The company announced domestic sales commitments of 3.5 million tons for 2027 and issued 2027 operational guidance for total shipments of 14.3 million‑15.7 million tons and coal‑sale costs of $104‑$110 per ton. CEO Andy Eidson noted ongoing cost pressures and damage to a stacker‑reclaimer at Dominion Terminal Associates, but said no significant capital outlays are expected for the replacement.
