Warrior Met Coal reported sharply higher Q2 2026 earnings and free cash flow, raised full-year coal volume guidance on strong Blue Creek mine performance, and declared a $0.08 quarterly dividend.

Warrior Met Coal, Inc. reported strong second quarter 2026 results, highlighted by net income of $87.4 million ($1.65 per diluted share) versus $5.6 million a year earlier and a 193% increase in adjusted EBITDA to $156.9 million, driven by record sales volumes of 3.7 million short tons, higher production from the Blue Creek mine, improved steelmaking coal pricing, and lower cash cost of sales per ton. Free cash flow improved to $103.4 million from negative $56.7 million in the prior-year quarter as operating cash flow rose and Blue Creek construction spending declined, boosting liquidity to $452.9 million as of June 30, 2026. The company raised its full-year 2026 coal sales volume guidance by 0.5 million tons to 13.0–14.0 million short tons, affirmed cost and capital expenditure outlook ranges, and noted key drivers such as additional longwall moves, pricing indices, freight, trade policies, labor contracts, and inflation. The board also declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share, payable August 17, 2026 to stockholders of record on August 10, 2026, and management emphasized that Blue Creek has transitioned from a development project to an operating contributor, marking a shift to a growth phase focused on free cash flow, balance sheet strength, and long-term shareholder returns.
