PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

### (1) Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Peabody Energy Corporation (PEC) and its consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates (along with PEC, the Company or Peabody). Interests in subsidiaries controlled by the Company are consolidated with any outside stockholder interests reflected as noncontrolling interests, except when the Company has an undivided interest in a joint venture. In those cases, the Company includes its proportionate share in the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the jointly controlled entities within each applicable line item of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. All intercompany transactions, profits and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. Balance sheet information presented herein as of December 31, 2025 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheet at that date. The Company’s consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2026.

### (2) Newly Adopted Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented

#### Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt. In November 2024, Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-04 was issued, which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. The amendments in this ASU affect entities that settle convertible debt instruments for which the conversion privileges were changed to induce conversion. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2026. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company completed an induced conversion of one of its convertible debt instruments. The induced conversion was accounted for in accordance with ASU 2024‑04, and the related impact has been reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the period.

#### Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented

Expense Disaggregation. In November 2024, ASU 2024-03 was issued, which requires public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The Company is required to adopt the amendments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The amendments should be applied prospectively, with a retrospective option. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects this ASU to only impact its disclosures with no impacts to its consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Government Grants. In December 2025, ASU 2025-10 was issued, which establishes guidance on the recognition, measurement and presentation of a government grant received by a business entity. U.S. GAAP did not provide such guidance, and many business entities have been analogizing to International Accounting Standard 20 or other guidance when accounting for government grants. The Company is required to adopt the amendments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028 and interim reporting periods within those periods. The amendments can be applied using a modified retrospective or retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company currently applies an accounting approach for government grants that is substantially aligned with the recognition and measurement provisions of the ASU. Accordingly, the Company does not expect adoption to materially affect the recognition, measurement or presentation of these balances.

PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Environmental Credits. In May 2026, ASU 2026-02 was issued, which establishes guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of environmental credits and environmental credit obligations. The Company is required to adopt the amendments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those years and must be applied on a retrospective basis by recognizing a cumulative effect to retained earnings. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will apply this guidance upon its adoption. The Company currently applies an accounting approach for environmental credits and environmental credit obligations that is substantially aligned with the recognition and measurement provisions of the ASU. Accordingly, the Company does not expect adoption to materially affect the recognition, measurement or presentation of these balances. The Company expects the principal impact of adoption will be the incremental disclosures required by the ASU.

### (3) Revenue Recognition

Refer to Note 1. “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, for the Company’s policies regarding “Revenue” and “Accounts receivable, net.”

### (6) Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements

#### Derivatives

From time to time, the Company may utilize various types of derivative instruments to manage its exposure to risks in the normal course of business, including (1) foreign currency exchange rate risk and the variability of cash flows associated with forecasted Australian dollar expenditures made in its Australian mining platform and (2) price risk of fluctuating coal prices related to forecasted sales or purchases of coal, or changes in the fair value of a fixed price physical sales contract. These risk management activities are actively monitored for compliance with the Company’s risk management policies.

On a limited basis, the Company engages in the direct and brokered trading of coal and freight-related contracts. Except those contracts for which the Company has elected to apply a normal purchases and normal sales exception, all derivative coal trading contracts are accounted for at fair value.

PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

#### Foreign Currency

The Company utilizes options and collars to hedge currency risk associated with anticipated Australian dollar operating expenditures. As of June 30, 2026, the Company held average rate options with an aggregate notional amount of $537.0 million Australian dollars to hedge currency risk associated with anticipated Australian dollar operating expenditures over the nine-month period ending March 31, 2027. The instruments entitle the Company to receive payment on the notional amount should the quarterly average Australian dollar-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate exceed amounts ranging from $0.71 to $0.77 over the nine-month period ending March 31, 2027. As of June 30, 2026, the Company also held purchased collars with an aggregate notional amount of $524.0 million Australian dollars related to anticipated Australian dollar operating expenditures during the nine-month period ending March 31, 2027. The purchased collars have a floor ranging from $0.60 to $0.67 and a ceiling ranging from $0.70 to $0.77, whereby the Company will incur a loss on the instruments for quarterly average Australian dollar-to-U.S. dollar exchange rates below the floor and a gain for quarterly average rates above the ceiling.

#### Tabular Derivatives Disclosures

The Company has master netting agreements with certain of its counterparties which allow for the settlement of contracts in an asset position with contracts in a liability position in the event of default or termination. Such netting arrangements reduce the Company’s credit exposure related to these counterparties. For classification purposes, the Company records the net fair value of all the positions with a given counterparty as a net asset or liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had a liability derivative comprised of foreign currency option contracts with a fair value of $1.0 million. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had an asset derivative comprised of foreign currency option contracts with a fair value of $2.7 million. The net amount of asset derivatives is included in “Other current assets” and the net amount of liability derivatives is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The Company does not seek cash flow hedge accounting treatment for its derivative financial instruments and, thus, changes in fair value are reflected in current earnings.

| Total |  | $7.2 | $(1.2) | $8.4 |

The Company classifies derivative-related activity within the “Cash Flows From Operating Activities” section of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

#### Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on the observability of the inputs utilized in the valuation. These levels include: Level 1 - inputs are quoted prices in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 - inputs are other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable through market-corroborated inputs; and Level 3 - inputs are unobservable, or observable but cannot be market-corroborated, requiring the Company to make assumptions about pricing by market participants.

PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The following tables set forth the hierarchy of the Company’s net (liability) asset positions for which fair value is measured on a recurring basis.

_June 30, 2026 · (Dollars in millions)_

| Line item | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Foreign currency option contracts | — | $(1.0) | — | $(1.0) |
| Total net liabilities | — | $(1.0) | — | $(1.0) |
|  | December 31, 2025 |  |  |  |

|  | (Dollars in millions) |  |  |  |
| Foreign currency option contracts | — | $2.7 | — | $2.7 |
| Total net assets | — | $2.7 | — | $2.7 |

For Level 1 and 2 financial assets and liabilities, the Company utilizes both direct and indirect observable price quotes, including interest rate yield curves, exchange indices, broker/dealer quotes, published indices, issuer spreads, benchmark securities and other market quotes. In the case of certain debt securities, fair value is provided by a third-party pricing service. Below is a summary of the Company’s valuation techniques for Level 1 and 2 financial assets and liabilities:

- Foreign currency option contracts are valued utilizing inputs obtained in quoted public markets (Level 2) except when credit and non-performance risk is considered to be a significant input, then the Company classifies such contracts as Level 3.

Other Financial Instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values for other financial instruments as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

- Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, including those within the Company’s accounts receivable securitization program, notes receivable and accounts payable have carrying values which approximate fair value due to the short maturity or the liquid nature of these instruments.
- Long-term debt fair value estimates are based on observed prices for securities when available (Level 2), and otherwise on estimated borrowing rates to discount the cash flows to their present value (Level 3).

Market risk associated with the Company’s fixed-rate long-term debt relates to the potential reduction in the fair value from an increase in interest rates. The fair value of debt, shown below, is principally based on reported market values and estimates based on interest rates, maturities, credit risk, underlying collateral and completed market transactions.

_(Dollars in millions)_

| Line item | June 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 |

| Net carrying amount | $339.0 | $336.4 |
| Estimated fair value | $353.7 | $557.8 |

The Company had no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The Company’s policy is to value all transfers between levels using the beginning of period valuation.

The Company identified certain assets with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $57 million at June 30, 2026 in its Other U.S. Thermal reportable segment whose recoverability is most sensitive to customer concentration risk.

### (8) Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate before remeasurement for the six months ended June 30, 2026 is based on the Company’s estimated full year effective tax rate, comprised of expected statutory tax provision, offset by foreign rate differential and changes in valuation allowance. The Company’s income tax benefits of $37.0 million and $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, included tax provisions of $0.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, related to the remeasurement of foreign income tax accounts. The Company’s income tax benefit of $53.0 million and income tax provision of $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, included tax provisions of $0.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, related to the remeasurement of foreign income tax accounts. Due to existing valuation allowances, the income tax (benefit) provision is primarily related to the results from the Company’s Australian operations.

### (9) Long-term Debt

#### Partial Repurchase of 2028 Convertible Notes

On June 2, 2026, through a private offering, the Company issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2031 Convertible Notes, as described below. The Company used the proceeds of the offering of the 2031 Convertible Notes, together with available cash, to repurchase $241.2 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 2028 Convertible Notes for consideration of $386.8 million. The repurchase of the existing notes was accounted for as an induced conversion in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 and ASU 2024-04. A portion of the consideration in excess of the amount issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms, $17.2 million, was recognized as “Induced conversion expense” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. The remaining excess of the consideration over the carrying value of the repurchased 2028 Convertible Notes on the date of repurchase of $131.1 million, which included unamortized debt issuance costs of $2.7 million, was recorded as “Additional paid-in capital” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

#### 2028 Convertible Notes

On March 1, 2022, through a private offering, the Company issued the 2028 Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $320.0 million. The 2028 Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are governed under an indenture, dated as of March 1, 2022 (the 2028 Indenture), between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee. During the second quarter of 2026, in connection with the issuance of the 2031 Convertible Notes, the Company used the proceeds therefrom and available cash to repurchase $241.2 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes as described above.

The remaining 2028 Convertible Notes will mature on March 1, 2028, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms. The 2028 Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.250% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year.

The initial conversion rate for the 2028 Convertible Notes was 50.3816 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes, which represented an initial conversion price of approximately $19.85 per share of the Company’s common stock. The terms of the 2028 Indenture require conversion rate adjustments upon the payment of dividends to holders of the Company’s common stock once such cumulative dividends impact the conversion rate by at least 1%. Effective November 13, 2025, the conversion rate was increased to 52.3853 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes, which represented an adjusted conversion price of approximately $19.09 per share. Under the applicable conversion rate formula, the cumulative $0.150 per share dividends declared and paid since the prior conversion rate adjustment yielded a revised conversion rate of 52.6686 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes, which did not meet the 1% threshold to impact the existing conversion rate of 52.3853. The conversion rate may be impacted prospectively, based upon cumulative dividends paid. The conversion rate is also subject to further adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the 2028 Indenture.

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company’s reported common stock prices prompted the conversion feature of the 2028 Convertible Notes. As a result, the 2028 Convertible Notes were convertible at the option of the holders during the second quarter of 2026, for which no conversion requests were received. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company’s reported common stock prices did not prompt the conversion feature of the 2028 Convertible Notes. As a result, the 2028 Convertible Notes will not be convertible during the third quarter of 2026.

As of June 30, 2026, the if-converted value of the 2028 Convertible Notes exceeded the principal amount by $16.6 million.

#### 2031 Convertible Notes

On June 2, 2026, through a private offering, the Company issued the 2031 Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million. The 2031 Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are governed under an indenture, dated June 2, 2026 (the 2031 Indenture), between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee.

The Company used the proceeds of the offering of the 2031 Convertible Notes to fund $16.7 million of capped call transactions, as discussed below, and together with available cash, to repurchase $241.2 million of its outstanding 2028 Convertible Notes, as described above. The Company capitalized $6.8 million of debt issuance costs related to the offering during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

The 2031 Convertible Notes will mature on June 1, 2031, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms. The 2031 Convertible Notes will bear interest from June 2, 2026 at a rate of 0.50% per year payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2026.

PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The 2031 Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders only in the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2026, if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (2) during the five consecutive business days immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (such five consecutive trading day period, the Measurement Period) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2031 Convertible Notes for each trading day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day; (3) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on the Company’s common stock; (4) if the Company calls such 2031 Convertible Notes for redemption; and (5) at any time from, and including, December 1, 2030 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date.

Upon conversion, the Company may satisfy its conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s election, in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions provided in the 2031 Indenture. The initial conversion rate for the 2031 Convertible Notes will be 26.0970 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2031 Convertible Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $38.32 per share of the Company’s common stock. The initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately 32.5% over the U.S. composite volume weighted average price of Peabody’s common stock from 9:30 a.m. through 4:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on May 28, 2026, which was $28.9197 per share. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the 2031 Indenture. If certain corporate events described in the 2031 Indenture occur prior to the maturity date, or the Company delivers a redemption notice (as described below), the conversion rate will be increased for a holder who elects to convert its 2031 Convertible Notes in connection with such corporate event or redemption notice, as the case may be, in certain circumstances.

The Company may not redeem the 2031 Convertible Notes prior to June 5, 2029, except in the event of a cleanup redemption (as defined below). The Company may redeem the 2031 Convertible Notes in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), at its option at any time, and from time to time, on or after June 5, 2029 and on or before the 31st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2031 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, if (i) the 2031 Convertible Notes are “freely tradable” (as defined in the 2031 Indenture), and all accrued and unpaid additional interest, if any, has been paid in full, as of the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (ii) the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (1) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (2) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. However, the Company may not redeem less than all of the outstanding 2031 Convertible Notes unless at least $75 million aggregate principal amount of 2031 Convertible Notes are outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time the Company sends the related redemption notice. No sinking fund is provided for the 2031 Convertible Notes.

Peabody may redeem for cash all, but not less than all, of the 2031 Convertible Notes at any time if (i) the 2031 Convertible Notes are “freely tradable” (as defined in the 2031 Indenture), and all accrued and unpaid additional interest, if any, has been paid in full, as of the date Peabody sends the related redemption notice; and (ii) the amount of the 2031 Convertible Notes that remains outstanding is less than 15% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Convertible Notes initially issued under the 2031 Indenture at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2031 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date (a cleanup redemption).

If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the 2031 Indenture), noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their 2031 Convertible Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2031 Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

#### Capped Call Transactions

In connection with the offering of the 2031 Convertible Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the Capped Call Transactions) with certain financial institutions. The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the 2031 Convertible Notes prior to May 30, 2030, and/or offset any potential cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of such converted 2031 Convertible Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price. The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions will initially be $50.6095 per share, which represents a premium of approximately 75.0% over the U.S. composite volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock from 9:30 a.m. through 4:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on May 28, 2026 (which was $28.9197 per share), and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions. The Capped Call Transactions will expire over a period of trading days beginning on April 17, 2030.

The Capped Call Transactions are accounted for as equity instruments in “Additional paid-in capital” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are not subsequently remeasured as long as they continue to meet the conditions for equity classification. Accordingly, the premiums paid for the Capped Call Transactions are recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and do not affect the Company’s basic or diluted earnings per share, although they are expected to reduce the potential economic dilution from any conversion of the 2031 Convertible Notes, subject to the cap.

#### Revolving Credit Facility

The Company established a revolving credit facility by entering into a credit agreement, dated as of January 18, 2024, as amended, (the Credit Agreement), by and among the Company, as borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. On June 9, 2026, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, permit the Australian Surety Bond Facilities (as defined and further described in Note 12. “Financial Instruments and Other Guarantees”). On June 30, 2026, the Company further amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) increase the revolving commitments under the Credit Agreement from an aggregate principal amount equal to $320.0 million to an aggregate principal amount equal to $400.0 million; (ii) extend the maturity date of the revolving commitments and any related loans (any such loans, the Revolving Loans) from January 18, 2028 to June 30, 2030; and (iii) decrease the interest rate applicable to the Revolving Loans from a rate equal to a secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) plus an applicable margin ranging from 3.50% to 4.25%, depending on the Company’s total net leverage ratio (as defined under the Credit Agreement) or a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.25%, at the Company’s option, to a rate equal to SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 3.25% to 4.00%, depending on the Company’s total net leverage ratio or a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.25% to 3.00%, at the Company’s option. After the June 30, 2026 amendment, letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement incur a combined fee equal to an applicable margin ranging from 3.25% to 4.00% plus a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum. Prior to the amendment, the combined fee was equal to an applicable margin ranging from 3.50% to 4.25% plus a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum. Unused capacity under the Credit Agreement bears a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum. The Company paid aggregate deferred financing costs of $5.6 million as part of the amendments during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

During the second quarter of 2026, the Company borrowed and repaid $110.0 million under the revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2026, the Credit Agreement was only utilized for letters of credit of $58.2 million. These letters of credit support the Company’s reclamation bonding requirements, lease obligations, insurance policies and various other performance guarantees as further described in Note 12. “Financial Instruments and Other Guarantees.” Availability under the revolving credit facility was $341.8 million at June 30, 2026.

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions (including compliance with financial ratios), may limit the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness, make certain restricted payments or investments, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, create or incur liens, and merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of their assets. The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries, as well as a pledge of two Australian subsidiaries.

### (10) Pension and Postretirement Benefit Costs

The components of net periodic pension, postretirement benefit and workers’ compensation costs, excluding the service cost for benefits earned, are included in “Net periodic benefit credit, excluding service cost” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company sponsors a qualified pension plan. Annual contributions to the qualified plan are made in accordance with minimum funding standards. Funding decisions also consider certain funded status thresholds defined by the Pension Protection Act of 2006. As of June 30, 2026, the qualified plan was expected to be at or above the Pension Protection Act thresholds. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company contributed $0.6 million to its qualified pension plan. The Company expects to contribute a total of $2.0 million to the qualified plan in 2026 to maintain these thresholds and meet minimum funding requirements.

Net periodic postretirement benefit credit included the following components:

The Company has established a Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association (VEBA) trust to pre-fund a portion of benefits for non-represented retirees. The Company does not expect to make any discretionary contributions to the VEBA trust in 2026 and plans to utilize a portion of VEBA assets to make certain benefit payments.

PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

In July 2026, the Company announced changes to its postretirement health care benefit plan for non-represented employees and retirees. Effective December 31, 2026, the Company will no longer provide a medical reimbursement benefit to certain existing employees and retirees. As of June 30, 2026, the net health care benefit obligation attributed to these certain existing employees and retirees was approximately $21.6 million. The impact of the changes will reduce the Company’s postretirement benefit obligation during the third quarter of 2026. The liability is expected to be remeasured, with the resulting benefit of the plan changes recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” and amortized to future earnings based upon the remaining life of the plan.

### (11) Earnings per Share (EPS)

Basic EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding. As such, the Company includes the 2028 Convertible Notes, the 2031 Convertible Notes and share-based compensation awards in its potentially dilutive securities. Generally, dilutive securities are not included in the computation of loss per share when a company reports a net loss from continuing operations as the impact would be anti-dilutive.

For all but performance units, the potentially dilutive impact of the Company’s share-based compensation awards is determined using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, awards are treated as if they had been exercised with any proceeds used to repurchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Any incremental difference between the assumed number of shares issued and purchased is included in the diluted share computation. For performance units, their contingent features result in an assessment for any potentially dilutive common stock by using the end of the reporting period as if it were the end of the contingency period for all units granted.

A conversion of the Company’s 2028 Convertible Notes and/or 2031 Convertible Notes may result in payment in Peabody’s common stock. For diluted EPS purposes, the potentially dilutive common stock is assumed to have been converted at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later). In periods where the potentially dilutive common stock is included in the computation of diluted EPS, the numerator will be adjusted to add back tax adjusted interest expense, which includes the amortization of debt issuance costs, related to the convertible debt. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the computation of diluted EPS excluded 14.4 million and 15.6 million shares, respectively, related to the 2028 Convertible Notes and the 2031 Convertible Notes combined, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive for those periods. The 2031 Convertible Notes were not outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025; accordingly, for those periods, the computation of diluted EPS excluded 16.6 million and 16.5 million shares, respectively, related only to the 2028 Convertible Notes, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive for those periods.

The computation of diluted EPS also excluded aggregate share-based compensation awards of 1.3 million shares and 1.1 million shares for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and 1.3 million and 0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for those periods. Because the potential dilutive impact of such share-based compensation awards is calculated under the treasury stock method, anti-dilution generally occurs when the exercise prices or unrecognized compensation cost per share of such awards are higher than the Company’s average stock price during the applicable period. Anti-dilution also occurs when a company reports a net loss from continuing operations, and the dilutive impact of all share-based compensation awards are excluded accordingly.

### (12) Financial Instruments and Other Guarantees

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to various guarantees and financial instruments that carry off-balance-sheet risk and are not reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Such financial instruments provide support for the Company’s reclamation bonding requirements, lease obligations, insurance policies and various other performance guarantees. The Company periodically evaluates the instruments for on-balance-sheet treatment based on the amount of exposure under the instrument and the likelihood of required performance. The Company does not expect any material losses to result from these guarantees or off-balance-sheet instruments in excess of liabilities provided for in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

#### Australian Surety Bond Facilities

On June 12, 2026, certain of the Company’s Australian subsidiaries (collectively, the Australian Surety Bond Facility Obligors), each an indirect subsidiary of PEC, established new Australian dollar-denominated surety bond facilities with an aggregate combined principal amount of $700.0 million Australian dollars in commitments by entering into agreements with surety bond providers (the Australian Surety Bond Facilities). The Australian Surety Bond Facilities have been established to, among other things, establish a surety bonding facility, primarily to support reclamation bonding requirements, to replace the Australian Surety Bond Facility Obligors’ existing 100% cash collateralized programs. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company capitalized $1.9 million of deferred financing costs related to the Australian Surety Bond Facilities.

The surety bond commitments established under the Australian Surety Bond Facilities terminate on June 12, 2031 (the Maturity Date). Surety bonds issued under the Australian Surety Bond Facilities may be issued with or without an expiration date, but any surety bond that does not have an expiration date or that has an expiration date occurring after the Maturity Date, must be repaid, prepaid in full or otherwise satisfied on or prior to the Maturity Date.

The Australian Surety Bond Facilities contain customary covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions (including compliance with financial ratios), may limit the Australian Surety Bond Facility Obligors and their respective subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional financial indebtedness, make certain distributions or loans, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, enter into certain affiliate transactions, create or incur liens, and enter into mergers or other significant corporate transactions. The Australian Surety Bond Facilities are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Australian Surety Bond Facility Obligors.

#### Surety Agreement Termination

On June 12, 2026, the Company terminated that certain Transaction Support Agreement and Surety Resolution Term Sheet, each dated as of November 6, 2020 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified to the date hereof, the TSA), by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto and certain providers of its surety program (collectively, the Sureties). In connection with the termination of the TSA, on June 12, 2026, the Company terminated that certain Collateral Agency and Security Agreement, dated as of May 3, 2022 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified to the date hereof, the TSA Security Agreement), by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, the Sureties party thereto and Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as collateral agent (the TSA Collateral Agent). All obligations of the Company to the Sureties and the TSA Collateral Agent, as applicable, under the TSA and the TSA Security Agreement have been satisfied. The termination of the TSA allowed for the overall reduction of collateral pledged to the Sureties.

#### Accounts Receivable Securitization

In 2017, the Company entered into the Sixth Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, as amended from time to time. The receivables securitization program authorized under the agreement (Securitization Program) is subject to customary events of default. The Securitization Program provides up to $225.0 million of funding capacity which is accounted for as a secured borrowing, limited to the availability of eligible receivables, and may be secured by a combination of collateral and the trade receivables underlying the program. Funding capacity under the Securitization Program may also be utilized for letters of credit in support of other obligations, which has been the Company’s primary utilization. The accounts receivable securitization program was amended in January 2025 to extend its maturity to January 2028. The Company capitalized $1.8 million of debt issuance costs related to the amendment.

Borrowings under the Securitization Program bear interest at SOFR plus 2.1% per annum and remain outstanding throughout the term of the agreement, subject to the Company maintaining sufficient eligible receivables.

At June 30, 2026, the Company had no outstanding borrowings and $62.0 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Securitization Program. Availability under the Securitization Program, which is adjusted for certain ineligible receivables, was $91.0 million at June 30, 2026. The Company was not required to post cash collateral under the Securitization Program at June 30, 2026.

The Company incurred interest and fees associated with the Securitization Program of $0.6 million during both the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and $1.2 million during both the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, which have been recorded as “Interest expense, net of capitalized interest” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

#### Credit Support Facilities

In February 2022, the Company entered into an agreement which provides up to $250.0 million of capacity for irrevocable standby letters of credit, primarily to support reclamation bonding requirements. Outstanding letters of credit bear a fixed fee in the amount of 0.75% per annum. The Company receives a variable deposit rate on the amount of cash collateral posted in support of letters of credit. The agreement was amended on November 3, 2025, to (i) extend the expiration date to December 31, 2030 and (ii) reduce the required minimum cash collateral amount to 102% of the aggregate amount of letters of credit outstanding under the agreement, provided that in the event the Company’s credit rating falls below certain thresholds, the minimum collateral amount shall increase to 103%. At June 30, 2026, letters of credit of $77.9 million were outstanding under the agreement.

In December 2023, the Company established cash-backed bank guarantee facilities, primarily to support Australian reclamation bonding requirements. During the second quarter of 2026, the Australian Surety Bond Facilities, as described above, were established which reduced the utilization of the cash-backed bank guarantee facilities during the three months ended June 30,2026. At June 30, 2026, guarantees of $11.8 million were issued for which the Company receives a variable deposit rate on the amount of cash collateral posted in support of the facilities, which mature at various dates between 2026 and 2030.

#### Restricted Cash and Collateral

The following table summarizes the Company’s “Restricted cash and collateral” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Restricted cash balances are held in controlled accounts with minimum balance requirements; withdrawals are subject to the approval of account beneficiaries, such as the Company’s surety providers, who have perfected security interests in the funds. The Company’s other cash collateral generally includes deposits held by regulatory authorities or financial institutions over which the Company has no control or ability to access. Portions of the restricted cash balances and deposits are held in accounts denominated in Australian dollars.

(1) Restricted cash balances are combined with unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows; changes between unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash balances are thus not reflected in the operating, investing or financing activities therein. Changes in other cash collateral balances are reflected as operating activities therein.

(2) Surety trust accounts, the funding for collateralized letters of credit and cash supporting the bank guarantee facilities are comprised of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less; interest and other earnings on such funds accrue to the Company.

(3) At June 30, 2026, the Australian dollar denominated balances supporting the bank guarantee facilities and the deposits with regulatory authorities were $17 million and $86 million, respectively. At December 31, 2025, the Australian dollar denominated balances supporting the bank guarantee facilities and the deposits with regulatory authorities were $312 million and $201 million, respectively.

### (13) Commitments and Contingencies

#### Commitments

#### Unconditional Purchase Obligations

As of June 30, 2026, purchase commitments for capital expenditures were $47.4 million, all of which is obligated within the next 12 months.

There were no other material changes to the Company’s commitments from the information provided in Note 20. “Commitments and Contingencies” to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

#### Contingencies

From time to time, the Company or its subsidiaries are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business or related to indemnities or historical operations. The Company believes it has recorded adequate reserves for these liabilities. The Company discusses its significant legal proceedings below, including ongoing proceedings and those that impacted the Company’s consolidated results of operations for the periods presented.

#### Litigation and Matters Relating to Continuing Operations

Arbitration Relating to Terminated Anglo American plc (Anglo) Acquisition. On November 25, 2024, Peabody entered into definitive agreements (the Purchase Agreements) to acquire from Anglo certain assets and businesses associated with Anglo’s metallurgical coal portfolio in Australia (collectively, the Assets), including Anglo’s interests in the Moranbah North and Grosvenor mines, the Moranbah South development project, the Capcoal complex, the Roper Creek mine and the Dawson complex (comprising the Dawson Main/Central operating mine, the Dawson South operating mine, the Dawson South Exploration project and the Theodore South exploration project, collectively, the Dawson Assets). The Company agreed to, following the prospective closing of the Anglo acquisition, sell the Dawson Assets to Pt Bukit Makmur Mandiri Utama or one of its subsidiaries.

PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

On August 19, 2025, Peabody terminated the Purchase Agreements. The termination of the Purchase Agreements followed Peabody’s prior delivery of a notice of a Material Adverse Change (MAC) as a result of an ignition event at the Moranbah North mine on March 31, 2025, which had led to the closure of the mine. Following Peabody’s termination of the Purchase Agreements, Anglo returned $29.0 million of the $75.0 million deposit previously paid by Peabody, and Peabody has demanded the outstanding $46.0 million of the deposit also be returned.

On September 23, 2025, various subsidiaries of Anglo initiated International Chamber of Commerce arbitration proceedings in London, United Kingdom, against Peabody and certain of its affiliates. At that time, Anglo’s complaint alleged, among other things, that Peabody wrongfully terminated the Purchase Agreements and sought, among other things, declarations that the ignition event at the Moranbah North mine did not constitute a MAC, as well as damages for losses in an unspecified amount, plus costs and interest. On June 5, 2026, Anglo filed its Statement of Claim, in which it purported to quantify, for the first time in the arbitration proceedings, the damages that it is demanding at approximately $755.0 million. This amount primarily consists of $628.4 million in claimed losses, representing what Anglo contends is the difference in value of the Assets between November 25, 2024 and August 19, 2025, with the remainder consisting of Anglo’s claimed additional costs and interest on such claimed losses and costs.

Peabody disputes Anglo’s allegations in the arbitration proceedings and submits it properly terminated the Purchase Agreements. With respect to Anglo’s calculation of its supposed damages, Peabody believes it is fundamentally flawed for several reasons, including because Anglo’s calculation assumes that the substantial portion of any loss in value is not attributable to the MAC and specifically the ignition event at Moranbah North. In this regard, Peabody remains confident that a MAC occurred, and that it was entitled to terminate the Purchase Agreements. However, while Peabody strongly disagrees with Anglo’s claim that the ignition event at the Moranbah North mine did not constitute a MAC, it is reasonably possible that the Company may incur a loss in connection with Anglo’s claim. That said, given Peabody’s strong view that it was entitled to terminate the Purchase Agreements, as well as the fundamental disagreement over the basis for Anglo’s calculation of its alleged damages, Peabody is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of any possible loss or range of loss relating to this matter. In addition, Peabody expects to receive the remaining $46.0 million purchase deposit under the termination provisions of the Purchase Agreements.

A final hearing in the arbitration proceedings is scheduled for September 2027.

Shareholder Action. On June 25, 2026, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and certain current/former executives (together Defendants) in the United States District Court of the Eastern District of Missouri on behalf of a putative class of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Peabody Energy common stock from October 14, 2024 to May 4, 2026. The lawsuit alleges that Defendants made certain misstatements or omissions in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 regarding the Company’s ability to resume longwall production at the Centurion mine. Defendants have not yet responded to the complaint, but intend to defend themselves vigorously. Peabody is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of any possible loss or range of loss relating to this matter.

#### Other

At times, the Company becomes a party to other disputes, including those related to contract miner performance, claims, lawsuits, arbitration proceedings, regulatory investigations and administrative procedures in the ordinary course of business in the U.S., Australia and other countries where the Company does business. Based on current information, the Company believes that such other pending or threatened proceedings are likely to be resolved without a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company reassesses the probability and the ability to estimate contingent losses as new information becomes available.

### (14) Segment Information

The Company reports its results of operations primarily through the following reportable segments: Seaborne Thermal, Seaborne Metallurgical, Powder River Basin and Other U.S. Thermal.

PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM), defined as the President and Chief Executive Officer, uses Adjusted EBITDA as the primary financial metric to measure each segment’s operating performance against expected results and to allocate resources, including capital investment in mining operations and potential expansions. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as (loss) income from continuing operations before deducting net interest expense, income taxes, asset retirement obligation expenses and depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is also adjusted for the discrete items that management excluded in analyzing the reportable segments’ operating performance, as displayed in the reconciliations below. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is used by investors to measure the Company’s operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to serve as an alternative to U.S. GAAP measures of performance and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies.

Peabody believes non-GAAP measures are used by investors to measure its operating performance. These measures are not intended to serve as alternatives to U.S. GAAP measures of performance and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies. Refer to the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section contained within this Item 2 for definitions and reconciliations to the most comparable measures under U.S. GAAP.

### Overview

Peabody is a leading producer of metallurgical and thermal coal. In 2025, Peabody sold 122.0 million tons of coal. The Company owned interests in 17 active coal mining operations located in the United States (U.S.) and Australia at June 30, 2026. Included in that count is Peabody’s 50% equity interest in Middlemount Coal Pty Ltd (Middlemount), which owns the Middlemount Mine in Queensland, Australia.

The Company reports its results of operations primarily through the following reportable segments: Seaborne Thermal, Seaborne Metallurgical, Powder River Basin and Other U.S. Thermal. Refer to Note 14. “Segment Information” to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding those segments and the components of the Company’s Corporate and Other category.

Pricing during the three months ended June 30, 2026 is set forth in the table below.

| Line item | High | Low | Average | June 30, 2026 | August 3, 2026 |

| Premium low-vol pulverized coal injection (Premium PCI) coal (1) | 173.50 | 154.90 | 161.49 | 168.10 | 158.00 |
| Newcastle index thermal coal (1) | 152.75 | 125.26 | 135.86 | 128.06 | 131.25 |
| API 5 index thermal coal (1) | 104.52 | 87.24 | 96.51 | 96.00 | 94.50 |

| Illinois Basin 11,500 Btu/Lb coal (2) | 55.75 | 54.75 | 55.14 | 54.75 | 54.50 |

(1) Spot pricing expressed per metric tonne.

(2) Prompt month pricing expressed per short ton.

The seaborne pricing included in the table above is not necessarily indicative of the pricing the Company realized during the three months ended June 30, 2026 due to quality differentials and a portion of its seaborne sales being executed through annual and multi-year international coal supply agreements that contain provisions requiring both parties to renegotiate pricing periodically, with spot, index and quarterly sales arrangements also utilized. The Company’s typical practice is to negotiate pricing for seaborne metallurgical coal contracts on a quarterly, spot or index basis and seaborne thermal coal contracts on an annual, spot or index basis.

In the U.S., the pricing included in the table above is also not necessarily indicative of the pricing the Company realized during the three months ended June 30, 2026 since the Company generally sells coal under long-term contracts where pricing is determined based on various factors. Such long-term contracts in the U.S. may vary significantly in many respects, including price adjustment features, price reopener terms, coal quality requirements, quantity parameters, permitted sources of supply, treatment of environmental constraints, extension options, force majeure and termination and assignment provisions. Competition from alternative fuels such as natural gas and other fuel sources may also impact the Company’s realized pricing.

Within the global coal industry, supply and demand for its products and the supplies used for mining are being impacted by recent geopolitical events and changes to trade policy, including tariffs and customs regulations. As future developments related to geopolitical events and trade policy, including additional or retaliatory tariffs, delays in implementing previously announced changes or ongoing negotiations between countries, are unknown, the global coal industry data for the six months ended June 30, 2026 presented herein may not be indicative of their ultimate impacts.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, regional divergence in supply and demand fundamentals in the seaborne metallurgical coal market contributed to a 29% increase in the Premium HCC price and a 17% rise in the Premium PCI price. Weather-related interruptions and operational challenges in Australia periodically constrained export availability and provided support to Premium HCC and Premium PCI prices. Seaborne supply remained responsive to periods of price strength, with producer output recovering following disruption events. Robust blast furnace output in China and domestic coal supply constraints following a major mine accident in Shanxi Province which triggered widespread safety inspections and production suspensions, contributed to tighter domestic coking coal availability and increased Chinese imports of seaborne coal. While India remains the largest growth market for steel production, monsoon-related disruptions and softer steel margins contributed to a moderation in metallurgical coal import demand during the period. Continued geopolitical tensions, constrained availability of premium metallurgical coal products and disruptions to global trade routes contributed to ongoing volatility across energy, freight and raw material markets during the first half of 2026. Despite these headwinds, underlying steel production and industrial activity in key consuming markets continues to provide support for seaborne metallurgical coal demand.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the seaborne thermal coal market remained supported by national government energy security policies. Elevated liquefied natural gas (LNG) prices and continued volatility across global energy markets encouraged utilities in several importing regions to consider greater coal utilization, particularly in import-dependent regions, such as Asia and Europe. Chinese power demand remained resilient, supported by rising industrial activity and seasonal requirements, while domestic coal production growth moderated import demand. In India, high levels of domestic coal output continued to limit seaborne imports, as record high electricity consumption provided underlying support for domestic production. Thermal coal prices are expected to remain sensitive to geopolitical developments affecting energy trade flows, developments in LNG markets, Indonesia’s coal policy reforms, Asian inventory levels and global weather patterns influencing power demand trends. Demand for energy from thermal coal remains an important component of the global power generation mix through the remainder of 2026 as governments and utilities continue to prioritize reliable and affordable energy supply.

In the U.S., overall electricity demand increased just under 1% year-over-year through the six months ended June 30, 2026. Through the first six months of 2026, electricity generation from thermal coal decreased year-over-year, driven by lower natural gas prices, stronger renewable generation and milder spring temperatures in coal-heavy markets in the U.S. Coal’s share of electricity generation decreased to approximately 14% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, while wind and solar’s combined generation share increased to 22% and the share of natural gas generation remained stable at approximately 37%. U.S. coal inventories have increased almost 10 million tons compared to the end of 2025 through June 30, 2026.

### Financing and Liquidity Transactions

During the second quarter of 2026, Peabody completed multiple financing transactions. The Company issued $250.0 million of new convertible senior unsecured notes and used the proceeds of the offering and available cash to purchase a capped call with a cap price of $50.61 per share and to repurchase $241.2 million of the existing convertible senior unsecured notes for cash consideration of $386.8 million. These transactions lowered the Company’s borrowing rates, extended debt maturities to 2031 and reduced potential common share dilution from the convertible notes by approximately 6.2 million shares to approximately 10.7 million potential shares. From an economic perspective, the $145.6 million premium paid above par value to repurchase the existing convertible senior notes was equivalent to repurchasing approximately 5.0 million shares at a weighted average price of $28.92 per share. The Company also entered into standard agreements with surety providers in the U.S. and Australia during the quarter, which reduced total reclamation collateral requirements and released formerly restricted cash and cash collateral. And finally, the Company amended its existing revolving credit facility to increase funding capacity, lower interest rates and extend the maturity date.

### Arbitration Relating to Terminated Anglo American plc (Anglo) Acquisition

On November 25, 2024, Peabody entered into definitive agreements (the Purchase Agreements) to acquire from Anglo certain assets and businesses associated with Anglo’s metallurgical coal portfolio in Australia (collectively, the Assets), including Anglo’s interests in the Moranbah North and Grosvenor mines, the Moranbah South development project, the Capcoal complex, the Roper Creek mine and the Dawson complex (comprising the Dawson Main/Central operating mine, the Dawson South operating mine, the Dawson South Exploration project and the Theodore South exploration project, collectively, the Dawson Assets). The Company agreed to, following the prospective closing of the Anglo acquisition, sell the Dawson Assets to Pt Bukit Makmur Mandiri Utama or one of its subsidiaries.

On August 19, 2025, Peabody terminated the Purchase Agreements. The termination of the Purchase Agreements followed Peabody’s prior delivery of a notice of a Material Adverse Change (MAC) as a result of an ignition event at the Moranbah North mine on March 31, 2025, which had led to the closure of the mine. Following Peabody’s termination of the Purchase Agreements, Anglo returned $29.0 million of the $75.0 million deposit previously paid by Peabody, and Peabody has demanded the outstanding $46.0 million of the deposit also be returned. See Note 13. “Commitments and Contingencies” to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

On September 23, 2025, various subsidiaries of Anglo initiated International Chamber of Commerce arbitration proceedings in London, United Kingdom, against Peabody and certain of its affiliates. At that time, Anglo’s complaint alleged, among other things, that Peabody wrongfully terminated the Purchase Agreements and sought, among other things, declarations that the ignition event at the Moranbah North mine did not constitute a MAC, as well as damages for losses in an unspecified amount, plus costs and interest. On June 5, 2026, Anglo filed its Statement of Claim, in which it purported to quantify, for the first time in the arbitration proceedings, the damages that it is demanding at approximately $755.0 million. This amount primarily consists of $628.4 million in claimed losses, representing what Anglo contends is the difference in value of the Assets between November 25, 2024 and August 19, 2025, with the remainder consisting of Anglo’s claimed additional costs and interest on such claimed losses and costs.

Peabody disputes Anglo’s allegations in the arbitration proceedings and submits it properly terminated the Purchase Agreements. With respect to Anglo’s calculation of its supposed damages, Peabody believes it is fundamentally flawed for several reasons, including because Anglo’s calculation assumes that the substantial portion of any loss in value is not attributable to the MAC and specifically the ignition event at Moranbah North. In this regard, Peabody remains confident that a MAC occurred, and that it was entitled to terminate the Purchase Agreements. However, while Peabody strongly disagrees with Anglo’s claim that the ignition event at the Moranbah North mine did not constitute a MAC, it is reasonably possible that the Company may incur a loss in connection with Anglo’s claim. That said, given Peabody’s strong view that it was entitled to terminate the Purchase Agreements, as well as the fundamental disagreement over the basis for Anglo’s calculation of its alleged damages, Peabody is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of any possible loss or range of loss relating to this matter. In addition, Peabody expects to receive the remaining $46.0 million purchase deposit under the termination provisions of the Purchase Agreements.

A final hearing in the arbitration proceedings is scheduled for September 2027.

### Potential Recovery of Rare Earth Elements (REE)

In early July 2026, it was announced that Peabody had been awarded a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to advance REE and critical minerals (CM) development opportunities in the Powder River Basin. Combined with the Wyoming Energy Authority grant awarded in February 2026, the Company continues to advance its evaluation of the potential recovery of REE and CM and other REE/CM opportunities.

### Centurion Update

During the initial longwall commissioning, mechanical and electrical issues were encountered at the Centurion Mine. The issues were resolved, but the disruptions constrained cutting speeds which contributed to temporary challenges to roof conditions. The operating team has implemented effective processes to address face conditions while maintaining production momentum and is working through the remaining roof control issues. With operational constraints significantly reduced, Peabody's focus is on achieving targeted production rates.

### Results of Operations

### Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025

### Summary

The decrease in results from continuing operations, net of income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in the prior year ($60.3 million and $124.0 million, respectively) was driven by higher operating costs and expenses ($164.5 million and $259.0 million, respectively), induced conversion expense recognized in the current year ($17.2 million, three and six months), higher depreciation, depletion and amortization ($14.1 million and $31.5 million, respectively), reduced net gains on disposals ($10.4 million and $3.9 million, respectively), increased losses from equity affiliates ($9.0 million and $8.0 million, respectively) and lower net periodic benefit credits ($7.1 million and $14.1 million, respectively). The unfavorable variances were partially offset by higher revenue ($113.1 million and $149.4 million, respectively) primarily driven by favorable pricing, increased tax benefits ($34.3 million and $55.2 million, respectively) and lower costs related to the terminated acquisition ($16.5 million and $15.9 million, respectively).

Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 reflected a year-over-year decrease of $69.3 million and $130.8 million, respectively.

Seaborne Thermal. Segment Costs increased during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to increased commodities expense ($17.1 million) which was driven by higher fuel pricing. Segment Costs decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year due to decreased volume (2.0 million tons) which drove both lower sales related costs ($17.2 million) and variable costs ($10.7 million). These decreases were offset by increased commodities expense ($19.1 million).

Seaborne Metallurgical. Segment Costs increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in the prior year due to higher costs for labor, repairs and outside services ($73.6 million and $136.8 million, respectively) driven by longwall commissioning activities at the Centurion Mine; higher sales related costs ($34.4 million and $49.4 million, respectively) resulting from increased volume (0.3 million tons and 0.5 million tons, respectively) and higher realized pricing; and increased commodities expense ($15.9 million and $15.7 million, respectively) which was primarily driven by higher fuel pricing.

Powder River Basin. Segment Costs decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year due to lower sales related costs ($25.3 million) which were largely driven by the federal royalty rate reduction on coal production included in the OBBBA and lower volume (3.6 million tons), offset by increased commodities expense ($17.0 million) driven by higher fuel pricing and increased leasing expense ($3.9 million). Segment Costs increased during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year due to increased commodities expense ($29.2 million) driven by higher fuel pricing; higher costs for labor, repairs and outside services ($23.3 million) as the result of planned equipment outages and increased in-pit inventory; and increased leasing expense ($6.5 million). These increases were offset by lower sales related costs ($36.8 million) which were largely driven by the federal royalty rate reduction on coal production included in the OBBBA and lower volume (2.0 million tons).

Other U.S. Thermal. Segment Costs decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to lower costs for repairs and outside services ($11.7 million), offset by increased commodities expense ($7.8 million) driven by higher fuel pricing. Segment Costs increased during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year due to higher commodities expense ($11.2 million), higher variable operational costs ($5.1 million) and higher sales related costs ($4.7 million) driven by increased volume (0.3 million tons), offset by lower costs for repairs and outside services ($16.5 million).

Corporate and Other. The increase to Segment Costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily driven by higher expenses related to trading and brokerage activities ($16.4 million and $23.4 million, respectively), the unfavorable remeasurement of foreign currency ($15.1 million and $8.5 million, respectively) and lower net periodic benefit credit, excluding service cost due to the final amortization in the prior year of a previously established prior service credit ($7.1 million and $14.1 million, respectively).

| Other U.S. Thermal | (14.7) | (15.8) | 1.1 | 7% | (30.7) | (31.5) | 0.8 | 3% |
| Corporate and Other | (5.1) | (1.6) | (3.5) | (219)% | (6.2) | (3.0) | (3.2) | (107)% |
| Total depreciation, depletion and amortization | $(107.5) | $(93.4) | $(14.1) | (15)% | $(217.0) | $(185.5) | $(31.5) | (17)% |

Additionally, the following table presents a summary of the Company’s weighted-average depletion rate per ton for active mines in each of its reportable segments:

| Line item | Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 | Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 | Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 | Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Seaborne Thermal | $1.05 | $2.00 | $1.05 | $2.00 |
| Seaborne Metallurgical | 3.85 | 3.23 | 4.55 | 3.00 |
| Powder River Basin | 0.33 | 0.32 | 0.31 | 0.32 |
| Other U.S. Thermal | 1.47 | 1.81 | 1.62 | 1.82 |

Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to increased depreciation and amortization resulting from shortened mine lives. The decrease in the weighted-average depletion rate per ton for the Seaborne Thermal segment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in the prior year reflects the increased quantity of proven and probable coal reserves at the Wilpinjong Mine resulting from the conversion of coal resources to proven and probable reserves. The increase in the weighted-average depletion rate per ton for the Seaborne Metallurgical segment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in the prior year reflects the impact of volume and mix variances across the segment. The decrease in the weighted-average depletion rate per ton for the Other U.S. Thermal segment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in the prior year reflects the impact of volume and mix variances across the segment.

Costs Related to Terminated Acquisition. These costs relate to the terminated acquisition of certain assets and businesses associated with Anglo’s metallurgical coal portfolio. In addition to typical costs, such as legal and professional fees, the prior year charges included a $10.4 million duration fee on a now-terminated bridge loan facility. Refer to Note 13. “Commitments and Contingencies” to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Induced Conversion Expense. During the current year, the Company repurchased $241.2 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 3.250% Convertible Senior Notes due March 2028 for consideration of $386.8 million. The repurchase of the existing notes was accounted for as an induced conversion, and a portion of the consideration in excess of the amount issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms, $17.2 million, was recognized as expense. Refer to Note 9. “Long-term Debt” to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Interest Income. The decrease in income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in the prior year was driven by lower average cash balances during the current period.

Unrealized (Losses) Gains on Foreign Currency Option Contracts. Unrealized (losses) gains primarily relate to mark-to-market activity on foreign currency option contracts. For additional information, refer to Note 6. “Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements” to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Income Tax Benefit (Provision). The increase in the income tax benefit during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to lower expected pretax income. The increase in the income tax benefit recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year was driven by expected pretax losses in the current year compared to expected pretax income in the prior year. Refer to Note 8. “Income Taxes” to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

### Regulatory Update

Other than as described in the following section, there were no significant changes to the Company’s regulatory or global climate matters subsequent to December 31, 2025. This section should be considered in connection with the Company’s regulatory and global climate matters as outlined in Part I, Item 1. “Business” in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

### Regulatory Matters - U.S.

National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to review national ambient air quality standards every five years to determine whether revisions to current standards are appropriate. On March 6, 2024, the EPA revised the level of the primary standard for fine particulate matter (PM 2.5), lowering the annual standard from 12.0 µg/m3 to 9.0 µg/m3. The revised PM 2.5 standard was challenged in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (D.C. Circuit) in Kentucky v. EPA, (D.C. Cir., No. 24-1050) and subsequently upheld by that court on June 26, 2026. Under the CAA, once a NAAQS is revised states are required to take several actions to implement the revised standards. Such actions could require fossil fuel-fired electric generating units (EGUs) and non-EGUs to install additional emission control technologies or operate in a different manner. Such actions could potentially increase the cost of utilizing fossil fuels for electric generation and industrial uses.

The EPA is also in the process of reviewing the current ozone NAAQS. The level of the ozone NAAQS can also affect requirements to install new or improved emission control technologies at fossil fuel-fired EGUs and non-EGU industrial sources.

Mercury and Air Toxic Standards (MATS). In 2012, the EPA published the final MATS rule, which revised the New Source Performance Standards for nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide and fine particulate matter (PM) for new and modified coal-fueled electricity generating plants, and imposed maximum achievable control technology (MACT) emission limits on hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from new and existing coal-fueled and oil-fueled electric generating plants. MACT standards limit emissions of mercury, acid gas HAPs, non-mercury HAP metals and organic HAPs.

On March 6, 2023, the EPA issued a final rule which reaffirmed its determination to regulate coal- and oil-fired EGUs under CAA section 112, including the regulation of HAPs from EGUs after considering cost. On May 7, 2024, the EPA finalized a MATS rule which significantly tightened the filterable PM emissions limit for existing coal-fired EGU’s, lowering the standard from 0.030 lb/MMBtu to 0.010 lb/MMBtu for all coal-fired power plants and lowered the mercury emission standard for lignite-fired EGUs. The EPA, however, subsequently repealed both the lower filterable PM emission limits and the lower mercury standards for lignite plants. 91. Fed. Reg 9088 (February 24, 2026). This rule became effective on April 27, 2026. The rule has been challenged in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Air Alliance Houston v. EPA, No. 26-1070 (and consolidated case) (D.C. Cir. filed March 30, 2026).

Clean Water Act (CWA) Water Quality Certification Rule. The EPA issued a final rule in 2020 that would have limited state and tribal regulators’ certification authority under CWA Section 401 by allowing the EPA to certify projects over state or tribal regulator objections in some circumstances. On September 27, 2023, the EPA finalized a superseding rule that would expand state and tribal regulators’ authority to review activities that require federal permits or licenses and to impose conditions they believe are necessary to ensure compliance with water quality requirements. That rule took effect on November 27, 2023. Challenges to the 2023 rule remain pending in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana. On January 15, 2026, the EPA published proposed revisions to the 2023 rule in the Federal Register, and the EPA announced that it planned to finalize changes later in 2026.

Effluent Limitations Guidelines for the Steam Electric Power Generating Industry. In 2015, the EPA published a final rule setting requirements for wastewater discharge from EGUs. In 2020, the EPA finalized revisions to certain requirements in the 2015 rule. On May 9, 2024, the EPA published a final rule that would have established more stringent standards for flue gas desulfurization wastewater, bottom ash transport water, combustion residual leachate and legacy wastewater discharged from certain surface impoundments. The final revised effluent limitations guidelines would have significantly increased costs for many coal-fueled steam electric power plants. In addition, the finalized final rule allowed EGUs that commit to ceasing coal combustion by December 31, 2034, to comply with less stringent wastewater discharge requirements during the interim. The final rule remains subject to numerous legal challenges that have been consolidated in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit (Eighth Circuit); due to the reconsideration process currently ongoing, however (see below), the proceedings are currently being held in abeyance. If the Eighth Circuit affirms the final rule, it could influence fuel switching or additional coal generating unit retirements by the end of 2034. On December 31, 2025, the EPA published a final Deadline Extensions Rule that extends seven compliance deadlines in the 2024 rule. The EPA is allowing EGUs six additional years (until December 31, 2031) to determine whether to submit a notice of planned participation for the permanent cessation of coal combustion. The EPA further extended the deadlines by five years (to December 31, 2034) for direct discharging EGUs to comply with zero-discharge limitations for flue gas desulfurization wastewater, bottom ash transport water and combustion residual leachate. Finally, the EPA is allowing EGUs that discharge to wastewater treatment plants an additional year-and-a-half to seven-and-a-half years to comply with zero-discharge limitations for those same wastestreams. The Deadline Extensions Rule has been challenged by multiple parties, with the litigation consolidated in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. A motion to transfer the consolidated petitions to the Eighth Circuit is pending. If the Deadline Extensions Rule is vacated, the 2024 rule’s deadlines could become operative again. The EPA also issued a No Action Assurance memorandum announcing it will not pursue enforcement actions for certain permit violations by EGUs not yet in compliance with permit requirements related to the 2020 and 2024 rules, if those EGUs satisfy certain conditions. On May 18, 2026, the EPA published a proposed rule to clarify applicability of unmanaged combustion residual leachate limitations. 91 Fed. Reg. 28487 (May 18, 2026).

Rules for Disposal of Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) from Electric Utilities; Federal CCR Permit Program and Revisions to Closure Requirements. On February 20, 2020, as required by the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act, the EPA proposed a federal permitting program for the disposal of CCR in surface impoundments and landfills. Under the proposal, the EPA would directly implement the permit program in Indian Country and at CCR units located in states that have not submitted their own CCR permit program for approval. The proposal includes requirements for federal CCR permit applications, content and modification, as well as procedural requirements. The comment period for the EPA’s proposal ended on April 20, 2020. The EPA has not yet issued a final rule, but it has indicated that it plans to reopen the comment period for that proposal in a future action. Separately, on August 28, 2020 and November 12, 2020, the EPA finalized two sets of amendments to its 2015 CCR rule to partially address the D.C. Circuit’s 2018 decision holding that certain provisions of that rule were not sufficiently protective. On November 28, 2025, the EPA proposed to extend, by three years, the compliance deadline in the 2020 amendments for owners and operators to complete closure of unlined impoundments larger than 40 acres. On May 8, 2024, the EPA published a final rule containing additional amendments to the 2015 CCR rule that further address aspects of the D.C. Circuit’s 2018 decision. On February 10, 2026, the EPA published a final rule that provides additional time to meet certain requirements in the May 2024 Rule. Finally, on April 9, 2026, the EPA published a proposed rule to amend several provisions governing the disposal of CCR in landfills and surface impoundments and the benefit use for CCR.

SEC Climate-Related Disclosures. On March 6, 2024, the SEC adopted final rules intended to enhance and standardize climate-related disclosures by public companies and in public offerings. Specifically, the final rules required disclosure of, among other things, climate-related risks that have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on a public company’s business strategy, results of operations or financial condition; certain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with a public company along with, in many cases, an attestation report by a GHG emissions attestation provider; and certain climate-related financial metrics to be included in a company’s audited financial statements. The final rules were challenged by multiple parties, and the cases were consolidated into a judicial review by the Eighth Circuit. On April 4, 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed implementation of the final rules pending such judicial review. On May 29, 2026, the SEC proposed to rescind the final rules, and is accepting comments for 60 days following Federal Register Publication.

Complaints Filed Against “Climate Superfund Laws” and Announced State Actions. On April 30 and May 1, 2025, respectively, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) filed complaints for declaratory and injunctive relief against the states of Michigan and Hawaii regarding alleged liability of fossil fuel companies for past GHG emissions and against New York and Vermont for “climate superfund” laws. On May 4, 2026, the DOJ filed a complaint against the state of Minnesota to halt that state’s climate lawsuit against major energy companies with parallels to the Michigan and Hawaii suits. These complaints allege that existing litigation and state laws interfere with federal law, including the CAA, and with interstate and foreign commerce. The Company will monitor this litigation and its potential impact on the U.S. coal mining industry, its mining operations and customers.

### Regulatory Matters - Australia

New South Wales (NSW) Strategic Statement on Coal Exploration and Mining. The NSW Government released a new NSW Coal Industry 2026-50 policy (the Policy) in March 2026 (replacing the Strategic Statement on Coal Exploration and Mining) that provided a high level framework for the government's policy approach to the future of the coal sector. The Policy’s key features include: no new standalone greenfield coal mines; no further government investment in coal exploration, although exploration will continue to be permitted near existing mine sites; extensions to existing operations will continue to be considered; and strengthened emissions regulation requirements for coal mine emissions.

### Risks and Regulations Related to Global Climate Change

There have been no significant changes to the Company’s global climate matters subsequent to December 31, 2025. Refer to Part I, Item 1. “Business” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for information regarding the Company’s global climate matters.

### Liquidity and Capital Resources

### Overview

The Company’s primary source of cash is proceeds from the sale of its coal production to customers. The Company has also generated cash from the sale of non-strategic assets, including coal reserves, coal resources and surface lands, the return of collateral and, from time to time, borrowings under its credit facilities and the issuance of securities. The Company’s primary uses of cash include the cash costs of coal production, capital expenditures, coal reserve lease and royalty payments, debt service costs, finance and operating lease payments, early debt retirements, postretirement plans, take-or-pay obligations, post-mining reclamation obligations, collateral requirements, dividends, share repurchases and selling and administrative expenses.

Any future determinations to return capital to stockholders, such as dividends or share repurchases, will depend on a variety of factors, including the Company’s net income or other sources of cash, liquidity position and potential alternative uses of cash, such as internal development projects or acquisitions, as well as economic conditions and expected future financial results. The Company’s ability to early retire debt, declare dividends or repurchase shares in the future will depend on its future financial performance, which in turn depends on the successful implementation of its strategy and on financial, competitive, regulatory, technical and other factors, general economic conditions, demand for and selling prices of coal and other factors specific to its industry, many of which are beyond the Company’s control.

### Liquidity

As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balances totaled $526.3 million, including approximately $420 million held by Australian subsidiaries, approximately $100 million held by U.S. subsidiaries and the remainder held by other foreign subsidiaries in accounts predominantly domiciled in the U.S. A significant majority of the cash held by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is denominated in U.S. dollars. This cash is generally used to support non-U.S. liquidity needs, including capital and operating expenditures in Australia and payment of the foreign subsidiaries’ share of certain U.S. corporate expenditures. From time to time, the Company may repatriate profits from its foreign subsidiaries to the U.S. in the form of intercompany dividends. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, no profits from foreign subsidiaries were repatriated. If foreign-held cash is repatriated in the future, the Company does not expect restrictions or potential taxes will have a material effect to its near-term liquidity.

The Company’s available liquidity increased from $942.1 million as of December 31, 2025 to $959.1 million as of June 30, 2026. Available liquidity was comprised of the following:

_(Dollars in millions)_

| Line item | June 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $526.3 | $575.3 |
| Revolving credit facility availability | 341.8 | 270.8 |
| Accounts receivable securitization program availability | 91.0 | 96.0 |
| Total liquidity | $959.1 | $942.1 |

### Capital Returns to Shareholders

The Company paid dividends of $18.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

### Australian Surety Bond Facilities

On June 12, 2026, certain of the Company’s Australian subsidiaries (collectively, the Australian Surety Bond Facility Obligors), each an indirect subsidiary of PEC, established new Australian dollar-denominated surety bond facilities with an aggregate combined principal amount of $700.0 million Australian dollars in commitments by entering into agreements with surety bond providers (the Australian Surety Bond Facilities). The Australian Surety Bond Facilities have been established to, among other things, establish a surety bonding facility, primarily to support reclamation bonding requirements, to replace the Australian Surety Bond Facility Obligors’ existing 100% cash collateralized programs.

The surety bond commitments established under the Australian Surety Bond Facilities terminate on June 12, 2031 (the Maturity Date). Surety bonds issued under the Australian Surety Bond Facilities may be issued with or without an expiration date, but any surety bond that does not have an expiration date or that has an expiration date occurring after the Maturity Date, must be repaid, prepaid in full or otherwise satisfied on or prior to the Maturity Date.

The Australian Surety Bond Facilities contain customary covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions (including compliance with financial ratios), may limit the Australian Surety Bond Facility Obligors and their respective subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional financial indebtedness, make certain distributions or loans, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, enter into certain affiliate transactions, create or incur liens, and enter into mergers or other significant corporate transactions. The Australian Surety Bond Facilities are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Australian Surety Bond Facility Obligors.

### Surety Agreement Termination

On June 12, 2026, the Company terminated that certain Transaction Support Agreement and Surety Resolution Term Sheet, each dated as of November 6, 2020 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified to the date hereof, the TSA), by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto and certain providers of its surety program (collectively, the Sureties). In connection with the termination of the TSA, on June 12, 2026, the Company terminated that certain Collateral Agency and Security Agreement, dated as of May 3, 2022 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified to the date hereof, the TSA Security Agreement), by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, the Sureties party thereto and Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as collateral agent (the TSA Collateral Agent). All obligations of the Company to the Sureties and the TSA Collateral Agent, as applicable, under the TSA and the TSA Security Agreement have been satisfied. The termination of the TSA allowed for the overall reduction of collateral pledged to the Sureties.

### Credit Support Facilities

In February 2022, the Company entered into an agreement which provides up to $250.0 million of capacity for irrevocable standby letters of credit, primarily to support reclamation bonding requirements. Outstanding letters of credit bear a fixed fee in the amount of 0.75% per annum. The Company receives a variable deposit rate on the amount of cash collateral posted in support of letters of credit. The agreement was amended on November 3, 2025, to (i) extend the expiration date to December 31, 2030 and (ii) reduce the required minimum cash collateral amount to 102% of the aggregate amount of letters of credit outstanding under the agreement, provided that in the event the Company’s credit rating falls below certain thresholds, the minimum collateral amount shall increase to 103%. At June 30, 2026, letters of credit of $77.9 million were outstanding under the agreement.

In December 2023, the Company established cash-backed bank guarantee facilities, primarily to support Australian reclamation bonding requirements. During the second quarter of 2026, the Australian Surety Bond Facilities, as described above, were established, which reduced the utilization of the cash-backed bank guarantee facilities during the three months ended June 30, 2026. At June 30, 2026, guarantees of $11.8 million were issued for which the Company receives a variable deposit rate on the amount of cash collateral posted in support of the facilities, which mature at various dates between 2026 and 2030.

### Revolving Credit Facility

The Company established a revolving credit facility by entering into a credit agreement, dated as of January 18, 2024, as amended, (the Credit Agreement), by and among the Company, as borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. On June 9, 2026, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, permit the Australian Surety Bond Facilities. On June 30, 2026, the Company further amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) increase the revolving commitments under the Credit Agreement from an aggregate principal amount equal to $320.0 million to an aggregate principal amount equal to $400.0 million; (ii) extend the maturity date of the revolving commitments and any related loans (any such loans, the Revolving Loans) from January 18, 2028 to June 30, 2030; and (iii) decrease the interest rate applicable to the Revolving Loans from a rate equal to a secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) plus an applicable margin ranging from 3.50% to 4.25%, depending on the Company’s total net leverage ratio (as defined under the Credit Agreement) or a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.25%, at the Company’s option, to a rate equal to SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 3.25% to 4.00%, depending on the Company’s total net leverage ratio or a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.25% to 3.00%, at the Company’s option. After the June 30, 2026 amendment, letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement incur a combined fee equal to an applicable margin ranging from 3.25% to 4.00% plus a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum. Prior to the amendment, the combined fee was equal to an applicable margin ranging from 3.50% to 4.25% plus a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum. Unused capacity under the Credit Agreement bears a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum.

During the second quarter of 2026, the Company borrowed and repaid $110.0 million under the revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2026, the Credit Agreement was only utilized for letters of credit of $58.2 million. These letters of credit support the Company’s reclamation bonding requirements, lease obligations, insurance policies and various other performance guarantees as further described in Note 12. “Financial Instruments and Other Guarantees.” Availability under the revolving credit facility was $341.8 million at June 30, 2026.

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions (including compliance with financial ratios), may limit the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness, make certain restricted payments or investments, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, create or incur liens, and merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of their assets. The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries, as well as a pledge of two Australian subsidiaries.

### Indebtedness

The Company’s total indebtedness as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 is presented in the table below.

_(Dollars in millions)_

| Debt Instrument (defined below, as applicable) | June 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 3.250% Convertible Senior Notes due March 2028 (2028 Convertible Notes) | $78.8 | $320.0 |
| 0.50% Convertible Senior Notes due June 2031 (2031 Convertible Notes) | 250.0 | — |
| Finance lease obligations | 17.7 | 20.8 |
| Less: Debt issuance costs | (7.5) | (4.4) |
|  | 339.0 | 336.4 |
| Less: Current portion of long-term debt | 13.5 | 15.2 |
| Long-term debt | $325.5 | $321.2 |

The Company’s indebtedness requires estimated contractual principal and interest payments, assuming interest rates in effect at June 30, 2026, of approximately $12 million in 2026, $10 million in 2027, $85 million in 2028, $2 million in both 2029 and 2030, and $251 million thereafter.

The Company paid cash of $33.3 million and $24.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, for interest, net of capitalized interest, related to the Company’s indebtedness and financial assurance instruments.

### Partial Repurchase of 2028 Convertible Notes

On June 2, 2026, through a private offering, the Company issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2031 Convertible Notes, as described below. The Company used the proceeds of the offering of the 2031 Convertible Notes, together with available cash, to repurchase $241.2 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 2028 Convertible Notes for consideration of $386.8 million. The repurchase of the existing notes was accounted for as an induced conversion in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 and Accounting Standards Update 2024-04. A portion of the consideration in excess of the amount issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms, $17.2 million, was recognized as “Induced conversion expense” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. The remaining excess of the consideration over the carrying value of the repurchased 2028 Convertible Notes on the date of repurchase of $131.1 million, which included unamortized debt issuance costs of $2.7 million, was recorded as “Additional paid-in capital” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

### 2028 Convertible Notes

On March 1, 2022, through a private offering, the Company issued the 2028 Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $320.0 million. The 2028 Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are governed under an indenture, dated as of March 1, 2022 (the 2028 Indenture), between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee. During the second quarter of 2026, in connection with the issuance of the 2031 Convertible Notes, the Company used the proceeds therefrom and available cash to repurchase $241.2 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes as discussed above.

The remaining 2028 Convertible Notes will mature on March 1, 2028, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms. The 2028 Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.250% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year.

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company’s reported common stock prices prompted the conversion feature of the 2028 Convertible Notes. As a result, the 2028 Convertible Notes were convertible at the option of the holders during the second quarter of 2026, for which no conversion requests were received. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company’s reported common stock prices did not prompt the conversion feature of the 2028 Convertible Notes. As a result, the 2028 Convertible Notes will not be convertible during the third quarter of 2026.

### 2031 Convertible Notes

On June 2, 2026, through a private offering, the Company issued the 2031 Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million. The 2031 Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are governed under an indenture, dated June 2, 2026 (the 2031 Indenture), between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee.

The Company used the proceeds of the offering of the 2031 Convertible Notes to fund $16.7 million of capped call transactions, as discussed below, and together with available cash, to repurchase $241.2 million of its outstanding 2028 Convertible Notes, as described above.

The 2031 Convertible Notes will mature on June 1, 2031, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms. The 2031 Convertible Notes will bear interest from June 2, 2026 at a rate of 0.50% per year payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2026.

The 2031 Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders only in the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2026, if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (2) during the five consecutive business days immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (such five consecutive trading day period, the Measurement Period) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2031 Convertible Notes for each trading day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day; (3) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on the Company’s common stock; (4) if the Company calls such 2031 Convertible Notes for redemption; and (5) at any time from, and including, December 1, 2030 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date.

Upon conversion, the Company may satisfy its conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s election, in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions provided in the 2031 Indenture. The initial conversion rate for the 2031 Convertible Notes will be 26.0970 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2031 Convertible Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $38.32 per share of the Company’s common stock. The initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately 32.5% over the U.S. composite volume weighted average price of Peabody’s common stock from 9:30 a.m. through 4:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on May 28, 2026, which was $28.9197 per share. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the 2031 Indenture. If certain corporate events described in the 2031 Indenture occur prior to the maturity date, or the Company delivers a redemption notice (as described below), the conversion rate will be increased for a holder who elects to convert its 2031 Convertible Notes in connection with such corporate event or redemption notice, as the case may be, in certain circumstances.

The Company may not redeem the 2031 Convertible Notes prior to June 5, 2029, except in the event of a cleanup redemption (as defined below). The Company may redeem the 2031 Convertible Notes in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), at its option at any time, and from time to time, on or after June 5, 2029 and on or before the 31st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2031 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, if (i) the 2031 Convertible Notes are “freely tradable” (as defined in the 2031 Indenture), and all accrued and unpaid additional interest, if any, has been paid in full, as of the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (ii) the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (1) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (2) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. However, the Company may not redeem less than all of the outstanding 2031 Convertible Notes unless at least $75 million aggregate principal amount of 2031 Convertible Notes are outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time the Company sends the related redemption notice. No sinking fund is provided for the 2031 Convertible Notes.

Peabody may redeem for cash all, but not less than all, of the 2031 Convertible Notes at any time if (i) the 2031 Convertible Notes are “freely tradable” (as defined in the 2031 Indenture), and all accrued and unpaid additional interest, if any, has been paid in full, as of the date Peabody sends the related redemption notice; and (ii) the amount of the 2031 Convertible Notes that remains outstanding is less than 15% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Convertible Notes initially issued under the 2031 Indenture at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2031 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date (a cleanup redemption).

If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the 2031 Indenture), noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their 2031 Convertible Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2031 Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

### Capped Call Transactions

In connection with the offering of the 2031 Convertible Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the Capped Call Transactions) with certain financial institutions. The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the 2031 Convertible Notes prior to May 30, 2030, and/or offset any potential cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of such converted 2031 Convertible Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price. The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions will initially be $50.6095 per share, which represents a premium of approximately 75.0% over the U.S. composite volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock from 9:30 a.m. through 4:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on May 28, 2026 (which was $28.9197 per share), and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions. The Capped Call Transactions will expire over a period of trading days beginning on April 17, 2030.

The Capped Call Transactions are accounted for as equity instruments in “Additional paid-in capital” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are not subsequently remeasured as long as they continue to meet the conditions for equity classification. Accordingly, the premiums paid for the Capped Call Transactions are recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and do not affect the Company’s basic or diluted earnings per share, although they are expected to reduce the potential economic dilution from any conversion of the 2031 Convertible Notes, subject to the cap.

### Accounts Receivable Securitization Program

As described in Note 12. “Financial Instruments and Other Guarantees” of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company entered into an accounts receivable securitization program during 2017. The securitization program provides up to $225.0 million of funding capacity which is accounted for as a secured borrowing, limited to the availability of eligible receivables, and may be secured by a combination of collateral and the trade receivables underlying the program. Funding capacity under the program may also be utilized for letters of credit in support of other obligations, which has been the Company’s primary utilization. At June 30, 2026, the Company had no outstanding borrowings and $62.0 million of letters of credit outstanding under the program. The Company was not required to post cash collateral under the securitization program at June 30, 2026.

The accounts receivable securitization program was amended in January 2025 to extend its maturity to January 2028.

### Covenant Compliance

The Company was compliant with all relevant covenants under its debt and other finance agreements at June 30, 2026.

### Cash Flows

The following table summarizes the Company’s cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, as reported in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

_(Dollars in millions)_

| Line item | Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 | Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $28.6 | $143.1 |
| Net cash used in investing activities | (184.1) | (180.7) |
| Net cash used in financing activities | (202.0) | (44.9) |
| Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | (357.5) | (82.5) |
| Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at beginning of period | 1,284.5 | 1,382.6 |
| Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of period | $927.0 | $1,300.1 |

Operating Activities. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the prior year was driven by lower cash generated from mining operations and a year-over-year decrease in operating cash flow from working capital ($95.1 million), partially offset by the return of $75.8 million of cash collateral during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Investing Activities. The increase in net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the prior year was driven by higher net contributions to joint ventures ($19.4 million) and lower proceeds from disposal of assets ($7.1 million). These variances were partially offset by lower capital expenditures and payments of capital accruals ($24.2 million).

Financing Activities. The increase in net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year was driven by higher repayments of long-term debt ($494.1 million), purchases of capped calls ($16.7 million) and payments of debt issuance and other deferred financing costs ($12.5 million). These variances were partially offset by proceeds from long-term debt ($360.0 million) and decreases in distributions to noncontrolling interests ($7.0 million).

### Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to various guarantees and financial instruments that carry off-balance-sheet risk and are not reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Such financial instruments provide support for the Company’s reclamation bonding requirements, lease obligations, insurance policies and various other performance guarantees. The Company periodically evaluates the instruments for on-balance-sheet treatment based on the amount of exposure under the instrument and the likelihood of required performance. The Company does not expect any material losses to result from these guarantees or off-balance-sheet instruments in excess of liabilities provided for in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments that carry off-balance-sheet risk.

_June 30, 2026 · (Dollars in millions)_

| Line item | Reclamation Support | Other Support (1) | Total |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Surety bonds | $1,194.0 | $82.4 | $1,276.4 |
| Letters of credit (2) | 62.3 | 57.9 | 120.2 |
|  | 1,256.3 | 140.3 | 1,396.6 |
| Less: Letters of credit in support of surety bonds (3) | (62.3) | (1.9) | (64.2) |
| Obligations supported, net | $1,194.0 | $138.4 | $1,332.4 |

(1) Instruments support obligations related to leases, health care plans, workers’ compensation, property and casualty insurance, customer and vendor contracts and certain restoration ancillary to prior mining activities.

(2) Amounts do not include cash-collateralized letters of credit.

(3) Certain letters of credit serve as collateral for surety bonds at the request of surety bond providers.

Not presented in the above table is $459.8 million of restricted cash and collateral which are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2026, as described in Note 12. “Financial Instruments and Other Guarantees” of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Such collateral is primarily in support of the financial instruments noted above, including in relation to the Company’s surety bond portfolio, its collateralized letter of credit agreement, its bank guarantee facilities and amounts held directly with beneficiaries which are not supported by surety bonds. The restricted cash and collateral balance decreased $384.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 substantially due to the release of cash collateral as a result of the establishment of the Australian Surety Bond Facilities and the termination of the TSA.

At June 30, 2026, the Company had total asset retirement obligations of $754.3 million. Bonding requirement amounts may differ significantly from the related asset retirement obligation because such requirements are calculated under the assumption that reclamation begins currently, whereas the Company’s accounting liabilities are discounted from the end of a mine’s economic life (when final reclamation work would begin) to the balance sheet date.

At June 30, 2026, the Company’s reclamation bonding requirements were supported by $1.2 billion of surety bonds and approximately $355 million of restricted cash and other balances serving as collateral.

### Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources is based upon its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company is also required under U.S. GAAP to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

At June 30, 2026, the Company identified certain assets with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $57 million in its Other U.S. Thermal reportable segment whose recoverability is most sensitive to customer concentration risk.

The Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company’s critical accounting policies remain unchanged at June 30, 2026, and there have been no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting estimates.

### Newly Adopted Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented

See Note 2. “Newly Adopted Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented” to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of newly adopted accounting standards and accounting standards not yet implemented.

## Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

### Coal Pricing Risk

The Company predominantly manages its commodity price risk for its non-trading, long-term coal contract portfolio through the use of long-term coal supply agreements (those with terms longer than one year) to the extent possible, rather than through the use of derivative instruments. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had approximately 94 million tons of U.S. thermal coal priced and committed for 2026. This includes approximately 81 million tons of PRB coal and 13 million tons of Other U.S. Thermal coal. The Company has the flexibility to increase volumes should demand warrant. Peabody is estimating full year 2026 thermal coal sales volumes from its Seaborne Thermal segment of 12.4 million to 13.0 million tons comprised of thermal export volume of 7.9 million to 8.5 million tons and domestic volume of 4.5 million tons. Peabody is estimating full year 2026 metallurgical coal sales from its Seaborne Metallurgical segment of 8.8 million to 10.3 million tons. Sales commitments in the metallurgical coal market are typically not long-term in nature, and the Company is therefore subject to fluctuations in market pricing. The Company’s sensitivity to market pricing in thermal coal markets is dependent on the duration of contracts.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had no coal derivative contracts related to its forecasted sales. Historically, such financial contracts have included futures and forwards.

### Foreign Currency Risk

The Company utilizes options and collars to hedge currency risk associated with anticipated Australian dollar operating expenditures. The accounting for these derivatives is discussed in Note 6. “Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements” to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2026, the Company held average rate options with an aggregate notional amount of $537.0 million Australian dollars to hedge currency risk associated with anticipated Australian dollar operating expenditures over the nine-month period ending March 31, 2027. As of June 30, 2026, the Company also held purchased collars with an aggregate notional amount of $524.0 million Australian dollars related to anticipated Australian dollar operating expenditures during the nine-month period ending March 31, 2027. Assuming the Company had no foreign currency hedging instruments in place, its exposure in operating costs and expenses due to a $0.10 change in the Australian dollar/U.S. dollar exchange rate is approximately $220 million to $230 million for the next twelve months. Based upon the Australian dollar/U.S. dollar exchange rate at June 30, 2026, the currency option contracts outstanding at that date would limit the Company’s exposure to approximately $178 million with respect to a $0.10 increase in the exchange rate, while the Company would benefit by approximately $195 million with respect to a $0.10 decrease in the exchange rate for the next twelve months.

Although Peabody believes its Australian dollar monetary asset position acts as a partial hedge to lessen the impact on its results from operations, the Company may continue to use options and collars to hedge its cash flow exposure to currency risk associated with anticipated Australian dollar operating expenditures.

### Diesel Fuel Price Risk

The Company expects to consume 95 to 105 million gallons of diesel fuel during the next twelve months. A $10 per barrel change in the price of crude oil (the primary component of a refined diesel fuel product) would increase or decrease its annual diesel fuel costs by approximately $24 million based on its expected usage.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company did not have any diesel fuel derivative instruments in place. The Company partially manages the price risk of diesel fuel through the use of cost pass-through contracts with certain customers.

### Interest Rate Risk

Peabody’s objectives in managing exposure to interest rate changes are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. Peabody is primarily exposed to interest rate risk as a result of its interest-earning cash balances.

Peabody’s interest-earning cash and restricted cash balances are primarily held in deposit accounts and investments with maturities of three months or less. Therefore, these balances are subject to interest rate fluctuations and could produce less income if interest rates fall. Based upon its interest-earning cash and restricted cash balances at June 30, 2026, a one percentage point decrease in interest rates would result in a decrease of approximately $9 million to interest income for the next twelve months.

## Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Peabody’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to, among other things, provide reasonable assurance that material information, both financial and non-financial, and other information required under the securities laws to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to senior management, including the principal executive officer and principal accounting officer, on a timely basis. As of June 30, 2026, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, Peabody’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, such disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective to achieve the desired control objectives. Additionally, there have been no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

### PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

## Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The Company is subject to various legal and regulatory proceedings. For a description of its significant legal proceedings refer to Note 13. “Commitments and Contingencies” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report, which information is incorporated by reference herein.

## Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The Company operates in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks. For information regarding factors that could affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, see the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of Part I of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on February 19, 2026. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, including the information presented in Part I, Item 2. “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” you should carefully consider the risk factors disclosed in the aforementioned filing, which could materially affect the Company's results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

Factors that could affect the Company’s results or an investment in the Company’s securities include, but are not limited to:

- the Company’s profitability depends upon the prices it receives for its coal;
- if a substantial number of the Company’s long-term coal supply agreements, including those with its largest customers, terminate, or if the pricing, volumes or other elements of those agreements materially adjust, its revenue and operating profits could suffer if the Company is unable to find alternate buyers willing to purchase its coal on comparable terms to those in its contracts;
- risks inherent to mining could increase the cost of operating the Company’s business, and events and conditions that could occur during the course of its mining operations could have a material adverse impact on the Company;
- the Company’s take-or-pay arrangements could unfavorably affect its profitability;
- the Company may not recover its investments in its mining, exploration and other assets, which may require the Company to recognize impairment charges related to those assets;
- the Company’s ability to operate effectively could be impaired if it loses key personnel or fails to attract qualified personnel;
- the Company could be negatively affected if it fails to maintain satisfactory labor relations;
- the Company could be adversely affected if it fails to appropriately provide financial assurances for its obligations;
- if the assumptions underlying the Company’s asset retirement obligations for reclamation and mine closures are materially inaccurate, its costs could be significantly greater than anticipated;
- the Company’s mining operations are extensively regulated, which imposes significant costs, and future regulations and developments or differing interpretations of existing regulations could increase those costs or limit its ability to produce coal;
- if litigation challenging “climate superfund” laws is unsuccessful, the Company may be required to make significant payments for alleged climate change damages;
- the Company’s operations may impact the environment or cause exposure to hazardous substances, and its properties may have environmental contamination, which could result in material liabilities to the Company;
- the Company may be unable to obtain, renew or maintain permits necessary for its operations, or may only be able to do so subject to conditions that limit the manner in which it runs its operations, which would reduce its production, cash flows and profitability;
- concerns about the impacts of coal combustion on global climate are increasingly leading to conditions that have affected and could continue to affect demand for the Company’s products or its securities and its ability to produce, including increased governmental regulation of coal combustion and unfavorable investment decisions by electricity generators;
- numerous activist groups are devoting substantial resources to anti-coal activities to minimize or eliminate the use of coal as a source of electricity generation, domestically and internationally, thereby further reducing the demand and pricing for coal, and potentially materially and adversely impacting the Company’s future financial results, liquidity and growth prospects;
- the Company’s hedging activities do not cover certain risks and may expose it to earnings volatility and other risks;
- the Company’s future success depends upon its ability to continue acquiring and developing coal reserves and resources that are economically recoverable;
- the Company faces numerous uncertainties in estimating its coal reserves and resources and inaccuracies in its estimates could result in lower than expected revenue, higher than expected costs and decreased profitability;
- joint ventures, partnerships or non-managed operations may not be successful and may not comply with the Company’s operating standards;
- the Company’s expenditures for postretirement benefit obligations could be materially higher than it has predicted if its underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect;
- changes to trade policy, including tariff and customs regulations, or failure to comply with such regulations may have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations;
- Peabody is exposed to risks associated with political or international conflicts;
- Peabody could be exposed to significant liability, reputational harm, loss of revenue, increased costs or other risks if it experiences cybersecurity attacks or other security breaches that disrupt its operations or result in the dissemination of proprietary or confidential information about the Company, its customers or other third-parties;
- Peabody’s information and operational technology systems may be adversely affected by disruptions, damage, failure and risks associated with implementation and integration, including of new technologies;
- the Company is incorporating artificial intelligence technologies into its processes and these technologies may present business, compliance and reputational risks;
- the Company is subject to various general operating risks which may be fully or partially outside of its control;
- the Company may be able to incur more debt, including secured debt, which could increase the risks associated with its indebtedness;
- the terms of the agreements and instruments governing the Company’s debt and surety bonding obligations impose restrictions that may limit its operating and financial flexibility;
- the number and viability of financing and insurance alternatives available to the Company may be significantly impacted by unfavorable lending and investment policies adopted by financial institutions and insurance companies in response to concerns about the environmental impacts of coal combustion, and negative views around the Company’s environmental and social practices and related governance considerations could harm its perception among investors or result in the exclusion of its securities from consideration by those investors;
- the price of Peabody’s securities may be volatile;
- Peabody’s common stock is subject to dilution and may be subject to further dilution in the future;
- there may be circumstances in which the interests of a significant stockholder could be in conflict with other stakeholders’ interests;
- the future payment of dividends on Peabody’s stock or future repurchases of its stock is dependent on a number of factors and cannot be assured;
- acquisitions and divestitures are a potentially important part of the Company’s long-term strategy, subject to its investment criteria, and involve a number of risks, any of which could cause the Company not to realize the anticipated benefits;
- the outcome of arbitration proceedings related to the termination of agreements to acquire properties from Anglo American plc could adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, and its financial condition;
- the Company may not be able to fully utilize its deferred tax assets;
- Peabody’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws include provisions that may discourage a takeover attempt;
- diversity in interpretation and application of accounting literature in the mining industry may impact the Company’s reported financial results; and
- other risks and factors detailed in this report, including, but not limited to, those discussed in “Legal Proceedings,” set forth in Part II, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

## Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

### Share Repurchase Program

On April 17, 2023, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (2023 Repurchase Program) authorizing repurchases of up to $1.0 billion of its common stock.

Under the 2023 Repurchase Program, the Company may purchase shares of common stock from time to time at the discretion of management through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, accelerated or other structured share repurchase programs, or other means. The manner, timing and pricing of any share repurchase transactions will be based on a variety of factors, including market conditions, applicable legal requirements, the Company’s capital structure and alternative opportunities that the Company may have for the use or investment of capital. Through June 30, 2026, the Company had repurchased 23.8 million shares of its common stock under the 2023 Repurchase Program for $530.8 million (which included commissions paid of $0.4 million), leaving $469.6 million available for share repurchase.

### Dividends

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company declared dividends per share of $0.075 and $0.150. On July 29, 2026 the Company declared an additional dividend per share of $0.075 to be paid on September 3, 2026 to shareholders of record as of August 12, 2026.

### Share Relinquishments

The Company routinely allows employees to relinquish Common Stock to pay estimated taxes upon the vesting of restricted stock units and the payout of performance units that are settled in Common Stock under its equity incentive plans. The value of Common Stock tendered by employees is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the dates of the respective relinquishments.

### Purchases of Equity Securities

The following table summarizes all share purchases for the three months ended June 30, 2026:

| Period | Total Number of Shares Purchased (1) | Average Price Paid per Share | Total Number of Shares Purchasedas Part of Publicly Announced Program | Maximum Dollar Value that May Yet Be Used to Repurchase Shares Under the Publicly Announced Program(In millions) |

Exhibit 10.7

Form of Director Restricted Stock Unit Agreement

PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION 2026 INCENTIVE PLAN RESTRICTED STOCK

Each Restricted Stock Unit granted hereunder is the equivalent of a hypothetical Share with a value on any given date equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on such date. Each Restricted Stock Unit granted hereunder represents an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to issue or deliver, in accordance with Article 4 below, a Share for each vested Restricted Stock Unit.

Section 2.2 -No Obligation of Service. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Grantee any right to continue in the service of the Company or interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to terminate the service of the Grantee at any time for any reason whatsoever.

Section 2.3 -Adjustments in Restricted Stock Units. In the event of the occurrence of one of the corporate transactions or other events listed in Section 4.2 or 13.2 of the Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) shall make such substitution or adjustment as provided in Sections 4.2 or 13.2 of the Plan or otherwise in the terms of the Restricted Stock Units in order to equitably reflect such corporate transaction or other event. Any such adjustment made by the Committee shall be final and binding upon the Grantee, the Company and all other interested persons.

Section 2.4 -Change in Control. In order to maintain the Grantee’s rights with respect to the grant of Restricted Stock Units evidenced hereby, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Committee may take such actions with respect to the Restricted Stock Units or make such modifications to the Restricted Stock Units as are permitted by the Plan.

ARTICLE 3VESTING AND FORFEITURE OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

Section 3.1 -Restricted Stock Unit Vesting. Subject to Sections 3.2 and 3.3, the Restricted Stock Units evidenced by this Agreement shall become nonforfeitable and payable to the Grantee pursuant to Article 4 on the one-year anniversary of the Grant Date, to the extent that the Grantee remains in the service of the Company during the entire period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Grant Date.

Section 3.2 -Effect of Separation from Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 3.3, a number of Restricted Stock Units shall vest upon the Grantee’s Separation from Service that is equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this Agreement multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months

2

107322006.3

between the Grant Date and the date of the Separation from Service and the denominator of which is 12, and the unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be immediately and automatically forfeited upon the Grantee’s Separation from Service.

Section 3.3 -Acceleration Events.

(a)Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.1 or Section 3.2, the Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the Grantee’s Separation from Service due to death or Disability; and (ii) the Grantee’s Separation from Service due to the Grantee reaching the end of his or her elected term and either (A) being ineligible to run for an additional term on the Board as a result of reaching age 75 or (B) having completed at least three (3) years of continuous service as a director.

(b)Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.1, Section 3.2 or Section 3.3(a), in the event of a Change in Control that occurs prior to the Grantee’s Separation from Service, and prior to the end of the 12-month period beginning on the Grant Date, the Restricted Stock Units shall become vested and payable in accordance with Section 3.4 below.

Section 3.4 -Change in Control Acceleration.

(a)In accordance with Section 3.3(b) above, if at any time prior to the Grantee’s Separation from Service, and prior to the end of the 12-month period beginning on the Grant Date, a Change in Control occurs, then any portion of the Restricted Stock Units not already vested or forfeited will become fully vested and payable to the Grantee in accordance with Article 4 below, except to the extent that a Replacement Award is provided to the Grantee in accordance with Section 3.4(b) to continue, replace or assume such portion of the Restricted Stock Units (the “Replaced Award”).

(b)For purposes of this Section 3.4, a “Replacement Award” means an award (i) of the same type (e.g., time-based stock units) as the Replaced Award, (ii) that has a value at least equal to the value of the Replaced Award, (iii) that relates to publicly traded equity securities of the Company or its successor in the Change in Control or another entity that is affiliated with the Company or its successor following the Change in Control, (iv) if the Grantee holding the Replaced Award is subject to U.S. federal income tax under the Code, the tax consequences of which to such Grantee under the Code are not less favorable to such Grantee than the tax consequences of the Replaced Award, and (v) the other terms and conditions of which are not less favorable to the Grantee holding the Replaced Award than the terms and conditions of the Replaced Award (including the provisions that would apply in the event of a subsequent Change in Control). A Replacement Award may be granted only to the extent it does not result in the Replaced Award or Replacement Award failing to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Replacement Award may take the form of a continuation of the Replaced Award if the requirements of the two preceding sentences are satisfied. The determination of whether the conditions of this Section 3.4(b) are satisfied will be made by the Board, as constituted immediately before the Change in Control, in its sole discretion.

(c)If, after receiving a Replacement Award, the Grantee experiences a Separation from Service with the Company or its subsidiary or affiliate (or any of their successors) without cause (as determined by the Board) during the remaining vesting period for the Replacement Award, the Replacement Award shall become nonforfeitable

3

107322006.3

and payable with respect to the time-based stock units covered by such Replacement Award in accordance with Article 4 below.

ARTICLE 4SETTLEMENT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS; OTHER PROVISIONS

Section 4.1 -Settlement of Vested Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the Company shall issue or deliver to the Grantee (or, in the event of the Grantee’s death, to his or her beneficiary or estate) a number of Shares equal to the number of nonforfeitable Restricted Stock Units evidenced by this Agreement. Subject to Section 4.3, such Shares shall be issued or delivered to the Grantee on the Payment Date.

Section 4.2 -Specified Employee. If the Payment Date is triggered by a Separation from Service other than due to death and at the time of such Separation from Service the Grantee is a “specified employee” (as such term is defined in Section 409A and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time), the Company shall issue to the Grantee a number of Shares equal to the number of vested Restricted Stock Units evidenced hereby on the first day of the seventh month after the Payment Date (or upon death, if earlier) to the extent necessary to avoid tax penalties under Section 409A.

Section 4.3 -Conditions to Issuance or Delivery of Stock Certificates. The Shares deliverable hereunder may be either previously authorized but unissued Shares or issued Shares that have been reacquired by the Company. If the Committee reasonably anticipates, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(7)(ii), that issuing Common Stock on the Payment Date will violate federal securities laws or other applicable laws, the Company may delay issuing such Common Stock, provided that the Company issues such Common Stock on the earliest date on which the Committee reasonably anticipates that such issuance will not violate federal securities laws or other applicable laws.

Section 4.4 -Rights as a Shareholder; Dividend Equivalents. The Grantee shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a shareholder of the Company in respect of any Shares underlying Restricted Stock Units evidenced by this Agreement unless and until certificates representing such Shares shall have been issued by the Company to the Grantee or such ownership has otherwise been indicated and documented by the Company. From and after the Grant Date and until the earlier of (a) the time when the Restricted Stock Units become nonforfeitable and are paid in accordance with this Article 4 or (b) the time when the Grantee’s right to receive payment for the Restricted Stock Units is forfeited in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, on the date that the Company pays a cash dividend (if any) to holders of Shares generally, the Grantee shall be credited with a number of additional Restricted Stock Units (which need not be a whole number) equal to the quotient of (x) the product of (i) the dividend declared per Share multiplied by (ii) the number of Restricted Stock Units evidenced by this Agreement (including any Restricted Stock Units representing previously-credited Dividend Equivalents), divided by (y) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date such dividend is paid to shareholders; provided that no such Dividend Equivalents shall be credited unless the record date for the cash dividend is on or after the Grant Date. Any amounts credited pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be subject to the same applicable terms and conditions (including vesting, payment and forfeitability) as apply to the Restricted Stock Units based on which the Dividend Equivalents were credited, and such additional Restricted Stock Units (rounded to the nearest whole Restricted Stock Unit) shall be paid in Shares at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate are paid.

ARTICLE 5MISCELLANEOUS

4

107322006.3

Section 5.1 -Tax Consequences. Unless otherwise specifically provided in another agreement between the Company and the Grantee, the Company shall not be liable or responsible for any tax of the Grantee relating to the Restricted Stock Units, and the Grantee agrees to be responsible for any and all such taxes with respect to the Restricted Stock Units.

Section 5.2 -Administration. The Committee has the power to interpret the terms of the Restricted Stock Units, the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee shall be final and binding upon the Grantee, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Committee shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or the Restricted Stock Units. In its absolute discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties of the Committee under the Plan and this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any fractional Restricted Stock Unit is produced under the terms of the Plan or this Agreement, immediately prior to the payment thereof, such fractional Restricted Stock Unit shall be rounded to the nearest whole Restricted Stock Unit; as a result, there will be no fractional Restricted Stock Units to settle under this Agreement.

Section 5.3 -Restricted Stock Units Not Transferable. Neither the Restricted Stock Units nor any interest or right therein or part thereof shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Grantee or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition is voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect; provided, however, that this Section 5.3 shall not prevent transfers by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

Section 5.4 -Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of its Secretary, and any notice to be given to the Grantee shall be addressed to him or her at the address set forth in the records of the Company. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 5.4, either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to him, her or it. Any notice which is required to be given to the Grantee shall, if the Grantee is then deceased, be given to the Grantee’s personal representative if such representative has previously informed the Company of his, her or its status and address by written notice under this Section 5.4. Any notice shall be deemed duly given when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope or wrapper addressed as aforesaid, deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice required or permitted hereunder from the Company to the Grantee may be made by electronic means, including by electronic mail to the Company maintained electronic mailbox of the Grantee, and the Grantee hereby consents to receive such notice by electronic delivery. To the extent permitted in an electronically delivered notice described in the previous sentence, the Grantee shall be permitted to respond to such notice or communication by way of a responsive electronic communication, including by electronic mail.

Section 5.5 -Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

Section 5.7 -Applicability of Plan. The Restricted Stock Units and the Shares issued to the Grantee hereunder, if any, shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan, to the extent applicable to the Restricted Stock Units and such Shares. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.

Section 5.8 -Amendment.

(a)Except as permitted by the Plan, this Agreement may be amended only by a writing executed by the parties hereto that specifically states that it is amending this Agreement.

(b)If either party to this Agreement reasonably determines that any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement would result in adverse tax consequences under Section 409A, then such party shall deliver written notice of such determination to the other party, and the parties hereby agree to work in good faith to amend this Agreement so it complies with the requirements of Section 409A and preserves as nearly as possible the original intent and economic effect of the affected provisions.

(c)To the extent applicable, this Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A so that the income inclusion provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code do not apply to Grantee, and this Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and administered in a manner that is consistent with this intent and the requirements for avoiding additional taxes or penalties under Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Grantee on account of Section 409A.

(d)Except as permitted under Section 409A, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) payable to a Grantee or for the Grantee’s benefit under this Agreement and grants evidenced hereby may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by the Grantee to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(e)Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in light of the uncertainty with respect to the proper application of Section 409A, the Company reserves the right to make amendments to this Agreement and the terms of the Restricted Stock Units as the Company deems necessary or desirable to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Section 409A. In any case, neither the Company nor any of its affiliates will have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold the Grantee harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties

Section 5.9 -Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Plan or this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, and each provision of the Plan and this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

Section 5.10 -Dispute Resolution. Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be resolved by arbitration in St. Louis, Missouri. Arbitrators shall be selected, and arbitration shall be conducted, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The Company shall pay or reimburse any legal fees in connection with such arbitration in the event that the Grantee prevails on a material element of his or her claim or defense. Payments or reimbursements of legal fees made under this Section 5.9 that are provided during one calendar year shall not affect the amount of such payments or reimbursements provided during a subsequent calendar year, payments or reimbursements under

6

107322006.3

this Section 5.9 may not be exchanged or substituted for another form of compensation to the Grantee, and any such reimbursement or payment will be paid within 60 days after the Grantee prevails, but in no event later than the last day of the Grantee’s taxable year following the taxable year in which he incurred the expense giving rise to such reimbursement or payment. This Section 5.9 shall remain in effect throughout the period in which Grantee provide services to the Company and for a period of five years following the Grantee’s Separation from Service.

Section 5.11 -Governing Law. The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern the interpretation, validity and performance of the terms of this Agreement regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflicts of laws.

Section 5.12 -Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Counterpart signatures to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile, electronic mail, or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing an original signature.

Section 5.13 -Acceptance of the Plan. The Grantee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and this Agreement. The Grantee has read and understands the terms and provisions thereof, and accepts the Restricted Stock Units subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. The Grantee acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units and that the Grantee has been advised to consult a tax advisor prior to such vesting or settlement.

Exhibit 95

Mine Safety Disclosures

The following disclosures are provided pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations, which require certain disclosures by companies required to file periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that operate coal mines regulated under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the Mine Act). The disclosures reflect United States (U.S.) mining operations only, as these requirements do not apply to our mines operated outside the U.S.

Mine Safety Information. Whenever the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) believes that a violation of the Mine Act, any health or safety standard, or any regulation has occurred, it may issue a violation which describes the associated condition or practice and designates a timeframe within which the operator must abate the violation. In some situations, such as when MSHA believes that conditions pose a hazard to miners, MSHA may issue an order removing miners from the area of the mine affected by the condition until hazards are corrected. Whenever MSHA issues a citation or order, it generally proposes a civil penalty, or fine, as a result of the violation that the operator is ordered to pay. Citations and orders can be contested and appealed and, as part of that process, are often reduced in severity and amount, and are sometimes vacated. The number of citations, orders and proposed assessments vary depending on the size and type (underground or surface) of the company and mine. Since MSHA is a branch of the U.S. Department of Labor, its jurisdiction applies only to our U.S. mines. As such, the mine safety disclosures that follow contain no information for our Australian mines.

The tables that follow reflect citations and orders issued to us by MSHA during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as reflected in our systems. The tables include only those mines that were issued orders or citations during the periods presented and, commensurate with SEC regulations, do not reflect orders or citations issued to independent contractors working at our mines. Due to timing and other factors, our data may not agree with the mine data retrieval system maintained by MSHA. The proposed assessments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were taken from the MSHA system as of August 3, 2026.

Additional information about MSHA references used in the tables is as follows:

- Section 104 S&S Violations: The total number of violations received from MSHA under section 104(a) of the Mine Act that could significantly and substantially contribute to a serious injury if left unabated.
- Section 104(b) Orders: The total number of orders issued by MSHA under section 104(b) of the Mine Act, which represents a failure to abate a citation under section 104(a) within the period of time prescribed by MSHA. This results in an order of immediate withdrawal from the area of the mine affected by the condition until MSHA determines that the violation has been abated.
- Section 104(d) Citations and Orders: The total number of citations and orders issued by MSHA under section 104(d) of the Mine Act for unwarrantable failure to comply with mandatory health or safety standards.
- Section 104(e) Notices: The total number of notices issued by MSHA under section 104(e) of the Mine Act for a pattern of violations that could contribute to mine health or safety hazards.
- Section 110(b)(2) Violations: The total number of flagrant violations issued by MSHA under section 110(b)(2) of the Mine Act.
- Section 107(a) Orders: The total number of orders issued by MSHA under section 107(a) of the Mine Act for situations in which MSHA determined an imminent danger existed.
- Proposed MSHA Assessments: The total dollar value of proposed assessments from MSHA.
- Fatalities: The total number of mining-related fatalities.

Pending Legal Actions. The Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission (the Commission) is an independent adjudicative agency that provides administrative trial and appellate review of legal disputes arising under the Mine Act. These cases may involve, among other questions, challenges by operators to citations, orders and penalties they have received from MSHA, or complaints of discrimination by miners under section 105 of the Mine Act. The following is a brief description of the types of legal actions that may be brought before the Commission.

- Contests of Citations and Orders: A contest proceeding may be filed with the Commission by operators, miners or miners’ representatives to challenge the issuance of a citation or order issued by MSHA, including citations related to disputed provisions of operators' emergency response plans.
- Contests of Proposed Penalties (Petitions for Assessment of Penalties): A contest of a proposed penalty is an administrative proceeding before the Commission challenging a civil penalty that MSHA has proposed for the violation. Such proceedings may also involve appeals of judges' decisions or orders to the Commission on proposed penalties, including petitions for discretionary review and review by the Commission on its own motion.
- Complaints for Compensation: A complaint for compensation may be filed with the Commission by miners entitled to compensation when a mine is closed by certain withdrawal orders issued by MSHA. The purpose of the proceeding is to determine the amount of compensation, if any, due miners idled by the orders.
- Complaints of Discharge, Discrimination or Interference: A discrimination proceeding is a case that involves a miner’s allegation that he or she has suffered a wrong by the operator because he or she engaged in some type of activity protected under the Mine Act, such as making a safety complaint. This category includes temporary reinstatement proceedings, which involve cases in which a miner has filed a complaint with MSHA stating he or she has suffered discrimination and the miner has lost his or her position.
- Applications for Temporary Relief: An application for temporary relief from any modification or termination of any order or from any order issued under certain subparts of section 104 of the Mine Act may be filed with the Commission at any time before such order becomes final.

The table that follows presents information by mine regarding pending legal actions before the Commission at June 30, 2026. Each legal action is assigned a docket number by the Commission and may have as its subject matter one or more citations, orders, penalties or complaints.
