Management Comments
Jim Grech
“Amid volatility in global energy markets, our thermal segments benefited from strong demand and higher realized pricing. While we have extended the Centurion commissioning period, due to temporary equipment and roof control challenges, we continue to advance toward full longwall production rates. Our first quarter results demonstrate the value of our diverse global platform and reflect the durability of coal’s role in providing reliable and affordable power.” “While this was not the start we had anticipated, we quickly mobilized the most experienced engineering and operating personnel to address the challenges. The team has responded safely and effectively, stabilizing performance and positioning the operation for increased production moving forward.”
