For each of 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020, total shareholder return for the Company and the peer group was calculated as the yearly percentage change in cumulative total shareholder return based on a deemed fixed investment of $100 at market close on December 30, 2019. The yearly percentage change in cumulative total shareholder return was measured as the quotient of (a) the sum of (i) the cumulative amount of dividends for the period from December 30, 2019 through and including the last day of the covered fiscal year, or the Measurement Period, assuming dividend reinvestment, plus (ii) the difference between stock price per share at the end and the beginning of the Measurement Period, divided by (b) stock price per share at the beginning of the Measurement Period. For purposes of this pay versus performance disclosure, our peer group consists of the following entities: Stanmore Resources Ltd, Whitehaven Coal Ltd, New Hope Corporation Limited, Yancoal Australia Ltd, Arch Coal Inc., Peabody Energy Corporation, Warrior Met Coal Inc. and Alpha Metallurgical Resources, Inc (f/k/a Contura Energy, Inc.) or the Peer Group. For purposes of calculating the Peer Group total shareholder return, the returns of each component issuer of the group were weighted according to the respective issuers’ stock market capitalization at the beginning of the Measurement Period. Because fiscal years are presented in the table in reverse chronical order (from top to bottom), the table should be read from bottom to top for purposes of understanding cumulative returns over time.

Cash flow is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA less capex, interest and tax paid. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization and other foreign exchange losses. Adjusted EBITDA is also adjusted for certain discrete items that management exclude in analyzing each of the Company’s segments’ operating performance. For a complete discussion of, and reconciliation of, Adjusted EBITDA to the relevant GAAP measure, see Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on page 96 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on February 19, 2025.
