Result Drivers
LOWER COAL PRICING - Revenue decline was primarily driven by lower coal sales pricing, partly due to the expiration of higher-priced legacy contracts
ASSET IMPAIRMENT & LOWER COAL SALES - Net income was impacted by lower coal sales, higher depreciation, a decrease in the fair value of digital assets, and a $37.8 million non-cash asset impairment charge related to ceasing longwall production at Mettiki
OIL & GAS ROYALTY GROWTH - Record oil & gas royalty revenues and volumes, up 14.6% and 16.1% year-over-year, driven by increased production and higher oil prices
