
Previous wording
Net cash used for investing activities during 2024 decreased slightly by $1.4 million versus the prior year primarily due to lower capital expenditures of $14.1 million offset partially by $11.2 million of insurance proceeds received in 2023 related to previous investments. The decrease in capital expenditures was due to the Company’s continued progress related to strategic growth projects and, therefore, the need for less growth capital expenditures. The $11.2 million of insurance proceeds received during 2023 related to property, plant, and equipment claims from the 2022 Berwind ignition event and 2018 silo failure.
Current wording
Net cash used for investing activities during 2025 increased by $12.8 million versus the prior year primarily due to land and mineral acquisitions of approximately $18.5 million in 2025, offset by $4.5 million lower capital expenditures in 2025 compared to 2024. The decrease in capital expenditures was due to the Company’s continued progress related to strategic growth projects and, therefore, the need for less growth capital expenditures.

Estimating the ARO requires management to make estimates and judgments regarding timing and existence of a liability, as well as what constitutes adequate restoration. Inherent in the fair value calculation are numerous assumptions and judgments including the ultimate costs, inflation factors, credit-adjusted discount rates, and the timing of the related cash flows. On at least an annual basis, we review our ARO liabilities and make necessary adjustments for significant increases in disturbed acreage, mining permit changes, significant mine plan revisions, and changes in cost estimates or timing of performance. To the extent future revisions are made to the ARO liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the related asset.
