Highlights:

  • Generated $57.3 million of free cash flow in the second quarter of 2024
  • Retired remaining 0.3 million warrants with $10.0 million in cash and 89,059 common units; Zero warrants of original 4 million warrants remain outstanding
  • Redeemed $40.0 million of preferred units at par with cash; $31.7 million of original $250 million preferred units remain outstanding
  • Paid first quarter 2024 common unit distribution of $0.75 per unit
  • Declares second quarter 2024 common unit distribution of $0.75 per unit

"NRP generated $57 million of free cash flow in the second quarter of 2024 and $287 million of free cash flow over the last twelve months," said Craig Nunez, NRP's president and chief operating officer. "Despite lower coal and soda ash prices seen in 2024, we continue to generate robust free cash flow and make significant progress toward our goal of eliminating all of our financial obligations. We no longer have any warrants outstanding and currently have approximately $240 million of debt and preferred equity remaining.”

Mr. Nunez continued, "Coal and soda ash prices in the first half of the year were significantly lower than the highs seen in 2022 and 2023 and we expect this trend to continue. However, we remain on track to eliminate all preferred equity and debt from our balance sheet, after which our common unitholders will have no competing claims on free cash flow generated by the partnership. We are steadfast in our belief that this strategy is the best way to maximize intrinsic value and unitholder returns.”

NRP announced today that the board of directors of its general partner declared a second quarter 2024 cash distribution of $0.75 per common unit to be paid on August 27, 2024, to unitholders of record on August 20, 2024. In addition, the board declared a $0.95 million cash distribution on NRP's outstanding preferred units. Future distributions on NRP's common and preferred units will be determined on a quarterly basis by the board of directors. The board of directors considers numerous factors each quarter in determining cash distributions including profitability, cash flow, debt service obligations, market conditions and outlook, estimated unitholder income tax liability, and the level of cash reserves that the board determines is necessary for future operating and capital needs.

Segment Performance

Mineral Rights

Mineral Rights net income for the second quarter of 2024 was relatively flat as compared to the prior year period. Lower coal sales prices and volumes were offset by non-recurring items that included a $4.6 million gain on asset sales primarily related to a coal property condemnation and a $2.1 million carbon neutral initiative transaction. Mineral Rights operating cash flow and free cash flow each increased $1.2 million as compared to the prior year period primarily due to the timing of cash collections and the carbon neutral initiative transaction identified above, partially offset by weaker coal sales prices and volumes. Approximately 75% of coal royalty revenues and approximately 60% of coal royalty sales volumes were derived from metallurgical coal in the second quarter of 2024.

Metallurgical coal prices continued to decline during the second quarter of 2024 due to weakened steel demand primarily as a result of the decline in China's construction industry and slower than expected recovery of the construction market in Europe. While metallurgical prices were significantly lower than the record highs seen in 2022, they remain elevated as compared to historical norms. NRP expects ongoing price volatility for both metallurgical and thermal coal as global steel demand impacts metallurgical coal while weather, natural gas prices, inventory levels, and scheduled shutdowns of coal plants impact thermal coal. Limitations on operators' ability to increase production due to limited access to capital and labor shortages, as well as inflationary pressures, are expected to provide ongoing price support above historical norms.

NRP continues to explore carbon neutral revenue opportunities across its large asset portfolio. While the timing and likelihood of additional cash flows from these activities is uncertain, NRP believes its large ownership footprint throughout the United States provides additional opportunities to create value in this regard with minimal capital investment by NRP. NRP's carbon neutral revenue opportunities include the sequestration of carbon dioxide underground and in standing forests, the generation of electricity using geothermal, solar, and wind energy, and lithium production.

Soda Ash

Soda Ash net income in the second quarter of 2024 decreased $23.3 million as compared to the prior year period primarily due to lower sales prices driven by new supply from China. Operating cash flow and free cash flow in the second quarter of 2024 decreased $24.8 million as compared to the prior year period due to a lower cash distribution received from Sisecam Wyoming in the second quarter of 2024.

Global soda ash prices continue to be significantly lower than the record setting prices seen in the previous year due to an influx of new supply. NRP believes lower soda ash prices will remain throughout the year and into next year as the market absorbs the additional supply.

Corporate and Financing

Corporate and Financing costs increased $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher interest costs as a result of increased borrowings on the credit facility used to accelerate the redemption of preferred units and settlement of warrants in 2024.

NRP retired the remainder of the outstanding 0.3 million warrants for $10.0 million in cash and 89,059 common units during the second quarter of 2024. NRP has now retired all 4.0 million of its previously issued warrants. NRP also redeemed $40.0 million preferred units at par with cash during the second quarter of 2024. Of the originally issued $250 million preferred units, only $31.7 million preferred units remain outstanding.

In May 2024, NRP declared and paid a first quarter 2024 cash distribution of $0.75 per common unit and a $2.15 million cash distribution on its preferred units. Today, NRP declared a second quarter 2024 cash distribution of $0.75 per common unit and a $0.95 million cash distribution on its outstanding preferred units.

NRP's available liquidity was $64.7 million at June 30, 2024, consisting of $32.3 million of cash and $32.3 million of borrowing capacity available under its revolving credit facility.

NRP's consolidated leverage ratio was 0.7x at June 30, 2024.

Concurrent with this announcement, we are providing qualified notice to brokers and nominees that hold NRP units on behalf of non-U.S. investors under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1446-4(b) and (d) and Treasury Regulation Section 1.1446(f)-4(c)(2)(iii). Brokers and nominees should treat one hundred percent (100%) of NRP's distributions to non-U.S. investors as being attributable to income that is effectively connected with a United States trade or business. In addition, brokers and nominees should treat one hundred percent (100%) of the distribution as being in excess of cumulative net income for purposes of determining the amount to withhold. Accordingly, NRP's distributions to non-U.S. investors are subject to federal income tax withholding at a rate equal to the sum of the highest applicable rate plus ten percent (10%).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

"Adjusted EBITDA" is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net income (loss) less equity earnings from unconsolidated investment; plus total distributions from unconsolidated investment, interest expense, net, debt modification expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, depreciation, depletion and amortization and asset impairments. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or loss, net income or loss attributable to partners, operating income or loss, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance, liquidity or ability to service debt obligations. There are significant limitations to using Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance, including the inability to analyze the effect of certain recurring items that materially affect our net income, the lack of comparability of results of operations of different companies and the different methods of calculating Adjusted EBITDA reported by different companies. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA presented below is not calculated or presented on the same basis as Consolidated EBITDA as defined in our partnership agreement or Consolidated EBITDDA as defined in Opco's debt agreements. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental performance measure used by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others to assess the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis.

“Distributable cash flow or "DCF" is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities plus distributions from unconsolidated investment in excess of cumulative earnings, proceeds from asset sales and disposals, including sales of discontinued operations, and return of long-term contract receivable; less maintenance capital expenditures. DCF is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities. DCF may not be calculated the same for us as for other companies. In addition, distributable cash flow is not calculated or presented on the same basis as distributable cash flow as defined in our partnership agreement, which is used as a metric to determine whether we are able to increase quarterly distributions to our common unitholders. Distributable cash flow is a supplemental liquidity measure used by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others to assess our ability to make cash distributions and repay debt.

“Free cash flow or "FCF" is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities plus distributions from unconsolidated investment in excess of cumulative earnings and return of long-term contract receivable; less maintenance and expansion capital expenditures and cash flow used in acquisition costs classified as investing or financing activities. FCF is calculated before mandatory debt repayments. Free cash flow is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities. Free cash flow may not be calculated the same for us as for other companies. Free cash flow is a supplemental liquidity measure used by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others to assess our ability to make cash distributions and repay debt.

"Leverage ratio" represents the outstanding principal of NRP's debt at the end of the period divided by the last twelve months' Adjusted EBITDA as defined above. NRP believes that leverage ratio is a useful measure to management and investors to evaluate and monitor the indebtedness of NRP relative to its ability to generate income to service such debt and in understanding trends in NRPs overall financial condition. Leverage ratio may not be calculated the same for NRP as for other companies and is not a substitute for, and should not be used in conjunction with, GAAP financial ratios.
